Huangxiu

Chapter 91 Poisoning
Chu Zhiyuan watched the three of them leave. Chaogan followed the three of them and watched them leave the Ministry of Rites. He couldn't help but talk about it.

Chu Zhiyuan was absorbing the flying dragon bone while thinking about how much special merit he could get from this incident.

Three of the ten flying dragon bones have been absorbed.

As the bones grow stronger, the speed of absorbing the flying dragon bones is accelerating.

However, the growth of bones and the improvement of physique made the remaining three floors of the twelve-story jade tower more solid and difficult to break.

Things in the world are truly a combination of yin and yang, with a mixture of good and bad.

Despite this, he still absorbed the flying dragon bones without hesitation to strengthen his bones.

He vaguely felt that this was the right thing to do, rather than giving up the Dragon Transformation Technique to break through the Jade Tower first and reach a higher level.

He trusts his instincts.

He also wanted to quickly complete the third level and see what uses the fourth level of marrow refining had, which would be more interesting than simply breaking through the Jade Tower.

Moreover, he discovered that as his bones grew stronger, his meridians also grew stronger, and he was able to condense more Dragon Binding Ropes, making the impact of his true Qi even stronger.

"Senior Sister, did you really just drive them away?" Wen Qianqian couldn't help but lowered her voice and asked softly, turning her head to look around.

There were crowds of people all around, and the shops and stalls on both sides were very busy.

The common people living there only felt that Yujing City was becoming more and more prosperous and lively, but they did not realize the danger brewing within it.

But now she already understood where the confidence of Zhenwu Division came from.

The Grand Master's Mansion has already promised to suppress the rebellion at the critical moment, so the Zhenwu Division dares to allow martial arts masters to enter the capital.

"Yeah." Huang Shirong nodded slightly.

Xu Mengyu sighed, "I didn't expect that the prince would be such a kind person."

She could sense the kindness of this act.

If it were another official, he would probably have ordered the Zhenwu Division to suppress the people on the list, even killing them.

Wen Qianqian said, "But isn't this too indulgent of them? They are so bold and reckless, not taking the Zhenwu Division seriously, and they just chased them away."

"Maybe he feels pity for them because they have a blood feud." Xu Mengyu said.

Wen Qianqian curled her red lips and said, "Junior Sister Xu, I think you think too highly of the prince. Maybe he just wants to shirk responsibility. Drive him out of Yujing and leave the rest of the trouble to the Imperial Guards."

As she spoke, she looked at Huang Shirong.

Huang Shirong smiled.

"Senior Sister, am I wrong?" Wen Qianqian said.

Huang Shirong smiled and said, "The prince is neither as bad as you think, nor as good as Senior Sister Xu thinks."

The two women were curious.

"Sister, can you tell us what's going on?"

"Driving them away is a warning. If they still don't appreciate our kindness, it won't be too late to deal with them then, and it will be more justified. If we arrest them now, it will inevitably lose the support of the people. We still have to consider what the people want."

"so……"

"Okay, just follow my orders."

"Yes."

-

Chu Zhiyuan returned to Prince Qing's Mansion for lunch. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw that the door was wide open and Chu Yi was seeing Li Suyue off.

Li Suyue was dressed in a emerald green gown, beautiful and graceful. When she saw Chu Zhiyuan, she saluted shyly with her fists clasped together, her fair cheeks flushed, and she looked shy and timid.

"Brother!" Chu Yi jumped down the stairs excitedly, came forward and grabbed his arm.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped his fists to Li Suyue in return: "Miss Li, you might as well come visit more often. You can learn from me about growing flowers and plants, and also learn some martial arts."

"Yes, yes." Chu Yi nodded and agreed: "Sister Li, you must come again tomorrow!"

"..." Li Suyue looked embarrassed.

She was conflicted.

Since he wanted to come and play with Chu Yi, the two of them had similar personalities and hit it off right away. The time they spent together felt especially short, and in a moment it was half a day.

But I'm also worried that others will say I'm too snobbish and trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I have a good relationship with Elder Lu, and I picked your rare flower, the morning glory flower. You came here to help take care of that rare flower."

"...Yes." Li Suyue nodded hesitantly.

Because there was the rare flower, the morning glory, and he had brought his master with him, it was as if he had come here for his master's service, so others really had nothing to gossip about.

This made her feel relieved.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled as he watched her leave accompanied by several Feihua Sword Sect disciples.

He looked up and glanced at a corner of the wall in the distance.

At the end of the main street of Prince Qing's Mansion, two servants in blue were huddled there, staring at this side, ready to escape at any time, and were extremely vigilant and careful.

