Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 144 Detoxification

After leaving the palace, Jiang Yueyang went to the Song family to see her grandfather first. Seeing that he could eat and sleep well and had no psychological trauma, she went home with peace of mind to prepare the antidote for the second prince.

The flower of the Seven Star Flower looks like a lotus, but its petals are light blue and translucent. It is so beautiful. Only one flower opened yesterday, and the remaining six have not yet opened.

Jiang Yueyang stared at the flower and asked: [Little melon, how can I use it to detoxify the Second Prince? ]

[Good ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. The same is true for good herbs. ]

Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes, [Why not just say eat it raw? ]

The system did not respond.

She just asked casually, not caring whether the system would reply or not, and then asked: [Do you want to eat the whole flower? ]

【want. 】

Jiang Yueyang nodded, then took a pair of scissors and cut the flowers with a click.

As the flower is cut off, a leaf also falls off.

Jiang Yueyang frowned slightly and said: [Little melon, what's going on? Why did the leaves fall off? ]

【The leaves will always be with you. 】

[Still a lovesick person. ]

The system said no no no several times in a row, [It is not a lovesick person, it is a bootlicker. ]

Jiang Yueyang: [……]

At that time, on the other side, Xie Xu secretly led his men to Yunshan County at full speed and quickly took control of the entire county government.

When the magistrate of Yunshan County saw that the government office was surrounded, he knew that it was Chang Ming who had informed on him, but he still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

"I wonder who the master is?"

Xie Xu drew his sword and said, "You only need to know that today is the day you die. You don't need to ask too much about other things."

The magistrate of Yunshan County retreated in fear upon hearing this. "I am an official appointed by His Majesty himself. Even if I am guilty, I still need to be tried by the three courts. You can't..."

Before he could finish his words, Xie Xu's sword slashed across his neck, and scarlet blood flowed out from his neck.

"I am Xie Xu, the prefect of Jingzhao."

As the most trusted person of Emperor Yuan, Xie Xu has always enjoyed the right to execute first and report later.

He could execute people first and report later even if they were royal relatives, let alone a small county magistrate.

The magistrate of Yunshan County fell backwards with his eyes wide open. He now deeply regretted not escaping earlier.

He had been planning to flee to Nanzhao some time ago, but his plan was delayed because he failed to reach an agreement with the people there.

Xie Xu raised his hand to signal, and his men immediately searched the entire county government office, and soon found out the hiding place of the gold from the retainers of the Yunshan County magistrate.

As for the case of Marquis Pingxi's corruption, Emperor Yuan had already sent people to arrest Marquis Pingxi's family and the Governor of Yanzhou.

I was just afraid that Jiang Yueyang would notice, so I thought of finding a reason to announce it to the public after some time.

***

Back to the Jiang family, Jiang Yueyang fiddled in her small kitchen for a while, then came out with a bamboo tube and a plate of snow meringue.

The bamboo tube contained Guangdong herbal tea, and Jiang Yueyang put all the petals of the "Seven Star Flower" in it.

The Snow Meringue was bought in a mall, so she just opened the package.

After everything was ready, Jiang Yueyang set out to detoxify the second prince.

When she arrived at the big house, the third prince and the second prince were sitting in the corridor playing chess.

The third prince looked like he was scratching his head, and it was obvious that he was killed by the second prince without a single piece of armor left.

From a distance, Jiang Yueyang heard the Third Prince say, "Wrong, wrong, I made a mistake. I was going to make it here."

The Second Prince shook his head and laughed, "Third brother, count it yourself, how many times have you regretted your moves in this game?"

"I don't care. You asked me to play chess with you."

The Third Prince couldn't help but mutter, "Why hasn't Jiang Yueyang come yet? Is she going to regret not coming?"

The second prince heard the subtle footsteps and was about to speak out to remind them.

Unexpectedly, the Third Prince sighed again and said, "Second brother, let me tell you, she rejected the Crown Prince, she actually rejected the Crown Prince!

She said she didn't want something that others dreamed of. She looked good, but her taste was too poor. What was so good about Lu Yunting that made her give up the crown prince! "

“Your Highness!”

The third prince shuddered all over.

"Your Highness, you will be punished for speaking ill of others behind their backs." Jiang Yueyang patted his shoulder with one hand, "Besides, I have a feeling that retribution is coming soon."

The third prince's lips trembled, "What...what do you want to do?"

Jiang Yueyang smiled and said, "Nothing, I just think the floor is a little dirty."

The Third Prince snorted, "If you want to order me to do something, you have to cure my second brother first."

"Your Highness, please wait."

Jiang Yueyang signaled Qingzhi to bring the things up, but when she met the Second Prince's gaze, she suddenly thought of something.

She asked hurriedly: [Little melon, if the poison is resolved, will the second prince's silver hair and heterochromatic eyes disappear? ]

[If nothing unexpected happens, yes. ]

[Ah...] Jiang Yueyang looked regretful, [I will never see such a handsome Second Prince again.]

The Third Prince was afraid that she would change her mind at the last minute, so he hurriedly urged her, "Jiang Yueyang, aren't you here to treat my second brother? Why are you still standing there?"

Jiang Yueyang glanced at him, then reached out and pushed the bamboo tube to the Second Prince, "Second Prince, I found that the symptoms on your body seemed to be poisoning. This is the antidote I prepared. If you trust me, drink it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second prince picked up the bamboo tube without hesitation, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

Then, he turned into a mask of pain.

Jiang Yueyang said awkwardly: "I forgot to remind Your Highness that this medicine is a bit bitter."

Second Prince: ...Is this a bit bitter?

"Your Highness, you can drink this with it. This is sweet."
