I held the pillar tightly with one hand and reached out to catch the medicine bottle with the other hand, and asked, "Is it that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple." Du Changfeng answered concisely.

I said happily, "Then I'll go down."

Du Changfeng moved to the side.

But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't move, Du Changfeng said unhappily: "Why don't you go down."

I stared at Du Changfeng with wide eyes and said, "Take me down with you."

Du Changfeng's face immediately darkened, and he asked unhappily, "How did you get up here?"

I can't give Wei Chang away!

So I stiffened my neck and said, "Don't worry about it. I can't go down anyway. If you don't take me down, I will stay here all night."

"Haha, you're quite tough!" Before Du Changfeng could finish his words, he picked me up and carried me down like a chicken.

Are all these masters so willful in their actions? They never need to give notice before taking action.

I was carried so hard that I felt dizzy and lost my balance. I fell to the ground with a plop!

Du Changfeng looked at me coldly without saying anything, and I suspected he did it on purpose.

I really wanted to pack up and quit, but then I immediately thought of going in to take a look at Zheng Xian. Maybe this would be the last time, so I struggled to stand up.

As soon as I stood up, Du Changfeng threw me a set of eunuch clothes and said, "Put on this set of clothes and go in."

You want me to play the eunuch again? ! !

I was about to refuse, but Du Changfeng rolled his eyes at me and said, "You don't want to dress up as a eunuch, do you want to dress up as a palace maid? Your figure is similar to that of a maid, but I don't have any clothes for a maid. Think carefully before you come in."

It’s not the first time I’m playing a eunuch, so why not!

I gritted my teeth and put on the eunuch uniform.

After I put on the eunuch uniform, Du Changfeng actually nodded and praised: "It seems that the eunuch uniform suits you best!"

I rolled my eyes at him and asked, "Can I come in now?"

Du Changfeng nodded.

I was holding the porcelain bottle tightly in my hand and was about to walk in.

Du Changfeng found a small tray from somewhere and handed it to me, saying, "A eunuch should behave like a eunuch, nod his head, bend his legs, and take smaller steps. How can you behave so recklessly?!"

Du Changfeng was a military general, and offending him might be even worse than offending Gongsun Wen. I had no choice but to take the tray, put the medicine bottle on the tray, lowered my head, bent over, and walked towards the bedroom in small steps, imitating the eunuchs.

The two rooms are connected, and I only need to step through one door to enter the bedroom.

As soon as I stepped through the door, I heard the Queen Mother saying loudly: "Now that your Majesty has been poisoned and is unconscious, do the Queen and the Crown Prince know that there was a will?"

The huge bedroom suddenly became so quiet that even the buzzing of mosquitoes flying by could be heard.

Seeing no one responded, the Queen Mother continued, "Since there is no will, in my opinion, the throne should be occupied by the most capable person."

When Princess Zheng Yan heard this, she was immediately unhappy. Her own brother was the crown prince, and even if there was no will, according to the law or convention, the crown prince should succeed to the throne.

Zheng Yan was Zheng Xian's first child. After she was born, she was doted on by the emperor and empress. She was straightforward, innocent, and fearless. She immediately stood up and refuted, "Even if my father did not issue a will, the prince is still the only choice for the emperor to succeed the throne. How can there be a re-election? Besides, my father is still fine now. It is really disrespectful to discuss this matter at this time."

Before Zheng Yan could finish her words, the empress dowager slapped Zheng Yan in the face with her backhand. The sharp nails scratched Zheng Yan's delicate face, and blood immediately gushed out like beads from a broken string.

Zheng Yan screamed "Ah", quickly covered her face, and started crying "Wow".

Zheng Yan was doted on in the palace, and she married a newly crowned top scholar. He was talented and beautiful, and he obeyed her advice. It could be said that she had never suffered any grievances in her life. However, this slap stunned her.

When the queen saw her precious daughter being beaten, she rushed over in pain, gently stroking Zheng Yan's face and said solemnly, "Your Highness, even if Yan'er has done a thousand things wrong, you shouldn't hit her face. A woman's appearance is so important. If she is disfigured, wouldn't Yan'er's life be ruined?"

The Queen Mother's face darkened and she said coldly, "How dare you! Come, drag these two fools out and beat them to death!"

I saw that the situation was not right, so I quickly walked to Zheng Yan with the tray and said loudly: "Your Highness, this is the medicine for His Majesty. Please help His Majesty take the medicine."

After I made such a mess, Zheng Yan quickly waved his hand and asked people to help the Queen and Zheng Yan to the side for protection.

The empress dowager was so angry that she gnashed her teeth but there was nothing she could do. After all, this was the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the emperor's people were all here, so it was not a good idea to tear her face off right away.

Zheng Yan looked at me, then at the medicine in my hand, with a look of obvious surprise on his face. He asked without thinking, "What medicine is this?"

I was stunned by the question. How could I know what kind of medicine this was? Du Changfeng asked me to get it and I took it. He didn't tell me.

Seeing my hesitation, Zheng Yan's face suddenly darkened and he shouted, "Can you feed any medicine to your father? Your medicine is too suspicious. Tell me, where did this medicine come from?"

I was stunned by the scolding. I looked up and saw Zheng Yan blinking desperately. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me and I said, "This is what Dr. Sun sent just now. He said it can detoxify."

I'm sorry, Doctor Sun, Zheng Yan, the killer, forced me to say this...

After hearing this, Zheng Yan said, "Hmm," "Since it was sent by Imperial Physician Sun, you can try a few pills. Only after you confirm that they are non-toxic can you give them to your father."

"Me?!" I was completely shocked. This damn guy actually asked me to try out some medicine. Damn, who knows what kind of medicine this is. What if it poisons me to death?

Seeing my worried look, Zheng Yan snorted coldly and said, "You don't want to?"

I turned my head and looked around. Everyone was looking at me like a monster. They would probably cut me into pieces if I said I didn't want to.

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and say, "Yes, of course I am willing. It is my blessing to test the medicine for Your Majesty!"

After that, I put the tray on the coffee table beside the bed. Taking the opportunity to put the tray down, I secretly glanced at Zheng Xian and found that his face looked even weirder, dark and red, like a ripe lotus. I have never seen such a face in all my years of studying medicine. Zheng Xian's breath was very weak, as if he was going to die at any time.

Although I was extremely worried, I didn't dare show it too obviously.

I picked up the medicine bottle, pulled out the cork, poured out a pill with trembling hands, gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, threw the pill into my mouth, and started chewing.

I didn’t expect the pills to be sweet!

My eyes widened immediately. This was a sugar pill, not medicine at all.

Thinking that these were sugar pills, I immediately gained confidence. I poured out a few more and said loudly, "One pill may not show the efficacy. I'll try a few more and see."

After saying that, he stuffed it into his mouth.

Zheng Yan was stunned by my operation, snatched the medicine bottle and said, "Just try one, you are still eating it like a candy pill."
