It was unknown what Mu Liuyue said in a low voice, but Princess Changping and the North Court Official both revealed happy expressions. The North Court Official immediately gave her a thumbs up. "Wonderful! Eldest Miss Mu is truly an intelligent person! "
"Good. Liuyue, after this matter is completed, you will be heavily rewarded!" Princess Changping's eyes were filled with sinister laughter as she immediately ordered the North Court Official to make preparations.
Han Yunxi, this time I will definitely kill you!
Han Yunxi anxiously waited for an entire afternoon, but there was still no news from Mu Qingwu.
At this time, the sky was already dark.
Another day had passed, and tomorrow was the deadline. She almost suspected that Gu Beiyue had already collected the blood sample and was on his way here.
However, it wasn't until dinnertime that a little medicine boy came over with a specially made medicinal soup to ward off the cold. Han Yunxi drank it and knew that it was made by Gu Beiyue. Her heart warmed. This fellow Gu Beiyue was truly a thoughtful person.
"Is there a situation with the young general?" Han Yunxi asked in a low voice.
The little medicine boy shook his head. "Qin Wangfei, your father came over today. After he left, Imperial Physician Gu has been guarding the young general the entire time, not leaving even half a step."
"Han Congan? Did he say anything? " Han Yunxi didn't treat him as a person. She was a bit nervous. Everyone in the capital knew that Han Congan was the empress dowager's dog.
"This little one isn't clear. Esteemed wangfei, quickly drink it while it's hot."
The little medicine boy couldn't stay for too long. As Han Yunxi drank the soup, he said in a low voice, "Divine Physician Han didn't make a diagnosis, so General Mu lost his temper. Imperial Physician Gu signed a life and death agreement before General Mu allowed him to stay."
Hearing this, Han Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know why, but her eyes began to sting.
"Princess Consort, Imperial Physician Gu asked this little one to tell you that he wants you to relax and not worry too much. He wants you to take care of yourself and wait for him to come."
In Han Yunxi's mind, Gu Beiyue's gentle and watery eyes unconsciously appeared. Her anxious and fretful heart inexplicably calmed down. Gu Beiyue, will you come tonight?
How could Han Yunxi fall asleep that night?
It was already the middle of the night, but her eyes were still wide open. She firmly believed that her judgment wasn't wrong. Tonight or tomorrow, in one night or one day, her and Mu Qingwu's fate would be judged.
Gu Beiyue was their only hope. They could only hope that nothing would happen to Gu Beiyue.
Han Yunxi waited and waited. Finally, when the sky was hazy and bright, there was movement outside the cell. She could hear that the footsteps were very urgent.
In the dim light, Han Yunxi was not sure who it was. Although she was very excited, she suppressed it and silently waited.
Very soon, the light shined in and she saw that it really was Gu Beiyue!
Han Yunxi was filled with joy and immediately jumped down from the stove. Seeing that there were jailers here, she did not dare make a sound.
Gu Beiyue had secretly bribed the jailers to have them leave. This was not the time to visit the prisoners, so Gu Beiyue must have spent quite a bit of money.
When the jailers left, Gu Beiyue was even more anxious than Han Yunxi, "Quickly, the thing you wanted is here!"
"The poison has erupted?" Han Yunxi said in a low voice.
"Yes, you're right. He has a high fever and his lips and tongue are purple. I took a blood sample and immediately came over. General Mu finally believes us and is personally guarding him. "
Gu Beiyue handed the gold needle to Han Yunxi. Although he did not know much about poisons, from Mu Qingwu's pulse and complexion, the poison must be highly toxic. Everyone knew that when facing highly toxic poisons, it was a race against time. He had to immediately take the antidote and go back to save him. Otherwise, the hard work of the past few days would be wasted.
Han Yunxi did not ask any more questions. She turned around and put the gold needle into the detoxification system for examination. The result scared her so much that she almost fell. "It's Ten-Thousand Snake Poison!"
"Ten-Thousand Snake Poison?" Gu Beiyue had never heard of it.
"It's a mixture of the ten most poisonous snake venoms in the world. The toxicity of this poison is very deep, but once it erupts, it will definitely kill within two hours!"
As Han Yunxi spoke, she did not bother to explain too much. She immediately took out a few packets of medicine from the detoxification system, "Here, this medicine can only temporarily slow down the speed of the poison erupting. Let him take the medicine first, then go and prepare the antidote. You must prepare the antidote within four hours and let him take it, otherwise …"
Han Yunxi did not bother to say "otherwise". She hurriedly told Gu Beiyue the prescription of the antidote and let him go.
In fact, if she could get out, she could directly use acupuncture to detoxify the poison. However, she could not get out, so she could only use medicine to neutralize the poison. Fortunately, it was not difficult for Gu Beiyue to find the medicine.
One had to know that it would take some time to return from the Supreme Court to the general. It would also take time to brew the medicine. It was really a race against time.
If they won, everything would be fine.
If they lost, they would lose two lives!
Gu Beiyue was already anxious. When he heard Han Yunxi's words, he took the medicine and wanted to leave without saying goodbye.
But!
Unexpectedly, Gu Beiyue had only taken a few steps when the North Court Official personally led a few jailers to surround him, "Imperial Physician Gu, so you were here in the middle of the night. No wonder this official couldn't find you in the estate."
Gu Beiyue was burning with anxiety, but he remained calm on the surface, "May I know why the North Court Official is looking for this one?"
Unexpectedly, the North Court Official waved his hand, and a few jailers stepped forward to capture Gu Beiyue.
"North Court Official He Ze, what is the meaning of this?" Gu Beiyue questioned Coldly.
