Early in the morning, Chu Younan sent someone to invite Mu Ji.
Mu Ji was in a very good mood during this period. He sent people to inquire about the situation in Lin'an and learned that it was only a palm-sized area and Tangya's mansion was just a few thatched huts. He suddenly felt that the emperor was better to him.
So when he came today, he also brought a big gift for Chu Younan.
"These are several poisons and antidotes, all of which are specialties of our Yu'an..."
Chu Younan was almost amused by him. He had heard of people giving local specialties as gifts, but he had never heard of giving poison as a gift.
"What are the effects of these poisons?" Chu Younan asked.
Mu Ji began to introduce them one by one. There are three types in total. One is put in food and will kill people if eaten. There is one that is fragrant and can kill people instantly after smelling it. There is also another one that is poison powder.
"This is really powerful!" Tangya said as if he was offering a treasure. "As long as you take the antidote beforehand, and then stick the poison powder on your sleeves and brush it over someone's face, they will die instantly..."
"Wait a minute!" Chu Younan reached out and picked up the poison powder. "Are you saying that if this poison powder is brushed across a person's face, it can kill them on the spot?"
"Of course!" Mu Ji said proudly, "Not only this kind, but also this kind! If this incense is spread on clothes, people will die on the spot wherever it passes!"
I'm talking about the incense just now.
It sounds like both of these are very similar to the poison in Shan Tao’s dream, which makes Chu Younan feel that Shan Tao’s dream is more real.
He picked up the bottles of two antidotes and said, "As long as we take them in advance, the poison will be ineffective?"
Mu Ji hurriedly shook his head, "You can't take these two together! I'm afraid they will produce a new poison!"
This is a bit difficult. Who knows what kind of poison was used in the sugar duck in Shan Tao's dream? "Can you make an antidote for both poisons at the same time?" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.
Mu Ji nodded. "It's not a big problem, as long as we have enough time. It is said that these two species were studied for several years..."
Chu Younan felt that he didn't have many years to wait, but he didn't know when Tangya was going to meet him or when he was going to take action...
"I have an idea!" Chu Younan's eyes turned and he thought of someone.
Mu Ji is very interested in poison, just like Jiang Liu. The problem is whether Mu Ji is willing to take out the poison for others to study, and whether Jiang Liu is willing to study the poison.
He was thinking about this problem while eating breakfast, and Su Bei saw his worried look.
"What's wrong? If there's anything that makes you unhappy, tell me and I'll be happy." Su Bei joked.
Chu Younan couldn't help but laugh, and then told her the story.
After hearing this, Su Bei opened his mouth in astonishment, "So Shan Tao really has the ability to predict the future? Then we must be on guard against Tang Ya and don't let him harm us!"
"The problem is that we don't know what kind of poison he will use, and the two antidotes cannot be taken at the same time..."
"That's easy. The old man loves to study poisons. I think if you give him these two kinds of poisons, he will work hard to study them! Of course, he has many problems and is greedy for money, so we have to use some tricks on him!"
Su Bei's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.
That day, she took the three poisons given by Mu Ji and left the palace and went straight to Prince Zunyi's Palace.
Ever since Jiang Liu came to the capital, he has been living in the Zunyi Palace. The wealthy people in the capital have invited him many times. He has made a lot of money, which is more than enough to buy a mansion, but he just doesn't want to leave.
Why not leave? Jiang Liu had other ideas. First, he liked money but not houses. Second, if he bought a house, he would have to hire servants. How easy would it be for thieves to find silver tables and silver stools in his house? Besides, how much silver would it cost to support so many people?
Generally speaking, it's because he is stingy.
Asking him to prepare the poison would definitely cost a lot, and it was unknown when it would be developed, so Su Bei thought of a trick and directly added two antidotes into two wine glasses respectively.
But she didn't secretly give the medicine to Jiang Liu to drink. Instead, she brought it to him openly and said, "Doctor Jiang, there are two highly toxic antidotes in this wine. Taking these two antidotes at the same time will produce new toxins. I made a bet with the emperor, and he said you can't make a medicine that can replace these two antidotes within three days. I said you can, so tell me, can you do it?"
Jiang Liu suddenly became interested. "Then why don't you show me the poison? Isn't this a piece of cake for me?"
"No." Su Bei said decisively, "There is no poison, only two antidotes. Otherwise, why is it difficult? If you use poison to make an antidote, probably any doctor on the street can do it."
Jiang Liu was immediately provoked by him. He tilted his head back and poured two cups of poisoned wine into his mouth. "Is there an antidote that I, Jiang Liu, can't make? I don't believe it! You just wait! It won't take three days, at most two days! If you can't make it, you have to move this silver table away from me!"
Su Bei didn't really care about his silver table, but he was a little worried. Maybe the old man would be poisoned the next time he came...
She had just returned to the palace and happened to see a carriage leaving the palace. The decorations on the carriage were extremely shabby and it looked like it must be the Dayuan Prince's candied duck.
If she met a wooden chicken, Su Bei would definitely say hello, but this was a sugar duck, so she didn't dare to say hello and quickly asked the driver to get out of the way.
Sugar Duck didn't notice her carriage at all, he was filled with anger at this time.
His people had already arrived in Lin'an a long time ago, and had been concentrating on making poison during this period. Since Chu Younan looked down on him so much, he would make the people of Wu country regret it!
A little Yu An couldn't let go of his ambition. He wanted to poison Chu Younan and all the officials in the court, and then become the emperor of Wu! Unfortunately, he came with a bag full of poison to ask for an audience, but he learned that Chu Younan was discussing important matters with the ministers and could not see him for the time being!
Not today, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. That damned Wuguo emperor deserves to die for his contempt for him! Seeing Tangya's carriage leave, Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the imperial study.
In fact, there is only Chu Younan in the Imperial Study Room. However, it is not that he is cowardly. Since he knows that Tangya may have bad intentions, if he rashly meets her before the antidote is made, it will be against his own life! He has not even turned 30 yet! He does not want to die young.
Seeing Su Bei coming in, Chu Younan hurriedly asked, "You didn't run into the sugar duck, did you?"
"I did run into him, but... I dodged him..." Su Bei said unconfidently, feeling that he was a bit too cowardly.
The two looked at each other, and there was the same embarrassment in their eyes.
You can escape the first day, but you can't escape the fifteenth. It all depends on Jiang Liu.
