I didn't take it to heart, I just thought it would be fine if I carried it for two days.

When Ji Lin climbed up the steps of the altar, halfway up, the dizzy feeling suddenly swept over him and rushed straight into his mind. There was a "buzz" in his head, and he felt that his body was about to collapse, so he quickly forced himself to calm down and stabilize his mind.

The dizzy feeling was the same as the previous two times. It quickly subsided. Ji Lin's steps only paused slightly before returning to normal and continued walking up.

However, what Ji Lin didn't expect was that the feeling of dizziness did not subside as quickly as the previous two times. It actually happened continuously for the second time. Just when Ji Lin was about to go to the altar, the dizziness swept over him again.

It brings about a feeling of powerlessness.

This feeling is very familiar, as if he is about to turn into a little local dog at midnight every night. Ji Lin tried his best to calm himself down, but it was completely useless. His mind was quickly swallowed up by darkness. His tall body leaned back, and his cloak was hung loosely.

The winter wind, "Bang!!" fell heavily on the steps.

The altar was tall, and the steps were long and shaky. Ji Lin lost consciousness first and then fell down the steps. Therefore, he was not conscious at all when he fell, so he was naturally unable to save himself. He quickly rolled down the steps.

His face was covered in blood...

"Ouch...Ouch?"

In the dim tent of the Tutor's camp, a little native dog with a tiger-like head suddenly raised its little head, shook its big ears, and let out two milky sounds.

The little native dog suddenly turned over, looked down at its little paws, "Ouch!" and barked again, staring into a pair of black dog eyes, shocked.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch...?" Has this person turned into a dog?

It was clearly not dark yet, it was clearly not midnight yet, but Ji Lin suddenly transformed from the emperor into a little native dog. The little native dog barked wildly, and then jumped down from the couch with all four paws, barking, and ran quickly in a series

Leave the tent.

The little native dog ran out of the tent and immediately heard many eunuchs and palace maids whispering, all talking about the emperor falling down the stairs.

"I heard that the emperor fell ill."

"Shh--keep it down."

"Somehow, I heard that...the emperor is going to die!"

"Really or not?"

"How dare I talk nonsense? But I just heard what others said. Today during the alliance ceremony, the emperor actually fell down from the steps. Oops, his face was covered with blood. It was so terrible. All the medical officers went there."

"If the emperor fails, will the people of Lu take the opportunity to send troops? Aren't we in danger?"

"That's right. The Lu State is a Red Di. Everyone is a barbarian and will not take advantage of others' danger!"

"What should I do..."

The little native dog was so anxious after hearing people's panic guesses that he hurriedly ran towards the Emperor's battalion commander. As expected, the perimeter of the camp was heavily guarded, and the tiger troops lined up in a clanking manner, guarding the camp like iron barrels.

The little native dog circled around the tent, got in from the corner, shook its little butt and tail, and burrowed in hard. It made a "clunking" sound and rolled forward because of too much force.

Entered the tent.

As soon as he entered, he heard the trembling words of the medical officer, who said tremblingly: "Return... to the Grand Tutor, the Emperor... the Emperor... the Emperor is probably... bad!"

In the emperor's camp, the medical officer knelt on the ground. Zhou Gong Heijian, Guo Gongji's father, Grand Sima Wuman, Gongzi Wan, etc. gathered a bunch of confidant doctors, all waiting for the medical officer to treat the emperor.

The emperor fell from the stairs and never woke up again. His face was covered with blood, his breathing was very weak, and his face was extremely pale. He looked completely different from the heroic figure he used to look like in the past.

Qi Lu didn't expect that the medical officer, after examining the patient for a long time, actually said, "I'm afraid the Emperor is not well." Qi Lu heard a rumble in his mind, and said with a gloomy face: "What do you mean, the Emperor is not well? The Emperor has a strong body and is old.

It’s light, so why is it bad?”

