Chapter 174 Brother, Come and Support Me

When Shen Ningning heard that Mo Lingwei had been poisoned, her face suddenly turned pale.

She didn't even care to think about what this matter had to do with herself, and immediately stretched out her little hand: "Let's go quickly."

Seeing a forbidden soldier behind Commander Lu coming over with a rope, he wanted to tie up the little guy first.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Lu Shaoyuan grabbed Shen Ningning's wrist and dragged her behind him.

"Shao Yuan!" Commander Lu shouted: "Do not interfere with official duties."

Lu Shaoyuan frowned: "Brother, please tell me clearly. What does the prince's poisoning have to do with Shen Ningning? Why should she cooperate with the investigation?"

If the prince was injured because of her, the emperor would definitely not let Shen Ningning go because of his personality.

Commander Lu pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Miss Shen, are you cooperating with a pharmacy in the city and often selling medicinal materials to the shopkeeper named Fang?"

Shen Ningning nodded her head behind Lu Shaoyuan: "Yes."

Commander Lu nodded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a potion, and there was something wrong with Aconitum."

"People from Taiyuan Hospital confessed that all these medicinal materials came from outside the palace and came from your hands."

"His Royal Highness is currently coughing up blood, so I need you to come into the palace and cooperate with my investigation. Do you understand?"

After he finished speaking, Lu Shaoyuan's eyes became frightened.

Shen Ningning looked confused: "The shopkeeper keeps buying aconite from me, and it's fine. How could my brother have a problem with it?"

She was worried about Mo Lingwei's health, so she decided to leave with Commander Lu.

"Brother!" Lu Shaoyuan grabbed Shen Ningning's sleeve again and looked at Commander Lu with pleading eyes.

This time, Commander Lu directly drew his sword and placed it suddenly on Lu Shaoyuan's neck.

Shen Ningning's face was panicked, and she waved her hands quickly: "Lu Shaoyuan, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just going to cooperate with the investigation. You go to Xiangyun Village and tell grandma for me so that she won't worry. But don't tell the truth, just say that I will go to any Let’s have some fun.”

Commander Lu stared at Lu Shaoyuan: "No matter who obstructs official business, they will be punished."

Lu Shaoyuan looked at Shen Ningning with worried eyes. In the end, he could only tell Commander Lu: "Brother, take good care of Shen Ningning. She will never poison the prince."

Commander Lu took back his sword and did not answer.

However, when the imperial guards came forward with ropes to tie up Shen Ningning, Commander Lu said coldly: "No need to tie her up, she is just a child."

On the way into the palace, the little guy was in a state of disbelief.

At the same time, inside Zichen Palace.

Mo Lingwei was leaning on the bedside, vomiting blood.

The eunuch held the copper basin and saw that His Highness the Prince had vomited so much again, his voice trembled anxiously.

"This, this, this, what should I do?"

The emperor was discussing countermeasures with the imperial doctors outside.

Hearing the sound, he quickly entered.

"Ling Wei, my Ling Wei," he was extremely anxious and wiped away the blood on Mo Lingwei's lips regardless of the dirt. "Tell me, father, where does it hurt?"

Mo Lingwei's eyes were dark, and he used all his strength to grab his collar.

The emperor then half-knelt on the footrest: "If you have anything to say, tell my father."

Mo Lingwei endured the severe pain that felt like his internal organs were burning, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be embarrassed, Shen Ningning, this matter has nothing to do with her."

The emperor's eyes became sad and clear.

He lowered his voice: "I just promised you once, why are you still saying it?"

"Father said, it's not to embarrass her, but I suspect that someone is secretly targeting you and wants to blame Shen Ningning. This time I asked her to come into the palace to cooperate with the investigation, so as not to alert the snake."

"Don't worry. I know that this little girl treats you wholeheartedly. How can I embarrass her?"

"The top priority is your body...ah! Ling Wei! The imperial doctor, the imperial doctor is here!"

After hearing the emperor's promise not to harm Shen Ningning, Mo Lingwei stopped holding on and passed out with his face as pale as paper.

The Zichen Palace was already in chaos.

Shen Ningning, who was waiting outside, could not wait to be summoned.

Her fair, palm-sized face was full of worry for Mo Lingwei.

People kept looking forward to it, figures inside were shaking, doctors came in and out from time to time, and everyone had a bad look on their face.

She was very worried, so she raised her head and asked Commander Lu next to her: "Brother Lu, will he really be okay?"

Commander Lu did not dare to answer because, before leaving the palace, he saw the prince vomiting blood.

Listening to the whispers of the imperial doctors, they learned that Mo Lingwei had been poisoned. The poison was stimulated by the medicinal properties of Aconitum, and it came fiercely.

Commander Lu could only say: "His Royal Highness, the auspicious person and heavenly minister, will definitely turn the danger into safety."

However, they waited for half a stick of incense, but the emperor still did not come out to summon them.

It was already dusk, the sun was setting, and the setting sun dyed the golden palace a deep golden color like blood.

When a lone bird flew across the sky and pierced the fiery red light, the eunuch who delivered the message came out.

He held up his hands and apologized to Commander Lu: "The Emperor is currently with His Highness the Crown Prince. I'm afraid I won't be able to summon Miss Shen for a while."

"So, please ask Mr. Lu to take the lead in sending Miss Shen to the prison room for custody."

Commander Lu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, thank you, father-in-law."

The torture room was the place where people were punished in the palace. The punishment inside was so severe and terrifying that those who entered could not come out without peeling off their skin.

Although the emperor only told him to temporarily imprison Shen Ningning there.

However, Commander Lu still said to the person in charge of the violence room: "Miss Shen has not been convicted yet, so no punishment can be used."

The steward nodded and said, "I understand. I will not torture you privately."

Then, Shen Ningning was locked up in a small cell.

She held the railing with her little hands, and her crystal black eyes looked at Commander Lu eagerly.

"Brother Lu, please help me bring this to my brother." She untied the water bag around her waist and handed it over.

Her spiritual spring water can quickly heal external injuries. Even if it is taken internally, minor illnesses and pains can be cured immediately.

Commander Lu thought about it and took it.

Then, he left the torture room.

Shen Ningning stayed in the torture room all night.

The steward occasionally came to take a look. The little guy sat on the ground, holding his knees with his little hands, looking very well-behaved.

When she saw the steward coming, Shen Ningning would raise her head with hope, as if she was eager to hear some good news.

However, the steward just said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet woken up, and the Emperor has not sent any edicts. Miss Shen, please wait a little longer."

Shen Ningning's dark eyes were covered with a layer of gray mist.

She said in a low voice: "Okay, I know..."

That's it.

Until the dawn.

All the doctors were helpless against Mo Lingwei's illness.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed into the Zichen Palace and shouted-

"Your Majesty, General Xie brought the genius doctor into the palace to diagnose the pulse and detoxify His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The emperor was overjoyed: "Quick, welcome him in."

After a while, Xie Mingxu's tall and cold figure appeared at the door.

Although he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he had been on the battlefield several times. He had no youthfulness at all, only a solemn silence.

When he entered, everyone saw that he was still carrying a little old man on his back.

Xie Mingxu bowed to the emperor and said, "I will bring the genius doctor Sima Han to detoxify His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The genius doctor has a way to prove that Shen Ningning is innocent."
