Chapter 200 Exhausting the last life-saving pill
"Yes, Queen Mother." Mammy stepped back respectfully.

As expected of the nanny who has been with the empress dowager for many years, this ability to observe words and emotions is beyond the reach of ordinary palace people.She called out all the serving maids in the palace, leaving only Yun Lan, the Queen Mother and Yang Shi.

"Lan'er." The queen mother looked lightly at Yang Shi who was following Yunlan, as if she kept her words on her lips.

Seeing this, Yunlan patted Yang's hand and asked her to wait for her outside.

"Lan'er, the thing about Chen'er is that the Ai family is sorry for you. The Ai family thought that Chen'er would be a good home for you. Although he is a bit unruly on weekdays, he is the smartest one in the royal family. Child, did you ever think that he would do such a foolish thing." When Xu Shi talked about the excitement, the Empress Dowager coughed, and her pale face turned red from coughing.

Yunlan hurriedly got up and went to carry the empress dowager's back.

"Ahem, Ai's family is fine, it's just for you, eh..." The queen mother casually picked up the teacup on the table, took a few sips, and then she felt better. She held Yunlan's hand and let her sit on her own. side.

Yun Lan sat down, a trace of self-deprecating flashed across her eyes, "Queen Mother, some things are preordained, so you can't force them."

The queen mother smiled gratifiedly, "Lan'er, if you can think this way, the Ai family will feel relieved. Now, so many things have happened to the Yun family, and you have worked hard. Lan'er, you have to be good, the Yun family will It will depend on you in the end."

"Queen Mother, don't always think about Lan'er all day long, but Queen Mother, you should take a good rest. I haven't seen you for a long time. Queen Mother, what do you look like?" Yun Lan pouted, pretending to be a bit reproachful. He glanced at the queen mother, but there was concern in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

The queen mother smiled softly, "You child, you are so caring, if those in the palace are as caring as you, Ai's family will be able to close their eyes."

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager's complexion sank slightly, and there was a little anger in her eyes, perhaps recalling the scene that made her angry.

Yun Lan was taken aback for a moment, blinked her eyes, and asked, "Queen Mother, how is the second sister entering the palace these days?"

The queen mother sighed slightly when she heard the words, and the wrinkles on the corners of her eyes became more and more obvious, "Lan'er, this is the evil fruit of the mourning family, and I can't blame others. To tell you the truth, in recent days, the emperor's body and bones It got worse and worse, not only did she and Concubine Qin not serve the emperor, but they fought to the death all day long, making the whole palace full of smog, eh..."

"Queen Mother, you mean the emperor's body—" Yun Lan's heart sank suddenly, and she asked, "Have you let the imperial doctor see it?"

The queen mother closed her eyes lightly, and let out a long sigh, "Look, I took a lot of medicine but it still doesn't work. If the emperor has something wrong, how can the Ai family explain to the late emperor?"

"Empress Dowager, the emperor's auspicious people have their own auspices, so nothing will happen." Yunlan comforted.

"Lan'er, you don't need to say these things, the Ai family understands that this is fate." The queen mother shook her head, "When the former emperor was still there, he often said that no one could escape a fate, the emperor looks like this It must be his destiny. However, if the emperor leaves like this, how will the country of Beicang be guarded?"

The more the queen mother said, the more her voice became choked up, "On the day the late emperor left, Ai's family made a promise in front of the late emperor's bed to protect the country of Beicang Kingdom for him, but if the emperor dies, The emperor never left behind a prince. Those princes are probably trying their best to seize the throne. They are all raised by the Ai family. If they kill each other, the Ai family might as well serve them earlier The late emperor."

"Empress Dowager—" Yun Lan also understood what the Empress Dowager was worried about. Just like in the previous life, the emperor died, and several princes and other forces fought to the death. She and her parents became victims because of this.

However, she has always been puzzled, who killed the emperor?

The news of the emperor's death caught the princes by surprise, and everyone quickly wooed the forces in the court. From this, it can be seen that the emperor will definitely not be harmed by the princes, otherwise, once the emperor dies, the prince who harmed the emperor will take his place However, everyone is in such a hurry.

Obviously, if they were not fully prepared, they would definitely not harm the emperor.

Who would that be?What's the benefit of killing the emperor?And why did they kill their family?Yunlan had always thought that she was killed because she blocked Qin Yi's way, but now thinking about it, Qin Yi had already taken refuge in the fourth prince at that time, and she was not the daughter of the Yun family, so she could not do anything to them threaten.

Based on what she knew about Qin Yi, he wouldn't have killed herself in this way.

"The emperor is in the golden age, and his body is originally strong, how can he become like this?" Yun Lan's eyes darkened, and asked in a low voice, "Does the queen mother know what disease the emperor has?"

"This—" the queen mother hesitated.

"The queen mother has no one else here. Could it be that the queen mother can't trust Lan'er?" Yun Lan raised her eyes and said.

