"How was it, Brother Chen, Sister Nianxia? Did it suit your tastes?"
Xu Nianxia nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious. This is the best thing I've ever eaten, especially the pork tripe and chicken soup, it's so flavorful."
"It's really good. If this kind of food could be served at Yuelaike, I'm sure many people would like it."
As a businessman, Mo Zichen seemed to see nothing but money in front of him.
After finding Yan An and learning of Yan An's identity, Mo Zichen gave up the idea of opening a tavern.
"Why don't you just open a hot pot restaurant?"
Su Jingzhan picked tea leaves while making conversation.
“How could I steal my brother-in-law’s business? But if the Regent has no objection, I can open hot pot restaurants in the other three kingdoms. Anyway, all the money earned will go to An’an.”
"Oh, I feel so bad about this. Just keep going, I'll provide the materials."
Yan An could almost picture the money pouring into his account.
She will soon be a very wealthy young woman, with a fortune that rivals that of a country.
Yan An took a packet of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (I) from the laboratory and handed it to Su Jingzhan.
"This is compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (I), a relatively safe laxative containing a large amount of electrolytes. The loss of electrolytes after diarrhea is not obvious, and a large amount of gas will not be produced in the intestinal cavity. Dilute it with water and drink it. After drinking it, you can walk slowly, which will promote intestinal peristalsis."
"Later, Sister Xia, eat something light and then drink this laxative. You should feel the effects in about an incense stick's time, and it should take one to two hours to completely excrete the waste. Note that from the time you excrete the waste until tomorrow's surgery, you cannot eat or drink anything, otherwise the surgery cannot be performed."
"We understand. Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on her."
"We'll have to wait until your surgery and the scar on your face heals before we can make any further plans."
Yan An knew that Mo Zichen would definitely tell her about his ability to cure her face, but this time she did not intend to have her face treated.
Craniotomy is an extremely dangerous surgery, and there are concerns that she might not be able to withstand cosmetic skin grafts.
"I understand, I'll listen to An'an."
"Okay, we're not leaving today. We'll remove the bad stuff from your head first thing tomorrow morning."
"Then I'll go back to the palace first. There are some things I need to discuss with my brother. I'll come back early tomorrow morning."
Yan An grabbed Yue Xiyuan, "Let me go with you, I also have something to ask you."
Why would Yue Xiyuan disagree if there was someone to keep him company? Besides, Yan An's brain was quite useful. "Okay."
Yan An's consciousness flashed, and the group reappeared at Ji Ren Tang.
Yan An and the other man sat in the carriage. "You want to ask what Lu Wenyun confessed?"
"Well, we only guessed the general idea before; we didn't know the specific details."
It's all that person's fault. Yesterday, he was so engrossed in something that he forgot about the important matter.
"On the surface, the Lu Emperor is in power in the Lu Kingdom, but in reality, the Empress's faction holds great power. The Lu Emperor is nothing more than a puppet emperor. In recent years, the Lu Empress has demoted or exiled the princes in the palace, and used the princesses to win over the ministers."
"Is this something a human being should do? And what about Emperor Lu? Didn't he object at all?"
"Perhaps so, but if there is opposition even once, the next child of the Emperor Lu will suffer more."
"Once, the Empress's younger brother met Lu Wenyun and was captivated by her beauty. He insisted on taking Lu Wenyun as a concubine. Lu Wenyun's younger brother was a well-known playboy who treated human life as worthless. Lu Wenyun naturally disagreed, which is why she helped the Emperor obtain this opportunity to go on a diplomatic mission to the Yue Kingdom."
"In the Lu Kingdom, Lu Wenyun is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the country. On her way to the Yue Kingdom, Lu Liangrui attempted to take advantage of her, but Yan Shaoheng saved her."
"What? Lu Liangrui is plotting against Lu Wenyun? They are half-siblings."
It seems that none of the people in this land are normal; even ethical norms cannot restrain their lower bodies.
"After Yan Shaoheng saved Lu Wenyun, he threatened Lu Liangrui, telling him to shut up and not to have any more thoughts about Lu Wenyun."
"So Lu Liangrui was probably afraid that the Empress would find out about his plot against Lu Wenyun and punish him."
"Yes, the Empress of Lu dotes on her younger brother exceptionally, even more so than her own son. If the Empress finds out, she will certainly not let him off easily."
"Aren't all the royal family members of the Lu Kingdom perverts?"
Yan An felt sorry for Lu Wenyun, but unfortunately, she had chosen the wrong path. To achieve her own goals by hurting others was not the behavior of a gentleman.
"After Yan Shaoheng saved Lu Wenyun, he said he wanted to make a deal with her. She would seduce me, and if necessary, he would kill you. If she couldn't become the regent afterward, he could help her get away and send her to a place where the Empress of Lu could not find her."
"That's not right, what about the seven-day itch? That only started on the forty-ninth day."
"Lu Wenyun didn't even know he was poisoned, so naturally he didn't know when the poison was planted."
"That's true. How did she bring those silver needles into the capital and then into the palace?"
"The silver needles were given to her by Yan Shaoheng when no one was paying attention after they entered the palace. As for how the poison was brought into the capital and the palace, she had no idea."
"It seems that the palace guards have indeed become somewhat lax. I was lucky this time, but if it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been powerless to save the situation."
"Yes, you're right. I've already increased the number of guards in the capital and the palace."
"Don't you think that Yan Shaoheng's ability to bring these things into the capital and even the palace might be due to Yue Zhixiao's assistance?"
"This is probably the only explanation now."
"So you're going to the palace to talk to the Emperor about this?"
"There's one more thing. Have you heard about what happened the day before yesterday when Yue Zhixiao was being escorted back to the Prince Xiao's residence?"
"Yes, I know. Bai Tao and the others told me a long time ago."
The four Bai Tao sisters, especially Bai Tao, were just as gossipy as modern middle-aged women.
They could quickly find out what happened in any household in the capital, which became a source of entertainment for them after meals.
"This month, Zhixiao's secret, which he had kept hidden for so many years, was finally revealed to the public."
"The troublesome thing now is that, apart from the evidence of treason, the people now know everything else about Yue Zhixiao that we know about him. The people all want the Emperor to execute Yue Zhixiao."
