Chapter 397 Guard
"Yes." Pan Lunchi lowered his head and responded.

"In addition, arrange two secret guards to replace the palace maid who is guarding Zhang Yingzi." The saint added, "Watch her day and night and never let her contact anyone."

"If she refuses to settle down..." the saint said coldly, "then just kill her."

According to the saint's opinion, it is still unknown what role Zhang Yingzi played in it.

Are you simply being taken advantage of, or are you aware of the other party's purpose and still participating in it?

He didn't want to alarm Zhang Yingzi by rashly touching her.

But if Zhang Yingzi is restless and insists on alerting the enemy, then quietly deal with Zhang Yingzi.

"Yes." The secret guard responded.

Zhang Yingzi didn't notice anything unusual at first, and since she came back from the palace last time, she has obviously lost a lot of control over her.

Although the food was still not that good, at least she could wander around the Ciyuan Hall as she pleased, rather than being unable to go anywhere.

Therefore, Zhang Yingzi's mood was pretty good.

But in the afternoon after Zhaoxia took her measurements and left, Zhang Yingzi felt that the sunlight was nice outside and wanted to go for a stroll in the small garden outside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of the house, he was stopped by the palace maid, "You can't go out."

Now, those watching Zhang Yingzi in the room had been replaced by two secret guards.

After receiving the order, other palace officials knew that the saint had lost patience with Zhang Yingzi, so they were too lazy to pretend to be respectful to Zhang Yingzi.

Zhang Yingzi saw that the palace maid who was speaking was unfamiliar, frowned and asked: "Who are you? When did you come?"

"This slave is newly transferred to serve Miss Zhang." The secret guard said coldly.

But Zhang Yingzi looked at this palace lady and she didn't look like an ordinary palace lady at all. She was cold and cold, and she didn't have the look of a palace lady who would wait for others.

"Why can't I go out?" Zhang Yingzi said coldly.

"It's the saint's order." The secret guard said coldly, "From now on, Miss Zhang will stay in the palace and not go anywhere."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yingzi said coldly, "Are you trying to lock me in here?"

"This is the sage's order." The secret guard said coldly, "Miss Zhang had better cooperate. Then at least you can still move around in this room. Otherwise, I will have to tie you up."

"You!" Zhang Yingzi said loudly, "I want to see the Queen! Why do you lock me up!"

"If Miss Zhang makes a loud noise and disturbs the queen's rest, the slave will have no choice but to seal the girl's mouth." The secret guard took out a piece of cloth, as if he was serious about it.

"You... you..." Zhang Yingzi's expression suddenly changed, "My father is still ill outside the palace. You keep me here, so how can I see my father?"

Yes, the antidote...

The antidote was still with her, and since she couldn't get out, she couldn't give the antidote to her father.

"How long are you going to lock me up!" Zhang Yingzi asked, "I need to leave the palace to see my father! His illness cannot wait!"

"Miss Zhang is not a doctor, so why do you have to leave the palace to visit?" the secret guard asked coldly.

Zhang Yingzi hesitated and made an excuse: "My father is seriously ill, and it may be the last time he sees me at any time. If I can't leave the palace to see my father for the last time..."

The secret guard thought coldly, then don't poison your father.

What is the difference between a person who can poison his own father and a beast?
Even if someone said there was an antidote, would she believe it?
What if it's fake?

Zhang Yingzi was clearly gambling with his father's life.

It’s a shame that Old Man Zhang was so kind to Zhang Yingzi.

The secret guard didn't talk nonsense to her and stepped forward to restrain Zhang Yingzi.

"What are you doing!" Zhang Yingzi shouted.

The secret guards tied Zhang Yingzi's mouth with a piece of cloth, making her unable to speak. Zhang Yingzi had been warned not to yell.

Another palace official, also a newly transferred secret guard, took out the antidote given by Zhao Xia from Zhang Yingzi's arms.

The secret guard took the antidote and went to restore the saint's life.

Zhang Yingzi watched as the antidote was taken away.

That was the life-saving medicine for Old Man Zhang!

She was extremely anxious, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't make a sound at all.

The secret guard didn't want to see her causing trouble, so he simply knocked her unconscious and tied her to a chair.

Another secret guard handed the antidote to the saint, and the saint asked Dr. Lu to come over and see, "You go back and study whether this can cure Old Man Zhang's poison. If it is really the antidote, you will research the prescription."

"Yes." Dr. Lu carefully took the antidote, opened the bottle and smelled it, and found out that several of the herbs were good. "I will go back and study it now."

Now that one of the rats in the palace has been found, the clues are getting clearer and clearer, and the saint and the prince feel a little more relaxed.

In the following time, Dr. Lu was analyzing the antidote.

The secret guards were staring at Zhang Yingzi and Zhaoxia.

After Zhaoxia went to Zhang Yingzi to ask for the Hundred Days Clearance, she never went to Zhang Yingzi again.

Therefore, I really didn’t know that Zhang Yingzi was being controlled.

Imperial Physician Lu also lived up to the saint's trust and analyzed all the antidotes, confirmed that it was indeed the antidote, and formulated a new antidote.

To be on the safe side, Dr. Lu gave the newly prepared antidote to the saint, and the saint arranged for the prince to send someone to the Gu Mansion to ask Old Man Zhang to take the newly prepared antidote by Dr. Lu to see the effect.

To be honest, the saint didn't care much about Old Man Zhang's life.

It would be a mercy not to involve the life of old man Zhang because of Zhang Yingzi's incident.

But there is no more kindness.

The sage asked Old Man Zhang to take the antidote prepared by Dr. Lu, just to see how effective the antidote prepared by Dr. Lu was.

The saint thought that if he didn't take precautions when the time came, he would still be poisoned.

Then Dr. Lu’s antidote is needed.

Therefore, let Old Man Zhang try it out first.

If the antidote is useless and Old Man Zhang is not cured, then continue research.

If old man Zhang died because of this, it was Zhang Yingzi's fault.

The prince took people to Gu's house incognito and in a low profile.

When everyone in the Gu family saw the prince, they were about to salute, but they were stopped by the prince, "Don't salute, I came here secretly, don't attract attention."

"Your Highness, why do you want His Highness to come here in person?" Gu Shangqing said.

Gu's mother had already sent everyone to leave first.

Only Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu were left with the prince.

The prince then took out the antidote and said, "This is the antidote developed by Dr. Lu. Give it to Old Man Zhang to try."

"Did Dr. Lu come up with the research?" Li Mumu said happily.

"The effect has not yet been determined." The prince said, "If Old Man Zhang gets better, you two need to keep a close watch on the whole house and not reveal any information. Otherwise, even I can't protect you."

"I obey the order." Gu Shangqing said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, does Dr. Lu know what kind of poison is in Old Man Zhang? And who gave Old Man Zhang this poison?" Li Mumu said, "This poison is so delicate that even the imperial doctor can't detect it. It must be really expensive. And Who wants to use it on Old Man Zhang?”