Chu Zhiyuan lowered his head and said a few words to Guo Chi and Gao Jiong.

The two nodded with tense faces.

Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Yi entered the mansion together. Chu Yi was in a cheerful mood, and was full of emotion, praising Li Suyue's prowess. Especially when it came to flowers and plants, she was much more knowledgeable than herself, which really opened her eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan responded with a smile and came to the back garden.

Bai Ningshuang was lying on the Luohan bed in the water pavilion, slumped there lazily without changing out of her palace dress. Seeing the two people coming over, she waved lazily.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "How is the queen?"

"I'm much better now." Bai Ningshuang sighed and said, "After all, as you get older, you'll always get sick. This illness came at a bad time."

Concubine Rou was unable to attend the palace banquet that night because she was ill.

He suddenly developed prickly heat for no apparent reason, and the imperial physician could not find the cause. He could only apply some ointment to relieve the itching. He was unable to sleep or eat and was in great pain.

When I visited him yesterday, the prickly heat had turned into big red bumps, but his condition had improved and he was able to sleep well again.

"No illness?"

"It's said to be an unknown strange disease," Bai Ningshuang shook her head: "The imperial physician is not omnipotent, there are times when he is helpless."

Chu Zhiyuan reached out and placed his hand on her wrist.

After a moment, his brows furrowed.

"I'm sick too?" Bai Ningshuang asked, "I feel so lazy and I don't have any energy. Could it be that the queen has infected me with illness?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "This is poisoning."

Bai Ningshuang was stunned.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and looked in the direction of the palace, finding it a little difficult to understand.

He would check on Bai Ningshuang every few days to see her inside and out, and treat any illness she had. He discovered something strange in her throat.

Looking at the particles attached to the nose hair, they are colorless and transparent, but have a faint gray luster.

This is poison.

This poison is colorless and odorless, and it is hard to guard against, but it cannot be hidden from the super senses.

But he felt that he might not be able to hide it from the imperial doctors.

The imperial doctors should have noticed something.

"Impossible." Bai Ningshuang laughed: "Where did the poison in the palace come from?"

The imperial palace is the most strictly guarded and it is very difficult for outsiders to enter. How could there be poison, and it is even more impossible for someone to poison someone.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Zou Fang, bring me a detoxification pill."

"Yes." Zou Fang came back quickly and handed over a small porcelain bottle.

The porcelain vase was exquisite and carved with a pattern of plum branches under the moon. It was lustrous and she opened the stopper, took out a snow-white pill and stuffed it into her mouth.

Chu Zhiyuan held her wrist, waiting for the detoxification pill to take effect, and observed its effects.

Time passed slowly, Chu Yi stared at Chu Zhiyuan and Bai Ningshuang with bright eyes. Bai Ningshuang was already in a semi-confused state.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."

As the medicine took effect, the faint gray light disappeared, proving that the toxicity had disappeared.

Some detoxification pills act on the liver in the body, speeding up the liver's function and enhancing its ability to detoxify, while some detoxification pills directly eliminate toxins.

The detoxification pill from Prince Qing's Mansion can directly remove the poison. It may seem inconspicuous but it is extremely precious and has already removed the toxin.

"Am I fine now?" Bai Ningshuang woke up, looking refreshed.

She dozed off but it seemed like she had slept for a long time. She felt indescribably refreshed and comfortable at that moment.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's just a slight poison. Even if it's not cured, it's not a big deal. It'll just make you feel uncomfortable for a few days."

"It's so easy, how come the imperial physician is helpless?" Bai Ningshuang snorted, "Could it be that he is a quack?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled meaningfully: "They are national players, how can they really be helpless?"

Chu Yi was surprised: "They knew it was poison? Did they do it on purpose?"

"If it's poison, how big of a mess will it cause?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "It's just a way to protect yourself."

This is not a highly toxic substance, and the person who uses the poison has no intention of killing anyone. It just adds some annoyance.

It is better for the imperial physician not to interfere in the grudges within the harem, as he cannot afford to offend anyone.

"Really..." Bai Ningshuang said bitterly: "It is the queen who is suffering!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Just give the queen a detoxification pill, or put it in the wine, or put it in the snacks."

"No!" Bai Ningshuang raised her eyebrows and snorted, "I want to see who is the bad guy!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mom, tell grandma so that she knows what to do. As for what to do, you still have to listen to grandma."

Concubine Rou is no ordinary person. Her level of palace fighting is far beyond Bai Ningshuang.

Bai Ningshuang also knew this and sighed, "Okay."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, stood up and left.
