Chapter 1672 Medicine
Nan Yan said: "He is not——"
Having said this, he paused.
Because she already understood.
As a great general and a great contributor who followed Emperor Gao to conquer the world, Lan Shiming must have been a strong man. Moreover, he passed away in the fifth year of Xingwu, which was just five years after the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty. Logically speaking, he was in his prime.
It is impossible for a healthy person in the prime of life to die just by eating a goose.
Now, after hearing about the poison called "Goose Passing Without a Trace", Nan Yan understood a little.
Even if you don't understand, Emperor Gaozu slaughtered meritorious officials one after another in the next ten or twenty years, almost killing all of them. Isn't this method enough to explain the problem?
No wonder, Zhu Feng's expression became strange from the moment Wang Baizhi started talking about the toxicity of that poison.
As the saying goes, a son hides his father’s secrets, and the truth lies in it.
For Zhu Feng, he certainly did not fully agree with some of Emperor Gao's practices, otherwise, he would not have changed Emperor Gao's national policy as soon as he ascended the throne.
But, a son should not speak of his father’s faults.
He could only cover up these things.
Looking at Zhu Feng's gloomy expression, even though he wasn't frowning, the wrinkles between his brows were faintly visible. Nan Yan knew that Zhu Feng both respected and loved Emperor Gao, but some of the Emperor's actions, especially some of the things he had done to him, were like a shadow that deeply enveloped him.
It not only shrouded his mood, but also his life.
Many of the things he does now seem to be intended to prove to the father who lives in his memory, to let him see whether he is a qualified emperor.
But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Since he ascended the throne, there have been conflicts among brothers and wars on the border. Although he was able to put an end to them one by one, the weariness in his heart was difficult for him to express to others.
And now——
The emergence of this poison seems to indicate some even more terrifying facts.
Nan Yan wanted to ask him, but looking at his expression, she couldn't open her mouth.
She could only reach out and touch his hands that were wrapped around her waist. Feeling the slight chill on the back of his hands, Nan Yan said softly, "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng's dull voice echoed behind him: "Do you want to ask me why the secret poison from the Imperial Palace appeared in this place, obtained by those bandits, and even injured Ye Zheng?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment.
Although she really wanted to ask, looking at Zhu Feng's expression, he naturally wouldn't know.
So, there is no more wasted effort.
Then Zhu Feng frowned and said solemnly, "Yes, why?"
“…”
"Why are these sand bandits so poisonous?"
“…”
"them--"
At this point, his breath became heavier.
Nan Yan turned around to look at him, and saw a gleam of light flashing in his dark and deep eyes, like a cluster of phosphorescent fire in the dead of night.
But, it was gone in a flash.
As if it had never appeared.
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time, and then he seemed to have just heard her voice. The spirit in his eyes slowly gathered, and he looked at her again. Nan Yan asked softly: "Your Majesty, this matter——"
"Let me think about this matter again," Zhu Feng interrupted her.
“…”
This time, it was Nan Yan who remained silent.
Then she said softly, "Yes."
After saying this word, she fell silent.
Zhu Feng was originally thinking about other things, but this silence seemed a little strange, so he slowly regained his composure and gently rocked the little girl in his arms.
"what's on your mind?"
"Your Majesty, before leaving the capital, Lord Heyi gave me something."
"What?"
"Three detoxification pills."
"Anti-dote pill?"
"yes."
"Why would he give you something like this?"
"At that time, I heard that Ye Zheng was injured. Although I didn't know the exact extent of his injury, I thought he must be very worried."
“…”
"Those pills were made by him when he was still cultivating. He said they could be of some use. If Ye Zheng needs them, give him one and try his luck."
"oh……?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nan Yan turned around and looked at him, saying, "I also know that medicine should not be taken carelessly, so I haven't used that thing these days. Besides, Doctor Wang has already discovered that Ye Zheng is poisoned. If he can figure out the toxicity, then there will be no problem."
“…”
"I was just thinking, if Imperial Doctor Wang...if things get complicated, I still have to tell the Emperor about this medicine."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while.
Then he said, "Bring the medicine over to me later."
"yes."
Nan Yan was about to stand up as she spoke. Just as she was about to leave, Zhu Feng said, "There's no rush now. You—you should go back and rest first. We can talk about the medicine later."
“…”
Nan Yan turned around and looked at him.
Zhu Feng said solemnly, "There are some things I need to think about for a while."
“…”
Nan Yan began to understand a little.
From the way he spoke, it seemed that he had originally made some plans, but this incident suddenly happened and he wanted to be alone.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then gently stood up from his arms.
She said softly, "Then I'll take my leave first."
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while and nodded.
Nan Yan turned and left the study, closing the door. After closing the door, the gentle smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a frown and a very solemn expression.
One hand rested on the door.
The secret poison used within the royal family...
There are some things that flicker in front of my eyes, as if they are about to appear, but they are like fireflies fluttering in the dark night, suddenly slipping away through my fingers.
Nan Yan let out a deep breath, then turned around and prepared to leave.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw Xiao Shunzi walking towards him with two heavy fur coats in his arms. When he saw Nan Yan standing at the door and about to leave, he was stunned for a moment.
He hurried over and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Nan Yan looked at the thing in his hand and asked, "What is this for?"
These big things are generally not taken out if no one uses them.
Xiao Shunzi said, "The Emperor had already instructed us to bring these over after he had asked Li Lai what he had said. They belong to the Emperor and the Empress."
"this……?"
Nan Yan reached out and gently touched the fluffy fur.
It seems that Zhu Feng originally planned to go out for a walk with him after meeting Li Lai. Such a heavy fur coat can only be used when going out.
But now——
Nan Yan looked back at the closed door again.
Then he said softly: "You go back first, and don't send this thing in."
"Can--"
"The Emperor is thinking about something now. He will scold you when he goes in."
"ah!"
