After saying this, she injected the sedative into his shoulder. After watching him pass out, she untied the ropes on him and began to mix the medicine skillfully.

In clinical medicine, it won’t take too long or be too difficult to help someone who has been addicted to drugs for a short time to quit.

Because this ancient method of making drugs was crude, it only extracted the juice of a certain plant without further processing, so its toxicity was much worse than modern drugs.

Leng Yu was not at home these days. When she couldn't sleep at night, she would always go to the laboratory without feeling sleepy, just like in her previous life.

After repeatedly studying the ingredients in the small pills the emperor had taken, she finally determined that only a more toxic poison, mesadone, could be used to inhibit and eliminate the poison from causing harm in the human body. This treatment method can also be called fighting poison with poison.

However, since the emperor is now unable to eat on his own, he can only be helped to quit drugs through intravenous drips.

After finalizing the plan, Luo Lan quickly prepared the medicine, quickly inserted a needle into the emperor's arm, and then gave him an IV drip.

After doing all this, she quietly watched the medicine dripping from the drip bottle, feeling worried. If these two poisons meet in the human body and are used improperly, they will cause hallucinations within three to eight hours, and may even cause people to develop more serious world-weariness and self-harm.

If that happens, the emperor will become addicted to another drug. Of course, this is the worst outcome. The probability of such an outcome is not high, but he must not be left alone. This is why Luo Lan does not allow others to enter the Yangxin Palace.

…

Prince Yu's Mansion

In the evening, Leng Yu had just returned from Liu Dechang and couldn't wait to go home to see his family. He hadn't been home for three days.

However, as soon as he entered the house, Agang told him that the princess had gone out in the morning and had not returned since.

This sentence made Leng Yu very worried. In the past, Luo Lan would come back in the afternoon, but he still hadn't come back so late today. Could something have happened?

Thinking of this, he was about to turn around and go to Bai'antang when Acai and Ahong rushed back.

"Your Majesty..."

When Leng Yu saw the two of them, his heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't wait to greet him and asked anxiously:

"Why are you two the only ones back? Where's the princess?"

Just as Ah Cai was about to speak, Ah Hong pulled her aside and whispered to Leng Yu:

"Your Highness, there are too many people here. Let's go back to the palace and talk."

Seeing that Ahong and Acai were neither anxious nor impatient, Leng Yu knew that nothing had happened to Luo Lan, and he felt a little more at ease.

Arriving at the main hall of the palace, Leng Yu asked:

"Did the princess enter the palace early?"

Ah Cai and Ah Hong were surprised that he would have such a question. Ah Cai gave a thumbs up.

"Your Highness is indeed clever. The princess has indeed entered the palace early. She has asked the servants to come back and tell you that it will take at least seven days for her to return."

"Seven days?"

"Yes, but the princess said that you should focus on handling state affairs during this period. She will visit you in the imperial study as soon as she has time. However, she also said that you should not expect too much, as such time may not be long, because she does not want others to get close to the emperor during this period."

Leng Yu knew better than anyone that Luo Lan didn't allow anyone to get close to her when she was treating patients. As long as he knew where she was and that she was safe, he would feel relieved.

Thinking of this, he waved to the two of them.

"I understand. You guys go down and rest."

"besides……"

Seeing Leng Yu was about to chase them away, Ah Hong couldn't wait to step forward and said:

"The princess heard about the refugees. She asked me to tell you that the emperor is ill. If the people affected by the disaster are not properly resettled, it will surely cause chaos. If the enemy knows about it, they will take advantage of the chaos to attack. She asked you to make plans early. She also said that Ali knows the amount of silver available at Bai'antang and Prince Yu's Mansion. If you need it, just take it without telling her."

"I see."

Leng Yu lowered his eyes and felt touched.

His wife always supports him wholeheartedly at all times, so why shouldn't he do what he should do?

Thinking of this, he walked towards the study alone. He needed to think carefully about how to resettle these disaster victims.

Three days later

The emperor has been in a coma these days. Luo Lan gave him a nutrient solution, fearing that he would starve to death during the detoxification period.

Yes, I was really afraid that he would starve to death. This was what Luo Lan always said when she changed his dressings.

Seeing that his emotions had stabilized, Luo Lan decided to go to the imperial study to see Leng Yu. He didn't know how the victims were doing these days.

She walked towards the door only when she was sure that there was no problem with the emperor's medicine.

In the past few days, Liu Xi had been guarding the door with his men, eating and sleeping there, so the moment the door opened, he jumped up and couldn't wait to greet them.

"Princess, how is the emperor?"

After Luo Lan left the room, he turned around to close the door, then bolted it and turned to Liu Xi and said,

"The Emperor is in a relatively stable condition, but he's taking medication. You stay here while I go to the Imperial Study to discuss something with Prince Yu."

Hearing Luo Lan say that the emperor was in a balanced state, Liu Xi immediately nodded and said:

"I understand. I will guard the door tightly and no one will be allowed in."

Luo Lan knew the reason why Liu Xi said this. In the past three days, Leng Xi had come five times, Concubine Li had come twice, and even Concubine Li had come three times. There were countless other concubines and ministers who came, but they were all sent back by Liu Xi. From this point of view, Liu Xi's power in the palace was still quite great.

Fortunately, these people didn't know that Luo Lan was treating the emperor in the imperial study, otherwise, they would never let it go.

After three days of being cooped up in the Yangxin Palace, Luo Lan finally came to her senses. She wasn't doing anything shameful, so why should she be afraid of others finding out? Besides, she was confident she could cure the Emperor; it was only a matter of time. Besides, she wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't visit her husband in the Imperial Study.

At this time, Leng Yu was discussing matters concerning the disaster victims with Liu Dechang, Yu Shiming, Leng Xi, and several court officials in the imperial study.

Leng Yu sat in the main seat, looking at everyone with a serious expression.

"General Ling reported that the disaster victims will arrive near the capital tomorrow. What are your thoughts on this? How should we respond?"

Leng Xi was the first to speak in a cold voice.

"I think General Liu should send troops to keep these disaster victims out of the capital. If they flood into the capital, it will inevitably cause chaos, and the people in the capital will suffer terribly."

Liu Dechang stared at him with disapproval.

"Everything inside and outside the city belongs to the Daning Kingdom. The people inside and outside the city are all Daning Kingdom's citizens. If you're worried about the people inside the city being disturbed, aren't you also worried about the people outside the city being displaced and starving to death on the streets? Besides, can you guarantee that locking these disaster victims outside the city won't cause unrest?"