Indeed, Ji Lin is less than twenty years old now. He is young and is really young among the kings. Moreover, Ji Lin has a more active temperament. Unlike Qi Lu who is a "homebody" who always likes to stay in bed, Ji Lin always

He practiced martial arts every day, no matter how busy he was, but no one else had ever seen his tender tendons, but Qi Lu had seen him several times.

If someone suddenly fell ill and suffered from a headache and fever, Qi Lu would probably believe it, but if the emperor suddenly died, Qi Lu would never believe it.

The medical officer hesitated and said: "The emperor... In my opinion, the emperor is poisoned."

Poisoned?

The little native dog narrowed his eyes. Poisoned? He knows his own body best. Ji Lin has no idea where he was poisoned. How could he suddenly be diagnosed as poisoned, and the poison would appear instantly? When did he get poisoned?

?

Qi Lu said in surprise: "Poisoned?"

The medical officer wiped his cold sweat and said, "Yes, I don't dare to lie. The emperor's pulse is really caused by poisoning."

Qi Lu squinted his eyes and suddenly remembered that the emperor had been feeling unwell a few days ago. He almost fainted and drank a lot of porridge. He was also a little dizzy this morning and asked, "How long has the emperor been poisoned?"

The medical officer was even more frightened and kowtowed repeatedly, shouting: "Please forgive me! Master, please forgive me!"

Qi Lu was very surprised. He just asked a question. It was not the medical officer who poisoned him, so why should he spare his life? Then he heard the medical officer say: "The emperor... I am afraid that the emperor has been poisoned for some time."

"Some days?" Qi Lu narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't the emperor seek medical advice a few days ago, so why wasn't he diagnosed at that time? Didn't you say that the emperor just caught wind and cold occasionally and that he would be fine after treatment?"

The medical officers kowtowed again and again. No wonder when Qi Lu asked, these medical officers were scared to death, because the emperor had indeed been poisoned for some time, but the medical officer did not check it out at the time. He just thought it was a cold, and gave the emperor something to eat.

It's just a decoction to strengthen your body.

The medical officer said as if he was sifting chaff: "This... this thief who poisoned me is really abominable... so abominable. This kind of poison cannot be diagnosed at first. The symptoms are very mild, and it doesn't seem to be a serious problem until... until... until

Toxins only become toxic after they invade the organs, and by the time...by the time the diagnosis is made, the condition is...already bad."

That's it. It seems that Ji Lin suffered from dizziness a few days ago and was poisoned at that time, but it is impossible to detect it according to current medical skills.

Qi Lu squinted his eyes, and countless questions rushed through his mind. Who was harming the emperor? The emperor was poisoned at this juncture. He was afraid that it was calculated and must be aimed at the alliance.

Now that the emperor suddenly fell to the lower level at the meeting ceremony, what a big deal it was. It would soon spread like wildfire. If anyone with an intention knew about the emperor's poisoning, the world would definitely be in chaos...

Qi Lu said: "Is there a cure for this poison...?"

The medical officer said in a trembling voice: "This... although this poison is very sinister, it is not completely untreatable. Now the emperor's toxin invades the internal organs, causing... to coma. The emperor has always had a strong body, so he should... should...

It can be solved."

What the medical officer said was ambiguous. After all, this is a matter of fate. It cannot be said that there is no solution, but it also depends on the individual's recovery ability.

Qi Lu said coldly: "Doctor! The emperor must be cured!"

The medical officer kept saying: "Yes, I will do my best!"

Qi Lu said calmly: "It's not just about trying our best, it's about curing the emperor..."

Qi Lu's voice was gloomy, and he said coldly: "It's not that Lu wants to embarrass you, but the current situation is pressing. This is the Huimeng camp. If there is any trouble for the emperor, Lu State will be watching. Once an army is raised, who will

I can’t even save my head.”

"Yes! It's a matter!" The medical officer said again: "I am...I am determined to heal the emperor."

Qi Lu immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense, and treat the emperor's illness immediately."

