Even if the man in front of her looks like the man she deeply owed in her previous life, he is not him!
"The prince is joking. My daughter has met the prince before during the day." Mu Jieyu said with a smile without changing his face.
"No, I'm not talking about Bai Ri, but..." Xuanyuan Zhiqi stopped in the middle of his instinctive retort, but in an instant all his emotions subsided, and he immediately returned to the noble and majestic prince of the Tian family, "I, the king,
It's so abrupt, Miss Mu can just think that this king is insane."
"The poison in the prince's body will naturally affect his sanity." Mu Jieyu said that she was able to relax in front of Xuanyuan Zhiqi like this, just because he was similar to other people.
"As soon as I entered Kasyapa Temple, I contracted a strange disease. Every day after the quarter-hour bell rang, I would feel dizzy. I also called the accompanying imperial doctor for consultation. The imperial doctor only said that I was tired.
"Excessive." Xuanyuan Zhiqi recalled solemnly, "Because the dizziness was only for a moment and there was no other discomfort, I didn't take it to heart. But after a quarter of noon today, I was resting in the Zen room and suddenly felt a pain in my head.
I fainted and didn't wake up until three quarters of the year."
"There is no one around the prince?" Mu Jieyu frowned.
"I only have two personal guards around me." A trace of mockery flashed in Xuanyuan Zhiqi's eyes.
No wonder King Ying did not defend himself when facing Emperor Hong'an. King Ying suddenly fell into a coma. He himself should have known that there was something fishy. Even the imperial doctor could not diagnose the cause. If he defended himself, once the imperial doctor confirmed the diagnosis, it would become sophistry and he might even be labeled as such by someone with a heart.
The name of having evil intentions. Although it has been certified, it is not enough to win the public's trust, so it is better to plead guilty. Emperor Hong'an will be fine and will not be severely punished.
"Didn't anyone inform the prince?" Mu Jieyu remembered that as soon as the assassin appeared, there were guards to report the news.
"The person who reported the news was dead before he left the bamboo forest."
"Where is the commander of the guards?"
Emperor Hong'an was at Shuixie. Xuanyuan Zhiqi, who was responsible for Emperor Hong'an's safety, suddenly fainted. Seeing Emperor Hong'an who had not returned for a long time, as the commander of the bodyguards, even if he did not go on a personal inspection to ensure the emperor's safety, he had to report to Xuanyuan as soon as possible.
Zhi Qi, if anything happens otherwise, it will be a serious crime of beheading! Even if it is not to bear this crime, the guard commander should report it.
"Xue Guocheng, the commander of the guards, has hanged himself in the Zen room. He was discovered by the guards just after Yinshi." Xuanyuan Zhiqi's deep phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light.
"cause of death?"
"The imperial physician diagnosed him as death from suffocation."
"Even if he died of suffocation, there are many reasons, and it is not necessarily suicide!" Mu Jieyu said solemnly.
"Third brother has already checked and found that Xue Guocheng was indeed killed." Xuanyuan Zhiqi said with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "After third brother gave the advice, the imperial doctor took another look and found a little powder in Xue Guocheng's tea cup, which was from Cunxincao.
Medicinal powder.”
"Cun Xin Cao? It only grows in the bitter cold areas of northern Xinjiang." Mu Jieyu's eyes darkened. "This medicine is not only rare, it is also colorless and tasteless, and has strange medicinal effects. If ordinary people eat it by mistake, their heart arteries will be blocked and their blood will coagulate.
Even breathing becomes stagnant. But once the effect of the medicine wears off, everything returns to normal and there will be no residue in the body."
After studying medicine with Liu Yishou for several years, Mu Jieyu had long known that there were many medicinal herbs in this era that were different from those in the previous life, and there were even many things that were unheard of in the previous life, such as this rare Cunxincao.
"Miss Mu is indeed Liu Shengshou's disciple." Xuanyuan Zhiqi smiled softly, then looked up at the night sky, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb the girl. If the girl has any request, just send someone to inform her.
This king."
"Farewell, Your Majesty." Mu Jieyu didn't want to have any guests.
Xuanyuan Zhiqi gave Mu Jieyu a deep look, then turned and left.
