The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 9 Suspicious
Xiao Mubei said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will punish you. Now go take a good shower, change your clothes, and have a good sleep. Come back and reply after you've had enough sleep."
Chu Yunxi was stunned, huh?
"What? You don't want to accept the punishment?" Xiao Mubei's cold voice showed no emotion, but Chu Yunxi still felt the warmth. She didn't expect that this prince was quite humane.
"That's not the case. It's just that you still need an IV today. I want to leave. If I leave, who will treat you?"
Chu Yunxi sighed resignedly and began to pack up the medicine. Being a worker, life is hard.
"Infusion?" Xiao Mubei heard a new word.
"Yes, it can reduce inflammation and promote wound healing." Chu Yunxi briefly explained and came over with the prepared liquid for the injection.
Xiao Mubei frowned as he watched her insert the needle into his hand, but he did not stop her or ask any questions. Chu Yunxi got up and said, "Don't move your hand while you're inserting the needle."
"Is this how you saved me?" Xiao Mubei looked at the hanging infusion bottle.
"Yes, this is much better than your golden wound medicine. You are lucky to have met me. Otherwise, you would probably be sleeping in the imperial mausoleum by now."
This was the truth. After all, even Doctor Lu, who had the best medical skills here, had declared that he was beyond saving. If it weren't for Chu Yunxi, King Dingbei would have definitely died this time.
Chu Yunxi put the things in the medicine box and put them away. After finishing her work, she sat down at the table again, facing Xiao Mubei, "You can take a nap, it will help your recovery. You need to receive several vials today, so it will be slow. I'll just keep an eye on it."
"You can ask Bai Yu to help you."
"No, I'm used to it. I'm afraid he'll make a mistake. Besides, he doesn't know how to remove the needle." Chu Yunxi took out a book, "Just go to sleep. Don't worry about me."
Xiao Mubei didn't say anything else and closed his eyes obediently. The room became quiet, with only the sound of Chu Yunxi gently turning the pages of the book.
"Have you studied medicine since you were a child?" Xiao Mubei suddenly asked.
Chu Yunxi didn't take her eyes off the book and said, "Yes, I've been studying for more than ten years."
Xiao Mubei stopped talking. After a while, his breathing became even and he fell asleep.
Chu Yunxi put down the book and looked at the handsome face sleeping in front of her. She added some sleeping pills to the liquid. Xiao Mubei's body couldn't stand the tossing and turning. She could see that as soon as he woke up, he had a lot of things to do and he couldn't work so hard.
When Xiao Mubei woke up, it was already dark. Hei Mu was serving him and there was porridge prepared on the table.
"Your Highness is awake?" Hei Mu stepped forward and helped Xiao Mubei up.
Xiao Mubei sat up and rested for another day. He felt much better than during the day, but his legs still had no feeling.
"Where is Chu Yunxi?" Xiao Mubei took the porridge handed to him by Hei Mu.
"Miss Chu arranged for us to prepare suitable food and then went to rest." Hei Mu stood by with his head down.
Xiao Mubei gently stirred the porridge in his hand. It was a light red date and yam porridge, sweet but not greasy. He remembered that he had millet porridge in the morning.
"Did she instruct you to prepare all this?"
"Yes, in the past few days, everything that happened to His Highness was arranged by Miss Chu."
It was strange. He remembered that after he was injured before, Doctor Lu would let him drink some nourishing soup, which was fishy and salty and as unpalatable as medicine. He didn't expect that this time, not only did he not have to drink those bitter medicines, but he could also drink these sweet porridge.
"Hei Mu, have you found out what I asked you to investigate?" Xiao Mubei asked as he slowly drank the porridge in his hand.
Hei Mu nodded. "The third young lady of the Chu family was sent to a private school by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery since she was young. The Marquis's wife has been training her in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is said to be very smart and well-known among the noble ladies in the capital, but no one has ever heard of her studying medicine."
Xiao Mubei paused, "You've never studied medicine?"
"At least, no one knows." Hei Mu chose his words carefully.
Xiao Mubei gently stirred the little porridge left in the bowl, thinking, "Has she done anything wrong in the past few days?"
Hei Mu scratched his head. What was wrong? There were too many things, right? For example, these strange treatments, no one had ever seen them, let alone heard of them.
"Oh, I heard from Bai Yu that when the girl saved us, she told Bai Yu not to ask anything because she wouldn't tell us even if we asked. At that time, we were anxious to save His Highness, so Bai Yu and Butler Ling didn't ask anything."
Xiao Mubei frowned mysteriously and drank the porridge in one gulp. Hei Mu immediately handed him a handkerchief.
"Can her identity be confirmed?"
"Yes, Hongyu, who was bathing her, carefully examined her face and found that she was not disguising herself. She is indeed the third daughter of the Chu family, absolutely genuine."
Xiao Mubei frowned. This person was not an imposter, but he did not match the Chu Yunxi that everyone talked about. Could it be that this person was extremely cunning and had secretly studied medicine since childhood, but deliberately concealed it and deceived everyone?
"Okay, you go down first and let Bai Yu come in."
"Yes, I will take my leave." Hei Mu packed up his things and walked to the door. He paused again and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, I heard something else. I don't know if it will be of any use."
"explain."
"I heard that Miss Chu was already dead when she was strangled, but she suddenly woke up and beat up the two guards who were carrying out the execution before escaping to our place."
"Resurrection from the dead?" Xiao Mubei snorted coldly, "How can such absurdity be believed?"
"Yes, I know I was wrong." Hei Mu lowered his head and went out. Bai Yu came in, walked to the bed and said, "Your Highness, Zi Han has already captured the person."
"Did you get the antidote?"
"I've got it, but I don't know whether it's real or not." Bai Yu handed over a thumb-sized bottle.
Xiao Mubei took it, opened the bottle, smelled it, and frowned.
A month ago, he was suddenly poisoned in the military camp. The poison was very strong. Although he discovered it in time and used his internal force to force all the poison into his legs, it inevitably affected his movements.
Because of this, he was defeated by his opponent and seriously injured when Nan Di launched a massive attack. Before that, he ordered Zi Han to lead the Purple Guards to find the traitor and the antidote, but this person hid very deeply, and it was not until this moment that he was finally caught.
After closing the lid, Xiao Mubei asked, "Did you tell Chu Yunxi that I was poisoned?"
"No, no one told me. Miss Chu discovered it herself."
"Then let her come tomorrow to see whether this antidote is real or fake." Xiao Mubei threw the bottle back and suddenly felt that it was really good to have someone with superb medical skills around him.
Bai Yu took the bottle, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Does your highness trust Miss Chu?"
Xiao Mubei looked at Bai Yu with some surprise, but did not answer. Instead, he asked calmly, "Then do you think I should believe her?"
Bai Yu said seriously: "I think Miss Chu is trustworthy."
"Bai Yu, you have never spoken for others in front of me. Is it because Chu Yunxi saved you?" Xiao Mubei looked at Bai Yu with interest.
