Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 541 Li Chu was poisoned again...

Even Li Mi and Guo Ziyi, two people who have been in official circles for many years, couldn't help but praise Shi Jian when they saw how he had just been interrogated.

Li Mi said, "I thought the Princess of Chu was exaggerating, but I didn't expect that although Miss Shi Jian is young, her interrogation methods are really sophisticated."

Guo Ziyi also echoed, "I think Miss Shi Jian's main goal is to observe carefully, understand what they are afraid of, and find their weaknesses so that you can hit them with one strike."

Shi Jian explained, "You two are too kind. It's probably because I look small and thin, so when I get ruthless, I can catch the prisoners off guard. My ruthlessness forms a sharp contrast with my appearance, which is why I can instill fear in them."

Li Neng interrupted their conversation and said, "Lord Li, Lord Guo, it's getting late, and you're injured. Go get some rest first! I'll go see how my brother is doing, and tell my sister-in-law about the interrogation."

Li Mi and Guo Ziyi, even though they hadn't finished chatting with Shi Jian, knew that Li Dan sounded like an order to expel them. They naturally said tactfully, "Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

Li Neng motioned for them to stand up, and then said, "Shi Jian, let's go."

Shi Jian bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

After saying that, the two of them left first and walked quickly back to the tent where Li Chu was.

Feng Shengyi saw the two men coming back and saluted, "This subordinate pays his respects to His Royal Highness Prince Jianning."

Li Neng motioned him to excuse himself, then asked, "How is my brother? Is he awake?"

Feng Shengyi shook his head and said, "Your Highness, not yet."

Li Neng was a little depressed, but he cheered up and said, "I will go in and take a look. Shi Jian, you come with me and report the interrogation to the queen's sister-in-law." Shi Jian agreed, and without saying anything to Feng Shengyi, he followed Li Neng into the tent.

Inside the tent, Dugu Jingyao was wiping Li Chu's face. After the two came in, they did not disturb her, but just watched quietly from the side. They did not salute until Dugu Jingyao stopped what she was doing.

Dugu Jingyao saw the slight smile on Li Neng's face and knew that the interrogation had probably yielded some results. So she asked, "No need to be so polite. Did you find out anything?"

Li Neng said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, you don't know. Shi Jian is so powerful. He forced the assassin leader to confess in no time."

Dugu Jingyao always believed in Shi Jian's ability to get things done. Dugu Jingyao asked, "Have you got a signed confession?"

Shi Jian handed the confession to Dugu Jingyao, who frowned slightly after reading it: "I think this person only told part of the truth."

Li Neng was a little puzzled and asked, "Sister-in-law, you weren't even there, how do you know he only told part of the truth?"

Dugu Jingyao said, "Based on his confession, he shouldn't be a member of the Li family. But if he really didn't know who the person behind the scenes was, he could have made up a pretext that the person behind the scenes never met with them directly, instead of saying that he had met the person behind the scenes and that it was a woman. So I suspect he knows who the person behind the scenes is, and it might be someone he is very familiar with, or someone he really wants to protect."

Li Neng felt like he had been tricked by them. He said angrily, "Great! How dare they hide something? I'll go find them right now!"

Dugu Jingyao finally understood why Li Neng was easily overthrown by Empress Zhang in his previous life. His personality is similar to Si Jian's!

She quickly stopped Li Neng and said, "Brother Neng, there's no need to go. Even if you ask Shi Jian to go with you, they already know the routine. As long as they persevere, you won't be able to get anything out of them."

Li Neng asked, "Sister-in-law, what should we do?"

Dugu Jingyao said, "It's okay. It's not too late to discuss their affairs after we return to Chang'an. We will find a way to make him tell the truth then. Brother Neng, you have all been traveling hard. Go and rest early."

Although Li Neng was still very curious, since Dugu Jingyao had said so, he did not want to ask any more questions. He just said, "Then sister-in-law should also make sure to rest. Don't wait until the emperor recovers and you fall ill again. Otherwise, I will be scolded by the emperor."

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Thank you, brother Dan. Don't worry, Shi Jian and Feng Shengyi are here. We can take turns guarding them."

Only then did Li Neng nod and leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave the tent, he heard Dugu Jingyao order Shi Jian: "Go and call Lin Zhihe, the imperial physician!"

Li Neng turned around and found that Li Chu had vomited blood. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Let Shi Jian stay here and I will go find Miss Murong and the imperial physician."

Dugu Jingyao didn't care about so much anymore and just said, "Thank you, brother."

Seeing Li Chu vomiting blood, she suddenly recalled that in her previous life, she had given Li Chu the "Yunnan Gu Poison" in order to force Shen Zhenzhu to leave. Wasn't that right? Lin Zhi had no reason to harm Li Chu, and the imperial physician was even more afraid to do so. It was also impossible for Feng Shengyi to regard Li Chu as his own brother. So who was it?

