The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 317 The Antidote
"Clap!"

Hearing the sound of unlocking, Cui Hengyue looked up at the door.

That arrives so fast?

She thought she would have to wait at least one night.

Cui Hengyue thought it was Cui Yongxuan who came, but she didn't expect that it was Bai Qi.

And after Bai Qi came in, he took a look at Cui Hengyue first, and then checked in the room.

Seeing Bai Qi's actions, Cui Hengyue knew that she was being suspected again, and she was very speechless, too lazy to speak.

But when Bai Qi checked the window, Cui Hengyue's heart tightened, and his eyes were fixed on Bai Qi's movements.

"What? Are you worried that someone will come to rescue me?"

Cui Hengyue's words made Bai Jian's movements stagnate.

But it only paused for a moment, and Bai Qi started to check the window again. After checking, he turned his head to look at Cui Hengyue, and said lightly: "What? Do you think you can escape from the Yasukuni Mansion?"

Cui Hengyue asked back: "Why should I run away? The truth will always come to light. When the time comes, my grandfather will know that I am innocent, so he will naturally let me out."

Hearing this, Bai Qi turned around again and continued to check.

After carefully checking the whole room, Bai Qi walked straight to the door, ready to leave.

Cui Hengyue stopped him: "Hey, I want to see my father and ask the third master to come over."

Bai Qi paused for a moment, then closed the door.

Seeing Bai Qi coming back, Mrs. Cui couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?"

Bai Qi replied respectfully: "Yuanniang is still in the wing, nothing unusual."

At this time, Doctor Chen finished checking everything, came over and said: "Madam, there is nothing wrong with other things, only that cup of tea is poisonous."

He pointed to the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and explained: "This poison is colorless and odorless, and it's not easy to detect when it's put in tea, so the Duke didn't notice it.

"However, this poison will not attack so quickly. After being poisoned, it will take ten hours before it will appear. Once it occurs, if you do not take the antidote within an hour, you will die.

"But there will be no signs of poisoning after death. It looks more like it died of a cold."

Hearing the last sentence, Mrs. Cui was shocked, and suddenly remembered an old story.

Mrs. Cui asked: "Can you make an antidote?"

Doctor Chen hesitated for a moment: ".I'll try."

Therefore, Mrs. Cui said to Mrs. Cui: "The matter of the poisoning of the Duke of the State cannot be leaked. You go back and look at the backyard, and assist Commander Bai to search for the poisoner."

Then he ordered Bai Qi: "Not long after the Duke was poisoned, the uncle sealed off the mansion, the person who poisoned him must still be in the mansion.

"You must immediately gather people and search the whole house. You must find out the poisoner and the antidote, and declare to the outside world that my bracelet has been lost."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cui took off the jade bracelet that had been worn on her wrist all year round, and put it away.

Bai Qi said yes, ready to leave.

"and many more--"

Mrs. Cui stopped Bai Qi again: "Go and search Jinglan Garden first."

"Yes." Bai Qi immediately went to gather the staff.

Mrs. Cui's eyes moved slightly, and she also left the room.

Mrs. Cui looked at Cui Yongxuan again: "Third son, this matter is very important, you must keep your mouth shut, even if Mrs. Liu asks you, you can't tell the truth, do you understand?"

"My son knows the severity, please rest assured, mother." Cui Yongxuan said solemnly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui felt a little relieved, and waved at him: "You go back first."

Cui Yongxuan didn't move, looking at the person on the bed: "Mother, I want to stay and take care of my father."

Mrs. Cui frowned slightly: "It's good that you have this kind of filial piety, but we can't make other people in the house suspicious. You should go back first."

"Then..." Cui Yongxuan hesitated for a while, but still said, "What do you think should be done about what I told you just now?"

Before Mrs. Cui could answer, Cui Yongxuan said, "I think it should be released now."

Catching a glimpse of Dr. Chen sitting behind the desk thinking hard, Cui Yongxuan paused, walked to Madam Cui, and said in a low voice: "I think we should let Yuan Niang out now."

Hearing her son mentioning Cui Hengyue, Mrs. Cui interrupted him impatiently: "Could it be that in your heart, your father's safety is not worth your son's future?"

"I don't mean that."

Cui Yongxuan hurriedly explained, but was interrupted by Mrs. Cui again.

"Let's talk about this tomorrow. The most urgent thing now is to find an antidote. Let's get back."

Cui Yongxuan left the room awkwardly.

As soon as he left, Dr. Chen came out from behind the desk.

At this time, there were only Cui Quan, Mrs. Cui, Cui Yongzong, and Dr. Chen in the room.

"Madam, sir."

Doctor Chen walked up to the two of them and whispered: "Actually, there is one more thing I haven't told you, this poison is not from the Northern Han Dynasty, and very few people know about this poison.

"The reason why I know is because the Queen Mother used this poison to kill Imperial Doctor Zhen, and I was there at that time."

Cui Yongzong showed astonishment, but seeing his mother's calm expression, it seemed that he had known about this for a long time, so he put away his astonishment and asked, "Are you sure you can prepare the antidote within ten hours?"

If the poisoner and the antidote were not found, we could only rely on Dr. Chen to dispense the antidote, otherwise my father would be dead.

Dr. Chen shook his head: "To be honest, I can't find an antidote."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui finally changed her face: "What did you say? You can't make an antidote?"

"Yes." Doctor Chen answered honestly.

Mrs. Cui was in a hurry: "You are not worthy, if Bai Qi can't find the antidote, what should I do?"

Cui Yongzong was quite calm, first comforting Mrs. Cui: "Mother, don't worry, Dr. Chen is so calm, there should be a countermeasure, let's listen to what he has to say first."

"Uncle is really smart."

Dr. Chen praised Cui Yongzong, and then said: "The Empress Dowager has this poison in her hand, and also has the antidote to this poison. For safety's sake, I think the uncle should send someone to the palace right now."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui showed a happy smile, and hurriedly urged her eldest son: "A Zong, you go to the palace now. No, I should go."

Cui Yongzong thought that he didn't know about this kind of poison, so he couldn't tell the Queen Mother, so he agreed to Mrs. Cui's proposal: "Okay, I will send someone to escort you into the palace."

Since the poisoner can do it to his father, he will do it to his mother.

Thinking of this, Cui Yongzong personally selected ten guards, and ordered Zhu Lin to personally lead the team to escort Mrs. Cui into the palace.

On the other side, Mrs. Cui returned to the backyard and ordered Wutong, Xiuyun and others to accompany Bai Qi's people to search each room, explain the reason, and stabilize people's hearts.

She stopped Bai Qi: "I'll go to Jinglan Garden with you."

Bai Qi hurriedly said: "How dare you trouble yourself? It's enough for the subordinates to search."

"Let's go." After Madam Cui finished speaking, she walked towards Jinglan Garden.

Bai Qi had no choice but to follow.

"Who?"

There seemed to be a figure flashing past, and the guards guarding Jinglan Garden suddenly looked at the wall vigilantly.

Empty.

The keen sense prompted the guard to draw out his saber, and slowly approached the wall.

Lady Wen hid behind a tree not far from the courtyard wall, pinching two leaves with her fingers, and the cold sweat from her back soaked her clothes.

step.

two steps.

Three steps.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Mrs. Wen couldn't help tensing her body, ready to do it.
