Lin Yunxi's face turned pale and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Who, who gave such a despicable poison? Golden silkworm poison? My mother has been poisoned!" Lin Yunxi's face was filled with tears, and tears were falling down.

"Yunxi, don't worry, can you detoxify this poison?" Queen Rong looked at her expectantly.

"There is basically no cure for this poison, and a large amount of medicinal materials are needed to develop an antidote." Lin Yunxi sat slumped on the ground.

"Daughter-in-law, you know how to detoxify, right?" Queen Rong asked hurriedly.

Lin Yunxi's face was filled with tears, and she secretly glanced at Liang Wanqiao and the Queen Mother who were sitting below.

The expressions of the two were extremely wonderful. Although Liang Wanqiao lowered her head, her chin was raised, indicating that she was smiling at the moment, while the Queen Mother's expression was complicated, with a sad look on her face, but a glimmer of expectation flashed in her eyes.

"Don't worry, mother. Although this poison requires a lot of medicinal materials and a lot of energy, Yunxi will not give up." Lin Yunxi said and glanced at the two people again.

The expressions of the two people showed surprise and expectation. I wonder if the Queen Mother was involved in this matter? Lin Yunxi suddenly thought of this question.

"That's good, my mother will make the decision for you today." Empress Rong saw the hope and lifted her daughter-in-law up from the futon. The two of them stood upright and looked down at the female family members.

At this moment, General Yan returned to the main hall after carefully searching the dormitory where the princess lived.

"Empress, the general checked the incense and candles in the dormitory where the Crown Princess lived, and found that the color of the half-burned candle was different from the candles in all the other rooms. The color of this candle was darker." Yan The general said, bringing the half-burned candle on the tray to Queen Rong.

"Mr. Hu, could you please help me check something out?" Queen Rong glanced at Dr. Hu.

"Yes, I want to light this candle again, slightly away from the center of the hall." Doctor Hu pointed to a location by the window of the hall.

"Yes!" Queen Rong agreed seriously. Do you think she is a sick cat if you dare to touch her daughter-in-law Rong Qinglan?

After Taiyi Hu fiddled with it for a while, he blew out the candle and came to Queen Rong.

"Queen, the golden silkworm poison is dissolved in this candle."

Queen Rong looked at Abbot Xuan Hong who was standing aside.

"Abbot Xuanhong, the candles for this blessing ceremony are all from your temple. Do you want to explain to me why these candles appear in the Crown Princess's dormitory?"

"Amitabha, Queen, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I will ask someone to find out which disciple was responsible for the candles in the Crown Princess' room yesterday." Abbot Xuan Hong clasped his hands together and saluted respectfully.

"Then there is Abbot Lao Xuanhong." Queen Rong was imposing. Something happened to her daughter-in-law in the temple today, and the temple cannot escape this responsibility.

Soon, the middle-aged monk next to Abbot Xuanhong came back and took out a book to record the details of each disciple's division of labor yesterday.

The disciple who was responsible for handling the candles and charcoal fires in the dormitories of the three most noble women yesterday was named Hui Ke.

"Where is Huike?" Abbot Xuanhong asked the middle-aged monk beside him.

"Go back to the abbot, I just sent someone to look for him, but he couldn't be found."

Abbot Xuanhong frowned slightly, it seemed that Huike was causing trouble.

Not long after, several monks carried the unconscious Huike to the main hall.

Huike's lips were purple and his body was huddled up as he was lifted up.

"Abbott, who is this?" Queen Rong asked doubtfully.

"Going back to the Queen Mother, this disciple is Hui Ke who was responsible for the candles and charcoal fires in the rooms of the Queen Mother, Queen Mother and Crown Princess yesterday. I am also wondering why he looks like this." Xuan Hong glanced at the few people carrying Hui Ke over. One of the disciples.

The disciple understood and said respectfully.

