Chapter 407 Ghost Star
After hearing Shen Yiyi's question, Shang Zhanchen came back to his senses.
"Do you feel like something is wrong?"
"Something's wrong?" Shen Yiyi looked at the man, then looked at the corpses lying on the ground.
"Something's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Shang Zhanchen looked at Shen Yiyi again. Could it be that she had discovered it too?
"Well... the pills they take are not made by everyone. I think there must be a master with great medical skills behind the scenes."
Shen Yiyi looked at the man and pointed at the corpses lying on the ground. Since coming here, she has never met anyone who can make pills.
Even Lao Sun, who was known as a miracle doctor, did not know the art of alchemy, so she thought that there was someone behind the scenes who knew how to make alchemy.
Not only is he powerful, but he might be the same as herself. He must be a soul that traveled here. It is even possible that he is from Tianling Country like her.
She might even know him. After all, in Tianling Country, the only people who could make elixirs were people from the Poison Doctor Sect and the Divine Doctor Sect.
Seeing that their master didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was thinking differently from the Crown Princess, so Jiang Zuo, Jiang You and the others also came over.
"Master, do you have any other ideas?"
After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, Shang Zhanchen looked at the corpses lying in front of him.
"Don't you think they are deliberately delaying us today?"
At first, there were only a dozen people who tried to intercept them. Later, when they saw that they failed, dozens of more people came out.
Later, they came out in batches, not all of them. In his opinion, they didn’t want to kill them.
They wanted to stop them and delay time. After hearing what their master said, Jiang You and the others also thought about it seriously.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his master was right. Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned in the direction of the palace.
"not good!"
There must be someone who wanted to delay them and didn't want them to return to the palace. Could something have happened in the palace? Several people quickly returned.
At this moment, Master Zhang and the Emperor were standing outside the Queen's door, waiting anxiously.
"Please hurry up, Queen. If you are late, the evil spirit will probably escape." Master Zhang held a compass in his hand.
As he spoke, he walked back and forth towards the Queen's bedroom. Today was a full moon night, and the Queen must have been poisoned by the strange beast.
She had to go in quickly and let the emperor see her transformation into a beast. He would then definitely think that the queen was a monster, and her position as queen would be over.
"Master Zhang, my queen has already gone to bed. Please wait a moment." Nanny Lin said respectfully.
But I always felt that something was wrong. If it was really as the National Master said, why didn’t I come here earlier?
But now that the emperor was following her, she couldn't say anything.
Before Master Zhang could say something else, the door behind Nanny Lin opened.
"Mammy, the Queen has woken up."
"Okay." Nanny Lin agreed and then respectfully stepped aside.
Master Zhang walked in impatiently, holding the compass in his hand, and pretended to gesture in various directions.
He walked into the queen's bedroom and saw the queen sitting there. He was stunned at first, then hurriedly bowed.
"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."
He secretly glanced at the queen again and was shocked. How could this happen?
According to his calculations, today was the day when the queen became unpredictable due to the poison. She should be a queen covered in hair, cruel and violent.
But at this moment she was just sitting here quietly, without any abnormality, and without any appearance of animalization. How was this possible?
Could it be that someone had cured her poison? That was impossible, absolutely impossible. No one in their sect of poison doctors could cure the poison.
The only explanation is that the Queen was not poisoned at all, and no one knows how Concubine Lan's people did it.
"Please stand up, Imperial Master." The Queen pinched her dizzy head, stood up and was about to salute the Emperor.
"My concubine has seen..."
"No need to be so polite, Queen." The emperor interrupted her and looked at her with concern.
"Is the Queen feeling unwell?"
He hadn't thought of bringing the Imperial Master here so late at night, but the Imperial Master said that there was an evil spirit in the Queen's palace.
In order to prevent the queen from getting hurt, he came here in a hurry.
"I am fine. I just drank a bowl of soothing soup and fell into a deep sleep."
The queen pinched her drowsy forehead again. Ever since she took Yiyi's calming soup, she has been sleeping very well.
She goes to bed early every day, and it is really torturous to wake her up suddenly.
"I wonder if the Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor have something important to tell you that has brought them here so late at night?" She looked at the compass in the Imperial Preceptor's hand again.
The Emperor brought the Imperial Preceptor here so late at night. Could something have happened to her?
"Your Highness, I observed the stars tonight and found that the evil star is close to the East Palace. I am worried that something bad might happen to you, so I informed the Emperor and came here with me."
"Oh? Did the Imperial Master see anything?" The Queen suddenly became alert.
She didn't expect such a thing to happen, but she had been able to eat and sleep well recently and didn't feel anything wrong with her body.
"Let me check it carefully." Master Zhang shook the compass in his hand and pretended to count the money in the room.
I was greatly shocked. Looking at the Queen's face just now, there was indeed no sign of poison taking effect. It seemed that she was not poisoned.
It has been shown to the Emperor before, and he is not poisoned. I don't know how Concubine Lan's subordinates did things.
In that case, I can only do it myself. Thinking of this, I arrived at the queen's bedside.
He stopped walking, pointed at the bed with the compass in his hand, closed his eyes, and muttered something in a confident tone for a while.
She gestured on the bed with her other hand for a while before turning to look at Nanny Lin.
"Go get two bowls of water."
"Yes." Nanny Lin hurriedly ordered someone to bring two bowls of water.
Master Zhang took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, poured a little powder into each bowl, then picked them up and shook them, then placed them in front of the emperor and the empress.
"To prevent evil spirits from disturbing the emperor and empress, please drink these two bowls of water."
Looking at the slightly turbid water in front of them, the emperor and the empress did not suspect anything and simply took it in their hands and drank it with their necks tilted back.
Seeing that they had drunk all the water, Master Zhang raised his lips with a hint of pride.
"..."
As long as the sub-gu are cultivated, they will completely listen to you.
When Shen Yiyi and Shang Zhanchen returned to the palace, they did not find anything unusual, but they always felt that something was strange.
After asking carefully, he found out that the emperor and the imperial teacher were in the queen's palace, so he hurried over.
I saw that my father and the imperial teacher were indeed in the queen's bedroom.
"Father, why did you come to my mother's palace so late? What happened?"
Shang Zhanchen looked at the emperor and Master Zhang with concern. His father brought a man from outside to his mother's palace so late.
I thought it must be something important. When I thought about what happened in the alley just now, I became very worried.
"Oh, the Imperial Master said that the evil spirit star intends to move, and the Emperor is worried about your mother, so he came here with the Imperial Master to take a look."
"Ghost Star!" Shang Zhanchen frowned and looked at Master Zhang.
"Your Highness, I observed the stars at night and found that the evil star was approaching the harem. I was afraid that it might endanger the queen, so I came here with the emperor to investigate."
Master Zhang looked very respectful.
“……”Shen Yiyi.
This person smells strongly of medicinal elixirs.
