"But why is there poisonous fog here, and it is usually invisible?" Su Mengyan continued to ask.
Glancing at Su Mengyan's expression, Fan Chen'an continued to explain, "This poison infects people through the air. Simply put, this poison can exist in the invisible air."
But no matter what, since there is poison, there must be someone who poisoned it. So how did the person who poisoned it get the poison into the air?
After thinking for a moment, Fan Chen'an asked, "These poisons can exist on anything. If you burn something with poison, the poison will remain in the air. Now that the poison is in the air, it means you must have burned something here."
Burning something? Su Mengyan remembered.
"Some time ago, I don't know who was sending peonies here. Because the flowers came from unknown sources, I had them burned. I didn't expect..."
"It's probably the problem with the peony." Fan Chen'an said.
Su Mengyan didn't expect that a pot of flowers could actually carry volatile poison.
"But peony doesn't have any strange smell." Su Mengyan said it as she remembered.
"Your Highness, there are many colorless and odorless poisons in this world, and this poison happens to be able to exist on any object and even has the smell of the object it is attached to. So you won't feel that it has any other smell because this is its characteristic." Fan Chen'an explained patiently.
"This place is full of toxins now. It's useless to just take medicine. You must leave here first and wait for the toxins here to settle down before you can solve the problem all at once." Fan Chen'an proposed a solution without waiting for Su Mengyan to ask.
Su Mengyan thought about it and felt that Fan Chen'an was right. Even if there was an antidote, if she continued to stay in this poisonous fog, she would be poisoned again.
"Pass the order down, temporarily close the East Palace, don't let anyone in, and move everyone here to live somewhere else." Su Mengyan ordered.
Then, Fan Chen'an took out another medicine and gave it to Su Mengyan, saying that she should take it first, which could relieve the toxins.
The relocation of the Eastern Palace caused a sensation, and the poisoning incident could no longer be concealed. Everyone in the palace was in a panic, fearing that if they had too much contact with people from the Eastern Palace, they would be poisoned as well.
Because of this situation, the people in the Eastern Palace felt very embarrassed for a while.
Even though Fan Chen'an was already researching the antidote, those people still considered their own safety and did not actively approach anyone from the Eastern Palace.
Because this matter was so unbelievable, even the empress dowager in the palace knew about it.
Recently, it happened to be the Queen Mother's birthday.
Su Mengyan only remembered this matter after being reminded by the palace maid.
It's not her fault that she couldn't remember the Empress Dowager's birthday. It was because there were too many things going on during this period of time. She was so busy that she even got poisoned.
"It's the Empress Dowager's birthday soon, and something like this happened again. I think the Empress Dowager must be very upset. Well, I will go and apologize to him today!" Su Mengyan thought.
She knew that the Queen Mother had always been quite dissatisfied with her. If she didn't apologize, it would probably make her impression in his mind even worse.
With this idea in mind, Su Mengyan took her maid to the Queen Mother's palace.
"Greetings, Grandmother. Today, your granddaughter-in-law comes to apologize to you." Su Mengyan bowed deeply and said while kneeling on the ground.
Since she is here today, she must do her best so that the Queen Mother cannot find any fault with her.
As expected, her respectful attitude left the empress dowager speechless.
"This matter is not your fault alone. Who would have thought that someone would poison the people in your East Palace? Get up quickly!" The Queen Mother could only ask her to get up.
The palace maid helped Su Mengyan up. Su Mengyan stood there respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. This matter has made you worried. It is my fault."
The Queen Mother seemed to have found something to say, her tone half distressed, half blaming: "I'm worried that it's okay, as long as you're okay. You go out so often, I don't know where you offended anyone, don't do that next time."
Although she knew that the Queen Mother did it on purpose, Su Mengyan had no other choice but to not only not get angry but also look very grateful and thank the Queen Mother for her concern.
"Okay, you're not feeling well, sit down." Su Mengyan apologized and wanted to leave, but she heard the Queen Mother say this.
She knew that the Queen Mother must have something to say, otherwise she wouldn't have left a message for her.
Smiling at the Queen Mother, Su Mengyan sat on the stool next to her.
If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster; if it is a disaster, it is inevitable. Since the Queen Mother has something to say, how can she not listen to it?
The Queen Mother suddenly stared at her belly, which made Su Mengyan's heart skip a beat and she felt that something was wrong.
"It's been a while since you got married to the prince!" The Queen Mother retracted her gaze and said this slowly.
"Yes, it has been a while." It seems that things are just as he expected. The Queen Mother is probably concerned about the issue of offspring.
But this kind of thing doesn't happen just like that.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother continued, "You've been married for such a long time, and there's been no sign of pregnancy. Now that you've been poisoned, I've consulted the imperial physician. I'm afraid you won't be able to conceive for a while."
The Queen Mother's words made Su Mengyan's heart even more worried.
However, she still patiently said to the Queen Mother, "Thank you for your concern, Grandmother. It's a coincidence that the Crown Prince is away at this time, so I have time to recuperate."
I had a shy smile on my face, as if I was telling a secret.
The Queen Mother was somewhat dissatisfied when she saw that Su Mengyan did not speak according to her ideas.
She had felt that Su Mengyan was not worthy of the position of Crown Princess at the beginning, and now she felt that Su Mengyan was not considerate enough.
"Hmph." The Queen Mother no longer gave Su Mengyan face: "How can you, alone, help the Crown Prince to have many children? I think we should arrange for a few concubines or side concubines for him."
Su Mengyan's expression did not change. She knew from the beginning what the Queen Mother was planning.
"Let's wait until the Crown Prince returns to discuss this matter." This indifferent response to the Queen Mother's "kindness" was unrelated.
But how could the Queen Mother be so easily fooled?
Her expression grew increasingly uglier. "As the daughter-in-law of an imperial family, how can you be so jealous? You must know that the Crown Prince will become the Supreme Ruler in the future. How long will you monopolize him?"
These words were indeed harsh to hear, but Su Mengyan remained unchanged.
If she lets the prince go so easily, then what's the point of her traveling through time?
