I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"This poison is called the afterlife. When burned, it produces a strange fragrance. The toxin is mild but can penetrate deep into the veins and is difficult to remove. Once the toxin penetrates deep into the bone marrow, even Hua Tuo cannot cure it."

"However, if you want this poison to kill someone, it will take at least 49 days of accumulation. Fortunately, the toxins in Su Zhaoyi's body are still shallow and floating on the surface, so you just need to rest assured and recuperate."

"If the poison was not serious, why did he vomit blood and faint?" Xiao Heng recalled the dinner that day. He was about to go to the Queen to comfort her, but he heard Su Minglang's weak voice. When he turned around, he saw Su Minglang falling straight down, with blood gushing from the corners of his mouth, wetting the palace maid's clothes.

He had never been so afraid of blood as he was at that moment.

"Your Majesty, according to the maidservant beside Su Zhaoyi, the incense used in the dinner that day also came from Linglong Palace. I have indeed heard a rumor that the poison of the afterlife is always accompanied by the underworld, and it can be controlled immediately and kill people without being seen."

"The poison of Huangquan can stimulate the poison of the past life, causing it to explode suddenly and kill instantly."

"It's just that the person who poisoned Su Zhaoyi was probably too hasty. There isn't much toxin accumulated in Su Zhaoyi's body. The reason for her violent reaction is probably because she was injured before, so the poison took advantage of the opportunity to enter." After Doctor Zhao finished speaking, he raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. If you ask how Su Zhaoyi had been injured before, I'm afraid the emperor in front of him knows it very well.

"This poison is extremely rare, and its ingredients are all rare treasures. Even in the Western Regions, only powerful families can afford it. I have only seen it once in my life, when I was young and followed my master around the country." Doctor Zhao stood there terrified and said tremblingly.

"Asshole!" Xiao Heng was furious and slammed his palm on the table without any courtesy. "Go prepare the medicine, go check! I want Concubine Su's body to be intact! If you can't do it, bring your head to me!"

"Yes!" Doctor Zhao knelt down hastily to accept the order, "I will do my best!"

Doctor Zhao received the order and hastily retreated. Xiao Heng frowned and drove out the palace maids and eunuchs in the room. Only Li Peidong stayed with him.

"Tell me, who dares to bring this kind of thing into my palace!" Xiao Heng pushed the books on the table in annoyance, "They simply don't take me, the emperor, seriously!"

"If you can poison my concubine today, you can take my life tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Li Peidong calmly said, "Since the source of the toxin has been found, we just need to find out who came into contact with the incense."

"Yes, report to the Dali Temple! I want this case to be solved immediately!"

"My lady..."

"Peony!" Concubine Li was anxiously circling around the room. When she saw the person coming, she quickly grabbed her shoulders and asked, "How is it? Is there any news about Jasmine?"

“……” Peony shook her head in silence.

"How could this happen!" Concubine Li wailed and sat down on the ground exhausted.

"My queen, my queen!" Mudan knelt down hurriedly to help her up. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"It's been so long since the Imperial Hospital found anything!"

"But, but, but Jasmine must have fallen into Su Minglang's hands. If, if she tells others about this, wouldn't that be..."

Concubine Li frantically grabbed Mudan and said, "Tell me, tell me! What should we do now? What should we do now?"

"Your Highness, please calm down!" Mudan hurriedly held down Concubine Li's chaotic hands, fearing that she might accidentally hurt herself. "Even if it is discovered, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Moli doesn't have any evidence. Even if it was Nanxing, they are now working for Su Minglang. Even if they were really discovered, at most it would be that the servant poisoned them because she hated her master. It has nothing to do with you."

"But, but, but!" Concubine Li was a little dazed, "No, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!

“Your Majesty!” Mudan hurriedly hugged her and said, “We must think positively, Your Majesty. We can’t contact Jasmine, it must be because Linglong Palace has been sealed off.”

"Think about it, you haven't had any contact with them. Don't worry, madam. Don't worry."

Mudan gritted her teeth secretly as she looked at the panicked look of the person in front of her, "Don't worry, madam. No matter what happens, I am here for you."

Concubine Li gradually calmed down under her comfort, "It's going to be okay, right, right Peony?"

"Yes, you will be fine."

"It'll be fine, it'll be fine..." Ever since Jasmine was imprisoned in Linglong Palace and contact with Nanxing was cut off, Concubine Li had not had a good night's sleep in the past few days. Now she was tired of crying in Mudan's warm arms and gradually fell asleep in a daze.

Mudan gently placed her on the couch and tucked her in before leaving.

"I'm here, madam. You will be fine."

Mudan reached out and took off a piece of white jade from her neck. She glanced at the sleeping woman with complicated eyes and walked out without looking back.

"Green Rose!" Mudan pointed at a maid and handed her a letter and a token. The token was something that she, a first-class maid, could only use when she went out of the palace to buy things for Concubine Li. It allowed her to enter and leave the palace without being stopped. "Give this thing to the Jiang Mansion, and remember to give it to Lord Jiang!"

"Tell him to make plans early!"

"Yes, Aunt Mudan!" The little palace maid called Green Rose responded quickly. It was the first time she got such an important task and she felt infinite expectations in her heart.

After explaining everything, Mudan looked at the scenery in the yard with a nostalgic look, "If it really comes to that, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in the future."

"Peony, Peony?" A voice came from inside the house, and the person calling became more and more impatient.

Mudan collected her thoughts, put on that familiar smile again, and hurried back, "My lady, I'm here, do you have any instructions?"

"I had a nightmare, Mudan." Concubine Li held her hand tightly and said, "After this storm is over, I want to ask my father to ask the emperor if I can go back to live for a few days. Even though I have been in the palace for so many years, I still can't get used to the environment here. It's boring and depressing."

"By the way, you haven't seen your sister for a long time, right?" Concubine Li asked happily, "Next time when mother comes to visit me, I'll ask her to bring your sister with her. You two sisters must have missed each other a lot after not seeing each other for a long time."

"Mudan, you said that when you get old enough to leave the palace and get married, what will I do if I am left alone in this palace?"

"No, madam," Mudan soothed, patting Concubine Li's hand that was tightly holding hers, "I will always be by your side."
