"Wake up! You old thing, wake up for this prince and tell me where the antidote is! " Xiao Yun Su stabbed his sword towards Mother Hui's corpse to vent his anger, but Hui Mo blocked it without batting an eyelid.
Ning Shu whispered, "Your highness, she's already dead. Even if you cut her body to pieces, it'll be useless."
Xiao Yun Su's veins popped out as he furiously roared, "Then what about my mother! You bunch of trash! Where's the imperial physician? Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?! "
Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Wang, who accompanied them, rushed over after hearing the summons. After checking the corpse of the poisonous bees on the ground and the poisoning symptoms of Imperial Concubine Qi and more than a dozen other officials, cold sweat came out from their foreheads. Their faces looked very ugly. They looked at each other and swallowed their saliva. They trembled as they reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness. The poison that Imperial Concubine Qi and the other officials were poisoned with is something unique to the southern border — — Ghost Head Bee. This bee … … is extremely poisonous. I've only seen it a few times in medical books, but I've never seen it before. I really can't cure it … … "
"Then immediately send someone to bring the antidote from the southern border to this prince!"
Cold sweat dripped onto the ground as the imperial physicians prostrated themselves on the ground and stammered, "From the time this poison is poisoned to the time of death, the longest is three to five days, and the shortest is twenty hours. Imperial Concubine Qi's body has been stung by poisonous bees the most, and the poison has already entered her heart meridians … The distance from the southern border to the capital is several thousand li. In addition, the terrain there is dangerous and miasma blocking the way. I'm afraid that by the time the antidote arrives, Imperial Concubine Qi and the other daren will already have … Your Highness, please punish us!"
There were nearly a hundred people who were poisoned and injured. After hearing the imperial physician's words, their faces turned ashen and they let out a dying cry. Some of them were officials from the Supreme Court and Ministry of Justice who were summoned today to help solve the case. Some of them were palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied the Emperor. There were also many Daoists from Xuan Qing Temple who were implicated. Even Lord Qi, who had just lost his daughter, was stung by the poisonous bee due to excessive grief. One of his arms had turned black.
Ning Shu looked at these desperate and empty faces and her heart filled with complex emotions. She let out a light sigh and whispered to Xiahou Qing, "Your highness, the person that my daughter asked you to find, have you found the whereabouts?"
Xiahou Qing stood with his hands behind his back and slightly lowered his head in her direction. He coldly raised his eyebrows, "What? Do you have doubts about my ability?"
As soon as Ning Shu heard this, she knew there was hope. She hurriedly offered flattery and smoothed out this ancestor's anger, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Your highness is smart and capable and extraordinary. How could my daughter dare to have the slightest doubt about Your highness? This journey has been hard on Your highness. I will remember this in my heart."
"Ha," Xiahou Qing sneered in response to her deliberate flattery. He gently played with the finger bone in his hand and casually said, "Jiusi, bring the person over."
Ning Shu smiled and gave her thanks. Then she lowered her head and took a deep breath. Xiahou Qing's clear and indifferent voice sounded in her ear, "What are you afraid of? With me here, even if the sky falls, it won't smash you to death."
Her heart that had been in the air seemed to have found a backer and landed steadily on a slow cloud. Ning Shu couldn't help but curve her lips and raise her head. At this time, her eyes were clear as if they had just been washed by water. Her gaze was steady and powerful.
She stepped forward and curtsied to the Emperor. In a clear voice, she said, "Your Majesty, my daughter knows who has the antidote."
