Murong Wanru's words infuriated General Mu, who laughed coldly. "She really wouldn't mess around, heheh! Someone come, take Han Yunxi away! "
Han Yunxi was willing to go with him to begin with, so there was no need for anyone to take her. She was about to explain when Murong Wanru pulled her behind her and said sternly, "General Mu, although Grand Concubine Yi and the Duke of Qin aren't here, this isn't a place for you to act as you please!"
These words were a reminder to General Mu that with the Duke of Qin's two Buddhas absent, General Mu could act as he pleased.
General Mu personally stepped forward to pull Murong Wanru aside and grab Han Yunxi's hand.
Han Yunxi took advantage of the situation to shake him off and said fiercely, "Enough, I said I'd go with you. Let's go! What are you dawdling for? "
General Mu gave a start, but quickly recovered his wits. "Then let's go!"
Before leaving, Han Yunxi gave Murong Wanru a meaningful look, but the latter actually chased her all the way to the gates. "Sister-in-law, I don't know when mufei and the Duke of Qin will come back, but don't worry. As soon as they do, I'll definitely tell on them for you."
Hearing this, General Mu understood that no one could save Han Yunxi now!
Heheh, Han Yunxi, you have to take responsibility for this matter to the end!
Han Yunxi didn't want to hear Murong Wanru's voice anymore. It hurt her ears. If she had the chance, the first thing she'd do was poison that white lotus's mouth mute!
Soon enough, they arrived at the general's estate. Han Yunxi was thinking the entire way, but she couldn't figure out where the problem lay. By the time they reached the general's estate, she was still certain she hadn't made a mistake.
Inside the room, Mu Qingwu's face was flushed red, his lips unnaturally red. Han Yunxi could tell at a glance that his fever hadn't subsided.
She sat by the bed to take his pulse, her delicate brows knitted in a stern frown that made it hard for anyone to approach.
Gu Beiyue stood by the side, not daring to make a sound.
After taking his pulse and checking his wound, Han Yunxi asked, "Did you take the medicine according to my prescription?"
"Esteemed Princess Consort, even the decoction was personally made by this lowly official, it can't be wrong." Gu Beiyue was very certain as he brought over the dregs of the decoction for Han Yunxi to examine.
Han Yunxi glanced at it and knew that there was no problem. Moreover, the residual poison in Mu Qingwu's body had been dissolved a lot. Although there was still some remaining, it didn't affect him much.
His wounds were not inflamed either, so he did not have a high fever or become delirious …
Han Yunxi lowered her eyes and took his pulse again. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, so how could this be?
After a while, seeing that Han Yunxi didn't say anything, General Mu flew into a rage, "Han Yunxi, say something!"
Han Yunxi shook her head honestly, "I'm not sure, but I'm sure that the poison in the Major General's body has been almost completely dissolved. It's not because of the poison …"
"I don't care, I want him to wake up now! Now! Immediately! "General Mu was abnormally irritable.
If he hadn't placed his hopes on Han Yunxi, he would probably have killed someone right now.
But who knew that Han Yunxi would be even fiercer than him as she roared back, "I can't diagnose you like this! Be quiet for me! "
General Mu was stunned and then he clenched his fists. Fortunately, Gu Beiyue stopped him in time, "Great General, don't be impatient. It's not too late to listen to what Esteemed Princess Consort has to say."
General Mu still trusted Gu Beiyue. He let out a sigh and then withdrew his fists and retreated to the side.
"Esteemed Princess Consort, if it's not because of the poison, then there must be another lesion?" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
As expected of the head of the Imperial Physician Court, he was very experienced. Han Yunxi looked at him and nodded with certainty, "That's right, I can't confirm what the lesion is right now, but it should have been there a long time ago."
A long time ago?
Gu Beiyue nodded, "This official's diagnosis is the same as Esteemed Princess Consort's. Esteemed Princess Consort, this lesion must have been hidden for a long time. It could be because the Major General's body was too weak these two days and couldn't suppress it, so it broke out. Or, it could have been triggered by the poison. "
When these words came out, Han Yunxi's eyes lit up and she became alert. She looked seriously at Gu Beiyue, "Could it be that there's a second kind of poison in his body … a slow-acting poison!"
If it was any other lesion, with such a high fever, his pulse could be seen. Han Yunxi specialized in detoxification and wasn't strong in other aspects, but Gu Beiyue wasn't weak and couldn't see it.
There was only one possibility. Mu Qingwu was infected with a slow-acting poison. It was hidden too deep and hadn't broken out for a long time, so the detoxification system couldn't detect it.
Han Yunxi activated the detoxification system again, but there was still no prompt. It seemed that the poison hadn't broken out yet and hadn't reached the lowest sensitivity of the detoxification system.
The poison was so low, but it could make the human body repeatedly high. If it really broke out, how terrible would it be?
What kind of poison was this?
She was secretly worried. Although she didn't know what kind of poison it was for the time being, she was sure that it was a slow-acting poison. She had been detoxifying poisons for so many years, but she had only encountered it once.
In the face of this situation, the only way was to watch over the patient at all times. Once the poison was detected, she would immediately find the location and detoxify it. Otherwise, if the poison worsened, Han Yunxi couldn't predict what would happen.
"A slow-acting poison …" Gu Beiyue looked thoughtfully at General Mu.
A slow-acting poison was a very sensitive thing. This meant that someone had been poisoning Mu Qingwu for a long time, and it was very likely that it was someone next to him.
