Chapter 219: Truth Serum
Feng Aoqing asked about the time when the queen fell ill, the condition of the illness, and the results of the examination by the imperial physician in the palace.
Generally speaking, serious illnesses are unlikely to occur suddenly, and there will definitely be some physical reactions beforehand.
However, if a person suddenly becomes seriously ill when he or she is completely healthy, it is most likely caused by external factors.
The situation is unclear now, Feng Aoqing didn't say much, for fear that Han Lang would worry.
She took out a water bag and handed it to Ying Shen: "You go first. When you return, give this water to the queen to drink and tell her that it was given by King Yu."
"Water?" Ying Shen was a little confused.
"This water can keep her alive until we go back." Feng Aoqing explained.
Ying Shen nodded immediately upon hearing this. He held the water bag in his arms like a treasure and said, "I'll leave now."
"Be careful. If anyone asks you about it, just say you came back to report. Don't mention the water incident to anyone, not even the emperor." Han Lang instructed again.
"Your Highness, I understand." He turned around and got off the carriage, mounted his horse and galloped away.
Han Lang felt a little relieved and held Feng Aoqing's hand, but his expression was solemn, probably because he had guessed it.
"I think it's because I came back. If I hadn't come back, maybe..."
Feng Aoqing comforted him, "It doesn't matter whether you come back or not. What matters is that the Crown Prince has gone to expand the territory. I think there must be news of victory. The Queen's mother's family is already prosperous. I'm afraid some people will be restless if the Crown Prince does this. It may have nothing to do with you. Don't think so."
Han Lang smiled helplessly: "It's always these things."
"Fortunately, my second son doesn't have these troubles. Even if he wants to fight, there is no one to compete with him. He is the only one left." Feng Aoqing felt relieved when she thought of Mo Nanzhou.
Han Lang suddenly realized: "You came with me and are you afraid of them?!"
Feng Aoqing shook her head: "No, I just want to follow you."
"No, you must be thinking that as long as you are here, you are in Tianyao, your second son won't dare to move, right?" Only then did Han Lang realize her good intentions.
"If there's any movement, we'll just run away. It's no big deal." Feng Aoqing looked indifferent.
Han Lang sighed deeply: "I took you away. I originally wanted to keep you away from these troubles, but now it seems that my wish has not come true. You still have to return to the capital with me and face these things."
Feng Aoqing shook his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It's good for us to be together. Wouldn't it be boring if we have nothing to do? We'll leave when your mother recovers."
Han Lang had no intention of competing with his elder brother, but Yuwen You chose to use his parents' favoritism as a stumbling block to his succession to the throne. He didn't know that he was already the crown prince, and it seemed that the one he wanted to compete with was not Han Lang, but someone else.
The hand has already reached out to the queen. Yuwen You's foundation is not stable. If his mother dies and his mother's family is in chaos, Yuwen You will also be affected.
Han Lang held Feng Aoqing in his arms: "Why is it that everything is no big deal to you? It's just like this, just like that, so easy, and it seems so right?"
"Isn't this what all capable people do?" Feng Aoqing raised his face and smiled proudly.
"Ah, yes, yes! You're the best!"
"Actually, it's because I'm a bystander that I can say it so easily. If I were you, I might be more worried than you." Feng Aoqing said sincerely.
After chatting with her, Han Lang felt much more comfortable and at ease.
It turns out that he was the one who had been taking care of her all the time!
After a year, she seemed to have matured and become calmer, more decisive and wiser when encountering problems.
But in front of him, most of the time I am wanton, pretentious, and sometimes even crazy.
Because we were in a hurry, we basically didn't stop along the way except to rest and fill our stomachs.
Yuan Xu and Du Hui took turns driving. While one was driving, the other would sleep on the carpet in front of the bed.
Feng Aoqing made the bedding thicker and softer so that they could sleep more comfortably.
After exile and all the running around, she has become very accustomed to traveling long distances by car.
Yuan Xu said, "I can't sleep. Did Your Highness bring any books? Let me read."
Feng Aoqing and Han Lang smiled and handed the book over.
After a few minutes, Yuan Xu said, "Why do I feel so dizzy?"
"Keep watching, you won't feel dizzy anymore." Han Lang encouraged.
"Yes." Yuan Xu continued reading.
Then...yue...vomited.
"Don't play tricks on me like this, I won't feel dizzy soon, but I will vomit, right?" Yuan Xu said hatefully.
This was the first time he accompanied Ying Shen on a long journey; he had never even left the capital before.
The farthest we could go was to a villa in the suburbs of Beijing with the king and queen to escape the summer heat.
Feng Aoqing was also bored, so she asked Yuan Xu if he knew any interesting stories about the concubines in the palace, such as who was the most favored, what big families there were in the royal city, what their situations were, and what delicious and fun things were there.
"That's just..." Yuan Xu looked at Han Lang who was glaring at him and said, "That's just not what I know."
"Tell me, or I'll poison you to death."
"Poison, just poison him to death! I can't say it!" Yuan Xu covered his mouth tightly. He knew that Feng Aoqing was a good person and it was impossible for her to poison him to death.
"Why did you bully him?" Han Lang chimed in.
"Then you say." Feng Aoqing bumped into Han Lang.
"What did I say?"
"Which concubine does your father favor the most?"
"Of course it's Concubine Xin!" Han Lang was shocked after saying this.
Feng Aoqing held his hand to prevent him from covering his mouth, and asked with a smile: "So which lady from a wealthy family did your mother introduce to you?"
"Cheng'an..."
Yuan Xu was originally surprised. He said that the king favored his concubine, but that was his elder. He knew the answer to the following question! He absolutely couldn't say that! He could only say that he didn't want anyone!
But... he finally sensed something was wrong, jumped up, and covered Han Lang's mouth.
"The legitimate daughter of Marquis Cheng'an, right? Okay, okay." Feng Aoqing nodded.
When Feng Aoqing saw Han Lang starting to get angry, she immediately took out the antidote and fed it to him.
"I will never dare to eat anything you give me again! You're trying to poison me! You're trying to poison me! I'm going to starve to death! Me, me, me, the three of us have to find food for ourselves!" Han Lang was reluctant to scold or hit him, so he could only yell a few words to make it count.
Yuan Xu was dumbfounded and asked in shock, "Is this the medicine made by Madam? It's so powerful?!"
Feng Aoqing nodded and said, "Yes! I left it for the secret guards to use for interrogation later. It seems to be quite effective. Do you dare to eat it?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Yuan Xu answered without thinking.
Feng Aoqing really stuffed one into his hand. Yuan Xu first handed it to Du Hui, who was driving the coach, and then reached out for another one, and they both swallowed it.
"Ask, ma'am," he said seriously.
"What are you asking? You thought I didn't believe you! Candy beans, here!" Feng Aoqing gave him a handful of MM beans.
"Sugar beans! Delicious." Yuan Xu nodded happily and began to feed Du Hui, who was not very verbal and had social anxiety.
