Chapter 1006: The Unscrupulous Master Wants to Exhaust the F

of his hat, and the light illuminated his face perfectly, allowing the village chief to see him clearly.The honored guest nodded at him and rode away with his entourage.Mrs. Li, with her gray hair nea...He mustered all his courage and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Having said that, he knelt forward and prostrated himself before the Emperor, feeling his pulse.

In the house, silence was so profound that a pin could be heard dropping. Both Jiayin and Princess San consciously tried to make their breathing as quiet as possible.

But after Liu treated his left hand, he switched to his right, his brow still furrowed. Finally, he bowed again and whispered, "Your Majesty, your dragon body is perfectly fine. It's just that there is some excess fire in your body. Take a decoction of calming herbs for three days, and you will be completely cured."

The Emperor's pupils constricted slightly, seemingly unwilling to believe. He asked, "Liu Yuansi, if a person feels agitated and irritable at noon, the feeling intensifies at dusk, and only when they smell a certain scent or see a certain person do they calm down and become happy..."

"You said, is this normal Could it be that this person has been tricked by some means"

Doctor Liu was stunned. He pondered deeply for a while, and then suddenly seemed to have realized something. He hurriedly re-examined the emperor's pulse and then took out a silver needle, requesting, “Your Majesty, may I take a drop of blood from your left ring finger”

The emperor hesitated for no moment and immediately reached out his hand.

Dr. Liu gritted his teeth, enduring the tremor as he quickly plunged the silver needle into the Emperor's ring finger. Soon, a drop of blood welled up.

Liu Yuan took a small bottle from the medicine box and sprinkled some powder on the drop of blood. The drop of blood turned blue instantly.

In the candlelight, the blue hue seemed otherworldly, causing the Third Princess to instinctively squeeze Jia Yin's hand.

Jia Yin gently patted her on the back, her heart also hanging high in her chest...

Liu Yuan's face had turned as pale as a sheet, looking as though he had seen his entire family about to be beheaded.

He opened his mouth to speak, but the emperor had already waved his hand and ordered the Third Princess and Jia Yin, "Go have a few snacks."

The third princess refused, and insisted on staying, but she was forcefully dragged away by Jia Yin.

This room was the residence of the Three Princesses, with a small door in the corner that led to an ear room where they could bathe daily.

For convenience of water delivery and cleaning, the ear chamber also has an entrance and exit door.

Jia Yin and the third princess walked out all the way to the small garden behind the palace.

At this moment, the moonlight was peaceful, and the cicadas chirped softly in the small garden. However, because of the arrival of an outsider, they suddenly fell silent.

The Third Princess' face was full of worry. She hugged Jiayin and choked back sobs, "Jiayin, did Father... get poisoned Is Father going to die"

Jia Yin's heart was also troubled, more so with complexity.

These days, she sends the little fox out to scout every night.

The little fox is not human after all, she can't understand many of her instructions, and she can't bring back too much detailed information.

But the emperor's whereabouts, it could still keep track of.

Thus, she discovered that the Emperor resided in RongHua Palace every day, only venturing out a few times. Even on those occasions, he would fly into a rage and punish the eunuchs who served him poorly.

This is quite a coincidence.

She vaguely guessed that in order to vie for favor and for the Second Prince to be favored by the Emperor, perhaps Consort Rong Hua from the Noble Palace had used some means.

But judging from what just happened, I'm afraid things aren't as simple as they seem...

Seeing that Jiayin remained silent, the Third Princess became even more anxious and was about to turn back.

Jia Yin came to her senses and quickly advised, "Princess, your Imperial uncle asked you to step aside because he is worried that knowing the truth will only cause you unnecessary anxiety. If this involves important matters of state, you may not understand the gravity of the situation and inadvertently reveal something, which would put your Imperial uncle in an even more difficult position."

"That's my father! Am I just supposed to watch and do nothing" the Third Princess fumed.

Jiāyīn sighed and said no more.

