After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

"The poison of the Western Regions, spring drunkenness." Emperor Qing seemed to chew these words in his mouth.

"I really underestimated you, the queen. I thought she was at her wit's end and could only stay in her Changqiu Palace all day long, lighting candles and drinking. I didn't expect that she even secretly hid such a powerful poison." Li Yunrui said sarcastically.

"What's the point of saying this now!" Emperor Qing said impatiently, then turned to Leng Duan, "Can you cure the poison in the young marquis?"

Leng Duan secretly glanced at Emperor Qing: "To be honest, I'm not sure."

"Then do you think Fei Jie, the host of your three departments, can detoxify my son?" Li Yunrui also asked.

Leng Duan was under the pressure of the gazes from Emperor Qing and the eldest princess at the same time, and sweat began to break out on his head.

"Maybe, better than me?"

Li Yunrui clapped his hands: "Yes, then he must be better than you, otherwise why is he the host and you not?"

Leng Duan was speechless and choked with emotion.

"It's just that our master was sent out on business by the dean. He just left a few days ago, and we don't know when he will be back..." Leng Duan looked embarrassed and said that he had no say in this matter.

He can't make the decision, but isn't there someone present who can make the decision?

"Then please trouble Your Majesty to call him back." Li Yunrui said in a tone that could not be refused.

Emperor Qing hesitated.

He knew what Fei Jie was doing. He was sent to Danzhou by Chen Pingping to be Fan Xian's teacher.

This Fan Xian...

Li Yunrui did not hear Emperor Qing's agreement, and immediately became angry. He waved his sleeves and dropped all the porcelain on the table to the ground.

"I'm really curious, what important matter does Fei Jie have to do that is more important than detoxifying my son?! Should I expect to hear the news that the old emperor of Northern Qi was assassinated in a few days?"

The people from the three departments of the Inspection Institute almost all buried their heads in the ground, wishing they would become deaf on the spot.

It's rare for Emperor Qing to feel a little guilty. Compared with teaching and saving lives, saving lives is definitely more important!

He was just about to say send someone to bring Fei Jie back when Yang Mei on the bed spoke.

"Wan'er, call him over to me." Yang Mei raised her hand and pointed at Leng Duan.

Lin Wan'er didn't understand, but she still walked over and tugged at Leng Duan's clothes obediently: "My brother is calling you."

Leng Duan knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move because Emperor Qing and the eldest princess hadn't spoken yet.

"Hurry up and go over there." Emperor Qing said as he walked towards the bed.

Leng Duan walked to the bedside and saluted Yang Mei: "Young Marquis."

"If I ask you to detoxify me, what method would you use?" Yang Mei asked Leng Duan.

"Well, it's probably fighting poison with poison." Leng Duan said as he lifted up his sleeve, and a triangular snake head poked out from his sleeve.

"Ah!!!" Lin Wan'er was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

“How dare you!” Even though Eunuch Hou had already hidden far away, he still scolded Leng Duan loudly, “Who allowed you to bring such a dangerous thing into the palace?!”

Emperor Qing and Princess Li Yunrui had not expected this and were both frightened by the poisonous snake in his sleeves.

However, these two were both people who had seen the world, and they just raised their eyebrows slightly to show their surprise, without any further missteps.

Yang Mei laughed and coughed at the same time: "Is this what you call fighting poison with poison? Let the poisonous snake bite me?"

Leng Duan then realized belatedly that he seemed to have been a little too presumptuous.

Where is this?

The palace!

My goodness, he secretly brought in a poisonous snake, and it would have been fine if he hadn't hidden it, but he actually took it out and showed it off!

I really think my life is too long!

So is it too late to kowtow and ask for forgiveness?

Hearing Yang Mei asking him a question, Leng Duan quickly pinched the cuffs of his sleeves and replied, "Of course not. I will use tools to extract the venom of this venomous snake, and then mix it with other medicinal herbs for the young marquis to use."

"Okay then," Yang Mei half closed her eyes, "I'll temporarily hand over my poison to you. Go back to the Inspection Office and prepare everything you need. You can live in the palace for a while.

As for Fei Jie..."

As he was speaking, he fell silent.

Lin Wan'er gently pushed Yang Mei: "Brother?"

Yang Mei fell asleep.

……

Leng Duan went back to the Inspection Institute with people from the other three departments. After entering, he went straight to see Chen Pingping.

