Both Xia Helin and the emperor had received Dongming Ziyu's letter and knew that Bai Qingqing was in King Xuan's fief, and King Xuan did not keep this secret.
This means that the person behind it must also know about it, and may send someone to monitor Bai Qingqing, or even assassinate her. In this way, it will be very difficult for Bai Qingqing to come to the capital to detoxify the emperor.
The emperor naturally expected this, rubbed his forehead and said: "I will find a way, and you can continue to study the antidote."
Xia Helin bowed and said: "Yes!"
He took out three medicine bottles from the medicine box and handed them to Duofu, "These are pills for detoxification, pain relief and strengthening vitality. Although they cannot completely detoxify, they can slow down the disease and prolong life."
Duofu accepted it and handed a stack of banknotes to Imperial Doctor Xia, "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Xia!"
Xia Helin took the bank note to express his gratitude and exited the hall.
Only then did Duofu cry, "Your Majesty, who is so cruel that he uses such vicious poison!"
Instead, the emperor calmed down and said calmly: "Stop crying and polish the ink for me."
He wanted to tell Dongming Ziyu about the situation, hoping to come to his wedding and bring the antidote, or ask Bai Qingqing to disguise himself as a follower, or even disguise himself as Shangguan Ruoli and go to Beijing.
This was the purpose of his decree for the vassal king to return to Beijing to attend his wedding. Because it was not yet determined whether it was an illness or a virus, he did not explain the situation to King Xuan.
Duofu wiped his tears and rubbed the ink slowly, frowning and looking blankly.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said: "Your Majesty, would you like to contact the witch doctor clan? They have been good at poison and poison for generations. Maybe they know about the Withered Bones Tribulation."
The emperor stopped writing, "Although I have the Xuantian Bell, I don't know its specific usage. Should I let someone take the Xuantian Bell to the Miao border?"
It is said that the witch doctor clan will recognize Xuantian Bell as its owner when they see it, but it must be allowed to be seen by the witch doctor clan.
Duofu frowned and said, "Why don't you, Your Majesty, just write a letter to Princess Liya?"
Seeing the emperor's expression of resistance, Duofu hurriedly said: "It's about the dragon body. Your Majesty, don't worry about those miscellaneous things. If Doctor Bai can't do anything, or something goes wrong, the Emperor must have another way out!"
If we start from multiple directions, we may have a chance of survival.
The emperor felt that what Duofu said was reasonable, "Okay!"
In fact, he felt that there was little hope in his heart. He felt that Liya must have resented his refusal to marry him, and it would be fine as long as she did not add insult to injury.
Duofu looked more relaxed and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, we can't just leave that girl alone. She knows how to control beasts. If someone takes advantage of her and uses poisonous insects to harm you, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The emperor dipped his pen in the ink, "I have asked Gu Lingran to investigate secretly. As long as she moves, there will be signs."
Now, the main thing is to find out who poisoned him.
He has been very careful, and everyone around him has also been strictly checked. Unless he is the most trusted person, he will not succeed.
Duofu? Queen Mother? Tenth Emperor’s Brother?
…
"Snapped!"
His Highness the Tenth Prince smashed a delicate teacup to the ground. The teacup immediately broke into pieces and the tea splashed everywhere.
"Trash!" There was a vicious murderous look in his eyes, and there was no shadow of the usual sunny boy.
Laixi knelt down tremblingly on the side, "Your Highness, calm down! Your Highness, calm down!"
The handsome little face of His Highness the Tenth Prince was hideous and hideous because of his anger and cruelty, "How can I calm down my anger? Most of the people who worked so hard to place in Xuanzhou have lost half of their hands! How can these people be so useless! King Xuan is really good at it!"
Laixi consoled him: "His Royal Highness is still young. It is the first time to arrange manpower outside. It is not easy to do such a good job. Just put it in again and again, and His Highness will do better every time."
The gloominess on His Highness's face softened a bit, he glared at Laixi and said, "Get up, you are the only one who knows how to flatter me."
Laixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and whispered: "Your Highness is extremely smart, and there is no way that those people who asked Yan Wen to appoint people in the name of the Queen Mother will be able to support Your Highness."
His Royal Highness's face gradually returned to normal, and he said: "This time, the Queen Mother has been troubled. Take the white jade Guanyin that I found and bring it to Cining Palace."
Laixi smiled and said, "Yes!"
Laixi ran into the hall and came out soon holding a sandalwood box.
His Royal Highness stood up, straightened the wrinkles on his robe, and walked out of the palace.
A eunuch ran in, knelt on the ground, and said: "I pay homage to His Highness, I have something to report."
His Highness the Tenth Prince straightened his wide sleeves and frowned, "Say!"
The eunuch said: "Back to Your Highness, the people who went to capture the child sent word that someone is following them. They can only take the child a long way around. I'm afraid they will be late."
His Highness the Tenth Prince nodded, "Give me the order, and if it doesn't work, I'll kill the girl! If you don't get it, you can't let others take advantage of it!"
"Yes!" The eunuch kowtowed and retreated.
His Highness the Tenth Prince also walked out of the room. As soon as he saw the palace people coming and going outside, all the sinister expressions on his face disappeared, and he returned to the innocent, sunny and beautiful young man.
When we arrived at the Cining Palace of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was also losing her temper. The ground was in a mess, which showed that she was very angry.
His Highness the Tenth Prince's eyes flashed. Ever since the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen Mother had eased, the Queen Mother had not lost such a temper for a long time.
"Mother! What's wrong with you?" He trotted over, with a look of concern and anxiety on his face, "Mother is so angry that it hurts your health. Mother, please take care of yourself!"
The Queen Mother's face turned livid with anger, and she let out a long breath from her nostrils.
His Royal Highness carefully rubbed the Queen Mother's back, and said softly and concernedly: "Who made the Queen Mother angry? Could it be the Emperor's brother..."
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "It's not your brother, it should be King Xuan!"
Indeed, the emperor is ill now and has not had the chance to come to the queen mother to ask about Xuanzhou's detailed work.
His Highness the Tenth Prince's eyes darkened, "King Xuan? What did he do?"
The Queen Mother said angrily: "All the properties under the Ai family's name have been destroyed, and Yan Wen and the people who worked for Yan Wen have also disappeared!"
This was obviously something about Netherworld Palace that King Xuan knew about, and revenge was coming!
Don't you have the money to hire killers and support the scum of the world? Her financial resources are cut off now.
His Highness the Tenth Prince's face turned grim, "Yan Wen is missing?"
It would be fine if he died, but it would be troublesome if he was caught. Many things between him and the Queen Mother were done through Yan Wen.
The Queen Mother was also very anxious, "Yes, the Ai family has sent people to look for him, I hope he is dead!"
His Royal Highness nodded solemnly, "His son is also my son's companion. He should be a smart man."
The Queen Mother felt a lot more relaxed after hearing this, but if her property was destroyed, it would be nothing but money. She could never get out of this tone!
His Highness the Tenth Prince turned his eyes slightly and said comfortingly: "If your mother is short of money, your sons and ministers will be filial to you."
The Queen Mother patted his hand and said happily: "My dear son, didn't you earn your money from your brother's shop?"
His Royal Highness's eyes sharpened suddenly, and his heart sank. The Queen Mother was right, all the money belonged to the Imperial Brother!
