"What about you? I'm afraid that Hu Jue will treat you -"
"Don't worry, he is older than my father, and he can't afford to embarrass him if he falls out with a junior like me."
"Besides, he is here to test the prince's truth and will not do anything to me."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded and then lay down. He felt a numb pain in the back of his neck. Before he could figure out the situation, he passed out instantly.
"That old fox is too cunning. If he knows that the prince is already awake, he might cause some trouble."
Therefore, she secretly pricked his Yamen point with a silver needle, causing him to fall into a brief coma.
Outside the door, the sound of someone's footsteps could be heard approaching, and Luo Jiuli quickly put the silver needle into the ancient ring space.
Immediately, the door of the house was pushed open.
An old man who was over 60 years old walked in first. He was leaning on a gold and jade crutch. His face was wrinkled, his long beard was half hanging, his eyes were bright, and he had an air of majesty.
Next to the old man was a woman wearing a light purple gauze skirt, with a faint smile on her beautiful face. Her bright eyes were drooping when she saw Luo Jiuli holding half a bowl of water in his hand.
When I wiped the corners of Jiu Wang's mouth with a wet cloth, there was a hint of coldness.
This woman is none other than Hu Bingyu, the direct granddaughter of Grand Sima Hu Jue and Luo Jiuli's mortal enemy.
Luo Jiuli stood up calmly, put the bowl on the small table, and then gave him a light salute.
"Luo Jiuli, I have met Lord Sima."
Hu Jue moved the crutch on his hand and looked directly at Luo Jiuli, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
"How is your prince's health?"
Luo Jiuli was calm and composed.
"The poison has been cured, but the prince has been deeply poisoned and has not yet woken up."
"Um."
Hu Jue stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and raised his eyelids.
"Miss Luo Er, although she is appreciated by the emperor, she is still a bit young in terms of medical skills."
"Doctor He."
"Lord Sima."
At the door, Doctor He, who had been hiding behind a few people and had not shown up, came out.
Hu Jue introduced.
"This is Dr. He Xiangyan. He has been following the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's chariot is still halfway there. But when he heard that the Ninth Prince was assassinated, he was worried and ordered Dr. He to rush back to Beijing day and night. Since the prince has not woken up from the poisoning, then
Let Dr. He check and treat the prince's pulse."
At the door, when the housekeeper and Qin Yin heard this, they directed their scrutinizing and hostile glances at Dr. He.
Qin Yin and Qin Wu were about to come over, but were stopped by Luo Jiuli's look.
At this time, she, a 'weak woman', was much less of a threat than those two tough guys holding swords.
What's more, she has the emperor's imperial edict and the support of the righteous government.
Even if Hu Jue had a problem with her, he would not dare to hurt her at all.
Luo Jiuli stood by the bed, looking at Dr. He who raised his chin slightly and looked very arrogant. He sneered in his heart but did not move.
It's ridiculous to want to explore the truth of the Nine Kings. How could she let them succeed?
Hu Jue raised his eyebrows, grabbed his crutch, and said in a low and cold voice:
"Luo Jiuli, this is the Queen Mother's decree."
"As an elder, it is reasonable for the Queen Mother to worry about the health of the Nine Kings. What crime should you have committed if you prevented Doctor He from diagnosing the pulse."
Luo Jiuli tilted his head and looked at Hu Jue, his eyes as clear as water.
"Master Sima, my daughter did not stop her. It's just that the emperor's decree requires her to diagnose and treat the Ninth Prince. If she gives up halfway or fails to implement the emperor's decree, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
If you use the Queen Mother's decree to bluff me, then I will use the Emperor's imperial decree to stop you.
Luo Jiuli's only thought was not to let them get close to Xiao Mingxuan. Who knew if Doctor He would secretly murder him.
"Besides, did Dr. He come from a famous family? Or from a Xinglin family? Is his medical level high? Or low? These little girls don't know."
"So, I can't let my daughter give in. This is not only related to the crime of deceiving the emperor, but also the issue of my daughter's face."
"More importantly, my daughter has never heard of Dr. He's name. Please be careful. Lord Sima should be able to understand it, right?"
After Luo Jiuli finished speaking, it was obvious that Hu Jue froze. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Luo Jiuli with cold, scrutinizing, furious, and suspicious eyes for a while.
"Ha! Hahaha! I have served two emperors, and have been dealing with the most famous and powerful ministers of the dynasty for a lifetime. Except for the emperor, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this."
"Luo Jiuli, you are the first."
At the door, the housekeeper was startled when he heard Hu Jue's eyes were filled with needles, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
If Hu Jue came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in his own name, they could still stop him. But now, he came in the name of the Queen Mother. However, the prince claimed to be unconscious, and the second lady ignored her personal safety and stopped him.
.
If at this time, the prince couldn't help it and jumped into a rage, I'm afraid that all the plans would be in vain.
This was the first time since he became the steward of the palace that he had encountered something so difficult and tense that he was helpless and anxious about.
However, the housekeeper didn't know that Luo Jiuli accidentally fell into a coma earlier.
Qin Yin and Qin Wu both grabbed the sabers at their waists. If Hu Jue dared to attack Miss Luo Er, they would not let Miss Luo Er get into trouble even if they risked their lives.
Hu Bingyu's gloomy expression faded slightly, and there was a hint of a good show in her eyes.
She knew her grandfather too well, and her grandfather was angry.
An angry grandfather would always say the cruelest things with a smile.
"Lord Sima."
Luo Jiuli smiled lightly, not afraid of the threat in Hu Jue's mouth, and there was no special meaning in his tone.
"Lord Sima is also my grandfather. What's more, in our Yiguo government, only my mother and I are orphans and widowers in Beijing. My father and elder brother are training in Liyang far away. I am a little child, and I am lacking in words and deeds.
Master Sima probably won’t argue with me, right?”
"Furthermore, Lord Sima is the cornerstone of our Changning Dynasty, the pillars of heaven and the earth. I heard that in the confrontation with foreign enemies back then, during the conversation and laughter, the guns and oars were wiped out. How majestic and majestic. This kind of majesty, Lord Sima should
You won’t use it on a little girl like me.”
Luo Jiuli smiled, his smile was clear, his smile was pure, and his smile was harmless to both humans and animals.
"Ha! Hahaha! With this high hat down, if I am arguing with you, wouldn't it mean that outsiders will talk about me bullying you orphans and widowed mothers?"
This was the second time Hu Jue raised his head and laughed. Compared to the first time, this time his laughter was less murderous, but his eyes were full of scrutiny of Luo Jiuli.
Luo Jiuli, everyone used to say that she was weak and ignorant. Now it seems that she is really weak, or she hides herself and deliberately keeps herself low.
