It took nearly a quarter of an hour before Ruan Tang and Tana came out of the water.
This place is a river, in the northwest direction of Jinganhou Mansion, about 200 meters away from Jinganhou Mansion.
After Ruan Tang and Tana climbed ashore, they went directly into a nearby woods. In the woods, they lit a fire and dried their clothes before walking toward the street together.
When we got to the main street, we rented a carriage and got dressed like a doctor before going to Prince Ning's Mansion.
Before arriving at Prince Ning's Mansion, I saw from a distance that the palace was heavily guarded. From time to time, some people dressed as doctors would come out of it.
But everyone seemed to have a solemn look on their face.
Before Ruan Tang and the others came here, they made special inquiries.
The imperial physicians in the palace and well-known doctors in the capital all went to Prince Ning's Mansion, but no one could diagnose the poison that Prince Ning was poisoned with.
Helpless, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to offer a reward. Anyone with medical skills could come to Prince Ning's Mansion and give it a try. If he could detoxify Prince Ning, he would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold.
Not to mention anything else, the bounty alone is enough to make Ruan Tang hungry to death.
The closer she got to the palace, the more she felt the bounty waving to her.
Soon, the two carriages stopped at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Ruan Tang and Tana strutted towards the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.
However, he was soon stopped by the guards guarding the gate.
"We are here to diagnose and treat Prince Ning." Ruan Tang acted like a doctor, standing upright with his hands behind his back, as if he was fully sure of Prince Ning's poison.
The guards looked at the two of them, then pointed to a place inside the door and said: "Go in for the assessment. Only after passing the exam can you go in for pulse diagnosis."
Ruan Tang didn't expect that there was such a level, and was a little confused for a moment.
She's not a serious doctor. Wouldn't she betray her during the assessment?
But you’ve come here, if you back down now, will you be arrested?
Just when Ruan Tang hesitated, Tana took her hand and walked in.
The two came to the assessment office and saw a table there, with an old man with a white beard in front of it.
There are various medicinal materials on the table.
When the old man saw the two people coming over, he didn't waste any time and directly told the examination questions.
"The assessment criteria are very simple. If you can identify all the medicinal materials on the table, you can enter."
All you need to do is name the medicinal materials. This is a very simple question.
But Ruan Tang frowned.
In her eyes, these things were just flowers and plants, and she didn't recognize any of them.
She was thinking, this old man is so old, would it be faster to knock him out and go in directly?
But there were many guards patrolling, and if he were to be knocked unconscious, he would probably be discovered immediately, which would be a dead end.
However, Tana had already begun to identify the medicinal materials on the table one by one when Ruan Tang was thinking about the trick.
"Fangfeng, Atractylodes, skullcap, red peony root, Chuanqiong, Duhuo, Polygonum..."
Ruan Tang on the side was immediately stunned by her. She even wondered if Tana was talking nonsense.
But the old man stroked his beard and nodded, as if he was agreeing with Tana.
In just a moment, Tana explained all the medicinal ingredients.
The old man was very satisfied, but couldn't help but pick up one of the plants and said, "Does that girl know the effects of this medicinal herb?"
"Atractylodes macrocephala returns to the spleen and stomach meridians, nourishes qi and strengthens the spleen, removes dampness and diuresis. When combined with skullcap, it has the effect of anti-fetus."
"What about this smell?"
"Black bone vine is cool in nature and has the effect of relieving congestion and activating blood circulation. It can be combined with Duhuo and Achyranthes bidentata for better results."
(The above description is not professional, please do not mix and match by yourself.)
The old man stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
"You can go in."
After saying that, a guard came and took the two of them into Prince Ning's Mansion.
Ruan Tang was familiar with this place and knew that the direction they were going was Canglang Garden.
Ruan Tang looked left and right as she walked. When she reached the entrance of Canglang Garden, she finally saw Nan Feng.
When passing by Nanfeng, she suddenly stood still and called Nanfeng: "Master Butler."
Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw it was Ruan Tang, he almost peed in fear.
Why is this woman so brave?
Didn't the Empress Dowager already order the siege of Jing'an Marquis Mansion? How dare she show up here? Are you really not afraid of death?
Ruan Tang saw that Nan Feng was very frightened by him and said quickly: "I have a way to save His Highness, are you willing to help me?"
When Nanfeng heard that she could be saved, there was nothing he wouldn't do to help.
Nodding repeatedly, "What do you want Miss Ruan to do?"
"Take me to the dungeon of your palace. Someone there may be able to save your highness."
When she said this, Nan Feng suddenly thought of her followers, as if there was indeed one among them who was proficient in medical skills.
It's just that so many imperial doctors and famous doctors are helpless. Can one of her followers really be that capable?
"You don't believe it? The person I'm talking about is my follower, Ling Qing. He is a master of poison making. In this world, the only poisons he can't detoxify are the ones he has newly developed. For him, the others are Don't worry, just trust me for once."
"Even if you don't believe it, isn't there no other way now? Then let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. Maybe we can really cure him?"
