Chapter 194 Going with the Flow
After Su Yuheng was taken out of Jiaqing Palace by the palace maid, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had long heard that the Qin Emperor was licentious and immoral, and that he loved to look for all kinds of women for his pleasure.
Now that I think about it, I am lucky to be able to leave Jiaqing Palace like this today.
After leaving Jiaqing Palace, she was taken to Concubine Yue's bedroom.
When Concubine Yue saw that the person coming was the Prime Minister's daughter, she chatted with her for a few words.
Su Yuheng just casually agreed.
On the other side, inside the Jiaqing Hall, the candlelight flickered slightly.
Emperor Qin's gaze fell on Minglang, staring at him straight.
The atmosphere in the hall was tense and a little depressing for a moment.
Finally, it was Minglang who broke the silence.
Minglang asked, "Your Majesty, do you have something important to discuss with me?"
Emperor Qin put down the teacup in his hand, took out a White Tiger Order from his sleeve and shook it in his hand.
"Prime Minister, do you know what this is?"
"The Zhao family's White Tiger Order."
Minglang frowned, took a step forward, and took the White Tiger Order handed to him by Emperor Qin.
He picked up the token and looked at it for a moment, and immediately found something wrong.
"Your Majesty, could this token be the one the Second Prince brought back?"
The Qin Emperor nodded and said, "Yes, I sent him to Dayan to personally obtain it at the residence of Duke Gao. Look at this token, it's genuine."
Prime Minister Ming glanced at it for a moment, then shook his head: "No, this token is fake."
"Fake?" Emperor Qin slammed his palm on the table beside him.
"This idiot went to Dayan and brought back a fake product."
"Now that the White Tiger Order is fake, even if Princess Li comes to our Qin State, we can't use the White Tiger Order and Zhao Yurou to get the help of the Zhao family."
Emperor Qin was so angry that his face turned red and he threw the fake White Tiger Order in his hand to the ground.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Send someone to Yanjing to get the White Tiger Order?"
The Qin Emperor said coldly, "No, since Duke Gao has disobeyed my orders in Dayan, let's fight to the death."
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" asked Prime Minister Ming.
The Qin Emperor sneered and said, "Of course, I want Duke Gao to die in Dayan."
"Don't worry, I will find a way to have someone find the real White Tiger Order."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Minglang again.
That look made Minglang feel a chill down his spine.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The Qin Emperor said, "It seems that the Prime Minister is not stupid. He knows why I asked you to bring Princess Li with you."
Minglang trembled: "I know."
"It's good to know."
"I also believe that the Prime Minister does not want her to return to Dayan. If that is the case, why not let her stay in our Qin State?"
"Although she married the King of Yanli, I will not despise her."
"When the time comes and the matter is settled, you can write a letter in her handwriting to Dayan and Prince Huo Xingzhi of Nali to initiate the divorce."
"She has entered my harem, so could Prince Li come and snatch her away?"
"Don't forget, she is the daughter of the Zhao family and has half of the Zhao family's bloodline. This is why I want her to enter the harem."
Minglang bowed and said, "I know what to do. I will follow your majesty's instructions."
Emperor Qin said coldly: "Five days from now, when the Second Prince marries Princess Jialuo of Dayan, it will be the best time."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Minglang left the bedroom, Su Yuheng was just brought out of Concubine Yue's bedroom by the nanny.
"It's getting late now, let's go home."
Minglang said this coldly and took Su Yuheng to the carriage.
After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Yuheng went straight back to Zijing Courtyard.
As soon as I entered the room, Zhuque and Linglong came in from outside.
Linglong handed a letter to Su Yuheng.
"This is the conversation our people heard outside Wang's wing."
Su Yuheng opened the letter, glanced at the contents, and stood up suddenly.
"You two, follow me to mother's yard."
The two maids didn't know what was going on, but seeing Su Yuheng so anxious, they must have known that something had happened on Zhao's side.
Under the moonlight, Su Yuheng took Linglong and Zhuque and walked straight to the courtyard where Zhao was.
