After dismissing the court, Eunuch Li poured out the incense ash from the bronze tripod and brought it over along with the unburned incense.
The emperor was meeting with ministers in the imperial study. He was thinking about the situation here and listened absent-mindedly.
After repeated inspections, Linlang finally confirmed that the poison was mixed in with the incense. The other party had a clever design, placing it in a place that was never boiled.
Finally finding the poison, Eunuch Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "Great, great."
Linlang also breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally found it and could leave the palace soon.
After finding the poison and adding an inducer, Linlang prepared an antidote. The emperor took it every day and was detoxified after three days.
After the emperor finished his official business, he didn't wait for Linlang to come over and went straight to her, "Doctor Rong, how is it?"
"Your Majesty, the poison has been found. It's inside this incense." Linlang handed over the antidote pills. "This is the antidote pill. Take it once in the morning and once in the evening for three days. After three days, if Your Majesty is worried, you can ask me to come for a follow-up consultation."
"Okay, okay." The emperor excitedly took the medicine bottle, put it away as if it were his treasure, and asked, "Doctor Rong, why didn't my incompetent imperial physicians discover that I was poisoned?"
The Imperial Physician came every morning and evening to check Ping An's pulse. He had previously been suffering from sexual problems and had been treated as a pediatrician for a while. They found no signs of poisoning, which the Emperor found unusual.
Linlang replied, "Your Majesty, this poison is very concealed and is quickly absorbed by the body. It cannot be detected by pulse examination. This poison comes from Miaojiang."
Everyone has heard about how poisonous the Miao people are. The emperor realized that the Miao people were in the same boat with the Northern Qi.
The poison had been found and the antidote had been given, and the emperor himself handled the rest.
Linlang didn't want to stay in the palace any longer and was eager to go home. The emperor saw this and said, "Doctor Rong, please be patient. I will escort you out of the palace immediately."
She is pregnant and Su Nanting is so worried, so it is better to send her away earlier.
Before leaving, Linlang left behind test paper for testing poison, so that if the other party changed the method of poisoning, it could be detected.
As soon as Linlang left, the emperor's expression dropped to freezing point. He summoned the imperial guards and said, "Investigate for me, no matter the cost."
How can he allow others to sleep soundly on his bed? He has already been poisoned. He will not be able to sleep or eat unless he catches the poison.
"yes."
On the other side, Linlang left the palace smoothly. Looking at the palace gate getting farther and farther away, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the depressed feeling in her heart finally disappeared.
When they arrived at the store, Linlang got off the carriage, thanked Eunuch Miao, and got on her own carriage.
When Rong Yi saw his sister come out safely, a smile appeared on his face. He flicked the whip and went home.
As soon as Linlang got into the carriage, she fell into a warm embrace, and Amu came to take her home.
Amu looked at Linlang carefully, not missing a single inch, and then hugged her tightly, "I'm glad you came out safely."
"This time it went very smoothly. It felt like divine help. Every time I suddenly thought of something, I found it was really there." Linlang leaned in Amu's arms, feeling at ease. She placed Amu's hand on her lower abdomen, "I feel like it's the little one guiding me."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Linlang finished speaking, the little guy in her belly moved, as if responding to Linlang's words.
It’s been four months, and this is the first time the baby has moved. The young couple was very surprised, especially Amu, who thought it was magical.
He squatted in front of Linlang, put his cheek on her belly, and whispered, "Son, I am your father."
The little guy moved a little, maybe kicked him, and Amu grinned happily, "Son, good son."
However, the baby was still young and only moved a few times before stopping. Linlang told Amu, "The older he gets, the more he moves, and his strength will grow. He can push up my belly, and I can even see his little hands and feet clearly."
Ah Mu was so excited when he heard that, "Son, be good and grow up quickly."
Such a gentle Amu exudes the radiance of a father. Linlang sighed, it’s great that their family is complete in this life.
When they arrived at the door of their house, the couple had just gotten off the carriage when Mo'er ran out. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely rush over to hug them.
Now knowing that Linlang was pregnant with a nephew, Mo'er stopped in front of Linlang, then slowly walked over and hugged her, "Sister."
Linlang hugged Mo'er and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you. Things are almost over now. We can go back to Lu'er Town soon."
"Yeah." Mo'er held Linlang's hand, "I like Lu'er Town. I miss Uncle Rong and my friends."
Linlang smiled and nodded, "Okay, then we'll go back early."
After arriving home, Rong Yi and Mo Er didn't disturb Lin Lang, letting her rest well. They tacitly didn't ask about the affairs of the palace. Since it concerned the emperor, the less they knew, the better.
Amu fetched some water for Linlang to wash up. "Have a good sleep. I'll call you when lunch is ready."
Linlang reached out and stroked Amu's brow. "You have something on your mind, don't you want to tell me?"
Amu had adjusted his mentality and tried hard to look normal. Unexpectedly, Linlang observed him so carefully, but he was still discovered by her.
"I originally wanted to let you rest well before telling you, but now that you've discovered it, you definitely won't be able to sleep if I don't tell you."
Ah Mu told him about his encounter with Duke Dingguo on the way back yesterday and about Xiao Yujian's condition. "I hope he can be stronger."
Amu held Linlang's hand and said, "I'll have to ask my wife to take a look at him when the time comes."
"Your brother is my brother. I will do my best to help him whenever I get the chance."
Linlanghui held Amu's hand and said, "Good things happen to good people. He will be fine."
Ah Mu nodded, helped Linlang lie down, and told her about the wife of Duke Dingguo. "There must be other spies in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. We need to continue to investigate secretly."
"There is also the Shunyang Marquisate. There are also problems. Maybe this matter is related to them."
Linlang hadn't expected the situation to be so complicated. "I think I can talk to my father, the Marquis, about this matter. We can work together to find a solution. There's strength in numbers."
Ah Mu agreed, "My father-in-law has a wide network of contacts, and his help will make things more efficient."
Linlang pulled Amu to lie down together, and the couple chatted in private. Linlang told him about the emperor's birthday celebration. "This time, the Northern Qi lion asked for a lot of money, and the list was very long. The emperor was very angry and wanted to send it later."
Amu didn't think so. Now that Jingchao had more powerful thunder bombs, the emperor didn't want to send tribute.
Now that the emperor has been poisoned, he will take the opportunity to eliminate some hidden figures of Northern Qi and clean up the court.
Perhaps, after the Wanshou Festival, Jing Dynasty will have a tough battle to fight.
It would be better to take this opportunity to report the matter of Wushisan to the emperor, find out the source of the poison, and cut off the transaction in order to completely eliminate the scourge.
Amu was certain that all this was manipulated by spies from Northern Qi.
Don’t tell Linlang about this for the time being, let her have a good rest. She is pregnant and we can’t let her worry too much.
Looking at the sleeping face beside him, Amu felt at ease.
