Chapter 276 Antidote
At this point, the mystery of Chen Hechuan's life experience was completely solved.
Now, in the eyes of the people, Chen Hechuan is a good boy who grew up alone without the love of his parents.
And that Concubine Hui was a vicious and evil woman.
Even King Rui was constantly cursed in secret by the people.
Some people even shouted that if Prince Rui became the crown prince, they would definitely rebel.
Although this man was immediately taken into custody by the government, he still caused a strong reaction among the crowd.
The news also quickly spread to the palace.
Concubine Hui was under close surveillance because of Jiang Xianhao's affairs. When she finally learned the news and wanted to provide guidance, she was already unable to come.
"Hello, Jiang Xian!"
Jiang Xian angrily swept everything on the table to the ground.
"I really underestimated you. You are so scheming and resourceful!"
As she spoke, she threw her head back and laughed, hatred solidified in her eyes.
"But do you think you can defeat me like this?"
"No, this time, I will let you die directly."
She screamed in anger and took out a dagger and stuck it into the table.
And there were three words written on the table.
"Hello, Jiang Xian."
******
Jingyu Palace.
Emperor Rongcheng was pacing back and forth anxiously.
"What do you mean you don't know what poison it is?"
"What do I feed you for?"
Several imperial doctors knelt on the ground with their heads trembling.
"Your Majesty, this poison is truly bizarre. I have searched numerous medical texts and have yet to find any reference to this type of poison."
As Dean Wang spoke, he quietly checked the expression of Emperor Rongcheng before continuing:
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the most urgent task now should be to investigate the cause of the Empress's poisoning and to force her to tell you... whether there is an antidote."
This was almost like asking Emperor Rongcheng to ask Concubine Hui for the antidote.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng snorted coldly despite his dissatisfaction.
Then he turned around and went towards the cold palace again.
As early as last time, he went to the cold palace and used threats and bribes on Concubine Hui, but still did not find any useful information.
Concubine Hui even knelt on the ground, saying tearfully that Jiang Xianhao's poison had nothing to do with her.
At that time, Emperor Rongcheng was worried about Jiang Xianhao's health, so he didn't have time to ask more questions. He just ordered people to guard the cold palace and then left.
This time, he rushed directly into the cold palace, grabbed Concubine Hui's neck, and slammed her against the wall.
"Where is the antidote?"
There was a hatred he had never seen before in his eyes, and a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes.
"Tell me, where is the antidote?"
"If you hand over the antidote now, I can spare your life."
Concubine Hui had her neck strangled and began to struggle violently.
Her face turned blue and she kept hitting Emperor Rongcheng's hands, but it still had no effect.
At the critical moment, she used up her last bit of strength and nodded continuously, and Emperor Rongcheng finally let her go.
She knelt on the ground, coughing violently, and raised her head after a moment.
"Your Majesty, I told you last time that the Empress's poison had nothing to do with me. How would I know where the antidote is?"
Emperor Rongcheng was unwilling to say another word to her and directly put his sword against her neck.
"Don't talk nonsense, give me the antidote, otherwise, I will kill you now."
Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to kill me?"
Emperor Rongcheng paused, then listened to Concubine Hui continue:
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten who accompanied you when you were most lost?"
"Have you forgotten who enlightened you when you were betrayed?"
Concubine Hui couldn't help laughing as she spoke.
"Your Majesty, if you kill me, will you then watch helplessly as the throne is passed to the former crown prince's child?"
If these words had been spoken before, Emperor Rongcheng might have been moved.
But now, Emperor Rongcheng was already extremely angry after learning that Jiang Xianhao had been told about Concubine Hui's past affairs. Naturally, he was immediately overwhelmed by anger.
"Then you can try."
"It's just a concubine in the cold palace and a fool. I will kill them, so what can you do?"
As he spoke, the weapon in his hand immediately went towards Concubine Hui's neck.
Seeing the murderous intent in Emperor Rongcheng's eyes, Concubine Hui didn't dare to gamble anymore and immediately shouted, "I... I'll give you the antidote!"
Emperor Rongcheng's sword stopped at the last second when it was close to her neck.
Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief, then walked tremblingly to the dressing table and searched back and forth.
However, she had no idea what kind of poison Jiang Xianhao was infected with, so how could there be an antidote?
However, in order to save her life, she had to rummage around randomly.
Finally, she found a small white porcelain bottle at the deepest part, which contained a pill that she had treasured for a long time.
She looked at the pill for a moment, and the corners of her mouth hidden in the dark curled up slightly, then she handed the pill to Emperor Rongcheng.
"This...this is the antidote."
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Emperor Rongcheng would kill her to silence her, so she quickly added:
"This antidote needs to be taken one pill daily. Only after taking it for seven days can the poison be completely eliminated."
Emperor Rongcheng frowned, impatience in his eyes.
"Don't try any tricks."
Concubine Hui quickly shook her head and said, "There is only one antidote left, but I can mix it."
Concubine Hui was trembling, but a new plan suddenly came to her mind.
"The process of refining this antidote is extremely complex. Your Majesty, please send the relevant medicinal materials daily. I will make all the antidotes and personally deliver them to Her Majesty."
Emperor Rongcheng looked at Concubine Hui kneeling on the ground and trembling. She didn't seem to be lying, so he snorted coldly and put away his sword.
"No need to send it. Just focus on making the antidote. If anything happens to her, I'll hold your son responsible."
After saying that, he immediately headed towards Jingyu Palace.
Only after Emperor Rongcheng left did Concubine Hui sit down on the ground exhausted.
She looked in the direction where Emperor Rongcheng left, with a smug smile on her face.
"Oh--"
"Antidote?"
"Jiang Xianhao, you actually want to frame me by saying you've been poisoned. Then I'll give you real poison and let you taste what it's like to be truly poisoned."
"Seven days, just seven days. If you take the medicine seven times, even a great immortal wouldn't be able to save you. By then, you'll be heartbroken and die."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Whenever Concubine Hui thought of Jiang Xianhao vomiting blood and dying, she felt happy.
She slowly stood up, wiped the stains off her clothes bit by bit, stood up straight, raised her head, and revealed her former arrogant expression.
"By then, I will be the most noble woman in Dacheng."
"Since I can't become the Queen, then I might as well take it a step up and become the Queen Mother."
"Seven days is enough."
She had already arranged everything, now all she needs is the east wind.
Now that there is no east wind, she will create one herself.
