Chapter 9 Turmoil caused by a pill

When he woke up the next day, Shangguan Rong accompanied Zhou An to the imperial study room. This place belongs to the main palace and is the place where the emperor reads and works. He was not allowed to step into a half step before.

Entering here, sign in and get a complete set of books on the Emperor's Way, which was immediately used by him and turned into white light and flew into his eyebrows.

Although he was not interested in this, he had at least understood the emperor's strategy, which was very different from ordinary people. Anything was no longer simple to judge good and evil and interests, which made him amazed that the emperor was really not something that ordinary people could do, and it was too tiring.

After he sat down, he looked here and took some books to read casually, all of which were useless. It must have been specially organized by the Queen Mother.

He didn't plan to read a book, and came here just to sign in and light up the entire map of the main palace as soon as possible. At the same time, he also recalled the night of spring with the queen last night.

He found out that the queen was actually a master, probably at the sixth level of acquired status, and used Yin-Yang Technique with her to improve her internal strength for three years at once.

Shangguan Rong seemed to be familiar with this place. At Zhou An's request, he took him to stroll around the main palace to sign in. The things were much better than before, and many rare treasures and precious calligraphy and paintings appeared.

The queen has been with her side, and the two chatted and laughed, feeling like a couple who came here to travel.

Of course, there must be a group of palace maids and four purple guards following behind him, which is to protect them from safety, but in fact it is to monitor their every move.

With the amulet of Shangguan Rong, I just walked into the palaces and saw that the Purple-Yiwei Guard was not able to stop him. Zhou An finally walked through all the palaces of the main palace, and he had signed in several important places on the wedding day.

He got the Qianyuan Dragon Boots, Qianyuan Dragon Hands, Qianyuan Dragon Helmets, and the Qianyuan Dragon Armor helmet he had obtained before, so he had collected all the equipment.

After the entire map of the main palace is lit, the system rewards Qianyang Tiangang Fist, which is the royal family's earth-level martial arts. It is a boxing technique created by the founding emperor based on the vast Qiankun Art. It can exert amazing power in conjunction with the use of it.

After the two of them had lunch together, the queen went to Yongshou Palace to meet the queen mother. Zhou An came to Changle Palace and called Sainaimu to have fun.

After the singing and dancing started, Sai Naimu leaned into Zhou An's arms and said in a jealous voice: "Master, if you have a queen, have you forgotten others?"

Zhou An took a sip of wine and laughed: "You will be jealous?"

"I am worried about the emperor and afraid that you will be controlled by the queen. After all, she is from the Shangguan family." Sai Naimu said, his fingers slowly slid across Zhou An's chest.

"Now the entire palace is controlled by the Queen Mother, there is no need for the Shangguan family to do this. What's the matter with the poisoned person you investigate?" Zhou An asked by grabbing her naughty hand.

"Macomb from the Imperial Hospital, the toxicity of this poison is not particularly strong, but it is enough to be fatal to ordinary people. Especially when the qi and blood flow accelerate, the toxicity will quickly spread throughout the body and eventually it will be difficult to breathe until death.

There will be no trace until death, as if you die of holding your breath. Moreover, within half an hour after death, the toxicity will be converted into water and dissolved in the blood, making it difficult to be discovered.

Your Majesty, do you need me to repay the person with his own way?" Sai Naimu said, and when he saw that his hand was caught, he pressed it in with his body.

"No, if you do it, the Purple Guard may find you. Is there a way for people to see this poison?" Zhou An refused, and the one who came to the door was unceremonious and worked together.

"Simple, soak in the wine, and put another thing in my servant to make the poison appear." Sainimu laughed in teasing, pulled out his hairpin and stirred it in his wine glass.

Zhou An immediately shouted: "Come here, let the Imperial Hospital send Yuanyang Dan."

Not long after, the pill was sent, and Zhou An opened the exquisite wooden box with six red pills in it.

"Your Majesty, I feed you." Sainaimu heard these pills, picked up one and put it into Zhou An's mouth. As a result, his hand slipped and the pill fell into the wine glass on the table.

Soon the drink turned purple and red. When Zhou An saw it, he looked angry and pointed at the person who was delivering medicine in the Imperial Hospital and said angrily: "Come on, take it."

The purple-in-law at the door rushed in immediately and stopped the two people who were delivering medicine.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. I am just ordered to send Yuanyang Dan." The two of them knelt down and kowtowed with a look of horror, not knowing what happened.

