Chapter 39 The Queen Enters the Prince's Mansion
"Yes, but why should I cure him?"
Zhao Mu smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes, don't cure him. He has killed too many people over the years. Even my master has been tricked by him more than once. This kind of person deserves to be a eunuch!"
Zhou Yue greatly agreed.
How much does this woman hate the prince?
Zhao Mu shook his head: "The prince will probably bring people in later. Again, these assassins were killed by you and have nothing to do with me."
"Don't worry, as long as you can cure Sister Yuwen, I will help you keep the secret."
While the two were talking, rapid footsteps sounded outside.
The two looked at each other and immediately acted like nothing happened.
Soon, the prince rushed in with a group of guards.
Seeing the corpses on the ground, the prince was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Junior sister, sir, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Fortunately, my husband detoxified me so I could kill these bastards."
Zhou Yue said: "Senior Brother, you have to check the Prince's Mansion carefully. You can actually let so many killers come in. There must be a ghost in the mansion."
"Well, Gu has asked He Minzhong to check. Junior sister, the situation was urgent just now. Don't blame senior brother for leaving first."
The prince explained: "Senior brother knew that you were strong, so he left first to fetch reinforcements. But as soon as the reinforcements arrived, senior brother rushed in."
"What did you say, senior brother? As the crown prince, it is related to the imperial court and the country. How can you be easily involved in danger?"
Zhou Yue said sternly: "Don't worry, we are all fine. Sister Yuwen also fell asleep in there. Just give her the medicine later and she will be fine."
"Well, Gu has already ordered someone to prepare the medicine. You can take care of your sister here first. If you have anything to say, please tell your husband."
After the prince comforted Zhou Yue, he took Zhao Mu away and returned to the room where Zhao Mu had been living.
At this time, his identity has been exposed, so he doesn't care whether Zhao Mumeng is blindfolded or not.
He looked ugly and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, the poison in Gu Zhong has been cured by the doctor in the palace, but for some reason, Gu's lower abdomen has become very cold as before, but there is something wrong with the treatment?"
"Your Highness, please let me check your veins."
"good."
Zhao Mu pinched the prince's wrist and pretended to diagnose and treat him carefully.
After a while, he sighed: "Hey, something went wrong indeed."
"What's going on?" The prince asked anxiously.
"Your Highness, although the three-foot-long red is not a fatal poison, it has reacted with the medicine I gave to Your Highness."
"In this way, although His Highness's illness can eventually be cured, it may take longer."
"how long?"
"I'm afraid it will take more than ten or twenty years. After all, the reaction of the drug has further eroded His Highness's body, so..."
"Is there any solution?"
"There is only one way now. Let me look at the piece of jade that His Highness mentioned and determine its nature. Then I can research a new prescription. Otherwise, Your Highness can only treat it slowly."
"Damn assassin, Gu will never let go of the person behind it."
The prince gnashed his teeth angrily and looked ferocious as if he wanted to kill someone.
But the matter has come to this, and he has no other better choice.
So he could only say: "I will find a way to get that piece of jade back as soon as possible. As for the treatment, I have to leave it to sir."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best."
"Okay, Mr. Guxin."
After the prince finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Zhao Mu smiled, stood up and made himself a pot of tea, then tasted it leisurely alone.
…
Time passes day by day.
Half a month later, news suddenly came from the palace.
The queen, who has not left the palace for many years, will go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple outside the city to offer incense and pray for blessings.
However, it is not a trivial matter for the queen to leave the palace. Wherever Luan Jia goes, she must be well prepared in advance.
So the court was busy for another half month before the queen's chariot really left the city and headed for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
But not long after Queen Luanjia left the city, a mysterious woman quietly entered the Prince's Mansion under the escort of her entourage.
Everything was calm and didn't attract anyone's attention.
Zhao Mu was drinking tea in his room, when suddenly He Minzhong's voice came from outside: "Sir, the prince has called you to see an honored guest. Please bring your medicine box."
"alright, please wait!"
Zhao Mu packed up and went out with the medicine box.
The two of them walked forward, and after a while they came to a rockery.
He Minzhong pressed a stone, and the rockery split open in the middle, revealing a portal.
"Sir, please!"
"good."
The two entered the portal, walked through a long secret passage, and finally entered a secret room.
At this time, the prince was in the secret room, talking to a woman covered in white gauze.
Although he couldn't see his face, Zhao Mu recognized at a glance that this woman was the current queen.
"I have met His Highness."
Zhao Mu handed over his hand.
"Sir is here."
The prince did not reveal the identity of the queen, but just smiled and said: "I invite you to come here today because I want you to diagnose and treat this noble lady. Please forgive me, sir."
"Your Highness, you're welcome. It's a doctor's duty to treat illnesses and save people. It's no trouble."
Zhao Mu walked over and said, "Madam, please extend your hand and let me check your pulse."
"good."
The queen stretched out her hand.
The secret room became quiet. The prince and the queen didn't speak. They just looked at Zhao Mu and waited for the result.
Zhao Mu's diagnosis and treatment took a long time this time, and he frowned from time to time, which made the two of them feel anxious.
After a while, Zhao Mu stopped and pondered.
"Sir, how's it going?"
The prince asked, a little out of breath.
"This lady, like His Highness, was corroded by that weird aura, causing physical problems. However, the degree of erosion by the Madam is far more than that of His Highness. It can even be said that it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow."
"Sir, do you have any cure?" the prince asked again.
"It can be cured, but I'm afraid it will take longer than your Highness, and the treatment effect won't be very good."
Zhao Mu looked at the Queen: "Madam, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. With my medical skills, I can only help Madam suppress the erosion of the aura temporarily, but the time will not exceed two years at most, unless..."
"Unless what?" The queen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I actually told Your Highness that if you want to completely eradicate that weird smell, you must let me study its source and know its nature before you can accurately prepare a prescription. So..."
"If you really see that piece of jade, how sure are you that you can cure me and the prince?"
"I'm 90% sure of curing His Highness, but Madam, I'm 60% sure!"
"So low?" The prince was a little dissatisfied.
Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "Your Highness, that kind of aura is really weird. After all, the degree of erosion on you is small and it is easier to cure, but the erosion on my wife is too serious."
"Based on Madam's physical condition, no one in our Jin Dynasty dares to say that she is 100% sure of being cured. What's more, I haven't seen that piece of jade before. I don't know its nature, so it's better to be safe."
The queen and the prince both understood what Zhao Mu meant.
This means that if he can really see the demon blood jade, he will have greater confidence in curing the queen.
The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, the demon blood jade is on my body. Let me show it to you sir."