As soon as I entered Zhao's room, I saw Mingyue holding a bowl of black medicine and feeding it to Zhao with a spoon.
Su Yuheng frowned and looked at Zhuque and Linglong.
The two maids have a very good understanding.
One person went to close the door, and the other took the medicine from Mingyue's hand, and then knocked Mingyue unconscious.
The medicine was placed on the table. Su Yuheng picked up the medicine and smelled it, but could not smell anything.
Then I used silver needles, which turned black.
"There really is a medicine in it called Datura."
Zhao was a little bit surprised.
"What did you say? Mandala?"
Seeing that Zhao was nervous, Su Yuheng walked over and helped her lie down.
She naturally knew what kind of medicine Datura was.
It is a chronic poison. If taken for a long time, the person will die from the poison within half a year.
This poison is colorless and odorless, and generally no one can detect it.
Now it seems that Wang can't sit still and wants her mother to die.
"Princess, what should we do now?"
Su Yuheng looked at Linglong expressionlessly.
"Pour out this bowl of medicine and keep the residue for now."
Linglong nodded, walked over and poured the medicine into the potted plants, then filtered out the residue and wrapped it in white cloth.
"Then what?" Linglong asked.
Su Yuheng sighed and said, "This medicine is not poisonous enough. We should use something more poisonous."
"It would be best if the poison killed the person within seven days."
"Ah?" The two maids were stunned.
Su Yuheng instructed Linglong: "Linglong, go to Yipinxuan tonight and ask the owner of Yipinxuan to prepare a medicine for you called Gelsemium elegans."
"Ask the boss of Yipinxuan if we can get this medicine tomorrow."
Linglong clasped her fists and said, "Yes, Princess, I will go right away."
After Linglong finished speaking, she turned and left the wing room, bypassed the patrolling guards, and secretly left through the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Suzaku was a little puzzled.
"Princess, I remember that this Gelsemium is extremely poisonous."
"The princess bought poison, could it be that she wants Madam to eat it?"
"Nonsense." Su Yuheng smiled faintly and walked to Zhao's bedside.
Zhao groped in the dark, reached out and grabbed Su Yuheng's wrist, and smiled.
"Mother knows Heng'er's intention. Heng'er wants to use Wang's hand to push things along."
"Don't worry, from now on, mother will secretly pour out the medicine and save the residue."
Su Yuheng said, "Mother is a smart person. After seven days, please cooperate with me and Azhou."
Listening to the conversation between Su Yuheng and Zhao, Zhuque finally understood.
"I understand."
Su Yuheng: "You are not too stupid."
She turned around and looked at Zhao who was lying on the bed.
"Mother, please be careful here. I will come to see you often."
Zhao nodded, "Mother knows."
It was already late at night when Su Yuheng returned to his Zijing Courtyard.
After Zhuque woke Mingyue up, Mingyue was confused for a moment.
Zhuque said, "From now on, Madam, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what happens in the courtyard."
Mingyue nodded: "I understand."
The next day.
Linglong indeed brought the medicine Gelsemium elegans from Yipinxuan.
Su Yuheng handed the medicine to Linglong.
"Let the secret guards do this. If we go, we will alert the enemy."
Linglong said: "Yes, Princess."
Inside Mingshui Pavilion.
As usual, the nanny brought a bowl of black medicine.
However, this medicine was secretly added with the poison of Gouteng.
The nanny handed the medicine to Zhao.
"Madam, this medicine must be taken while it's hot. It won't be effective if it's cold."
"Now that the medicine has been delivered, I will go back first."
Zhao nodded slowly, "Thank you, Madam."
After the nanny reached the door, she turned back and glanced into the side room. Seeing Mingyue feeding the medicine to Zhao with a spoon, she turned around and left with peace of mind.
"Madam, the person has left." Mingyue whispered
"The spoon I scooped out was empty, so the maid probably didn't see it."
Zhao said: "You did a good job."
"Pour out the medicine and collect the residue."
"This is the first day. We will be able to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in six days."
