472: Ninth Prince vs. Imperial Master
Wu Changwen felt a little relieved, but looked at the glistening water in the tea cup and became even more confused.
"Qixinye is very similar to tea, and it is a foreign product, so it is really hard to guard against."
Fortunately, he had the national master to remind him!
Chao Sheng snorted softly, "These seven-heart leaves are extremely difficult to cultivate in Xinjiang. To be able to produce so many of them at once, Xinjiang must have had a premeditated plan."
"But if goods from Xinjiang are to be transported to Mu, a lot of procedures and documents are required. There are already people in the court who have colluded with Xinjiang, and their official positions are not low." Wu Changwen speculated.
"It doesn't matter, after I capture the Ninth Prince's body, I will be able to draw talismans to undo the poisons of the powerful. In this way, I will also gain the gratitude of many people." Chao Sheng raised the corners of his mouth, feeling very unhappy.
This time is truly a God-given opportunity!
It is said that Yesi Heng himself refused to inherit the throne, so the candidate for the crown prince has been vacant.
Sure enough, the easier it is for people to get something, the less they will cherish it.
It's different like him. He came from a humble background and tried his best to become a national teacher. His life and death and his reputation are still controlled by the emperor.
After he became the Ninth Prince, the throne was right in front of him, how could he let it go?
It is difficult for him to go further in his spiritual practice, but it is good to have great power.
Chao Sheng chuckled again, "It's time to bring Chen Yuanzhu back to Kyoto..."
——
Chunyang tea also became popular in the palace.
In the cabinet, almost every minister drinks this tea.
Yesi Heng was dealing with the memorial and wanted to discuss something with the Minister of Household Affairs. When he looked up, he did not see Wu Changwen.
"Where's Mr. Wu?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said: "Returning to your Majesty, Mr. Wu is not feeling well and has asked for leave today."
Yesi Heng nodded slightly. The matters mentioned in this article are not urgent and can be put aside for now.
But soon, Qingyang came in from outside. After bowing, he walked over to Ye Siheng and whispered a few words.
Yesi Heng frowned at first, but soon returned to normal.
He stood up, put on his big cloak, and said: "The king has something to do and has to leave the palace. If there are any issues that cannot be decided, please put them aside for now."
Although Prime Minister Lu had doubts, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
Before leaving the cabinet room, Ye Siheng paused and looked back at the tea cups on the ministers' desks.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
After leaving the palace and getting on the black wooden carriage, he asked Qingyang: "Did Lord Wu invite the imperial physician in the palace?"
"No, Mrs. Wu hired an ordinary doctor. It happened that the doctor knew a lot about poisons, so he knew there was something wrong with Chunyang tea." Qingyang reported.
Yesi Heng's eyes were deep, "It's strange that Chunyang Tea is so popular. As soon as I sent someone to investigate, the poison spread to Master Wu. It was fast enough."
Many people also sent Chunyang tea to the palace.
But he is used to drinking Longjing, so the servants will not change him at will.
Later, when he saw that Prime Minister Lu and others had changed to Chunyang tea and said that they would feel uncomfortable if they didn't drink a few cups in the morning, he felt something was wrong.
It happened that Chu Shuo came to Prince Yu's Mansion with tea leaves and was quite dissatisfied with the red color of Chunyang Tea. However, he asked people to investigate openly and secretly, but they could not find out where the Chunyang Tea from Fang's Tea Shop was purchased.
In desperation, Chu Shuo came to ask the prince's brother-in-law for help.
Yesi Heng had many capable people under his command, and even though he called them in secret, he could not see anything wrong with Chunyang Tea.
So now I can only buy it from Fang’s Tea Shop.
Now...an ordinary doctor actually sees what's wrong with Chunyang Tea?
Is it a coincidence, or are the experts among the people?
"Your Majesty, do you want to mobilize the black-armored guards?" Qingyang asked.
Ye Siheng's expression remained the same: "No need, now I don't know what's wrong with Chunyang Tea, let alone who is behind the scenes, so it's better not to alert the enemy."
Qingyang nodded and said in a solemn tone: "My lord, don't worry, none of the people following you have ever drank Chunyang tea."
During the conversation, they had already arrived at the Wu Mansion.
Ye Siheng took Qingyang into the mansion, and the guards were naturally standing guard outside.
Mrs. Wu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, so she bowed and led the way.
Ye Siheng had a noble and cold temperament, so Mrs. Wu did not dare to say anything.
When they arrived outside the room, they could already hear Wu Changwen's painful voice: "Tea...I want to drink tea...go make tea quickly! Go quickly!"
Mrs. Wu cried again and hurried in: "Master, the Chunyang Tea has been gone for a long time. The doctor is already thinking of ways to detoxify you. Please bear with it."
Yesi Heng followed behind.
I saw that the room was a little messy, and Wu Changwen was lying on the bed with his hands and feet tied up.
His eyes were bloodshot, and although his face was pale, there were a few red streaks on his face, and his lips were also blue and purple.
This symptom is obviously poisoning, and I have become extremely dependent on Chunyang tea.
Wu Changwen was acting like a lunatic now. He seemed to be unable to see or hear, and he just kept clamoring for tea.
Yesi Heng asked: "Where is the doctor who diagnoses the disease?"
Mrs. Wu wiped the corners of her eyes and quickly asked her servants to invite the doctor in.
Yesi Heng was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, wearing luxurious clothes and a beautiful scenery that no one could rival.
The doctor walked in, lowered his head, knelt down and saluted.
I thought Ye Siheng would ask about Wu Changwen's condition, but Ye Siheng stared at him for a while, his eyes getting colder, and finally said: "Take her down."
Everyone in the room was stunned, wondering why Ye Siheng would give this order.
Although Qingyang was also confused, he had already drawn his sword and charged forward.
The doctor, Chao Sheng, was shocked in his heart. He had used the disguise talisman, but he didn't know where he had exposed his flaw, and Ye Siheng had figured it out!
But since he had brought Yesi Heng here, he had expected that something unexpected would happen.
He raised his head suddenly and immediately threw out a holding charm.
This immobilization talisman is very powerful, not only Qingyang will suffer, but also Ye Siheng will be enveloped.
Yesi Heng reacted quickly and left the range of the amulet.
He raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that he was actually good at using Taoism.
He dodged, but Qingyang was in front and couldn't dodge so easily. His whole body was immobilized and he couldn't move at the moment.
Although Chao Sheng secretly screamed that something was wrong, he still remained calm in the face of danger and threw out the second immobilization talisman.
Yesi Heng didn't panic anymore and just stood still.
The immobilization talisman was right in front of him, and he was about to have an effect on him, but suddenly it stopped in mid-air, trembling incessantly!
Chao Sheng was startled and hurriedly controlled the holding talisman with his hand.
Yesi Heng's body was surrounded by a faint golden light, and traces of runes could be vaguely seen.
Chao Sheng's eyes widened: "You... you are protected by such exquisite talismans, why did you dodge just now?!"
"Instinct reaction." Yesi Heng said quietly, "I just remembered it."
With a bang——
The amulet tore in mid-air, whipping up a gust of wind.
Chao Sheng's blood boiled and he took a few steps back from the shock, his face turned pale.
This incident caused his disguise to lose its effectiveness.
