"..." Ye Chenfeng pursed his lips and said nothing. He had hated this woman before, but this time the imperial grandmother was fine. She was indeed the one who prevented the disaster.
But if it weren't for her instigation, the imperial grandmother would not have rushed to the banquet, so he was not soft-hearted and would only save people as much as possible. However -
The Empress Dowager was so soft-hearted that she even spoke, "Xiaojiu, you..."
"The Empress Dowager, the Prince Regent, the two Highnesses of the Divine Dynasty and the Dharma King are asking for an audience outside the palace."
The eunuch's report interrupted what the Empress Dowager was about to say.
Ye Chenfeng immediately responded, "Let them come in."
Mei Wenhua, who was looking forward to it, looked dark, as if she was about to die.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager was anxious in her heart, "Wanwan, hold on! Only those who survive will be blessed."
Hope flashed slightly in Mei Wenhua's eyes, and just as she was about to speak, Shenyang and his entourage had already entered the palace, so quickly!
And as soon as Prince Shenyang entered the palace, he said: "I heard that someone has been poisoned by my Xijiang poison again?"
"Exactly." Ye Chenfeng said without any nonsense, "He is right here. Prince, please take a look first?"
"Come here, my king." His Majesty Shengle was positive and stepped forward to diagnose Mei Wenhua's pulse.
Then he took some poisonous blood and tasted it, but he frowned and said, "It's really my poison from Western Xinjiang. It's called Qiriku. It's not common, but it's not uncommon. Some merchants sell it."
"Is there an antidote?" the Empress Dowager asked hopefully.
King Shengle shook his head, "No, but those who sell this poison will sell the antidote together. If you find the person who poisoned it, you should have the antidote."
"Didn't you do it?" Ye Chenfeng asked suddenly, his eyes fixed on the faces of the three of them!
But I saw that except His Holiness His Majesty Shengle, Kagura and Shenyang were quite angry, and the latter even scolded, "Regent, please don't bully others too much! His Holiness is kind-hearted, and when he heard that someone was suspected of being poisoned by our Western Territory, he hurriedly
I came here, but you beat me up?"
"The Poison of the Western Region has never appeared in our dynasty before, but it has appeared frequently after the arrival of the three of them. I am just suspicious, so why should the prince be angry?" Ye Chenfeng said quietly.
Shenyang was so angry that he sneered again and again, "His Holiness, let's go! You have good intentions, but some people want to impose charges on you."
"Your Highness, don't be upset. The poison comes from the Western Regions. It is indeed connected with our divine dynasty. Please help if you can, and don't be afraid of what others say." The magnanimous Dharma King Shengle said eloquently, "Even if there is no antidote for this poison, there will be no antidote for it."
He will die immediately and has seven days to live."
"Is it implied that the antidote can be found within seven days?" the Empress Dowager asked confirmingly.
"That's right." King Shengle nodded and said, "It's just that during these seven days, the poisoned person will feel very uncomfortable. The water and blood in the body will gradually dry up and cannot be replaced until they turn into mummies."
The Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, and she looked at Mei Wenhua with pity, but the latter shook her head slightly, indicating that she was fine, which was even more pitiful.
"Then find out the murderer first! Keep up with the development of the antidote, seven days is enough!" Ye Chenfeng finished his words and ordered, "Since the Dharma King knows this poison, you still need to cooperate with my people.
Develop an antidote as soon as possible."
King Shengle nodded in agreement and urged, "Then start immediately. Although the toxicity of Seven Day Blight is not serious, it is ever-changing. Without the rationed antidote, it is extremely difficult to develop it."
"Okay." Ye Chenfeng immediately summoned his attendant and ordered him to take Dharma King Shengle to Yun Gu.
At this moment, Yun Gu has entered the imperial hospital and is working with several imperial doctors who have researched on poisons to develop an antidote.