"Purple Clothes of No. 7, send the items in the cup to check if there is any problem."

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, a person jumped out of the corner next to Zhou An, fell in front of him, looked at the wine in the glass, picked up his hands and said, "Yes."

Although the Purple Guard monitored Zhou An, he was also responsible for his safety. Zhou An could let them do some trivial matters.

Seeing Ziyi No. 7 take away the wine soaked in the pills and leave with a box of Yuanyang Dan, Zhou An sat down and said, "Continue."

The dancers immediately danced, and the music sounded, and he and Sai Naimu looked at each other and smiled. This gave the Queen Mother the opportunity to cause trouble for the left prime minister. I believe the Queen Mother would never miss such an opportunity.

In Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting cross-legged on the futon and practicing qigong. Outside the door, the voice of Ziyi from No. 7 came: "Empress Dowager, No. 7 has something important to report."

The Queen Mother finished her tutor and breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "Come in."

No. 7 Ziyi immediately knelt down and said, "The Emperor took Yuanyang Dan and found a deadly toxin."

The queen mother was shocked and stood up and asked angrily, "Did you find out who is poisoning?"

"The subordinates have already controlled everyone in the Imperial Hospital and are investigating it. I believe there will be results soon."

"How is Zhou An's situation? Is it life-threatening?" the empress dowager asked again.

"The emperor is not bad, he is currently having fun in Changle Palace."

"Import the results immediately after finding them, and let the right prime minister come to see me." The empress dowager walked out of the training room and walked towards the hall.

"Yes." The Purple-in-law No. 7 responded and stood up and left.

Half an hour later, the right prime minister Shangguan Yuchen hurried to the hall of Yongshou Palace. As soon as he came in, the empress dowager pointed to the box on the table and said, "Someone bribed the Imperial Hospital to poison the emperor. I have blocked the news in the palace. Xuanyiwei has taken action. You should immediately delay the left prime minister and the others, and you cannot let them destroy the evidence."

"These old foxes finally showed their flaws, so I'll do it now." Shangguan Yuchen was happy and quickly got up and left.

In the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Xian frowned when he heard the secret agent's report and immediately said, "Notify Tan Daren, Lord Wang, Lord Cheng, Lord Zou come here."

"Yes." The spy left.

At this time, a young man in a servant's uniform walked out from behind the screen. Jiang Xian stood up and saluted and said, "The Sixth Prince, Xuanyiwei is dispatching a large number of people. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will do something big."

This person is Zhou An's sixth brother Zhou Di. Everyone thinks that Zhou Di fled from the Qianyuan Empire when the emperor was critically ill. No one expected that he would stay in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and be a servant.

"Did Lord Zuo Xiang attack the ninth brother?" Zhou Di asked with a frown.

"Please forgive me for your crime. The old minister knows that the sixth prince is concerned about his brotherly friendship and is unwilling to hurt the emperor. However, the current situation in the court is getting richer, and it is impossible for us to bring her down in other aspects. The only gap is that the emperor has passed away and then we can choose the royal bloodline to register.

Even if the empress dowager is much more powerful than us, she cannot be called emperor. She can only let the sixth prince ascend the throne. This is also the reason why she let Zhou An, an incompetent person, be the emperor." Jiang Xian bowed and apologized, but his expression and tone were very firm, and he did not look wrong at all.

"Taizu's teachings are left by the royal family, and brothers are forbidden from being killed by each other, and those who violate the punishment will be punished for death." Zhou Di said with a frown.

"Sixth Prince, this matter is related to the safety of the country and the country. If there is no way, we will not make such a bad decision. The emperor has been completely tamed by the empress dowager. If it is delayed for a few more years, the opposition forces in the court will be eliminated one by one. At that time, no one in the world will be able to stop the empress dowager from becoming emperor. I beg the sixth prince to make up his mind for the Qianyuan Empire." Jiang Xian immediately knelt down and begged.

Zhou Di immediately helped the left prime minister up and sighed and said, "The ninth brother is innocent. When the rebellion of the Empress Dowager is quelled in the future, I will personally go to the Taizu's spiritual throne to apologize."

Jiang Xian frowned, but he did not persuade him anymore. This was the royal family's teaching since childhood. He naturally knew that he would solve the Queen Mother's followers first and talk about other matters later.
