Chapter 236: Zhu Yandan

Shen Chaoyan looked at her serious expression and raised his eyebrows curiously, "What secret?"

"There are people belonging to Sikong Yu in the harem."

Shen Qingwan had heard Sikong Yu mention this once before, but she didn't think much about it at the time.

However, now that Sikong Yu was willing to let her leave the palace, she told Shen Chaoyan the secret, which was considered to be repaying the favor she owed.

Seeing that she didn't look like she was talking casually, Shen Chaoyan immediately asked, "Is the source of this information reliable? Do you know who that person is?"

Shen Qingwan shook her head, "I don't know. Sikong Yu accidentally let it slip once when he was alive, and I didn't think much about it at the time. It was not until he gave up my chess piece that I realized he had a backup plan. Unfortunately, Sikong Yu was gone before he could use the chess piece hidden deepest in the harem. Maybe that chess piece has settled down without its owner. I tell you this just to make you a little defensive, and err on the side of caution."

"Thank you for your reminder, I will keep an eye on the concubines in the harem."

"Well, then I'll leave."

Shen Qingwan and Shen Chaoyan didn't have much friendship, and there was nothing else to say after talking about this.

"Take care."

Shen Chaoyan watched Shen Qingwan leave, and used the Heavenly Book to search for Sikong Yu's people in the harem.

As a result, the Heavenly Book directly displayed: [No such person.]

Shen Chaoyan: [Heavenly Book, don't you find that you are becoming more and more useless?]

Heavenly Book: [Since you got pregnant, this Heavenly Book really feels insufficient energy every day. It's as if this Heavenly Book not only gave birth to a baby with you, but also breastfed it personally. In addition, this Heavenly Book has no way to directly find out the villain. Only when the villain has the intention to harm you, this Heavenly Book can accurately locate this person.]

Shen Chaoyan reluctantly accepted its explanation: [Okay, then I will wait for this chess piece to come to the door.]

However, Sikong Yu is already dead, and the other party no longer obeys him. In order to survive, perhaps this chess piece will never move.

That couldn't be better.

[Ding!]

Just as he was thinking, a line of big words suddenly popped up on the heavenly book: [There's news! The Queen Mother's old lover Wei Daozheng went to Shoukang Palace!]

Shen Chaoyan hadn't heard from Wei Daozheng for a long time, and immediately became alert: [What is this old man doing to the Queen Mother at night?]

Heavenly book: [He went to offer elixir to the Queen Mother.]

Shen Chaoyan was puzzled: [What elixir?]

Heavenly book: [Wei Daozheng had been ill for some time, and a Taoist priest called Deshan Zhenren gave him an elixir. After he took it, his body recovered.

Now he trusts this Taoist priest very much, and at the Taoist priest's suggestion, he has captured many women who are about to give birth to prepare elixir.

And what he is going to offer to the Queen Mother is the Zhuyan Pill. As long as you take it regularly, you can live forever.

Shen Chaoyan was a little worried: [The idea of ​​staying in Yan is too tempting, will the Queen Mother be fooled?] Tianshu

: [The Queen Mother accepted Wei Daozhen's elixir. The elixir is indeed not a good thing. The Deshan Zhenren is actually a remnant of the White Lotus Sect. His original name is Wang Deshan.

When you went to Luocheng, Wang Deshan returned to his hometown to handle the funeral of his mother and escaped.

After learning that the White Lotus Sect was destroyed, he fled all the way to the capital.

Speaking of which, Wang Deshan's luck is really good. At that time, Wei Daozhen had been ill for a long time and was almost recovered. He went to Wei Mansion to treat Wei Daozhen under the banner of having a panacea. A small sugar pill made Wei Daozhen particularly value him.

From then on, he called himself the Deshan Zhenren, and whenever Wei Daozhen made any move, he would let him take the spoils first.

And every time he took the spoils, Wei Daozhen would do everything smoothly. Therefore, Wang Deshan was quite popular in the Wei Mansion. 】

Shen Chaoyan: [What's the matter with the Zuyan Dan? 】

Tianshu: [The Zuyan Dan is an important means for Wei Daozhen to let his wife use to win over the wives and daughters of important officials in the court.

He presented the Zuyan Dan to the queen mother in order to better control the queen mother and make her obey his orders. 】

Since ancient times, which woman does not want her beauty to stay forever?

Wang Deshan was smart. He knew that women love beauty by nature, so he exaggerated the efficacy of the Zuyan Dan, making many officials' families flock to it.

Shen Chaoyan was worried. There were too many toxins in the pills made by ancient Taoist priests. She had to go to Shoukang Palace.

She must not let the Queen Mother be fooled by Wei Daozheng.

However, when she went there, Wei Daozheng had already left.

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows in confusion when she saw Shen Chaoyan, "Queen, why did you come to me so late?"

Shen Chaoyan turned her eyes and saw a wooden box on the table next to the Queen Mother. In the box was the Zhuyan Pill sent by Wei Daozheng.

She rolled her eyes, with a frightened expression on her face, "I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep, so I walked around. I didn't expect to come to you." The Queen Mother

couldn't help but show concern in her eyes, "What kind of nightmare did you have? Look how scared you are."

Shen Chaoyan said, "I dreamed that when I was in Luocheng, the swindlers of the White Lotus Sect deceived me that they could make a Zhuyan Pill that can make people young forever. Who knew that after I took the Zhuyan Pill, my face swelled and ulcerated, and my face was rotten."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother turned her head and glanced at the wooden box on the table.

Wei Daozheng had just sent this Zhuyan Pill to her to take, and Shen Chaoyan had a nightmare. Could this be a warning from God? Telling her not to take Zhuyan Pill casually?

So, she comforted Shen Chaoyan, "It's just a dream. Dreams are opposite to reality. Your Majesty, don't take it to heart."

Shen Chaoyan still looked panicked, as if she had not recovered from the nightmare yet. "Your Majesty, you don't know, this nightmare is too real. When I was in Los Angeles, I saw many people being cheated by those scammers of the White Lotus Sect and losing their fortunes and families!

The leader of the White Lotus Sect called the Japanese thieves Kou's Yao Wan was a panacea, deceiving hundreds of believers.

Those believers did not go to the clinic to see a doctor when they were sick, but gave all their family money to the leader of the White Lotus Sect! They

even brought their sick family members and friends into the White Lotus Sect and did not allow them to see a doctor!

They were like being bewitched, specifically deceiving their relatives and friends! It's really scary!"

When the Queen Mother heard this and looked at the wooden box again, her brows tightened.

To be honest, she did have a good impression of Wei Daozheng in the past.

Wei Daozheng used her to get things done time and time again, and she turned a blind eye to it.

However, people are never satisfied.

This time, Wei Daozheng even wanted to stuff his distant niece into the harem.

During the beauty pageant last year, Wei Daozheng stuffed Shen Qingwan into the harem.

Later, the empress dowager investigated and found out that Shen Qingwan was actually related to Sikong Yu.

The empress dowager is not naive, she just doesn't want to ruin her decades-long friendship with Wei Daozheng.

During this time, she deliberately distanced herself from Wei Daozheng, but she didn't expect him to come again and send her a so-called Zhuyan Pill.

In fact, even if Shen Chaoyan didn't come this time, the empress dowager would not take this kind of pill of unknown origin casually.

Seeing that Shen Chaoyan seemed to be frightened, the Queen Mother walked up to her and patted her back gently. "I have a talisman here that has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. I will give it to the Queen."
