Yun Shang thought carefully and found that this kind of reason seemed ridiculous, but it was the most reasonable one. In the past, she didn't think much about it. She always thought that the empress and Lady Shu were sworn enemies, and that the feud between them might be very difficult to solve. But it never occurred to her that there would be no everlasting friend or enemy in the world, but everlasting interest.
Yun Shang felt it strange when she heard what Huai Ya said. Even if the maid named Huai Ya had drugged Xia Huanyu, lady Shu should be in the palace now, but why didn't she know about it? Liu Wenan was the one that Xia Huanyu trusted. He would never lie to others. If what lady Shu said was true, she had lost consciousness last night and woke up at the end of the bed today. How could he not hear her? The only explanation was that lady Shu had told a lie.
Did the empress and Lady Shu work together to make her admit that she had sent some medicine to the palace? Anyone who charged her with such a crime would only be punished. The empress and Lady Shu would not make a fuss about it. They were plotting something else.
Yun Shang was well prepared that she dared to come in. If she wanted, she could make the so-called evidence of the gold hairpin without any use. But if the empress and Lady Shu still had other filthy ideas, it was not wise for her to show her trump card now.
With this in mind, Yun Shang said gently, "I think the hairpin must have been taken away by someone who knocked into me outside the Wei Yang Palace."
The empress frowned and sighed. "But even if you don't have that gold hairpin, that doesn't mean the maid is lying."
She hesitated before she continued, "the maid said the medicine was put in the hairpin. Why not call for an imperial physician to check if there was any trace of medicine in the hairpin. Is it the same with the one that was put on the emperor's tea cup?"
Yun Shang slightly moved aside her eyelids and thought, 'the medicine has been drugged for such a long time. Why didn't the empress call for a physician to check what kind of medicine it is? Why does the empress mention it at this time? Is there something wrong with the medicine?'?
Xia Huanyu nodded without saying anything. He just glanced at Yun Shang casually. Yun Shang kept silent for a while and knew what had happened.
The imperial physician came very quickly. Several people came too fast to tell Yun Shang that the imperial physician was standing outside the Shuya Palace and waiting for the call at any time.
The imperial physician took the hairpin and removed the flower frame. Carefully looking at the hollowed out parts, he put a piece of paper on the table, and took out a silver needle to scratch the hairpin. The silver needle didn't change color. Instead, some white power fell from the hairpin to the paper.
The physician immediately picked up the piece of paper, and studied it for a while. After sniffing it and checking its color, he finally asked Xia Huanyu about the symptoms of taking medicine. Then the emperor continued his discussion. After a long while, the emperor stood up, and knelt down before emperor Xia with some hesitation. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this medicine is called the Hanshi Drug," he said.