The medical officers quickly gathered around, not paying attention to any etiquette. Qi Lu glanced at everyone, and the other people's faces were also very ugly. Everyone looked at each other, left the soft couch in a tacit understanding, and came to the outer room of the emperor's tent.

Everyone stood together, Wu Man couldn't hold back his anger, and said in a vicious voice: "Damn, that overlord, if I catch him, I will definitely skin him!"

Duke Zhou's black shoulder expression remained as usual, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "With the current plan, we must not mess up the situation. We need to keep it secret about the emperor's serious illness."

Everyone nodded immediately. This is indeed the truth. Not to mention that Lu State is from Chidi, which one of Jin State and Quwo is not ambitious? Ji Lin has no heirs, no brothers and sisters, and his only uncle is dead. If the emperor appears,

If there is any problem, the princes from all over the country will definitely swarm up and elect various new emperors to the throne. Then there will be a scene of chaos.

Qi Lu said in a deep voice: "Now the Huimeng camp is ready to move, and public opinion is everywhere. Please ask Duke Zhou to calm down the public opinion."

Black Shoulder didn't talk nonsense and said, "Just leave it to Black Shoulder."

Qi Lu looked at Da Sima Wuman again and said: "Da Sima is in charge of the Tiger and Ben Army. Please also ask Da Sima to arrange the soldiers and horses in the camp to guard against death. Don't let villains take advantage of the situation."

Wuman nodded and said, "Yes!"

Qi Lu continued to say to Guo Gongji's father: "Now we are in Changzi City, surrounded by Chidi tribes. In addition to the Lu family, there are also three Chidi tribes, Jia family, Duochen family and Liuyu family, who are eyeing us. Although we are here now.

The three tribes are not yet aware of the chaos in the alliance, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, and please ask Duke Guo to keep an eye on it and investigate it carefully."

Guo Gongji's father nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you are thoughtful. I will go there in a moment."

Qi Lu was about to speak again when suddenly a wave of dizziness came over him and he suddenly tilted his head.

"Ouch!"

Hearing a series of dog barks, the little local dog suddenly rushed up from the sloping ground and used its little head to hold up Qi Lu who was about to fall.

Ji Lin was suddenly poisoned. He couldn't help but think of the day Qi Lu gave him a roast chicken rack. He was also a little dizzy. He almost threw away the support of the roast chicken rack. When he saw Qi Lu suddenly falling down, he couldn't stand still anymore.

He opened his short legs, ran into the tent, bit a medical officer's robe, and dragged the medical officer out while screaming.

When the medical officer saw that Qi Lu's expression was not good, he felt a thump in his heart and immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Qi, I'm brave enough to ask for Taifu Qi's pulse."

Young Master Wan picked Qi Lu up in his arms, put him on the mat, and let him sit on his back. Although the little native dog was very tasty, it was obviously not the time to eat, and he stood beside Qi Lu eagerly, staring at it.

The medical officer examined Qi Lu.

Qi Lu just suddenly felt a little dizzy. It was no longer a serious problem, but Qi Lu himself also remembered that dizziness was among the symptoms of the emperor's poisoning, so he nodded and said, "Thank you."

The medical officer put his hand on Qi Lu's wrist. After a while, he said in horror: "Master, you... you are also poisoned. It is exactly the same as the emperor's pulse, but the toxin has not invaded the internal organs."

Qi Lu narrowed his eyes. He had already been mentally prepared. Although he looked calm when he heard this, his heart thumped. He and the emperor were both poisoned. It seemed that the poisoner was very ambitious.

Although it was difficult to detect the toxin earlier, the medical officer had the experience of diagnosing the emperor's pulse just now, and Qi Lu had been ill for a period of time a few days ago. The medical officer felt that Qi Lu and the emperor were both poisoned.

Yes, it's just that Qi Lu's poisoning was not deep, while the emperor's poisoning was very deep and had already entered the internal organs.
