136. Poison

Since they knew where they were, they had an idea where to go and what to do.

Han Tingxuan had learned that he could trust Tian Yusu more.

When Tian Yusu heard the truth of the Emperor's being poisoned and the late crown prince being killed, the anger in Tian Yusu’s eyes was not fake.

If he was that good at acting, Han Tingxuan would have nothing to do with it either!

However, he believed in his judgment.

His martial arts might be very weak, not comparable to Han, but he had confidence in his judgment. If he turned out to be wrong, he would be willing to bear the consequences!

About an hour later, Han Tingxuan and the rest returned to the county office.

Official Wang and Sun Yuan were waiting there. They sounded like they were worried about Han Tingxuan and others. But they were asking if they had found a clue. Han Tingxuan dismissed them, then walked away with Tian Yusu.

After taking a shower, Han Tingxuan lay on the bed. At this time, Shadow 17 sent a message.

It was from Mo Yanzhi. To prevent these letters from being intercepted halfway, Mo Yanzhi did not write it himself. So the person who sent the news was also a secret guard.

The report was the same as Tian Yusuye said. It reported that Consort Lou was pregnant, plus some reactions from various families.

The three big families didn't make a big move. The rest was a little more interesting.

They gathered together to congratulate the emperor, some kept watching, and some even cursed.

Han Tingxuan was speechless.

Although his male wife didn't write it himself, it was about the same!

Han Tingxuan realized that he missed his male wife more and more…

What was Mo Yanzhi doing at this time? He was not doing very well now…

Today, he found that he felt a little uncomfortable with his belly. He was almost three months pregnant and for the first time, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, when he thought about it thoroughly, he hadn't done anything special these days. He wasn't even tired. How could he feel uncomfortable?

Ever since he woke up in the morning, he only felt a little uncomfortable, but not the feeling of nausea.

In the afternoon, the uncomfortable feeling eased. He thought he was fine, so he didn't see Shen Fangde.  But after dinner, the uncomfortable feeling became stronger.

So, Mo Yanzhi sold them to get Shen Fangde.

After Lou Yanqing was "pregnant", as Han Tingxuan suggested, Mo Yanzhi stopped having meals at Lou Yanqing’s place in case someone was about to poison Lou Yanqing. He did not even sleepover at Lou Yanqing's place in case he was endangered because of Lou Yanqing.

So, after announcing that Lou Yanqing was “pregnant”, Mo Yanzhi awarded him a lot of things, but he did not spend the night at Lou Yangqing’s place. He used the baby as an excuse.

Mo Yanzhi was also very considerate and cared much about Lou Yanqing. Although the emperor did not sleep over at Lou Yanqing’s place, he had never been to anyone else's palace. These days, he had slept in his dormitory.

However, Mo Yanzhi would visit Lou Yanqing every day because he would show his affection towards Lou Yanqing to others.

Shen Fangde came. After the diagnosis, he started to sweat immediately.

"Your Majesty, it is…Full Grass."

Mo Yanzhi was shocked because he knew what Full Grass was. It was just like the safflower, but safflower was a poison to cause abortion, but Full Grass was a poison that could cause an abortion just by touching it while safflower had to be taken orally.

Therefore, this grass is much more vicious than the safflower!

However, Full Grass was more potent in poison effect than safflower.

After a pause, Mo Yanzhi was enraged. "What? Full Grass? My son.. "

He was outraged and shocked. Mo Yanzhi covered his belly.

"Fortunately, your internal force is powerful, and the amount of grass was probably enough. Although you touched a little, my guess is, you did not touch it directly."

Mo Yanzhi suddenly stood up. "Consort Lou!"

Shen Fangde also thought of it, "Your Majesty, allow me to prescribe a set of medicine for you. Your health is the priority."

Mo Yanzhi calmed down. He immediately nodded. "Please do it now."

The medicine was prepared quickly. Mo Yanzhi knew that he should immediately go to see Consort Lou. But he didn't dare take the risk. Although he was feeling just a little uncomfortable now, he was not sure what would happen if he went. There was a risk that he might be in danger.

His son was the most important. Besides, Full Grass was harmless to people who were not pregnant.

