After the imperial doctor administered the acupuncture, Eunuch Mu Ru's condition did not improve much. After the imperial doctor checked his pulse, he felt that his pulse was sluggish and his heartbeat would not stop. It seemed that he would not be able to survive.
The imperial doctor reported truthfully, but Yu Wenhao couldn't accept it. It was too sudden. Grandma Xi was suddenly injured, and something happened to Mu Ru. Why did it happen all of a sudden?
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Xu Yi had already rushed back and just heard the imperial doctor's report. He was so anxious that his heart was in a state of confusion.
Yu Wenhao looked at Eunuch Mu Ru's lifeless face, raised his head suddenly and immediately told Xu Yi, "Go to Prince Su's Mansion. If Aunt Xi's condition is stable and out of danger, please ask the Queen to come back immediately."
"yes!"
Xu Yi hurriedly responded and turned around. When he got outside, he saw Eunuch Mu Ru's disciples guarding the door, and Xiao Jinzi was also there, timidly hiding behind and looking around. He was even more suspicious.
After Bu left, he notified the imperial guards and asked them to calmly control Xiao Jinzi without saying what the crime was, for fear of causing misunderstanding.
Xu Yigang finished ordering the imperial troops and ran outside. He saw the queen coming quickly with a medicine box. He was startled and said, "Your Majesty..." "No need to say it, I understand."
Yuan Qingling didn't stop and walked hurriedly in. There was a hint of panic in her usually calm eyes.
When she went in and saw Lao Wu there, she was not surprised at all. The reason why she rushed back was because she sensed Lao Wu's sudden panic.
Lao Wu has been very calm these years. She knew something must have happened, so she was happy to rush back as soon as her condition stabilized.
When he returned to the palace, he heard that something had happened to Eunuch Mu Ru. No wonder Lao Wu was flustered. Eunuch Mu Ru had been by his side all year round these years, and they had a close relationship.
"Lao Yuan!"
When Yu Wenhao saw her coming back, he felt relieved and immediately asked, "What's going on with Grandma Xi?"
"It's stable for now, don't panic, let me take a look."
Yuan Qingling gave him a comforting look and walked over quickly.
Yuan Qingling first invited the imperial doctor out, and then examined Eunuch Mu Ru, her expression became solemn.
Yu Wenhao stood beside her and saw that after she quickly put the potion on Mu Ru, she had to push a tube of needle water in first. He had seen Lao Yuan saving people, but if he had to do this, it would probably be very serious.
Moreover, after hanging up the water, she searched in the medicine box for a long time, but it seemed that she could not find the medicine she needed. Yu Wenhao couldn't help but panic and asked: "What's going on?"
Yuan Qingling looked for the medicine box and replied: "Severely, he was poisoned, and the poison penetrated into his heart. If he hadn't been strong enough to protect his heart, he would be gone right now."
"Poisoned?"
Yu Wenhao was surprised, "Just now the imperial doctor said he was not poisoned."
Yuan Qingling stood up and said solemnly: "The imperial doctors probably use silver needles to test, but not all poisons can be tested with silver needles. This poison is not overbearing, but it is absorbed after entering the stomach and will run through the internal organs.
, I am taking medicine to protect him first, but if the toxicity cannot be eliminated, the heart and lungs will slowly fail, and we must find a cure before it fails."
"Then where to find medicine?"
Yu Wenhao was angry that someone was so poisonous to Mu, but he wanted to save Mu Ru first, and the murderer would definitely be found.
"Do not worry."
Yuan Qingling closed her eyes, suppressed her tumbling heart, thought about it, and sent out some information.
Lao Wu did not disturb her and turned around to go out. Without waiting for instructions to Xu Yi, Xu Yi came forward and said softly: "Take Xiao Jinzi and call the imperial army for interrogation. Then the truth will be revealed."
"Xiao Jinzi?"
Yu Wenhao frowned, "Isn't Mu Ru his master?
What did he want to do with the poison?"
"I'm not sure it's him yet, but he's suspicious. I just asked Wei Chen that Xiao Jinzi came to serve Eunuch Mu Ru last night."
Yu Wenhao remembered that Xiao Jinzi said earlier this morning that he had never met Mu Ru. No matter what the reason was, there must be something wrong with lying.
"check!"
Yu Wenhao said coldly.
"Leave it to Wei Chen."
Xu Yi's heart became cruel. He and Eunuch Mu Ru served the emperor together. There were some things that the emperor could not know, that is, the people below were scheming and trying to squeeze in front of the emperor, but Eunuch Mu Ru was a barrier and had to pass through.
He made a strict assessment before he could appear in front of the emperor.
Xiao Jinzi used to work as a busboy in the Imperial Pharmacy and was promoted by Eunuch Mu Ru. He was considered to have relatively good potential. However, Eunuch Mu Ru did not let him serve in the palace for a long time, so he was probably impatient and thought that Eunuch Mu Ru was dead.
Once you get there, he can go in and serve you.
This is Xu Yi's guess, but he thinks it is almost the same.
