Chapter 37 Assassin
The princess's bedroom.
Zhao Mu was blindfolded and led by He Minzhong, and followed the prince into the palace.
They saw Zhou Yue and Yuwen Piaoxu sitting at the table talking and laughing, and there was a pile of medicinal materials on the table.
The prince's gloomy expression suddenly gave way to a smile: "Junior sister is here? Look at you, senior brother has already said that he has sent people to find the medicinal materials, why are you collecting them yourself?"
"Isn't it because I was afraid that senior brother would be busy, so junior sister went to find it by herself? I hope senior brother won't be offended."
Zhou Yue said with a smile, as if she didn't know the prince's thoughts at all.
"Haha, you also care about Piaoxu, how can I not be surprised?"
The prince asked He Minzhong to bring Zhao Mu over: "Okay, now that the medicinal materials are ready, it's up to you to take action. I hope you can cure your wife as soon as possible."
"Okay, let someone prepare the medicine according to my prescription. After I perform the acupuncture, I will give the medicine to my wife."
Zhao Mu took out the needle box from the medicine box.
"etc!"
The prince suddenly spoke again: "Sir, you want to perform acupuncture on my wife, but do you have to take off your clothes?"
He suddenly remembered the scene when he was being treated, where he had to undress and take off his belt.
Although she and Yuwen Piaoxu are not really a couple, they are still their nominal princesses.
What's more, Yuwen Piaoxu is extremely beautiful, and he has actually regarded her as his forbidden love for a long time.
It's just that I have been unable to do so all these years, so I have never gotten involved.
So, how could he let Yuwen Piaoxu take off his clothes in front of another man?
Zhao Mu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, young master, I don't need to do the acupuncture myself. Miss Zhou can just come. I will tell her the order and technique of acupuncture outside the house."
"is this okay?"
Zhou Yue was a little worried.
"Of course you can. Miss Zhou, you are an innate master after all. You must know the meridians and acupuncture points of a person's body very well."
"As for the basic acupuncture techniques of medicine, I believe you should also know something about it. As long as you apply the acupuncture in the order I told you, there is no chance of accidents."
"Okay, let me do it."
Zhou Yue nodded, took the needle box and Yuwen Piaoxu and walked into the bedroom inside.
Zhao Mu and the other two walked to the front hall of the palace and sat down at the table.
Soon, Zhou Yue's voice came from the bedroom: "Sir, that's all."
"Okay, then apply the acupuncture in the order I told you, and use the appropriate techniques."
"yes!"
"One needle three times at Shenting point... Twisting needle at Fengchi point... Tanzhong point trembles in advance and retreat..."
inside the house.
Under Zhao Mu's dictation, Zhou Yu picked up silver needles and inserted them into Yuwen Piaoxu's body one by one.
Gradually, Yuwen Piaoxu's fair skin turned red, she sweated a lot, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.
After about two sticks of incense, Zhou Yue inserted all eighty-one silver needles into Yuwen Piaoxu's body.
At this time, the meridians all over Yuwen Piaoxu's body were sealed, and his body was stiff and unable to move. He actually just sat on the stool and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Yue wiped her sweat, turned around and left the bedroom.
"Ma'am, is she asleep?"
Zhao Mu asked.
"Um!"
Zhou Yue nodded: "Sister is sweating a lot and her body is very stiff. How long will this state last?"
"After three sticks of incense, you go in and pull out the needle, and her body will become soft again. Then just put her on the bed and sleep."
"In addition, once the medicine is ready, feed it to her. This treatment will be done every seven days. Madam will be able to practice in half a year."
"Thank you sir, I will rely on you for the next six months." Zhou Yue saluted Zhao Mu with a serious face.
"It doesn't matter, I'll take the money."
Zhao Mu said with a slight smile.
At this moment, He Minzhong, who had been standing silently beside him, suddenly said: "Miss Zhou, what is that on the back of your neck?"
"What's wrong with the back of my neck?"
Zhou Yue opened her collar a little and saw raised red lines on her fair skin.
It looked like blood vessels were holding up the skin and spreading up from the back.
"how so?"
The prince was also surprised and said: "Junior sister, why do you have so many red marks on your body? Are you poisoned?"
"Poisoned?"
Zhao Mu frowned and said, "Miss Zhou, come here and let me take a look."
"good."
Zhou Yue came over quickly and asked Zhao Mu to check his pulse.
"Three feet red?"
Zhao Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and let go of Zhou Yue's wrist.
"You were indeed poisoned, but the person who administered the poison combined it with other drugs to delay the onset of the toxin in your body."
"It's just that you used your energy and acupuncture just now, which in turn triggered the release of toxins. Think about it carefully, what did you eat today?"
"I haven't eaten anything!"
Zhou Yue said doubtfully: "I didn't even bother to eat this morning. I took the medicinal materials and went to see Sister Yuwen. By the way, I had a cup of tea after meeting my sister."
So, the problem lies with the Prince's Mansion?
The prince and He Minzhong looked at each other and saw the solemn look on the other's face.
Zhao Mu spoke again: "You two, can you also let me check your pulse?"
"good!"
The two hurriedly came over to check for pulse.
Soon, Zhao Mu came to a conclusion: "Sure enough, the two of you were also hit by the same delayed poisoning method. Young master, it seems that you need to have someone check the tea and food in the mansion."
The prince has realized the seriousness.
Since all three of them were poisoned, it means that someone poisoned the Prince's Mansion.
It is even possible that all the people in the Prince's Mansion are now poisoned.
The prince's expression was ugly: "Go, seal the entire mansion immediately. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"yes!"
He Minzhong took the order and immediately prepared to mobilize manpower.
But at this moment, fierce shouts of killing and screams suddenly came from all over the Prince's Mansion.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the prince's palace? How brave are you?"
"Kill, kill them quickly, rush in, and chop off the prince's head to receive the reward."
"No, stop them and protect the prince!"
"Hahaha, don't waste your efforts. You have all been poisoned. The prince is dead today."
The shouts of death were approaching quickly.
Suddenly the door to the palace was knocked open, and dozens of men in black rushed in.
Although there were many East Palace guards around, their hands and feet were weak and they were obviously poisoned, and they could not stop the other party at all.
The guards were chopped to the ground one by one, and the people in black quickly approached the bedroom.
He Minzhong's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stood in front of the prince: "Your Highness, I will escort you away."
At this moment, they no longer cared about hiding their identities in front of Zhao Mu.
"Hahaha, can you leave?"
Suddenly, dozens more men in black broke the windows and rushed in, blocking all escape routes around them.
"Prince, be careful."
Three or four sharp knives chopped off the prince's head at the same time.
He Minzhong immediately took action to resist, while Zhou Yue blocked Zhao Mu behind him.
"Miss Zhou, shouldn't you be protecting the prince at this time?" Zhao Mu asked in a low voice.
"Stop talking nonsense. Sister Yuwen still needs your treatment. You must not die at this time!"
While resisting the man in black, Zhou Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Are the people in the Prince's Mansion all trash? How could so many assassins sneak in without even noticing it in advance?"
"Haha, of course it's because there is a mole."
Zhao Mu chuckled.
