It was not surprising that Xia Huanyu was disturbed as such an incident happened. Yun Shang thus gave a response, tidied her clothes and then walked out of the inner hall.
Standing in the hall with his hands clasped behind his back, Xia Huanyu turned around when he heard the footsteps. He glanced at Yun Shang and asked, "What happened to the Emperor?"
Biting her lips, Yun Shang nodded, "It's poison, the poison of the southern pith."
Xia Huanyu frowned and said, "It's not difficult to detoxify the poison of the southern pith. What did the imperial physicians say?"
Yun Shang fell silent.
All of a sudden, Xia Huanyu understood what she meant, "There are no medicines in the palace? Which one do you lack? "
"All," replied YUn Shang.
Xia Huanyu's eyebrows twitched, "What are you going to do with it?"
"I've sent someone out of the palace to call for Ghost Doctor. At the same time, I'll also send people to look for the three kinds of herbs in the city. If there's no such herbs in the city, then expand the search area," answered Yun Shang.
Xia Huanyu pursed his lips and stopped bothering about it. He then continued, "What about the court? If the news that the Emperor was poisoned is spread out, the court would be in chaos. What should you do with it then?"
"For the time being, I only announce to the public that his majesty has a slight chill and is not in good health. As long as we survive these two days and wait for the Emperor to recover, we will be fine," said Yun Shang. She looked calm.
"What if the Emperor's poison can't be detoxified?"
"His majesty will be fine," Yun Shang straightened her back and said, "Even if something really happens to his majesty, he has Chengye, who has to take the responsibility. As his Majesty's eldest son, he should naturally take the responsibility. I will spare no effort to make sure that the State of Xia will not be in chaos."
Hearing what Yun Shang said, Xia Huanyu took a meaningful look at her.
"The State of Xia doesn't need a person from the State of Ning to protect."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes to hide her mockery and said indifferently, "I have no intention on the State of Xia. If I want, the position of the Crown Princess of the State of Ning is within my reach."
Then she repeated, "His majesty will be fine. Please rest assured, your Former Majesty."
"That's good," Xia Huanyu replied casually, turned around and left.
After Xia Huanyu went far, Yun Shang staggered and fell into a chair.
"Your majesty!" the servant nearby exclaimed and strode forward. Yun Shang waved her hand, looking tired, "I'm fine."
Yun Shang sat there for a while and looked up, "I asked the imperial physicians to leave just now, but now send someone to bring them here. Let them Carefully check the food on the table and see where the poison was put."
Before the imperial physicians returned to the Imperial Hospital, they were called back again. The four of them looked around the table for a long time. In the end one of them said, "Your majesty, I have carefully examined the dishes on the table. I did not find the poison of the southern pith in these dishes, but I found that a few herbs that could be made into the poison which were scattered in two dishes.
They are mandarin fish and osmanthus cakes."
Yun Shang squinted, "Mandarin fish, osmanthus cakes.
Guards, imprison all the people who have come into contact with the two dishes!"
"Your Majesty..." Before the maid could say anything further, Liu Wenan, who was standing aside, said, "Your majesty, you can't."
