Chapter 496 Lover Gu
After taking the truth pill, Lian Ye's eyes became noticeably dull.
"I want to ask you, has the mung bean soup sent by Feng Chun been replaced when it passed through your hands?"
"I changed it."
"Who instructed you to do that? Was there any poison in the mung bean soup you replaced?"
"Madame Han asked me to do this. I was only responsible for changing the mung bean soup. I don't know if it was poisoned."
"Do you know who this Nanny Han works for?"
"Madame Han and I both obey the orders of the King of Han."
When asked this, Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo looked at each other in shock.
They never expected that Lian Ye was actually the spy arranged by Xiao Zhengde to be by his side.
"Were you the King of Han's man when you came to serve the Emperor?"
"Yes, I am a spy specially trained by the King of Han according to the Emperor's preferences. There are several palace maids with me, and they all work for other royal relatives."
Hearing Lian Ye say this, Ye Jintang felt a chill down his spine. Xiao Zhengde had actually been planning a big game many years ago. That is to say, no matter who ascended the throne, he would be able to place spies on the new emperor.
It's terrifying to think about the depth of his thoughts.
"Jiang Heng, do you know who this Nanny Han that Lian Ye is talking about is?"
"I know that Lianye has a fellow villager named Han who works in the tea room."
"Go and bring the person here quickly."
"Yes."
Jiang Heng was a quick man and ran back in just a cup of tea.
It’s a pity that he didn’t bring Nanny Han back. Just now when Ye Jintang was interrogating Lian Ye, Nanny Han committed suicide by taking poison.
"My lady, I found this piece of paper on Madam Han."
Jiang Heng handed over a small square piece of paper the size of a fingernail with water stains on it on a wooden tray.
It's so small that it doesn't look like it's filled with poison, but it's quite strange to see it on Nanny Han.
Ye Jintang's sense of smell was much stronger than that of ordinary people. As soon as she brought the small piece of paper close to her nostrils, she could faintly smell a strange medicinal smell. The smell was either strange or weird.
"Master, if you smell it, you can recognize the smell."
Sister Mu took the small piece of paper and smelled it carefully.
"The smell of the medicine above is very strange. It doesn't taste like the medicine we have in the Central Plains. It's more like the medicine in Southern Xinjiang."
Hearing what Master Mu said, Ye Jintang's expression suddenly became serious.
There are many tribes in southern Xinjiang who are good at using poisons, and the types of poisons are varied and numerous.
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo who had just recovered. He had just vomited heavily and his face looked a little bad at the moment.
"Your Majesty, let me feel your pulse again."
Ye Jintang was really afraid that Xiao Mo had been poisoned by a poison that she couldn't detect.
"I'm fine. I just drank a mouthful of mung bean soup and suddenly my stomach started churning. I vomited out all the mung bean soup I just drank. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"It's better to be careful."
While Ye Jintang was taking Xiao Mo's pulse, Xia Ying was extremely anxious.
She was not sure whether the love poison had worked or not.
If what Lian Ye said happened, Xiao Mo would be close to her and treat her as the love of his life, then she would be able to rise to prominence and enjoy unlimited wealth and glory.
Thinking of this, Xia Ying glanced at Lian Ye who had a dazed expression. Just now, Ye Jintang only asked Lian Ye about the poisoning and did not ask about her. If Lian Ye let the cat out of the bag and implicated her, she would surely die.
Life and death are only a thought away. The slightly timid Xia Ying finally chooses to take a risk and test whether Xiao Mo is poisoned.
Soon Ye Jintang finished taking Xiao Mo's pulse. Xia Ying saw the right moment, snatched the teacup from the palace maid next to her, and walked towards Xiao Mo holding it in both hands.
Lover's Gu is a magical poison. When the male and female lover's Gu get close to each other for the first time, both of them will feel an inexplicable throbbing. If the male lover's Gu has never tasted the love, it may even mistakenly think that this inexplicable throbbing is love at first sight.
Xia Ying thought about the characteristics of the lover's Gu, her heart pounding. She wondered if this meant that the lover's Gu was successful.
But she forgot that when people are extremely nervous, their hearts will also beat wildly.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea to moisten your throat."
"let it go."
Xiao Mo glanced at Xia Ying and didn't take her action seriously.
Ye Jintang, who was standing by, immediately noticed something unusual.
She had only spoken a few words to Xia Ying just now and she was scared to death. Why was she suddenly coming forward to offer her tea?
"Your Majesty, it's better to drink the tea while it's hot. Although Your Majesty rinsed his mouth after vomiting just now, I'm afraid your throat is still uncomfortable. Drinking some tea will make you feel better."
As she spoke, Xia Ying moved closer to Xiao Mo. She raised her hand so high that she almost touched Xiao Mo's hand.
The more Xia Ying did this, the more Ye Jintang suspected that she had impure motives.
Suddenly she remembered that another palace maid had just said that she saw Lian Ye and Xia Ying talking together today.
"Lian Ye, are you and Xia Ying related?"
"Madame Han asked me to lead Xia Ying into the imperial study."
"Xia Ying, do you know what medicine is in the mung bean soup?"
“You should know.”
Lian Ye's words caused the teacup in Xia Ying's hand to drop to the ground with a clang.
She was shaking with fear.
"Your Majesty, I know nothing. I have admired Your Majesty for a long time, so I took the risk to come to the Imperial Study to see Your Majesty."
"is it?"
Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo with a smile.
"Nonsense, I've only met you once, and you probably don't even remember what I look like, so how can you say you love me?"
Xiao Mo, with a gloomy face, almost exploded with anger and killed Xia Ying with a knife. What nonsense was she talking about? His wife must not misunderstand him.
"Really? Then let you take the truth pill as well and see if I can get anything useful out of you."
Ye Jintang swept his sharp eyes over Xia Ying, and she collapsed to the ground in fear.
With Lian Ye around, she knew what would happen after taking the truth pill without any explanation.
She had too many secrets in her heart. If she told them in front of so many people, she would not be able to live even if Ye Jintang didn't want her life.
"Lvzhu takes the truth pill."
"Please spare me, Queen. I will tell you everything."
Xia Ying was already worried, and she broke down mentally when Ye Jintang pushed her a little. She told him everything she knew without Ye Jintang even asking her.
She told every detail clearly, including who contacted her, how she got out, and how she got to the imperial study.
When Ye Jintang heard about the lover's Gu, his heart went cold. Xiao Zhengde was really capable. He even used all the witchcraft techniques from southern Xinjiang.
"Do you know whether this love poison has been used or not?"
Xia Ying shook her head. She wasn't very clear either.
"What about the Emperor?"
Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo, his words full of worry.
"Jintang, I don't have any feelings for Xia Ying. Even if I eat that damn love poison, I still won't fall in love with other women."
Seeing Xiao Mo's nervous explanation, Ye Jintang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. Even if Your Majesty has taken the love poison, I have a way to detoxify Your Majesty."
Ye Jintang was very careful about this. She had the space spring water, and Zi Gu was a poisonous insect, so the spring water would definitely kill it.
When Zi Gu died, the so-called lover Gu was broken.
