Although it was deliberately pretending that the situation was a little serious in front of the emperor, Mu Qiu had only just woken up and was still very tired.Seeing Song Zichen deliberately teasing himself with his teeth bared, he couldn't help but chuckled, and gently tugged at his sleeve: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm fine..."

"You tell me it's okay every time, but you make me break out in a cold sweat every time."

Song Zichen was really reluctant to leave like this, and got tired of staying by his side for a while, hugged him and kissed him lightly: "Mu Qiu, you wait for me, I'll come back as soon as I finish—if you have anything to say, tell them, OK?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, Big Brother Wei takes good care of me - all possible accidents have happened, nothing will happen again..."

Mu Qiu knew that he was uneasy, so she forced herself to smile and nodded slightly, and straightened the court clothes for him, and said softly: "Go down, Your Highness, I will wait here, and I won't go anywhere."

Seeing the eunuch at the door poking his head, not knowing whether to urge him, Song Zichen finally reluctantly helped him back to the couch.He was repeatedly told to pay attention to his body, and finally he reluctantly went out and followed the eunuch to Qianqing Palace.

It wasn't until the sound of Song Zichen's footsteps completely disappeared that Mu Qiu's condensed momentum suddenly let out, and his body slumped powerlessly.

The shadow guard at the side told everyone to leave the room. Seeing this, he quickly rushed up, carefully supported him, and added two soft pillows behind him: "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for saving your life..."

"It's okay... The emperor actually didn't intend to deal with you multiple times, but there was such a big mistake and he had to find a way to go down."

Mu Qiu shook his head with a slight smile, replied in a low voice, sat up straight with his strength, and after a short rest, smiled bitterly again: "Brother Wei, help me get the veil and wet it with cold water, I can wipe my face—the fragrance is so strong that I am still dizzy."

"Okay, son, wait a moment."

The shadow guard quickly responded, and hurried to order someone to soak the veil with cold water, wring it half dry before handing it to him: "Sir, slow down, so as not to catch the cold again."

"It's okay--if it weren't for the fact that there were too many accidents, I was completely sure of it, and there wouldn't be so many accidents at all."

Mu Qiu shook his head with a helpless wry smile, pressed the veil on his face, finally cleared his mind a little, and propped himself up a little.

"Actually, according to my original idea, it was just an excuse to go to the palace to recuperate from the cold. First, I could give His Highness more chips, and second, I could also explore the emperor's current thoughts. But I never thought that once I arrived in the palace, I would be surprised. It’s as if something has captured my mind, I’m drowsy and can’t wake up, but my body seems to be burned by a raging fire, no matter how I use my internal energy, I can’t stop vomiting blood..."

"According to our inference, there are probably two flavors of poisonous incense hidden in the emperor's bedroom. One of them is hidden in the sachet. As the young master said, it can not only stimulate the poison of drunken mortals, but also detoxify it. It is addictive invisibly, and it will be painful once you leave it. And where is the other taste, we have not had time to investigate thoroughly, and we still have no clue..."

The shadow guard nodded, thoughtfully replied, and poured him another cup of tea.Mu Qiu raised his hand to take it, but found that his hand was shaking so badly that he couldn't hold it firmly no matter what, so he had to smile wryly and shook his head: "Forget it, I really can't drink... put it aside for now. I'm not really thirsty either."

"Son—"

The shadow guard looked at his hand, a little pain flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously let out a low cry.But Mu Qiu just smiled and shook his head, then slowed down his voice and said: "It's not that serious, I just have no strength in my body, and I haven't reached the point of death yet. Let's think about the emperor's side first... Have you checked the hand stove?" And the incense burner?"

"The emperor doesn't like fragrance, so there have been no incense burners in the palace for many years. As for the hand stove and brazier, we just asked people to investigate one by one, and I'm afraid it will take a while to find out the clues. What I'm worried about now is——we have To make such a big commotion, I am afraid that someone over there has already made preparations in advance and packed up everything..."

The shadow guard shook his head, but suddenly showed some embarrassment.But Mu Qiu didn't listen to what he said later, only heard the first half and couldn't help but frowned slightly, thinking slowly: "No - when did the emperor smell the fragrance? I was in the palace when I was young. Accompanied by my father, there is also incense in the emperor's bedroom..."

"That's true. It's just that the emperor had inexplicable nightmares every day, and he searched the palace thoroughly, but nothing was found. The emperor suspected that the incense was wrong, so he asked people to remove the incense burner. As for the sachet, It was embroidered by Princess Nine herself, and it was handed over to the emperor not long ago."

The shadow guard thought for a moment before replying cautiously.

Meeting his meaningful gaze, Mu Qiu's expression couldn't help but be a bit dignified, and he nodded slowly after thinking: "The third prince learned the poison technique from Uncle Feng, if Uncle Feng did it himself, the others People may not be able to find out. The emperor suspects that it is because of the incense, but there is nothing wrong with it - but why does this matter involve Princess Nine again, isn't that the daughter of Concubine Xian?"

