Chapter 292: Poison
Jiang Shenyuan examined the "corpse" and gave the necessary things. The coffin in the hall was then carried out.
"After opening it, Fu Yi couldn't be woken up anymore?" Prince Liang sat aside, his face pale.
He couldn't be happy even though his daughter didn't doubt him.
Cheng Nianying picked up something with her chopsticks and said, "Hmm."
Prince Liang stared at it and said, "I think I've seen this in the kitchen. Is it used for seasoning?"
"It's not the same thing. This is poisonous grass. If its smell spreads in a narrow space, it will make people dizzy. If eaten by mistake, it will cause convulsions and death."
Prince Liang carefully checked Fu Yi's breath and said, "Fortunately, the coffin is well ventilated. Fu Yi is just temporarily unconscious, right?"
"Um."
But no one can predict what kind of subsequent impact it will have on the body.
Prince Liang suppressed the urge to sigh and said, "I have sent someone to invite the imperial physician Tong from the Prince's residence."
"Jiang Shenyuan's recipe..." King Liang paused, "I think he's a very sinister person. Even if I can trick him, I still find it hard to trust what he gives me."
King Liang felt a little regretful. "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it. It was me who suggested he fake his own death. He's so clever, why did he actually follow me and take such a risk?"
Having said that, King Liang actually had the answer in his heart.
Even smart people sometimes lose their composure when forced by circumstances.
He was afraid that Xiaohe would die.
Died in the ghost gate of childbirth.
Prince Liang felt a pang of grief in his heart and his brows drooped. Not only did he lose the manners of a father, he even lost the aura of a prince.
Cheng Nianying lowered her eyes, her voice coldly calm, "The recipe can't be false. If there is a solution, then this is the only way."
"If Jiang Shenyuan wants to use this opportunity to turn things around, he can't be fake. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he could use someone else to test the prescription."
"He repeatedly searched Fu Yi's coffin because it was his last resort. If he gave it away, and Fu Yi wasn't dead, all his efforts would be in vain."
King Liang calmed down and said, "That's right."
It was just that Jiang Shenyuan's expression was so irritating at the time that he instinctively felt that this person was not trustworthy.
But whether a person is bad or not has no necessary connection with whether what he says at the moment is true or not.
King Liang finally sighed: "At least this matter has been accomplished."
"Fu Yi... I will avenge him, don't worry. Hey, I don't mean to say that he should die. I just remember all the suffering he endured for you. I will avenge him. Sigh..."
"I didn't take good care of him... His safety was originally my responsibility..."
"I was just trying to prevent him from ever getting his hands on a weapon again, but I didn't expect him to take advantage of the situation and use poison."
"It's rare that Prince Danshuo trusts me so much, but something went wrong on my part..."
The more King Liang spoke, the more confused he became, and his mood grew worse, until he finally shut up.
It's different from the tense atmosphere here.
Jiang Shenyuan returned to the house and seemed much more relaxed and at ease.
He was in a very good mood.
Although he lost a lot of things during this period.
But if you think about it, it might not be a bad thing. He had long been tired of the old emperor's meddling. The old emperor was dead.
Fu Yi was his biggest rival, and Fu Yi also died.
Although Shaoqu Tower had been severely damaged, it was still only in his name. As long as he still had the means, he could easily train a new group of people in the future. These people would no longer receive orders from the emperor, but only from him.
What does a little physical pain matter?
Jiang Shenyuan looked down at his mutilated palm, then flattened the paper, ground the ink, picked up the pen, and began to draw lines.
The lines are sharp, gradually piecing together to form an iron palm armor.
Its finger sides are sharp blades.
When it is curled up, no blade flashes; when it is unfolded, it can take a person's life.
He will have a new palm like this.
Better than mortal flesh.
He will kill more people, he will seize power...
…
Imperial Physician Tong and Wu Xun hurried to Prince Liang's mansion.
Imperial Physician Tong was sweating profusely, and he had no time to salute King Liang: "Where is the person?"
King Liang said nothing and led them in with a sullen face.
At this time, Cheng Nianying was leaning on the edge of the bed. Fu Yi had changed his clothes and his head was resting on Cheng Nianying's knees.
Cheng Nianying didn't even raise her head, but occasionally reached out to touch the side of his neck to make sure he was still alive.
When Wu Xun saw this situation, tears immediately flowed down his face.
Imperial Physician Tong remained extremely patient. He squatted down and held Fu Yi's wrist.
King Liang hurriedly brought him a stool and handed him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Fu Yi's incident was sudden, and King Liang did not dare to let others know, so he had to do the miscellaneous work for now.
While Imperial Physician Tong was taking Fu Yi's pulse, Cheng Nianying showed the poisonous weeds she had found to Imperial Physician Tong.
"It shouldn't be so toxic." Imperial Physician Tong took a look and said.
"Mu He poisoned the incense earlier. Did Fu Yi fall victim to it?"
"I've been on guard against her for a long time." Imperial Physician Tong shook his head and frowned even more tightly.
Wu Xun recalled something: "We previously apprehended a Tianzi Pavilion assassin. After confessing, he wounded our master with a hidden weapon. The wound was treated promptly, and Imperial Physician Tong found nothing unusual. But could there be a small amount of residual poison left, and the combined effects of the attack today have caused a more severe reaction?"