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? If the Ai family can't even trust you, who else can they trust?" The queen mother held Yun Lan's hand, patted it lightly a few times, and looked outside for a long time, Then he said slowly, "Lan'er, do you know that Huang'er is not sick, but poisoned."

Sure enough, it was exactly the same in the previous life, the emperor was poisoned.

She always thought that the person who poisoned him was at Yun's house, but the emperor did not go to Patriarch Yun's birthday banquet that day.

That is to say-

The poisoner is in the palace!

"The Ai family is also suspicious." The Queen Mother seemed to have seen through Yunlan's thoughts, and said, "But this matter must never be spread out. If it is spread out, it will make people panic. The imperial doctor also thinks There are a lot of ways, but the emperor...heh, the current emperor is already at the end of his strength, if he doesn't use the few thousand-year-old ginseng in the treasury to hold his breath, he might not be able to last much longer."

Yun Lan's eyes were half-lidded, but there was an extra porcelain bottle made of white jade in her hand hidden in her sleeve. The eldest brother gave her two pills to detoxify when she was young, and one was used on the fourth prince. Originally intended to be used for self-defense.

"Can the queen mother let Lan'er go to see the emperor, maybe Lan'er has a way to save the emperor's life."

"What method does Lan'er have?" The Queen Mother asked in surprise.

Yun Lan nodded, "The Empress Dowager knows about my elder brother, Yun Ziwang?"

"Your elder brother, the Ai family has some impressions. I even hugged him when I was young." Speaking of this, the queen mother may have thought of the past, and chuckled a few times, "Why did Lan'er mention your elder brother so well?" Yes. The Ai family has heard that your elder brother disliked the struggle in the mansion of the aristocratic family, and followed someone to wander the rivers and lakes, right?"

"Indeed, but elder brother doesn't like to fight, so he followed his master to wander the rivers and lakes. To tell the truth, the master that elder brother followed was a very famous person in the martial arts. Lan'er didn't remember his name, but he knew His medical skills are excellent."

The queen mother shook her head when she heard the words and interrupted her, "Silly girl, although the Ai family has been living in the palace, it's not that they don't know everything. Such famous people in the rivers and lakes live in no fixed place. Damn, where does the emperor have the time to wait for someone to find your elder brother's master?"

Yun Lan bit her lip, saw the jade bottle in her hand was taken out, and said, "Queen Mother, when Lan'er was young, my elder brother came back once, and gave Lan'er two pills to cure all kinds of poisons as gifts, and one Lan'er I have already used it, and I happen to have this one left, the queen mother might as well ask the emperor to take it, maybe it can cure the emperor's poison."

"Lan'er, is this something that your elder brother left you to save your life?" The queen mother heard the words, and there was a flash of struggle in her eyes, "If you are used by the emperor, what will happen to you in the future, but what about the Ai family?" That's right. You are all Aijia's darlings!"

Yunlan's heart skipped a beat, a glint of water flashed in her eyes, she put the jade bottle into the queen mother's hand, and said with a chuckle, "Brother gave this pill well, and Lan'er didn't go out of her boudoir all day, so how could she cause trouble?" If people come to poison you, don't worry about it, the Empress Dowager."

"Then—" The Empress Dowager was agitated and held on tightly to Yu Ping'er, "Lan'er, you are the savior of Beicang Kingdom."

"But——" the queen mother quickly restrained her emotions, looked at Yunlan calmly, and said, "This is a big matter, and Lan'er must not leak it out. The person who poisoned him has not been found yet. , the Ai family is afraid that if the news leaks out, the emperor will be in more danger."

"Queen, please rest assured, Lan'er knows how to measure."

The two were talking, the mother had already arranged the meal, and asked the queen mother softly at the door if she wanted to eat. Seeing that the queen mother had been staring at the jade bottle in her hand, Yunlan knew that the queen mother was in a hurry to detoxify the emperor, so she pushed that yesterday The boy just woke up, feeling a little tired, and wanted to go back to rest earlier.

The empress dowager wanted to detoxify the emperor, so she didn't keep Yun Lan, and said that she would come to the palace to sit with her, an old man, when she was in better health.He shook hands and gave some instructions, and asked Mammy to go to the warehouse to get some precious medicinal materials for Yunlan to take back.

Knowing that it was the queen mother who took her detoxification pill, Yun Lan felt guilty, so she let Yang take it, got up and left the Compassionate Ning Palace.

-

Inside the Nine Kings Mansion.

About half an hour after Yunlan left, Li Yue was making insoles for Bailichen, she just put down her needle and thread, planning to have someone push her to the kitchen and order the master to cook Bailichen's favorite meal, a hidden weapon slammed He shot it over and nailed it to the wall not far from her, with a small note tied to it.

"There's an assassin..." the servant girl who was serving her screamed in panic, and ran out to call for someone.

However, Li Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, unhurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled out the hidden weapon, seeing no one around, unfolded the note and glanced hastily.

"Her life-saving pills have run out."
