Although when I returned to the village house, it was already half dark.

But even so, the time before dawn was still very long for Mu Rong.

Xu Rongrong slept very well, keeping the same position as when she first fell asleep, without moving.

This was not the first time that Mu Rong had seen her sick, but no matter what time it was, it was never as scary as it was now.

Seeing her purple complexion and her unusually high body temperature, Mu Rong's face was also covered with a layer of blue-gray color.

He held Xu Rongrong's hand tightly, feeling her unbalanced body temperature. No matter how hard he tried, the hand in his palm remained as cold as ever.

His lips were pursed tightly, and there were still blood stains on his face and hands. It was shocking to see him in the dim light.

Luo Shu couldn't stand it any longer and advised: "Miss, there are slaves and Wen Yao guarding the place. The Marquis should take care of his injuries first."

"No need." He didn't even raise his head, looking intently at the girl on the bed, afraid of missing any of her movements.

Finally, there was a strange sound outside the door.

Mu Rong's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened up, and the next moment he appeared outside the room.

The darkness before dawn often brings a sense of despair and loneliness.

Today, especially.

A figure fell heavily into the courtyard, it was Mu Lu, and he was carrying someone on his back.

"Sir, my subordinate has brought the royal doctor."

The bumpy journey from the capital to the house shook the palace doctor to pieces. If Mu Lu hadn't been able to carry him steadily, he would have collapsed.

He raised his head and saw Mu Rong standing in front of him with an embarrassed look. He immediately got off Mu Lu's back and wiped his face carelessly with his sleeves: "I'm the official..."

"Without courtesy, go in and see her." Mu Rong interrupted him.

"Yes!" The palace doctor did not dare to delay.

In Xu Rongrong's room, three carbon basins were glowing with red flames, but even so, they still could not resist the faint chill in the room.

"This..." The doctor in the palace didn't know well, so he quickly sat in front of Xu Rongrong's bed and felt the pulse together.

However, Xu Rongrong's pulse condition was so complex that it was rare for a royal doctor to do so. His fingers were on Xu Rongrong's wrist, almost freezing.

As we get to the back, the detection of the pulse becomes weaker and weaker.

There were large beads of sweat on his forehead. He had excellent medical skills. Although he did not work in the Imperial Hospital, the nobles in the capital knew about his reputation.

He had checked countless pulses of nobles in the capital, but Xu Rongrong made him feel different.

When he first met her, her malnutrition and her experiences in the mansion made him feel sad.

Later, she used Xu Liu's poisoning to completely eliminate her biggest threat in the Xu family. He sighed at her "rebellious" courage.

He also heard about what she did for the people of Yuzhou in Jiangnan.

This is the kind of girl who looks like this now...

And he was helpless!

"Please forgive me for my incompetence!" The palace doctor looked ashamed.

When Mu Rong heard this, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master Hou!"

"Father!"

Everyone exclaimed that the royal doctor was busy trying to treat him.

Mu Rong raised his hand to stop him: "It doesn't matter."

That night, Mu Rong's energy was damaged too much. Just now, he had consumed most of his internal energy just to give Xu Rong the cold. Therefore, when he suddenly heard the news that Xu Rong had no medical treatment, he couldn't resist it for a while, and that's why he was like this.

Mu Ai was the one who understood the situation of his Marquis best, and he quickly comforted him:

"Don't be too anxious! Luo Chen is taking Doctor Shu on his way back. He has superb medical skills, so he will definitely have a solution."

Mu Lu also nodded repeatedly: "His footsteps are slightly slower than those of his subordinates, but he should be there soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shu Qing, accompanied by Luo Chen, hurrying into the yard.

The two of them were also as embarrassed as the royal doctor.

"How is the county master?" When Shu Qing spoke, his voice was hoarse.

On the way here, Luo Chen had already described most of Xu Rongrong's symptoms. Shu Qing had never heard of this situation, so he asked Mu Rong: "Is your body still as cold as ice now?"

Mu Rong nodded.

Shu Qing didn't dare to delay and stepped forward immediately.

Seeing Xu Rongrong's face, he knew why there was such a solemn atmosphere in the room.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind a little, and then placed his cold fingers on Xu Rongrong's equally cold wrist veins.

Gradually... an incredible look appeared on his tired face.

When Luo Chen described it before, he just thought that these people cared too much about Xu Rongrong, so they made a fuss.

After all, how could such a strange disease exist?

But now, he knew that what Luo Chen said was true...

He had never encountered such a weird pulse. If she was seriously ill, her pulse was extremely strong, no less than that of a young man. But if she was perfectly fine, how could she look so cold to the bone?

He closed his eyes, and his whole body seemed to sink into this pulse.

The royal doctor also gathered around, and when he checked the county chief's pulse, the further he got to the back, the more he couldn't feel the pulse due to the cold.But how could the doctor in front of him persist for so long?

After a long time, Shu Qing slowly opened his eyes.

"How?" Mu Rong looked at him, hope shining in his eyes.

The person in front of him was Shu Qing, who was later hailed as one of the five most extraordinary doctors in the capital.

If even he couldn't do it...he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Shu Qing said slowly: "The county master is infected with a strange poison."

"Poisoned?" Mu Rong frowned deeply, "Do you know what kind of poison it is?"

Shu Qing shook his head: "It is precisely because I have never seen this kind of poison in my life that I call it a strange poison."

"What damage will this poison do to Rong Rong?" Mu Rong asked.

"Although it won't cause immediate death, but... I'm afraid if this continues, the county master's body won't survive ten days."

"Ten days?" Mu Rong's eyes narrowed, "Is there any solution?"

Shu Qing thought for a long time and finally shook his head: "If we want to detoxify, we need to find out what kind of poison is in the county master's body."

"Rong Rong's mount was also poisoned and died. Can we find out something from this?"

Shu Qing's eyes lit up: "Where is the mount?"

Mu Ai hurriedly stepped forward: "It's in the backyard. I'll take you there."

At this time, the sky was already dark, and when Shu Qing left, the royal doctor also followed him.

For doctors, the more skilled a person is, the more they regard learning and exploration as their lifelong pursuit.

On the way to the backyard, the palace doctor asked: "The county owner's pulse is strong. How did you find out that she was poisoned?"

Shu Qing has always been aloof and arrogant. In the past, he would have dismissed strangers' questions. But now, when he turned around and saw the royal doctor, he knew that he also came overnight for Xu Rongrong, so he was a little more cautious. patience:

"I just spent a stick of incense diagnosing the pulse, and the county master's pulse condition strengthened a little bit within this stick of incense. If things continue like this, within ten days, the county master will die suddenly due to excessive pulse. If this happens to ordinary people, if it is not caused by poisoning, I can't think of any other explanation."

"I see, sir, you are so smart!" The doctor from the palace took half a step back, "My surname is Wang, and I am a doctor in the Minister's Office of the Ministry of Industry. Please give me your advice, sir."

"Oh." Shu Qing heard this and replied in a muffled voice, "My name is Shu Qing."
