The steps the imperial doctor was about to take suddenly stopped, and he could only wait for King Lian to let go.
King Lian looked at Shen Luoxi with a sullen face, "Answer me! The bottom of the pot is just ashes. How dare you let Mr. Xu drink horse urine! Mr. Xu is an honored guest!"
Shen Luoxi replied calmly, "Of course it's to cure the disease. The sweaty horse's urine is the best medicine, and it can cure Master Xu's disease."
"Nonsense!" King Lian scolded: "I will never let you feed Master Xu such filthy food!"
"Someone, take down Princess Xuan!"
The guard outside raised his foot to come in, but was stopped by Someiro.
"You have nothing to do here. Hurry up and get what Princess Xuan needs." Cang Minglang said.
The guards looked at each other, wondering whether they should listen to him or not.
King Lian glanced around and saw the guards still standing outside the door at a loss. He said angrily: "Why are you still standing there! Didn't you hear what I said!"
Cang Minglang signaled them to step back, turned to look at King Lian and said, "Second brother, Princess Xuan certainly has her own motives for doing this. I see that Master Xu's face is getting worse and worse, so it's better not to waste time."
Shen Luoxi looked at him, his eyes flickering. Cang Minglang looked at her like this, and he was completely different from when he was in the palace.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the stalemate between Cang Minglang and King Lian.
After a moment, King Lian gritted his teeth.
Although the queen mother accompanied her father to the palace banquet, the father still did not lift the empress's restraint. If he and Cang Minglang had a dispute, he would have no one to support him!
King Lian spent a lot of effort to suppress his emotions, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, Mr. Xu is an honored guest after all, how can he drink horse urine?"
"Even if Mr. Xu's illness is cured, if word spreads accidentally, outsiders will definitely say that Jingguo doesn't even give herbal medicine to foreign envoys, and they will be ridiculed!"
Cang Minglang chuckled and rolled his eyes to scan the crowd, "Will everyone present now tell Master Xu about this?"
Everyone shook their heads hurriedly, and he continued: "Since no one will tell, what else does the second brother have to worry about? As long as the second brother remembers not to accidentally spill the beans, how will Mr. Xu find out?"
"Besides, everyone here is doing this to cure Mr. Xu. The medicinal materials should not be limited to flowers and plants. Second brother, just relax."
He winked at the imperial doctor, who immediately walked out of the room to prepare the medicinal materials Shen Luoxi mentioned.
King Lian hesitated to speak, but he didn't know how to refute, so he could only tighten his lips.
Shen Luoxi looked at the expressions of the two of them, the sparkle in her eyes fleeting. She only felt strange that Cang Minglang was speaking to her like this.
Not only that, she could clearly see the murderous intent in King Lian's eyes.
She didn't take it to heart. She was assassinated just once, and it wasn't the first time that King Lian had done this.
Soon, the imperial doctor who went to get the medicine came back.
They covered their noses and handed the smelly horse urine to Shen Luoxi. Shen Luoxi took it with a calm expression, walked to Minister Xu, opened his mouth, and fed him a bowl full of horse urine.
Everyone in the room couldn't bear to look directly at him, and all turned their heads in discomfort.
Shen Luoxi put down the empty bowl and stuffed some pot ashes under Xu Shilang's tongue.
She covered Xu Shilang's mouth. After a moment, Xu Shilang's throat rolled, and she let go.
Xu Shilang straightened up suddenly, leaned over the bed and vomited.
At first, all I vomited was yellow water, and after a while, all I vomited was the food I ate last night.
Shen Luoxi watched quietly until he saw a reddish-brown pill appear on the ground, then he wrapped his hand in a handkerchief and stepped forward to pick it up.
Cang Minglang covered his mouth and nose and asked in discomfort: "What is this?"
"Red snake fruit, eating it can make you look like a dying person." Shen Luoxi said with a half-smile, "Master Xu is really careless, he actually ate it accidentally."
"Master Xu has spit it out now and will wake up in a while."
Cang Minglang nodded, and when his peripheral vision accidentally caught sight of the filth spit out by Mr. Xu, he lifted his feet and walked out of the room.
King Lian looked ugly. He didn't expect Shen Luoxi to undo Xu Shilang's poison!
The red snake fruit is something only found in the Yun Kingdom, how could Shen Luoxi know?
When he was puzzled, Shen Luoxi slowly walked up to him and said, "His Royal Highness, Mr. Xu lives in the palace, why don't you pay close attention to Mr. Xu's food?"
"Fortunately, I treated him in time. Otherwise, if something happened to Mr. Xu, His Highness King Lian would not be able to bear it."
King Lian was speechless for a long time, and after a long time he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "It seems that the servants and maids who served were negligent, and I will definitely punish them severely..."
Shen Luoxi raised the corners of her lips, "I will report this matter to the Emperor when I return to the palace with His Highness later."
King Lian gritted his teeth and turned away from looking at her.
Not long after, Master Xu opened his eyes. He felt a sour taste in his mouth. He looked up and saw Shen Luoxi looking at him with a smile, "Master Xu finally woke up. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, tell me." That’s it.”
"Just don't take medicine randomly anymore. If you accidentally take Hedinghong, Duangchangsan or other things, Mr. Xu will be in trouble."
Xu Shilang's eyes widened in horror. He turned to look at King Lian, only to see King Lian's gloomy face.
He suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and quickly moved back to distance himself from Shen Luoxi.
"I, I'm fine..."
Shen Luoxi smiled slightly and said, "It's good that Mr. Xu is fine. Your Majesty knows that Mr. Xu is ill and is very anxious. Fortunately, you have turned the corner and I can give the Emperor an explanation."
"I think Lord Xu has just woken up and is still tired, so I won't disturb your rest."
Cang Minglang stepped forward and exchanged a few polite words with Minister Xu, then left the palace with Shen Luoxi.
Xu Shilang looked at their backs for a long time and couldn't recover. It wasn't until King Lian approached and startled him that he reacted and murmured to himself in a low voice: "I want to go back to Yun Kingdom, I want to leave now..."
The plan failed again. King Lian was irritated and his tone was a little more impatient, "What did Mr. Xu say? Please think about it, Mr. Xu, is there any other way?"
Xu Shilang ignored it and kept muttering to himself: "You must tell the emperor about this immediately..."
The two of them were talking to each other, neither of them paying attention to the other.
In the royal study, Shen Luoxi told the emperor everything about Prince Lian's Mansion and then left. The emperor and Cang Minglang looked at her back with a hint of meaning in their eyebrows.
"Mingming, you have seen what she is capable of, what do you think of her?"
Cang Minglang said in a deep voice: "It is definitely not something in the pool. No lady in the capital can match it."
"The third brother's ability to marry her is really a blessing from his previous life."
The emperor was noncommittal and turned to look at him, "If she can assist you, Jingguo will be able to prosper for generations to come."
"The autumn hunt is coming soon, don't let me down."
Cang Minglang raised the corners of his lips, "I understand."
