Chapter 456 Tenth Son

According to ancient books, rhino horn can detoxify and prevent poison, especially Asian rhino horn, which is fine in texture and can filter and purify toxins.

But the two anti-poison beads in front of me are not made of rhino horns, but Linglong grinds them from a kind of golden tree produced in the space. The branches are taken off and made into jewelry to be worn on the body. Once a poison comes close, it will generate heat, which will be felt by the wearer.

The finished poison bead is golden yellow, but the rhinoceros horn is dark brown. In order to conceal the true origin of the object, Linglong purposely infects it with medicinal materials that do not harm its function, and dyes it into a color close to that of rhinoceros horn.

The Empress Dowager has been in the world for many years, and she has never seen any good things. When she saw these two beads, she knew they were extraordinary things.

She said: "Of course this thing is excellent, but Ai's family is getting old. If you can't keep it together, you will go to the underground to meet Emperor Xiaozong. Why waste such a good thing on Ai's family? Let's give it to Yongyu. This child is ours." Hope for the future, don’t let anything happen to you.”

A touch of emotion surged up in Linglong's heart, and she said with a smile, "I made four of these beads in total, and Yongyu also has them there, so don't worry, Auntie."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager stopped refusing, and asked someone to accept it, and said carefully: "Although there are beads that can ward off poison, you still have to be careful. Ai's family has lived in the harem for so many years, and it's not just anyone. It can be calculated that from now on, the Ai family will pay close attention to every move in the harem, and the Ai family will want to see who dares to do those filthy things under the eyes of the Ai family."

Ting Lan took a piece of spring tea cake, tasted it, and said: "Battles in the harem are basically for the queen and the crown prince. My sister has been in the middle palace for many years. If there is no accident, Yongyu will Future princes, your mother and son are the most likely to be plotted against in the harem, so you should be more careful, but the death of the empress dowager is strange, does she still have secrets that we don't know about?"

Linglong said vaguely: "Emperor and Concubine are all dead, so there is no secret. Maybe it is because the Empress and Concubine have done too many bad things, so she has suffered retribution."

Ting Lan stared at Linglong, with a look of hesitation in her eyes, but she didn't ask, she just said: "Maybe, but this matter should be investigated carefully, I don't believe it, because the three of us have been operating in the harem for many years. The power of the people, still can't find out who that person is."

The mourning period for the emperor and concubine has passed, and the harem has resumed its former splendor.

Linglong knows, however, that under the seemingly calm surface, there is actually a raging undercurrent.

In August of the 11th year of Jiaqian, Berry concubine mobilized in Yanxi Palace and gave birth to a prince, who was the emperor's tenth son Yongqiong.

When Concubine Berry was pregnant, some people said that this child was the reincarnation of a child who died tragically from the poison of orpiment, and now that she was born as a prince, they thought it was the child from back then who had returned to renew the relationship between mother and child with her.

Immediately, Berry Pin wept with joy: "Baby, my baby is back, it's great, it's great."

For this lost and recovered child, Berry Pin loves him so much that he doesn't know what to do, she puts everything aside in her heart and concentrates on raising this child.

Concubine Huo saw that Concubine Mei had been out of favor for many years, yet she still had her own child, and she was still the prince, so angry that she beat her feet and smashed countless bottles and jars.