Nan Feng broke into a cold sweat when he heard her words, "A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor".
If the Empress Dowager heard this, she would probably drag her out and chop her up, right?
But what she said makes sense. Now that everyone is at a loss, we might as well give it a try. What if it is really cured?
Nanfeng no longer hesitated and took the two of them towards the dungeon.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the dungeon.
As soon as he entered the dungeon, Ruan Tang ran inside by familiar means. When he saw several people sitting or lying in the cell, tears filled his eyes and he almost cried.
Chunhan discovered Ruan Tang first. She was shocked at first and couldn't believe it.
When Ruan Tang ran to the door of the cell and reached out to her through the wooden pillar, she staggered up from the ground and ran over to hold Ruan Tang's hand.
"Miss, miss..."
Chunhan burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, I came to you now, you won't blame me, right?" Ruan Tang's eyes were red, holding back tears.
Chunhan shook his head and was already crying so much that he couldn't speak.
When the three people in the other cell heard Chunhan's cry, they all got up from the ground.
Xiaofeng and Ling Qing also had red eyes, only Qingfeng looked at Ruan Tang coldly.
"I thought you went out to eat and drink and forgot about us?" Qingfeng couldn't help but start poking Ruan Tang's lung tube.
Prince Ning is also a dog. He is forced to take medicine every day, which makes him almost a cripple now.
"How could it be? If I forget anyone, I can't forget you!"
Ruan Tang didn't care. Qingfeng just had a bad mouth and had no bad intentions.
But she was quite surprised that the cell in Prince Ning's Mansion was quite strong, and even Qingfeng could be locked up here for so long.
"Then when are you going to get me out? There are so many rats and mosquitoes in this damn place that my body stinks."
"Hurry up, hurry up, be patient."
With that said, Ruan Tang walked up to Ling Qing.
"I'm here now to find Ling Qing to save people. If he is saved this time, you can all get out."
When Ling Qing heard this, she was naturally excited.
If he was only allowed to save a few people, he would be able to get them out of this troubled place, and he would heal them all even if they were dead.
Ruan Tang stopped talking nonsense and asked Nanfeng to open the door of the cell where Ling Qing was.
She took Ling Qing's hand, and then said to the others: "If you feel wronged again, I will come to save you right away."
Afterwards, she took Ling Qing and Tana with Nanfeng and returned to Canglang Garden.
When they arrived at the courtyard of Canglangyuan, Nanfeng asked them to wait outside while he went in to report.
Ever since Chu Mu was rescued, the Empress Dowager had been staying by his side, unwilling to leave even if her body was exhausted.
Soon Nan Feng came out again and nodded towards Ruan Tang: "Miss Ruan, you can go in."
Then Nanfeng took them in together.
When he walked into the inner room and saw the familiar environment, some pictures suddenly flashed through Ruan Tang's mind and he couldn't help but blush.
But when she saw the Empress Dowager lying on the beauty's couch, she immediately calmed down and felt a little dirty.
However, the Empress Dowager was not in good spirits either. Lying on the couch, her whole body was gloomy and the look on her face was gloomy.
When several of them saluted her, she didn't even raise her eyes, but weakly waved her hand to let them get up.
She didn't say anything to them, and just let Nanfeng take them to Chu Mu's bed.
Those who can come in here have passed the external assessment and the temptation of Nanfeng, otherwise they will not be able to come in here.
Therefore, she would not take a second look.
When he stood next to the familiar Babu bed and saw the dying and lifeless man lying on it, Ruan Tang couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
This man was even scarier than when she saw him that night.
It had only been two or three days, but he already looked haggard, with sunken eye sockets and dark lips. He looked like a person who was about to die, lifeless at all.
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall in his chest, she would have thought he was dead.
Ling Qing sat down by the bed, took his hand directly, and placed it on his pulse.
Ling Qing's face was solemn throughout the whole process. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Ruan Tang.
But just as he spoke, Tana beside him also spoke, and they both said almost in unison: "Sunda Insect Gu."
After the words fell, Ling Qing was startled and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Tana who was standing next to Ruan Tang.
"Why do you know?" He didn't even know it until he took his pulse, but she already knew what the poison was without even taking her pulse.
"The Sunda Insect Gu is a poison from the Western Regions. My father and I have been to the Western Regions before, and we were lucky enough to see it. The symptoms of the poisoned person were very similar to this person's, so I made a bold guess."
Not to mention Ling Qing was surprised, Ruan Tang was also surprised.
She thought that Tana just knew those herbs and might not know about detoxification. Unexpectedly, she could tell what kind of poison Chu Mu had been poisoned just by looking at it.
"Then do you have an antidote?" Ruan Tang held Tana's hand.
The Queen Mother, who was lying on the beauty's couch, also heard their words and sat up from the couch regardless of her weakness.
Then he looked at them eagerly.
Ruan Tang also came into contact with the Empress Dowager's gaze and felt a sudden pressure in his heart.
What if there is no antidote?
