There was still a crowded scene in the Imperial Palace, but the experts were gone and replaced by the best medical officers in the Holy Capital.
"Sir..." Seeing Xu Zun return, Huo Anu immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? The Queen Mother is looking for you to ask you to thoroughly investigate the case?"
"Where is Zhao Yu?" Xu Zun did not answer Huo Anu's question.
"He..." Huo Anu replied, "He followed Hou Zhen and the others to interrogate that Luo Jia! Sir, the facts are obvious. The Xuanmen assassination is definitely more than just an assassination."
"How is Ku Niang?" Xu Zun asked again, "Didn't I ask you to take care of her?"
"Oh, Ani is treating her wounds," Huo Anu gestured to the innermost room, "Ku Niang is seriously injured. Not only is she seriously injured internally and externally, she seems to have been poisoned!"
"Ah?" Xu Zun was greatly worried and quickly walked into the house.
But I saw that Ani and two other medical officers were sent to treat Ku Niang.
"Sir..." Ani, like Huo Anu, the first thing she did when she saw Xu Zun was to ask the Queen Mother for any instructions. Should she ask Xu Zun to investigate the case thoroughly?
"Well, it is indeed poisoned," Ani said, "I know some antidote prescriptions, but I don't know if they are effective against Ku Niang? So... let's ask these doctors for consultation!"
Xu Zun came closer, but saw Ku Niang unconscious on the bed, as motionless as the first time he saw her, and he didn't even know if she was still breathing?
"Doctor," Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "how is she?"
"Well..." one of the medical officers frowned and said, "Her external injuries are not serious, but her internal injuries, tsk tsk..."
"Sir," another medical officer said, "the poison that the heroine suffered is rare in the world, and there is really nothing we can do about it!
"However, judging from the pulse of this heroine, it seems that... the poison is not fully effective, so... we really can't say what is happening to her."
"We want to prescribe her some detoxification and breath-regulating medicine, but her pulse condition is different from ordinary people," the previous medical clinic shook his head and said, "We don't dare to use it indiscriminately!"
"Yes," Ani nodded, "They are right. I also feel that if Ku Niang was not seriously injured, the poison would not be able to kill her, but now it seems that it is hard to say."
"No way?" Xu Zun was anxious, "After talking for a long time, it means that whether Ku Niang will be good or not depends entirely on her luck?"
"This..." None of the three people dared to say anything.
"Sir," Huo Anu advised, "I have heard of the Zhao family's Jin Yidan. It is called the Life-Saving Pill and is very famous in the world.
"Besides, Ku Niang is extremely skilled in martial arts, so she shouldn't be in danger of her life. I don't think she needs to take medicine, she will definitely be able to recover on her own."
"Alas..." Xu Zun squatted in front of Ku Niang and gently touched her forehead.
Ku Niang's hair has grown out a lot, and is black and shiny, but unfortunately the burn scar on her head and the scar on her cheek are still eye-catching.
If not, Ku Niang should be a more beautiful girl.
"Ani," Xu Zun warned, "take good care of Ku Niang and make sure nothing happens to her!"
"Yes!" Ani agreed quickly.
Everyone knew that if Ku Niang hadn't taken action in the main hall of Wanfu Palace, Empress Dowager Lin would have suffered an accident long ago.
So indirectly speaking, Ku Niang saved everyone.
Today, Xu Zun no longer has any doubts about Ani and can safely assign her tasks.
"You two," Xu Zun ordered immediately when he saw that Huo Anu and Ani had not had time to deal with their injuries, "let the doctors treat you immediately without delay."
Indeed, in this brutal fight, Huo Anu and Ani were also seriously injured, especially Ani, whose left arm was almost pierced by a sharp sword.
"Don't worry, sir," Ani nodded and said, "Sister Anu and I are fine. We both have external injuries. We can just treat each other's wounds."
"Sir," Huo Anu pulled Xu Zun aside and asked again, "You haven't told us yet how to deal with this disaster!
"What decree has the Queen Mother given you?"
"You guessed it right," Xu Zun nodded and said, "The Queen Mother asked me to investigate the case thoroughly and find out the mastermind behind it!"
"As expected, but..." Ani whispered, "The mastermind behind this seems to be someone who knows something about the palace!"
"Furthermore, according to the principle of benefit," Huo Anu lowered his voice, "how do I feel that the emperor..."
"Shh!" Xu Zun stopped him quickly and said, "In extraordinary times, please don't talk nonsense!"
"Sir..." Huo Anu said, "Zhao Yu was still saying just now that this is a mess that cannot be cleaned up at all, and whoever takes over will be unlucky.
"But he said again," Huo Anu continued, "You must accept it because the Queen Mother wants to find an outsider to handle this matter.
"If you handle this extremely humane minister well, if you handle it badly, you will take the blame..."
"This guy..." Xu Zun frowned and complained, "How come there are so many words of suffering!"
"But..." Huo Anu said worriedly, "This case involves the royal family. We can't even enter the palace, so how can we investigate?"
"I think what Zhao Yu said is right," Ani said with a worried look on her face, "Although many Xuanmen spies were caught in the military camp, it is impossible for them to know the inside story. Even Luo Jia probably has little hope.
"Moreover," she looked at Xu Zun and said, "I'm even worried that they will take action on me. After all, I used to be a member of Xuanmen, and that female Taoist priest was still my master..."
"Wait..." Xu Zun suddenly thought of something and hurriedly pressed Ani's shoulders and asked, "What did you just say?"
"oh……"
Ani dropped her shoulders in pain, and Xu Zun realized that he had touched the wrong place and quickly bowed to apologize.
"I said, I was worried that they would arrest me for interrogation, but..." Ani thought of something, "Fortunately, this case will be investigated by you, maybe..."
"That's not the sentence," Xu Zun reminded, "it's the one from before. Did you just say you caught the spy?"
"Yes," Ani nodded, "I just heard from people in the inner guard that they caught many poisoners according to the list of Yan Hai, the minister of civil affairs."
"Poisoner..." Xu Zun tasted it carefully and seemed to have caught something.
"Sir," Huo Anu asked, "do you think something is wrong? Those spies must be small figures hired by Xuanmen. How can they know Xuanmen's high-level secrets?"
"No..." Xu Zun said thoughtfully, "What I want to say is not these small characters, Ani." He asked Ani, "Can those drugs that can cause people to go crazy change their traits?
"For example, make it into a cake or some other food?"
"No," Ani waved her hand and said, "Each pill of that kind has a dose and cannot be made into something larger.
"But..." She shook her head and said, "I don't know if Master has improved it again! But as far as I know, it shouldn't be possible, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine."
"In other words," Xu Zun said, "the madness medicine must be delivered to the military camp in the form of pills?"
"That's not necessarily true, right?" Huo Anu said, "Wouldn't it be enough to hide it among rice and vegetables? The important thing is that they have deployed internal agents, and these internal agents are all people in the military camp, so... hey? Hey hey hey...
"
Before Huo Anu finished speaking, he saw Xu Zun running out in a hurry...
