Chapter 414 The Queen is Poisoned

The three of them went to the place where Qin Zhenzhen was killed. It rained heavily yesterday and the traces were washed away. They went to Ningyuan Temple again. The nuns inside confirmed that Qin Zhenzhen did go to worship Buddha often during this period, and after worshiping Buddha, they would rest in the meditation room in the backyard, but they were alone every time and the maid did not take him.

They came to the backyard meditation room, which had been cleaned and found no clues.

The three of them struggled for a day, and when they returned to the city, it was already dark.

"I will go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow, indicating that the murderer is someone else, and let the Ministry of Justice investigate." Qin Shuyi had already completely believed that Yan Mu was not the real murderer who harmed his sister, but...

"The Master of the Concubine always thinks that Yan Mu is a trouble. This is a good opportunity to get rid of this trouble and can block Zhenbei's mouth. Therefore, the Master of the Concubine is very likely to turn a blind eye to it." Leng Yuxian said.

Because of his sister's funeral, Qin Shuyi returned home first.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Leng Yuxian said to Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief. She was too worried about Yan Mu, very afraid that he could not hold on.

"I want to go to the kindergarten."

“Kindergarten?”

"See if you can find the Queen."

If the queen was willing to help her, Yan Mu's case would be much easier to deal with.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Aunt Wen and Songzi were worried. It turned out that one of the children was sick, but they had no money to hire a doctor. Liu Yunxiang first gave Songzi a silver ingot and asked him to hire a doctor.

"Aunt Qiu hasn't been here in the past few days?" Liu Yunxiang asked Aunt Wen.

Aunt Wen shook her head, "Really speaking, she will definitely come to see the children one or two days apart. This time, it was several days apart and there was no news at all. I am really afraid that something would happen to her."

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Aunt Qiu learned the truth back then. Her daughter was killed by the emperor and Concubine Ming. Will she make any impulsive moves?

Very likely!

Liu Yunxiang pulled King Ying aside and whispered: "I think something might happen to the Queen. Can Your Highness enter the palace?"

When I was in Yuzhou, the King of England had to help him, and he was obliged to do so, "Okay."

King Ying went there now. Liu Yunxiang saw Aunt Wen holding a little boy about three years old. The little boy had a fever and was getting angry because of his physical discomfort. Aunt Wen hugged and coaxed her with heartache.

The other children were surrounded by the door, staring at each other.

There was a young man who was about a week later. He bit his finger and said angrily: "Grandma...I'm hungry..."

"Wait a little longer. When Brother Songzi comes back, grandma will cook for you." Aunt Wen turned around and said to the children.

Liu Yunxiang rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll cook."

"Oh, Miss Liu, I can't do it."

"It's okay, although the food I cook is not delicious, it can be eaten."

As he said that, Liu Yunxiang asked Yue'er to take her to the kitchen.

Yue'er helped her to burn the fire, Liu Yunxiang stewed a pot of vegetables, topped with steamed buns, and cooked rice porridge in another pot.

Although Yue'er didn't laugh much before, she could just tell that she was carefree. At this time, she was burning dullly, as if she was hiding something.

Liu Yunxiang sat next to her and rubbed her hair, "Yue'er, isn't anyone unhappy about you?"

Yue'er shook her head, and Liu Yunxiang hugged her shoulder, "Because of the pillar?"

Before, Han Zhao's sister hit Zhuzi to death in her carriage. Yue'er must have been frightened when she witnessed the accident with her own eyes.

Yue'er leaned against Liu Yunxiang's shoulder, "He...he can't run..."

Listening to this, Liu Yunxiang felt uncomfortable. She pulled Yue'er out of the kitchen and pointed to a cloud in the sky and said, "No, he ran to the sky. Look at how many he ran."

Yue'er widened her eyes in surprise, "Is that cloud a pillar?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but he must be a cloud in the sky. If you leave, he will leave, and if you stop, he will stop. He will always be with you in the sky."

Yue'er let out a wow, looking at the cloud, "This one must be a pillar...uh...he ran so fast!"

"Yeah, it must be."

Liu Yunxiang was ready to cook and was about to arrange for the children to have dinner. Songzi invited the doctor and used medicine for the child with fever. When the child fell asleep, Aunt Wen came out of the house.

"Miss Liu, thank you so much. If you hadn't come, we really wouldn't know what to do!"

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, "Don't say that, it's just a slight effort."

As the two were talking, Leng Yuxian hurried back, pulled Liu Yunxiang aside, and whispered: "I haven't seen the queen, but when several imperial physicians came out of the queen's harem, I found a familiar imperial physician and asked him what was going on. He first said that the queen had a cold and was in critical condition. When I saw his expression flashing, I asked him again before he told the truth."

Leng Yuxian paused when he said this, "The queen is poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

"The one in it is a very toxic called Qi Rijue. The symptoms are unintentional with wind and cold, so it is easy to misdiagnose."

"Since the queen is poisoned, why do you still have to say about wind and cold?"

Leng Yuxian's face darkened, "The emperor said it was wind and cold. Even if an imperial physician diagnosed it as poisoned, he would not dare to refute the emperor."

Liu Yunxiang's thoughts changed, and her face changed, "So the queen's poison is probably the emperor... the emperor."

Leng Yuxian silently, "The most urgent task is to find the antidote to save the queen first."

Liu Yunxiang took Leng Yuxian back to the Princess' Mansion from the back door, went directly to the Chongming courtyard, found Hongzhu, and asked her if she could prepare the antidote for the "Seven Days of Jue".

"Seven Days Away?" Hongzhu pondered for a long time, "I know that this poison is a very domineering poison. It first makes people feel confused, and then damages the internal organs."

As she said that, she went to search for a very thick booklet, "This booklet was written by my master, and it contains hundreds of ways to detoxify."

Soon, the red candle turned over, "Seven Days, there is a prescription for detoxification here!"

Liu Yunxiang was delighted on his face, "Hongzhu, hurry up and make a pill of detoxification."

Hongzhu nodded. The medicinal materials in her pharmacy were still very complete. After putting together various medicinal materials, she began to compare and boil them according to the method in the booklet. Because one of the medicinal materials contained highly toxic, after refining a pill, Hongzhu fed a mouse and ate one. As a result, the mouse fell to death as soon as it was eaten.

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of her mouth, "You are making poison, right?"

Fortunately, she was more rigorous, so she tried it with a mouse first. If she was directly given to the queen, they would have caused a big disaster and all of them would have lost their lives.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but pat her chest.

Hongzhu was also puzzled, "I clearly refined it according to the recipe written by my master, and every step was not bad."
