It's okay, it's easy to overthrow the heroine's system

Everyone quickly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this moment, Mrs. Jiang was at home worried about their safety. She was relieved to see everyone come back.

"Master, what happened?"

She quickly noticed the difference in Jiang's father's mood, so she started asking him a few questions.

"This matter is a long story..."

Father Jiang sighed and told Mother Jiang the whole story.

The more Jiang's mother listened, the uglier her expression became. Thinking about how many people almost lost their lives, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Father Jiang was still in a listless state. He kept sighing, and the complicated feelings in his heart were indescribable.

There was no choice, Jiang's mother could only take Jiang's father back to his room first, and Jiang Jingmo also returned to his own room.

When she thought back to the current situation, she felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, especially since they still didn't know what the so-called medicinal inducer was. Now they could only run around like headless flies.

Jiang Jingmo took out the recipe again, but found nothing from the old handwriting.

She sighed and put the recipe on the table.

"No clues yet?"

Shen Shuli's voice suddenly sounded, startling Jiang Jingmo.

She followed the sound to the window and saw a black cat sitting there.

"No, I've read this prescription several times and found nothing."

Jiang Jingmo nodded. The clues were now gone. The current King of Chu was still insisting that Jiang's father was plotting a rebellion, so finding the medicine was a fantasy.

"Are there no other clues in his home?"

The black cat jumped out of the window and transformed into a human form.

"No news. I guess Uncle Nan hasn't been found yet."

Shen Shuli nodded, and seeing the sad look on the girl's face, he couldn't help but say a few words of comfort.

"Don't worry about your father. With that poison, he won't dare to touch your father easily."

"I know. By the way, thank you for today."

Jiang Jingmo felt a little relieved and looked up and smiled at Shen Shuli.

"Between you and me, what's the thank you?"

Shen Shuli also smiled. He stood beside Jiang Jingmo and looked at the girl's profile quietly.

"I just think that my father will be sad for a while. He has always been loyal to the country and loves the people, but today he has suffered such an injustice. He must be very upset."

Jiang Jingmo shook his head, and his resentment towards Emperor Chu increased even more.

"From what father said, this is probably not the first time he has done such a cruel thing to his subjects. With a man like this sitting on the throne, I don't know how many years this country will last."

"Based on his despicable behavior, it's only a matter of time before the kingdom changes hands. If I calculate, he won't last more than ten years."

Shen Shuli also agreed with Jiang Jingmo's statement. Everyone saw what the King of Chu did, and the people had already had opinions about it.

He was a useless and tyrannical monarch. Even the marriage proposal from the Northern Xuan Empire two years ago was because the army he trained kept suffering defeats. In the end, the Northern Xuan cavalry had already crossed the border territory of the Holy Xuan, so he resorted to marriage proposal to negotiate peace.

"If you ask me, Shengxuan should also change its ruler. If such a person becomes the ruler, it will only make the country worse and worse."

Shen Shuli's words were sharp, but it must be said that his judgment was extremely accurate.

Today, Shengxuan is being coveted by the surrounding countries. If they join forces, Shengxuan will be divided up sooner or later.

Jiang Jingmo looked up at him and didn't quite agree with what he said. Just as she was about to say something, she received a message from Nan Qiming.

His wife found a sentence engraved on the tombstone of the ancestor in the Nan family's ancestral temple, which sounded like a secret code.

This message also successfully brought new clues. Jiang Jingmo took out a piece of paper and copied down a code word.

"Where the shadow of the parasol tree sways, the crimson color hangs on my heart."

Jiang Jingmo looked at the code word and fell into deep thought.

The sentence "where the shadow of the paulownia tree sways" is related to the Chu family, which is easy to understand. The paulownia tree attracts the phoenix to roost, and the phoenix is ​​the totem of the Chu family.

The first half of this codeword should be talking about the family where the medicine comes from. If so, the second half is naturally talking about what the medicine is.

Jiang Jingmo thought carefully, and his fingertips couldn't help but fall on the two words "crimson".

"Crimson, that is red..."

She lowered her head and muttered, completely unaware that Shen Shuli had already approached her.

All her attention was on the paper in front of her, and the strands of hair on her forehead kept falling, making her unable to help but stroke them up again and again.

Suddenly, a pair of hands gathered her hair.

Jiang Jingmo raised his eyes and met Shen Shuli's gaze.

"They're a bit of an inconvenience for you."

The man smiled at her, then looked down at the secret message, and his fingertips gently fell on the word "heart".

"Crimson hanging on the heart? Does it mean red hanging on the heart?"

Shen Shuli raised an eyebrow, thinking that this codeword was somewhat interesting.

But Jiang Jingmo suddenly realized.

“It’s my heart’s blood.”

she blurted out.

Shen Shuli looked at her, thought for a moment and nodded.

"It certainly seems so."

"Well, now we have a direction. I think as long as we get the Chu family's blood and use these herbs to make pills, Senior Brother Nanxun's condition should be able to be resolved."

After deciphering the secret code, Jiang Jingmo's brows furrowed even deeper.

"What's wrong? Do you have any concerns?"

Jiang Jingmo nodded.

"Yes, a person's heart blood must be given voluntarily, which means..."

"I guess the blood of the King of Chu can't be used. He hates us so much."

Shen Shuli understood what she meant instantly.

"You should have other candidates, right?"

"Yes, Crown Prince Chu Wenyan and Fourth Princess Chu Yao, they should be able to give us some precious blood, but I heard from father that there has been no news from them for a long time."

Jiang Jingmo's face showed a solemn expression.

"I guess they were put under house arrest. I don't know why, but I remember that they didn't seem to be favored..."

"You'll know if you go and see it?"

While Jiang Jingmo was hesitant to speak, Shen Shuli spoke again, and hearing this, Jiang Jingmo could not help but turn his head and look at him.

"You mean..."

"Correct."

Shen Shuli curled the corners of his lips.

.........

Half an hour later, Jiang Jingmo and Shen Shuli, wearing nightgown, climbed into the palace.

The night in the palace was quiet and deep, with only the occasional footsteps of patrolling guards breaking the silence.

Jiang Jingmo and Shen Shuli carefully shuttled between the palaces. Due to their unfamiliarity with the imperial palace, they could only search each palace one by one.

Soon, they reached the King of Chu's bedroom.

At this moment, Emperor Chu had slowly woken up. He regained his composure, but his expression was extremely ugly.

The imperial physician who was taking his pulse was trembling with fear, and after finishing taking his pulse, he fell to his knees with a thud.

"The humble minister is incompetent."

He knocked his head lightly on the ground, and the result became clear.

"You are useless! You are just a bunch of useless people! You can't even detoxify. Why do I keep you here!!!"