After the medicine was ready, Mo Yanzhi finished the medicine and then took two more fruits until he felt warm in his belly. Then he asked the secret guard to take the doctor to Lou Yanqing's place.

Before this, he had already sent Zhou You over to bestow Lou Yanqing gifts.

Lou Yanqing’s people needed to gather together to receive the emperor’s bestowing, which made it easier for the doctor to search the rooms.

But surprisingly, the doctor did not find anything unusual in Lou Yanqing's room. Instead, he found abnormalities in the big room that the she-man servants lived.

There were three rooms that Lou Yanqing’s she-man servants shared. Three she-man servants shared one room.

The doctor found the leftover of Full Grass in one of the rooms. It was actually in a wallet!

The doctor took away their wallet. As soon as Zhou You received the signal from the secret guard, he announced the end of the receiving emperor’s gifts. And they left.

Soon, the secret guard found out that the owner of the wallet was someone sent by Han Tingxuan!

That she-man was the beautiful she-man Mo Yanzhi told a secret guard to get for Han Tingxuan that day.

Han Tingxuan refused the she-man. Therefore, the she-man was sent to Lou Yanqing that day so that Lou Yanqing could keep an eye on him.

The reason why the secret guard decided to get this very she-man for Han Tingxuan in the first place was that he had been trained properly to work secretly.

In the end, the she-man held a grudge because he was disgraced of being turned down and he had not lived very well since he was sent to Lou Yanqing. This was why he did this.

After knowing who poisoned him, Mo Yanzhi was regretful. If he did not take the liberty to get a she-man for Han Tingxuan, none of this would have happened. Thankful, his baby was healthy. Otherwise, Mo Yanzhi would have killed himself.

If something happened to the child because of his mistake, how could he explain it to his husband?

However, they had found the owner of the wallet, but they were not sure who he worked for!

The Full Grass was not poisoned him without a reason.  If someone was behind the she-man, it was important to trace him down.

About half an hour later Zhou You left, Consort Lou suddenly screamed because his belly hurt.

The palace was completely in chaos and everyone was shocked.

Soon, the news was spread to Mo Yanzhi's ears. Mo Yanzhi rushed to Consort Lou as quickly as possible, along with Doctor Shen who was brought over by the secret guard.

Doctor Shen was shocked to diagnose that Consort Lou was poisoned with Full Grass. He chased everyone out and tried his best to save Consort Lou. It took him two whole hours to finally save the baby.

However, the emperor's anger was not calmed. After a thorough investigation, the she-man's rooms were searched and the wallet was found.

Thus, the murderer was caught. The she-man denied it was his wallet.

But who would believe him?!

Thus, the she-man was taken away for interrogation.

The Emperor was so angry that he slapped a few she-man servants in the palace. Fortunately, they didn't die.

The she-man quickly confessed that it was Consort Lin who made him poison Consort Lou.

However, he had destroyed the poison leftover after using it. Why was the leftover still in the wallet?

Mo Yanzhi guessed the reason. This servant she-man was used by Consort Lin who was also used by someone else!

The emperor was so angry to out Consort Lin into a desert palace.

Who would have taken advantage of Consort Lin? The emperor investigated but there was no result.

Was there no result? No! There was a result. Because the result was Empress Sun.

However, Mo Yanzhi knew that this was not the time to confront Empress Sun. If he did anything to harm Empress Sun, the Sun family would be driven mad. In that case, Han Tingxuan would be in danger in the State of Qing!

So, Mo Yanzhi pretended not to know anything.

That night, a concubine in the imperial palace was relegated to a deserted palace. The news that Consort’s baby was almost dead quickly spread among the officials.

Everyone's reactions varied. However, they could see the morning court the next day would not be peaceful!

At the same time, in a certain palace, someone dropped a teacup.

"Damn it! Why is the child still alive? Damn it!” This person was driven so crazy that his good-looking face was twisted.

People outside were silent.

The person smashed everything in the room angrily before falling on the big bed…

"Lou Yanqing, Lou Yanqing, I won't let you go, I won't let you go..."

He muttered to himself. He did not realize how ugly a face he was making because of extreme anger.
