Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Tan Yangshuo had a bewildered look on his face, as if he was in a misty maze, completely unaware of what was going on around him.

He knew very well that his Taoist practice would only make progress with the protection of the imperial power. Even if he had ill intentions, he would never choose to act at this moment. After all, the time was not yet ripe.

Speaking of those so-called elixirs, although they contain slight poisons, they only slowly erode the foundation of health and are far from being highly toxic substances that can kill people in one blow.

Tan Yangshuo brought several sturdy guards to Eunuch Chen. "Eunuch, the person has been escorted here. Please make your decision."

Eunuch Chen looked down at the kneeling Tan Yangshuo and said, "Master Tan, His Majesty was poisoned after taking your elixir and has not yet regained consciousness."

Tan Yangshuo's face was pale, his voice trembled, and he was eager to explain: "Eunuch Chen, please understand, I have practiced for many years, and I have always been kind and helpful to the world. How could I do such a treasonous thing? Moreover, I have been serving in the palace for a long time. Your Majesty is very fond of the elixir, and it has never been harmful to take it. It was not until Jiang Nian entered the palace that the situation suddenly changed and Your Majesty encountered such difficulties. In my opinion, this person is full of doubts and must be the mastermind behind the scenes, intending to do something wrong!"

After he finished speaking, a cunning look flashed in Tan Yangshuo's eyes, trying to divert the blame. However, although his words were urgent, he could not hide his inner panic. The atmosphere in the whole hall was tense, as if a storm was about to come.

"Master Jiang's elixir was tasted by a eunuch who was testing medicine. He currently has no problems. Could it be that His Majesty will have problems if he takes it? On the contrary, the elixir you gave His Majesty is full of doubts!"

Then Eunuch Chen looked at the people around him thoughtfully and said, "Don't spread the news that His Majesty has been poisoned."

He was very clear in his mind, knowing that once this matter was leaked to the world, the court would be in turmoil and the world would be turned upside down. Therefore, he had to keep this storm deep in his heart for the time being.

He could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from Queen Wen Xiuwan. With such a big scene, something must have happened in the palace.

Wen Xiuwan came to the Yangxin Palace as soon as possible, wanting to know Baili Jingyao's condition.

"Eunuch Chen, as the mother of the Great Sheng Nation, I stand by your majesty through thick and thin. If your majesty is really ill, why would you hide it from me? How can such a major event be constrained by the rules of the harem?"

Eunuch Chen knelt on the ground and answered cautiously, "My Queen, I dare not. His Majesty just caught a cold and is not feeling well. He asked me not to let anyone come in and disturb his rest."

Wen Xiuwan sneered and looked at the closed palace door thoughtfully.

So many people from the Imperial Medical Bureau were mobilized just to treat the cold?

In fact, she really hoped that Baili Jingyao would be poisoned to death. After all, Baili He was the crown prince. As long as Baili Jingyao died, she could naturally become the queen mother. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Eunuch Chen insisted not to let her in, but she was almost certain. "Eunuch Chen, a man who knows the times is a hero. You can rely on His Majesty now, but you can't be sure about the future."

Eunuch Chen's forehead was covered with cold sweat. How could he not know all this?

But having served two emperors, he naturally had his own unique way of balancing things, so it was not easy to harm him.

After Wen Xiuwan left, Baili Jingyao actually woke up. He didn't believe anyone and just said "Yan" softly.

Eunuch Chen immediately understood that he wanted to see Concubine Yan.

"Someone bring Concubine Yan here!"

Baili Jingyao said breathlessly: "And... and bring Taoist Master Jiang here!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Chen had originally planned to bring Taoist Jiang along as well, since the matter of His Majesty's poisoning still needed to be investigated.

As soon as Jiang Nianwei entered the Yangxin Palace, Tan Yangshuo began to defend himself: "It was him. He was the one who wanted to poison Your Majesty."

Tan Yangshuo's immortal demeanor was gone, and he fell to his knees in a miserable state.

Eunuch Chen was unmoved. "The imperial physician is helpless now. You are all Taoist priests who can bring back the dead. His Majesty has been poisoned now. Who among you can cure him? I will spare whoever you can."

Jiang Nianwei immediately realized that there must be something fishy going on.

But Tan Yangshuo was obviously more afraid of death. He had seen the tragic deaths of people around Baili Jingyao. He shook his head and immediately shouted, "I have a way!"

