Chapter 148 Poisoning
The palace was solemn. I don’t know if it was because of a change in mood, but Rong Heqing was standing outside the bedroom at this moment, feeling that something was wrong.
But now that things have come to this, she has no way out.
She didn't want to quit either.
Chenyu was right, the enemy was in the dark while they were in the light, and they were passive everywhere.
Instead of being on guard all the time, it is better to use her as bait and force the person out.
"Princess, His Majesty has just woken up and asked you to come in." Du Man came out with a smile.
Rong Heqing nodded, "Thank you for your message, Your Majesty, how is your spirit? Is your health better these days?"
Du Man sighed and said, "You'll know if you go in and take a look, Madam."
Rong Heqing frowned. Does this mean something bad?
She turned her head and gave Tang Yiming a look. Tang Yiming nodded and waited outside the door. Rong Heqing went into the inner hall by herself.
Calming incense was burning in the hall, and bright yellow curtains were hanging down, making it very quiet.
"Your Highness is here to pay his respects to your father. Long live your father."
Rong Heqing stopped in front of the bed and did not move forward rashly.
"He Qing is back?"
The bed curtains were opened, revealing the emperor's haggard face. "Come closer."
Rong Heqing stood up and stepped forward, "Father, are you feeling better today?"
The emperor sighed and shook his head, "It seems that praying is useless."
[999, is there anyone else in this hall? ]
999: [No.]
Rong Heqing felt relieved, stood up and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, and said softly: "If this disease is man-made, praying for blessings is naturally useless."
The emperor frowned, "What do you mean?"
Rong Heqing took out a silver needle from his bosom and said, "I have read a medical book before and know a little bit about medicine. If you trust me, please let me take a drop of your blood."
The emperor was startled and looked at her inquiringly with narrowed eyes.
Although he was haggard due to illness, the emperor's pressure accumulated over the years was still there. Looking at him like this, one could not help but feel timid.
Fortunately, Rong Heqing has experienced many ups and downs, and has been on the brink of life and death every day. She is now completely immune to the pressure from the emperor.
She met the emperor's gaze and said, "I am just watching from here. Father is watching personally, so I can't do anything."
"And did the emperor really never have any doubts? How come you fell ill right after Prince Duan left, and then the Imperial Observatory figured out that I was the destined one, and then sent me away?"
Rong Heqing rolled up his sleeves, revealing his red and swollen forearms.
The emperor's eyes fixed, and he sat up straight, "You are..."
"On my way back, I was ambushed by the Jingwei. The horse pulling the carriage went mad and I got hit when the carriage was bumping around. If it weren't for your help, I would be dead now."
The emperor was startled, then he thought of something and his face changed drastically.
"Father, you have also realized this, right? They deliberately set up a trap to lure me out of Yundu and get rid of me. To this end, they even used your dragon body as bait. They are so cruel!"
Rong Heqing said in a deep voice: "So, Father, no matter when, I will always stand by your side. If anything happens to you, I will be the first to suffer. I will do my best to save you, so please give me a chance!"
The emperor was silent for a while, then took the initiative to extend his hand.
Rong Heqing smiled, leaned over and carefully pierced his middle finger, took a drop of blood on the handkerchief, pretended to smell and look, with his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking.
In fact -
[Quick, Xiao Jiujiu! I got the blood, let's test it quickly! ]
999: [Host, don't worry, I'm testing it! ]
After about two breaths, 999 said happily: [It’s out, it’s out, host, look! ]
A test report suddenly appeared in Rong Heqing's mind.
She couldn't understand the words at the beginning as they were all professional terms and too complicated. She jumped directly to the end to read the conclusion, which was just four big words: mild poisoning.
really!
Rong Heqing asked: [Are the detoxification pills given by Mei Gu effective? ]
999: [It works. That detoxification pill can detoxify many poisons, and it is also effective for the emperor. However, it will take some time to completely remove the toxins, and you must first find the source of the poison and cut off the possibility of ingestion.]
[Can the source of the toxin be detected? ]
Rong Heqing said: [It should be inside the palace, check it first.]
She turned to look at the emperor, who was also looking at her, obviously skeptical about her "medical skills".
Rong Heqing took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said, "Father does show signs of being poisoned. The Imperial Hospital treats poison as an illness, so naturally they can't cure it."
She uncorked the porcelain bottle and took out a pill. "This is an antidote pill. Father, take one and it will work soon."
As she said this, she suddenly realized that there was no way the emperor would eat the food she gave him so unsuspectingly. After thinking about it, she simply scraped a little from under the pill and ate it herself.
The emperor saw that she had no abnormalities after taking the pill, so he took it. However, he did not take it immediately. Instead, he asked, "What if it has no effect?"
"I am willing to be punished then."
"Okay." The emperor put the pill into his mouth, and Rong Heqing immediately picked up the porcelain pot on the bedside table and poured him a bowl of water.
The emperor took a sip, stretched his neck, and swallowed the pill.
Mei Gu's medicine took effect quickly. In less than a cup of tea, his face changed color and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Rong Heqing dodged in time, but a few drops of black blood were still splashed on the hem of her skirt.
She ignored him, raised her hand to pat the emperor on the back, and gave him a bowl of water to rinse his mouth, "How do you feel now, father?"
The emperor took a deep breath and his face became more pale.
He frowned at his hands, slowly clenched his fists, and suddenly he felt strong.
"Is it really poisoned?"
Rong Heqing's heart finally settled down.
At the same time, 999 also gave a conclusion, [It's the bowl, host, there's something wrong with the bowl the emperor drinks from! ]
Rong Heqing: “????”
The emperor was just about to drink some water to calm himself down, but when the water was at his lips, Rong Heqing snatched it away and almost spilled it all over him!
The emperor was startled, "What's wrong?"
Rong Heqing said solemnly: "Father, your food and drink are inspected by someone, so how did the person behind the scenes poison you?"
"What did you think of?"
"I suspect the problem lies with this bowl." Rong Heqing poured out the water, rubbed the edge of the bowl and said, "If the poison is put in the bowl, it will definitely be discovered. What if it is put outside?"
The emperor was shocked and angry, his eyes widened.
"If it's outside, it can't be detected normally, but it will enter as soon as the lips touch it."
Rong Heqing said with emotion: "Besides, the dosage is very small, so it won't work immediately. It will take a long time for the reaction to occur. No wonder the imperial physician couldn't find the cause."
"Oh, good, very good, you have plotted against me." The emperor laughed in anger and raised his hand to smash his favorite set of bowls.
Rong Heqing hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute, Father! If we smash this bowl, doesn't that mean we already know the other party's plan?"
The emperor frowned, "You mean——"
"We might as well use our own trick to lure the snake out of its hole."
Rong Heqing stood up and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear.
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something, his expression changing. After a while, he nodded and said, "I'll do as you say."
