Chapter 261 I hope he is just being overthinking

The originally difficult night passed like this, and Xu Rongrong didn't know how long she slept.

The next morning, when he opened his eyes again, he saw the faces of Wen Yao and Luo Shu.

"Why you?" She was a little confused.

"Who did you think it was?" Luo Shu said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to sleep so soundly. Madam Xiao said earlier that since it was your first period, the first night would be very difficult, so she told us to be alert and come early to serve you... It seems Madam Xiao was worrying too much."

Xu Rongrong supported herself with her arms and sat up, feeling a sharp pain in her back. She had menstruation experience in her previous life, so she ordered, "Go get some hot water. It hasn't been used all night, so I'm afraid I need to change clothes again." "Yes." The two maids responded and retreated.

After sending Wen Yao and Luo Shu away, Xu Rongrong raised her right hand, but her palm was empty.

She leaned slightly to the side and searched on the bed, but still saw nothing.

Xu Rongrong frowned: Did I have a dream last night?

But that warm and familiar feeling is so real...

Not far away in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Mu Rong was meditating in his room, and an unusual paleness appeared on his face.

He hadn't felt this tired for a long time. It took him an hour to adjust himself before he slowly opened his eyes.

But those eyes were filled with deep sorrow:

He had previously channeled his inner energy into Xu Rongrong several times to relieve her headaches, but last night, while using it to dispel the cold, he discovered that his own energy was dissipating, something he had never experienced before. Seeing how distressed she was, he didn't think twice and continued to dispel the cold even at the risk of his energy dissipating.

But after a night, he looked as if he had just fought a fierce battle. If it weren't for his strong internal strength, he would have collapsed on the spot!

How could her body suddenly become like this? After much thought, there was only one answer: the ice-sealing poison had changed her constitution.

Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "Someone come."

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Mu Yi answered outside the door. When he woke up in the morning and saw that his master had a strange look on his face, he sent his servants away and waited outside the door himself.

"Please ask the doctor from the palace to come over. I have something to ask you." He wanted to find out whether the poison in Xu Rongrong's body was really cured.

Mu Yi responded and left.

There was no more sound outside the door. Mu Rong spread out his hand, and a jade bead was lying in his palm.

Those were the beads pulled off the jade tassels at his waist... He chased after the jade beads, sighed and shook his head: his little girl was so strong that she almost caught him with evidence of breaking into her boudoir at night.

……

Because Mu Yi went to Lu's house in person to ask for help, the doctor in the palace was so panicked that he didn't bother to ask more questions and rushed over with the medicine box.

Mu Rong was waiting for him in the study. He ran in and, after a careful inspection, saw that Mu Rong was fine. He was relieved. "The Marquis ordered me here this morning. Is there something important?"

"I wonder if the palace doctor regularly checks the county princess's pulse?" Mu Rong asked.

The palace doctor: "..."

He knew that the reason for such a rush must be related to Princess Ping'an!

So he replied, "In reply to the Marquis, after the county lady has been cured of the poison, I will come to the mansion every five days to check her pulse."

"How is her pulse now?" Mu Rong asked again. "Everything is normal."

Mu Rong raised his head and asked, "According to the palace doctor's opinion, has the ice-sealing poison she was previously infected with been completely cured?"

"That's right." As soon as the palace physician finished answering, he knew the Marquis's question would be more complicated than that, so he asked, "But what's wrong with the county lady now? But the other evening, I just took her pulse and she was only slightly weak."

Menstruation comes at the beginning, and the body's weakness is also being cleared.

Mu Rong cleared his throat and then told her about his discovery of Xu Rongrong's unusual physique. "...I've never seen such internal energy before. I think it's related to the cold poison, so I've asked the palace doctor to come here to investigate."

The palace physician knew Mu Rong's words were true. He stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. "To be honest, the Ice-Sealing Poison is rare in the Great Zhou. We detoxified the County Lady according to the method advised by Wei Yi of Southern Xinjiang. Doctor Shu and I have been extremely cautious, but we see that the County Lady's health is getting better day by day, and all the symptoms of poisoning have disappeared." He continued, "These days, I've been taking the County Lady's pulse at Zhuxiang Yayuan every five days, and Doctor Shu has been visiting the mansion every few days. Neither of us has found any signs of residual poison in the County Lady's body. Perhaps the County Lady's abnormality is not related to the poisoning?"

"But since she was poisoned, her physique has become several times weaker and colder than that of an ordinary person," said Mu Rong.

"Indeed, the county lady is feeling weak and cold now, but she was poisoned for a long time before, and she has just been detoxified. It will take some time for her to recover, which is normal." The palace doctor explained.

Mu Rong stood up, his expression slightly solemn. "Is it possible that the toxicity of the Yuhong grass in her body was only suppressed by the Xuejie grass, but not completely eradicated? Otherwise, how can we explain the dissipation of my internal energy? After all, the Yuhong grass is very strange. It can poison people after looking at it for a long time. How can we know that it doesn't have other toxins?"

After he finished speaking, the palace doctor was stunned.

Indeed, for him, Yuhongcao was only recorded in books. If the county lord hadn't been poisoned, he probably would never have seen this legendary healing elixir in his lifetime. Doctor Shu was better than him, but he had only heard of it.

As for the method of detoxification, it was also mentioned by the girl Wei from southern Xinjiang. She was still young and knew limited things. Whether that method could really eradicate the poison completely... Now that he was asked by the Marquis, he suddenly lost his confidence.

Seeing this, Mu Rong already had the answer in his mind.

So he said, "I think it will take a while to come to a conclusion on this matter. Please take good care of the county lady's health, doctor of the palace."

Upon seeing this, the palace physician immediately stood up and said, "I will certainly do my best. I will go back and ask Doctor Shu to conduct further research on the Yuhongcao."

Mu Rong nodded: "Thank you."

After the palace doctor left, he called Mu Yi in again and asked, "Where is Chu He now?"

Mu Yi glanced at the map in his study and thought for a moment: "According to the date, we should be reaching the southern border soon."

"Send a letter to our people, asking them to protect Chu He and get the Valiwai siblings safely to Southern Xinjiang. Also... send another secret letter to Chu He, asking him to carefully research the Yuhong and Xuejie herbs in Southern Xinjiang."

Mu Yi's expression changed when he heard this: "But the county lady..."

Mu Rong lowered his eyes: "I hope I am overthinking it."

"Do you need to be more clear in the secret letter to Guard Chu?" Mu Yi asked.

"No, he understands."

"Yes! I'll do it right away!" Mu Yi said, and immediately went to the pigeon house...

Mu Rong stood in front of the map for a long time with his hands behind his back, gently moving the jade bead with his fingertips.

I hope he is just overthinking it.
