Chapter 1330: Nothing Found

ight and I have spent some time together before. I understand her temperament. Whatever she says, once we leave this room, I guarantee I won't utter another word."Zhao Yan curled his lips into a smil...Shouer and Kang'er didn't know what had happened either. The two of them glanced at each other, immediately becoming alert. They listened intently in all directions, standing solemnly behind their own princess.

An Xuetang frowned, her right hand lightly tapping the desktop, her mind churning over recent events related to the Western Regions.

And what connection do the Ming Deng and Zhi'er have to Xiyu If they have no connection, then where did they get the Meng Han medicine of the Xiyu Evil Clan from

Such a potent sleeping drug could knock down even skilled martial artists instantly. Such a drug couldn't be obtained by ordinary people.

So, there must be some connection between Ming Deng, Zhi Er, and the Western Regions' Evil Clan.

But what she hadn't expected was that the emperor could actually find experts from the Western Regions. Was there anyone behind this, secretly advising the emperor

Ning'er led Yun Si into the house. Seeing their usually cheerful Princess display such a serious expression, both of them unconsciously furrowed their brows.

Yun Si cupped his hands together and bowed, "Your Highness, is there something you need me for"

"Outside the prince's mansion, there are people from the Western Regions. I'm afraid they all have those bright lanterns with the drug that blinds you, like the one used before. That kind of poison is strong and works quickly. Even someone with exceptional martial arts skills wouldn't be spared. So please make it clear to everyone: the incense pouches I gave out earlier must be worn at all times."

After that, she looked at Shou'er and said, "Give the previous prescription to Yun Si."

"Yes."

Shouren responded and immediately turned to find the prescription written by the former empress.

The prescription consists of two sheets. One is specifically designed for making incense sachets. The herbs inside the sachets can effectively suppress the sweating drug used by the Xirong tribe, but the potency of that sweating drug is truly formidable. Even with the herbs in the sachet, it would still have some influence.

With the sachet, even though people in their palace wouldn't pass out directly after inhaling the drug, it would definitely affect their performance.

If those sinister Westerners get a chance at that time, the people in his manor will be in danger of losing their lives.

So another prescription is an internal medicine. After taking such medicine, for at least twelve hours, they will be fine even if they inhale that kind of drug powder.

"As soon as Shou'er handed the prescription to Yun Si, An Xue Tang instructed, "We don't know how many people from the Western Regions have arrived, nor do we know how much of that blinding drug they possess. Therefore, you must secretly dispatch someone to purchase the ingredients listed on the prescription. We need to make an antidote to prevent our brothers in the manor from being harmed."

"Understood."

An Xuetang recalled the Westerners lurking outside the mansion. Her icy eyes narrowed slightly, "Those Westerners failed to capture me today; they certainly won't give up easily. I suspect they will find a way in after dark."

Yun Si's eyes were deep, "This subordinate will make the arrangements. Everyone must be on high alert tonight."

"No need for that." An Xuetang didn't know what plan she had thought of, but her eyes now showed a hint of ferocity. "Since they dare to come, we'll make sure they have no way back."

Having said that, she looked at Ning'er and the others. "First, prepare some antidote. Make sure all the brothers in the manor take it before nightfall. If they come tonight, we'll catch them by surprise."

As soon as An Xue Tang said this, everyone present instantly understood what she wanted to do and nodded in agreement.

Yun Si did not dawdle. Taking the prescription, she hurried away. Ning'er and the others each went to gather the various herbs needed to make the antidote.

The people in the mansion were numerous, and to make a sufficient quantity of antidote before nightfall, they had to work quickly.

After the house fell silent, An Xuetang picked up the two letters on the table again, her gaze falling on the three characters "Hua Guifei" in the letter.

She naturally didn't believe that Huaduo would betray her, nor did she believe that Huaduo knew the emperor had hired a master from Xirong to deal with her, and that Huaduo would know but not report it.

She simply hadn't received any news from the palace these past few days.

There's probably something else going on here...

Once she's dealt with the Xirong people lurking outside the palace, I need to figure out a way to contact Huāduō. I have to see what's going on there.

……

And at that moment, the emperor in the palace slowly woke up, and Huāduǒ served him.

Seeing the emperor awake, she immediately stepped forward and helped him up. "Your Majesty, are you feeling better"

The emperor frowned, feeling a lingering headache. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, saying in a deep voice, "What is wrong with me"

"Your Majesty, perhaps you've been overworking yourself lately. You were speaking with your concubine just now and fell asleep mid-sentence. Your concubine has already had the imperial physician take a look. The physician said that Your Majesty is overworked and burdened with worry, which has taken its toll on your body."

The emperor paused, "Is that truly what the imperial physician said"

Facing the emperor's questioning, Huāduǒr didn't get angry. Her voice was still soft and weak, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe this concubine, please call the imperial physician over to take a look."

"Those words carry a hint of grievance," the Emperor said, coming back to his senses. He reached out and grasped Hua Duo'er's hands, gently patting them with tenderness. "How could I not trust my beloved wife It's true that these past few days have been rather busy."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered today's plan. "By the way, where is Ye Er"

"Lord Ye left the palace, but before he did, he came to see Your Majesty. Seeing that Your Majesty was finally sleeping soundly, he didn't have the heart to wake you."

"But Lord Ye also said that if Your Majesty wakes up, someone should call him and he will immediately enter the palace. After all, this is the inner court, and Lord Ye is not good at staying here for too long."

The emperor sighed, "He's just like his father, stubborn as can be."

This, both spoken and unspoken, is truly filled with trust in Ye Er.

The little flower bud couldn't help but raise an eyebrow subtly. The emperor had been meeting with people mysteriously recently, and even she hadn't managed to find out who he'd seen.

Now that Ye Er has the Emperor's trust, if he were to stand with them, he might be able to help uncover the Emperor's secrets and ultimately reveal the identity of the mysterious figure behind him.

Recently, many of the Emperor's decisions have shown signs of intelligence. She naturally didn't believe that such ideas could have come from the Emperor himself.

No matter how carefully she paid attention, or even when she tried to probe the emperor several times, she couldn't glean any useful information.

If one were to ask Ye Er for help, perhaps a good outcome could be achieved.

This matter still needs to be communicated with A Tang first. She's worried that if she rashly contacts Ye Er, it might alert him and spoil everything.

"When Ye Er enters the palace, I have something to ask him."

The emperor's voice brought Huā Duǒr back to her senses, and she nodded slightly. "Yes."

The moment she turned around, Huāduǒ's expression returned to icy coldness. She walked out and instructed the eunuch by the emperor's side, waiting until the eunuch left before beckoning the maid Xiǎohóng closer.

Xiaohong looked around, seeing that no one was there before she quickly ran to Huaduo's side, "Miss, what's wrong"

Huāduōr zhòngzhe méitóu, jí lì de yā diào shēngyīn, "Zhè cì cì ràng nǐ chuán chū qù de xiāoxi dōu chuán chū qù le" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Xiao Hong's eyes flashed, but unfortunately, she was looking down, so Huāduōr didn't see the change in her eyes at all.nderstood that speaking up meant certain death, while remaining silent also meant death. The eunuch had no choice at all. He could only suppress his fear and stammered out:"Your Majesty, the people no...
