"Your subordinate is here!"
Although Xuanyuan Zhan was now the emperor, he still loyally stood by Xuanyuan Zhan's side.
"We are asking you, have the people who went to investigate Rou Meier returned?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subordinate has come for this matter." Lei Yu then continued, "This subordinate sent someone to investigate Rou Meier's background last time but the person that went did not return. This subordinate had been feeling that something was amiss this whole time, so this subordinate sent someone to investigate. Furthermore, that Xifeng Kingdom is extremely strange. It is obvious that when you look ahead, you will only see a desert and not a single person. "
"What?" Xifeng Kingdom. " Xuanyuan Zhan said. Then he continued, "It is said that the Xifeng Kingdom has always been a mysterious place, ever since the decline of the Xifeng Kingdom a hundred years ago. Ever since then, the Xifeng Kingdom became a place out of this world in the eyes of the people. Very few people knew where the entrance to the West Wind Fruit was. "
"It seems that this matter is not as simple as we thought." Nangong Chen said.
"Also, the people that we had secretly sent to track Rou Meier have all disappeared." Lightning said.
"Looks like this matter is most likely related to the Xifeng Kingdom. It seems like this Xifeng Kingdom, which has been imprisoned for many years, is planning to cause a huge commotion."
Xuanyuan Zhan and Nangong Chen's faces darkened. They both felt that this matter wasn't as simple as they had imagined.
At the same time, in the Xiao family.
"Young master …" Xiao Mingmo consoled his by leaning over and whispering into Xiao Mingmo's ear.
"What?" Xiao Mingmo was completely shocked. "Let's go take a look."
In the cave, Xiao Mingmo opened the wooden chest, and sure enough, the thing inside was gone.
Xiao Mingmo could not help but be suspicious. The Xiao Family's defenses were so tight, it was clear that outsiders could not enter. How could he suddenly disappear, Xiao Mingmo's face turned gloomy.
"Send people to investigate immediately." Xiao Mingmo instructed.
Within the study.
Xiao Mingmo sat alone in his study, looking at the empty box in his hands, his lips curled into a smile. From the information that his subordinate had gathered, it seemed like the mastermind behind this matter had something to do with the Xifeng Kingdom's Empress. It seemed like it was time for him to go to Xifeng Kingdom.
But what Xiao Mingmo did not understand was, what did they want the Blood Bead for, wasn't the Blood Bead the property of the Xiao Kingdom, or was it something they had done intentionally.
Thinking about it, Xiao Mingmo felt that he should go to the Xifeng Kingdom to see the situation.
On the other side of the palace, after a few days of investigation, everyone discovered that all of the matters were directed towards the Xifeng Kingdom.
Xuanyuan Zhan headed straight for Feng Yu's palace early in the morning. Just as he stepped into the empress dowager's palace, he heard them say that the empress had woken up.
Xuanyuan Zhan was overjoyed, sitting on the side of Feng Yu's bed and asking questions.
"How are you feeling right now? Does it hurt? Oh, right. Are you hungry? You haven't eaten in days. If you want anything to eat, I'll immediately ask someone to cook it for you. " Xuanyuan Zhan was truly worried about Feng Yu, as he had too many things he wanted to tell Feng Yu.
"I'm fine. I'm fine." Feng Yu sat up with Xuanyuan Zhan's support.
"That's good. Tell the imperial kitchens to prepare light and nutritious meals and send it to the empress's chambers. Also, ask for Imperial Physician Xue to come over to say that the empress has already woken up." Xuanyuan Zhan then gave the order.
At this time, Feng Yu's eyes were filled with heartache, but at this time, Feng Yu was still familiar with clothes.
"What happened to me?" Although Feng Yu had said that he was fine, he could clearly feel that his body was somewhat weak. It would be difficult for him to do even a few movements.
"You've been unconscious for a long time, Xue Leng saw it for you. She said that you had been poisoned by a parasite and that this parasite must have been found in your body all along in order to extract the parasite from your body. Now that you think about it, you've been in contact with those people these past few days. Just now, I asked your palace maids and they said that Rou Meier had been here before. Other than that bowl of sugar, is there anything else that they suspect? " At this moment, Xuanyuan Zhan was extremely anxious. At this moment, he could only find the person who planted the parasite through Feng Yu.
"Rou Meier? Oh, it was a strange day. I didn't see her before, but she came back the next day with a bowl of soup and said it was to make me better. I just feel like this is a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year? We don't interact normally, why do you suddenly want to send me soup? I felt it was weird, Rou Meier did not stay in my palace any longer, so after she left, I called for my palace maids to pour the soup down. Nothing else was suspicious.
Although she didn't come into contact with the item she sent over, her action was already very suspicious. What did Xuanyuan Zhan want Feng Yu to think about other people?
After all, the harem was filled with all sorts of fish and dragons. Since Feng Yu was currently a noble queen, there were quite a few people who wanted to frame her. It was just that Xuanyuan Zhan did not think that these people were so indefensible that they could actually infect Feng Yu with a Gu worm right under her nose.
