After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 156: Can Yueer stay to take care of Aunt Huai'an?

I want to laugh but dare not.

I was afraid that the angry little girl in my arms would explode...

This, this, this... is really... strange.

Why is Huai'an licking Yue'er's shoes?

Emperor Jianxi was on the throne for thirty-three years and had seen many strange things, but none as strange as today.

It’s so strange...Emperor Jianxi knew that he should stop Huai’an, but...he couldn’t open his mouth.

While Emperor Jianxi was hesitating, Zhao Yao, who had been licking shoes crazily, suddenly paused, then slowly raised his head, his eyes dull, with shoe dirt from Shangguan Qingyue's soles still hanging on the corners of his mouth...

Her lips moved, and then her body trembled, and a line of black blood slid down the corner of her mouth.

The people around were horrified.

Zhao Yao squeezed out a few words from her throat, and then fell straight to the ground.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shangguan Qingyue.

Because what Zhao Yao said was...

"The shoes... are... poisonous..."

【Your shoes are poisonous!!】

Emperor Jianxi immediately had Zhao Yao carried back to Zhongcui Palace and then called the imperial physician.

The maids and eunuchs were busy working until the person was carried away.

Emperor Jianxi stood there, holding Shangguan Qingyue, still thinking about what Zhao Yao said before she fainted.

Are the shoes toxic?

How can shoes be poisonous?

Emperor Jianxi suddenly had an idea and thought of something.

I heard before that the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty had a shameful quirk. He liked women's feet, especially the three-inch golden lotus feet of elderly ladies. The fuller the smell, the more the deposed emperor liked it. Therefore, the deposed emperor's harem set a historical precedent... they were all a group of old ladies with white hair and chicken skin.

Historians called it foot fetishism.

Could it be that Huai'an is also a foot fetishist?

Emperor Jianxi couldn't help but look at Shangguan Qingyue, thinking of Shangguan Bailin's feet... Could it be that Yue'er's feet were also...

When Emperor Jianxi thought of this, he suddenly became worried. Oh, it’s okay for men to have smelly feet, but Yue’er is a little girl, and her feet are so smelly. How can she find a husband in the future?

Well...if anyone dares to complain about his granddaughter's smelly feet, he will chop off his nose!

Emperor Jianxi was thinking about this when his dragon robe was suddenly tugged by someone.

[Grandfather, can we go see Aunt Huai'an? ]

Emperor Jianxi sighed, thinking that his little granddaughter was really innocent and kind. She was so angry just now that she wanted to kill Huai'an, but now she was concerned about him again.

Emperor Jianxi nodded. Even if she didn't say anything, he would still go and see what was going on.

Emperor Jianxi agreed readily.

"it is good!"

I didn't notice the strange light that flashed across Shangguan Qingyue's eyes.

【Jie jie jie jie……】

[Aunt Huai'an, are you afraid of licking my shoes...]

Zhongcui Palace.

Emperor Jianxi held Shangguan Qingyue in his arms and came to Zhao Yao's bedside and asked, "How is Princess Huai'an?"

A group of imperial doctors knelt in a circle, not daring to raise their heads. The head of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Xing, said in horror: "Your Majesty, Princess Huai'an has indeed been poisoned, and it is the most potent 'Genpi Dengtui Powder'!"

Emperor Jianxi frowned and his face darkened when he heard this. Was he really poisoned?

It's not Yue'er's feet...

Shangguan Qingyue pursed his lips, expressionless.

On the other hand, Concubine Shu, who was wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief, was stunned for a moment when she heard the words. She was probably wondering how her own poison had entered her mouth...Yao'er was too careless!

Emperor Jianxi had never heard of "Genpi Dengtui Powder", so he asked in a deep voice: "What is this medicine?"

Imperial Physician Xing answered truthfully, "Your Majesty, this is a poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood. It is three times more poisonous than the poison of the red cross! This drug is colorless and odorless. Even the coroner cannot find out what it is when it is used to harm people... Fortunately, Princess Huai'an did not take much, so she still has a glimmer of hope. But if there is no antidote..."