But now is not the time to think about this. Dugu Jingyao ordered again: "Shijian, ask Feng Shengyi to get the antidote pills. I suspect that the prince has been poisoned by the Yunnan Gu."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian did not dare to delay for even a moment and hurried to find Feng Shengyi to ask for medicine.

Meanwhile, Li Neng also rushed all the way to the outside of the imperial physician's tent and asked, "Has Imperial Physician Zhang rested?"

Hearing Li Neng's voice, Imperial Physician Zhang hurried out to greet him: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Jianning." Li Neng called out, and Imperial Physician Zhang asked: "Your Highness, what happened?"

Li Neng saw Doctor Zhang coming out and said, "Doctor Zhang, quickly take your medicine box and follow me."

Doctor Zhang saw Li Neng's anxiety, so he hurried into the tent, picked up the medicine box, and followed Li Neng all the way until they arrived at Murong Linzhi's tent.

Si Jian was standing guard at the door. Li Neng took a breath and asked, "Has Miss Murong rested?"

Si Jian said, "Your Highness, not yet. I will go and call Miss Murong right away."

This was the camp tent, and Murong Linzhi naturally overheard the conversation between Li Neng and Si Jian. Murong Linzhi stepped out and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Jianning. I see you and Imperial Physician Zhang are in such a hurry. What happened to the prince?"

Li Neng thought, maybe it's the woman he likes? She is smart, so he said: "Yes, my brother suddenly vomited blood for some reason, and the emperor's wife asked Miss Murong and Doctor Zhang to come over."

Hearing this, Murong Linzhi's face turned serious and he said, "Okay, I'll bring my medicine box with me right away."

After all, Si Jian was trained by Dugu Jingyao and Shi Jian, so he was quite perceptive. When Murong Linzhi turned around, Si Jian was already waiting for her with a medicine box.

Murong Linzhi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Si Jian."

Si Jian said, "Miss, you are embarrassing me. I will go with you."

Murong Linzhi said: "Okay, you haven't seen Jingyao and Shijian for a long time, let's go together."

Si Jian's face showed some joy. Just as Murong Linzhi was about to take the medicine box, Si Jian said, "Miss Murong, let me help you get the medicine box."

Murong Linzhi wanted to refuse, but found that Si Jian was too persistent and his grip was quite strong, so he said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Si Jian smiled and said, "No trouble, no trouble."

Li Neng was a little depressed. If Si Jian was diligent, he was a little too diligent. He just snatched away his chance to show off! But the most important thing now was Li Chu.

So he said, "Okay, okay, let's go quickly, the Empress's sister-in-law is almost dying of worry!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace and soon arrived at Li Chu's tent.

Because Feng Shengyi had just delivered the medicine, he replaced Shi Jian to guard the door. Seeing several people coming, Shi Jian said, "Please come in."

As soon as they entered, they saw Li Chu spitting out blood again. Doctor Zhang and Murong Linzhi were about to greet him when Dugu Jingyao said, "No need to be polite. Come and take a look at the prince. What's wrong with him? Why is he spitting blood for no reason?"

Doctor Zhang asked Murong Linzhi to treat him first, and Murong Linzhi didn't refuse. This was a matter of life and death. She stepped forward to feel the patient's pulse. After a moment, she frowned and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Chu has been poisoned."

Although Murong Linzhi had already given his conclusion, he still asked Imperial Physician Zhang to take his pulse. Sure enough, he came to the same conclusion. Zhang's face looked a little strange. He said, "If I'm not mistaken, Your Highness the Prince of Chu must have been poisoned by the Yunnan... Gu poison."

Although they all knew that the person who poisoned could not be Dugu Jingyao, Shijian and Sijian, there was still the Dugu family army!

Dugu Jingyao knew they would be suspicious, and it seemed the person behind the scenes was intent on muddying the waters. However, since it had been confirmed to be the Yunnan Gu poison, Dugu Jingyao said, "It just so happens that the medicine I brought for the prince contains an antidote."

After saying that, he took out a porcelain bottle containing the antidote and asked Doctor Zhang and Murong Linzhi to check it together. After they both confirmed that there was no problem, they fed it to Li Chu.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Chu's condition finally stabilized. Unexpectedly, after the poison was removed, Li Chu no longer had a fever.

But in order to find out the person behind the scenes as soon as possible, Dugu Jingyao discussed with them and decided to tell the outside world that Li Chu was found to be poisoned, with a high fever and his life in danger. If there was someone behind the scenes, the news would definitely be spread. They hoped to use this to lure out the murderer.
