Chapter 477 Ingredients in small pills
After returning to Prince Yu's Mansion, Luo Lan asked A Cai and A Hong to take their three children to play with Xiao Ling and Xina. She couldn't wait to return to the room and enter the operating room to check the test results.
When she printed out the test sheet and saw the data on it, her face turned pale.
The data showed that in addition to several medicinal materials that promote body fluids and quench thirst, this small pill also contains two words marked in red that are particularly eye-catching - poppy.
Isn't this a drug?
No wonder the emperor felt full of energy after taking the little pill. That's because the drugs extracted from the opium poppy have a stimulating effect on the nerves. This is why the emperor felt energetic after taking the little pill.
Plenty of reasons.
Luo Lan was not surprised by this result. She had already guessed that it would be such a result.
It’s just that opium poppies were abundant in the Chu State. At that time, most people didn’t know that this stuff was extremely poisonous. Some medical clinics even used opium poppies as medicinal materials. Of course, there were also some people with ulterior motives who discovered that extracting juice from opium poppies could be used to treat opium.
Make drugs that are stimulating and even addictive.
This is what was added to the so-called pill of immortality that the emperor took.
After learning the result, Luo Lan quickly came out of the operating room and quickly headed to the front office.
At this time, Leng Yu had just come back from outside, and she couldn't wait to pull him to sit down in the main hall, and screened everyone away.
Looking at her solemn expression, Leng Yu asked in surprise:
"Lan'er, what did you find when you entered the palace?"
Luo Lan frowned slightly and nodded,
"Well, I took some powder from the small pills that the emperor took, and after testing, I found that it contains poppy ingredients that can cause stimulants."
poppy?
Regarding this strange thing, Leng Yu looked at her with puzzled eyes,
"I don't understand medicine, and I have never heard of what kind of medicinal material this is. Why does eating this thing make people excited? What effects does it have on people?"
His question made Luo Lan smile helplessly, "My husband had known that there would be no medicine that could make people immortal in this world. The effect of this thing is to suppress people's nerves and keep people in a state of excitement for a long time.
No matter what I do, I will be tireless.”
Hearing this, Leng Yu's eyes showed a hint of curiosity and he continued to ask:
"If there are such benefits, why have I never heard of them?"
"Because it not only has benefits, but also has more disadvantages than benefits. Have you noticed recently that the emperor is losing weight day by day? It is the result of long-term consumption of this poison. Although the poppy is not poisonous in appearance, it is extracted from its fruit.
The juice that comes out is poisonous and highly addictive. If people consume it for a long time, it will cause hallucinations and make the face become thinner. Once you suddenly stop eating it, your body will feel as if there are thousands of ants biting you.
In the end, it will lead to coma, difficulty breathing, and death..."
Luo Lan's words made Leng Yu gloomy and silent for a while.
He wasn't because he felt sorry for the emperor, he was angry. How could Lengxi do such a thing?
Thinking of this, he stood up and said with hatred:
"I'm going to go find Leng Xi now and ask him why he did this?"
Seeing that he was a little excited, Luo Lan hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, "Mr., don't be anxious. It's better not to alert the snake about this matter first. What we have to do now is to find a way to prevent Li Fei from getting into the back seat. If we don't wait too long,
Slowly expose the ugly behavior of their mother and daughter."
Leng Yu calmed down under Luo Lan's persuasion. He clenched his fists in his cuffs and gritted his teeth.
Although he hated the emperor many times, he would never do anything to harm him. After all, he was a person with the same blood as him. But Leng Xi, he had reached the point of desperate to achieve his goal.
Thinking of this, a disappointed look appeared in his dark eyes...
…
The next morning,
Leng Xi stood in the main hall of Liyuan with his hands behind his back, waiting for the arrival of his mother, Concubine Li.
When Concubine Li came, Leng Xi waved his hand directly and yelled at his servants: "Everyone, get out."
The servants didn't know why, but seeing Prince Xi getting angry, they all retreated.
Seeing that only mother and son were left here, Li Fei picked up the tea cup and drank lightly, and asked in confusion:
"Xi'er, why are you so angry so early in the morning?"
Leng Xi looked at Concubine Li, his eyes flashing with cold anger, and asked sternly:
"Didn't you say that the medicine you gave me to my father is to strengthen your body? Why do I see him losing weight day by day? Is there something fishy in this medicine?"
Li Fei put down the tea cup in her hand, raised the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth, raised her eyebrows indifferently and said:
"You are right. I am doing this all for you. When I ascend to the throne, I will find a way to make you the crown prince. Then I will force him to abdicate, and you will naturally become the next emperor."
Li Fei spoke in an understatement, but Leng Xi was a little angry after hearing it.
He shook his sleeves and said in a dissatisfied voice:
"I have said before that I will only compete with Leng Yu for the throne and will not commit patricide. If you do this, even if you let me become the emperor, I will be spurned by the people and reviled by all the people. You
This is not for my own good."
"Then am I doing it for myself?"
Li Fei stared at him with a red face and continued to ask:
"I did all this for you. If I didn't do this, do you think it would be possible for the emperor to pass the throne to you? Even after the incident involving the Chu people last time, even I would be ignored by the emperor.
Then our mother and daughter will have no hope at all."
Having said this, Concubine Li stood up from the chair, walked slowly to Leng Xi, and softly comforted:
"Xi'er, my concubine knows that you still have some affection for the emperor and brotherly affection for Leng Yu in your heart, but don't you know that they no longer have this affection for you? We can only control the emperor if we take the lead in controlling him.
Let’s live with this situation.”
Leng Xi was a little shaken by Concubine Li's words. Before coming, he was very angry, but after hearing Concubine Li's words, he felt that he was too loyal.
Seeing his hesitation, Li Fei struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade:
"Xi'er, my concubine, I have been waiting for this position for more than ten years, and now the emperor finally nodded and agreed. Why? It's not because of the little pill we made for him. He is now dependent on this little pill. This
This is also the reason why we, mother and son, can control him, so now, we are waiting for the concubine ceremony. When the mother-in-law ascends to the throne, we will definitely find an opportunity to persuade the emperor to let you be the prince, or let the emperor make a will..."
"Don't kill him..."
