"Su Qianmian, what are you standing there for?" the emperor snorted coldly.

Su Qianmian finally came to his senses and immediately came over to pay his respects: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune."

"Stand up, I summoned you here because there is something I need you to investigate. Someone has poisoned the ointments of the concubines in the harem, and has harmed many of them.

I order you to find out the result as soon as possible. No matter who is behind it, they will be severely punished. I will never tolerate anyone who dares to poison my harem!" the emperor roared.

"Yes, I will do my best. Your Majesty, can you let me see the poison?" Su Qianmian asked.

Ye Xingchen reacted, quickly walked over to pick up the ointment on the ground, and gave it to Su Qianmian.

"This eunuch said, this is it."

"Thank you." Su Qianmian reached out to take it, and coincidentally his fingers touched Ye Xingchen's fingers.

The two men were slightly stunned, and Ye Xingchen glanced at him.

When their eyes met, an inexplicable sense of familiarity passed through Su Qianmian's heart.

Before he could figure it out, Ye Xingchen had already withdrawn his hand: "You're welcome."

Su Qianmian put away his emotions and looked calm. He opened the lid of the ointment, looked at the texture, and smelled it.

"Did you see anything?" Ye Xingchen asked.

"First of all, we need to find out whether this ointment is produced by the Imperial Hospital or brought from outside the palace. Musk is in the Imperial Hospital, so I have to go to the Imperial Hospital to check first! As for the blood glutinous rice flower, it should be outside the palace. I am still going outside the palace to find out the source of this flower." Su Qianmian replied.

"Actually, I seem to have seen this flower before." Ye Xingchen said.

"Where?" Su Qianmian asked immediately.

"I think I was on the way from Beijing to Baoen Temple, passing by a small village behind the mountain, I think it was called Lijiazhuang. At that time, I saw a field of bright red flowers, and I wanted to pick a few for fun.

The maid told me that it was called blood glutinous flower, and touching it would cause skin ulcers. This was told to her by an old man in her hometown. "Ye Xingchen explained.

The emperor's eyes became sharp: "Ye Xingchen, why didn't you say anything just now?"

Ye Xingchen looked flustered: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't think of it just now. Now that Lord Su mentioned the origin of this flower, I remembered it."

The emperor's mouth twitched, he always felt that Ye Xingchen did it on purpose.

But unfortunately, he has no evidence.

Su Qianmian raised his eyebrows slightly. He naturally saw that Ye Xingchen did it on purpose, but he didn't know why she did that?

[I did it on purpose. What can you do to me, Emperor?]

[This kind of flowers are grown in Lijiazhuang, eight miles away from the eastern suburbs. Every year, people buy these red flowers at high prices, so the people grow a lot of them. ]

[But they don’t know that the person who bought it is Concubine Xuan. ]

[Empress Xuan deliberately asked the villagers to plant flowers, and she herself did not show up, so that even if Su Qianmian found out who bought the safflower, it would not be traced to Empress Xuan.]

[Even if we catch one, there are still tens of millions of people who will buy it, so if we don’t eradicate the source, it will be useless. ]

[I just don’t know if Su Qianmian has the courage to go against Concubine Xuan! ]

Ye Xingchen thought about it in his mind, but his face remained calm.

Su Qianmian's face became solemn and his brows were furrowed when he heard this.

It turned out to be Concubine Xuan, she was so vicious. But then I thought, Concubine Xuan has been the only favorite in the harem for many years, and she doesn't even take the queen seriously, which shows that her methods are extraordinary.

But how could Ye Xingchen know all this?

And the tone is quite arrogant.

If Su Qianmian had not heard her inner voice, he would not have been able to tell that Ye Xingchen was deliberately hiding his abilities and pretending to be stupid.

She knew everything but deliberately kept silent. Was it because she wanted to protect herself, or was she afraid of offending Concubine Xuan, or was she having some other purpose?

At this moment, Su Qianmian couldn't see through Ye Xingchen.

"In that case, do you know the antidote for this flower?" the emperor asked.

Xiang Guiren and Yu Ronghua also looked over immediately, full of anticipation and excitement.

Ye Xingchen thought for a while and said, "I remember that after returning from Baoen Temple, I happened to hear the two ladies say that they also saw this blood glutinous rice flower on the road.

One of the ladies said that when she and her husband were doing business, they met a mistress of a wealthy family who used this flower to deal with her concubine.

Fortunately, the concubine was smart and kept her eyes open. She found a traveling doctor and found a folk remedy to detoxify her. I can’t remember what she used to detoxify me.”

The emperor, Concubine Xiang, and Yu Ronghua all looked at her anxiously.

"What did Miss Ye use? Can you tell me?" Concubine Xiang was extremely anxious.

Ye Xingchen looked at the anxiety on the emperor's face and pretended not to remember. He asked you to plot against the regent, to deal with him, and to seize his throne. Ye Xingchen deliberately made them anxious.

"Ye Xingchen, as long as you can remember it, I will reward you handsomely!" the emperor said subconsciously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have to think about it carefully." Ye Xingchen pretended to think hard: "Oh, I remember now. The lady said to grind the Fufeng grass, add wax white, and finally add white vinegar. Yes, that's it."

The emperor was surprised and said, "Come here, send someone to the Imperial Hospital to get Fufengcao, wax white and white vinegar immediately. Also order all the imperial doctors to come to see me. I want to watch them prepare the antidote with my own eyes!" the emperor ordered.

"Yes." The guard outside the door immediately went to pass the order.

Soon all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau came, bringing with them a lot of the three kinds of medicinal herbs.

"You must use these three medicines to prepare it now. I must see the antidote today, otherwise you will all be dismissed and investigated. My Imperial Hospital will not keep useless people!" the emperor snorted angrily.

The imperial doctors were terrified and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "We, your humble servants, will do our best."

Then the imperial doctors immediately began to mix the medicine. Although Ye Xingchen did not mention the proportion, the imperial doctors immediately started to study it based on their previous experience.

After an incense stick of time, Doctor Liu looked at the last potion and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, it's done. The antidote is ready!"

The emperor was extremely delighted: "Let Madam Jing come in."

"Yes." Eunuch Wu immediately went to summon the person.

Dai Xiang Guiren and Yu Ronghua were very excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you very much."

It would be great if this antidote really worked. Then their skin would be restored and they could regain favor.

Nanny Jing is the nanny who has been with His Majesty the longest and is also His Majesty's most trusted nanny. The Emperor is naturally relieved to let her do this matter.

"Mammy, take Concubine Xiang and Yu Ronghua to try the medicine." The emperor said.

"I obey your command." Nanny Jing immediately took them to the side hall.

Everyone looked towards the side hall. The imperial doctors were very worried, fearing that the medicine would not work. The emperor also had a tense look on his face, not knowing what the result would be.

"Ah!" a scream was heard.

Everyone's heart was in their throat and they were all extremely worried.

"What's going on?" the emperor asked immediately.

Nanny Jing immediately came out of the side hall and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang said that her back was hurting and she was in great pain, so she screamed."

"Is there something wrong with the antidote?" The emperor was suspicious and immediately looked at Ye Xingchen.
