Du Yunze responded and quickly turned around and left.

Not long after, Doctor Feng hurried over with a medicine box.

After careful inspection, he said with an ugly face: "Reporting to the Prince Regent, this soup has indeed been tampered with, and contains seven-day incense that can make people unconscious!"

Emperor An's expression changed drastically. If the emperor's uncle hadn't been vigilant, he might have been tricked by now.

He asked angrily: "Du Yunze, who sent this ginseng soup?"

Du Yunze quickly replied: "It's a maid beside the Queen, her name is Lu Ning!"

Emperor An remembered that the green lemon was brought into the palace from the Tang family by the queen.

He said without hesitation: "Go and catch Green Lemon!"

Not long after, Lu Ning was brought to Emperor An.

Xiao Sheng pointed to the soup bowl on the table and said, "Miss Green Lemon, the emperor rewarded you with this bowl of old ginseng soup. Thank you!"

Lu Ning's expression suddenly changed, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Prince Regent, how can I drink the old ginseng soup that the Empress made for the Emperor?"

Xiao Sheng immediately cooled his voice: "I ask you to drink it, then drink it!"

A flash of panic flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. She held the soup bowl in her hand, trembling all over.

Suddenly, her hand suddenly let go.

Just as he was about to smash the soup bowl to the ground, Xiao Sheng grabbed it in his hand.

He said sarcastically: "Since you refuse to drink it, don't you know very well that this bowl of soup has been tampered with?"

Lu Ning argued anxiously: "No, why should the regent wrongly accuse the slave? The slave just accidentally misbehaved and didn't mean to overturn it!"

Xiao Sheng said without hesitation: "Since you didn't do anything, why didn't you dare to drink it?"

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Ning's forehead, but she didn't dare to wipe it off.

After a moment of silence, she didn't hesitate anymore, stood up and slammed against the wall.

Xiao Sheng raised his foot and kicked her to the ground. He shouted in a deep voice: "Tie Shi, drag her down and torture her until she reveals who was behind the scenes!"

Tieshi dragged Green Ning away, and soon heart-piercing screams could be heard outside.

Not long after, he came back covered in blood.

He replied respectfully: "Lu Ning confessed that she was under the instruction of the old King Yan. She is not really Lu Ning. The original maid was killed by her. She peeled off her face and put it on his own face. She has been dormant in the Queen's room." Please inquire about the news from your side!"

Emperor An felt a chill run down his back. He had no idea how many spies like Lu Ning were in the harem.

He asked anxiously: "Uncle, what should we do?"

Xiao Sheng uttered a sentence with a cold look on his face: "Repay him with his own way!"

He called Tie Shi in, and after whispering a few instructions, he hurriedly packed a medicine bowl in a food box and left quickly.

At this time, in the Old Yan Prince's Mansion, Xiao Jin was carefully sorting out the roster given to him by the Old Yan Prince.

Those were the courtiers who had been secretly communicating with Prince Yan's Mansion for many years.

Some of them are in high positions, and some are just unknown people.

King Lao Yan told him to remember them all.

Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in Beijing.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Sir, the prince ordered me to bring you a midnight snack. He said that you worked too hard and needed to drink some ginseng soup to replenish your body!"

Xiao Jin had no doubt that he was there. He pressed his tired eyebrows and said, "Send it in!"

The visitor came into the house carrying a food box and brought the still steaming ginseng soup in front of him.

He raised his head and drank it without any hesitation.

After finishing the drink, he said: "It tastes really good. Is there a new cook in the house?"

The visitor lowered his head and replied: "No, perhaps the young master only found it delicious when he felt hungry!"

Xiao Jin nodded: "You go down and bring me some snacks. My stomach feels a little empty!"

The visitor casually glanced at the roster on his table, responded, turned around and left quickly.

Almost as soon as he left, Xiao Jin heard another knock on the door from outside.

He was still wondering why the snacks were brought so quickly?

He subconsciously said: "Just come in!"

Princess Wanyi walked in quickly with a food box and said, "Jin'er, my aunt has made chicken soup for you. Please try it!"

Xiao Jin looked at her strangely: "Grandpa also got through it for me. I just drank it!"

