Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 262 The Poisoner

The Inner Guard Mansion was still crowded with people, but those experts were gone, replaced by the best medical officers in the Holy City.

"My lord..." Seeing Xu Zun's return, Huo Anu immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it, the Queen Mother is looking for you, and asked you to thoroughly investigate this case?"

"Where's Zhao Yu?" Xu Zun didn't answer Huo Anu's question.

"He..." Huo Anu replied, "He followed Hou Zhen and the others to interrogate that Luo Jia! My lord, the facts couldn't be more obvious, the Taoist assassination is definitely not just an assassination."

"How is Ku Niang?" Xu Zun asked again, "Didn't I ask you to take care of her?"

"Oh, Ani is treating her wound," Huo Anu pointed to the innermost room, "Bitter mother is seriously injured, not only the internal and external injuries are serious, but also seems to be poisoned!"

"Ah?" Xu Zun was very worried, and quickly walked into the room.

But I saw that Ani and two other medical officers were sent to diagnose and treat Ku Niang.

"My lord..." Like Huo Anu, the first thing Ani did when she saw Xu Zun was to ask the Empress Dowager for any instructions. Do you want Xu Zun to thoroughly investigate the case?

"Bitter mother..." Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Well, it is indeed poisoned," Ani said, "I know some detoxification prescriptions, but I don't know if it is effective for the bitter mother? So... Let's ask these doctors for consultation!"

Xu Zun came closer, but saw Ku Niang unconscious on the bed, just like the first time he saw her, motionless, he didn't even know if she was still breathing?
"Doctor," Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "how is she?"

"Well..." One of the medical officers frowned and said, "Her external injuries are not serious, but this internal injury, tsk tsk..."

"My lord," another medical officer said, "The poisonousness of the heroine is rare in the world, the two of us are really powerless!

"However, judging from the woman's pulse, it seems... that the poison can't fully take effect, so... we really can't say what happened to her."

"We want to prescribe some medicines for detoxification and breathing adjustment for her, but her pulse condition is different from ordinary people," said the previous medical center shaking his head, "We dare not use it indiscriminately!"

"Yes," Ani nodded, "They're right. I also feel that if Ku Niang hadn't been seriously injured, the poison wouldn't have killed her, but now it looks like it's hard to say."

"No way?" Xu Zun was in a hurry, "I've been talking for a long time, so whether Ku Niang can get better or not depends entirely on her luck?"

"This..." The three of them didn't dare to make another sound.

"My lord," Huo Anu persuaded, "I've heard of the Zhao family's Jin Yidan, which is called the life-saving pill and is very famous in the world.

"Besides, Ku Niang is extremely skilled in martial arts, so she shouldn't be in danger of her life. I don't think she will be able to heal herself without taking medicine."

"Alas..." Xu Zun squatted in front of Ku Niang, and gently touched her forehead.

Ku Niang's hair has grown a lot, black and shiny, but the scalded scar on the top of her head and the scar on her cheek are still eye-catching.

If not, Ku Niang should be a more beautiful girl.

"Ani," Xu Zun urged, "Take care of Ku Niang and make sure nothing happens to her!"

"Yes!" Annie quickly agreed.

Everyone knew that if Ku Niang hadn't made a move in the main hall of Wanfu Palace, the Empress Dowager Lin would have suffered a tragic accident.

So indirectly speaking, it was Ku Niang who saved everyone.

Today, Xu Zun has no doubts about Ani anymore, so he can assign her tasks with confidence.

"You two," Xu Zun saw that Huo Anu and Ani had not had time to treat his injuries, and immediately ordered, "Let the doctors diagnose and treat you immediately without delay."

Indeed, in this tragic fight, Huo Anu and A Ni were also seriously injured, especially A Ni, her left arm was almost pierced by a sharp sword.

"Don't worry, my lord," Ani nodded and said, "Sister Anu and I are fine, we are both traumatized, just deal with each other's wounds."

"My lord," Huo Anu pulled Xu Zun aside, and asked again, "You haven't told us how to deal with this catastrophe!
"What will the Queen Mother give you?"

"You guessed it right," Xu Zun nodded and said, "The Empress Dowager asked me to thoroughly investigate the case and find out who is behind the scenes!"

"Sure enough, but..." Ani whispered, "The man behind the scenes seems to be someone who knows something about the palace!"

"And, according to the principle of benefit," Huo Anu lowered his voice, "How do you feel that the emperor..."

"Hush!" Xu Zun quickly stopped and said, "During this critical time, don't talk nonsense!"

"My lord..." Huo Anu said, "Just now Zhao Yu was still saying that this is a mess that can't be cleaned up at all, and whoever picks it up will be unlucky.

"But, he said it again," Huo Anu continued, "You must accept it, because the Empress Dowager wants to find an outsider to handle this matter.

"If you deal with an extreme minister well, you will take the blame if you deal with it badly..."

"This guy..." Xu Zun frowned and complained, "Where did you get so many words of suffering!"

"But..." Huo Anu said worriedly, "This case involves the royal family, we can't even enter the palace, how can we investigate?"

"I think what Zhao Yu said is right." Ani's face was full of sorrow, "Although the military camp has captured many Taoist spies, it is impossible for them to know the inside story, and even that Luo Jia may not have much hope.

"Besides," she said looking at Xu Zun, "I'm even worried that they will take me out, after all, I used to be from the Taoist sect, and that female Daoist is still my master..."

"Wait..." Xu Zun suddenly thought of something, he pressed A Ni's shoulder and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Oh……"

Ani's shoulders sank in pain, Xu Zun realized that he touched the wrong place, and hurriedly bowed to apologize.

"I said, I was worried that they would arrest me for interrogation, but..." Ani thought of something, "Fortunately, this case is investigated by you, maybe..."

"It's not this sentence," Xu Zun reminded, "It's from the front. You just said that you caught the spies?"

"Yes," Ani nodded, "Just now I heard from the internal guards that they caught many poisoners according to the list of the official servant Yan Hai."

"The poisoner..." Xu Zun savored it carefully, as if he had caught something.

"My lord," Huo Anu asked, "do you think something is wrong? Those spies must be small characters hired by the Taoist sect, how could they know the high-level secrets of the Taoist sect?"

"No..." Xu Zun pondered and said, "I don't want to talk about these little characters, Ani," he asked Ani, "Can those drugs that can make people go crazy change their traits?
"Like making it into a cake, or something else?"

"No," said Ani, waving her hand, "Every pill of that kind has a dose, and it cannot be made into something bigger.

"However..." She shook her head again and said, "I don't know if Master has improved again! But as far as I know, it shouldn't work, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine."

"That is to say," Xu Zun said, "the madness medicine must be sent to the barracks in the form of pills?"

"That's not necessarily true, is it?" Huo Anu said, "Isn't it enough to hide among the rice and vegetables? The important thing is that they have placed internal agents, and these internal agents are all members of the military camp, so... eh? Hey eh... "

Before Huo Anu finished speaking, he saw Xu Zun running out in a hurry...