To put yourself in her shoes, if it were her adoptive father or biological father who might be poisoned, she would probably be even more worried than the third princess.

Fortunately, after a while, Manager Yi came and asked the two of them to go back.

The Emperor had already left, but Liu Yuan Shou stayed behind and wrote out a prescription for calming tea.

The Grand Master personally brought people to simmer the medicinal soup, and watched as the Third Princess and Jia Yin each drank a bowl before returning to his study.

The Third Princess was anxious, but she didn't want to ruin her father's affairs, so she could only endure it.

Finally, Zhi Lan Palace fell silent. She still wanted to discuss with Jia Yin when the An Shen Tang took effect.

She finally succumbed to Zhou Gong's summons and fell into a deep sleep.

When Jia Yin drank the calming soup, she only took a sip and did some fidgeting.

She feigned sleepiness, but once back in her side chambers, she sent Shui Ling and Shui Yun to bed. She then sat by the window, wrote a page, and rolled it up.

The little fox lay on the bed, curled up comfortably in the soft bedding, yawning and revealing two sharp teeth.

"San-táo, come here!" Jia Yin beckoned. The little fox looked up, then closed its eyes and acted lazy.

During this time, it has been working very hard, running out every night to gather information.

I'm exhausted!

I'm determined to rest tonight!

Jia Yin laughed, pulling out a bag of crispy little yellow fish from space.

This is a snack I bought at the old market in my hometown in my past life. It wasn't valuable, but it was a trace left behind from my previous life.

So, she kept it very hidden, not wanting to eat it herself, and of course, she didn't give any to the little fox either.

At this juncture, for the sake of a grand matter, it can only be used as a bribe.

As expected, the moment the packaging bag was opened, a faint aroma of spiciness and fishy scent made the little fox jump up immediately and dash onto the table.

Jia Yin ate slowly and deliberately, ignoring the impatient little fox.

The little fox made a fuss for a while, seeing that its master was truly unmoved.

It could only lower its head, biting at the master's sleeve, and learning from the old dogs in the village, it wagged its tail like a windmill.

Jia Yin couldn't help but laugh, she stuffed the remaining half of the small fish into its mouth, then hugged it and soothed, "I know you've been tired lately, but I can't go in and out easily. You're the most agile and alert, so you have to be a hard-working little assistant for me."

"I'll ask someone to run back to my place for me in a bit and deliver a message. Wait for me to come back, and I'll give you a bag of this small yellow fish, okay"

The little fox licked its lips, clearly not full yet. It then chirped twice.

Jia Yin rubbed its head gently, smiling and replying, "Alright, two bags then. Too many and there won't be any left. After a while, I'll write to Quanzhou and have my uncle's workshop custom-make a few large jars of yellow croaker just for you. You can lie in the jar and eat!"

The little fox was finally satisfied and happily wagged its tail.

The little fox had a collar around its neck, as thick as a finger, with a hollow in the middle.

It's very convenient to carry a pill or a note every day.

Moreover, the opening method of the collar is special and only known to the Li family.

If the method is incorrect, it cannot be opened except by throwing the collar into a furnace.

Needless to say, this item was also crafted by the skilled artisans of Zhengjiazhuang.

Jia Yin put the finished scroll into her collar, patted the little fox's head, and the little fox jumped out the window.

The palace in the dark night was unnaturally quiet, heavy with a stifling silence.

Occasionally, eunuchs with upset stomachs would run to the latrine. One time, a white shadow suddenly flashed past, scaring one so badly he almost finished his business right there on the spot.

But he didn't dare to cry out either. If he caused a commotion and disturbed his master, he wouldn't even be able to withstand the beating.

Besides, this palace has been passed down for how many years, who knows how many people have died here.

A few people who have grievances in their hearts, took advantage of the night to wander around and get some fresh air, what's wrong with that.

People didn't come out during the day to scare people again...'re on the side of reason, why would you let them off When people bully you, they don't care about right or wrong!"Li La Er rubbed his niece's hair and smiled indulgently, "That's right, that's how it...
