Kunning Palace.

Chen Man didn't know what was going on outside, and she didn't know what the situation outside was like now, she was immersed in her own world, busy every day.

She grinded the selected herbs and spices one by one and made them into all kinds of incense, which she used for herself and also for Mai Dong, and asked Mai Dong to send two jars to each of the palace concubines.

The palace concubines were all happy, they had it before, and knew that the incense made by the queen was an excellent thing. Some of those incense soothe the nerves and help you sleep, some pleasant the spirit, and some relieve pain...... Not only is the effect good, but it will also make the room full of fragrance, and even the dress and sideburns will be dyed with fragrance.

Chen Man even made two incense sticks for Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming was delighted, cautious temperament, he finally secretly asked the imperial doctor to check it, the imperial doctor said that the medicinal materials and spices used in incense are refreshing, there is nothing wrong.

Emperor Qingming completely relieved himself, whether it was in the imperial study or in the Qianqing Palace, or in his study in Kunning Palace, he would light the incense that Chen Man gave him.

The incense has an excellent aroma, as long as it is made of Aman, it is good.

Emperor Qingming's good mood is obvious to all in the harem, and the emperor seems to have changed as a person.

But the good times didn't last long, and after only a few days, Emperor Qingming regained his ruthless nature, and even intensified. In the court, if the courtiers do something inappropriate, or if they make mistakes, they will be smashed on the head and bleeding at the worst, and they will be sent to prison.

Everyone didn't know why, and for a while, people were panicked.

The palace concubines all closed their doors, lest they accidentally touch the emperor's moldy head and their lives could not be saved.

Chen Man sat quietly in the bustling city at the gate of the palace, waiting for Emperor Qingming to go down.

The tall hoop chair made her body look small and weak, and the blooming flowers lined her face more and more white as paper.

She no longer had the strength to stand and wait for him.

Emperor Qingming looked at Chen Man from afar, and he watched her vitality slowly pass away, like a wisp of light smoke, which would drift away with the wind at any time.

A string in his heart has been tightened, and there is a manic violence in the noise.

Aman was already close to him, and all the beauty was within reach, but when he was about to touch it, he was far away from him. There was nothing he could do, he couldn't stop Aman's life from dying.

Emperor Qingming smiled, "A-Yao."

Chen Man held Mai Dong's hand and slowly got up, "Your Majesty."

Her blessed body movement was stopped by Emperor Qingming, "Ah Yao doesn't have to salute me. You don't have to come out and wait for me in the future, there has been nothing going on in the court recently, and I have already told the prince to let him come to prison the country."

Chen Man sighed faintly, "It's the concubines who have affected the emperor. The dignified son of heaven, how can he be confined to the harem every day."

"It's nothing, I don't care about that."

Emperor Qingming helped her to walk towards the palace, "Ah Yao, you still have to try to drink that decoction. The Imperial Doctor said that you are suffering from a severe loss of qi and blood now, and you must drink a decoction of great tonic medicine."

Chen Man replied softly, "Okay. The concubines drink."

She agreed, trying to drink the sickening potions.

But still, the decoction will all be vomited.

Drink repeatedly, vomit repeatedly.

"A-Yao, stop drinking."

"A-Yao, stop drinking."

Emperor Qingming said repeatedly, his emotions almost out of control.

Chen Man's body stiffened, and he pushed him away violently, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and the person fell suddenly like a kite with a broken string.

"A-Yao!"

Emperor Qingming took two steps forward to support her and knelt on the ground, "A-Yao!"

After a long time, Chen Man opened his eyes weakly, "Your Majesty, the concubine is about to die......

"You're not going to die." Emperor Qingming's lips trembled, and he reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Chen Man chuckled, "The concubine knows that she won't live long...... It's just a matter of one day earlier and one day later."

Confusion and uneasiness flashed across her face, "The concubine is really afraid, I don't even remember who I am, will Lord Yama accept me...... Am I going to be a lonely ghost......

Her words were like a sharp knife inserted into Emperor Qingming's heart, and he began to regret that he did not let Master Xuanzhi treat her.

If you are worried that Master Xuanzhi will leak secrets, you can set up a plan to get rid of him. No matter how strong Master Xuanzhi's martial arts are, there are always places that he can't reach.

Emperor Qingming was so remorseful, while comforting Chen Man, "Don't be afraid, I am with you. I am the true son of the dragon, and if the ghosts and gods avoid it, you will be safe."

