"Doctor Pei, how is Ruge?"

Ever since Xiao Ruge was poisoned, Mu Gu's face has been extremely gloomy, and hostility lingers around him, appearing and disappearing from time to time. It can be seen that he is on the verge of going berserk at any time.

"Master, the poison is too strong. I can't detoxify it, I can only delay it. Prince, you should find a way to find Master-grandfather quickly!"

Pei Yun was unsure how long he could protect Xiao Ruge, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much.

He quickly inserted needles into several major acupuncture points on Xiao Ruge's body, then cut the wound again with a clean dagger. The black poisonous blood instantly flowed into the basin.

As soon as the clear water met the poisonous blood, a puff of white smoke rose up. Pei Yun pulled Mu Gu and quickly retreated, waiting for the white smoke to dissipate before moving forward.

Seeing Mu Gu still standing there in a daze, his red eyes staring at the newly opened wound, Pei Yun frowned and gave him an injection.

"Your Highness, my uncle is in trouble, and we are counting on you to take charge of the situation! Whether my uncle can survive depends on you!"

Mu Gu was pricked with an injection and finally came to his senses. He didn't remember what Pei Yun had said to him before, but only remembered that Pei Yun could not save Xiao Ruge.

"You, what did you say just now? Say it again."

After finally finding his voice, Mu Gu grabbed Pei Yun with trembling hands, his throat was very hoarse.

"We need to find our Grandmaster, otherwise Uncle Shi can't hold out for much longer!"

Pei Yun simply repeated it, and then Mu Gu's mind finally started to work.

Master?

Isn’t that the miracle doctor Bianzhou?

Thinking of this, Mu Gu remembered the letter that Bianzhou had written to Xiao Ruge before, and hurriedly called the housekeeper over, asking him to arrange someone to pick up Bianzhou, the sooner the better.

The entire general's mansion was in chaos because of Xiao Ruge's poisoning. Bai Zhi and Xiao Shuang stayed by the bed and cried.

But crying couldn't change anything, they could only watch Xiao Ruge's condition getting worse and worse.

Pei Yun tried his best to save her life, and even turned a strand of his hair white overnight due to worry.

The sky changed from white to black, and then from black to white, and a day passed like this.

Wang Gensheng was tortured and finally confessed that he was sent by Mu Bo in order to prevent Mu Gu from going to the northwest.

When asked about the antidote, he said there was none until his death.

It seems that he really doesn't have the antidote.

Mu Gu's face became even uglier. He ordered people to throw Wang Gensheng's body into a mass grave, and kept asking when Bian Zhou would be brought back to pick it up.

"Your Majesty, there is no news from the people we sent out yet. I'm afraid we have to wait a few more days."

The butler was frightened by Mu Gu's violent temper and broke out in cold sweat. Although he was the butler of the general's mansion, it was he who let Wang Gensheng in after all.

He is also responsible for Xiao Ruge's current situation.

However, Mu Gu kept suppressing his anger, remembering that this was someone in Xiao Ruge's family, so it was inconvenient for him to make a decision, and thus he kept the butler's head on his neck.

However, he still took a few steps closer to the butler, looked at him as if he were a dead person, and said in a deep voice: "You'd better pray that Ruge is okay, otherwise, the first person I will kill will be you!"

The butler knelt on the ground with a thump, and said with tears in his eyes: "I really deserve to die, but the general's mansion still needs me now. Please spare my life for now, my lord. When the young lady is fine, I will die to apologize for my crime!"

Mu Gu looked down at the butler for a long time, and finally waved his hand with mercy, "Get out!"

The housekeeper bowed towards Xiao Ruge's bedroom, then turned away with tears in his eyes.

Mu Gu came to the bedside and looked at the unconscious Xiao Ruge. His heart was broken and a bloody smell rushed to his throat, but he swallowed it back.

He gently sat down on the bed, holding Xiao Ruge's right hand, which had turned black, and whispered, "Ruge, don't worry, I won't let anyone who wants to harm you go!"

The next day, the emperor finally decided to send Mu Bo to the northwest. Mu Gu was not shocked at all when he heard the news.

After all, he had done so much just to go to the northwest. In that case, Mu Gu would help him, but he just hoped that he could arrive "safely" and return "safely".

While Mu Bo was preparing to lead his troops to the northwest, Mu Gu also spread the news that Xiao Ruge was poisoned, and the entire capital was abuzz with talk for a while.

Everyone was guessing who wanted to harm Xiao Ruge.

For this reason, the emperor even sent an imperial physician, and the final result was that Xiao Ruge did not have much time left.

Mu Gu stayed by Xiao Ruge's side day and night, and finally received news in the evening of the next day that the boat had been picked up and was rushing to Kyoto.

Pei Yun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. What he had to do now was to control the poison in Xiao Ruge's body and try to delay her until the boat came over.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is ready and will leave for the northwest early tomorrow morning."

Mo Yi whispered to Mu Gu about Mu Bo's whereabouts.

Mu Gu kept looking at Xiao Ruge with his eyes, which were already bloodshot, but he did not feel uncomfortable.

"Arrange our people to disguise themselves as Qiang and Hu people and intercept and kill them every hundred miles. Anyone who can kill Mu Bo will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. It depends on whether Mu Bo's life or gold is harder.

Mo nodded in agreement and went downstairs to pass on the message. When he went out, he met Pei Yun who came in with medicine. The two of them nodded as a greeting and then went about their own business.

"My Lord, the medicine is ready."

Hearing Pei Yun's voice, Mu Gu reached out to take the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful and blew gently on it, and after making sure it was not hot, he fed it to Xiao Ruge.

But when the medicine was fed to Xiao Ruge, it flowed down the corners of her mouth, which surprised Pei Yun and Mu Gu.

He was able to drink the medicine when I gave him this morning. Why can't he drink it now when it's not even noon yet?

Seeing that Mu Gu's face was getting worse and worse, Pei Yun frowned and said, "You must drink this medicine, otherwise Uncle Shi will not live to see the day when Grand Master arrives!"

How could Mu Gu not know this?

He stared at Xiao Ruge for a long while, then suddenly raised his head and poured all the medicine into his mouth. Then he leaned over and passed the medicine in his mouth into Xiao Ruge's mouth.

Pei Yun wanted to say something when he saw this, but after opening his mouth, he said nothing in the end. He just waited for Mu Gu to stand up, then handed him a clean handkerchief.

"The poison that Master Uncle was poisoned with is too strong. If the prince feeds you medicine like this, I'm afraid he will also be corroded by the poison."

Mu Gu wiped the medicine juice from his mouth and threw away the handkerchief nonchalantly, "It's okay, can't you delay the toxicity?"

As he said this, he glanced at Pei Yun and stretched out his hand, as if he would throw him out if he said no.

Pei Yun sighed, stretched out his hand to check Mu Gu's pulse, then turned around and went downstairs to boil medicine for him.

"Your Majesty, Princess Jianing and Master Duanmu are here."

Bai Shuang pushed open the door and reported to Mu Gu in a low voice.

Mu Gu glanced at her and said, "Tell them all to go back and tell them that your daughter has been poisoned by a strange poison that is easily contagious. They will not see anyone coming in the future!"
