"Director Zhang, are you sure the last ingredient is Podocarpus radix and not Podocarpus acerifolia?"
General Yan opened his eyes quickly and looked at Zhang Yuanshou, then grabbed her arm excitedly.
Dean Zhang nodded confidently. "Of course. When the other doctors and I were developing a poison for Your Majesty that could counteract the toxins in your body, we used Gnaphalium chinense. However, because Gnaphalium chinense is so toxic, we were afraid that Your Majesty would get hurt after taking it, so we chose to use Gnaphalium chinense, which can both heal and poison, as the final ingredient."
General Yan released his grip on Dean Zhang's arm and collapsed to the ground.
"Devil's radish, devil's mortar, hahahaha, devil's radish, devil's mortar!"
General Yan laughed loudly towards the sky as if he was possessed by a demon, and kept repeating the two medicinal herbs.
Through General Yan's reaction, everyone vaguely realized something and their hearts finally settled down.
They said that General Yan was loyal to His Majesty and devoted himself to protecting the country. Everything he did was good for the country and the people. How could His Majesty murder the offspring of a loyal minister like General Yan and disappoint her?
It turned out to be a misunderstanding!
"General Yan, General Yan, calm down!"
Seeing that General Yan suddenly became crazy, Dean Zhang quickly spoke up to pull her back from her madness.
"Yes, General Yan, calm down a little, but don't hurt yourself!"
"If there's any misunderstanding, talk it out. Don't keep it to yourself!"
The ministers couldn't help but speak out to persuade him.
At this time, General Yan, who had been laughing wildly, stopped laughing, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes when he closed his eyes.
She took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Yan Changxu who was lying unconscious on the wooden rack, and stroked his face with a look of remorse.
"Xu'er, it's my fault. I, I made you suffer in vain."
If General Yan really wanted to seek justice for Yan Changxu, he would never have let him travel all the way from the general's mansion to the palace when he was poisoned.
But now her so-called justice is nothing but a ridiculous misunderstanding. Yan Changxu has suffered in vain, and it is very likely that the spread of the poison will be accelerated.
General Yan stroked Yan Changxu's face with a look of heartache, and finally withdrew his hand reluctantly as if he had made some decision. Then he looked at Jiang Jingyu sitting on the dragon throne, arched his upper body, and hit his forehead heavily on the ground.
"I, ignorant of the truth, committed such a heinous act as breaking into the Imperial Palace and attempting to assassinate Your Majesty. I know my sin is grave, and I do not ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness. I can only shamelessly pray that Your Majesty can forgive the others in the General's Mansion. I am solely responsible for my actions, and all the sins must be borne by me alone!"
General Yan spoke in a loud voice, his tone full of pleading, and he was ready to take responsibility for everything.
"I beg Your Majesty to show some leniency to General Yan, considering his outstanding military achievements!"
The ministers also lifted their robes and knelt on the ground to plead for General Yan. Jiang Jinghe also knelt down with the ministers unwillingly.
Looking at the dark crowd below, Jiang Jingyu stood up from the dragon throne and walked towards the stage. Seeing this, Mingyou followed closely behind.
Jiang Jingyu walked straight to General Yan, bent down and held her arm.
"General Yan, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
General Yan raised his head in disbelief, and what came into his sight were Jiang Jingyu's clear and gentle eyes.
"Your Majesty, you, you don't blame me? I committed such a heinous act as assassinating Your Majesty. I, I..."
"Why should I blame you? I know your temper very well. You were just blinded by anger last night. Although I have never had a child, I can understand how General Yan, as a mother, felt when she saw her child's life in danger last night."
"Besides, I'm fine now, right? General Yan hasn't done me any harm. General Yan has made great military achievements in defending the Celestial Empire. I've witnessed all the glory and suffering he's endured. How could I hold onto one thing and punish General Yan?"
Jiang Jingyu interrupted General Yan and told these words slowly.
General Yan looked at Jiang Jingyu, his eyes suddenly reddened, and silence was more powerful than words at this moment.
To prevent General Yan from feeling any burden, Jiang Jingyu feigned a hint of anger, "Or does General Yan think I'm a narrow-minded, incompetent ruler who would erase all the merits of his subjects because of a single mistake?"
Jiang Jingyu understood General Yan's character well and knew what words could help General Yan change his mood at the moment.
As expected, after she said that, General Yan's originally sad mood instantly became agitated, and he quickly shook his head and waved his hands at Jiang Jingyu.
"No, no, no, I dare not. In my heart, Your Majesty has always been a wise ruler who benefits the people and stabilizes the country!"
"In that case, why don't you hurry up, General Yan?"
With Jiang Jingyu's support, General Yan finally stood up from the ground and looked at Jiang Jingyu with a complicated expression. There was guilt and self-blame in his eyes, as well as excitement and relief at being recognized by the emperor as a minister.
Jiang Jingyu looked at General Yan with gentle eyes, and then ordered: "Bring the things here."
"yes!"
The palace servant who had just been sent by Jiang Jingyu out of the side hall came to Jiang Jingyu with a finely crafted wooden box in his hand.
"Your Majesty, what you requested."
As the palace maid spoke, she opened the wooden box in her hand, and a round pill immediately caught the eyes of Jiang Jingyu and General Yan.
Ming You, who was standing behind Jiang Jingyu, had a flash of light in his eyes when he saw the pill in the palace maid's hand. He pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Give it to Chang Xu to take."
"yes."
The palace maid agreed and walked towards Yan Changxu with the pill in her hand. Seeing this, General Yan subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
"This is Wanduxiao, which can dispel any poison in the world. After Changxu takes it, he will be safe and sound."
