Chapter 42: Loyal Secret Guard vs. Romantic Empress (42)



Yan Changxu brought the five poisonous snakes and the palace maids quickly invited Zhang Yuanshou to come and ask her to detoxify Mingyou.

"I'll leave the detoxification to Dean Zhang."

Jiang Jingyu stood with his hands behind his back at the side of the bed, looking down at Dean Zhang in front of him.

Dean Zhang was flattered and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is all within my responsibility. I will detoxify Lord Mingyou right away!"

After Zhang Yuanshou finished speaking, he took the five poisonous snakes from the palace servant and said to Jiang Jingyu, "Your Majesty, the toxins in Lord Mingyou's body are deposited in his dantian. If you want to detoxify, you need to expose the location of your dantian."

"Someone, change Mingyou's clothes."

At a command, the palace servants came forward and untied Mingyou's robe, revealing his entire upper body.

Without the restraint of clothes, Dean Zhang immediately came to the bed with the Five Poisonous Snakes, pinched the snakes by their seven inches and pointed the snake heads at Mingyou's dantian.

Zizizizi——

After approaching Mingyou's dantian, the originally wilted five poisonous snakes suddenly spit out their tongues excitedly, smelling the deadly poison that was comparable to delicacies from mountains and seas to them.

Dean Zhang aimed the snake's head at Mingyou's dantian and pressed its tongue against it.

The sound of the five poisonous snakes absorbing the poison from Mingyou's body was heard, making everyone's scalp tingle.

As the snakes continued to spit out their tongues, the purple-black color of Mingyou's lips gradually became lighter. Dean Zhang was delighted: "Your Majesty, the five poisonous snakes have begun to suck out the toxins from Master Mingyou's body!"

Jiang Jingyu, who had been watching the changes in Mingyou's expression, took two steps forward excitedly: "Pass on my oral message, General Yan's son Yan Changxu will be rewarded handsomely!"

"yes!"

Upon learning that the king and queen had been saved, the people in the harem ran out excitedly!

Dean Zhang continued to hold the Five Poisonous Snakes to absorb the toxin from Mingyou's dantian until Mingyou's lip color completely returned to normal and the Five Poisonous Snakes retracted their tongues.

Dean Zhang handed the five poisonous snakes to the palace maid beside him, and he took Mingyou's pulse.

"Your Majesty, the poison in Lord Mingyou's body has been successfully detoxified!"

Dean Zhang was overjoyed, and his voice trembled with excitement.

She had noticed His Majesty's emotions during the days when Lord Mingyou was poisoned. Now that the poison in Lord Mingyou's body has been successfully eliminated, His Majesty can finally rest assured!

Jiang Jingyu came to the bed and touched Mingyou's face: "That's great, that's great, you're finally okay."

Thinking of something, Jiang Jingyu turned to look at Dean Zhang: "Dean Zhang, when will Mingyou wake up? Does he need to take other medicine to replenish his body?"

"In reply to your Majesty, Lord Mingyou is in good health and is not allowed to take any tonics. As for when he will wake up, it depends on his luck. But don't worry, Your Majesty, it is normal for people who have been poisoned to remain in a coma after the poison is cured."

Jiang Jingyu nodded slightly: "I understand. Dean Zhang, you have worked hard these past few days. Go down and rest."

Ever since Mingyou was poisoned, Dean Zhang was summoned to the imperial study from time to time to take Mingyou's pulse and examine his body. Sometimes, when Mingyou's condition worsened, she had to keep watch in the imperial study. These past few days have really tormented her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Dean Zhang agreed and turned to leave. The originally solemn atmosphere in the imperial study returned to normal instantly as the poison in Mingyou's body was eliminated. The imperial palace, which had been in panic for the past few days, also returned to peace.

Just when everyone was feeling relieved that the Queen would wake up soon, an uninvited guest came to the palace and went straight to the imperial study!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

A palace maid ran into the imperial study in a panic. After hearing this, Nanny Xiang glanced at Jiang Jingyu who was sitting at the desk dealing with the memorials that had piled up in the past few days, pursed her lips, and walked towards the outer hall.

"Why are you so flustered?"

"In reply to Madam, upon learning of the Second Prince's death, the Emperor, despite the guards' attempts to stop him, forcibly left Jialan Palace and is now on his way to the Imperial Palace!"

The fact that the late empress and His Majesty were not getting along with each other as mother and daughter was no secret in the imperial palace and even in the entire Celestial Empire. Everyone in the palace knew that the late empress had excluded His Majesty because of the affairs of the late emperor and had instead favored the Second Prince. Now that the late empress knew that the Second Prince had died at the hands of His Majesty, who knows what kind of fuss she would make!

Isn't it a big deal?

Nanny Xiang said in a deep voice, "I understand. Please leave."

After all, the truth cannot be hidden. Even though Jialan Palace is far away from the imperial palace, the news of Jiang Jinghe's death will still reach the ears of the late empress. What's more, Jiang Jingyu never thought of hiding this matter from the late empress from the beginning.

On the third day after Jiang Jinghe's death, the empress received the news. She ignored the guards' obstruction and the house arrest order set for her by Jiang Jingyu, and rushed directly to the palace!

Although there was a house arrest order, the guards assigned to guard the Jialan Palace did not dare to do anything to the late empress. No one could stop the late empress, and they could not put a knife to her neck.

Therefore, the moment the late empress stepped out of Jialan Palace, the guards rushed to bring the news to the palace so that His Majesty could make preparations in advance.

After the palace maid left, Nanny Xiang turned around and returned to the imperial study. His Majesty must have heard the conversation between her and the palace maid, so Nanny Xiang did not repeat it.

He said directly: "Your Majesty, let this matter be handled by this old servant."

Nanny Xiang, who had been serving Jiang Jingyu from the beginning, couldn't bear to see her get hurt again, so she took the initiative to take charge of the matter.

Jiang Jingyu, who was processing memorials, said without even raising her head: "Excuse me, Ma'am."

After all that happened before, the mother-daughter relationship between Jiang Jingyu and the late empress had basically been severed, and she was too lazy to argue over a dead person, so she acquiesced to Nanny Xiang's request.

After agreeing to the nanny, he turned around and left the imperial study again. The moment he left the imperial study, his face instantly became gloomy.

She waved to a palace maid, whispered twice in his ear, and then left the imperial study and headed towards the palace gate.

Jiang Jingyu concentrated on dealing with the memorials in her hand. Because she was worried about Mingyou's health in the past few days, she had not had time to deal with many of the memorials, and now they were all piled up together.

After finishing half of the memorial, Jiang Jingyu raised her hand and pinched the back of her sore neck. After a while, she continued to lower her head to deal with the remaining half.

Under Jiang Jingyu's rule, the Celestial Empire was peaceful and prosperous. No major events had occurred in the court recently, and the contents of the memorials were the same over and over again, but she still read through each one.

I have been sitting at the desk for two hours now, and my mouth is a little dry.

As usual, she stretched out her hand while reading the memorials. When Nanny Xiang was around, as soon as she stretched out her hand, a cup of tea would be placed in her hand the next moment.

But right now, Nanny Xiang was dealing with the matter of the late empress. Since Jiang Jingyu didn't say anything, the other palace maids kept their heads down, so naturally they didn't see her stretch out her hand.

When the tea was not in her hands for a long time, Jiang Jingyu remembered that she had asked Nanny to leave the palace.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, a tall shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, covering her entire body. Then, a cup of hot tea appeared in her hand...
