The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie seriously and said: "Send someone to prepare a flute made of purple bamboo immediately. Also, I will write a herbal prescription and have someone prepare it immediately. Also, prepare a large bathtub and put it in the yard outside, and prepare two iron chains."

Xiao Zijin asked curiously: "What do you need the chains for?"

"Of course, tie him up."

"Zi Jin, go and do as Ling'er said."

"Oh"

Xue Zhiyan said: "Miss Shangguan, I have not been able to check on Xuanqi. Can you tell me whether he was poisoned or not?"

Shangguan Ziling walked and said: "He has been poisoned. Of course you can't detect it by testing for poison."

Shangguan Ziling walked to the stone bench in the yard and sat down. When the people behind her heard this, their faces changed drastically.

"Bewitched?"

"Well, why are you guys looking like this?"

When the previous emperor of their Dongyue Dynasty was in power, he hated poison so much that he issued an express order to ban it. Once discovered, it would be a serious crime. In minor cases, the whole family would be exiled, and in serious cases, the family property would be confiscated and the whole family would be exterminated. However, Min Yoongi was investigating the smuggling of salt in the south when he was poisoned.

At that time, the previous emperor ordered the burning of all books related to Gu poison. Xue Zhiyan had been practicing medicine and saving lives, and had never come into contact with Gu poison, so he was at a loss for a moment.

Le Wenshu opened his folding fan and fanned himself, saying seriously, "The late emperor issued an order that our dynasty would ban poison. Once discovered, the entire clan would be exiled for minor offenses and exterminated for serious offenses. Yuqi followed the prince's order to go south to investigate the smuggling of salt, but he didn't expect to be unconscious when he returned. Now Miss Shangguan said she was poisoned. I'm afraid Yuqi must have found something that caused this. I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still descendants of the Nan family?"

"Nan's family?"

“Miss Shangguan, you don’t know that the Nan family was Concubine Nan’s maiden family, and the Nan family is best at raising Gu.

At that time, Concubine Nan was jealous of the late emperor and his first wife's love as before, so she poisoned his first wife and second wife. The first wife eventually died from the poison. The late emperor was furious and ordered Concubine Nan to be executed.

Because of the death of Concubine Nan, the Nan family used a curse to control all the people in Nancheng, and the barracks in Nancheng rebelled. At that time, the late emperor and General Mo attacked Nancheng. Although the late emperor and General Mo finally recaptured Nancheng, many soldiers died, which was quite tragic.

Mo Shaoxie narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Ling'er, is there any way to avoid the poison?"

Shangguan Ziling thought for a while and said: "Hmm? There is a way, but it's a bit troublesome and it can't be done in a day or two."

Xue Zhiyan's eyes lit up, "I wonder what the solution is?"

Shangguan Ziling mentioned several kinds of medicinal herbs, all of which were very rare. Xue Zhiyan took a pen and wrote them down. Shangguan Ziling mentioned more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs.

Shangguan Ziling said: "Boil the herbs I just mentioned together for 49 days, then dry them in the sun, grind them into powder, then pour the powder into the boiled water, continue drying in the sun, put the remaining powder in a purse and wear it. Ordinary poisons will not be able to get close to you."

Xue Zhiyan carefully wrote down everything Shangguan Ziling said.

Shangguan Ziling yawned and said: "Although it is troublesome, it is very effective."

"No trouble, no trouble. I have already memorized them one by one. I will teach them here to Miss Shangguan. I will go to the pharmacy to see what herbs are missing and ask someone to go out and look for them. When all the herbs are found, I will do as Miss Shangguan said." After Xue Zhiyan finished speaking, he bowed to Mo Shaoxie and hurried downstairs.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Xue Zhiyan's hurried appearance and muttered: "Does he have to be so anxious?"

Le Wenshu shook his head and said: "After the Nan family's rebellion, everyone in the Dongyue Dynasty is afraid of the poison. They thought that all the people in the Nan family were dead. Now that Xuan has been poisoned, I'm afraid there are still people in the Nan family alive. Once there are people in the Nan family alive, I'm afraid that the hatred towards the royal family will come back again. Naturally, we must be prepared."

Shangguan Ziling nodded to show her understanding.

"Here they are." Xiao Zijin, Mo Feng and others came back with what Shangguan Ziling said.

After everything was ready, the man was brought out and put into a large bathtub. His arms were tied behind his back and his legs were also tied, making him kneel in the bathtub.

Shangguan Ziling said: "Fill the pot with water and light the fire. The two of you hold it tightly so that he won't break free later."

"Yes." Two secret guards pressed on each side.

After the water was filled, the firewood piled under the tub began to burn.

Shangguan Ziling took the purple flute and started to play it. The people present thought Shangguan Ziling's flute sounded very nice and were all intoxicated by it.

Suddenly, the sound of Shangguan Ziling's flute changed abruptly, becoming sharp and unpleasant.

Mo Shaoxie frowned and looked at Shangguan Ziling.

Min Yoongi in the bucket opened his bloodshot eyes, and his body began to twist violently, making strange sounds from his throat that made people's scalps numb.

With a "bang", the bathtub broke, and water flowed out, extinguishing the firewood below.

Two secret guards flew down, each holding Min Yoongi in one hand, while the other held him down on the other side.

Shangguan Ziling stopped playing the flute, took the silver needle and quickly inserted it into several acupuncture points on Min Yoongi's head, who was kneeling on the ground. Shangguan Ziling's speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left.

Slowly, the person who was still twisting wildly stopped, his throat no longer made strange sounds, and his eyes closed.

Shangguan Ziling said: "Bring a basin and put it in front of him."

Mo Feng quickly took a basin and placed it in front of Min Yoongi.

In just a cup of tea, the quiet person suddenly started vomiting violently, and only fainted when he could not vomit anymore.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses because the smell was too overpowering.

Xiao Zijin looked at the densely packed little bugs in the basin and ran to the side to vomit.

Shangguan Ziling said: "Bring some lime and pour it in, be careful."

"Yes," a secret guard brought some lime and poured it in. Shangguan Ziling took out a bottle of alcohol and some combustion powder from the space and threw them in, saying: "Ignite."

A secret guard lit the fire again, and the contents of the basin immediately started to burn.

"Stand back, this black smoke is a little poisonous. After it burns to ashes, dig a pit one or two feet deep and bury it." After Shangguan Ziling finished speaking, Mo Shaoxie hugged her and left.

Mo Shaoxie brought Shangguan Ziling to his yard. Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling tightly and whispered in her ear: "Ling'er, the more I get along with you, the more I find that you understand. You are like a treasure."

Shangguan Ziling rolled her eyes, pushed him but failed to move him away, and said, "Let me go!"

"I will not let go."

"If you don't let me go, I will poison you to death."

"Ling'er, are you willing to give it up?"

Shangguan Ziling said casually: "I'm tired, let me go."

Mo Shaoxie picked up Shangguan Ziling horizontally. Shangguan Ziling was startled and hugged his neck with both hands, and asked nervously: "You, you, what are you doing?"

"Ling'er, don't move. Aren't you tired? I'll carry you to rest." Mo Shaoxie walked into the room and gently placed Shangguan Ziling on his bed.

Shangguan Ziling: She just said it casually, okay?

Shangguan Ziling rolled over and looked at Mo Shaoxie with a vigilant look.