Chen Man smiled bitterly, "The gods and Buddhas avoided it, and the concubine was a ghost at that time, so I am afraid that she will not be able to get close to the emperor's body......

As she spoke, she vomited another mouthful of blood, and the hesitation and despair in her eyes were heart-wrenching.

Emperor Qingming thought that Aman had known him for more than ten years, and he was the only one who could be trusted after waking up this time.

He never thought that his selfishness would make Aman end so miserably. He has always believed that they will grow old and be harmonious......

The reason in Emperor Qingming's heart was out of control, and the emotions of destroying everything were noisy.

"If you die, I will go with you. If you are a lonely ghost, I will accompany you to be a lonely ghost......

Chen Man was stunned and looked at him in disbelief, "Your Majesty......"

Emperor Qingming's eyes were firm, and he said solemnly, "I am the Son of Heaven, and I will accompany you if you die."

"Don't be afraid, I'll be with you all the time."

Chen Man's eyes were stained with a smile, and his heart seemed to be steady.

"Okay."

As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, her face pale.

Emperor Qingming's heart throbbed, picked her up and put her on the couch in the main hall.

Mai Dong sent someone to invite the imperial doctor, and after the imperial doctor checked the pulse, they all knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"The emperor forgives the sins, the queen can't take the decoction, and the ministers are incompetent......

There's nothing they can do, they don't have the ability to rob Hades. They also wondered, why was it okay again?

Emperor Qingming's heart was almost shattered, and an "incompetent" imperial doctor died under his sword.

Jin Wangfu.

Zhao Chengyuan went straight into Su Bai's courtyard.

Su Bai had just taken off the Imperial Forest Army's guard uniform and threw his clothes aside.

His face was not good, and he complained to Zhao Chengyuan who came in, "In the future, you still don't want to look for me for this kind of errand to enter the palace, if it weren't for the cover of King Chengjun, then Emperor Qingming would be restless, and I am afraid that my little life will be explained there!"

Thinking of the cold eyes of Emperor Qingming when he took the opportunity to approach Emperor Qingming today, Su Bai couldn't help but shudder.

Zhao Chengyuan ignored Su Bai's complaints, sat down on the upper seat and asked, "What did you find?"

In the past few days, news about Chen Man has been coming out of the palace, and Chen Man has never stepped out of Kunning Palace except for waiting for Emperor Qingming every day. The only thing she did was to distribute incense to the concubines of the palace, and even to Emperor Qingming.

And Emperor Qingming, the performance of these days has been extremely abnormal. Just like the prince said in his previous life, he was irritable and irritable, like a trapped beast.

Although it may be due to the aggravation of Chen Man's condition, it has changed so much in just a few days, he can't help but be suspicious.

He managed to get the incense used by Emperor Qingming and the palace concubine, and showed it to Su Bai - the incense used in the queen's palace was impossible to get.

Su Bai is poisonous, but he can't see anything wrong with it.

He just said suspiciously, "The incense used by Emperor Qingming has a few spices and medicinal herbs that are quite strange, but if it is inappropriate, it is not. With them, incense is indeed more effective, and the fragrance is more wonderful."

So Su Bai dressed up as a guard of the Imperial Forest Army, entered the inner palace with the cooperation of King Chengjun, and often patrolled near Kunning Palace.

Su Bai sat opposite Zhao Chengyuan, restrained his expression, and looked at Zhao Chengyuan with a straight face, "The queen is poisoning Emperor Qingming."

"To be exact, she is poisoning herself and Emperor Qingming together. This poison can make people irritable and mentally disturbed. It's been a long time, and it's no wonder that Emperor Qingming isn't crazy."

Zhao Chengyuan's heart sank and asked, "Is there a problem with the incense?"

"It's a matter of incense. Some herbs are fine when used alone, but if several are mixed together, they are poisons that destroy people's minds. The incense on the Empress's body and the incense on Emperor Qingming's body meet, and this is the effect."

Su Bai's eyes were full of admiration.

You must know that the queen is confined to Kunning Palace, and the herbs she can access are limited, and most of the herbs and spices she can come into contact with are mild, none of them are highly poisonous, and they are not fatal. But she can use the most ordinary medicinal materials to skillfully concoct invisible poisons that kill people.