"If it's anyone else, I don't think there's anyone else who would be hungry. I've been with Dou Dou for the past few days. That's right, I remember that Venerable Shen sent a plate of pastries before you left. Coincidentally, that pastries are my favorite, I let the doctor check them out before being at ease eating them, at that time Dou Dou also ate them, so it shouldn't be a problem with the pastries. Furthermore, I think even if the Venerable Shen wanted to harm me, it wouldn't be so blatantly poisoning the pastries that I sent over right? " Although Feng Yu did not treat this Venerable Shen that well, she could not casually frame others.
"Then she didn't do anything else?" Compared to Feng Yu, Xuanyuan Zhan felt that everyone was very suspicious.
"Are you Venerable Shen? Even though she's always been against me, but ah, she's really too stupid. Every time it's that kind of trick, I just can't think of any brilliant method she would use to poison me in a situation that I don't know about. Forgive me for being blunt, but she really doesn't have that kind of intelligence. " It wasn't that Feng Yu wanted to excuse Venerable Shen, but he really didn't want to give her such a big hat.
When Xuanyuan Zhan heard these words coming out of Feng Yu's mouth, he felt that it had gained a little interest. However, Feng Yu's heart was also big, she herself was infected with the parasite yet she still had the heart to joke around with the Venerable Shen.
"Alright, alright. I know that you're intelligent. No one in this harem can match you, but other than intelligence, there are some people who would do whatever they want. Even I would find it hard to guard against them. I was too careless in letting you be poisoned this time.
Xuanyuan Zhan was still blaming himself in his heart. Even though Feng Yu tried to ease the atmosphere to a very humorous extent, she was still unable to alleviate Xuanyuan Zhan's remorse.
Right at this moment, Xue Leng came over, bowed to Xuanyuan Zhan and then opened the medicine box to take a look at Feng Yu's pulse.
"The Queen's pulse is quite stable. It seems like the medicine has worked." Suppresses the spread of toxicity. "However, we don't have much time left. This medicine won't last much longer." Xue Leng had to inform Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu of the seriousness of the situation. Let them hurry up.
"Right now, Feng Yu does not have a clue, and the people I sent did not return with the news. We can only rely on you now. " Xuanyuan Zhan patted Xue Leng's shoulders, and looked at him resolutely.
"This subject will do his best." Just as Xue Leng was about to pack his medicine, he was spotted by Feng Yu.
"Just now I saw Xue Leng packing the medicine bag. I remember that I also have an incense bag, it's... this is a gift from Venerable Shen. " Although he had ridiculed the Venerable Shen for not having an IQ, the matter that Feng Yu had slowly become aware of was not as simple as it sounded.
"Can you show it to this official?" Xue Leng suddenly became alert.
The man from the Phoenix Feather Life Palace handed the sachet over to Xue Leng.
"When he gave me this perfume bag, I didn't think too much about it, because she even said some warm words to me. I originally didn't have too much hostility towards her, and the smell of this perfume bag was also very good, so I didn't think much about it and brought it with me for a few days. Xue Leng, is there a problem with your sachet? " Feng Yu's heart rose. She really wasn't prepared for this.
"This subject is certain that the problem lies in this perfume bag." The Gu worms were placed in this perfume bag and would slowly invade the empress's body. This humble subject has a bold guess, the intention of Rou Meier sending the soup that day was not for the Queen to drink, but for the Gu worm to hear. The soup had been added with a pill to encourage the Gu worms to enter the empress's body faster. "Everything makes sense." Xue Leng gently put the sachet back into his own medicine box. Maybe he would have discovered something else in the sachet.
"Is it really her?" Feng Yu still didn't dare to believe this. It seemed that she had been set up. This had nothing to do with intelligence; it was the will of the people.
"Send our orders, bring the Venerable Shen over here, and that Rou Meier as well!" When Xuanyuan Zhan talked about Rou Meier, he had some rumors spreading around that he had died randomly. He couldn't wait to chop off his hair and put Feng Yu in danger time and time again, so he had been merciful and wanted to let her live and find out the truth behind the scenes. Now, it was the time to put Feng Yu in such a dangerous situation.
After the guard received his life, he went to Venerable Shen's palace. Since the time when Feng Yu had fainted, Venerable Shen had been unable to sit still. Now that he heard she was awake, he really didn't know if he should be happy or uneasy. At this moment, the guards barged in and captured all the maids. And finally, this Venerable Shen.
"No, you lackeys, I want to see the emperor." Venerable Shen was already panicking.
"We are here on the orders of the Emperor to arrest you and others." The leading guard didn't care what the Venerable Shen said and quickly led them away.
When they went to Rou Meier's palace, there was already no one left in the palace. The guard quickly brought Venerable Shen to the empress palace. Everything had been explained.
"Your majesty the Emperor, chenqie wrongly accused chenqie of being wrongly accused." Venerable Shen was already sobbing silently, encouraging him to beg.
