Chapter 135 Action
Su Fengyi’s principle of doing things is that if you can’t figure something out, just put it aside for now. After a while, maybe the answer will come out.
So Su Fengyi put aside her doubts about General Shen's message and asked Xie Xuan:
"Have you found any clues about the antidote?"
Speaking of this, Xie Xuan was a little depressed. He had no Miao ancestry and had no sensitivity to the medicinal Gu. It was really difficult for him to break the Hehuan Gu and find an antidote.
Xie Xuan put the vial of blood aside, half-knelt down and held a towel to Su Fengyi's fingertips to stop the bleeding, and replied:
"It is my incompetence. If I could find Taoist Qingfeng, maybe things would be quicker. Unfortunately, I don't know where my teacher is and there is no response from him.
I have already sent the Imperial Guards to look for him, and they will find him after some time..."
As he was speaking, Su Fengyi suddenly pushed his hand away and said:
"Xie Xuan, you go out first."
Xie Xuan looked up and saw Su Fengyi's expression, then he understood.
He put down the towel and walked towards the door, but instead of going out, he closed the study door from the inside and turned back.
Seeing that he didn't leave, Su Fengyi urged him:
"Go, why don't you go, if you don't go..."
If you don't leave now, I'm going to bite you again.
Xie Xuan took off his shirt, revealing his upper body. The deepest wound on his shoulder had already scabbed over. In addition, there was a shallow tooth mark on his left arm, which was left by Su Fengyi last night.
Xie Xuan picked up Su Fengyi, walked to the inner room of the study, and said:
"But it broke out again? The medicinal Gu cannot be suppressed by force, or it will backfire.
I am a humble person with a thick skin and flesh, and I am happy with the job."
…
Wutong received the news from Zhu Zhihui Tongzhi and came to the study to report to the princess.
Dangui, who was guarding the door, saw her and shook her head.
Wutong understood what he meant, and he turned around and went into the tea room to wait, and waited for most of the day.
Until Dangui came to her again and said to her:
"Wutong, come here, the princess is free now."
Wutong hurriedly got up and followed Dangui into the study.
Since they were all family, Su Fengyi didn't do any formal hospitality. She leaned against the head of the bed in her pajamas and asked Wutong lazily:
"What is it?"
Wutong saw Commander Xie gently stroking His Highness's back and was preparing to place a cushion on His Highness's back.
Her Highness also looked up at Commander Xie and smiled. The atmosphere between the two was charming, completely different from before she went to Jiangnan.
His Highness's face was also flushed and laziness after the love affair. Wutong thought to himself that he had come at a really bad time.
But if the matter was not urgent, Wutong would never come.
In this case, Wutong decided to make it short:
"Your Highness, Commander Zhu has sent a message that the factory manager has taken action."
Then Wutong took out a medicine bag, presented it to him, and said:
"I've asked Dr. Liao to check it out. It turned out to be mixed with saffron powder."
Xie Xuan took it, examined it carefully for a while, smelled it, and said to Su Fengyi:
"It is mixed with saffron. The amount is not large enough, so it won't work in one go. It will take effect only after taking it for more than a month."
Su Fengyi asked Wutong:
"The factory master is a cautious person. If the emperor went to see Concubine Hui every day, he would not dare to take action. But the emperor has neglected Concubine Hui recently, so the factory master can't help but want to take action?"
Wutong Road:
"That's right. The Prince of Pingliang recently presented more than a dozen foreign beauties with both good looks and talent to the emperor. They are from Nanzhao, Fusang, and Goryeo.
The emperor is obsessed with having fun with foreign beauties day and night, often having sex with several women at night, and he hasn't visited Concubine Hui for seven or eight days."
Prince Pingliang was the one who knew how to please the Emperor the best. In the past, the Emperor loved ferocious beasts, so he would think about offering auspicious signs every day. Half of the ferocious beasts in the Leopard Room were offered by Prince Pingliang.
