As a mother, Mu Ci certainly understands how Concubine He Xian feels.
I don’t know who wants to use her hand to get rid of the eldest prince. Logically speaking, the eldest prince has been keeping a low profile for a long time, so no one should have noticed his existence.
But why are some people still eyeing the eldest prince?
And the timing was chosen so well, on the day she delivered the snacks, this drama happened.
The top priority is that the eldest prince is safe and sound.
Mu Ci sat in front of the couch, looked at the sleeping eldest prince, and asked the imperial doctor: "How is Nian'er? Is it a serious problem?"
The imperial doctor just sighed: "The lower official can only do his best and dare not guarantee anything."
Concubine He Xian turned pale as a sheet when she heard this: "How can your lord say such irresponsible words? This is the eldest prince, the emperor's son. You can't do this..."
She rushed to the imperial doctor and wanted to argue with him, but the imperial doctor did not dare to look directly at her, which showed that he was not sure.
When Mu Ci saw this, his heart dropped.
"Sizhu, please leave the palace as soon as possible and bring Mr. Qi into the palace. Without further ado, go quickly!" Mu Ci gave an order decisively.
She couldn't leave Nian'er's life in the hands of such a quack doctor.
Sizhu did not dare to neglect, so she left the palace as quickly as possible and asked Qi Yu to come inside.
Her speed was very fast, and it only took an hour.
After Qi Yu arrived at Chuxiu Palace, he immediately helped the eldest prince to see a doctor. His expression was cold, and after checking his pulse, his face turned ugly: "We have to force the poison out of the body as soon as possible, and it won't work any later!"
"We must save the child. Nothing will happen to Nian'er. Mr. Qi, please." Mu Ci said with pleading eyes.
Qi Yu lowered his head: "The common people will do their best to heal the eldest prince. However, I still need to ask Concubine Chen to help the common people."
He explained it like this.
Concubine He Xian has no master, so Mu Ci has the final say.
Following Qi Yu's instructions, she prepared a large bathtub, boiled the medicinal materials with water, and asked the eldest prince to take a medicinal bath in the tub. At the same time, Qi Yu administered acupuncture to help the eldest prince force the poison out of his body.
.
Mu Ci arranged everything in an orderly manner. After everyone had gone out, she ordered people to watch the door and not allow anyone to approach the place where Qi Yu performed the acupuncture.
"It's clear that the snacks sent by Concubine Chen are poisonous, but she still pretends to detoxify the eldest prince. Concubine Xian, can you really trust the eldest prince in Concubine Chen's hands?" Qi Luo spat softly.
Aren't you afraid that Mu Ci will take the opportunity to kill the eldest prince?
Concubine He Xian's heart is all about the eldest prince, so how can she listen to Qi Luo's attempts to sow discord?
Seeing that Qi Luo was still chattering, An Rong lowered her face and shouted: "Concubine Ming, shut up!"
Qi Luo hummed: "Don't act arrogant in front of me, who knows that you, a noble concubine, exist in name only?!"
An Rong's concubine is not as useful as Mu Ci, the concubine Chen. After all, Mu Ci still has the prince by her side, but An Rong has nothing but the emperor's dislike of her!
An Rong glanced at her lightly and was not angry because of her words.
Shen Manyun sat quietly aside, thinking about who was poisoning the eldest prince. It was absolutely impossible for Mu Ci, and if Mu Ci wanted to harm someone, it would never be so obvious. Someone clearly wanted to frame Mu Ci.
.
But who could be the person who framed Mu Ci?
She must be some concubine in this harem, right?
Concubine He Xian was also careless. How could she give the food to the eldest prince without checking it? Even if it was sent by Mu Ci, she had to be careful.
As time goes by, everyone is waiting for the results to come out.
With Qi Yu here, the eldest prince shouldn't have any worries about his life, right?
Of course, some people have evil intentions. If the eldest prince's life is in danger this time, Mu Ci is the biggest suspect. Since the emperor is not in the palace, An Rong, as a noble concubine, may be able to take the opportunity to convict Mu Ci.
In this way, it is equivalent to eliminating two powerful opponents, especially Mu Ci, who is a thorn in the side and is the target that everyone must eradicate.
Therefore, everyone understood the true intention of the person who poisoned the prince behind his back. He not only wanted to harm the eldest prince, but also wanted to get rid of Mu Ci. It was really a good game.
I'm just afraid that Mu Ci's fate is too good, and this round will not be lethal to Mu Ci.
Facts have proved that everyone's concerns were correct.
An hour later, Qi Yu came out. Although his face was tired, there was an obvious smile on his face.
"How is Nian'er?" Mu Ci rushed over and asked eagerly.
"The poison in the eldest prince's body has been almost eliminated, but there is still some residual poison. The grassroots will prescribe some medicine and all the remaining poison will be forced out in a few days." Qi Yu gave Mu Ci a reassurance.
Mu Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay."
As she spoke, she turned around, looked at everyone present, and said word for word: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end. The real culprit must be found and punished severely!"
"It's clear that the thief is shouting to catch the thief." Qi Luo whispered back.
Mu Ci glanced at her with sharp eyes, and she smiled and said: "Concubine An is in charge of the Sixth Palace, so she should investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Anyway, Mu Ci is the biggest suspect. We cannot let Mu Ci investigate this matter. Otherwise, how can we find out who the real murderer is?
"Concubine Xian is the one who suffers. This matter should be handed over to Concubine Xian for thorough investigation." Mu Ci disagreed.
An Rong is also suspected. Of course, the case cannot be handed over to An Rong for investigation. The most suitable person to investigate this matter is none other than Concubine He Xian.
Everyone looked at Concubine He Xian, who agreed: "I am Nian'er's mother-in-law. He was poisoned under my nose. This matter will be investigated by me. I believe everyone has no objection."
As soon as she said this, others couldn't comment anymore, so they all agreed.
Shen Manyun stood up and said, "I'm going to see the eldest prince."
She said and went to the inner room.
The eldest prince is still sleeping, his lips are no longer dark, but his little face is a little haggard.
"I wonder who could be so cruel and poison such a well-behaved child." Shen Manyun murmured to himself.
Mu Ci followed and happened to hear her say this.
I believe this is everyone's confusion. Who put his hand into the Chuxiu Palace? Concubine He Xian didn't look like a fool, so why did the eldest prince fall for it at this juncture?
Seeing Mu Ci coming, Shen Manyun immediately stood up: "I'm annoyed when I see you!"
After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Mu Ci glanced at Shen Manyun's back, and then An Rong walked in and said, "Concubine Chen, don't be as knowledgeable as Sister Shen. She has such a straight-forward temperament."
Mu Ci lightly raised her eyebrows and was too lazy to talk to An Rong.
I wonder if An Rong played a special role in this matter. An Rong is so unpredictable now that she can't figure out An Rong's thoughts.
To be precise, An Rong has become very different since she walked away from the edge of life and death.
Something that can be ignored once you die once may be suitable for other people, but it is definitely not suitable for An Rong.
After all, An Rong will get better. Unless a miracle happens, she will not believe it.
