Chapter 366 There is no antidote

After writing, He Linzhang put the letter away carefully and handed it to Eunuch Zhang: "You have been by my side since you were a teenager. You are the one who has been with me the longest. I trust you. If I treat Concubine Tao badly one day and fail to recognize her, you can show me this letter."

Eunuch Zhang carefully put it away, and said with a bitter heart: "Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor. You will definitely be able to turn danger into fortune and regain your memory."

He Linzhang sighed: "You have heard it all, there is no antidote. Go find the imperial physician and have him check my pulse again."

Tao Yanyan was also thinking about countermeasures.

Seeing the emperor's attitude towards Li Cairen today, she knew that the drug was extremely powerful. Although she was not afraid that the emperor would ignore her, she would not have to serve him, but she was worried that once she lost the emperor's favor, she would be unable to move in the palace, and she was even more worried that the queen would control the emperor to suppress her. In order to survive, she must firmly grasp the emperor's heart, because the emperor now has too many variables.

Seeing her worried look, Mingyue asked worriedly, "Is the Queen worried about something? The Queen hasn't smiled or spoken since she came back from the Imperial Garden."

Tao Yanyan shook his head. He couldn't tell anyone about the emperor's amnesia for the time being, and there was no point in letting one more person know.

She sighed, "I just feel that His Majesty is hot and cold, and I want him to be warm instead of cold."

Mingyue didn't understand, and after thinking for a while, she said, "That's easy. As long as the queen sticks to His Majesty more often and acts like a spoiled child, His Majesty will surely dote on the queen and be passionate about her."

Tao Yanyan blushed. She was good at acting coquettishly to win favor, but she was tired of acting coquettishly all the time!

Qingfeng bit her lip and said, "It has been a while since I made a new dress for you, Madam. I will make you a new one today and embroider it with... embroider the rabbit ears, okay?"

Tao Yanyan was completely amused by these two guys and her face turned red: "Okay, okay, you two haven't even gotten married yet, how come you know everything? It seems like I should carefully choose the right husband for you."

Qing Feng stamped her feet and said: "I will serve you my whole life and never leave the palace to get married!"

Mingyue also said: "If I get married, I can't stay with the queen. I will not get married, nor leave the palace, I will stay with the queen."

Tao Yan said earnestly, "I won't force you to get married, but I will take care of your leaving the palace. Palace maids can leave when they are 25 years old. I will prepare silver and real estate for you. You can go out with the money and live a good life. You can help me manage the business or do something to make a living. In short, don't stay in the palace. This palace is surrounded by high walls. I will never be able to leave in my lifetime. You still have a chance. Don't be greedy if you can leave. Do you understand?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue suddenly felt a little sad. They were both about to turn eighteen this year. If they were outside, they would have been engaged long ago, and would have spent their lives taking care of the family. But now they were with Concubine Tao, had seen the world, and had received the Empress' kindness, so they couldn't bear to leave her.

In another seven years, they will leave and never see the Empress again.

When he was feeling sad, Chang Tai came in and reported that Concubine Shu had arrived.

Tao Yanyan calmed himself down and asked Mingyue to go and entertain them first.

When I saw Concubine Shu again, I felt that she looked haggard, as if she had just given birth to a child and had aged several years.

"Your concubine greets Her Majesty Shufei." Shufei is now a first-rank concubine, and her rank is higher than Tao Yanyan. After she performed her greetings, she sat beside her and drank tea with Shufei.

Concubine Shu didn't bother to beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "I came here today to thank you. You saved the Third Prince that day, and I've been taking care of the children recently, so I haven't had time to spare. Today, the Third Prince is a little more stable, so I had time to come here and thank you in person."

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Under the circumstances at that time, I was not very sure, so I just took it as a try. The Third Prince is very lucky, that is his good fortune."

After a few pleasantries, Concubine Shu had someone present a thank-you gift.

"I will give you two pieces of porcelain and two thousand taels of silver as a thank you gift. You don't have to refuse, just accept them. There have been many frictions between you and me since you entered the palace. Don't worry, I will not make things difficult for you anymore. His Majesty's heart is with you, and it is useless for me to argue. It is better for you to take good care of the child and bring him up into an adult, which will make you feel more at ease." Concubine Shu said calmly, as if she was content with having a son.

Tao Yanyan ordered Mingyue to accept the thank-you gift: "Thank you very much, Madam Concubine Shu. When I have time another day, I will go to see the Third Prince again."

Shufei did not refuse, and the two sat and chatted for a while, and then Shufei left.

Mingyue put all the things into the warehouse: "After this incident, Concubine Shu seems to have calmed down a lot."

Tao Yanyan did not say anything. The third prince was born with a small head. If his intelligence could not keep up in the future, there was no guarantee that Concubine Shu would not become hysterical again because of the child.

What she wanted originally was the emperor's favor, but now what she wants is for her child to become successful and bring well-being to her and the Shu family in the future. This person is also a pitiful one. Maybe she will get nothing in the end after pursuing something all her life.

She sighed softly, "Get ready and go pick up the three children. By the way, take good care of the people around the Second Princess recently. If anyone from Fengyi Palace comes to snatch the children, you must keep an eye on them and don't let them take them away. Didn't the Queen Mother give you a sign? If things really don't work, show it."

Mingyue was stunned, unable to figure out why the Queen would bring up these things at this time. Could it be that the Queen was planning on snatching the second princess back?

Mingyue did not dare to ask more questions and went downstairs to inform the second princess's nanny and maid.

Tao Yanyan tidied up her makeup a little, then took a sedan chair to go to the school to pick someone up.

Qi Yizheng secretly arrested all the monks of Fuyan Temple that day, especially the eminent monk who was said to be so powerful that he was imprisoned in solitary confinement in the dungeon of Jingzhao Yinfu.

"Why did you arrest me? I am a monk and not under the control of the secular world. I haven't broken any law. Why do you abuse your power and lock me up?" The monk shouted in the prison, but no one was willing to pay attention to him. They all left him to fend for himself.

After waiting for a long time, a prison boss finally brought him some vegetarian dishes and steamed buns: "You, stop shouting. I saw that you are also a monk. I believe in Buddhism, so I helped you find out. You have offended the powerful and you don’t even know it! You have caused a big disaster, so just wait to be beheaded!"

After the jailer finished speaking, the monk was so frightened that he trembled: "Please explain clearly, what exactly did I do wrong?"

The jailer looked around, then stepped forward and whispered, "Did you sell a pill to a woman? The woman gave the pill to her husband, and he forgot about his concubine and even hated her, causing a death."

The monk said hurriedly, "I, I didn't know it would cause such a big trouble! The lady came to ask about her fortune, and I only said that this medicine can make people like and dislike, and will only forget other women. But it is impossible to cause a death. Who can kill someone casually? Even if she forgot, she wouldn't kill her, right?"

The jailer narrowed his eyes and said, "If someone instigates them, they will be beaten to death, right? I think you should send the antidote to them as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they kill a few more concubines, you will never be able to leave this jail again!"

After saying that, the jailer stood up and said, "I see that you are a Buddhist so I tell you this. You should think about how to solve it. If you want me to run errands for you, just tell me. Oh, this is really a sin!"

After saying this, the jailer turned around and walked out with the food box. He walked to the corner, where the monk couldn't see him, and tore off the beard on his face.
