The emperor deposed the concubine Shu, expelled the second prince, and dismissed Duke Ning to the world.

Concubine Shu and Ning Guoqiu cooperated with others and sneaked into Tianlao to seek human lives. This kind of thing of inserting a knife into the emperor's side is almost the same as treason.

But the emperor still spared their lives, he was truly a man of love.

But Mu Rong knew that the emperor's move was far better than murder.

The Li family is not allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations, and is not allowed to hold an official position above the seventh rank for five generations... Such a family, whether they are from a prominent family or a peddler, will never marry with them again. The generation will become extinct.

Letting Li Mingyi watch his own people perish with his own eyes was really more painful than Ling Chi.

The same goes for Concubine Shu. Compliance is the lowest status among the concubines. Not only that, she will also be permanently banned... The people who were originally in Concubine Shu's palace, those who served her personally were all sentenced to death, and the rest were punished with the confiscation of Yeting Palace, and their loyalty was lost. Even if she gets sick or dies with people around her, no one will know.

And what about Wu Tianchi?The prince was deposed as King An and moved to Anzhou. After all, he still had a fiefdom.But Wu Tianchi was directly expelled from the capital and could never come back...

With no land, no livelihood, and no hands or shoulders to carry, no one knows how miserable his fate will be.

Each of them met a fate worse than death, but the emperor was praised by the people for sparing their lives.

This was the first time in his two lifetimes that Mu Rong had clearly felt the emperor's cruelty.

The emperor...has this uncle of his always been like this?

Before Mu Rong had time to clear his thoughts, he felt a sudden chill coming from his body. Even if he quickly activated his internal force, he could not suppress it at all.

He secretly thought that something was wrong, but it was already dark at this time. If he went to invite Shu Qing into the house at this time, it would definitely arouse suspicion among Mu Yi and others.

So he didn't say anything and endured the whole night until the next morning. Shu Qing went into the house to ask for a safe pulse as usual.

Nowadays, Shu Qing is well-known in the capital. He has the demeanor of a famous doctor and has already learned to remain calm in all situations.

But when he saw Mu Rong's eyebrows and temples stained with white frost, he was still shocked.

After checking the medicine bottle he had left for Mu Rong, his face turned green with anger!

"The medicine I prescribed to Mr. Hou is enough for you to use for three months! But now it has just been half a month and there is not much left? I told you that this medicine cannot be taken continuously, but Mr. Hou actually forgot it!" Shu Qing's His beard trembled.

Mu Rong responded: "I have not forgotten it, but because I have too many things to discuss with the county leader these days, in order not to make her suspicious, I took more."

"Master Hou is taking this medicine as a sugar pill and ignoring my warning!" Shu Qing sneered and glared at Mu Rong, "Master Hou keeps saying that he doesn't want the county master to be criticized after you are poisoned. This is how you hide it from her and everyone, but if you continue like this, you may die suddenly in front of everyone one day! By then, do you still want to silence everyone?"

Shu Qing was furious and spoke without mercy.

Mu Rong knew that he was in the wrong, so he patiently listened to Shu Qing's lesson.

After the other party finally calmed down his anger, he suppressed his discomfort and asked: "It is indeed my fault for not following Mr. Shu's medical advice. I will definitely remember Mr. Shu's teachings in the future and dare not forget them again... But I don't know what Mr. Shu's fault is." Is there any progress on the antidote?"

Shu Qing glanced at the other party and snorted coldly: "With the endless tossing the Marquis is doing now, I'm afraid you won't need the antidote!"

Because before the antidote is developed, you may be dead!

Shu Qing held back the second half of his sentence, but how could Mu Rong not hear it?He smiled bitterly: "What I did was indeed inappropriate, but it was also out of necessity. From now on, I will definitely not abuse drugs or put my own life at risk."

Shu Qing was silent.

He has lived for 40 years, how could he not see that the downfall of the Second Prince and his party, which caused a stir in the capital these days, must be the handiwork of the man in front of him?

After working so hard, how can I not be bitten by the cold poison?

He frowned and added: "In addition to not abusing drugs, you also shouldn't work too hard!"

"Sir, I have written it down," Mu Rong said, "Sir, please don't give up on me."

After all, he was about to marry Xu Rongrong, and he must not make any mistakes at this time.

"Are you giving up on the Marquis? It's because the Marquis doesn't cherish himself!" Shu Qing was almost furious to death.

He took a deep breath to prevent himself from being rude again and took out the silver needle from the medicine bag.

"I have only been studying the death row prisoners sent by Mr. Chu for half a month, and there is no progress yet. Now I can only rely on the old method to suppress the toxicity for the Marquis."

Mu Rong understood, he lowered his head and took off his outer robe, and then took off his middle coat to his waist.

Shu Qing inserted silver needles into acupuncture points all over his body.

And Mu Rong is also using internal force to suppress it.

Gradually, the chill in Mu Rong's eyebrows gradually dissipated, and the white frost condensed on his eyebrows and temples also disappeared.

Shu Qing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment he realized something was wrong!

Mu Rong was a first-class military prince, and he was inevitably injured after many years of fighting on the battlefield.And those scars gradually dissipated after they healed, leaving only some faint traces... But at this moment, the places where the injuries healed gradually gathered blood according to the appearance of the scars, as if the scars would be re-painted in the next moment. burst out.

how so!

Shu Qing frowned deeply.

As the needles penetrated the acupoints and the internal force suppressed them, the scars on Mu Rong's body became more and more obvious.

"Master Hou, please don't use your inner strength anymore!" Shu Qing shouted in a low voice.

But at this moment, Mu Rong seemed to have lost control.

The pain of the scar bursting caused him to subconsciously intensify the output of his internal energy.

And the wound on his heart was the most serious!It was when he was in the hunting palace last year, in order to eliminate Xu Rongrong's suspicion, he was almost shot through the heart with an arrow. The old injury here made his lips begin to turn black.

Shu Qing quickly took out the heart-protecting gallbladder from the medicine bag and fed it to Mu Rong.

He also applied acupuncture to his old injury to relieve pain.

After another long time, Mu Rong gradually recovered.

At this time, his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, and his whole body was covered with silver needles. The scars that had long since healed began to become congested with blood, and the scars looked very scary.

"Why...is this happening?" Mu Rong was a little confused.

After Shu Qing checked his pulse, he sighed helplessly: "I think it was caused by the medicines I left for the Marquis... I once said that those medicines contained ten of the best from the Great Zhou Dynasty. This kind of tonic uses strong tonics to suppress the cold poison in the body of the Marquis, so that no one will notice the abnormality. However, because the Marquis overdosed previously, the effects of the drug were superimposed in the body and could not be discharged, which also forced the cold poison in your body to become More domineering! Just now we used acupuncture points and internal force to jointly suppress the cold poison, so that it has nowhere to escape and starts to attack the weakest part of your body - the old wounds left from your previous injuries."

Having said this, Shu Qing lowered his head: "I made a mistake."

He could hardly imagine the pain caused by dozens of old wounds bursting out at the same time.

Seeing this, Mu Rong shook his head weakly: "Sir, there is no need to blame yourself. This is the backlash caused by my failure to follow the doctor's advice."

He lowered his head and looked at the scars on his body.

Fortunately, she didn't see him like this.

He looked at Shu Qing and said, "Sir, can you explain it?"

Shu Qing said nothing, took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine bag and handed it over.

Mu Rong took it: "Antidote?"

Shu Qing shook his head: "It's for pain relief."

Mu Rong: "..."
