One touch and one silence

Chapter 23: Secrets of the Previous Dynasty

"Since Lord Liu Yue has this prescription, I think this is the poison that His Highness has been poisoned with!"

"No wonder I felt something was familiar and yet wrong. That's why."

"Is there any solution?"

Liu Yue didn't care about anything else, she just wanted to know whether His Highness's poison could be cured.

Doctor Xu pondered for a moment before sighing and saying, "It's difficult! But you can try. The person who kept the prescription may have the antidote."

Liu Yue took a look at Doctor Xu's expression, and seeing that he looked rather serious, she knew that this matter might be difficult.

"excuse me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liu Yue was walking on the road, thinking about this matter, which was of great importance. He was afraid that only His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the ability to find out who was behind it.

Instantly, his pace quickened a lot.

Nanzhi, who was still lying dead in the carriage, was not in a hurry at all, as if she was not the one poisoned.

It was not until Shuyue got on the carriage with porridge and a plate of snacks that Nanzhi felt hungry.

To be honest, she didn't think the poison had any effect on her.

Shuyue put the tray aside, helped Nanzhi up from the bed, and leaned her against the pillow of the carriage.

"Your Highness, you haven't eaten for a long time. I've cooked some lily porridge for you. Please try it."

Shuyue placed more than a hundred small bowls in Nanzhi's hand, and Nanzhi reached out to take them.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

After Nanzhi finished speaking, she picked up the bowl and smelled it. The aroma of rice and the fragrance of lily made her even hungrier. She picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and slowly put it into her mouth.

It had a light sweetness and was delicious, and the porridge was very sticky, the kind of porridge she loved most in her previous life.

Nanzhi finished the small bowl very quickly. Shuyue picked up the empty bowl and placed the snack on the coffee table next to Nanzhi.

"Your Highness, please try this locust flower cake. Just now, Sister Shuhua saw a locust tree on the roadside that had blossomed, so we servants picked some. Please try it."

"When we were young, we loved spring the most. Every time this time came, we would follow our brothers and climb up the trees to pick locust flowers, which were so delicious."

Nanzhi smiled, picked up a piece of locust flower cake, took a bite, and found it tasted pretty good.

It tasted very similar to the steamed Sophora japonica flowers she had eaten before, "It tastes good."

"What about calligraphy and painting?"

Nanzhi asked casually. She rarely saw calligraphy and painting not by her side.

Shuyue didn't dare to look at her master, and secretly glanced at Nanzhi. Seeing that she was just asking casually, she replied: "Sister Shuhua is going to make some soup for your Highness to nourish you."

After Shuyue finished speaking, she quickly put the tea on the coffee table, poured a cup and placed it next to it.

In the carriage, there was no other sound except Nanzhi's light chewing.

In the palace, the commander of the secret guards received Liu Yue's message and did not dare to delay, so he quickly reported the matter to His Majesty.

The emperor was handling government affairs when he saw the eunuch chief holding something and handing it to his desk.

"Your Majesty, this is the news that Lord Liu Yue sent back in a hurry."

After the steward finished speaking, he stepped aside and waited for His Majesty's orders.

The emperor was very curious about what urgent matter had happened just today.

Reaching out and slowly opening it, the emperor's face looked extremely ugly when he saw the news on the paper, and even a sense of depression echoed in the imperial study.

The emperor suppressed his anger and said, "Go, call the prince to me."

The steward didn't dare to look up at the emperor's expression. He responded with one sentence, lowered his head and walked out quickly.

"Find out for me how this thing appeared in the palace, and who has this prescription. Whoever it is, find out for me!"

After the emperor finished speaking, a man in black appeared in front of him. He was wrapped up in his entire body and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of sharp eyes were exposed.

The man in black took the paper handed over by the emperor, lowered his head to look at it, and handed it back respectfully.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

After saying this, the man disappeared in the imperial study in a flash. The emperor looked at the huge imperial study.

The expression on his face was cold and ruthless. He wanted to see who was trying to bring disaster to his world.

Then he sneered again, do you think I'm the same fool as before?

Because of a small prescription, there was no successor, internal strife broke out, it was a joke.

About two cups of tea later, the prince walked into the imperial study anxiously.

"Greetings, Father! What does your Majesty want to see me for?"

The emperor looked at the prince, whose breathing seemed unstable, and thought that the prince must have run all the way here.

There is still a thin layer of sweat on my forehead.

The emperor walked down from above and handed the paper in his hand to the prince.

The emperor's voice was chilling and murderous. "Look, what is this? Now someone is trying to harm my Great Ling Dynasty by using the same method as the previous dynasty."

It was also the first time that the prince saw his father so angry.

He took the paper from the emperor's hand and opened it. The more he looked at it, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"Where did Father get this from? Didn't we destroy the recipe and the main plants used to make this medicine?"

The emperor's eyes were full of murderous intent. One can imagine how angry he was.

"It seems that we didn't kill enough people back then. You are so ridiculous to think that you can use them to overthrow my kingdom again. I'll leave this matter to you. Investigate it thoroughly, especially Concubine Liu. I want to see who is behind her."

"Humph!"

The prince now understood where Concubine Liu got the prescription from.

But how did father know this? Could it be... ?

Before the prince could ask, he heard his father's voice.

"Immediately issue an order! Concubine Liu has abused the Seventh Prince for many years and has deprived him of his treatment. She is extremely vicious and unworthy of being a mother. She shall be deposed and banished to the cold palace."

The prince watched as his father was so angry that he directly banished Concubine Liu to the cold palace. He looked a little confused, not knowing what his father meant. Wouldn't it alert the enemy if this imperial decree came out?

"Father, will this alert the enemy?"

The emperor laughed and said, "What I want is to startle the snake. Only when the snake is startled will it make a move."

The prince understood what his father meant.

"The rest is up to you. Commander Xiao will assist you. You better pay more attention to Old Seven."

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and stopped talking. The veins on his hands were bulging and his hands were clenched into fists. One could imagine the anger in His Majesty's heart at this moment.

The prince wanted to say something else, but seeing his father's expression, he had no choice but to retreat.

"My son, please retire!"

It was not until he walked out of the door and saw the eunuch guarding the door that he gave the instructions.

"Serve father well and take good care of His Majesty."

The young eunuch quickly knelt on the ground, "Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The prince waved his hand to signal the young eunuch to get up, then turned and left.

Along the way, the prince couldn't understand why Concubine Liu could be so vicious as to use this thing on her own daughter?

Even if she didn't like him much, he was still her own child. Since ancient times, even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. Concubine Liu was simply not worthy of being a mother.
