Chapter 19: Eight hundred miles in a hurry!
Along the way, Xiao Yan held Ye Youyue's hand tightly with a calm expression.
Ye Youyue, on the other hand, had a red face and looked extremely shy.
After returning to the East Palace, Xiao Yan brought Ye Youyue into the room, asked the guards to leave, and closed the door tightly.
"Tell me about Father's situation!"
Originally, Ye Youyue felt a little scared or had some expectations in her heart, but after hearing Xiao Yan's words, she felt a little disappointed.
"Your Majesty is in poor health. I won't tell you about this, but I found that there are two kinds of toxins in your body."
"One is chronic, which should be accumulated in the dragon's body over the years . If it is accumulated in the dragon's body for a long time, it will probably erupt sooner or later."
"The other kind is a strong poison that takes effect quickly. But the person who poisoned it probably didn't expect that this strong poison and the slow-acting poison would restrain each other."
"This is why the poison was not activated, causing His Majesty to fall into a coma, giving us time to treat him!"
Although Xiao Yan had expected this, he still found it somewhat unbelievable to hear the exact answer.
They are so vicious.
"How is Father's dragon body now?"
Ye Youyue thought for a moment and said, "The toxins in your body have been gathered by me and forced out of your body."
"But your Majesty's liver and kidneys are not in good condition due to years of erosion by toxins."
"But this is not a big problem. I will prescribe a few prescriptions for your majesty to recover after a period of treatment."
"Living another ten or eight years won't be a problem!"
Ye Youyue has the confidence to say this, so she is not bragging.
"only……"
Seeing Ye Youyue hesitate to speak, Xiao Yan said in a deep voice: "Just say it!"
Ye Youyue nodded and said, "But if we don't find out who poisoned you, I'm afraid we won't be so lucky next time. After all, the toxins in your Majesty's body have been expelled."
Xiao Yan nodded. He understood this principle. If there were no toxins in the body to counteract the toxins, then the new toxins would quickly erode the body's functions.
"I will investigate this matter!"
"Sande!"
Hearing someone calling him, Sande hurried in from outside.
"What do you want, Your Highness?"
Xiao Yan tapped the tabletop with his fingers out of habit, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Go and send all the people who have been serving my father to the Ministry of Punishment!"
"We must force the truth about who did this and send some clean people to serve Father!"
"In addition, Youyue has a few prescriptions, send them to the palace together. Be careful not to let the imperial physician decoct the medicine."
"We must find someone from our own family to make the medicine. It is a prescription for Father to heal his body."
"Spread the word that the three of you must be present to get the medicine at the same time to prevent what happened today from happening again. "
When Sande heard about the place called the Ministry of Punishment, he couldn't help but shudder. Once you go into that kind of place, there is basically no chance of coming out alive, and you are likely to die.
Even if he came out, he would probably be half dead. Xiao Yan's method was really cruel.
"Yes, I obey your command!"
At this time, Xiao Yan had to be cautious because there were people around him who wanted to harm him.
If I am not careful, it will not only be my cheap father who will be in trouble, but I will also be in trouble.
After Sande left, Xiao Yan reached out and pulled Ye Youyue into his arms.
He lifted her chin with his finger and said, "Today in the palace, will you say that you will be a lonely person in this life and a lonely ghost in this death?"
At this moment, Ye Youyue was so weak that she had no strength left. She could only nod her head gently and say "hmm".
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "As long as you satisfy me, becoming the Crown Princess... is not impossible!"
When Ye Youyue heard the three words "Crown Princess", no matter how calm she was, she couldn't ignore it.
So there was less resistance at the beginning, and there was more initiative and enthusiasm, and the spring scenery was bright.
The next day, the court.
"I'm sure you've all heard about what happened in the palace yesterday, so I won't repeat it."
"Poisoning the current emperor is a crime that will punish all of your clans. I will investigate this to the end."
"snort!"
Xiao Yan's eyes were fixed on Hu Zhenghe at this time, but the old thief looked calm.
It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Feeling Xiao Yan's gaze, Hu Zhenghe stood up.
"Your Highness, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, but your Majesty is in good health now, so you can take your time to investigate!"
"But shouldn't the case of Duan Tianya's private collection of the dragon robe be resolved? This is irrefutable evidence of someone's treason."
If this matter had not been mentioned, Xiao Yan would not have thought about it. Now that it was brought up, Xiao Yan naturally had to talk about it.
"The case of Duan Tianya's secret possession of the dragon robe has been closed at the Dali Temple!"
Hearing this, Hu Zhenghe was very proud. How could the case not be closed when the evidence was so conclusive?
"Duan Tianya's family was threatened, so they compromised and hid the dragon robe in his house. They have confessed everything!"
"The evil slave is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple dungeon. Considering that his family is threatened, I have already made arrangements for their family."
"But in the end, it was to frame a third-rank official in the court, so his family can be exempted from punishment."
"But we don't know who the real murderer is, so this evil slave can only be the main culprit. The evidence is irrefutable, and he will be executed tomorrow!"
"Duan Tianya was released from prison because the criminal confessed and was reinstated."
"Because he failed to discipline her strictly, he will be fined half a year's salary!"
Hearing this, Hu Zhenghe, who was already feeling smug, suddenly lost his composure.
"Your Highness, didn't you say that this case needed to be tried by three judges? Why did you end it so hastily?"
"This case still needs to be investigated by the Ministry of Justice. I ask Your Highness to think about it carefully. "
At this time Hu Zhenghe was furious.
"This bunch of rubbish, they can't even handle such a small thing. How were they found? If I had known, I would have killed them all."
Xiao Yan sneered and said, "Ministry of Justice? Still investigating?"
"Why don't you send it to your father to judge the case himself? The evidence in this case is irrefutable and does not need to be verified. I said it, if you don't agree, come and chop me up!"
Hu Zhenghe was quite helpless when he saw Han Zhe's unreasonable behavior.
"You go crazy first, you'll be in trouble later."
Hu Zhenghe was very unwilling to fail in cutting off Xiao Yan's arm, but there was nothing he could do.
"I second the motion!"
After saying that, I could only stand back.
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment . Whoever they supported at this time would be a sinner, and no one dared to stand up and speak.
"Go back and let me take care of all your servants. I don't have much time to waste on redressing your wrongdoings!"
"Now the whole country is working hard to develop. You are not wasting my time, you are wasting the country's destiny. You can't afford it!"
"Okay, that's it..."
Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, he heard anxious shouts coming from outside the hall.
"Report, urgent response from the 800-mile border, the Xiongnu are invading from the south, Youzhou has been lost!"
Hearing this, all the ministers were shocked, even Hu Zhenghe couldn't take it seriously!
But he still has his own thoughts.
"I just couldn't get the military power, so here comes the opportunity!"
