Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

Queen Gu was helpless. She sighed, "Anle, you shouldn't be impulsive."

The imperial guards rushed to Tao Yuwei, lifted her arms and were about to leave. She shouted unwillingly, "Imperial Physician Cao, the poison is colorless and odorless, you can't smell anything."

It was her reminder that gave Cao Youliang an epiphany.

He took the residue without hesitation and put it into his mouth. After tasting a little, his face turned pale.

"Empress Dowager, there is a faint smell of blood money in the medicine residue. Blood money is a chronic poison. The person who takes the medicine will not have obvious symptoms at the beginning. As the time of taking the medicine increases, the person will feel tired, until the end, the whole body will be stiff, breathing will be difficult, and paralysis will die."

“This poison is abundant in the northern barbarians. Although it is colorless and odorless, it actually has a little bit of smell. It is difficult to detect it if you give it to most doctors.

I was able to make this judgement because when I was young, I followed my master to the northern border area.

There, the master found the blood money and even let me taste a little bit of it. After so many years, I never expected it to appear in the palace."

Everyone present was stunned by Cao Youliang's words.

As everyone knows, Cao Youliang's master is the famous Chinese doctor Shi Kangnan. This medical master had an accident when he went to the mountains to collect herbs decades ago. He encountered a mudslide and was buried alive.

"Catch this little eunuch quickly."

Queen Gu immediately ordered the Imperial Guards to arrest the man.

Tao Yuwei was even more rude at this moment, "If you don't let me go, you will be punished when His Majesty wakes up."

The royal guards quickly released her and captured the young eunuch who was kneeling behind the queen and was in charge of boiling medicine.

Empress Dowager Guo interrogated him on the spot with a stern face.

The young eunuch finally explained that the bowl of medicine was not made by him, but by a middle-aged eunuch who was in charge of cleaning the outer area of ​​Wenying Palace. Seeing him rushing back from the Imperial Hospital sweating profusely, he helped enthusiastically.

The eunuch was in charge of boiling the medicine. The young eunuch was too hot at the time, so he went to the room where the man kept the ice basin to rest. After the medicine was boiled, the young eunuch was responsible for bringing it into the Wenying Hall.

Empress Dowager Guo was furious. "Come here, seal off the entire palace and arrest the eunuch who harbored evil intentions. This little eunuch, as a servant of Wenying Palace, did not consider the interests of Your Majesty and created an opportunity for the traitor to assassinate Your Majesty. He was seriously derelict in his duty. Take him down and chop off his head."

The young eunuch in charge of making the medicine was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.

The person was quickly pulled down.

The matter was of great importance, so Empress Dowager Guo specially ordered Xiao Lichen, the commander of the Xiaoyu Guard, to lead people to capture the person behind the poisoning.

Tao Yuwei came to Emperor Jianchang and saw that he had opened his eyes. Her depressed mood suddenly improved.

"Uncle Emperor, you finally woke up. If you don't wake up, I'll stick needles in your head again."

Emperor Jianchang sat up and seeing that everyone was there, he greeted everyone with a smile.

"Is it because I scared you? I am dizzy. It is an old problem. It is not a big deal. Don't wait here. Let's go back."

Emperor Jianchang got out of bed and began to comfort Empress Dowager Guo, "It is my son who is unfilial and disturbed you, mother."

Empress Dowager Guo said a few words to Emperor Jianchang, asking him to take good care of his health, and then she left with her men.

"Well, the Queen Mother has left, you can leave now."

Tao Yuwei saw the thoughtful behavior of Emperor Jianchang and felt that this emperor was very considerate of others.

Let them go first, no need to guard him. Seeing the Queen Mother was there, he knew that if she didn't leave, it would be difficult for everyone to leave, so he kindly sent her away first.

"Uncle Emperor, I have something to tell you."

Tao Yuwei felt that for the sake of His Majesty's safety, if she discovered anything unusual and reported it as soon as possible, she would also be able to help His Majesty eliminate those who were trying to subvert the foundation of the court.

Emperor Jianchang laughed loudly, "Anle, you are more filial than my princes and princesses. Thanks to you, I didn't take the poisonous medicine."

His face was rosy and he looked much more energetic. Tao Yuwei said with confidence, "Uncle Emperor is usually very good to me. I am just trying my best to help him."

Seeing that she really had something to say to him, Emperor Jianchang ordered all the palace maids and eunuchs to leave, leaving only Empress Gu and Imperial Physician Cao.

Without anyone else around, Tao Yuwei boldly expressed her doubts.

"Uncle Emperor, the person who poisoned the medicine was very sinister. Not only did he poison the medicine, but in order to avoid being discovered, he almost killed the imperial physician Cao."

After hearing this, Cao Youliang thought of his experience and his heart trembled.

Seeing that he looked strange, Emperor Jianchang asked, "Cao Youliang, what happened?"

Cao Youliang bowed and said with lingering fear, "After your majesty's first acupuncture treatment, I wrote a prescription and went back to the Imperial Hospital with your eunuch to get the medicine. After the eunuch left, I sorted out some medicinal materials and planned to go back to Wenying Palace. When I passed by the artificial lake, my footing was unstable and I fell into the lake."

"Thanks to a patrolling guard's rescue, I did not drown in the lake."

After listening to this, Emperor Jianchang understood that a series of tricks were used against him tonight.

Poison him first to prevent Cao Youliang from diagnosing him and killing him.

After hearing the follow-up, Tao Yuwei was quite shocked.

Fortunately, she thought of this possibility, so she asked Xiao Lichen to help and sent people to protect Cao Youliang.

She also became more and more interested in the people behind the scenes.

Before, she made her judgment based on the plots she had watched.

Now, many things have changed, and she cannot be 100% sure that the people who did it are still the same people.

Queen Gu was also frightened and her expression turned ugly.

She never imagined that behind His Majesty's seemingly ordinary headache, there would be a huge conspiracy and disaster hidden.

"Tonight, thanks to Anle's persistence and hard work, otherwise, His Majesty..."

As Queen Gu spoke, tears of fear flowed down her face.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Jianchang naturally embraced his jealous wife in his arms.

"I'm fine, nothing happened, don't cry."

Tao Yuwei and Cao Youliang took the opportunity to walk out of Wenying Hall.

Your Majesty will take care of the rest.

As soon as she walked out of the palace, she took a quick look and did not see Xiao Lichen.

He should investigate the whereabouts of the person who poisoned him.

However, the male protagonist Xiao Chengyan was still waiting patiently outside the palace.

Tao Yuwei has not forgotten how this man behaved when she insisted on entering Wenying Palace.

Tonight, this man showed up unexpectedly and attended His Majesty's Thousand Years Banquet. She already knew his purpose.

When Xiao Chengyan saw her and Cao Youliang coming out together, he hurriedly came over to greet them.

"Anle, Imperial Physician Cao, is father okay?"

Tao Yuwei ignored him and walked towards her parents who were standing further away.

Xiao Chengyan's eyes were slightly cold, but when he bowed to Cao Youliang, he put away his expression.

When Cao Youliang was helped up by Xiao Chengyan himself, he knew what to say, so he simply responded with a few words, turned around and left.

Seeing their daughter coming out safely, Tao Zhihong and his wife happily went to greet her.

"Your Majesty is fine. Dad, Mom, let's go home first." As soon as they met, Tao Yuwei simply said this and walked towards the exit of the palace.

Tao Zhihong and his wife understood what their daughter had not yet said. It was simply that there were some things that were not convenient to say in the palace.

At this moment, in a side hall.

Xiao Lichen brought people to supervise the search for the middle-aged eunuch who poisoned His Majesty.
