Yan Mu looked at the bowl of ginseng soup, for some reason he just wanted to laugh.

He would watch him drink the soup, and then it was over. His father's revenge, he was freed, and the damn person finally died.

"Yang He made the entire Yanzhou smoky. After Li Huai took office, he found that local officials were suspected of being corrupt and sheltered each other. The account of tax and silver handed over to the court was wrong." The emperor frowned and said, and he was so angry that he slapped the memorial on the table. "The year before yesterday, the court sent troops to suppress the riot in Nanzhou. It was the most critical time. The states spent money to help the court overcome difficulties. At that time, Yanzhou said that the grain harvest was poor that year, and not only could not afford the money, but also wanted relief from the court. After Li Huai investigated, he found that Yanzhou had a bumper harvest and the people paid enough grain tax, but the tax and silver were all embezzled by Yang He and the officials below!"

The emperor said angrily, only Yan Mu was in the room, so he was naturally talking to him. However, Yan Mu was also a suspect in the Yang He corruption case, so it would be inappropriate to discuss it with him.

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Yan Mu.

"how do you say?"

"It's not convenient for me to say anything."

The emperor sighed in a deep breath, "Speak, I want to hear what you said."

Yan Mu thought about it and said, "Yanzhou is like a house that is free of wind. There seems to be many secrets hidden inside, but outsiders can't see it, including Li Huai. Even if he took office as the Yanzhou Prefecture, he might not have entered this house."

"It seems that someone has to go to Yanzhou to knock on this door."

"yes."

"Who can I send?"

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and stopped talking. The court had serious party struggles. As long as the person who was not his, he would only hammer his charge to death. Although the emperor was foolish, he was not blind. He could see that, let's see if he protects him.

"There are a few books about you here, saying that your Zhenbei Army has been mobilized frequently recently, with 30,000 troops guarding Youzhou, but such a large military mobilization has not been reported to the court." The emperor said coldly.

"The Zhenbei Army is being mobilized normally, and some people have made a big fuss." Yan Mu said.

"oh?"

"If there is any abnormal movement, General Xiao Mengxiao, the governor of Youzhou, will be the first to report to the Chanerchen."

Hearing this, the emperor withdrew his gaze and did not pursue it any more.

"Father, the ginseng soup sent by the Empress is almost cold." Yan Mu said with a hint of cold light in his eyes.

The emperor stretched out his waist and pushed a bunch of memorials in front of him to the side, and then he brought the bowl of ginseng soup behind him.

Yan Mu looked at him picking it up, watching him put it to his mouth, and looked at him breathing a sigh of relief, and his heart was about to drink... His heart was thumping, and a sense of excitement came from bottom to top and rushed straight to his forehead.

Drink and drink...

But the next moment, the emperor looked up at him.

"You drink it too."

Yan Mu lowered his head, restrained the restlessness in his heart, and picked up a bowl of ginseng soup in front of him. At this moment, he suddenly hesitated, would this bowl of ginseng soup also be poisonous?

If it were him, since he had taken this step, it would be better to be more straightforward.

"Drink!" the emperor urged.

Yan Mu looked up at the emperor. At this moment, his face turned into distortion and became ferocious and terrifying. He urged him to drink this bowl of soup over and over again, like a spell.

Just bet, it’s going to be dead.

Thinking of this, he was a little excited, as if some kind of madness that had been suppressing was breaking out of the cage. And the bowl of ginseng soup in front of him seemed to smell the breath of death, which was so tempting.

His mind was empty, and he had only this bowl of soup in his heart and eyes. He was in an illusory state. It seemed that as long as he drank this bowl of soup, he could escape from his body and ascend to the mortal body.

Just as he was about to drink, someone rushed in and knocked off the bowl in his hand.

With a bang, he suddenly woke up from the madness. He looked up at the person who came. It was Shangguan Xu. He stared at him with wide eyes, his face full of anger.

"Shangguan Xu, what are you doing!" the emperor shouted.

Shangguan Xu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this soup cannot be drunk, it is poisonous!"

"It's poisonous?" The emperor hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, and even pushed the stool back with fear, "This soup was sent by the queen, so you can't talk nonsense."

"Yes, the ginseng soup sent by the Queen is for the restoration of my father and my Highness." Yan Mu said, leaning against the back of the chair behind him, his face calm and light, but no one saw his legs trembling under the table, and his hands hidden under his sleeves were as cold as ice.

He knew that if Shangguan Xu had not come in time, he would have drunk the bowl of soup.

At that moment, he was actually crazy.

Seeing Yan Mu's appearance, Shangguan Xu knew that he had returned to normal, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Even if he gave the slave ten thousand courage, the slave would not dare to speak nonsense."

It turned out that he saw a maid sneaking in the yard just now. He felt suspicious and asked the guard to arrest him. The maid was very panicked and quickly explained the truth after asking.

"I dare not delay, and rushed in as soon as I heard this. Fortunately, the emperor and His Highness had not yet drunk it."

As the emperor heard this, he looked at the bowl of ginseng soup on the table, narrowing his eyes, "This matter cannot be declared. You can go to the Imperial Hospital to find someone, and find a few more Imperial Doctors to let them test it."

"yes."

Shangguan Xu hurried out to make arrangements. Yan Mu slowly stood up and poured a cup of tea, and sent it to the emperor.

"Father, maybe it's a misunderstanding. The Empress loves and respects her father, so how could she poison you? She is also very kind to her son and will definitely not poison her son." Yan Mu said.

The emperor took the cup of tea and drank a few sips of shock.

"When you test it, you will know whether it is poisonous."

Yan Mu smiled and said, "If the governor Shangguan had not come in, the son of the minister had already drunk that bowl of soup. Whether it was poisonous was actually clear now."

"I'm so sorry that you didn't drink it."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and smiled. It was indeed a blessing that he had not drunk it. If this bowl of soup was poisonous, he had already died at this moment. If this bowl of soup was not poisonous, he would be unable to explain it later. After all, the queen should hate him more than the emperor.

He had thought of this and also thought of countermeasures, but at that moment he was demented.

Soon Shangguan Xu brought several imperial physicians, including Zhou Lihuai. He glanced at Yan Mu and saw that he was so calm that he felt relieved.

The bowl of ginseng soup on the ground was sprinkled cleanly, and it was no longer possible to verify whether it was poisonous. The emperor's bowl did not move, and several people took turns to check it and finally came up with the same result.

"Your Majesty, this bowl of ginseng soup is indeed poisonous, and it is highly toxic."

The emperor widened his eyes, his eyes trembled. When he heard the imperial physician say this, his face turned pale, and then he asked someone to take the bowl of ginseng soup to feed the dog. After a while, the guards came to report that it was said that after feeding the ginseng soup to the dog, the dog soon died of poison.