Now that the emperor has changed his interests and lingers in the harem, Prince Pingliang immediately changed his strategy and started offering beauties to him.
As for the emperor, he really loved the child in Concubine Hui's belly from the beginning, and stayed in Zhenxia Pavilion day and night to accompany Concubine Hui.
He got up early to draw Concubine Hui's eyebrows, had lunch with her, and the imperial physician checked Concubine Hui's pulse every day. He also personally asked about her health and even fed her the pregnancy-preserving medicine himself.
At night, Concubine Hui was pregnant and could not sleep with him, but he did not leave and stayed in the Zhenxia Pavilion. The two of them covered themselves with a quilt and chatted affectionately, looking forward to everything after the child was born.
As a result, after a few days, the enthusiasm brought about by the fulfillment of his long-standing obsession gradually faded away, the novelty wore off, and the emperor came less frequently.
First, he stopped coming at night and started to summon other concubines to sleep with him. Later, he stopped eating with her and only came to see her when the imperial physician saw his patients every day.
When Prince Pingliang began to present beauties to the palace in groups, the beauties he presented were particularly skilled in many arts. The emperor tasted the sweetness and became addicted to them. Now he has completely forgotten about Concubine Hui.
After all, this is the heir to the throne that the emperor cares about. If Qiao Gui wanted to take action, he wouldn't dare to do it openly. He wouldn't dare to stop her from eating and drinking water like he did to Concubine Xuan. So he came up with this covert method.
Why did Qiao Gui attack the royal heir? Recently, Su Fengyi has figured out his motives.
Ultimately, it’s all about power.
The source of Qiao Gui's power is the emperor. A new emperor has new ministers. Qiao Gui would certainly not tolerate the growth of another power center and the imitation of others, which would threaten his position.
It is still several months before Concubine Hui gives birth. Even if the imperial physician's poisoning is exposed this time, as long as Qiao Gui does not fall, this kind of thing will only happen again and again.
Su Fengyi asked Wutong:
"Do you still have the Heartbreak Pills you made last time?"
Wutong was startled:
"Yes, there is, but the medicine I made is useless."
Wutong has an amazing talent for treating poisons.
The poison made by Wutong is like the fireworks in cannonballs. It looks grand but actually has little power. Its main feature is that it is safe, non-toxic and ineffective.
It's obviously the same recipe, but no one else can replicate it.
Su Fengyi smiled and said:
“What you want is useless, let Xue Yu deliver it to Concubine Hui.
Tell her that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Qiao Gui is still determined to steal. It is not a good idea to be on guard day and night, as there may be a mistake.
Let her make a bigger scene and tell the emperor about her pain. Let's see if he dares to let such a useless servant take care of his beloved heir."
A loyal and useful servant turned into a loyal and useless servant once and twice, but the emperor still remembered their old friendship and could not let go of Qiao Gui.
As time goes by, Qiao Gui's mistakes become bigger and bigger, and even the deepest friendship will be worn away.
Let me see how deep the relationship between the Emperor and the Factory Manager is!
After Wutong left, Su Fengyi summoned Luqing again and asked her:
"Are you still in contact with Eunuch Cui?"
This was what Su Fengyi had specifically instructed before, Lu Qing hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes. Your Highness has told me not to break off our friendship, so I naturally dare not forget it. On August 15, I even sent a gift to the Cui Mansion!
Eunuch Cui is having a hard time now, but Your Highness still misses him. He is grateful for Your Highness's kindness and even cried!"
Qiao Gui was ruthless this time. Cui Shi usually looked not very good, but he was able to hold on and not die this time. He is indeed a capable man.
Su Fengyi smiled and said:
"Then send another great gift to Eunuch Cui and tell him that jade can ward off evil spirits. If there is any injustice in the palace, maybe you can give it a try."
Lu Qing went to do his work happily. Su Fengyi stood in front of the window, looking at the storm coming outside and the dark clouds pressing down on the sky. She smiled at Xie Xuan:
"Look, the capital is about to change."
