"A'man, something happened to our father. I'll go back first and come see you later." Murong Kai turned around and said to the person inside the door, then left in a hurry. However, he had just taken a few steps forward when the door behind him opened.
"Murong Kai, if we can't find out what kind of poison he has been exposed to, the liquid medicine in the Ruyi bottle can temporarily relieve the toxicity." Ah Man's voice was also filled with anxiety.
Murong Kai looked down at the Ruyi Bottle in his hand, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
The Ruyi Bottle is the national treasure of Bei'an. Just carrying it is enough to shock people, not to mention the medicine inside. What kind of treasure it must be. However, Ah Man actually told him how to use it easily.
Is she willing to give up this Ruyi Bottle to save her father
"Silly boy, nothing is more important than human life, go quickly." Ah Man looked at the stunned Murong Kai and said with a faint smile. After she finished speaking, she turned around and continued to lie on the bed. But what she was thinking in her heart was that Murong Kai was a pitiful man. If he had someone to protect and love him, how could he consider whether it was worth it or not and whether he should do it first when encountering a situation.
Ah Man didn't feel at all that her focus was wrong. She was not surprised at all by such a sensational thing as the king of a country being poisoned.
Whether it was Ah Man or people who were familiar with the emperor, they all knew that there was only one person who could have poisoned Murong Zheng without any precautions, and that was Concubine Dong.
When Murong Kai was pushed to Murong Zheng's bedroom, the pale-faced queen was standing at the palace gate. Beside her stood his father's concubines, and in front of her knelt his brothers and sisters.
"Mother." Murong Kai called softly, his eyes fixed on the queen. The queen looked at him upon hearing his words and forced a desolate smile on her face.
"Mother, you just woke up. Your health is the most important thing. Go and rest first. My brother and other brothers are here."
Murong Kai could see that the Queen was struggling to hold on, and he was afraid that his mother would faint again before his father woke up.
"No need, mother can still hold on." The queen patted Murong Kai's shoulder with relief and said softly.
After saying this, the queen continued to look inside the door. The worry and affection in her eyes made Murong Kai feel very distressed.
Seeing that Murong Kai had been following the Queen's gaze since he arrived, Concubine Jin felt a little uncomfortable. She slowly walked to Murong Kai and asked in a low voice: "What were you doing? Why did you come so late?"
"I had something to deal with, so I'm late." Murong Kai said in a low voice, and pushed the wheelchair in the direction of his brothers and sisters.
Concubine Jin looked at Murong Kai's back and wanted to say something, but in the end, the words did not come out.
An imperial physician came out of the palace, and the queen and others gathered around him anxiously. Under everyone's gaze, the imperial physician slowly spoke: "Your servants are incompetent and cannot find out what poison the emperor has been poisoned with, so..."
After hearing the news, everyone was stunned. Everyone present knew, "If we can't find out what kind of poison it is, then Your Majesty, how long do we have?"
The Queen's voice was not loud, and even sounded a little weak and tired, but it rang like thunder in the hearts of everyone present.
The imperial physician looked at the queen, not daring to answer for a long time. If he couldn't even determine what poison she had been poisoned with, how could he determine how long she would live...
The silence of the imperial physician shattered everyone's hopes. After a moment's silence, a concubine said to the queen, "Queen, if the emperor really..., you have to discuss the matter of appointing a crown prince with the ministers."
If something really happens to the emperor, this is the only way to go. Now that it has been brought up, everyone's heart trembles. After all, this matter not only concerns the future of the Great Zhou, but also the future lives of this group of people.
