Then these ants actually formed a line of small characters, inviting her to meet them in the small bamboo grove behind the Temple of the Holy Maiden.
The Queen of Southern Xinjiang was astonished to see the ants arranged in the shape of characters on the ground.
How did these ants manage to form a word?
Who exactly wants to see her?
Although the Empress was apprehensive, she decided to risk meeting him for the sake of saving the Crown Prince.
Anyway, she carries many Gu poisons with her, so ordinary people can't hurt her!
The Queen of Southern Xinjiang trampled all the ants to death, destroyed the evidence, and finally covered them with a futon.
"Holy Maiden Messenger, please come to the back hall for a talk. You all wait here, and no one is allowed to follow me."
"yes."
The Queen of Southern Xinjiang entered the bamboo forest behind the mountain, but saw no one: "Who invited me? Why won't you show yourself?"
An Yi only revealed himself after confirming that no one was following the Southern Frontier Empress.
"Who are you?"
"Why do you want to see me?"
“My master wishes to see you. Please come with me, Your Majesty.” An Yi said, handing the keepsake that Nan Sheng had left for Su Yujiao to the Empress of Southern Xinjiang.
The Queen of Southern Xinjiang looked at the silver bell her son wore close to his body, and tears instantly blurred her vision.
Who is the owner of your house?
"My master is here to help the Crown Prince."
The Queen of Southern Xinjiang hesitated for a few seconds, but still followed.
When the Queen of Southern Xinjiang saw Su Yujiao, she recognized her at a glance: "Are you the Holy Maiden?"
Su Yujiao asked in surprise, "Does the Empress know me?"
“Sheng’er showed me the portrait of the Holy Maiden, and you are even more beautiful than in the portrait.”
The Empress suddenly knelt down: "Please, Holy Maiden, save my child! He has been poisoned by thieves and is still unconscious."
Su Yujiao immediately stepped forward to help her up: "Your Majesty, please rise. I risked meeting you today to understand the situation."
"Are you sure the Southern Prince was poisoned and not bewitched?"
"If I were poisoned, I would be completely ignorant of it."
The Queen of Southern Xinjiang shook her head: "Sheng'er is not under the influence of Gu, but poison."
"Our Southern Frontier Kingdom is skilled at both casting and removing poisons; being poisoned is not uncommon here."
"Moreover, he is the crown prince. If he is truly afflicted by a curse, there are plenty of experts in the Southern Frontier Kingdom who can help him remove it."
"Therefore, the other party will not use Gu on him, but poison."
"Our Southern Frontier Kingdom's medical skills are poor, and there are few witch doctors, so we are helpless against poisoning."
Su Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief. If it was poisoning, she could still try to find a cure.
Although she lost her golden touch, her years of learning traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture were not in vain.
"Perhaps I can cure the Southern Crown Prince's poison, but how do I get into the palace?"
The Queen of Southern Xinjiang was extremely grateful and knelt down again to express her thanks.
"Your Majesty, please don't thank me yet."
“My Dragon-Snake Jade was stolen by Chen Yunniang, which greatly limits my medical skills and abilities. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that the Crown Prince’s poison can be cured.”
"Actually, my main purpose in coming to the Southern Frontier Kingdom this time is to retrieve the Dragon-Snake Jade."
"I hope to receive your and the Crown Prince's help."
The Empress of Southern Xinjiang nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely help."
"Before the Crown Prince fell into a coma, he told me to go find the Holy Maiden, saying that the Holy Maiden was on our side and that helping you was the same as helping ourselves."
"I am deeply grateful that the Holy Maiden has spared me the time to save Sheng'er."
"I will figure out a way to get you into the palace."
The Empress of Southern Xinjiang thought for a moment and then asked, "I wonder if it would be so kind of you, Holy Maiden, to disguise yourself as one of my maids and enter the palace with me?"
"sure."
"But can I fool the guards' questioning and the Crown Prince's spies?"
"Don't worry, I have a capable person on my side. She is a master of disguise and can disguise herself as well as others."
"Speaking of which, this person was left behind by your Southern Frontier Kingdom."
After hearing the Empress's explanation, Su Yujiao realized that the disguise expert she was talking about was the person who had taken Chen Yunniang's place in the secret room.
After her identity was exposed, Nan Sheng was so angry that she wanted to kill her, but the Empress stopped her.
The Queen thought her disguise skills were amazing and that she was a valuable asset.
He then used the Loyalty Gu to control her, and from then on, she only obeyed the Empress of Southern Xinjiang.
"Please wait a moment, Holy Maiden. I will be right back."
"good."
Soon, the Queen of Southern Xinjiang returned, followed by two women dressed as palace maids.
“Holy Maiden, this is Miao Miao, and this is Miao Cao.”
"Miaomiao is my personal maid, and she is extremely loyal to me."
"Miao Cao is a skilled disguiser, and this is the new name I gave her."
Next, the Queen of Southern Xinjiang ordered Miao Cao to disguise Su Yujiao as Miao Miao.
Afterwards, the Empress of Southern Xinjiang, along with Su Yujiao and Miao Cao, successfully entered the palace and then went to the Crown Prince's palace to visit her son. Everything went smoothly.
"You may all leave. I wish to spend more time with the Crown Prince."
"yes."
After everyone left, Su Yujiao immediately took Nan Sheng's pulse.
"The prince was poisoned by aconite, which has analgesic and anesthetic effects when used in small amounts."
"Overdose can cause poisoning, leading to unconsciousness, arrhythmia, or even cardiac arrest and death."
The empress turned deathly pale with fright and asked in a trembling voice, "Can it be cured?"
"Yes, I can give him acupuncture now, and then prescribe some medicine. The prince will wake up soon."
Upon hearing Su Yujiao's words, the Empress burst into tears and repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
"Your Majesty, treatment is of utmost importance. Don't delay. The sooner the treatment, the better."
Yes, yes, yes.
The Empress immediately stepped aside, not daring to disturb them.
Su Yujiao undressed Nan Sheng and then held her breath to perform acupuncture on him.
After a set of acupuncture treatments, Nan Sheng suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood.
"Sheng'er, you're awake?" The Empress was overjoyed.
