Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Moreover, she has to rely on him to develop a special medicine!

She preserved the body in ice and performed toxicology tests on his bite wounds.

After a day and a night of analysis, she finally concluded that this was an extremely deadly rat poison. If this poison spread in the capital, it would be a hell on earth.

She didn't dare to delay and immediately walked out of the room quickly.

At this time, Zhan Yan and Li Wang were waiting outside. When they saw her, they quickly stepped forward to ask about the situation.

Lin Yiwan raised her hands to stop him: "Don't come over! From now on, Han Bo's yard will be cordoned off like an iron barrel. No one is allowed to step in!"

Zhan Yan said worriedly, "Wanwan, what kind of poison did Han Bo get?"

Lin Yiwan said, "Ah Yan, have you heard of rat poison?"

Zhan Yan's pupils contracted violently. After a moment's silence, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "Is it the rat poison that can destroy a city?"

Lin Yiwan nodded heavily. "That's right. Uncle Han died of rat poison. This disease is highly contagious, so you have to keep an eye on the children. They must stay in their own yard and not run out!"

Zhan Yan immediately asked: "What about you? How are you?"

Lin Yiwan replied, "I'm fine now. I have to quickly develop a special medicine. I can't take care of things outside for the time being. Also, seal off our palace first. Don't see any guests and don't leave the palace. Remember!"

King Li knew the seriousness of the matter and made arrangements immediately.

The incident happened suddenly, and he couldn't send any news to the palace, so he could only pray that Emperor Sheng An would not summon him and Zhan Yan for any reason.

Lin Yiwan had just finished giving the instructions when the guards who had been looking for the female beggar came back. They said they hadn't found any trace of her at all.

Lin Yiwan couldn't care less about so many things now. All that mattered was developing the antidote. Otherwise, the lives of the entire Li Wang Mansion would be in danger.

She locked herself up with Han Bo's body and began to make medicinal soup day and night.

Emperor Sheng An didn't notice anything at first, but he felt very strange when he didn't see Zhan Yan in the court for three consecutive days.

Before he could even ask Li Delu, a court official complained, "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhan Yi is too arrogant. It was fine that he couldn't attend court when he was stationed at the border, but now that he's back in the capital, he's hiding in his mansion and avoiding us. That's too much!"

Someone else echoed, "That's right. Even if the emperor favors him, he should have some self-control. We are both officials in the court, but he gets paid so easily!"

Emperor Sheng An raised his hand and slammed it on the table: "You all think that I am partial to Zhan Yan, so why don't you give up your family and career to guard the border and try it?"

After the words were spoken, no one dared to say a word.

Emperor Sheng An swept his sharp gaze over the crowd and said in a deep voice, "When Zhan Yan left the capital, his children were just born. Now that he has returned, his children don't recognize him as their father at all. I want to ask you, who can do what he did, putting their own family aside for the sake of the whole community?"

Everyone's heads hung lower and lower, not even daring to breathe.

Until Meng Xiang spoke up: "How about this, Your Majesty? I have a suggestion. Don't you all think Your Majesty is partial to you? Then let Your Majesty be partial to you for once. From now on, all officials in the court, from high to low, will take turns to go to the border to guard for a month!"

Everyone's expression suddenly changed, and they all refused: "Prime Minister Meng, how can this be possible? Guarding the border is the duty of military generals, and we are all civil officials."

Meng Xiang said, "Civil officials also have the responsibility to protect the country. Besides, we are not asking you to stay there forever. It's only a month. You can return soon and take a leave of absence. How great is that?"

Everyone quickly shook their heads. "No, who's going to do our part? Besides, we have a lot of kids and family to take care of at home. We can't be away for that long!"

Meng Xiang's originally amiable expression suddenly turned stern. He said in a deep voice, "Since you all think it's not good, then keep your mouths shut. If anyone dares to criticize Zhan Yan again, I'll swap positions with him. Let him stay in Beijing, and you will go to guard the border!"

Everyone was speechless after being scolded. Finally, someone forced himself to argue: "We are worried about him too. After all, he has been confined to the palace for three days. We don't know what happened in the palace!"

Meng Xiang and Emperor Sheng An looked at each other for a moment before saying, "Don't worry about it. I will go find Zhan Yan after I leave the court!"

After hearing what he said, everyone gave up.

After the morning court session ended, Emperor Sheng'an called Meng Xiang to the imperial study.

He paced back and forth for a few steps and said, "Zhan Yan went hunting with me a few days ago. Why did he suddenly shut himself in and disappear? Could something have happened at the Prince's Mansion?"

Meng Xiang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you are just as suspicious as they are. If something really happened, could Prince Li have kept it from you?"

Emperor Sheng An said, "But staying indoors for three days away from the palace is strange in itself. How serious must the matter be to warrant such a long period of time?"

Concern flashed in Meng Xiang's eyes, and he quickly said, "I will go to Prince Li's mansion immediately to find out what's going on!"

Emperor Sheng An was worried, so he ordered Li Delu: "You go with Prime Minister Meng and report to me immediately no matter what happens in the palace!"

Meng Xiang brought Li Delu to the outside of Prince Li's mansion and saw that the door was closed. Even the guards guarding it were nowhere to be seen.

Li Delu shouted a few times in a shrill voice, but failed to call the person out.

He could only say with a dejected look, "Prince Meng, Prince Li has even removed the guards at the gate. This is really not right."

Meng Xiang tucked his hands into his wide robe sleeves and whispered, "Li Delu, can you climb a wall?"

Li Delu's eyes widened in shock. "Prime Minister Meng, you wouldn't let me climb over the palace wall, would you? I wouldn't dare to do that even if I had the guts to do it!"

Meng Xiang interrupted impatiently, "The rumors outside are becoming unstoppable. Since the Emperor has sent us here, we must bring him back an answer. You must climb the wall of the palace today, whether you want to or not!"

Li Delu said with a bitter face: "But my body is so weak that I can't climb up!"

Meng Xiang could only frown and said with disgust, "It's no use relying on you. Hurry up and lie down to be my cushion. I will climb up myself!"

Li Delu immediately took a horse stance and supported himself against the wall with his arms.

Meng Xiang first spat into his palms, then rubbed his palms together vigorously.

Li Delu looked at him doubtfully: "Meng Xiang, can you crawl?"

Meng Xiang shook his head as a matter of course: "No, but I have seen others climb like this. Don't say anything, I will start running now!"

Li Delu suddenly felt a huge panic in his heart. He felt that if he didn't stop Meng Xiang, he would be injured here.