When he was taking Baili Jingyao's pulse, his hands were shaking, and then he pretended to take out a pill.

"Your Majesty will get better as long as you eat this."

"His Majesty might have taken the elixir you made, and you actually dared to give him the elixir!"

Tan Yangshuo was still arguing: "This is a tonic, it is absolutely not toxic, please ask Eunuch Chen to give it to Your Majesty!"

In fact, he was just trying to treat a dead horse as a living one. He was not an orthodox Taoist priest, let alone curing diseases and saving lives. He knew nothing about it. Even the alchemy was only half-baked.

Eunuch Chen handed the pill to the imperial physician, who sniffed it and shook his head, "I think something wrong has been added to this pill, so it should not be given to Your Majesty."

Eunuch Chen's eyes shifted to Jiang Nianwei again. Jiang Nianwei didn't waste any words and directly took Baili Jingyao's pulse.

She had given him a slow-acting poison, but it shouldn't take effect at this moment.

She originally thought that perhaps Baili Jingyao had been taking elixirs for a long time, which led to lead poisoning.

But when he felt his pulse this moment, it was not the case. His pulse was steady and did not look like he was poisoned at all.

"Eunuch Chen, please allow me to do some other checks."

Eunuch Chen did not stop her, so Jiang Nianwei continued to check the condition of Baili Jingyao's face. Now she had a general understanding of Baili Jingyao's intention.

She whispered a few words in Eunuch Chen's ear, and Eunuch Chen's originally gloomy face suddenly brightened.

"As expected of Master Jiang, Master Jiang is really smart."

Eunuch Chen turned to look at Tan Yangshuo again: "Tan Yangshuo, to this day, you are still stubborn and deny the crime of poisoning His Majesty? Such behavior is so evil that it is intolerable to heaven! Quickly confess the mastermind behind you, and perhaps you can be spared from heaven's punishment!"

Tan Yangshuo's body trembled slightly, and a flash of despair and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said in a trembling but firm voice: "My Lord, I acted in an upright manner and have no conspiracy to hide. There is no mastermind. This is pure nonsense. I hope you will not believe in slander and hurt innocent people!"

Before he came, His Majesty had always trusted him, and it was all because of him!

Eunuch Chen's face changed: "But he can cure your majesty's illness, but you can't. Take him away and torture him severely."

Tan Yangshuo was dragged away by the guards. Jiang Nianwei took a deep breath. If she had not discovered Baili Jingyao's thoughts today, would she have felt the same as Tan Yangshuo?

Sure enough, the old emperor was not as simple as imagined.

In fact, he was not poisoned nor sick, but pretending.

At this moment, Concubine Hui was unable to sleep or eat, and was pacing back and forth in the palace. She knew that something had happened in the palace, but she didn't know what exactly had happened?

Just when she was getting extremely worried, a spy from the palace came and informed her of everything that had happened.

She tried her best to stay calm. Tan Yangshuo was locked up? How could this man be so careless?

In the beginning, it was she who recommended Tan Yangshuo to enter the palace. If anything happened to him, she would be implicated.

The only way was to stop him from speaking... Concubine Hui immediately arranged for someone to silence Tan Yangshuo, preventing him from revealing the connection and secret between the two.

What's more, immortality is all fake. She knows very well that all this is a conspiracy between her and Tan Yangshuo, just to control the government.

No, she had to go to the Yangxin Palace to meet His Majesty and explain the matter clearly. No matter whether he woke up or not, she had to do her best to keep up appearances.

Concubine Hui put on a very miserable makeup, rubbed her eyes, making herself look even more pitiful, and then prepared to leave for the Yangxin Palace.

She knelt outside the Yangxin Palace and cried miserably, but Eunuch Chen did not stop her. Instead, he waved his hand and asked her to go in.

When Eunuch Chen heard that the Queen was coming to ask for an audience, he did not let her in. It seems that she still holds a very important position in His Majesty's heart.

As soon as Concubine Hui entered the room, she began to cry bitterly, "Your Majesty, what happened to Your Majesty?"

When she looked up, she saw Concubine Yan leaving with red eyes and preparing to leave.

Concubine Yan was able to get here first, which made her feel very depressed and uncomfortable, but now was not the time to worry about it. She had to understand the situation first.

