Lan Lin took out a silver needle and said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, I need to take a drop of your blood so that I can test for poison."
The queen extended her finger.
Lan Lin pricked her fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood into the medicine dish, and used the medicine powder to test for poison.
Surprisingly... nothing can be found.
He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am terrified. I cannot detect any toxins."
The Empress cried out in despair, "If I wasn't poisoned, how could I have paralyzed muscles and tendons?"
The Empress's palace was in chaos, and the Princess's residence was no better off!
Princess Yu Rong returned to her residence, and for some reason, she had an intense craving for something she considered absolutely forbidden to eat.
She endured it, went out for a walk, and ran along the newly built running track at the princess's residence!
I hope to get rid of that thought.
But no, I can't control it, my mind is filled with those nutshell powders from the Panacea.
Finally, unable to resist, I walked toward the main hall.
He went to the study without thinking, opened the hidden compartment, and eagerly took out a packet of powder.
My mind was still resisting: I can't eat it, if I do, I'm doomed!
Another voice said: "Go ahead and eat it. It's okay to eat it once in a while. Patients use this often, and I've never seen anyone get addicted!"
...
I dipped my finger in it and put it in my mouth.
The taste wasn't very good either.
But I just want to eat it.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, just a tiny bit more...
The whole packet was gone in no time.
Feeling dizzy and weak, with the world spinning around her, she collapsed to the ground.
"Princess? Princess?"
He was one of her newly favored attendants, surnamed Cui, a dashing and refined gentleman. He smiled and helped her up, his eyes filled with deep affection: "Princess?"
She saw him, leaned against him helplessly, and was overwhelmed with the joy of having found him again.
"Your Highness, you're finally back?"
They all hit me, with sticks, stones, bricks...
"It hurts so much, why haven't you come back?"
Cui Shijun didn't know what she was saying; he only saw that she was very vulnerable.
“Princess, you never used to speak your mind like this,” Cui Shijun said tentatively. “Shall I serve you?”
Princess Yurong seemed not to understand what he was saying, and said smugly to herself, "Do you know? I'm a princess now..."
Cui Shijun was completely bewildered: You were originally a princess!
Princess Yu Rong and Cui Shijun spent a night together. The next day, feeling dizzy, she saw Cui Shijun lying beside her and asked, "Were you the one who served me yesterday?"
Cui Shijun looked at her, not knowing why, but felt very displeased. He said indifferently, "Yes, the princess said she likes me very much."
"What did I say?"
"The princess called me, the heir apparent, and said she wanted to give me a horse farm..."
The second half of the sentence was made up by him. In fact, Princess Yurong said that she had opened the Silk Road and would soon have a lot of money, becoming the richest woman in the world.
Princess Yu Rong's face turned pale, and she suddenly shouted angrily, "Get out!"
Cui Shijun's face darkened, and he turned and left.
Princess Yu Rong sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought for a long time.
She is Princess Yu Rong, a royal princess, so why does she always think of Gu Chengyan?
At that time, she clearly no longer liked him. She craved power, longed to leave him, and even hoped to build a harem...
But why am I not happy now that my wish has come true?
It's probably only when we lose something that we realize how much we cherish it.
After all, Gu Chengyan kept himself pure and only doted on her because of her.
Frustrated, she called Jinling in to serve her.
After washing my face, my mind cleared up.
But suddenly, I really crave that thing.
I felt a little scared. What happened to her?
Addicted?
He shouted, "Westward!"
Xi Luo immediately appeared in front of her, head bowed, expressionless: "Princess, please give your orders!"
"Go to Qingpu Garden for me, that is, the residence of Grand Secretary Gu, and check if there is anything unusual about Grand Secretary Gu's wife."
She suspected that the medicine she put in Xie Zhaozhao's tea might have been switched and eaten by herself.
However, even if the tea was switched, a cup or two wouldn't be enough to cause such a strong addiction!
Xi Luo responded and immediately disappeared.
Xi Luo ran back to Qingpu Garden and reported to Xie Zhaozhao that Princess Yu Rong had asked him to check if Xie Zhaozhao was acting strangely.
For the first time, Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but cover her lips with a handkerchief and smile.
"You can rest at the manor for a day before going back. Tell her that since I returned from the palace, I have been having people prepare ginseng tea."
Yesterday, Xi Luo did not enter the palace. I don't understand what happened with the ginseng tea.
“You don’t need to worry about it. Just tell her that I made the servants prepare the ginseng tea and kept saying it was wrong,” Xie Zhaozhao said. “She might even send you back to give me poison.”
Xi Luo was startled. Had he sent his master poison?
Lu Feiyan said with a smile, "Take it back, no matter what kind of poison it is. Give it to me and I will turn it into a treasure and make it into a good medicine."
“Yes, just give it to Fei Yan,” Xie Zhaozhao said. “Xi Luo, just do whatever the princess tells you to do. Anyway, she won’t know whether I eat it or not.”
The next day, Xi Luo returned to the princess's residence with news of the "investigation" and told Princess Yu Rong about Xie Zhaozhao's actions.
Princess Yu Rong was extremely excited.
Xie Zhaozhao, are you addicted?
"Send these things to her and find a way to add them to her ginseng tea."
This time, Princess Yu Rong didn't bring out fruit shell powder, but rather the real all-purpose elixir powder.
She smuggled this from the Crown Prince.
Once Shen Su returns from the Nanzhao Kingdom, she will have a large number of valuable things to control.
Princess Yu Rong was happy, but she couldn't help herself and ate another packet of fruit shell powder.
