Chapter 356: Poor Digestion

The air fell into silence, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would anger the emperor again.

Every minute and every second was terribly long, and Song Shiwei could almost hear her heartbeat like a drum.

She accidentally discovered that the mixture of vanilla and cold brew could make people addicted, but vanilla was easy to get, but cold brew was hard to get. What's more, it takes a long time to become addicted. If the queen mother hadn't pressed too hard, Song Shiwei would not have wanted to use this method.

She didn't want to expose this matter, but now that the queen mother has fallen, she has no backing and must not be associated with Wushisan.

Compared with the trembling people, Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting seemed much more relaxed.

But their faces were also not good.

No one knows the horror of Wu Shi San better than He Yanting. The trembling that seems to emanate from the depths of your soul gradually spreads to your whole body.

Your spirit will become extremely excited, and...

He Yanting thought to himself, his eyes dark.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard from outside the palace.

The Jinyiwei held the calming incense in his hands, followed by three perfumers.

The emperor raised his hand to exempt them from the gift, and said directly: "The mixture of vanilla and cold brew can make people addicted. Do you know this formula?"

The three perfumers looked at each other and shook their heads.

Knowing that they couldn't possibly know, Song Shiwei's eyes were full of fear: "Your Majesty, this is something I discovered by chance..."

The emperor looked at her coldly, and Song Shiwei's voice stopped abruptly. A chill ran down her bones. She heard the emperor order: "Follow the formula she said, and you do it. I want to see the result with my own eyes."

The three perfumers answered yes in unison.

"As for you," the emperor looked at Song Shiwei's face full of fear: "Put you in the prison, and I will decide your destination after I find out everything."

Unexpectedly, after arguing for a long time, this was still the result. Song Shiwei widened her eyes and screamed miserably.

But the emperor had made up his mind and kept silent no matter what she said.

When he could no longer hear Song Shiwei's voice, the emperor reached out and rubbed his temples.

His voice was tired. He looked at the Queen Mother lying on the ground and ordered: "Hang her up. No one is allowed to put her down without my order."

"Light the prepared incense directly in front of her."

The meaning of this sentence was to use the Queen Mother directly for the experiment.

The rest of the people shuddered.

After giving the order, the emperor was unwilling to stay for a second. He turned around and left without even looking at her.

Jiang Zhiyu extracted some data from the Queen Mother before walking out with He Yanting.

The weather gradually warmed up. When there was no wind, the warm sunshine shone on the body, making people feel as if it was early summer.

Jiang Zhiyu squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

"The weather is nice today. So, how is the investigation going?"

"...Those ministers? Some of them are a bit tricky."

His tone was a little cold. Jiang Zhiyu felt something was wrong. She turned her head to look at him and saw that He Yanting had a solemn expression and clear teeth marks on his lips.

It was obvious that he had been bitten hard.

Jiang Zhiyu tried hard to recall and remembered something.

[Poor kid, I forgot that you are also a victim.]

On the battlefield, even if you are a martial arts master, it is inevitable to get injured.

Therefore, He Yanting had used Wu Shi San to treat his injuries more or less.

Fortunately, before that, He Yanting's injuries were not serious, and the dosage of Wu Shi San he took was not much.

But he was still affected to some extent.

It can be said that if the Five Stones Powder had not suddenly taken effect, He Yanting

would not have been able to bear such a serious injury. The serious injury, coupled with the power of the Five Stones Powder, if it were not for his amazing perseverance, He Yanting would probably not have been able to make it.

Thinking of the passage in the original book that described how He Yanting managed to make it, Jiang Zhiyu looked at him with sympathy.

"Are you busy with official business today?"

He Yanting's eyes flickered slightly: "No."

"That's fine," Jiang Zhiyu raised the corner of his mouth: "I'll take you somewhere."

...

On the other side, inside the Xu Mansion.

Xiao Siyuan stood at the door of the Xu Mansion with an unusually ugly expression.

"I just saw Sulan enter the mansion, but you told me that she went out?!"

The gatekeeper said calmly, "Maybe the Fifth Prince saw it wrong. The young lady left the mansion today and has not returned."

Xiao Siyuan looked at them coldly, "Okay, even if Sulan is not in the mansion, since I am here, you should at least inform her, right?"

The gatekeepers looked at each other and said coldly, "The masters all have important matters to attend to. If the Fifth Prince has nothing to do, please go back."

Xiao Siyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. They

were just two gatekeepers, and they dared to talk to him like this? !

As if afraid that he was not angry enough, the doorkeeper continued: "Fifth Prince, please respect yourself. After all, the young lady has not left the palace yet. You call her Sulan all the time. Such intimacy will only damage the young lady's reputation."

Xiao Siyuan's pupils shrank.

"You, you guys!"

His face turned red.

After he recovered from his injuries, he was turned away wherever he went.

But no matter what those people said, they would still consider his status as a prince. Even if they didn't want to see him, they would politely ask him to leave.

How dare these people in the Xu Mansion? !

"How dare you! Someone come..."

"What are you arguing about?"

Before Xiao Siyuan finished speaking, a cold voice interrupted him.

Xiao Siyuan looked up - it was Jiang Wenjing.

Xiao Siyuan secretly gnashed his teeth.

He now felt a little disgusted with Jiang Wenjing from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Wenjing had made great military achievements and was admired by everyone, but he himself was abandoned by everyone. Apart from the identity of a prince, he had nothing to show for it...

Seeing Jiang Wenjing coming over, the gatekeepers bowed and told him the conversation just now word for word.

After listening, Jiang Wenjing glanced at Xiao Siyuan lazily.

Xiao Siyuan was frightened for a moment by his look, and after reacting, he said angrily: "Is this how the Xu family disciplines their servants? They are so presumptuous, they should be dragged down and beaten to death!"

The gatekeepers did not change their expressions, and Jiang Wenjing yawned: "Your Highness, why are you so irritable? What they said is not unreasonable."

Xiao Siyuan frowned.

"After all, my sister hasn't gotten married yet. Your Highness always shows how intimate he is with my sister in front of everyone, but he has never given my sister a name. Isn't this ruining my sister's reputation?"

"Your Highness, you know how important reputation is to a woman, right?"

"Or do you mean that Your Highness knows it but does it on purpose?"

Jiang Wenjing narrowed his eyes slightly. The oppressive feeling on his body made Xiao Siyuan couldn't help but take a few steps back.

He was speechless after Jiang Wenjing's words. He

could only say in vain: "Brother Jiang, what do you mean by this? This prince just feels that I haven't made any achievements yet, and Sulan is a little wronged to follow me. This prince wants to wait..."

"Don't draw anymore. My sister has poor digestion and can't eat the big cakes you draw."
