Tianyi replied, "Your Majesty, my medicine is for human consumption; why waste it on animals?"
Whether it's medicine or poison, he always tested the medicines he concocted on humans. Why would he bother testing such a precious and rare medicine as the Immortal Elixir on animals?
"So, based on your assumption, will the dog die?" Empress Sun asked again.
Tianyi thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be. The poison of this drug won't kill you unless it accumulates to a certain level. At most, you'll become lethargic after being overly excited."
"Tianyi, that dog will be dead in three days, whether it survives or not. You do what you need to do."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Tianyi will keep his promise to you, and please remember your promise to Tianyi."
"I will have a way to get you out of prison when the time comes, and 100,000 taels of gold will be sent out of the city with you."
"Tianyi thanks Your Majesty in advance."

Yun Hao was confined to his residence and forbidden from going out, but Emperor Kangwen did not forbid others from visiting the prince's residence.
After receiving Yun Hao's message, Su Ruojin arrived at the prince's residence.
"I've done as you instructed and given the puppy the elixir. Will the puppy really die in three days?" Yun Hao was no longer as composed as he had been in the Imperial Study when facing Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin asked him to do this, and he wasn't sure what to do.
"No, the dog won't die. Not only will it not die, I can bring it back to life, full of energy."
Yun Hao was taken aback. If the dog didn't die, wouldn't that prove that Master Tianyi's immortal pill wasn't poisoned?
What exactly is Su Ruojin planning to do?
"When the time comes, you'll find a way to bring me into the palace..." Su Ruojin lowered her voice and told Yun Hao about her plan.
Yun Hao's pupils widened, he never expected that Su Ruojin would set up such a trap.
Is this really something a young woman from a secluded family could think of?
Senior Brother Xiao, where did you find such a fairy-like woman!
"Second Prince, three days is enough time for you to make arrangements. I don't know exactly what your backup plan is, but you should start preparing."
"good!"
Three days is enough time for her to get things done.
After leaving the Second Prince's residence, Su Ruojin instructed, "Go to General Xing's residence."
Upon arriving at General Xing's residence, Xing Yue came out to greet her and took Su Ruojin's arm, saying, "The sun must have risen in the west today, you actually came to see me."
Since Xing Yue helped Su Ruojin find Qin Niang last time, the two have become much closer. Xing Yue even went to the Zhao family to see Su Ruojin a few times afterward.
As for whether her true intentions lay elsewhere, Su Ruojin was happy to pretend not to know.
"I didn't come to see you, I came to see General Xing," Su Ruojin said with a smile.
"Look at my dad? My dad's a rough old man, what's there to see?" Xing Yue muttered.
"Ah Yue, if your father hears this, you'll be punished again." Madam Xing also came out and happened to hear Xing Yue complaining about her father.
"I'm not afraid. My dad will only punish me by making me do horse stance. I'm used to it." Xing Yue said nonchalantly.
"You, you're not like a girl at all. Who would dare to marry you in the future?" Madam Xing said with a laugh and a scolding.
"Who says women have to get married? Can't I not get married? I'll go to the battlefield with my father every day to protect the people of Yunqi."
"Greetings, Princess. I apologize for making you laugh." Madam Xing bowed to Su Ruojin, but Su Ruojin stopped her.
“Mrs. Xing, A-Yue and I are friends. You can call me Xiao Jin.”
“That’s right, Mother. Xiao Jin is my friend. There’s no need for so much formality between friends,” Xing Yue chimed in.
"You're so good at talking." Madam Xing reached out and gently tapped her daughter's forehead.
"Mother, where is Father? I'll take Xiaojin there."
Despite the playful banter, Xing Yue knew perfectly well that Xiao Jin wouldn't come looking for her father for no reason.
