Chapter 172 Becoming a Hot Toy
After the words fell, the room was silent for a moment.
Emperor Zhaocheng's face changed slightly, and he suddenly looked at Mu Cang: "You are also poisoned?"
Mu Cang lowered his eyes and said nothing.
As for why he used "also", Yan Li and Ming Qi knew it well.
"Why don't you call the imperial physician to see?"
"This poison is tricky and difficult to cure." Mu Cang's tone was as cold as snow, "If the imperial physician can't cure it, people will make random guesses."
A poison that even the imperial physician can't cure?
Emperor Zhaocheng's heart was slightly confused for a moment, and he began to think deeply at this time. If Mu Cang really had something wrong, the border would be afraid...
"I often go out these days, and I have been asking people to find a miracle doctor who can cure the poison." Yan Li said in a light tone, "Last month, the prince's poison broke out once. It was so painful that he wanted to die. Only by using a sharp weapon to self-mutilate can the pain be relieved."
Emperor Zhaocheng's hands behind his back tightened little by little, and he looked at Mu Cang with complicated eyes.
"Since that day, I have secretly started looking for a doctor with superb medical skills." Yan Li said, pointing at Ming Qi without changing his expression, "I didn't expect to meet Master Feng today. He said he was from the Southern Country."
Southern Country?
Emperor Zhaocheng was startled again and looked at Mingqi in surprise: "Are you from the South?"
"Yes." Mingqi nodded, "This time, in addition to detoxifying the Ninth Prince, I also brought a message."
Emperor Zhaocheng frowned, suppressed his emotions, and tried to maintain the majesty of the emperor: "What news?" Tianlai Novel Network
Mingqi said calmly: "The South Country intends to marry the Mu Country and ask for the Nanyang Princess."
Emperor Zhaocheng's face changed, and his majesty cracked instantly: "Ask for the Nanyang Princess?"
"Yes."
Emperor Zhaocheng frowned a little: "As far as I know, the South Country is ruled by the empress."
"Indeed." Mingqi looked calm, and it didn't look like he was talking nonsense at all, "But the marriage does not have to be personally married by your majesty. In addition to the empress, there are several princes in the South Country who are particularly outstanding."
Emperor Zhaocheng subconsciously turned his head to look at Mu Cang, but saw that Mu Cang frowned, and his expression was already indifferent and unhappy.
Emperor Zhaocheng was in a dilemma. What on earth was going on?
The Kingdom of Jin wanted a marriage alliance, and the Kingdom of Nan also wanted a marriage alliance.
When did Princess Nanyang of the Kingdom of Mu become so popular?
Emperor Zhaocheng turned his head inadvertently and saw the crowd outside the Liuli Courtyard through the window. Then he remembered another important thing.
He looked at Mingqi, and his tone returned to calm and majestic: "Did you hurt Madam Jiang?"
"Madam Jiang? That unreasonable shrew?" Mingqi raised his eyebrows and then admitted straightforwardly, "I am obviously a doctor, but she just held me and refused to let go, saying that I was a wild man. I couldn't stand this humiliation, so I accidentally hurt her."
Emperor Zhaocheng was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Mu Cang again.
With her fiancé here, Yan Li really couldn't bring back the so-called "wild man".
However, Emperor Zhaocheng was puzzled: "Mu Cang came to the Jiang family, but they didn't know?"
Yan Li's voice was as cold as water: "Recently, because Jiang Jingyue became the idle princess, the atmosphere in the Jiang family was relatively depressed. In addition, everyone was idle and stayed in their own courtyard most of the time, so I didn't see the Ninth Prince in my courtyard."
When Emperor Zhaocheng heard this, his expression was slightly cold.
Jiang Jingyue became the idle princess because he abolished the prince.
The Jiang family was idle because they were demoted and punished. Jiang Tingshi lost his military position and Jiang Tingyan lost the opportunity to take the imperial examination.
There was also the matter of the poisonous snake biting two maids to death a few days ago. Although no action has been taken so far, Ye Qi and the Dali Temple have found out the general situation.
As expected, the culprit should be Jiang Jingyue, oh, and the Eighth Princess, that evil beast.
So when this matter was mentioned at this time, Emperor Zhaocheng was not in a good mood.
As for the Ninth Prince coming to see Yan Li, the Jiang family didn't know, which seemed less important compared to it.
Emperor Zhaocheng suppressed his suspicion and asked calmly, "What's the matter with the eldest son of the Gu family?"
"I don't like crowded places. In order to avoid being seen, I made an appointment with Princess Nanyang to meet at Zhuxi Teahouse to ask her about the symptoms of the poisoning of the Ninth Prince." Mingqi said casually, "Unexpectedly, before Princess Nanyang and I had a few words, the young master of the Gu family surrounded the teahouse with a large group of people, saying that we had a private meeting and used this to threaten Princess Nanyang."
Emperor Zhaocheng's face sank. There was such a thing?
Mingqi's face was gentle and elegant, and he seemed to have a convincing power: "Princess Nanyang said that the Ninth Prince was in an emergency and his life might be in danger if he had an attack. But the young master of the Gu family pestered us and wouldn't let us go. I could only teach him a lesson."
Emperor Zhaocheng turned his head and looked at Yan Li.
"Indeed." Yan Li nodded slowly, "The prince's poison is very dangerous. When I went out to see Master Feng just now, the Ninth Prince had already fallen into a coma. I was anxious to ask Master Feng to come over to check the prince's pulse and detoxify him, but Master Gu stopped us from leaving. In a hurry, Master Feng poisoned him."
Emperor Zhaocheng hummed, not knowing whether he believed it or not: "What kind of poison did Mu Cang get?"
"Gu poison."
"Gu poison?" Emperor Zhaocheng was startled and turned to look at Mu Cang, "How could you get this poison? When did it happen?"
Mu Cang said indifferently: "It's been six years."
Six years?
Emperor Zhaocheng's face changed suddenly, and there was already some anger on his face: "He has been poisoned for six years, but he has never revealed a word?"
"There have been wars in the northern border, and five or six years ago was the time to use people." Yan Li said indifferently, "The Ninth Prince has a lonely and arrogant temper. I think he doesn't want people to know, and he is also worried that the soldiers will worry too much."
Mu Cang didn't say anything, as if he tacitly agreed with this.
Emperor Zhaocheng was in a complicated mood for a while, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Can it be cured?"
"Difficult." Mingqi shook his head, "This poison is extremely tricky, and the emotional fluctuations cannot be too intense, extreme joy, anger, or extreme sadness are not allowed, otherwise it will break out at any time, and it will be painful and even life-threatening."
Emperor Zhaocheng's face became more and more solemn: "Is there no way to detoxify?"
Mingqi was silent for a long time: "There is a way."
"Please speak."
"If there is a virgin woman who is willing to plant the mother Gu and have a husband-wife relationship with the Ninth Prince." Mingqi scratched his nose, "In this way, the mother and child Gu will sense each other, and only If the mother Gu is emotionally stable, the child Gu will be fine. "
Emperor Zhaocheng immediately said: "This is easy to do. I will send someone right away-"
"Your Majesty." Mingqi interrupted him, "There are two key points."
Emperor Zhaocheng paused, then said: "You say."
"First, the second daughter must be willing. She must not be afraid or frightened when planting the mother Gu, otherwise her life may be in danger."
"Second, it is difficult to find people who raise Gu worms in the territory of Mu. The Ninth Prince and this woman need to go to the South in person."
After the voice fell, Emperor Zhaocheng fell silent for a long time.