General Mu's furious expression suddenly became dignified. Who dared to poison his precious son among the people around him?
However, now wasn't the time to investigate the poisoning culprit. He anxiously asked, "Han Yunxi, what should we do now?"
"Wait." Han Yunxi was very decisive, "We can only wait for the poison to break out to find a way to detoxify it."
General Mu was half convinced and half doubtful. He looked at Gu Beiyue, but Gu Beiyue nodded, "We'll listen to the princess consort."
Wait …
Han Yunxi estimated that the poison would break out within a day, but who would have thought that the next evening, the detoxification system still couldn't detect any signs of poisoning. She used a silver needle to collect a blood sample, but it also didn't detect anything.
Imperial Physician Gu didn't dare to casually use medicine, so he could only use physical methods to reduce the fever. Fortunately, the fever was repeated, otherwise even if Mu Qingwu woke up, his brain would have been damaged by the fever.
Finally, General Mu, who had been comforted by Gu Beiyue, exploded. He suddenly rushed to the bed and his fist brushed past Han Yunxi's cheek, hitting the pillar.
"Han Yunxi, you lied to this general again! You were the one who poisoned my son! You're courting death! "
Han Yunxi was fearless, her expression serious. "There's no doctor who can predict the exact time. I can only tell you that the poison will show up in three days at the very least. It definitely won't take more than three days! "
"Pei!" General Mu didn't believe her at all.
"If you don't believe me, you can find someone else!" Han Yunxi coldly said. She was very clear that General Mu had asked her to come again because he couldn't find anyone else.
"General Mu, at least we've already figured out the illness. There's no harm in waiting for one or two more days!" Gu Beiyue advised.
General Mu had been taking deep breaths and seemed to be a little hesitant.
But who knew that at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open. Mu Liuyue angrily stood at the door, "Han Yunxi, get out here! You liar, murderer! You won't be able to escape today! "
It was this annoying girl again. Han Yunxi ignored her nonsense. Who knew that a spoiled and domineering voice would suddenly ring out, "Han Yunxi, this princess orders you to come out immediately. If you dare to touch my Qingwu gege again, this princess won't let you off easily!"
This was … Princess Changping!
Mu Qingwu's most devoted pursuer had actually come as well? It seemed like Mu Liuyue had gone to complain.
Han Yunxi worriedly looked towards Gu Beiyue, thinking to herself, "This is bad."
The hesitant General Mu immediately walked out and respectfully bowed. "This humble subject greets Princess Changping. I didn't know the princess would grace us with her presence and didn't go out to meet you. Please forgive me."
"General Mu, forget it. You really do have this princess in your eyes. Qingwu gege got into such a big trouble and you didn't even tell me!" Princess Changping said unhappily.
Under everyone's gazes, Changping walked into the room step by step. Gu Beiyue stood up and respectfully bowed. "Greetings to Your Highness."
Princess Changping arrogantly waved her hand, indicating that he could dispense with the formalities.
Step by step, she walked towards Han Yunxi. However, Han Yunxi just sat there, not moving.
Princess Changping walked closer. As soon as she saw Mu Qingwu, her arrogant gaze softened. However, it immediately turned malicious and ruthless. She suddenly pushed Han Yunxi. "Slut, you actually dared to hurt my Qingwu gege!"
Han Yunxi didn't expect this and almost fell to the ground. She was secretly alarmed. "What a barbaric woman!"
Soon after, Mu Qingwu's younger sister, Mu Liuyue, also followed in. She pointed at Han Yunxi and said, "Princess, it's this woman. That day, she was the one who tried to stab my brother with a dagger. She even tricked my father into thinking that she could cure my brother. In the end … wuwu … my brother still hasn't woken up!"
Princess Changping was furious. "You piece of trash, you actually dared to treat Qingwu gege. What do you take him for? A test subject? Guards, take her away! "
As soon as Princess Changping's words fell, two guards rushed in from outside.
Han Yunxi's gaze was fierce and cold. Immediately, the two guards were so intimidated that they didn't dare to move. She coldly said, "Princess Changping, the patient needs to be left alone. If you have anything to say, please leave."
Princess Changping stared blankly before bursting into laughter. "Did you all hear that? What did she say? Haha, a piece of trash like her dares to say such things! What a joke! "
At this point, her voice suddenly turned cold. "Han Yunxi, Qingwu gege is still unconscious. What right do you have to say such things? You're an assassin, the one who murdered Qingwu gege! Guards, what are you all standing around for? Take Han Yunxi to the justice courts and interrogate her properly! "
Princess Changping was here today to pick a fight!
Han Yunxi was no longer polite. She coldly said, "When has Princess Changping ever helped the justice courts arrest people? This is against the rules. "
Princess Changping was startled. She didn't think that Han Yunxi would dare to speak to her like this. Could it be that the rumors in the palace were true? This cowardly woman had completely changed?
"I … I … if this princess is willing, then it's the justice courts' honor!" Princess Changping boldly replied.
"Then does Princess Changping know that you need evidence to arrest people?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Princess Changping didn't hesitate. "Liuyue and Li Changfeng are witnesses. Qingwu gege is also a witness. Also …"
Gu Beiyue couldn't bear to listen any longer. He hurriedly interrupted, "Princess Changping, I can also testify. The young general is about to recover! You all leave first. If you have anything to say, wait until Qingwu wakes up. "
Princess Changping's eyes narrowed. She coldly said, "Imperial Physician Gu, you're not allowed to interrupt when this princess is speaking!"