Imperial Physician Xing and a group of other imperial physicians apologized together, "Forgive me for my inability to cure this poison!"

When Concubine Shu saw this, she suddenly started howling.

"My poor Yao'er, who on earth wants to harm you?"

She knelt down in front of Emperor Jianxi, tears welling up in her eyes, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for Yao'er!"

Emperor Jianxi frowned and shouted, "How dare you! Who dares to poison my daughter in the palace?"

"Wu Yonggui! Go check now! Find out where this poison came from!"

Wu Yonggui looked at Concubine Shu in embarrassment, then bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, there is no need to check. I know about this matter..."

Concubine Shu was shocked, and fearing that Wu Yonggui would ruin her good deeds, she shouted, "Wu Yonggui, stop talking nonsense!"

Emperor Jianxi ignored Concubine Shu and asked Wu Yonggui directly, "You say!"

"This... 'Genpi Kicking Powder' is actually something from the Zhong Cui Palace."

"Oh? Is this happening?"

"This powder was originally made by Master Wufa of Pixia Temple and given to Princess Huai'an. There were rats in my house before, and a maid in Zhongcui Palace heard about it and stole some for me to poison the rats..."

Emperor Jianxi looked at Concubine Shu again.

Concubine Shu lowered her head guiltily.

Emperor Jianxi didn't understand what it meant.

He sneered in his heart. Was Concubine Shu trying to take advantage of the opportunity to frame someone after what she did just now?

Emperor Jianxi did not dislike scheming people in his life, but he disliked such stupid and vicious women.

Emperor Jianxi could no longer hide his impatience.

He asked sternly, "Shufei, is this true?"

Concubine Shu had no way to defend herself, so she had to admit it, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it is true..."

"But...but if someone hadn't poisoned it, why would Huai'an take it even though he knew it was poison?"

Emperor Jianxi sneered, "That makes me wonder what you and your daughter are thinking!"

When Concubine Shu heard that Emperor Jianxi's tone was not right, she looked up and said helplessly, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Oh," Emperor Jianxi was holding a child in his arms, so it was inconvenient for him to swing his sleeves like before, but it didn't stop him from being cool. He said sternly, "I am old, not stupid!"

"Don't think I can't see what you and your daughter are thinking!"

"If you can't learn to be content, I will make you be content!"

[Wow... Your Majesty is so cool... I admire you so much! ]

Shangguan Qingyue's flattery made Emperor Jianxi's anger subside a little, and his tone became a little softer. He stared at Concubine Shu, who was lying on the ground, shaking, and not daring to look up, and said, "Since it's the poison in your palace, why don't you give Huai'an the antidote?!"

After hearing this, Concubine Shu came to her senses and immediately called the eunuch with a trembling voice, "Little Shouzi... why don't you... bring... the antidote..."

"Your servant... obeys your order..."

Not long after, Emperor Jianxi saw Zhao Yao take the antidote with his own eyes, and asked Imperial Physician Xing to examine her. Imperial Physician Xing said, "Your Majesty, Princess Huai'an's poison has been eliminated, but there is still some residual poison in her body, which needs to be slowly expelled... I will prescribe some detoxifying medicine for you, and you can take it three times a day."

Next to him, Imperial Physician Li said, "Your Majesty, I can give the princess acupuncture and moxibustion, which can also help remove toxins."

Emperor Jianxi accepted all of the advice and asked Imperial Physician Xing to prescribe a prescription. Imperial Physician Li stayed to perform acupuncture. After giving all the instructions, he was about to take Shangguan Qingyue away.

Just as he was about to leave, Shangguan Qingyue grabbed the dragon robe.

Emperor Jianxi looked at Shangguan Qingyue.

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes were round and dazed, and she looked very cute. She pointed at Zhao Yao on the bed and then at herself, using her little hand to gesture, "Grandfather, can you let Yue'er stay and take care of Aunt Huai'an?"
