Yan Mingzhu was stunned, and in this gap, Zhuang Fei forcibly pulled their hands apart. Ji Jingxue wanted to say something, but Qi Jue's condition was critical, so he could only whisper: "Miss Yan,
Your Highness will be fine, just take care of yourself."
After saying that, he carried Qi Jue on his back and hurriedly escorted Qi Jue to the bedroom for treatment.
"You dare to harm the prince, and you will be punished with an additional penalty. Someone will come, tie this girl up, and escort her to Dali Temple to be punished!"
Emperor Zhao gave an order not to give Mingtai and the others a chance to plead for mercy. After issuing the order, he hurried to the bedroom.
Queen Pei showed a sinister smile of success, and in an instant she regained her fake nervousness. She also went to the bedroom together, but she was there to make sure whether Qi Jue would be poisoned.
When the Imperial Guards were about to attack Yan Mingzhu, Ming Xingjian and Ming Zizhan stood in front of her without hesitation, preventing the Imperial Guards from harming her.
"Ms. Ming, please get out of the way and don't interfere with our arrest of the traitors. This is His Majesty's decree. Anyone who resists will be disobeying the decree, akin to conspiracy, and will be killed without mercy!"
Just as Ming Xingjian was about to say something, Yan Mingzhu held his shoulders and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. The poison on Your Highness's body is not like a simple poison. I'm not."
There is no time to diagnose what kind of toxin it is,
Please keep an eye on it for me. If His Highness is in danger of his life, no matter what method you use, you must bring him to see me."
But at this moment, how could Ming Xingjian care about the safety of others, "He has a group of imperial doctors to detoxify him, but Miss Yan, you are different. I will never let you be taken away by people from Dali Temple. There is
Dragon pond and tiger den, you will die!"
"But if you block here right now, you are openly disobeying the will. Not only will you not be able to save me, but you will also be involved. Only if you are in peace can you save me and do as I say.
First of all, the power to investigate and handle this case must not fall into the hands of others, especially Queen Pei and others. Go check everything that His Highness has come into contact with today, especially at this banquet. The poison should have been administered during the banquet.
,
Secondly, although the assassin is dead, she must have been bribed by someone to use her as a breakthrough. Since a person has lived in this world, even if she dies, she will definitely leave traces."
After finishing speaking, Yan Mingzhu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Finally, pay attention to safety. There will be interference behind the scenes. In everything, your own safety is the top priority."
Ming Xingjian looked deeply into Yan Mingzhu's eyes and said, "I won't let anything happen to you."
Yan Mingzhu smiled and was taken away by the imperial army while negotiating.
Mingyu was extremely anxious, "Brother, we can't let Zhuzhu go to Dali Temple, she will die!"
"Father, please stabilize the situation here. Don't let anyone touch the things at the banquet, and don't let anyone take away the assassin's body. Maybe there will be clues on the body. I'll go check on His Highness King Dingbei.
Condition."
Originally, Qi Jue stepped forward and took the responsibility to get Emperor Zhao to relent and release the power of censorship. But now that Qi Jue was poisoned and dying, it would be difficult to get Emperor Zhao to relent.
In the dormitory, a group of imperial doctors were treating Qi Jue. Qi Jue's body was covered in blood. Even the basin had to be replaced several times. The entire dormitory was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Concubine Zhuang was about to faint from crying, and Emperor Zhao's face became even more ugly, "How is Jue'er's condition? What kind of poison did she get? Why did she vomit so much blood?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it seems that the poison in Your Highness's body is not as simple as ordinary poison. Wei Chen and others have never seen it before, and the poison is released very quickly. Wei Chen is afraid... I'm afraid there is nothing we can do..."
Before she could finish her words, Concubine Zhuang rushed up and grabbed the imperial doctor by the collar, "If you can't save my son, I want all of you to be buried with him!"
"Concubine Zhuang, please spare your life! Concubine Zhuang, please spare your life!"
Everyone in the hall knelt down and lay on the ground, not even daring to breathe.
Fortunately, Aunt Ren was still sensible and thought of someone, "Mother, the prince's Mr. Kong, your highness was poisoned many years ago. It was this Mr. Kong who detoxified your highness. Maybe he has a way to save your highness."
Concubine Zhuang regained some sense and said, "Yes, hurry up, go and bring that Mr. Kong over!"
Feiyun and Feiyu went to pick them up at the same time and brought Kong Ci to the palace as quickly as possible.
"Mr. Kong, save my son quickly, you can definitely save him, right?"
Kong Ci had a stern look on his face, and without saying anything else, he checked Qi Jue's pulse. He frowned, and when he noticed something was wrong, he took out a dagger and cut Qi Jue's heart an inch below.
"Your Highness is possessed by the Heart-Eating Gu, which is an extremely ferocious poison. Once it enters a person's body, it will quickly burrow into the heart, and then eat the whole heart inch by inch until the last moment, when the poison is taken.
Only then will they die.”
When Concubine Zhuang heard this, her eyes darkened and she fainted.
"Empress!"
Emperor Zhao said in a deep voice: "First carry my beloved concubine to the outer hall. Duke Zhuang, please take good care of my beloved concubine. Mr. Kong, is there any way to cure this heart-eating poison? As long as I can cure it, I can do whatever you need.
Satisfy you!”
"Everyone get out."
Kong Ci didn't even look at Emperor Zhao, and just said something coldly. Emperor Zhao thought his attitude was a bit strange, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment, so he asked everyone to leave.
"You go out too."
When Kong Ci saw that Emperor Zhao was still there, the cold light in his eyes became even worse.
Although Emperor Zhao was a little dissatisfied with Kong Ci's attitude, after all, he was the only one who could save Qi Jue now, so he no longer argued with him.
"If Mr. Kong can save Xiaojiu's life, I will definitely reward you heavily, so thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kong."
After those people had left, Kong Ci asked in a low voice: "How did His Highness get poisoned, and how did you serve His Highness?"
"It was me who neglected our duty, sir, please punish me!"
Kong Ci had already taken out the needle pack as he spoke, "This heart-eating Gu comes from the Seven Star Sect. You go there immediately. You must get the antidote at any cost!"
"yes!"
Before getting the antidote, Kong Ci must first control the spread of the Gu worms in Qi Jue's body.
Quickly taking out the needles, each needle landed on a large acupuncture point. With a stick of incense, he finally managed to control the Gu insect, but the control time was very short. The Gu insect may break through the restriction at any time and return to the heart.
Directional drill.
After temporarily controlling the Gu worm, Qi Jue's breathing eased, and he suddenly opened his eyes, "Zhu Zhu..."
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
After Qi Jue saw clearly that the person in front of him was Kong Ci, he immediately wanted to sit up. Kong Ci quickly held him down and said, "Your Highness, the Gu worm in your body is very unstable, don't move it!"
"Where is Zhuzhu? Where is she?"
Qi Jue didn't pay attention to the poisonous insects in his body at all, and asked about Yan Mingzhu's whereabouts as soon as he woke up.
Kong Ci sighed in his heart. He didn't want to tell Qi Jue the truth. After all, his current situation was more dangerous. But after Qi Jue discovered that there was no Yan Mingzhu around, he actually opened the brocade quilt and wanted to get out of bed to personally
Go find it.
"Your Highness, Miss Yan was taken away by people from Dali Temple, but don't worry, she is not in danger for the time being. The poison in your body will kill you at any time. You must not move until you find the antidote!
