Chapter 194 It’s Time to Silence the Witness

Because she had to detoxify Gong Liancheng, Yuan Ziying became busy again and stayed in the palace for three days without leaving the palace.

She knew that she was afraid of death, and she also knew that two fists were no match for four palms. Because of her treatment of the emperor, she had become a thorn in the queen's side.

If the queen kept sending people to assassinate her, she would not be able to escape unscathed every time, and even if she did not die, she would inevitably be injured.

After all, no one can guarantee that Lu Mingxuan's men will not make a mistake.

So she has been staying in Prince Duan's Mansion these past few days, and no matter who in the palace comes to send messages, they will be left to Lu Mingxuan to deal with it.

She didn't care about the situation in the palace. She didn't care whether the prince was dead or alive. She only focused on preparing the antidote.

Three days later, Gong Liancheng was detoxified for the second time.

This time, the detoxification method is no longer snake, but Gu.

Before detoxifying, Yuan Ziying ordered everyone to go out, but Lu Mingxuan was worried and insisted on staying.

Yuan Ziying looked unhappy: "The way to detoxify is a bit difficult. You staying here will not help at all except worry."

"I want to see it with my own eyes." After Lu Mingxuan finished speaking, he seemed to be worried that Yuan Ziying might misunderstand something, so he quickly added, "Men and women are not intimate. I don't want my woman to be in the same room with other men."

Yuan Ziying felt a chill all over her body.

His woman?

How shameless.

While thinking about how Lu Mingxuan would die in the future, Yuan Ziying became more and more certain that there must be an ulterior relationship between Lu Mingxuan and Gong Liancheng.

That's why she cares about him so much, fearing that she might take advantage of him and do something she shouldn't do to Gong Liancheng.

But what if he stares closely?

Yuan Ziying took out a bottle from her sleeve, poured the pills in the bottle into her palm, and calmly handed it to Lu Mingxuan for a look: "This is an antidote pill."

An antidote pill wrapped with poison.

Lu Mingxuan's eyes flashed slightly: "How many detoxification pills are there?"

Yuan Ziying hummed: "This is the only one. It took me a lot of effort to prepare it. Don't be greedy."

Lu Mingxuan originally wanted her to try one pill first, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent. His eyes fell on the detoxification pill, his eyes dark and unclear.

There is only one detoxification pill, and it will be gone after you take it.

It may take another seven days to develop another one.

Seven days was too long, and there were many variables. He couldn't afford to wait.

But if there is something wrong with this detoxification pill...

"What's wrong?" Yuan Ziying saw him in a daze and looked at him in confusion, "What's the problem?"

Lu Mingxuan came back to his senses, with a smile on his face: "No problem. After taking this detoxification pill, the general's poison will be completely cured?"

Yuan Ziying nodded: "Absolutely. However, detoxification is a bit harmful to the body and makes people weak, so after detoxification, you have to drink decoction for a few days to nourish the body."

Lu Mingxuan saw her open expression and no scheming in her eyebrows. He felt slightly relieved and nodded slowly: "Yes."

Yuan Ziying walked over, opened Gong Liancheng's mouth, put the detoxification pill into his mouth, and closed his jaw to help him swallow the medicine.

After that, Yuan Ziying walked to a chair aside and sat down, waiting quietly, occasionally admiring her not-slender fingers.

Time passed little by little.

Gong Liancheng, who was originally unconscious, suddenly stood up and lay on the bedside, spitting out a mouthful of black blood: "Pfft!"

"Liancheng!" Lu Mingxuan stepped forward and held his shoulders, "Are you awake?"

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough cough..." Gong Liancheng coughed so hard that he almost coughed out all his internal organs.

After finally calming down for a while, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He turned pale in pain and gritted his teeth.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingxuan was surprised, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Ziying sat aside and when she saw Lu Mingxuan's anxious expression, the corners of her mouth curled up imperceptibly.

I have never seen two men so close to each other.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this detoxification pill is a bit strong, and the pain will probably last as long as one stick of incense."

The little bug's favorite thing is blood.

Gong Liancheng suddenly vomited blood, and the bugs in his body sensed the breath, and they were just getting restless now.

But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether it hurts today or how long it lasts.

The important thing is that he may have an attack at any time in the future, and the attack will be excruciatingly painful.

Yuan Ziying knew that Lu Mingxuan had many things to discuss with him, so she left voluntarily and wisely.

Gong Liancheng leaned against the bed, looking at the girl's petite back, his eyes darkened, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes: "The poison has been cured, is it time to silence her?"

Lu Mingxuan frowned: "Keep her to control the prince in the palace——"

"Your Highness is confused?" Gong Liancheng's eyes were cold and unpredictable. "If the prince's poisoning has anything to do with her, she should be silenced so that the prince's poison can never be cured, or he will die directly from the poison."

Lu Mingxuan thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

As long as the prince dies, the throne can only belong to him. No matter how unwilling the queen is, it will not help.

He nodded slowly: "Although your poison has been cured, the harm to your body is not small. You will have to drink the decoction for a few days. Let's wait until your body recovers for a few days."

Gong Liancheng said nothing more and tried to get out of bed and take two steps. His lower body was weak, his legs were weak, and he could hardly stand. His body was indeed very weak.

Gong Liancheng had been on the battlefield for several years and was very vigilant. He knew that the nights were long and there were many dreams, so he didn't want to leave Yuan Ziying as a variable.

He said: "Ordinary doctors can also prescribe medicines that nourish the body."

"Stay for a few days." Lu Mingxuan frowned slightly, "I am always worried that you will have another accident. If no one treats you, it will be too late to regret."

Gong Liancheng leaned back on the bed again, his tone heavy: "I always feel that the situation is not right recently."

"The struggle for the throne has always been like this." Lu Mingxuan turned around and poured him a cup of tea, his voice light, "Father has already become suspicious of the queen and her son. As long as you are in better health, you can personally dispatch troops into the city and contain the imperial guards in the palace. Then I can go to the palace to see my father without any scruples and ask him to draft an edict to pass the throne to me."

Gong Liancheng asked: "What if the emperor disagrees?"

Lu Mingxuan narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a determined light: "Father will agree."
