Princess Yong'an looked at Shen Yuerong, "Of course he has someone in his heart, and his temper is not as sharp as before, but I don't think this is a bad thing. After all, the Queen Mother and I have watched him grow up. He has a bit of human aura, and his nose will no longer treat himself as a tool."
Mentioning the past, the Queen Mother sighed.
"Too."
The Queen Mother had someone move a chair and told Shen Yuerong to sit down.
Just as Shen Yuerong was about to ask something, she heard Yongan say, "Mother, Rongrong and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We have some things to say, so we'll leave first."
The Queen Mother looked at her lovingly and did not stop Princess Yong'an. Instead, she just added, "Before leaving the palace, remember to pay your respects to the Queen."
Princess Yong'an responded perfunctorily, transformed herself, and took her out of the Empress Dowager's palace.
"I remember he told me and warned you not to enter the palace for no reason, let alone come to see the Queen Mother. Why..."
Princess Yong'an understood everything when she saw Shen Yuerong's expression.
"You are really a stubborn person."
"I just want to understand what kind of poison the Empress Dowager has. My father once specialized in this research, but I didn't find the name of this poison in his diary, let alone the solution, so I..."
For a doctor, seeking knowledge and enlightenment is the most important thing, and he cannot tolerate the existence of medical drugs and poisons in the world that he does not understand.
And for Shen Yuerong, the toxin in the Queen Mother's body was even more strange. It was a sign of poisoning, but whether judging from her pulse or her expression, it was just qi deficiency.
This is a very normal phenomenon for an old person of her age.
"You really are... you won't cry until you see the coffin."
Princess Yong'an held her words in for a long time before uttering these words, and then quietly pulled her into her carriage.
"You want to know what the Queen Mother is, I'll tell you it is!"
"You know?"
Shen Yuerong was even more curious.
Princess Yong'an was helpless, so she told her the name of the poison.
"This poison is called Xiyan. Yes, it is the Xiyan that blooms at night."
Princess Yong'an looked at Shen Yuerong's expression and knew what she wanted to say.
"The poison of Xiyan will only slowly corrode a person's body. It is a chronic poison and will make people addicted without knowing it. If they do not take it for a long time, they will feel like they are being bitten by thousands of insects because of greed, and eventually die."
This is poison, and it is also used by drug addicts.
"Then how could the Queen Mother possibly take this kind of thing?"
Shen Yuerong was even more confused as to why the Empress Dowager would come across these poisonous substances that even normal women would never touch.
"When the Empress Dowager was young, she accompanied the Immortal Emperor in conquering the four directions. Because of this, she suffered many injuries on her body. However, due to the difficult conditions at that time, there was no way to treat them in time, so she was seriously injured and suffered unbearable pain all over her body. In order to make herself feel better, she used Xiyan."
"So the Empress Dowager has been taking Xiyan all these years?"
If those people had used Xiyan at the beginning, the Empress Dowager would have had no way to leave, so she could only continue to take it secretly.
Princess Yong'an nodded helplessly.
"The reason why my brother doesn't want you to investigate further is because this Xiyan has long been banned by the country, and the Xiyan that the Empress Dowager has is something that everyone has kept in secret. And the reason why it looks so serious this time is because the Empress Dowager couldn't bear it anymore and took an overdose, so this is what happened."
Princess Yong'an sighed. After all, the Empress Dowager had raised her personally and could be considered her foster parent.
Shen Yuerong sighed. She didn't expect that the truth she had been investigating for many days would be so frightening.
"The Queen Mother naturally doesn't want her grief to spread, so she doesn't want to tell anyone about it. I also don't want you to continue investigating. If the Queen Mother knew that you already knew this, she would actually kill you."
The Empress Dowager has her own dignity, and the younger generations like them only know about the Emperor and the princes.
Although Shen Yuerong is now Chi Mu's chosen wife.
But in front of the Empress Dowager, she was still just a woman who was not presentable enough.
"No wonder."
Shen Yuerong felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have been so impulsive from the beginning.
"I'll take you back first. You should stay at the Shen family for the next few days and don't go out. If the palace summons you, just tell them that you have a severe cold and can't get up."
"good."
Chen Yuerong agreed, but she felt more and more that there was something fishy about the Empress Dowager's affair with Shi Xiyan.
With so many people coming and going around the Empress Dowager, is it possible that apart from those who knew about this matter from the very beginning, no one else knew about it?
Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he still sent the person back to the Shen family safely under the protection of Princess Yong'an.
Shen Yuerong did not let the two siblings worry about her. She turned around and announced to the outside world that she had caught a cold and would not see any visitors for a while.
…
"You said... Miss Shen entered the palace, and after she came back she said she was not feeling well, had caught a cold, and couldn't get up?"
The prince looked with great interest at the person he had placed opposite the mansion.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Princess Yong'an brought the person back from the palace. He was unconscious when he was sent to the mansion. Now the door of the Shen family has been closed. I'm afraid there has been a commotion in the courtyard."
“Try to plant our people in the Shen family. I want to see what Shen Yuerong is playing?”
"I have always been... But the Shen family's people have always been either from the old people or from the palace. Our people can't get in at all."
Shen Yuerong was very cautious.
The entire Shen family is guarded by Qi Bo and others, and they don’t use outside thugs at all.
As for the servants serving in the belly, there was no trouble since there was only one master. There was a cook living in the yard, and there were two or three servants to clean the house, and no others.
It is very clean and you can tell who is who in the yard at a glance.
But it is really difficult to insert people.
The prince sat aside, admiring the flower buds in front of him.
"Really? Could it be that the Shen family is still the inner palace?"
There are so many experts in the Forbidden City, so the people who should be involved can still be sent in.
What's more, it's just a small Shen family.
"Do your job well. If you say you can't give me a perfunctory answer next time, I won't have to keep you."
