Although this was a cultivation technique, it had its own unique aspects in stabilizing the mind.
Lowering his head to look at Concubine Zhao, the corners of Qin Mu's mouth curled up into a beautiful arc." Empress Dowager, don't be anxious. I've already found out the cause of your illness.”
"Hmm?"
Zhao Ji was shocked. It was not that she had never seen a famous doctor for her illness.
Even the royal physicians in the palace were helpless, but this second-rate folk alchemist, who was obviously sent by Lu Buwei to test him, actually said that he could cure him!
How could this not surprise Lady Zhao?
However, even though she was surprised, she did not dare to show it on her face. What if this person in front of her was testing her?
As she thought about it, a charming smile appeared on Lady Zhao's face. She said in a coquettish voice,"What is it, sir? What is the cause of this widow's illness? How should I treat it?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but grope Qin Mu's body.
Qin Mu grabbed her mischievous little hand and smiled at her."
"Empress Dowager, you and I are both wise people. I believe you know why Lu Buwei sent me here today.”
"I believe that Empress Dowager has also looked for many famous doctors, but none of them were successful. As for me, Qin Mu, I can treat your illness!”
"Furthermore, not only can I help Empress Dowager treat her illness, I can also help Empress Dowager and that person escape from their current predicament!”
After saying that, Qin Mu patted her little hand and put it down with an unfathomable expression.
At this moment, Qin Mu was betting on whether what he had observed and guessed was true.
If it was true, then today's situation would be over!
If it was wrong, then it was nothing. At most, he would die again. What was the harm?
Moreover, if he couldn't even pass this test today, how could he survive in this world in the future?
On the other hand, after Zhao Ji heard Qin Mu's words, even though her expression didn't change, she was still smiling like a flower.
However, at this moment, a storm had already set off in the depths of her heart.
She did not expect that this folk alchemist would say such arrogant words today.
That's right, Qin Mu's words were arrogant words in the eyes of Lady Zhao.
Not to mention curing his illness, even Great Qin's only Great General, Wang Jian, who could fight against Lu Buwei, would not be able to guarantee that he would be able to help him and that person get out of this predicament, let alone a mere alchemist.
But…
Raising her eyes to look at Qin Mu's eyes that were like stars, for some reason, a thought welled up in her heart.
If what the person in front of him said was true, then why didn't he give it a shot?
The situation he and that person were in was indeed as Qin Mu had said. They were in a predicament and were even in imminent danger. If they didn't fight, they might not have a chance anymore.
Finally, Lady Zhao made up her mind and raised her head to look at Qin Mu who had been staring at her intently.
"Sir, can I trust you?"
Looking at Lady Zhao's appearance, Qin Mu knew that he had made the right bet. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
With a light laugh, Qin Mu waved his hand and said,"
"Empress Dowager, it's your choice whether you trust me or not, but I'm certain that only I can resolve the dilemma between you and that person.”
"So…"
Qin Mu didn't finish his sentence, but he believed that this intelligent woman in front of him understood what he meant.
Taking a deep look at Qin Mu, Lady Zhao sighed and softly told him the whole story.
Qin Mu had a rough understanding of the situation from Concubine Zhao's explanation.
Because the current King of Qin was still young, Lu Buwei, who had supported two generations of emperors of the Great Qin Empire, naturally controlled the overall situation of the court.
While Lu Buwei was in charge of the government, he had tried his best to eliminate dissidents and help his followers to high positions. The Qin court had become his one-word court.
But who knew that Lu Buwei was so meticulous? When he had almost controlled the Qin Imperial Court, he turned his gaze to the Great Qin Palace.
In the Great Qin Palace, only two people could pose a threat to him.
One of them was the current Qin King, and the other was the woman standing in front of Qin Mu.
Even though Concubine Zhao was not a woman, Lu Buwei was not very confident in her.
That's right, a woman who could nurture such a shocking figure like the later Qin Shi Huang was not an ordinary person.
As a result, there was news in the palace that the Empress Dowager was suffering from a difficult illness. She looked for famous doctors everywhere, but to no avail.
In fact, anyone could tell that the reason why the Empress Dowager had this strange illness was because of who was the most suspicious.
However, no one dared to think about it, and no one dared to say it.
Not only that, but most of the palace maids around Lady Zhao had been sent by Lu Buwei to keep an eye on her.
If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Mu, who was deeply trusted by Lu Buwei, had come today, those palace maids would probably still be watching every move of Lady Zhao.
When he heard this, Qin Mu finally understood everything.
Looking at Concubine Zhao, Qin Mu said with a look of understanding,"" That's why you pretended to be that kind of…"
"Looks like a slut, right?"
Seeing that Qin Mu didn't say anything, Lady Zhao answered him.
"Hey!"
Sighing lightly, Zhao Ji continued,"Actually, I wasn't completely pretending. Although I tried my best to suppress myself, I don't know why, but I always felt a ball of fire burning in my body, as if I was yearning for something.”
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Mu." Teacher, do you understand what I'm saying?”
Qin Mu nodded." En, I understand! This is also the cause of your illness.”
"Hmm?"
Zhao Ji looked surprised." Sir, did you really find out the cause of my illness?”
Nodding heavily, Qin Mu said with a solemn expression,""The Empress Dowager's illness is simple. She was poisoned by a rare gu.”
Zhao Ji's small mouth was slightly agape, and her face was full of shock." What? Sir said that I was poisoned!”
Seeing this, Qin Mu looked at Concubine Zhao, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile." Empress Dowager, that's right. You were indeed poisoned by a gu, and it's a special type of gu, Charm Gu!”
"Charm Gu?"
Hearing this name, Zhao Ji's eyes narrowed and she became curious." Sir, what is this Charm Gu?”
"Empress Dowager, do you feel that your body is constantly hot and unbearable recently? Moreover, the feeling will become stronger when you see a man?" Qin Mu asked with a light laugh.”