"You said that the young marquis was poisoned by the Western Region Spring Drunk?" Chen Pingping's hands unconsciously rubbed the handles of the wheelchair. A shadow in a black robe and a mask stood behind him.

"That's for sure. Many years ago, I saw someone get poisoned like this, and he died in just half a cup of tea!" Leng Duan was still terrified. "The weirdest thing is, after he died, his body exuded a fragrance that smelled like tea or wine. Not only that, the body also had a weird smile on its face."

Even after so many years, he still felt a chill when he thought about it again.

"Are you sure you can detoxify?"

"No." Leng Duan shook his head, "But the young marquis asked me to be responsible for detoxifying him temporarily. To put it bluntly, I am just helping him to stay alive. When Master Fei comes back, I won't be needed anymore."

"Your Majesty, has there been an order to allow Fei Jie to return to Beijing?" Chen Pingping raised his eyes and asked.

Leng Duan recalled: "At that time, the princess strongly requested His Majesty to issue an order to recall Lord Fei. I think His Majesty is ready to agree. After all, no matter what important things Lord Fei has to do, it can't go beyond the matter of detoxifying the young marquis.

But at that time, the young marquis called me to speak to him, so Your Majesty didn't have time to say anything."

"Oh, that means no decree has been issued." Chen Pingping said lightly.

Leng Duan felt that there was something wrong with what he said: "Oh, my Dean, although His Majesty has not issued an order, isn't the meaning obvious? We should send a pigeon to ask Master Fei to return to the capital!"

"I don't think it's necessary." Chen Pingping seemed quite calm, not caring about the lives of others.

Leng Duan was really mad: "Hey, Dean, what do you mean you don't need to do it? The young marquis has been poisoned by the deadly Spring Drunk and could die at any time. Although I proposed the method of fighting poison with poison, I actually have no confidence at all.

Master Fei is far better than me in the use of poison. There is no one in the whole of Nanqing who is more authoritative than him in this regard. If we don't call him back now, when will we wait?

If the young marquis really can't hold on, I, the Third Department, and the Inspection Institute will all be in trouble!

I don't know what mission Lord Fei was sent to carry out, but it's impossible that he was really going to Northern Qi to assassinate the old emperor, right? If the mission he was carrying out was not as important as assassinating the old emperor, then why couldn't he be called back? "

The poisonous snake in his sleeve probably sensed his anxiety and began to move around in his sleeve.

Leng Duan paced back and forth in annoyance because of Chen Pingping's inexplicable attitude: "No, Dean, what are you thinking?"

Chen Pingping smiled to herself as if she was in a different world from him. "Why are you in such a hurry? Since the young marquis has asked you to detoxify him, you should pack up and go to the palace. Don't even think about whether the young marquis will live or die. What if you succeed in detoxifying him?"

"The dean means that we should simply not send a pigeon message to Lord Fei?" Leng Duan thought that this was really crazy.

Chen Pingping smiled and nodded: "No need, I know what I am doing."

Leng Duan didn't say anything else, after all, he was the director of the Inspection Institute.

……

Leng Duan lived in Guangxin Palace for more than half a year.

In the past six months, he tried every possible way to detoxify Yang Mei, but none of them worked. However, Yang Mei miraculously survived. Not only did she survive, she was still able to walk, jump, eat, and sleep, but she looked a little weaker than an ordinary person and would vomit blood at any time.

Compared to him, the queen is even more miserable.

The queen is crazy.

For no apparent reason, it seemed like an ordinary morning, but when the queen woke up, she didn't recognize anyone, she cried and laughed, shouted and screamed, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn to shreds, and she couldn't even control her bowel movements.

Her appearance made it easy for people who knew the inside story to suspect the eldest princess Li Yunrui.

Emperor Qing thought so too.

He always knew what kind of person his sister was, but it was hard to tell how much she loved her children.

But no matter what, all the suffering her own son is going through now should be blamed on the queen.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Li Yunrui to drive the queen crazy.

But this was not really done by Li Yunrui, but she was also happy to see it happen.

The real culprit behind the scenes was Yang Mei, who used his powerful spirit to torture the queen's mind day after day. Just like a blunt knife cutting flesh, the queen just felt a headache at first, and she thought she had drunk too much. Later, she began to have nightmares all night long, and her memory began to decline significantly.

Then, she went crazy.

