Chapter 398 Setting up a trap
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mrs. Gu," the prince said.

The prince opened the study door and looked outside. No one was outside, so he closed the door again and said, "Old man Zhang's poison was poisoned by Zhang Yingzi."

Even Li Mumu never dared to think about this possibility.

At this time, it sounded like he couldn't stand still and was swaying.

Even Gu Shangqing felt unreal.

He took two deep breaths to calm himself down a little, but he still felt shocked, "Did Zhang Yingzi do it?"

The prince nodded.

Li Mumu clenched her fists and said angrily: "She...is she still a human?"

"Old man Zhang loves her so much, and she actually poisoned old man Zhang!" Li Mumu said angrily, "But why did she poison old man Zhang? What good would it do to her?"

"We don't know yet. We were worried that there were other accomplices in the palace, so we didn't arrest them for interrogation." The prince said, "But judging from the current clues, this poison should have been poisoned by Old Man Zhang when he was in Chong'an." The female gentleman Yingzi invited gave it to her."

The prince told Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing the results of the secret guard's investigation, "Zhang Yingzi brought Old Man Zhang to Beijing for medical treatment. There was an unknown person in the palace who contacted Zhang Yingzi."

"Zhang Yingzi gave the poison to the palace maid, and in exchange, the palace maid gave the antidote to Zhang Yingzi." The prince said, "My guess is that the female gentleman made a promise with Zhang Yingzi that as long as Zhang Yingzi gives Old Man Zhang Poison him and bring Old Man Zhang to Beijing, and someone will find a way to contact Zhang Yingzi."

"At that time, Zhang Yingzi only needs to give the poison to the person who contacts her, and she can exchange the antidote from the other party." The prince said.

"The antidote I got from Zhang Yingzi was given to Dr. Lu, who developed it based on the antidote," the prince said.

After hearing the prince's words, Li Mumu understood the emperor's intention.

The antidote that Doctor Lu developed based on that antidote may not be exactly the same as the original antidote.

This means using old man Zhang as a guinea pig.

However, apart from the antidote given by the prince, there is no other way to obtain the antidote.

I can only take the risk and give it a try.

If you don't try it, you will be poisoned, and the old man will eventually die of poisonous hair.

And looking at Old Man Zhang's current state, I'm afraid that day is not far away.

Only one try.

Besides, it's hard to say whether the antidote Zhang Yingzi got from the other party is real.

I asked Dr. Lu to study it, and I guess it’s not wrong.

The original antidote is no longer available.

However, Li Mumu estimated that if Dr. Lu's antidote was effective, the saint would not even touch the original antidote Zhang Yingzi exchanged for it.

The enemy's things are exactly the same, and it is difficult for saints to trust them.

"Perhaps you can submit to Old Man Zhang now?" Li Mumu asked the prince.

"Okay." The prince nodded, "Mr. Lu is already waiting outside Old Man Zhang's hospital."

So, Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing hurriedly took the antidote to Old Man Zhang's house.

"This is the medicine developed by Dr. Lu." Gu Shangqing did not say it was an antidote. He thought that no matter what happens in the future, at least for now it is best not to let Old Man Zhang know the truth.

Originally, poisoning was harmful to the body, so he took the antidote. However, Old Man Zhang's body has been injured by the poison and needs to be recuperated.

After this experience, I am afraid that the body that was originally able to live to eighty or ninety years old is now hard to predict.

If Old Man Zhang is allowed to know the truth, who knows whether Old Man Zhang will still have the will to continue living.

Old man Zhang was surprised when he heard this, "Really? I...can my disease be cured?" "Let's try it first. Now that Dr. Lu has prepared the medicine, it won't heal immediately, but it will definitely be better than before." Gu Shangqing I don’t know how effective this antidote is, and I don’t dare to confirm it with Old Man Zhang.

Old man Zhang nodded.

The servant helped old man Zhang up.

Gu Shangqing poured a pill from the porcelain bottle and gave it to Old Man Zhang to take.

Naturally, the medicine won't work that quickly.

However, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Dr. Lu took the medicine from Old Man Zhang and stayed in the Gu family.

"Mr. Lu, please go and have a rest." Old Man Zhang advised, "I'm actually quite well now. If anything goes wrong, I'll call you again."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not tired just sitting here." This was a matter for a saint, and Doctor Lu didn't dare to slack off.

At night, the bright moon hung high, and the sky outside was pitch black with no light.

Although Old Man Zhang was tired, he felt that his body felt much lighter, so he told Dr. Lu the same thing.

Doctor Lu took Old Man Zhang's pulse and said, "The old man is recovering well."

Doctor Lu wrote some more prescriptions for conditioning and gave them to Gu Shangqing.

After leaving Old Man Zhang's house, he whispered to Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu: "The toxins in Old Man Zhang's body have not been completely removed. After all, he has been poisoned for a long time, and it cannot be completely removed so quickly."

"I added drugs to promote excretion in the prescription. After Old Man Zhang has excreted the remaining poison, I will check his pulse tomorrow. Just now, judging from the pulse, most of the toxins have been eliminated, but due to long-term poisoning, all the internal organs in the body have The injury still needs to be taken good care of," Dr. Lu said, "I also wrote a prescription for warming and tonic. After all the toxins are removed, you can start to warm and tonic for Old Man Zhang. Don't give him too much food right away. , step by step, take your time.”

"Thank you, Doctor Lu." Li Mumu said.

"I have to return to the palace to resume my life." Dr. Lu said, "Come back tomorrow. If anything happens, please let me know at any time."

"I'll see Doctor Lu off." Gu Shangqing sent Doctor Lu outside the gate and watched as Doctor Lu got on the carriage.

Doctor Lu returned to the palace and told the saint about Old Man Zhang's condition, "Old Man Zhang's current situation is normal. Even if he takes Zhang Yingzi's antidote, he will not recover immediately. But it proves that there is no problem with the antidote."

As the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet approaches, the secret guards keep an eye on Zhaoxia even more closely.

But I never saw anyone she contacted.

But there was one thing. Zhaoxia changed from the previous state of not being close to anyone, and actually started chatting with the lower-ranking people in the Shangshi Bureau and the Imperial Kitchen Room whenever they had nothing to do.

She actually got to chat with two of the more intimate people.

When they meet, Zhaoxia often presents gadgets made by herself.

For example, a veil, a purse, etc.

Naturally, the Shangshi Bureau and the Imperial Dining Room provided some food for Zhaoxia.

As time goes by, the relationship gets better and better.

The secret guard checked the two palace men Zhao Xia was looking for.

There was nothing suspicious about them, and they had never interacted with Zhaoxia before.

If this is really the case, I am afraid Zhaoxia will be implicated innocently.

At noon on the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Zhaoxia came to the imperial dining room and chatted a little with the little palace servant she was friends with.

At this time, a young chamberlain shouted at the door: "Shunzi, the prince is calling you."

"Come, come." Shunzi, who had a good relationship with Zhaoxia, responded and said to Zhaoxia, "Sister Zhaoxia, the prince is looking for me. I don't know when he will come back. You go back first and wait for me to be busy. I’ll find you later.”
