The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan heard what Xiao Xiazi said, they said in unison: "Ice-blue butterfly?"

Xiao Xiazi nodded affirmatively and said, "In reply to the two majesties, yes, an ice-blue butterfly circled around the two young masters for a short while before dying. The two young masters were a little depressed because of this. Finally, I saw that the two young masters were really not interested, so I took them back to Yikun Palace."

When Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan heard Xiao Xia Zi's words, they looked at each other and then looked at the emperor together.

The emperor immediately ordered, "Go, Su Peisheng, go to the Imperial Garden with Xiao Xiazi and see if the ice-blue butterfly is still there."

When Su Peisheng heard the emperor's order, he hurriedly took his hapless little apprentice to the imperial garden, leaving several people in the palace waiting anxiously.

On the way, Su Peisheng looked at Xiao Xiazi, patted him hard on the head, and said in a tone of regret: "Didn't our family tell you? You should be careful in serving the Fifth Prince, how come this happened in just two days?"

Xiao Xiazi said a little aggrievedly: "Master, I have been very careful. Today, Concubine Xi brought the Seventh Prince to see the Imperial Concubine. I wanted to let them talk, so I volunteered to take the two young masters to the Imperial Garden. I never thought that I would poison the two young masters."

Su Peisheng looked at Xiao Xiazi and said, "I didn't expect that? Have you been in this palace for only one or two days? Don't you know that there is no shortage of dirty things in this palace? If anything happens to the two young masters, Master will not be able to save you even if he risks his life."

When Xiao Xiazi heard what Su Peisheng said, he begged for mercy: "Master, you can't just ignore your disciple. Please, Master, find a way to save your disciple. Your disciple doesn't want to die."

Su Peisheng sighed and said, "Master, there is nothing I can do. I just hope I can find that ice-blue butterfly and detoxify the two young masters as soon as possible."

Having said that, Su Peisheng did not hold out too much hope. If someone really wanted to murder the two princes on purpose this time, how could they leave evidence after the plan succeeded and wait for the emperor to find out about it?

Xiao Xia Zi took Su Peisheng to the place where the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince encountered the butterfly in the afternoon. Sure enough, they did not see any traces of the butterfly here.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiazi looked at Su Peisheng with a pale face and said, "Master, what should we do?"

Su Peisheng looked at the flowers around him and asked Xiao Xiazi, "Which petals did the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince pick today?"

When Xiao Xiazi heard Su Peisheng's question, he quickly took Su Peisheng to the cluster of flowers, pointed at the flowers and said to Su Peisheng: "Master, these are the two."

Seeing this, Su Peisheng picked two flowers from the bushes, then took Xiao Xia Zi back to Yiku Palace to report.

As soon as Su Peisheng and Xiao Xia Zi entered the hall, everyone in the hall looked at them, the master and disciple. Su Peisheng actually saw a glimmer of hope in the eyes of Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan.

Su Peisheng shook his head, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, in reply to the Madams, I took Xiao Xiazi to the Imperial Garden and searched carefully just now, and there is no trace of the butterfly."

As soon as Su Peisheng finished speaking, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan fell into their chairs in frustration, and the emperor frowned.

Su Peisheng looked at the reactions of the people in the hall and continued, "Xiao Xiazi took the initiative to pluck a few more petals that the Fifth and Seventh Princes had picked this afternoon, and wanted to ask the two imperial doctors to see if they could find the key."

When Xiao Xia Zi heard what Su Peisheng said, she turned to look at her master, but Su Peisheng ignored her and just knelt on the ground.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor quickly ordered Doctor Wen and Doctor Zhang, "Hurry, both of you go and take a look."

Doctor Zhang did not understand the poison that Wen Shichu was talking about. To be more precise, he had never heard of it. However, after hearing the emperor's order, he still walked up to Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi.

Wen Shichu also stood in front of Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng handed the flowers he had just picked to Wen Shichu and Doctor Zhang.

Wen Shichu and Doctor Zhang carefully examined it and found that the flower was just an ordinary calla lily.

Imperial Doctor Zhang replied confidently, "Your Majesty, this flower is a calla lily. There is nothing wrong with it. It is just that the calla lily is poisonous. If you touch it, you will become poisoned and fall into a coma. I will prescribe an antidote for the two princes."

When the emperor heard what Doctor Zhang said, he felt a little relieved and said, "Okay, Doctor Zhang, please quickly prescribe the detoxifying medicine for the two princes."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan felt a little relieved, but Nian Shilan noticed something unusual about Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu did not speak at this time, but just stood there thinking carefully, and suddenly asked anxiously: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, I wonder if Miss Yun'er is in Yikun Palace now?"

When Nian Shilan heard Wen Shichu asking about Yun'er, she was shocked. After thinking for a moment, she decided, "Songzhi, go and bring Yun'er over."

Songzhi took the order and went downstairs to find Yun'er. Wen Shichu and Nian Shilan did not speak. When the emperor heard that Wen Shichu was looking for a palace maid beside Nian Shilan, he was a little puzzled, but he did not speak either.

Yun'er was awakened by Songzhi, who brought her to Nian Shilan's bedroom. When Yun'er saw everyone in the bedroom, she bowed and said, "Your servant greets the emperor and all the ladies."

Without waiting for the emperor and Nian Shilan to speak, Wen Shichu took a few steps forward and asked, "Yun'er, do you still remember what you told me about a poison you read in a book that would cause people to fall into a deep sleep after being poisoned. The longer the poisoning lasts, the shorter the time they are awake each day, and they will eventually die of kidney failure?"

Yun'er nodded woodenly, looked at Wen Shichu, and asked in confusion: "I remember, what's wrong?"

Wen Shichu asked again: "Do you still remember what mixture this poison is made of?"

Although Yun'er was puzzled, she still answered habitually: "Calla Lily and Chunmengxiang."

When Nian Shilan heard Yun'er talking about Calla Lily, she quickly asked, "Doctor Wen, do you disagree with what Doctor Zhang said?"

Wen Shichu turned around and looked at Nian Shilan and reported, "In reply to the Imperial Noble Consort, I am just a little worried that the wrong diagnosis will delay the treatment of the two princes."

The emperor didn't know that Yun'er knew medicine. Before he could speak, he heard Nian Shilan's anxious tone, but with a hint of trust, "Yun'er, do you understand the poison you just mentioned?"

Yun'er nodded affirmatively and said, "To answer your Majesty's question, my father once met a person who was poisoned by that kind of poison. Since the poison was very rare, my father asked me to help with the diagnosis and treatment."

Nian Shilan heard Yun'er's words and said, "Then you come and check the pulse of the Fifth Prince."