Is there such a thing?
Cheng Nianying didn't know.
King Liang didn't know either.
"When was the Tianzi Pavilion killer caught?" Prince Liang couldn't help but interrupt.
Wu Xun answered honestly.
Prince Liang suddenly thought of what Cheng Nianying had said before, that Fu Yi saved her.
"They were captured to eliminate Shao Qu Lou, right?"
"Yes." Wu Xun responded.
King Liang sighed heavily and could not say anything critical.
He was more than a step late, and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father. All the sacrifices for Xiao He were borne by Fu Yi alone.
He turned to look at Imperial Physician Tong again, inevitably feeling anxious: "What's going on? Is this related to this? Can he be saved? He's still young, he can't be left with a lingering illness."
Doctor Tong's old face was already covered with wrinkles, and now it was even more wrinkled like an orange.
He busily pried open Fu Yi's eyelids to check, then looked at the blood color on his palms and the color of his gums.
After a moment, he said, "It won't be life-threatening, but I'm afraid the prince won't wake up."
King Liang's throat choked: "That's not it, that's even more fatal."
Imperial Physician Tong was silent for a moment. "The poison of the wild grass is very harmful to the brain. This is even more fatal. If the prince wakes up and his brain is damaged, that would be the most fatal."
Upon hearing the sound, Wu Xun paced back and forth in annoyance.
King Liang couldn't help but look in the direction of Cheng Nianying.
She still kept her head down, making it impossible to discern her expression.
The more she did this, the more pain King Liang felt in his chest.
Imperial Physician Tong did not dare to use medicine without authorization, especially since the patient was unconscious and could not be given medicine.
He took out a set of needles and sealed Fu Yi's acupoints first.
After enduring a long period of dead silence, Imperial Physician Tong withdrew the needle with a pale face.
Wu Xun had stopped pacing. He stood there, looking much more composed for a moment. He hurriedly asked, "Did you get the antidote for Shaoqu Tower?"
King Liang continued, "There's only an ancient recipe, and he also brought some herbs, saying they can't be found outside."
"Then ask Old Tong to check it first." Wu Xun was anxious.
Imperial Physician Tong held his waist with one hand, took the ancient prescription with the other, and used chopsticks to stir the herbs brought by Jiang Shenyuan.
"This thing is useful, nothing unusual."
Just as Cheng Nianying guessed.
King Liang and Wu Xun both breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Xun wiped his face with his hand and said through his teeth, "Even if the Prince is not here, everyone in the Prince's Mansion will follow the path previously set by the Prince and continue to support the Crown Prince."
Wu Xun paused, then added with tears in his eyes, "I will protect you and the young master."
"Crown Prince, don't... don't worry." Wu Xun choked.
Cheng Nianying's face remained expressionless as she pointed at the prescription Jiang Shenyuan had given her: "Let's boil the medicine first."
Only then did she push Fu Yi's head away from her lap and get off the bed.
Imperial Physician Tong raised his head and said, "Today, the imperial physician in Prince Liang's mansion..."
Cheng Nianying replied, "No one else came to see him. I was the only one who took his pulse."
Imperial Physician Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s no wonder they are overly cautious. The master’s physical condition must not be controlled by outsiders.
Even if we marry into the Liang Palace again, we cannot take it lightly.
Imperial Physician Tong immediately said, "Prince, please be careful."
Cheng Nianying said nothing more.
Then, with the cooperation of Prince Liang, Wu Xun and the others took Fu Yi out of Prince Liang's mansion. No matter how good Prince Liang's mansion was, it was not as safe as his own home.
It was getting late, and Cheng Nianying had to go back to the palace, so Wu Xun wanted to go with her.
Cheng Nianying's eyes swept across his uneasy expression and did not refuse.
"It's just right. I'm afraid I won't have enough manpower to kill people."
The carriage slowly drove towards the palace, carrying the prepared medicine.
Wang Yue saw Cheng Nianying coming back and asked happily, "Where did the crown prince go?"
Cheng Nianying silently distributed the medicine to them: "This is the antidote to escape from Shaoqu Tower's control. From now on, you don't have to take the medicine from Shaoqu Tower on time."
Wangyue and Xiaodong were both ecstatic at once.
Wangyue hurriedly asked, "Has the Crown Prince drunk it? Why don't I try the medicine first?"
Cheng Nianying shook her head, picked up a bowl and drank with them.
Wangyue finished drinking the medicine, closed his eyes and waited quietly: "I can't see anything for the time being."
Xiao Dong said, "We all took the medicine on time, so I don't feel anything right now." He whispered, "If I gave it to my brother, I'd definitely see the effects immediately."
After he said that, he quietly looked at Cheng Nianying's expression, hoping to give one to his brother as well.
When he saw this, Xiao Dong was stunned.
Wangyue also raised her head and looked at Cheng Nianying blankly and said, "Is it too bitter?"
The crown prince was so miserable that he shed tears.

Jiang Shenyuan stayed in Prince Liang's mansion for another two days before someone opened his door and said, "The Crown Prince wants to see you."