"Back to the abbot, we found Huike in the firewood shed in a small courtyard behind the remote kitchen. He was lying motionless on the ground, his whole body was cold, but fortunately, he was still breathing."

"Mr. Hu, save the man. He may be a witness." Queen Rong ordered.

Liang Wanqiao below could not sit still when she saw the young monk named Hui Ke being carried into the main hall. She did not expect that the Crown Princess would faint in the main hall, nor did she expect that an imperial doctor would diagnose golden silkworm poison. I thought that the candle was only half burned after burning all night, and I didn't expect that Monk Huike was left alive in the cold woodshed.

Her hands began to shake unconsciously, and she felt a heavy breath in her heart, not knowing what to do.

Dr. Hu's medical skills were really good. He asked Huike to drink warm salt and sugar water. After applying an injection to one of Huike's acupuncture points, Huike's lips, which were still purple just now, slowly returned to rosy.

He ordered someone to bring Huike a thick quilt to wrap him up, and then fed him some warm water. It didn't take long for Huike to wake up.

The moment Huike opened his eyes, he saw himself wrapped in a quilt in the main hall. The abbot and all the female relatives in the hall were staring at him. He hurriedly threw away the quilt and knelt down.

"Abbott, did this disciple disturb the little prince's blessing ceremony?"

Speaking of the little prince, Queen Rong suddenly thought of something, took Lin Yunxi's arm and asked.

"Yunxi, did the little prince sleep in the same room with you last night?"

"Yes, Queen Mother." Lin Yunxi had forgotten about this.

"Is the little prince also poisoned?" Queen Rong was frightened a lot today.

"Queen, please rest assured, the golden silkworm poison is not effective on babies, it only works on adult men and women who are in love." Doctor Hu said respectfully.

"Mr. Hu, are you sure?" Queen Rong still couldn't believe it.

"I'm sure, infants and young children are full of yang energy, and golden silkworm poison is an extremely yin poison. Babies' yang energy can avoid this extremely yin poison." Dr. Hu explained seriously.

"Yunxi, is this true?" Queen Rong still asked Lin Yunxi worriedly.

"Yes, Queen Mother, golden silkworm poison is ineffective against Ze'er." She gave a firm answer.

At this moment, a loud voice sounded outside.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

"What golden silkworm poison? Mother, what happened?" Murong Hao ignored the salutes given to him by the female family members below, and he rushed to the top of the hall with an anxious look on his face.

"Prince, the Crown Princess has been poisoned by golden silkworms." Queen Rong said, not daring to look at her son.

"Poisoned, Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" Murong Hao held Lin Yunxi's shoulders with both hands and looked her up and down with a worried look on his face.

"Your Highness, no, my concubine's head suddenly hurts." Lin Yunxi shook his head with a painful expression.

"Hao'er, please stay away from the Crown Princess first. She is poisoned by golden silkworms and you can't touch her, otherwise she will suffer to death." Queen Rong's eyes were full of pain.

Murong Hao let go of his hands, glanced at his woman anxiously, and then looked at Doctor Hu.

"Mr. Hu, please tell me, what is the poison of golden silkworm poison?" His voice was as cold as ice, like an ice cone under an iceberg that cannot melt all year round.

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was angry, Doctor Hu once again explained the toxicity of golden silkworm poison.

After Murong Hao heard Doctor Hu's explanation, his veins suddenly popped out, and he punched the incense altar behind him, causing the incense ashes on the copper incense altar to scatter to the ground.

"Very good, my crown prince and his concubine dare to touch the iron cavalry. As soon as the palace gate is closed, the murderer will not be found today. No one can leave the palace gate."

Murong Hao glanced fiercely at the female family members below, and finally his eyes fell on the trembling Liang Wanqiao. If this woman dared to attack Xi'er, he would never be merciful.

Lin Yunxi didn't expect Murong Hao to come suddenly. He was not included in her plan, but he was here, so let's continue the show.