"My lord, I forgot that the concubine Xian and the former empress were originally the best friend. His Royal Highness and Princess Ninth are not much different in age, and Concubine Xian has always been close to His Royal Highness, so His Royal Highness and Princess Ninth had a good relationship when they were young... "

"I do remember this, but I remember that the Ninth Princess has a strong temperament and she is also very assertive in doing things. She has never had a good relationship with the emperor. In the emperor's bedroom, why is there a Ninth Princess's sachet?"

When Mu Qiu interrupted the Shadow Guard, he couldn't help but look a little dignified, obviously he had already guessed some clues.The shadow guard hesitated for a moment, listened intently to the movement outside the house, then lowered his voice and said: "The young master accompanied His Highness the Seventh Prince out of the palace, and I don't know much about what happened afterwards—in fact, the Ninth Princess has been betrothed to the Yunhuihou Mansion. She will be married on another day. The daughter of the royal family marrying the Yunhui Hou Mansion is for the purpose of controlling the balance. The emperor feels ashamed of the nine princesses in his heart, so he is more tolerant towards her. The relationship is not as good as the princess was when she was a child. Stiff."

"It's actually marrying the Ninth Princess..."

Hearing his words, Mu Qiu couldn't help but rubbed his forehead, and sighed very lightly: "Princess Jiu has always held resentment towards the emperor in her heart. Although her temper is fierce and straightforward, her heart is quite simple. You will be instigated by the Yunhui Houfu to do something. Hasn't the emperor thought of this?"

"It's not that the emperor didn't think of this, it's just that the old Yun Huihou named only this one, so this time he didn't even choose a relative, so he directly decided on this marriage."

The shadow guard shook his head, and responded respectfully.Unexpectedly, the situation in the palace has undergone so many changes after only being out of the palace for a few years. Mu Qiu couldn't help but look a little dignified. Think about it - if the sachet belongs to Princess Jiu, there are two possibilities. One is that Princess Jiu knows what is in the sachet and intends to harm the emperor, and the other is that someone wants to borrow it. The princess's hand came to harm the emperor, and the ninth princess didn't know about it... But I can only vaguely feel that the thing has a stimulating effect on toxicity, but I don't know what it actually does. Brother Wei, your people can find out Is it gone?"

"I just heard them outside the window, but I didn't ask them to come in."

The shadow guard responded, got up and walked quickly to the window, opened the window, and suddenly a ball of paper smashed in from outside.

Looking at the empty scenery outside, Mu Qiu couldn't help but smile slightly, and sighed with nostalgia: "I still remember——when I was young, all the uncles and brothers were better than anyone else at hiding, hiding everything. When I’m done, I’ll smash my window with pebbles or balls of paper. When I open the window, whoever I find will lose, and I’ll wash everyone’s clothes…”

"In the end, all of us were punished by Mr. Mu to gait for an hour because we disturbed the young master's endorsement."

The shadow guard couldn't help but smile slightly, responded with a light smile, then unfolded the ball of paper and handed it to Mu Qiu: "Young master, please take a look."

"The name of this medicine is 'Letter to the Lord', which means the meaning of the emperor, minister and assistant. It is non-toxic and has no special medicinal properties. It only has a fragrance that can refresh the mind. And if it is used in combination with other medicines, its efficacy can be multiplied. Combining with other poisons, can multiply its toxicity..."

Mu Qiu took the note and glanced at it. His expression, which was relaxed a little bit, became a little dignified. He frowned slightly, and subconsciously gently rubbed the corner of the paper: "Listening to this name, I'm afraid it's indistinguishable from the nine princesses." It has nothing to do with it - if the medicine is just a courtier, it means that there is still real poison in the emperor's palace, and this medicine is actually fine. Even if it is investigated to the end, there is no crime of the nine princesses. "

"That's exactly the case—probably this was planned by Marquis Yunhui. After all, no matter how good the Marquis Yunhui's mansion is, it is impossible to be willing to bear the crime of murdering the emperor just like this."

The shadow guard nodded, and his expression couldn't help but sink: "As for the other poison, when the young master was asleep, the Chinese medicine doctor also mentioned it, saying that it is 'drunk life and dream death', which can make people peaceful in the middle of sleep, but it is very easy Addiction, if one day without this poison, it will be difficult to fall asleep, and the temperament will be irritable and irritable..."

"It turned out to be this thing——I know this kind of poison. Uncle Feng taught me to recognize it at the beginning, but now Uncle Feng is afraid that he is no longer in the capital, so I may not be able to find him."

Mu Qiu nodded slightly in thought, kneaded the piece of paper into a ball again, and threw it into the teacup.The ink on the paper was quickly blurred by the tea, turning into a puddle of traces that no one could see clearly: "But——if we go to investigate the third prince right now, will the emperor really believe us?"
