Chapter 28 Cold Poison
  The light of the candle hit Ning Muqing's face. Xiao Jiang moved his head to look at her, expecting to see her covered with injuries after being interrogated and struggling to stand up.

Who knew that Ning Muqing was not only intact, but also had a smile on her face, as if she was watching a joke.

"Bah! Bad luck!" Xiao Jiang's expression changed.

Since he was imprisoned in the dungeon, he has been locked up and restricted in movement for a long time. Every time he comes back from interrogation, he is covered in blood.

Chu Lixuan refused to let him die, so he locked him up and tortured him, making his life worse than death.

Ning Muqing smiled and said, "Just see clearly. You must know that sometimes people are different."

This sentence, which Ning Muqing used to retaliate against Xiao Jiang for pulling her down before, was not comparable to that of Ning Rourou.

Xiao Jiang also understood and began to curse, "The villain has gained power, a group of bastards who only know how to follow others' influence. If you are polite to you and look at your smug look, you will become like me in a few days."

Ning Muqing curled her lips at Xiao Jiang with disdain in her eyes.

The dungeon was so gloomy and cold that one's bones were trembling.

She lay back on the simple bed filled with straw, covered herself with a quilt that was not enough to keep out the cold, and began to think about what she should do next.

The time limit agreed with Chu Lixuan was three days.

If she loses, she will be left to Chu Lixuan's disposal. Will Chu Lixuan continue to give her a chance to negotiate terms?
  In comparison, the verbal dispute with Xiao Jiang became completely unimportant.

He has now become a prisoner of Chu Lixuan. He has no capital and it is impossible to play chess with Chu Lixuan again.

Ning Muqing had no time to pay attention to a loser's words to vent his emotions, so he thought it was a nasty mosquito screaming in his ear.

The more Xiao Jiang scolded, the more excited he became. Seeing that Ning Muqing didn't respond, he thought he didn't scold him harshly enough, so he cursed more dirty words, his throat was about to smoke, but Ning Muqing didn't pay attention to him at all.

Xiao Jiang said angrily, "Are you deaf and can't hear me?"

He could hardly bear the pain and itching on his body, and he hated Ning Muqing in his heart. However, Ning Muqing had no intention of paying attention to her, and he felt that it was pointless to continue scolding her like this.

I can only continue to lie on the ground and rub my body against the ground, hoping that this will relieve the itching.

He couldn't ignore the feeling in his body and forced himself to fall asleep as soon as possible.

The night was dark.

Everything in Prince Ning's Mansion fell silent from the surface to the underground. .

Although Ning Muqing is very cold now, her whole body is cold and she can't feel any warmth in her limbs, but she is too tired today and soon fell into Mengxiang.

Only four people couldn't sleep——

Xiao Jiang, Yue Lin, Zhao Sijing and Ning Wang Chu Lixuan.

The first three people couldn't sleep because their bodies were itchy due to the oleander powder.

But Chu Lixuan was because of the cold.

"Your Majesty, the earth dragon has burned to its peak, and eight more braziers have been added. How do you feel now?"

Chai Yanre was sweating all over his face and could only wait outside the house.

At this time, Chu Lixuan was lying on the bed. The firelight was flashing in the room. The temperature had reached its highest point. He was also wrapped in ten quilts, but he still felt like he was shivering all over.

The extreme cold and coldness penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the pain penetrated the nerves, tormenting every foot and every inch of him.

He tried to use his internal energy to keep himself warm, but when the internal energy entered his body, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any use.

Chu Lixuan ordered people to add a brazier to him, but it was of no use.

This coldness is an uncontrollable tremor brought deep in the bone marrow.

"Add three more braziers to me." Chu Lixuan wrapped the quilt tightly and said coldly.

Chai Yan's face changed with fright, "Your Majesty, it's a little hotter in your house now than when the sun is at its worst in summer. If it keeps getting hotter, something will happen!"

"Add!" Chu Lixuan's tone left no room for doubt.

Chai Yan did not dare to disobey the prince's order. After ordering people to add the brazier, he hurriedly asked Doctor Xiao to come over.

Dr. Xiao said with a calm face, "Five years ago, during the Battle of Turin with the Chen State, the prince was poisoned by the cold poison of the Chen State's poison doctor. Although he was treated in time and the cold poison was removed, he was still left with cold bones and suffered from colds. Take good care of yourself and don't get cold, the prince has relapsed into an old injury!"

"But it's the beginning of June and it's midsummer. Where does the cold come from?" Chai Yan asked confused.

Chu Lixuan was lying on the bed when he heard the noise and said impatiently, "What are you doing standing still? Come in quickly and prescribe medicine for me!"

Doctor Xiao has been responsible for taking care of Chu Lixuan's body and knows his physical condition very well.

After checking his pulse quickly, he said, "Your Majesty, the cold poison has been removed long ago, but your body will still be damaged if you catch cold. Now your body is cold, so you just need to keep out the cold."

Speaking of which, Dr. Xiao was also very surprised, "It's just the height of summer, how can you catch cold? Moreover, there are earth dragons and braziers in this room, so why is your cold syndrome still not relieved at all?"

Chu Lixuan's expression changed slightly and he felt relieved.

It was a sunny day in mid-summer in June. He opened the earth dragon and used a brazier. There was no such thing as cold.

Then there is only one possibility.

Ning Muqing caught a cold, which affected him, causing the sequelae left by the cold poison in the past.

Now that I think about it, this is indeed the case. The air in the dungeon where Ning Muqing is is cold. They now have the same perception. Ning Muqing's cold is his cold.

So now Chu Lixuan has a doubt.

The reason why Ning Muqing was sure that he would take her out within three days - was it because he had known for a long time that he had the sequelae of cold poison?

is it possible?

The fact that he had been exposed to cold poison was a secret. Apart from Dr. Xiao and his imperial brother, only a few generals who accompanied the army in the war knew about it.

Chu Lixuan didn't think anyone would leak secrets to Ning Muqing. After all, these people were absolutely trustworthy and loyal. The point was that no one had any reason to share such secrets with Ning Muqing.

Even if you say it, so what?

Then there is only one possibility - Ning Muqing knows medical skills.

Otherwise, how could she know his physical condition when no one leaked the secret?

Compared to feeling cold and trembling now, Chu Lixuan was more interested in whether Ning Muqing was proficient in medical skills.

In the dungeon, Ning Muqing "swore" that he would take her out within three days. He just felt that this woman was talking nonsense, but now he realized that she seemed not as stupid as he seemed.

This woman obviously still has many secrets that have not been discovered!
  Chu Lixuan Junhan's face became even colder. He stood up and walked out, saying, "Go to the dungeon to interrogate Ning Muqing."

……

in the dungeon.

Ning Muqing fell asleep, the candles hanging on the wall gradually burned out, and the night became deeper and deeper.

Xiao Jiang, who was in the cell opposite, was tossing and turning in a low voice, looking at the sleeping Ning Muqing, his eyes filled with quenched hatred.

There were hurried footsteps in the cell corridor, and the light of torches woke up the other people in the cell.

Before the prisoner could get upset, Zhong Li rushed to the door of Ning Muqing's cell and ordered his men, "What are you doing standing still? Open the door quickly."

The jailer was so busy that he almost inserted it into the wrong hole several times.

After finally inserting the right hole and walking in, Ning Muqing was already awakened.

Her eyes were the color of Tianshan snow, blue and cold, "You guys came earlier than I thought."