Zhao Chengyuan asked, "The imperial doctor goes in and out of Kunning Palace every day, why can't he find it?"

Su Bai sneered, "Just that group of quack doctors, they can memorize a few medical books and dare to say that they are proficient in medical skills. There are thousands of medicinal herbs in the world, and they are ever-changing, and they are still far from eating them thoroughly."

Su Bai thought of the maid named Mai Dong next to the queen, and said, "The power of the queen is that she can not only poison herself and the emperor, but also keep Mai Dong, who is in the same room, from the poison. The incense sachet that Mai Dong carries on his body can be detoxified by the incense inside."

In this way, as long as Mai Dong is well, Emperor Qingming will not be easy to find out that the incense is inappropriate, and he will not be suspicious of the queen's incense.

Zhao Chengyuan also admired Chen Man's ability, after all, he hadn't thought about poisoning Emperor Qingming, but he didn't know where to start. Emperor Qingming was scheming, and the things in his mouth would definitely make the little eunuch test the poison, and he was only willing to use agarwood for incense.

The one who can poison Emperor Qingming and make him defenseless is Chen Man.

Emperor Qingming was crazy in his previous life, and I am afraid it was also the queen's handiwork.

Su Bai sighed there, "Looking at the queen's poisoning methods, no matter how I look at it, I feel that she is from the same school as me. Do you think she will be my senior sister? But the old Taoist priest never said that he still had such a talented apprentice."

"You said that the queen is fine, why did you poison Emperor Qingming? I believe that the Queen Mother poisoned Emperor Qingming, but the Queen Mother ...... It's hard to figure out."

"Hey, you speak."

Su Bai said dissatisfied, "I said it so dryly, why didn't you say a word?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "She is Chen Man, Chen Man of the Chen family in Xiangping Mansion. Chen Man has been learning Buddhism and medicine from Master Xuanzhi since he was a child, and it is not surprising that he has met the Invincible Dao Chief."

Su Bai stood up and said in shock, "Chen Man...... Duchess Dingguo?"

"Yes." Zhao Chengyuan said, "So she can't die. How she survives depends on you."

Su Bai hadn't recovered from the shock yet.

Only then did he understand why Zhao Chengyuan was so concerned about the queen's affairs. He originally thought that this was to find a breakthrough from the queen and give Emperor Qingming a fatal blow.

He even suspected for a while that the queen was instructed by Zhao Chengyuan to do this.

It turned out that it wasn't, it turned out that Zhao Chengyuan was trying to save his mother-in-law.

"This ...... This...... That bastard!"

Su Bai jumped to his feet and scolded Emperor Qingming, and suddenly his face sank, glaring at Zhao Chengyuan, "You want me to enter the palace again?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Keep an eye on the queen, don't let her have an accident. You are good at poison, you know how to heal, you are good at disguise, you are quick-witted, and you are strong in martial arts, and there is no one more suitable for this matter than you."

Su Bai snorted coldly, "Don't put a high hat on me, I'm afraid I won't live to the day when you can do it."

Zhao Chengyuan was silent, drinking tea with his eyes down.

This is dangerous, and it is not possible to rely on coercion and inducement. If Su Bai refuses to do it, then he can only go in person.

Ordinary people's disguises can't deceive Emperor Qingming's eyes at all, especially when they often appear in his sight.

Su Bai was afraid of him like this, so it was better to force him with a knife on his neck.

He snorted, "Alright, alright, I'll go." If it weren't for Princess Jin's face, I wouldn't have taken this risk."

He also has several calligraphy and paintings of Master Xuanzhi in his hand, all of which Princess Jin "inadvertently" forgot with him. In fact, Princess Jin has a lot more friends than King Jin.

He's not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do.

--

Wu Jian is here.

He went to the Dingguo Mansion but didn't find the King of Jin, and came to the Jin Palace.

He smiled and saluted Zhao Chengyuan, "Lord, the emperor just got a few good things, let the servants send them to you."

Zhao Chengyuan glanced at the group of little eunuchs who followed behind him, each holding a red lacquer tray in his hand, and the one covered under the red silk was probably some kind of rare treasure.

Behind the eunuchs were two handsome guards.

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "The imperial brother has been rewarded repeatedly, and this king is afraid that he can't afford it. You'd better take it back."

