After Shen Ruoxi slowly finished her breakfast, she went to the front hall.

Murong Heng was the only one in the huge living room.

He was sitting on the mahogany chair in the hall, holding his head on one hand with cold white jade fingers, looking in the direction of the door.

It's as leisurely as if you were at home.

Shen Ruoxi walked in, a little confused.

"My father hasn't gone to court yet?"

"It's probably fallen."

Murong Heng showed a slight smile: "But there are many bureaucrats in the court. Maybe one of my colleagues was dragged to chat, which wasted time?"

Shen Ruoxi:...

It was obvious that Shen Tianrong wouldn't be able to come back for a while.

There were only two of them now, and Shen Ruoxi didn't have so many false gifts.

She raised her beautiful eyes slightly, glanced at Murong Heng, and then said.

"Come with me."

With that said, he took the lead in the direction of the backyard.

Murong Heng followed obediently.

The two arrived at a room in the backyard. Shen Ruoxi reached out and opened the door.

A smell of medicinal herbs hits you.

Murong Heng raised his eyes and saw a whole wall of Chinese medicine cabinets opposite, with the names of Chinese medicinal materials on each small grid.

There are two rows of bookshelves on the left side of the room. There are some books on the shelves. If you scan them briefly, they should be medical books and the like.

On the right side are some tools such as silver needles and zigzag plates.

The whole room is almost like a small medical clinic.

Shen Ruoxi walked in first and motioned for him to sit on the chair in the center of the room.

Leng Ye followed, a little surprised.

"Miss Shen, do you still have this place in the house?"

"This is what my mother left behind."

Shen Ruoxi responded.

Her mother was a medical woman. She built this place in the general's mansion and often treated nearby people.

When she was very young, he took her here to learn about medicines and diagnoses, and taught her medical skills step by step.

This room had been abandoned for many years since her mother's death.

It was renovated recently after she came back.

Murong Heng sat on the chair and picked up a medical book next to him.

The book is very old, already stained with yellow pages, and obviously has some age.

After opening it, he saw the character illustrations inside, with some beards and hair added with a brush, and the whole character suddenly looked extremely funny.

He couldn't help but curl his lips.

The soft and lively little girl in my memory suddenly became vivid again.

Leng Ye looked around, and then became curious.

"Miss Shen, why did you ask the master to come here?"

After that, he clapped his hands and his eyes were bright: "I knew it. Have you found a way to save the master?"

"No, I just want to give His Highness some acupuncture and help him recuperate."

Shen Ruoxi looked at Taoye and Lengshuang beside her: "You guys go out first."

Murong Heng turned his head and looked at Leng Ye.

"You go out too."

cold night:……

Are you taking this opportunity to be alone?

Row.

He leaves.

Several people turned around and walked out, Leng Ye walking at the back.

When leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door for them.

After the others left, Murong Heng stretched out his hand and placed it on his waist, as if to untie the belt of the python robe.

Shen Ruoxi looked stunned.

"what are you doing?"

"Acupuncture, you said it."

Shen Ruoxi:...

"Calm down, there's no need to take off your clothes."

Murong Heng's eyes flashed with an appraising look.

Then he moved his finger away 5 and asked.

"You sent everyone away. What do you want to say to me?"

Shen Ruoxi nodded slowly.

Then he lowered his voice.

"Your Highness, I think... you may have been poisoned."

Murong Heng's fingertips placed on the edge of the table paused.

"Is there any evidence?"

"That's why I asked you to come here."

Shen Ruoxi looked solemn: "Has Your Highness heard of the strange poison in the world, 'Jiu Ye'?"

Murong Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slowly shook his head.

Shen Ruoxi sighed in her heart.

Also.

If he had heard of it, he would have probably sent someone to investigate.

She approached Murong Heng and explained "Jiu Ye" to him.

After listening, Murong Heng's expression condensed slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"If that's the case, that means someone has been poisoning me for many years?"

"good."

Murong Heng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

After a while, he said in a deep voice.

"Sure enough."

Shen Ruoxi was stunned.

"Is it possible that you knew you were poisoned?"

Murong Heng's elegant and noble face revealed a smile without warmth.

"I know my own body well. Those losers from the Imperial Hospital have been insisting for so many years that I am getting weaker because of my poor health and bones, thinking that they can really fool me."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

"I have always been strict about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but I have still been poisoned for so long."

There was a time when he was sensitive and violent, and executed many suspected people in private.

But this so-called "disease" is still not cured.

As time passed, he gradually calmed down, but he just refused to trust anyone around him.

Over the years, he followed all the suspects and finally got a clue.

The latest intelligence points the finger at Yaowang Valley.

But by coincidence, Bai Luo from Yaowang Valley appeared in the General's Mansion.

"Actually, I don't blame His Highness for not being able to find out."

Shen Ruoxi spoke, interrupting his thoughts.

Murong Heng raised his head and met Shen Ruoxi's clear autumn eyes.

She said: "'Jiu Ye' has been lost for a long time. It is estimated that not many people in the world know about it. If you don't know, how can you guard against it?"

Murong Heng was a little surprised.

"Then how do you know?"

"My mother told me." Shen Ruoxi said briefly, revealing the two pear dimples on her cheeks, her stunning face showing a bit of coquettishness, "My mother loved to tell me some strange poisons in the world when she was little. I Once you hear it once, you won’t forget it.”

"Then your mother is a strange woman."

"Yes, she's very beautiful. I heard that my father fell off a cliff while fighting on the border and narrowly escaped death. He met my mother. My mother saved him. My father fell in love with my mother at first sight and they got married."

Murong Heng's eyes showed a hint of inquiry.

"It seems that I have never heard of the origin of the general's wife."

"I don't know my mother's identity, but she is probably just an ordinary medical woman."

Shen Ruoxi looked at Murong Heng and straightened her expression.

"Your Highness King Ling, if you believe me, then let me try to see if you really hit the 'Jiu Ye'."

She took out the silver needle and said truthfully.

"I am going to use silver needles to pierce a few of your key acupuncture points. During this process, you cannot move. If I have other intentions, you will die immediately in my hands."

Murong Heng said nothing.

Shen Ruoxi's heart sank slightly.

But he was relieved soon.

She suddenly left Murong Yu and fell into his arms. It was sudden in the first place, and Murong Heng was quite wary, so it was understandable that he didn't completely trust her now.

She said: "Then how about..."

"can."

Murong Heng interrupted her, he raised his head and looked into her eyes.

"I believe you."
