He Yunxiao did not stop Lin Xiao Taiyi's actions, because no matter how potent the poison she used, it would be futile in the face of Mengbao's "rogue anti-poisoning skills".
After Physician Lin used the poison needle, He Yunxiao quickly used the "misfortune and fortune are interdependent" technique to check the level of toxins in Mengbao's body.
You won't believe it until you see it!
This tiny silver needle contains more than a dozen different toxins!
With more than a dozen toxins acting up at once, most people wouldn't even survive the process of getting the medicine, let alone take it.
In just three to five minutes, or even the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, he would die.
Now that the pulse diagnosis was complete, He Yunxiao, concerned for Mengbao's safety, quickly sent a telepathic message to Jian Ling: "Jian Ling, get everyone out of here. I need to help Xiaoyue detoxify. You stay outside and guard the area; don't let anyone in."
Jian Ling: Okay.
Jian Ling coldly addressed the assembled ministers, "His Highness cherished peace and quiet during his lifetime; please refrain from disturbing him further."
Everyone present was a cunning old fox; though they feigned sorrow, they were secretly overjoyed.
Some people were happy that the "fake death" plan was successfully implemented, some were happy that the "relatives of the empress dowager" had finally died, some were happy because the "assassination was successful," and some were happy because the "antidote could be found"...
In short, everyone was happy.

Seimo-gyu Palace is a palace near Nagaga-gyu Palace. It used to be a grand and bustling place, but now it has become deserted due to years of being uninhabited.
In the courtyard of Chengmao Palace, there is a large willow tree. Although it is unknown what the original palace master intended for it, the willow tree is here nonetheless.
By November, the willow branches were no longer tender green; yellow leaves were scattered everywhere, leaving only long, lonely willow twigs hanging down. Whenever a strong wind blew, these long willow twigs would be blown about, waving and slapping against the cork window frames of the nearby houses, making a continuous "pat-pat" sound.
Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, it all depends on the wind and the willow branches; as for the pretty cork window frames, all they do is make noise.
Sometimes in the early morning and midday, leisurely birds would perch on the willow trees. Their melodious calls would rise along with the willow branches slapping against the cork window frames.
Music is a language that all animals can understand.
When the noise is intense, the birds' calls are loud and high-pitched; when it's gentle, their calls are soft and weak. But they always keep calling. This is the tacit understanding between heaven and earth in Chengmao Palace.
Chengmao Palace had been uninhabited for a long time, and the willow branches and window frames were inseparable soulmates. Over time, day and night, through repeated wear and tear, the window frames were dented and eventually took the shape of willow branches.
...
Jian Ling stood at the entrance of Feng Hua Palace, the palace where Meng Qingqian was temporarily staying, about 36 feet away from the door. This distance was quiet, comfortable, and just right, without any restlessness.
The other guards stood even further away, all looking completely bewildered. They still believed that keeping their distance was a sign of respect for the "deceased."
It is indeed a sign of respect, but not for the dead, but for the movement of life.

Meng Qingqian is now increasingly fond of He Yunxiao.
She used to be quite resistant to physical contact with He Yunxiao, but now she desperately wants to get close to him.
He's still as stubborn as ever.
"Is Mengbao feeling better?" He Yunxiao asked considerately.
Meng Qingqian nestled comfortably in his arms, stubbornly saying, "So-so."
He Yunxiao feigned surprise and deliberately asked, "Huh? The poison hasn't been completely neutralized yet? Do we need to do it again?"
At this point, Meng Qingqian finally understood the double meaning of He Yunxiao's words, "feeling comfortable," and blushed deeply again.
Her face would turn red, and she would unconsciously touch the bell on her chest.
The bell controlling the Soul Eater Pill was stuffed with strips of cloth. The bell wouldn't ring unless the cloth was removed; it was just an ornament.
He Yunxiao often saw Mengbao touching her bell, but he didn't know why she did it.
"Mengbao, let me see the bell."
"No! Ah! No!"
The bell was now in He Yunxiao's hand, free from Meng Qingqian's control. Without this "stabilizing force," Meng Qingqian's defenses against He Yunxiao completely crumbled on the spot.
After their relationship became closer, her "shyness" was somewhat relieved, but that relief was only due to the bell. Once the bell was gone, her true nature was immediately revealed.
Without any extra movements, simply being in He Yunxiao's arms, her face flushed red, and her whole body was burning hot, as if she had a high fever.
This really gave He Yunxiao a big fright.
"Mengbao?"
Meng Qingqian's eyes were brimming with tears; she was so ashamed she was about to cry.
"You...you're bad..."
"Here you go, here you go, I'm returning the bell to you." To prevent the situation from worsening, He Yunxiao quickly returned the bell to Mengbao.
After receiving the bell, Meng Qingqian felt at ease, and her emotions gradually returned to normal.
The first thing she did was glare at He Yunxiao!
In the past, He Yunxiao would have definitely stared into Mengbao's eyes, but now he felt guilty, so he said ingratiatingly, "Mengbao, I was wrong, it wasn't on purpose. I didn't know you would react so strongly."
"Hmph." Meng Qingqian let out a triumphant sound.
This time she was "dead," no longer needing to handle state affairs or read memorials. After years of hard work, she finally got a brief rest and could embrace her lover without any worries.