Regardless of whether the queen was thinking about going crazy or someone was driving her crazy, just like what Li Yunrui said to Emperor Qing, there was no evidence.

Even if everyone thinks that the queen's madness is related to Guangxin Palace, so what? Who can prove it?

The Queen was originally under house arrest in Changqiu Palace. Now that she had gone mad, it was even more impossible for Emperor Qing to release her. He even increased the defenses outside Changqiu Palace.

More than half a year later, Fei Jie returned from Danzhou.

After he came back, he learned that half a year ago, the young marquis had been poisoned by Chunrizui, and the princess intended to bring him back to help the young marquis detoxify. His Majesty apparently agreed, but for some reason he did not issue a formal decree.

But even if there was no decree, these words were said in front of the people from the Third Department, and these people told Chen Pingping what happened when they returned to the Inspection Institute.

Well, well, well, a normal person should also take the initiative to share the worries of His Majesty and the Princess, right?

Chen Pingping just did nothing.

Emperor Qing and the eldest princess also seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter.

"Why does this matter seem so weird to me?" Fei Jie stroked his beard, not feeling optimistic.

He had just returned to Kyoto from Danzhou. Would there be any bloody disaster right away?

"Dean, what are you thinking? Aren't you afraid that if something really happens to the young marquis, the higher-ups will be angry with our Inspection Institute?" Fei Jie's current mood of seeing a ghost coincides with Leng Duan's mood half a year ago.

Chen Pingping still had that smiling face: "But the facts prove that the young marquis is still alive and well, and His Majesty and the eldest princess haven't blamed him yet.

Fei Jie closed his eyes in annoyance.

"So according to what you said, even if I come back now, I don't have to go to the palace?"

Chen Pingping leaned his elbows on the wheelchair handles and crossed his fingers casually: "You have to go."

Seeing him like this, Fei Jie was so angry that he could not contain himself.

"It was you who didn't send me a pigeon letter before, and it's you who let me enter the palace now. So you also know that the young marquis's poisoning is an important matter? People who don't know would think that he is not poisoned, but has a stomachache that has not healed for half a year!"

Chen Pingping still smiled: "Go ahead." Then he let the shadow push him away.

Push, go!

"Hey! I'm asking you for no reason!" Fei Jie jumped up and said.

Saying these words is the same as not saying them.

Fei Jie started to think about it again. He had been teaching Fan Xian in Danzhou for more than half a year.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is not as important as detoxifying the young marquis, so the reason he didn't come back is because Chen Pingping didn't send him a carrier pigeon. But outsiders wouldn't think so much, and the blame still has to be put on him.

Now he is back in Kyoto. As everyone knows, in Kyoto, even the stones can talk.

Fei Jie thought with his feet, knowing that His Majesty and the Princess must have known that he was back.

I have to go, Fei Jie thought.

What happens next depends entirely on fate.

Although Chen Pingping might cheat him, he wouldn't want to kill him, right?

……

Inside Guangxin Palace, Yang Mei was curled up in a furry chair looking at the account book.

Under the leadership of Princess Li Yunrui and the subtle intervention of Yang Mei, all the servants in Guangxin Palace are loyal and will never betray them.

So Li Yunrui would just put important things like account books on the table or on his laptop.

In December, the howling wind outside was frightening. Everyone thought that Yang Mei would be blown away if she went out, given her small body. So Yang Mei followed the advice and stayed indoors.

He didn't just read account books, he also read historical travelogues, vernacular novels, and opera scripts.

"Young Marquis, the chief of the Third Division of the Inspection Institute, Mr. Fei, is outside asking to see you." A maid came in and bowed respectfully beside Yang Mei and said.

"No one is allowed to enter the palace without being summoned. How did he get in?" Yang Mei was still flipping through the account book slowly.

"I heard that he came in with Dean Chen's token."

"Oh." Yang Mei said calmly, "What is he doing here?"

The maid was a little confused and glanced at Yang Mei secretly: "I guess she is here to detoxify the young marquis."

Yang Mei nodded: "Go out and tell him that I'm dead, so there's no need for him to detoxify me."

The maid slid down on her knees and said, "Young Marquis, don't say such things carelessly! Young Marquis will surely live a long life!"

Yang Mei finally put down the account book in his hand and smiled: "Okay, Dingxiang, get up, don't make a fuss all the time.

Just tell Fei Jie exactly what I said. No matter what, don't let him enter Guangxin Palace today."
