At this moment in Ruyi Palace, Ah Man's arrival brought some brightness to the dull air.
There was no complicated etiquette, no empty greetings. Ah Man rushed into the palace and the first thing he said was: "Give him the antidote quickly."
Everyone in the palace looked at the man dressed as a eunuch standing at the palace gate. He had delicate features, and his not-so-fair face glowed brightly under the light.
She raised her hand high, and in her palm was a small white jade bottle, inside which was the antidote she had mentioned.
Everyone had prepared for the worst, but she suddenly came in and said she had an antidote, and everyone was a little at a loss for a moment.
Especially the Bei'an envoy Qu Jingze who rushed over from outside the palace not long ago. The girl he had been trying to find since he left the palace turned out to be a little eunuch, holding the secret medicine of their Bei'an royal family in his hand.
“You…” Without waiting for the Emperor of the Great Zhou to speak, Qu Jingze’s expression changed first, and the only word left in his mouth was “you”, and there was no further words for a long time.
"Now is not the time to talk nonsense, feed him the medicine quickly." Ah Man naturally knew that Qu Jingze had a lot to say to her, but now was not the right time.
Murong Zheng came back to his senses from the shock and glanced at Ah Man. Finally, he signaled the guards around him to take the antidote.
"Put it in boiling water and boil it for a quarter of an hour. Go quickly." After Ah Man gave the order to the guard, she secretly glanced at Murong Kai lying on the bed.
His face was pale at the moment, and he looked like he was in danger of death.
"Are you sure this is the antidote?" Murong Zheng only then had time to take a closer look at the little eunuch in front of him. She had a clear voice and delicate features, and was obviously a girl.
Murong Zheng's doubts about Ah Man's gender increased sharply, and his inquiring look made Ah Man extremely unhappy.
"If I'm not sure, won't the emperor try it? There's always a chance that it can be cured." Ah Man looked at Murong Zheng with a fatherly look and there was contempt in her eyes.
"How insolent of you." Murong Zheng had been in a high position for many years and could not stand Ah Man's teasing.
"I have invited the envoy from Bei'an, I..." Murong Zheng had already recognized that the little eunuch in front of him was the one who had protected Murong Kai in the hall before. Naturally, he also knew the reason for the disdain in her eyes. He uncontrollably wanted to explain himself, but his words were not convincing.
"The envoy from Bei'an doesn't have the antidote either, right?" Ah Man told Murong Zheng the facts word by word without waiting for him to finish.
This one sentence made Murong Zheng stunned, and Qu Jingze's expression was not much better.
This sentence slapped two people in the face. First, the emperor was unable to find the antidote to cure his son. Second, Qu Jingze could have gotten the antidote, but he didn't get it in the end.
Qu Jingze looked at Ah Man and wanted to ask several times, but he didn't have the courage.
"Ah Man." Qu Jingze couldn't help but speak. Ah Man looked at Qu Jingze and said with a smile: "I am a maid in the Third Prince's palace, not Ah Man."
Qu Jingze looked at Ah Man, wanting to say something several times, but Ah Man didn't even look at him, just stared at Murong Kai lying on the hospital bed.
The antidote was quickly boiled and brought up. Murong Zheng looked at the dark brown antidote in the bowl and hesitated for several times. In the end, he still couldn't make up his mind. He felt that the little girl in front of him was weird and he was worried.
But Murong Kai was on the verge of life and death, he really couldn't delay any longer.
The guard didn't dare to step forward when Murong Zheng spoke, and just stood there holding the medicine bowl.
Just as Ah Man was about to open her mouth to accuse him, Concubine Jin, who was sitting beside the bed, stood up. She reached out and took the medicine bowl from the guard's hand, and was about to give it to Murong Kai without hesitation.
