Chapter 1122 Fragrance Of Osmanthus Blossoms
It was not surprising that Xia Huanyu was disturbed as such an incident happened. Yun Shang thus
gave a response, tidied her clothes and then walked out of the inner hall.
Standing in the hall with his hands sped behind his back, Xia Huanyu turned around when he heard
the footsteps. He nced at Yun Shang and asked, "What happened to the Emperor?"
Biting her lips, Yun Shang nodded, "It''s poison, the poison of the southern pith."
Xia Huanyu frowned and said, "It''s not difficult to detoxify the poison of the southern pith. What did the
imperial physicians say?"
Yun Shang fell silent.
All of a sudden, Xia Huanyu understood what she meant, "There are no medicines in the pce?
Which one do youck? "
"All," replied YUn Shang.
Xia Huanyu''s eyebrows twitched, "What are you going to do with it?"
"I''ve sent someone out of the pce to call for Ghost Doctor. At the same time, I''ll also send people to
look for the three kinds of herbs in the city. If there''s no such herbs in the city, then expand the search
area," answered Yun Shang.
Xia Huanyu pursed his lips and stopped bothering about it. He then continued, "What about the court?
If the news that the Emperor was poisoned is spread out, the court would be in chaos. What should you
do with it then? "
"For the time being, I only announce to the public that his majesty has a slight chill and is not in good
health. As long as we survive these two days and wait for the Emperor to recover, we will be fine," said
Yun Shang. She looked calm.
"What if the Emperor''s poison can''t be detoxified?"
"His majesty will be fine," Yun Shang straightened her back and said, "Even if something really
happens to his majesty, he has Chengye, who has to take the responsibility. As his Majesty''s eldest
son, he should naturally take the responsibility. I will spare no effort to make sure that the State of Xia
will not be in chaos. "
Hearing what Yun Shang said, Xia Huanyu took a meaningful look at her.
"The State of Xia doesn''t need a person from the State of Ning to protect."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes to hide her mockery and said indifferently, "I have no intention on the
State of Xia. If I want, the position of the Crown Princess of the State of Ning is within my reach."
Then she repeated, "His majesty will be fine. Please rest assured, your Former Majesty."
"That''s good," Xia Huanyu replied casually, turned around and left.
After Xia Huanyu went far, Yun Shang staggered and fell into a chair.
"Your majesty!" the servant nearby eximed and strode forward.
Yun Shang waved her hand, looking tired, "I''m fine."
Yun Shang sat there for a while and looked up, "I asked the imperial physicians to leave just now, but
now send someone to bring them here. Let them Carefully check the food on the table and see where
the poison was put."
Before the imperial physicians returned to the Imperial Hospital, they were called back again. The four
of them looked around the table for a long time. In the end one of them said, "Your majesty, I have
carefully examined the dishes on the table. I did not find the poison of the southern pith in these dishes,
but I found that a few herbs that could be made into the poison which were scattered in two dishes.
They are mandarin fish and osmanthus cakes."
Yun Shang squinted, "Mandarin fish, osmanthus cakes...
Guards, imprison all the people who havee into contact with the two dishes!"
"Your Majesty..." Before the maid could say anything further, Liu Wenan, who was standing aside, said,
"Your majesty, you can''t."
Yun Shang turned to look at Liu Wenan, "Why can I not?"
"The Emperor''s poisoning still needs to be absolutely confidential. If it is leaked out, it will cause chaos.
After the Emperor was poisoned, your majesty locked most of the people served in the Weiyang Pce
in the side hall, and also let the guards surround the Pce not to let people in or out easily. Atst,
your majesty also invited four imperial physicians to enter the Weiyang Pce twice...
These movements have already been very eye-catching. If your majesty sends people to arrest all the
servants who havee into contact with these two dishes, I''m afraid that the Emperor''s situation will
not be able to be hidden from the public."
Yun Shang slowly closed her eyes. After a long pause, she opened them again and said in a hoarse
voice, "It''s all my fault."
Liu Wenan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the more worried you are, the more chaotic you will be."
Yun Shang sat down again, closed her eyes, raised her hand to rub her temples and forced herself to
calm down.
No one spoke in the hall. After a long time, Yun Shang opened her eyes, "Mandarin fish and
osmanthus cakes?"
She repeated, and suddenly sat up straight, "Go and fetch the Osmanthus fragrans in the vase in the
pce!"
The servant hurried to bring the Osmanthus fragrans as Yun Shang ordered. Yun Shang sniffed it again
and frowned, "Have a look. Is there anything wrong with the flower?"
Yun Shang said as she handed the osmanthus fragrans to the servant, who passed them on to the four
imperial physicians.
The imperial physicians took the fragrans and each picked one. They examined it carefully for a while,
and smelled it as Yun Shang did.
"I... I didn''t find anything wrong, " an imperial physician said first.
Yun Shang nced at him and pursed her lips.
Then another two imperial physicians shook their heads and said, "I didn''t find anything wrong either."
There was only one imperial physician left, looking hesitant. Seeing that Yun Shang was looking at him,
he took the rest of the flower branches and smelled them carefully.
"I think the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms seems a little unusual," he said.
"Oh?" Yun Shang asked in a hurry, "In which way is it unusual?"
"I''ve always liked osmanthus fragrans, especially golden fragrans. Although ordinary osmanthus
fragrans also have a strong fragrance, the fragrance of this flower seems to be too strong,"
the imperial physician paused for a moment and said, "The strong fragrance makes me feel like

someone is using the fragrans to cover something."
Yun Shang pressed her lips tightly and said, "The materials used to make poison from the southern pith
are all ordinary medicinal materials, but they can also be used as food materials, some of which are the
spices used to make dishes. Even if they are put on the table, no one will doubt them. But there is only
one kind of medicine, which is necessary to make the southern pith poison, but it is also the most
difficult to hide. "
"It''s the Quhuai perfume," the imperial physician said in a low voice.
Yun Shang nodded, "It''s the Quhuai perfume, the unique scent of the fragrance. It''s easy to be noticed.
However, the Quhuai perfume is very simr to the fragrans'' fragrance. ording to its properties, the
person who poisoned it used it on the fragrans.
In the early autumn, when every batch of fragrans bloomed, I would have someone pick some fragrans,
make mandarin fish for his majesty, and osmanthus cakes for myself. Perhaps that person also noticed
this, so he deliberately applied the Quhuai perfume on the osmanthus fragrans when thest batch of
Yun Shang bit her lips and said, "In fact, I have also touched all the dishes on the table. It''s just that I''m
immune to poisons, so I escaped..."
Yun Shang''s face was cold, and her eyes were full of sharp light, "I''m afraid most of the osmanthus
trees in the Jingui Garden have been smeared with the Quhuai perfume. The person who poisoned is
so generous!"
