Although Su Xi didn't know where this woman knew these things, seeing that Zhao Ji trusted her so much, she was probably sure that what she said was right.

The chief eunuch Su Xi thought about it carefully and realized that the emperor's condition was indeed getting worse day by day.

Looking at it this way, it does fit with what the woman said.

Mingyue walked back and forth in the bedroom, actually checking if there was anything else.

There was no incense burner, no liquid food to eat every day, and even no quilt or mattress to sleep on.

Zhao Ji was also looking around the room aimlessly, mainly looking for places that could be easily poisoned.

Suddenly, Zhao Ji's eyes fell on a bouquet of flowers by the window.

"Come and see if there is any problem with this!" Zhao Ji called Mingyue over.

There was a butterfly resting on the bouquet of flowers. Zhao Ji saw that the flowers did not look withered at all.

"Are these flowers changed every day?" Zhao Ji asked the eunuch while looking at the flowers.

The chief eunuch Su Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "The flowers are indeed changed every day. The emperor likes the scent of flowers, so there is always a fresh flower in the bedroom, and the servants in the flower room also send flowers every day!"

Mingyue walked over and looked at the flower carefully, and finally nodded: "There is something on this flower, it should be the powder ground by the poisonous insect, wrapped with the fragrance of the flower, and transmitted to the emperor's body."

However, the chief eunuch Su Xi suddenly said, "But I am also in this palace every day, and Lord Zhao Ji is also in the palace every day, so how come there is no problem between the two of us?"

These words instantly woke up Zhao Ji, who didn't know what was wrong.

Zhao Ji and Mingyue looked at each other, and then they turned their gaze to the medicine jar.

This is actually not difficult to imagine. The reason why only one person out of three people got sick must be because this person was exposed to something different from the other two people.

The emperor can hardly eat now, and he only takes medicine every day.

Mingyue carefully checked the medicine residue in the medicine jar, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I think I know what the reason is."

"There is a medicinal ingredient in the medicine residue, called dragon bone. Dragon bone itself is not poisonous, but the medicinal juice boiled from dragon bone must not be taken together with the Gu insect powder."

"I guess the witchcraft that was planted on the emperor should be the day-to-day decline. The magic of this witchcraft is that it can make people decline day by day, but no reason can be found, and eventually they die in a dream."

"The emperor's current physical condition shows that he is not deeply poisoned. This witchcraft is easy to remove, but it is a bit troublesome because it requires the blood of his own flesh and blood..."

After these words were spoken, Zhao Ji and the chief eunuch were both silent for a while. The reason for their silence was very simple.

Now the emperor is bedridden, but he is poisoned by a witchcraft. The two men are smart and naturally know that the emperor is in this state only because of the people in the harem.

Only people in the harem could touch the flowers delivered from the greenhouse every day.

In the harem, there are concubines, princes and princesses.

No matter who they are, they are all close to the emperor. If they go to the prince or princess to ask for blood now, it would be equivalent to directly telling the harem that there is something fishy about the emperor's illness.

If the news spreads quickly and the person who poisoned the emperor finds out that someone is detoxifying him here, it will be even more detrimental to the emperor's health.

That person was in the dark while Zhao Ji and the others were in the light, so it was even more impossible to defend against him.

Mingyue could naturally guess the reasons that Zhao Ji and the eunuch Su Xi could think of.

Although he is simple-minded and is well protected in the cold palace, Lingxi is not ignorant of any conspiracy. Aren't those concubines in the cold palace put in there because of these dirty tricks?

People with truly dirty minds will never end up in the cold palace, or they will never allow themselves to end up in the cold palace.

Zhao Ji asked the chief eunuch Su Xi to go to the flower room to investigate who had touched the flowers.

After sending Su Xi away, Zhao Ji saw Mingyue's thoughtful look and sighed.

"Do you want to use your own blood? If you drink it like this, what's the difference between that and telling Su Xi that you are the emperor's bloodline?"

Mingyue's eyes warmed up as she was touched by what he said: "Although he didn't give birth to me or raise me, we still have this kind of relationship after all."

"And I know how important the emperor is to the country. Most importantly, I know that you and I both hope that the emperor can wake up!"

Mingyue's voice became weak at the end. In fact, the last point was the reason why Mingyue decided to use her own blood.

Zhao Ji sighed and touched Mingyue's head. Although Mingyue had a beautiful face, her mind was as innocent as a deer.

A pure heart is precious.

"Then go ahead and do it. I'll cover it for you."

Su Xi came to the greenhouse of the palace and carefully asked the servants in the greenhouse who had touched the flowers sent to the emperor's bedroom.

After combing her clothes, Suxi returned to the emperor's bedroom with a serious face.

"The servants in the flower room said that the only one who comes to the flower room every day to touch the bouquet of flowers in the emperor's palace is the third prince...but the third prince has always been filial, how could he do such a thing?"

"Although the Third Prince is a little stupid sometimes, how could such a stupid person come up with such a clever trick?"

After Su Xi told Zhao Ji the result, she was very unconvinced and even began to suspect that Mingyue had made a mistake in the examination.

Zhao Ji sneered and said, "If the Third Prince was so filial and kind every day, he probably wouldn't stare at the flowers in the greenhouse every day. Shouldn't he have been copying scriptures praying for the emperor in his own palace? How come he can come out every day now?"

"And every day, it just so happens that he only has contact with the emperor's bouquet of flowers. No matter how stupid the Third Prince is, he is still a prince after all. No prince is without ambition. Don't you think so? Su Xi?"

After saying this, Su Xi also sighed. Even if Su Xi didn't want to admit it, this matter really had something to do with the Third Prince.

"We can only make a judgment on this matter after the emperor wakes up. The most urgent task now is to wake the emperor up first and make his illness better!"

Su Xi murmured.

Zhao Ji and the others all understood the truth.

"Leave the matter of collecting blood to me. I know martial arts, so I will naturally find a way to quietly collect some blood. As for boiling the medicine, Eunuch Su Xi probably wants you to do it yourself and not let anyone else get involved, otherwise he will be worried!"

The chief eunuch Su Xi nodded quickly: "Only a natural servant can do this job well. We must not let those dirty things get mixed in! Should we continue to boil the dragon bones?"

"Go on, dragon bones are good medicinal herbs, but they are incompatible with witchcraft!" Mingyue said.
