Chapter 526 Don’t Be a Cannon Fodder Valley Master 6
"My cousin was poisoned? Aunt, are you wrong?"
"My cousin is the emperor, how could he be poisoned? Who is so bold? How dare he poison the emperor? Are you trying to save your life?"
In Shouning Palace, Pei Shu was so surprised after hearing the Queen Mother's words that he couldn't close his mouth. Poisoning the emperor was regicide.
"The master of the Medicine King Valley you brought with you said that Your Majesty was poisoned. Either his medical skills are not good enough, or Your Majesty was really poisoned."
The empress dowager had a heavy expression on her face. She had only one son, the emperor. If the emperor was murdered, her position as empress dowager would be unsafe.
"Did he tell me what kind of poison my cousin was poisoned with?" Pei Shu continued to ask.
"It is said to be a poison from southern Xinjiang. The emperor has sent someone to investigate."
Pei Shu was cheered up when he heard this, "Southern Xinjiang?"
"Ye Jin has been guarding the southern border for many years. Could it be that the Ye family is trying to murder my cousin, Ye Qing'an..."
Pei Shu didn't finish his words because he was glared back at by the empress dowager.
"General Ye has guarded the southern border for many years, and his loyalty to Nan Chu is unquestionable. Don't say such things again in the future. If someone with ulterior motives hears them, they might think that I and Your Majesty cannot tolerate meritorious officials."
"Yes, thank you for your admonition, aunt. I understand now."
Pei Shu nodded his head in agreement, but he couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
Even if Ye Jin didn't poison the emperor, Ye Jin had been stationed in southern Xinjiang for many years, and he must have heard of the poison there. If that's the case...
The Emperor of Southern Chu launched a thorough investigation into the poisoning. Everyone in the harem and the court had different thoughts.
Since Yun Yi came to the palace, he has been preparing medicine for the Emperor of Nanchu in the remote Qingyun Palace.
After taking the medicine for a few days, Emperor Nanchu's complexion had obviously improved a lot, but the person who wanted to harm him had not been found yet, which made him unable to sleep or eat.
At this time, Ye Qingan rushed back to the capital. As there was no news about Jiang Qingwan for a long time, he guessed that she was probably caught, so he wanted to ask the Emperor of Nanchu to use the secret agents in Beichen to rescue Jiang Qingwan.
"General Xiaoye, do you think the royal spy is your follower? Do you know how much effort Nanchu has put into sending the spy deep into Beichen? Now you are going to expose them just because you want to find a Jianghu woman?"
Before the Emperor of Nanchu could speak, Pei Shu took the lead in refuting.
"Your Majesty, Qingwan is not an ordinary woman in the martial arts world. She is the daughter of Jiang Sheng, the owner of Heming Villa. If you can rescue her, Jiang Sheng will definitely repay your Majesty with his life."
As soon as Ye Qingan said this, Pei Shu immediately sneered disdainfully.
"Heming Villa has some influence in the martial arts world, and he and Jiang Sheng are still citizens of Nanchu. As citizens, we should share the worries of the king. Why do you say that Your Majesty has to rush to save his daughter and please him in exchange for his loyalty?"
When Pei Shu said this, Ye Qing'an's heart suddenly sank, realizing that the reason he just gave was wrong and might have the opposite effect.
Looking up, I saw that the Emperor of Nanchu had a gloomy face and anger was surging between his brows.
"Your Majesty, Master Jiang…"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yun will be here soon." At this time, Feng Cheng bowed and walked into the hall and said.
Ye Qing'an looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yun Yi walking in slowly. He made sure that he had not heard it wrongly.
Why is he here?
Didn’t they say that Yaowang Valley would not care about the affairs of the court?
Glancing at Pei Shu standing aside, Ye Qing'an guessed that when he saw Pei Shu in the inn before, he must have gone to invite Yun Yi to come to the capital.
Yun Yi glanced at Ye Qing'an. His face was still rosy, but his body was trembling slightly, which showed that he was still weak.
The young eunuch brought the bowl of medicine forward. After testing the medicine with silver needles and the young eunuch taking a bowl first, the Emperor of Nanchu finally took it.
"Ye Qing'an, I allow you to go to Beichen secretly with a few guards, but I will never use spies to help you. Get out of here." The Emperor of Nanchu said coldly.
Ye Qing'an knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so it was useless for him to say more, so he bowed and left.
When passing by Yun Yi, his eyes deepened and flickered slightly.
But Yun Yi seemed to not know him at all and didn't even give him a single glance.
"I heard that Mr. Yun treated Ye Qing'an before? Are all his injuries healed?"
Ye Qing'an had just walked to the door of the palace when he heard Pei Shu ask.
However, before he could hear Yun Yi's answer, the palace servants had already closed the palace door, blocking out all sounds from inside.
"Mr. Ye's arrow wound is not serious, but the arrow is poisonous. To detoxify it, you need a medicinal ingredient, so it is rather difficult." Yun Yi said truthfully.
Pei Shu was immediately interested when he heard this. "You mean, Ye Qing'an's poison has not been completely cured yet? What is the medicine?"
"We need the Bamboo Bone Drunk from the Beichen royal family." Yun Yi continued.
Bamboo bone drunk?
Pei Shu had never heard of that thing. He blinked twice and looked up at the Emperor of Nanchu.
The Emperor of Nanchu naturally knew what Bamboo Bone Drunk was, and sneered, "Did Jiang Qingwan go to Beichen Palace just to steal Bamboo Bone Drunk to detoxify Ye Qing'an?"
"In the end, Zhu Gu Zui failed to steal the food and got himself into trouble. Now Ye Qing'an wants me to send a spy to rescue him. Does he really treat the Nanchu spy as his personal servant?"
Yun Yi lowered his head, looked at the floor and said nothing.
Many times, the emperor would give his subjects rewards beyond the norm to demonstrate his special regard for his meritorious subjects.
But if the ministers, on the other hand, want to use the emperor's power to do things for them, and if the emperor agrees, wouldn't it be too depressing for the emperor to sit on the throne?
-
"Didn't you say that Medicine King Valley would not be involved in the gossip of the imperial court? But you went to the palace to treat His Majesty. It's not right for the Valley Master to have two standards for people and things."
Yun Yi had just returned to Qingyun Palace when a cold voice came from inside.
"So... what?"
Yun Yi waved away the eunuch following behind him, sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
I have to say, the tea in the palace is good and he likes it very much.
"Why did you ask Qingwan to go to Beichen Palace to steal the Bamboo Bones Wine?"
Ye Qing'an frowned as he looked at Yun Yi's leisurely appearance, and took two steps forward to question him.
"Bamboo bone drunkenness can be used as a medicine to cure the poison in your body. Jiang Qingwan is willing to go through fire and water for you. Her feelings are so deep and touching."
Ye Qing'an didn't believe a word of Yun Yi's words.
"Whether you believe it or not, I think even if Jiang Qingwan takes the Bamboo Bones Drunk back now, you will not let me detoxify you."
Yun Yi's lips twitched slightly, and he raised his eyelids, his eyes were cold, "I tried my best to detoxify you, but I didn't expect to make an enemy for myself. Is this the upbringing of your general's mansion?"
