After all, it is a sequel, so it must be about the story of the descendants of the time-traveling woman.
So it is quite normal that in the end the son of the time-traveling girl ascended the throne and became emperor, unifying the world.
Thinking in this way, it makes sense that Emperor Jingxi did not appoint a crown prince for a long time, because he wanted to protect his most favored son.
The Ninth Prince was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest. Although Concubine Yang was favored, her family was weak and Yang's father was the only one in the court. It would be a disaster rather than a blessing for Yang to appoint the Ninth Prince as the Crown Prince so early.
With a creak, the door opened and Jian Ying, a palace maid in green, entered the room carrying a bowl of medicine that looked unpalatable.
The two people Yan Cheng brought into the palace were not ordinary maids, but people from the secret guards, one with great martial arts skills and the other with keen observation skills.
"Your Highness, I personally prepared this medicine. It has never been prepared by anyone else."
Jian Ying wanted to feed Yan Cheng medicine, but Yan Cheng refused. He was not yet at the point where he needed someone to feed him medicine.
He sat up holding the medicine bowl, sniffed in disgust, and swallowed the medicine in one gulp under Jian Ying's half-smiling gaze.
Then the disgust flew away and his eyes widened a little.
uh-huh?
It must be said that this medicine tasted better than he had imagined.
Yan Cheng smacked his lips, savoring the sweetness just now, and felt that it could be even sweeter.
Jian Ying felt that something was wrong with her young master. He was complaining about the smell of the medicine just now, but why did he laugh after drinking it?
Holding the tray, she asked tentatively, "How are you, Your Highness?"
She used to work as a secret guard, and she only had to follow orders on a daily basis. Now she is asked to work as a maid in public, and she is still a little uncomfortable.
"Hmm..." Yan Cheng handed over the medicine bowl, "Well, I found something interesting."
Jian Ying took the bowl and blinked. How could she find something interesting while drinking medicine? Could His Highness be teasing her?
Yan Cheng asked, "You brewed that medicine yourself, and no one else has touched it?"
This palace is really...
"Yes." Jian Ying answered without thinking.
"That's strange. How could the medicine you prepared yourself be poisonous?"
Yan Cheng took out a handkerchief from his body and wiped the remaining water stains on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me it was you who poisoned me."
Of course, he didn't mean it that way, he was just joking.
But Jian Ying was frightened by the joke. She was stunned when she heard Yan Cheng say that the medicine was poisonous. After hearing this, she fell to her knees and knocked over the tray and the medicine bowl.
"Your Highness, it wasn't me! I didn't poison you."
Jian Ying was panicked. How could the medicine she prepared herself be poisonous?
"Get up, get up. Of course I believe you. I was just saying it casually. Think about it, are you really the only one who has touched that drug?"
Seeing that the backbone was calm, Jian Ying was no longer panicked. Fearing that he might miss Yan Cheng's matter, he carefully recalled the previous process.
"The imperial physician wrote the prescription, and the apprentice brought the prepared medicine. Jian Rong and I don't trust anyone in the palace. I personally prepared the medicine and brought it to you personally. No one else touched it during the process."
“No one has ever touched…”
Yan Cheng looked at the ground, where the body of the medicine bowl lay. "Is the medicine residue still there? Go to the Imperial Hospital and find a doctor to see if there is any problem with the medicine."
The medicine was prescribed by the imperial physician who took his pulse just now. He was probably the one who caused it. He is highly suspected and we definitely cannot ask him to treat the disease.
Jian Ying nodded, then said worriedly, "Your Highness, do you really not need to find an imperial physician for you?"
"Need not."
He is immune to all poisons and no poison remains in his body. Even the imperial physician cannot diagnose that he is poisoned.
Jian Ying suggested that Jian Rong come in to accompany him, but the request was still rejected. Yan Cheng now wanted to be alone for a while.
After Jian Ying left, Yan Cheng lay down again and covered himself with a pink quilt.
Perhaps accepting the memories and plots consumed too much physical energy, so his body is still very tired, but his brain is still very active.
Someone poisoned him on the first day he entered the palace, and it happened in the Queen's Fengyi Palace. Who was the mastermind behind this?
Yan Cheng had just entered the palace and had no one available under his command. It was difficult for him to find out the mastermind behind the scenes by himself. He was thinking about whether he should find someone to help investigate the matter.
Who would be willing to help him?
It was definitely impossible for Concubine Yun Shu. Thinking of the cold look just now, Yan Cheng thought, it would be good if Concubine Yun Shu didn't kill him.
Looking at her expression as if someone owes her a life, it's possible that she was the one who poisoned him.
Go to the Queen? The Queen had said before that if I had any problems, I could go to her for help.
But what if what he said just now was just a courtesy?
Yang Guifei was a time-traveling girl. She only had the Ninth Prince in her heart, so she would never meddle in other people's affairs.
The other two high-ranking concubines who had the authority to assist in managing the harem, Concubine Yin De was exiled from her mother's home and became a transparent person in the harem. Concubine Jiang Xian and Concubine Yun Shu had a bad relationship, and maybe they hated the whole family because of her.
There was no way these two people could help him.
No, Yan Cheng opened his eyes. He shouldn't think about these things first. It's hard to say whether the medicine is poisonous or not. He should wait until Jian Ying comes back from the Imperial Hospital.
After waiting for a long time, Jian Ying came back.
"Your Highness, the dregs are fine."
Yan Cheng: “…”
How could there be no problem? If there was no problem, why would the medicine be so sweet that he wanted another bowl.
"Call the doctor who took my pulse earlier and have him check if there's anything in this room that shouldn't be there."
Yan Cheng looked at the medicine residue in Jian Ying's hand and thought that his poisoning was definitely related to this bowl of medicine.
Jian Ying went back again and brought the elderly doctor. Yan Cheng didn't waste any time and asked him to check if there was anything wrong with the medicine residue.
The old doctor was in shock, fearing that he would be involved in the harem struggle and lose his life. He tasted the medicine residue carefully and then breathed a sigh of relief.
