Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hurry, hurry up and detoxify!



Yes, there was a eunuch in Linxuan Palace.

In general, palaces required the presence of eunuchs and palace maids. Therefore, Linxuan Palace also had them.

The eunuch in Linxuan Palace was the one standing in front of He Yunxiao.

He Yunxiao had only seen this eunuch once before, when he went to Linxuan Palace so many times to buy things to please the palace maids. He never expected him to be a grandmaster.

The Great Qi Sweeping Monk belongs to this category.

“You…” He Yunxiao hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

The eunuch said, "Princess Xiaoyue is in trouble. Young master, please go and save the Qi Kingdom."

He Yunxiao was taken aback. Mengbao was still poisoned. How could they delay?

He immediately replied, "It's up to you!" (cascoo.net)

Then, without saying a word, he headed straight for Fenghua Palace.

The old eunuch of Linxuan Palace laughed at the Yan warriors by the wall, "You don't even spare the juniors of my Qi Kingdom? Do you really think my Great Qi has no one to rely on?"

...

Inside Fenghua Palace, Meng Qingqian lay on the bed, while the Empress Dowager paced anxiously around her.

"Qingqian, what happened to you? Huh? Is something wrong? I already summoned the imperial physician, why is he taking so long to arrive!"

Meng Qingqian was also extremely anxious.

He Yunxiao faced a grandmaster alone for her sake, what if, what if...

However, she didn't have to rush for long. Just two minutes after arriving at Fenghua Palace, Jian Ling came in from outside and nodded to her.

Meng Qingqian knew that He Yunxiao had safely arrived at Fenghua Palace and was waiting outside.

She had very little strength left, and could barely speak. "Mother, I'm fine. Go back to your room and wait. I'm going to take the medicine to start feigning death."

Although the "fake death plan" was discussed in advance, the Empress Dowager was unwilling to abandon her beloved daughter and leave alone at this moment.

The Empress Dowager picked up the medicine on the table. This medicine could temporarily suppress breathing and pulse, achieving the purpose of feigning death.

"Qingqian, your mother won't leave. Your mother will feed you your medicine."

Meng Qingqian: ...

"Mother, please stop making trouble..."

"Mother, this isn't just causing trouble, you're so weak..."

Meng Qingqian was furious.

This drug to induce a state of suspended animation can only be consumed after the "strange poison: White Egret" is neutralized on the body by He Yunxiao. If it's consumed now, when He Yunxiao arrives and neutralizes all the poison, the state of suspended animation will no longer be possible.

There are more than a dozen imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital, but only two or three are truly Meng Qingqian's confidants. If she doesn't drink this medicine to feign death, and the imperial physicians from the Prime Minister's side discover something is wrong, all her efforts will be in vain.

"Mother, listen to me, you go first, follow the plan..."

"Mother will not leave. Mother will stay here with you."

Meng Qingqian was speechless: If you don't leave, your precious daughter will be killed! If He Yunxiao finds you calling her "Qingqian" all the time, even if he's stupid, he'll be able to guess the identity your daughter has been hiding!

Meng Qingqian had long anticipated her mother's personality.

"Jian Ling, make your move."

The Empress Dowager asked in confusion, "Make a move? Make what move..."

Before the Empress Dowager could finish speaking, Jian Ling knocked her unconscious and sent her out of the window to the Empress Dowager's bedroom in Feng Hua Palace.

Then, Jian Ling returned, driving away the maids in the hall while letting He Yunxiao in through the hall entrance.

He Yunxiao waited anxiously outside Fenghua Palace.

Mengbao was poisoned, and not a single second could be wasted. If Jianling hadn't personally stopped him and made him wait outside, he would have rushed in long ago.

Nearly twenty minutes had passed since Mengbao was poisoned at the ceremony. If it dragged on for another ten minutes or so, Mengbao really wouldn't be able to hold on.

Just as He Yunxiao was about to rush in, Jian Ling finally came out.

"Young Master He, please go in."

He Yunxiao quickly thanked her and rushed off to find Mengbao.

Rushing to the bedside, He Yunxiao touched her hands and face, asking, "Mengbao! Mengbao, how are you feeling?"

Time was of the essence, as the imperial physician would arrive soon. Meng Qingqian had to detoxify before the physician arrived, then drink the drug to feign death. She didn't have time to inquire about He Yunxiao's hand injury, and hurriedly urged him, "Hurry, hurry up and detoxify..."

It's November now. Normally, flowers don't bloom in autumn, so there would be very few bees. But this place is different. As the palace's back garden, even in autumn, many flowers are still in full bloom. A diligent little bee flitted among the flowers, finally finding the most beautiful one there.

The pink petals are half-closed, protecting the delicate stamens inside from harm.

Bees are natural honey collectors. Although the flower is not fully open, they can already tell the quality of the nectar. For them, such quality is so exceptional that it would be no exaggeration to call it divine wine.

To show courtesy, the bee first bumps against the flower petals, exchanging feelings. After this insincere exchange, the bee stops pretending and goes straight into the flower to collect nectar.

The process of bees collecting nectar is also very interesting. They are not human; they don't have mouths and can't lick nectar. They use long, brush-like proboscis to suck up the nectar. Large bees will extend their proboscis to the very bottom of the flower, otherwise they won't be able to get the honey.

After collecting nectar, bees store it in their honey sacs, which is how honey is made.

A bee can only collect half a spoonful of nectar in its lifetime, so it is very thrifty and will not let go of every drop of nectar it can collect.

This is terrible for the flower. How can such a small plant withstand the torment of bees?

However, flowers are not people; they don't feel pain and can't cry out in pain, so it's actually not too bad for them.
