After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Xiao Minshen also followed him out of the palace and got on the carriage.

After a while, Doctor Li got on the carriage.

"Your humble servant greets the King of Qi." Doctor Li prepared to salute.

Xiao Minshen grabbed Doctor Li and said, "No need to be polite."

"Doctor Li, is there something hidden about father's illness?"

Xiao Minshen guessed that Doctor Li must have come regarding the emperor's illness.

Doctor Li nodded, "The pills that the emperor took contained a lot of drugs that stimulate human abilities."

"This drug, when used temporarily, can make a person feel refreshed and as if he or she is decades younger."

"However, long-term use is actually harmful to people."

"Was the elixir given by the Taoist priest?" Xiao Minshen guessed sensitively.

"Correct."

The Taoist priest was invited by the Fourth Prince, so the person who wanted to harm the Emperor was it the Fourth Prince or the Crown Prince?

"Moreover, I, as an old minister, felt the emperor's pulse and felt that there seemed to be a chronic poison in it."

Xiao Minshen suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Doctor Li, who nodded slightly to him.

"Is it possible to cure this poison?"

Doctor Li frowned, "Not yet. The person who poisoned me must have been very careful every day and the dosage was very small."

"Everyday?" Xiao Minshen also frowned.

"Yes." Doctor Li nodded confidently.

Xiao Minshen bowed to Doctor Li and said, "I'll leave the emperor to Doctor Li. The rest of the matters will be left to me."

Doctor Li also bowed, got on the Li Mansion's carriage and left.

The carriage of Prince Qi's palace also started to move forward, and Fulu came in from outside the carriage.

"My Lord, what should we do next?"

Xiao Minshen leaned against the wall of the carriage, concentrating slightly.

Poisoning every day? Who could be responsible?

Among the people who served the emperor in his daily life, the one who served the most was Eunuch An.

However, Eunuch An has followed the emperor since he was a child and should not betray him.

Unless the poison is in the bedroom, no one will notice it.

"Stop the car! Turn around and go back to the palace." Xiao Minshen suddenly ordered.

When Xiao Minshen walked into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, the Queen was not there and Eunuch An was standing in front of the bed and taking a nap.

As soon as Xiao Minshen walked in, Eunuch An opened his eyes instantly and looked at him with a cold look.

Xiao Minshen walked in calmly and began to patrol the room.

"Prince Qi, is there anything else? The imperial physician said that the emperor needs to rest. Please go back."

Eunuch An came over and stood in front of Xiao Minshen.

Xiao Minshen stared at him steadily, and after a few minutes, he suddenly spoke.

"Who are the people who take care of father every day?"

Eunuch An did not expect Xiao Minshen to ask this, "Prince Qi, what do you mean by this?"

"I'm telling you, who else besides you can take care of my father personally?"

Xiao Minshen had a stern face. Without waiting for Eunuch An's answer, he walked around him and began to check the room.

"The emperor has always been served by this old slave, no one else."

Eunuch An bent his waist and followed behind Xiao Minshen.

Xiao Minshen checked all places and found nothing abnormal.

He frowned, there must be something he overlooked.

"Does Eunuch An know where the medicinal pills that my father took are?"

Eunuch An took out a small box from the bedside drawer, which contained several pills the size of a fingernail.

Xiao Minshen took it out, put it under his nose and smelled it, and instantly felt refreshed.

He hurriedly took the medicine pill farther away to observe it.

The medicine pill is reddish-brown in color, just like ordinary pills.

"Eunuch An, can I take one and check it?"

Eunuch An looked embarrassed.

"Doctor Li said that the emperor was poisoned. If Eunuch An does not cooperate with me, then you will be the first person most likely to be suspected."

Xiao Minshen stared at Eunuch An coldly.

"Forget it, you can take it. It's much bigger. If the emperor asks about it, I will say that I lost it."

Eunuch An closed the box and put it back into the drawer.

Xiao Minshen took out a handkerchief, wrapped the pills, and carefully put them into his pocket.

"Prince Qi, you just said that the emperor was poisoned?" Eunuch An asked, bending over.

"You heard it wrong!" Xiao Minshen looked at Eunuch An with a warning look and walked out.

After returning to Prince Qi's Mansion, Xiao Minshen asked someone to invite Linglong over.

When Linglong heard that the King of Qi had invited her, she thought that Shen Yunjin was ill, so she ran all the way over.

She ran in front of Xiao Minshen, sweating profusely.

"But the queen is about to give birth? This shouldn't happen. Isn't there still a month left?"

"No, I have something else to ask of you."

When Linglong heard this, she instantly felt relieved.

Xiao Minshen took out a handkerchief from his purse, opened it, and revealed a reddish-brown medicine pill on it.

Linglong first observed it carefully, then reached out and took the pill.

She took it and put it under her nose, sniffed it, and frowned.

"But what's wrong?" Xiao Minshen asked hurriedly.

"Where did you get such a strong pill?"

Linglong frowned and looked Xiao Minshen up and down.

Xiao Minshen put his fist to his mouth and coughed.

"It was presented to the emperor by a Taoist priest."

Linglong frowned even more tightly, she gently pinched a tiny bit and put it on the tip of her tongue to taste it.

"Is the emperor not feeling well now?"

"Father suddenly fell into a coma. The imperial physician said that he had taken drugs to enhance his functions and overdrawn his body."

"Maybe he was shocked and suddenly fell into a coma."

"The imperial physician found that Father might have been poisoned, but they couldn't find out what the poison was."

Linglong carefully tasted the pill in her mouth and then rinsed her mouth with water.

"This pill is full of tonic ingredients. Eating a small amount can strengthen your body and increase your Yang energy."

"But long-term consumption, coupled with sexual intercourse, will cause the person taking the drug to lose a lot of vital energy, and eventually, the person will die."

Xiao Minshen stared at the girl in front of him strangely.

Are all medical practitioners like this, speaking without any taboos?

Linglong didn't notice Xiao Minshen's expression. She tilted her head and continued analyzing.

"This pill contains a drug called cinnabar. Excessive intake can cause poisoning."

"The emperor's condition you just described should be more than just this. There may be some toxin that caused the person to fall into a coma."

Xiao Minshen tapped the table unconsciously with his hands.

"Yes, Doctor Li said that someone must be poisoning Father every day, but the dosage is not large, so no one can notice it."

"But, today I went to the Yangxin Palace and didn't see anything unusual."

When Shen Yunjin heard that Xiao Minshen had called Linglong over, he hurriedly asked someone to prepare Linglong's favorite dishes.

When dinner was ready, she went to the study herself, holding her heavy belly.

"Your Majesty, Linglong, let's have dinner first before we continue our conversation."

As soon as Shen Yunjin walked in, he smelled a strange fragrance.

She subconsciously walked towards the fragrance.

"What is this, it smells so good?"

Linglong and Xiao Minshen looked at each other. It smelled so good, how come they didn’t notice it?