…
After the Shenyang brother and sister left, the Empress Dowager also arranged for people to place the Mei Wen paintings properly, and then leaned tiredly on the soft chair and asked, "What do you think?"
When asked, Ye Chenfeng shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say. Based on what we have seen so far, the suspicion of these three poisoning is extremely small, but it cannot be ruled out that they gave the poison to others."
The Empress Dowager understood what he meant. This other person was nothing more than the Emperor or the Queen Mother, and if it was really these two people, most likely nothing would be found.
The Queen Mother said without hope, "It depends on the progress of the antidote. If the antidote is hopeless..."
"No!" Ye Chenfeng shook his head and interrupted, then looked outside the hall.
Mei Wen'er, who had left and returned, raised her eyes and met Ye Chenfeng's gaze.
"Have you eaten yet?" the Queen Mother asked in surprise.
Aunt Hexi then reported, "The princess said she was too hungry and couldn't eat. She only ate a few mouthfuls of silver noodles."
"No wonder you are so thin." The Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed, "I haven't done a good job in confinement, and I don't eat enough. I may be able to hold on at my young age now, but I will suffer in the future."
Ye Chenfeng was convinced, "What the imperial grandmother said is that her grandson will definitely keep an eye on her and eat more in the future."
"Royal grandmother, grandson-in-law only eats less today. It was not like this in the past. Moreover, I heard that people from Western Xinjiang have been here. What do you think? Is there any clue about the antidote?" Mei Wen'er was worried about this matter and naturally couldn't eat it.
of.
The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "No. Speaking of which, there is something going on with the Ai family. I would like to ask your permission. Is that okay?"
"The Imperial Grandmother has betrayed my grandson-in-law. You just have a request. If my grandson-in-law can do it, she will do her best." When Mei Wen'er replied, she vaguely guessed what the Empress Dowager wanted her to agree to.
really……
As Mei Wen'er expected, the Empress Dowager said: "Wanwan hopes to return to the palace before she dies and have the title of concubine. You see, this person is about to die, so she wants to
Do you wish?"
"Grandma Imperial..." Ye Chenfeng, who had a slight headache, just wanted to refuse.
But Mei Wen'er had already said, "If she really can't be saved, my granddaughter-in-law will definitely refuse, and she will try her best to persuade the prince to agree, but my granddaughter-in-law will never let anything happen to her! Don't worry."
"?" The Empress Dowager didn't understand. You said nothing would happen, so it wouldn't?
Fortunately, Mei Wen'er had already explained, "Daughter-in-law has been suffering from heart disease since she was a child. In fact, she has done a lot of research on various medicinal materials. She has experienced hundreds of poisons. As long as the person is not about to die, she is still sure to help save the person."
.”
"this……"
The Empress Dowager naturally didn't believe it, so she looked at Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng's mood was a little complicated, but he still nodded, "My grandson has also been poisoned before, as Wen'er understood, but it was not easy for her and it was too consuming.
She has just gone through another life and death, and she looks lively, but in fact you have also seen that she is so thin and small that you don't even think of someone who has just finished confinement, so my grandson didn't want her to waste her energy anymore."
"You." The Empress Dowager sighed softly, but she could understand. Ye Chenfeng had told her what Mei Wen'er had gone through, and she already knew it.
At the moment, she was in a dilemma and said, "If nothing can be done, forget it. You are a mother yourself, so you have to take care of yourself."
The Empress Dowager, who didn't say she refused, but only told her to control her temperament, couldn't hold it anymore, "Xiaojiu, help Ai's family go in and lie down for a while. Over there, Wen'er, if you want to go, let Hexi take you there."
Take a look."
Mei Wen'er naturally agreed, and when her grandfather and grandson entered the inner hall, she asked Hexi to take her to see Mei Wenhua, ha! This "Bai Yueguang" really didn't give up!
Anyway, if you have to make trouble, let's do it! She was worried about how to deal with the people in Xijiang, and Mei Wenhua came to her door herself, so she had to get a big gift package in return!