Princess Wanyi was stunned: "Grandpa? No way, what he just drank was made by me. He is discussing things with Chu Lao. How can he have the time to order someone to make ginseng soup for you?"

After a moment, she reacted suddenly and quickly urged: "Spit it out quickly, hurry up!"

Xiao Jin stretched out his hand to dig at his throat, but there was nothing but vomiting blood.

His breath gradually became unstable, and his complexion became pale and ugly.

He said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, go and invite my grandfather and Chu Lao. I have been tricked and the soup is poisonous!"

Princess Wanyi subconsciously shouted: "Come here quickly, Jin'er has fainted!"

Not long after, Old Yan Wang and Chu Lao all rushed to his study.

Chu Lao quickly stepped forward to check his pulse. He was shocked and said, "It's actually a seven-day incense?"

Old King Yan looked at him blankly: "Isn't that the poison that should be drunk by the emperor? Why was it sent to Jin'er's room? What happened?"

Chu Lao said with a complex expression: "Something happened to the dark chess piece in the palace. The emperor found out about us and sent the poison back!"

The old King Yan roared angrily: "Di An will definitely not do this. He has always been kind and honest. Only Xiao Sheng has a vicious mind and is a man who must avenge his revenge. He wants to harm Jin'er!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Chu Lao: "Hurry up and take out the antidote!"

Chulao looked at him with a pale face: "Your Majesty, I told you before that there is no antidote for this seven-day incense!"

Old King Yan was shocked: "How is that possible? Are you saying that Jin'er will never wake up again? He is the future king carefully trained by me, how can something happen to him?"

Chu Lao quickly knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, please forgive me, it's just common people who are incompetent!"

The old King Yan could not withstand the blow and fell directly to the ground with his head in his hands.

Princess Wanyi quickly stretched out her hand to support him and said, "Grandpa, Jin'er still has to rely on you to find a way. You must not fall!"

Old Yan King's eyes were full of anger, and he hissed: "Come here, pull him down and behead him on the spot!"

Princess Wanyi stopped him without hesitation: "It's absolutely impossible. Chu Lao is very skilled in medicine and poison. Although there is no antidote at the moment, maybe it can be developed in the future? Grandpa can't kill him!"

Chu Lao suddenly reacted and spoke quickly: "Your Highness the Princess is right. The common people thought of a way to revive the young master. Let the poisonous insects I cultivated enter his body and swallow up the remaining poison of the seven-day incense. He It will get better!”

Old Yan Wang stared at him fiercely: "What harm will it do to Jin'er if you do that?"

Chulao lowered his eyes with a guilty conscience and said, "The poisonous insect will stay in the young master's body forever, which will damage his lifespan!"

King Lao Yan raised his hand to hit him, but in the end he failed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, rescue Jin'er as soon as possible. If anything goes wrong, I will kill you!"

After Princess Wanyi helped him leave, Chu Lao took out a small jar from his sleeve.

He used Xiao Jin's blood to draw out the poisonous insect, and it crawled into his body along the wound.

After a long time, Xiao Jin slowly opened his eyes.

After he saw Chu Lao, he subconsciously asked: "Chu Lao, what's wrong with me?"

Chu Lao almost cried with joy: "Young Master, you finally woke up. If you continue to fall asleep, I'm afraid I will be separated from you!"

Xiao Jin coughed a few times and his face suddenly turned pale.

He struggled to speak: "Thank you, Chu Lao, for saving me, but why does my heart hurt so much? As if something is biting me?"

Chu Lao looked away with a guilty conscience. He knelt down in front of Xiao Jin and said, "This seven-day incense originally had no antidote. I thought of the method of fighting poison with poison. I put a poisonous insect into your body and let it go in and devour it." It’s residual poison, but it will do great damage to your body, because once it goes in, it will never come out again!”

Xiao Jin's face suddenly turned pale and ugly. He tightly held the brocade quilt under his tight body, his eyes full of panic.

Chu Lao sighed helplessly: "Originally, this poison was intended for the emperor. Who would have thought that something unexpected happened in the palace, and someone used it on you without your knowledge, catching the little old man off guard!"