"This official suspects that you and Han Yunxi colluded in the misdiagnosis of Mu Qingwu's murder. Right now, you are being detained to await trial," the North Court Official said loudly.
At this moment, Han Yunxi also heard this from the prison. She was so angry that she kicked the wall. These people couldn't be doing this on purpose, right?
"North Court Official, who gave you this authority? You dare to lock up the Emperor's personal imperial physician?" Gu Beiyue was calm, but his eyes were cold.
He Ze raised his hands and bowed to the sky, "Empress Dowager!"
"Where's the evidence? North Court Official He Ze, General Mu already believes me. I am going back to treat the Young General's poison now. If you dare to lock me up, you will have to bear the consequences! " Finally, the usually gentle Gu Beiyue was angry. One had to know that Mu Qingwu and Han Yunxi's lives were in his hands!
"Hehe, nonsense. Divine Physician Han has already asked the medical academy's board of directors for a diagnosis. You should give up!" The North Court Official snorted.
"Let me go! You will cause the Young General's death! "
"I want to see the Emperor!"
"North Court Official He Ze, the Emperor's health has not been good recently. I must be on standby at any time. Think carefully!"
… …
Gu Beiyue kept struggling. Unfortunately, he was only a physician and didn't have the strength to truss up a chicken. How could he resist the burly jailers? Soon, his voice disappeared in the gloomy corridor.
Princess Changping had long since urged the North Court Official to arrest him. She said that if Imperial Father wanted to punish him, she would bear the consequences alone. The North Court Official was also apprehensive of Gu Beiyue's identity, so he didn't dare to make a move. He had just found out that the Emperor's health had been good these past few days and had also approved Gu Beiyue's request for leave. Thus, he silently arrested him in the middle of the night.
"Someone come, report to the princess that the matter has been taken care of without alerting anyone." The North Court Official yawned as he spoke, a sharp light flashing through his eyes. He waved his hand, indicating for everyone to withdraw.
Soon, everyone had left and the flames had also retreated.
Han Yunxi finally couldn't take it anymore and fiercely kicked the iron bars. She couldn't use words to express her anger and anxiety. She continuously took deep breaths and paced back and forth.
There were only two hours left. What should she do in two hours?!
When General Mu saw that Gu Beiyue hadn't returned, would he discover something strange? Would he come to look for him? When would he come? Would it be too late to wait for General Mu to send someone to bring the medicine back?
Without Gu Beiyue, would the ingredients in the prescription be found in such a short time?
What if General Mu thought that Gu Beiyue had tricked him? What would she do then?
Calmness was the most basic quality of a physician. Even in the face of death, a physician would remain calm. However, at this very moment, Han Yunxi was extremely irritable!
She couldn't afford to wait, nor could she afford to gamble.
Time slowly passed. Han Yunxi gripped the iron bars with both hands, her heart beating faster and faster. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her as a trapped beast.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed and landed in front of her.
Han Yunxi was stunned at first. Seeing the black-clothed masked man holding a broadsword, she hurriedly retreated, "Who are you?"
"Han Yunxi, someone paid to get you out. Stop talking nonsense and come with me." The black-clothed man said. With a slash of his broadsword, he cut the lock and rushed in.
Assassin? Prison break?
Her enemies wished that she would never leave the prison. How could they spend money to break her out?
Recalling the scene in the prison this morning, Han Yunxi more or less guessed something strange. Presumably, after she was rescued, the next day she would be accused of absconding.
Just as she was about to hide, the black-clothed man had already grabbed her shoulder. Han Yunxi wanted to struggle and shout, but suddenly she stopped moving.
Opportunity!
The opportunity to leave the prison to save people has come, hasn't it?
"Hero, don't kill me. I beg you, don't kill me! I'm willing to go with you. "Han Yunxi pretended to be afraid.
"As long as you obediently follow me, I promise I won't kill you." The black-clothed assassin was eager for Han Yunxi to be obedient.
Han Yunxi nodded again and again. Thus, the black-clothed assassin took her out of the prison cell and went to the main gate.
Along the way, Han Yunxi saw many prison guards lying on the ground. There were also several prison guards. It seemed that the black-clothed assassin really killed his way here.
When they went out of the main gate, they met several prison guards. The black-clothed assassin's martial arts was strong and incomparably brave. He stabbed them one by one and brought Han Yunxi out of the main gate.
A doctor's eyes were the sharpest of all, able to discern even the smallest details. Han Yunxi had her suspicions before, but now she was certain that the black-robed assassin was one of the North Court Official's men. He'd purposely lured her out to frame her with the crime of absconding!
The black-clothed assassin did not stop after they went out of the main gate. He took Han Yunxi and ran a distance away from the main gate. They stopped in a small alley.
"Where are you taking me?" Han Yunxi timidly asked.
The black-clothed assassin sneered, "Qin Wangfei, the person who hired me wants to kill you. However, you must die outside the prison. Hehe, I'm sorry."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his large knife and chopped towards Han Yunxi's neck. Han Yunxi hastily dodged.
The black-clothed assassin disdainfully laughed, "The sky is about to brighten. Qin Wangfei, this little one will send you on your way!"
However, just as he raised his large knife, who knew that his hand would suddenly cramp. In an instant, he lost all his strength and the large knife fell to the ground with a "clang". At the same time, his other hand and the bones in both his legs suddenly spasmed. Following that, he lost all his strength and his entire body collapsed on the ground.
"You ….. you ….." The black-clothed assassin powerlessly laid on the ground. He was so shocked that he could not speak.