Wu Jian smiled, embarrassed, "This ...... This...... Lord Wang, if the slave takes these rewards back intact, I am afraid that the slave's life will not be saved."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Then tell me, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Wu Jian put his hands at his side, bowed down and smiled, "The prince is wise. That's the case, the emperor asked, what about the elixir...... Can the prince even one grain?"

Zhao Chengyuan already knew that Chen Man's current situation was not optimistic, and she urgently needed a pill by her side to keep her life.

Listening to Su Bai's words, the smell of medicine floating in the sky above Kunning Palace every day is clearly a perfect tonic soup. After so many years, why did she still need this kind of tonic herb?

Zhao Chengyuan pursed his lips and did not answer Wu Jian's question.

"The emperor said, if the prince has any request, just mention it, and the emperor will definitely comply with your request." Wu Jian took a step forward, gave another salute, looked up at him slightly, and said, "Lord Wang, you are a smart person...... You know how much the emperor values the queen."

Zhao Chengyuan's face sank, "Are you threatening this king?"

Wu Jian hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The slave doesn't dare!"

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "There are still two grains in this king's hand, and after one grain is evened out, the other grain cannot be given again under any circumstances."

Wu Jian was overjoyed and responded, "Yes, yes! Lord Xie feels sorry for the minions!"

Zhao Chengyuan glanced at him coldly, "Come with this king."

Wu Jian hurriedly got up, moved quickly to keep up with the King of Jin, and did not forget to turn around and tell the little eunuchs, "You wait here!"

The little eunuchs stood still, but one of the two guards raised his heels.

Ye Chang limped forward to stop him, "The prince went to the inner mansion, but not one of your guards can enter."

The guard's eyes were cold, "The emperor's order is difficult to do."

Zhao Chengyuan turned around and said, "Ye Chang, let him follow."

Ye Chang snorted coldly unconvinced, lowered his arm and let the guards pass.

He limped to the little eunuchs again, and looked at them with a cold face, "Don't reward us princes, just don't come again in the future."

The little eunuchs have never had such a cold face, but they also know that the people of the Jin Palace's mansion can't afford to offend, and they don't know how to react when they are there.

Cheng Han was kinder than Ye Chang and said to them, "Give the reward to this official, and Manager Wu will come back in a while."

He took the trays one by one and handed them to the servants behind him, and at the same time, each little eunuch had an extra heavy silver ingot in his sleeve.

The little eunuchs all follow the chief manager when they go out to do errands, and they are all overjoyed to receive such a big reward.

Cheng Han then kindly invited them to the wing room for refreshments, "Guard Ye feels sorry for his master, and it is inevitable that he will not listen to what he says, so you fathers-in-law should be more responsible, don't leak out today's events."

The little eunuchs didn't show it on their faces, but their hearts were already happy, and they would only say this if they were stupid.

They understood that the emperor was clearly coming to save the life of King Jin, and it was strange that the people in King Jin's Mansion could be happy.

Cheng Han went out with a smile again, and smiled at the guards guarding the door and refused to enter the house, "I don't know what adults call them?"

"Sang Yuan."

Ye Chang hugged his chest and looked at him, "You are Sang Yuan? I heard that the Imperial Forest Army takes the school every year, and you can get the first place, do you dare to compete with me?"

Sang Yuan had a cold face and ignored him.

"What, look down on people?"

Ye Chang

He drew his sword and stabbed at him without mercy. It seems that some of them have some resentment against the emperor.

Sang Yuan had no choice but to draw his sword to fight.

The two fought more and more fiercely, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, and unconsciously deviated the place of the fight to the back of the wing room.

Sang Yuan suddenly felt a strong wind behind him, and before he could turn back, he was slapped firmly on the back of his neck, and before he passed out, he saw a face exactly like himself, and looked at him with a smile.

Zhao Chengyuan went back to Yongxitang to take a pill, came out and handed it to Wu Jian, who was waiting outside the hospital, and said lightly, "Chief Manager Wu said to the emperor on behalf of this king, there is still a pill in the king's hand, it is not easy to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and when the princess of Jin is three months pregnant, this king will leave to return to Jinzhou."

Wu Jian carefully sneered, "Only slaves will talk to the emperor......

Zhao Chengyuan turned around and went back to Yongxi Hall.

Wu Jian and the guards behind him glanced at each other helplessly, carefully put away the porcelain vase, followed Luo Ping out of the inner courtyard, joined the people in the outer courtyard, and hurriedly left the Jin Palace.