I saw Baili Jingyao lying on the bed with a pale face, looking like he was dying.

Eunuch Chen immediately said, "My Lady Concubine, His Majesty is seriously ill. Only those closest to him know about this. He needs the Lady Concubine's personal care."

"I will take good care of Your Majesty!" She picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears.

It seems that she is not in danger for the time being and no one suspects her of anything.

On the surface, she served Baili Jingyao wholeheartedly, but in her heart she kept complaining: "Damn old man, I don't know when he will die completely. If he really dies, I won't have to worry so much."

Jiang Nianwei left the Yangxin Palace and found Concubine Yan. "You did a good job. They didn't suspect anything."

Baili Jingyao did it on purpose. As an emperor, how could he possibly believe in sincerity?

He is just looking for a woman like you who poses no threat to him and will not cause trouble around him.

Concubine Yan has been here for three days and has worked hard. During this period, Eunuch Chen deliberately sent away the other people and left her alone to serve His Majesty.

Concubine Yan was still the same as usual, and even took better care of Baili Jingyao.

"Deep in Love" even lay on the bed and cried: "Your Majesty, you can't leave me, you are everything to me."

Eunuch Chen also deliberately let her see Baili Jingyao's last will, which stated that he wanted her to be buried with him.

Yanpin remembered Jiang Nianwei's request, so when no one was around, she deliberately said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go with you, and I only ask to be buried with you."

Afterwards, he took better care of Baili Jingyao without any complaints.

In this way, she has passed the test.

The test for Concubine Hui has just begun. She is going through the same experience as Concubine Yan and handles it with ease.

Until she accidentally saw the will, which clearly stated that she should be buried with him.

She was so angry that her teeth itched in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh, "Bai Li Jingyao, I have served you wholeheartedly over the years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Since you have done away with me, you are going to drag me down with you when you die. So what if I am the emperor? He is just a selfish thing!"

Her family had sacrificed so much in this life, and now she was going to sacrifice her own life.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui hated the man in front of her even more.

She hoped he was dead so that he wouldn't find out about the evil things she had done, but she also didn't want him to die because she didn't want to lose her life in vain.

Concubine Hui could still pretend in front of outsiders, but when there was no one around, she could no longer pretend.

"Your Majesty, you have such a cruel heart. Am I not flattering you enough? I obey you in everything. I found Taoist Tan for you to help you achieve immortality. I also found so many women for you outside the palace. You actually treat me like this. It really chills my heart."

After observing him for the past few days, she felt that Baili Jingyao was definitely beyond saving and was only hanging on to his life.

"Your Majesty, since you are already like this, why should I waste my efforts?"

Why should she take such great pains to take care of a half-dead cripple? Adding to the resentment in her heart, Concubine Hui became even more careless.

Once, she even "accidentally" spilled the scalding medicine on the back of his hand. "Oh, look, Your Majesty, it was my fault. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I forgot that you can't wake up now."

A pair of cold hands suddenly grasped her wrists, "But now, I am awake."

Concubine Hui was horrified and fell to her knees. "Your Majesty, you finally woke up. I have been taking care of you day and night, and I am exhausted. I just hope that Your Majesty will recover soon."

But he had seen everything that Concubine Hui did.

"Wei Xinhui, I doted on you because you were obedient and sensible."

Or it was because the Wei family was not that powerful at the beginning, and he needed to support a weak concubine to compete with the queen in the palace.

As the Wei family's power gradually expanded, he began to feel a sense of fear.

This uneasiness, after Taoist Master Jiang's meaningful advice, was like fuel to the flames, completely igniting all the doubts in his heart about Concubine Hui, which led him to set up such a situation.

Taoist Jiang discovered from the beginning that he was not poisoned at all, but Tan Yangshuo was trying to get away with it.

It is easy to tell who has real skills and who is a fake.

After all, Concubine Hui's careful planning was too hasty and revealed unnecessary flaws. And Baili Jingyao, the emperor with a cunning mind, was not someone who could be easily deceived.

As soon as Eunuch Chen came in, he saw Baili Jingyao sitting on the bed and knelt on the ground with joy: "Your Majesty is in good health, which is a great blessing for our dynasty! Taoist Jiang's skills are truly extraordinary. Not only is his Taoism profound, but his medical skills are also amazing!"
