Chapter 124 Poison Smeared on the Strings
"Miss!" Rejoice screamed, reaching out to support Shangguan Ruoli.
He quickly took out the detoxification pill from Shangguan Ruoli's medicine bag, opened Shangguan Ruoli's mouth and fed it.
"What did you give her to eat?!" Shangguan Tianxiao heard the voice and ran over, holding Rejoice's wrist.
Rejoice said anxiously: "It's an antidote pill! The lady prepared it for fear of something happening, but I didn't expect to actually use it."
Qu Xiaohan's face turned pale, and he quickly tapped Shangguan Ruoli's large acupuncture points with a fan to protect her heart veins.
Shangguan Tianxiao roared: "Please call the imperial doctor! Please call the imperial doctor quickly!"
The next moment, the imperial physician descended from the sky.
Uh! He was brought here by Dongming Ziyu.
The imperial doctor was thrown to the ground, smashed and grinning, but he still felt the pulse as quickly as possible and took out the silver needle to apply the acupuncture.
"It's a deadly poison. Fortunately, I took the antidote pill, otherwise I would have died immediately. Even so, my life would be in danger!"
"Instant death? But just now the little blind man has been sitting here without eating or drinking. How did he get poisoned?" Zheng Shuyue asked her question solemnly.
Rejoice also said: "Everything the eldest lady puts in her mouth has been tested for poison..."
Dongming Ziyu looked stern, as if he remembered something, and ordered in a cold voice: "Find the piano!"
Rejoice picked up Shangguan Ruoli's hand and saw that the ten fingers were indeed black, "The strings are poisonous!"
The poison penetrates through the skin on the fingers, and it takes some time to travel through the blood to the heart and lungs, so the poison is released now.
However, fortunately it penetrated through the skin and the amount was relatively small, otherwise Shangguan Ruoli would have died long ago.
Mo Wen came back and whispered back: "Qin can't be found!"
"Check!" Dongming Ziyu's eyes were filled with excitement.
The emperor and queen came after hearing the news.
The emperor frowned and looked pale, "What happened?"
Shangguan Tianxiao knelt down and said: "My daughter has been poisoned. Please ask the emperor to find out the real culprit and give my daughter justice."
"How could you be poisoned?" The queen also looked solemn and a little irritable. These past few days have been really eventful, why are bad things happening one after another!
Shangguan Tianxiao said: "The poison has been applied to the strings."
The emperor ordered: "Thorough investigation!"
The queen frowned, "Musical instruments are all brought from the palace. From the palace to other courtyards and then to the ship, there are countless people in contact with them. I'm afraid it's difficult to check."
Shangguan Tianxiao said: "Before the eldest lady, there were also people competing in piano skills. Why is it that no one else is doing anything?"
The emperor said solemnly: "Musical instruments are specially managed by someone. Anyone who touches this piano can always find out the clues."
Shangguan Tianxiao bowed his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this time, the imperial doctor withdrew the injection and said: "The eldest lady has to go back to another hospital to boil medicine and take a medicinal bath."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get to the shore!"
The boat immediately turned around and docked, and everyone looked solemn. Although accidents happened one after another, no one was killed. Now Shangguan Ruoli was poisoned, and the person who poisoned her was directly aiming for her life.
Mo Wen came back after a while and said: "Back to the prince, the musical instruments are all placed in a cabin, and there is a special person to manage it, but that person left several times in the middle, and the cabin also has windows..."
Qu Xiaohan said: "The boat is always moving. It is very easy to destroy the evidence and throw it into the water without leaving any trace."
Shangguan Tianxiao cupped his hands to Dongming Ziyu and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered a thorough investigation into this matter. Let's wait for the news. The plan for now is Li'er's life!"
The iron-clad man choked up again as he spoke, but he still held it back in front of so many people.
Dongming Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded silently.
When the boat docked, Rejoice wanted to pick up Shangguan Ruoli, but Dongming Ziyu took the lead and picked up Shangguan Ruoli, jumped up and got off the boat.
The emperor looked at his back, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
Has this cold and arrogant son ever been so interested in anyone? Is he truly affectionate?
The queen also looked at their retreating figures and said faintly: "Your Majesty, please ask the Imperial Hospital to consult with King Xuan again. Maybe King Xuan's hidden illness can be cured. King Xuan likes Shangguan Ruoli so much, if he can't be married
Things always have a fly in the ointment."
The emperor's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded: "What the queen said is absolutely true."
…
Shangguan Ruo was on the line between life and death, Shangguan Tianxiao, Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Zhao and Shangguan Ruoxian all followed him to Cuizhu Xiaozhu.
Zheng Shuyue also followed behind, walking close or far beside Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu's handsome face was tense, and he tried his best to keep his gaze straight, but he still couldn't help but glance at Zheng Shuyue.
The group of people walked in a hurry and the atmosphere was heavy.
The bamboo forest path at night has an eerie feeling. Although there is a palace lantern hanging on the bamboo not far away, the weak light looks even more eerie in the dark night.
Shangguan Ruoxian shuddered as soon as she entered the bamboo forest, and Yinglian immediately hugged her, "What's wrong with Miss Second?"
"Nothing," Shangguan Ruoxian looked around fearfully. It was dark deep in the bamboo forest, as if a monster would jump out at any time, and he quickly quickened his pace.
Others were walking too fast, and she was a weak woman. She really couldn't catch up at night, and she gradually fell further and further behind.
However, as Shangguan Ruoli's younger sister, she had to put on a show, and she secretly resented that blind man, just die, why bother? He brought her to this hellish place!
In the quiet night, there was only the rustle of a group of people stepping on bamboo leaves, and the sound seemed to be amplified several times.
Suddenly! There was a whistling sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air!
"Protect the prince!"
"Protect the eldest lady!"
"Protect the General!"
…
The guards drew out their swords, and with a flash of cold light and a clanging sound, the hidden arrows were deflected away.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of arrows whizzing from all directions came.
Dongming Ziyu held Shangguan Ruoli in his arms, and the guards surrounded them, facing outward, waving their swords to resist.
But the assassins were in the dark, they were in the open, the rain of arrows was dense, and some of the guards were hit by arrows.
Shangguan Ruoxian screamed and Shangguan Zhao squatted on the ground, held their heads, and asked the guards to surround them.
Zheng Shuyue drew out the soft sword from her waist and faced the enemy with her guards. Looking at the dark bamboo forest, she was about to enter the bamboo forest and kill the assassin.
Shangguan Yu pulled her back, protected her behind him, and said, "Leave those people to the secret guards!"
"Leave me alone, protect yourself!" Zheng Shuyue deflected a hidden arrow for him.
Just a few muffled "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, the lantern was knocked out by a hidden weapon, and the assassin lost his target, but he still shot random arrows blindly.
Then there were screams from deep in the bamboo forest, indicating that the secret guard had succeeded.
Dongming Ziyu took the opportunity to jump up and used Qinggong to enter Cuizhu Xiaozhu.
Shangguan Tianxiao was carrying the imperial doctor, and Qu Xiaohan was escorting him as he ran forward.
There were also sporadic cold arrows that kept coming, but because both sides were in the dark, they were not accurate.
Shangguan Ruoxian and Shangguan Zhao also got up and ran as fast as they could. They always felt a chill on the back of their heads, as if they were being chased by sharp arrows.
