Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 57 Looking for an Antidote

The woman did not stay in Jing'an Marquis Mansion for too long and left after expressing her intention.

Su Junxi stood at the window. Since she had accepted the gift, how should Li Wanwan do it so that no one else would know.

But who would have thought that half a month later, Tang Zhili, who had just recovered from a serious illness, suddenly received bad news.

"Miss, today the imperial doctor came to check the Marquis's pulse and found out that the Marquis has been poisoned for more than a month. The old lady has now called everyone to the front yard. You should go there quickly!"

Yan'er came back in a panic. Su Junxi was shocked when she heard this. Is there someone in this huge Hou Mansion who wants to harm him?
Without time to think about it, she immediately got up and headed to the front yard.

The courtyard was full of people. Seeing Su Junxi coming, they quickly made way for a path.

Tang Zhili was in the main room at the moment, and the imperial doctor was sitting aside with a sad face and sighed.

Madam Ye stepped forward in a hurry and asked, "Emperor Physician, how is my son?"

The imperial doctor shook his head: "I have never seen this kind of poison in my many years of medical practice. I can't do anything about it. The Marquis should hire someone else."

Seeing that the imperial doctor was about to leave, Mrs. Ye quickly went up and stopped him from leaving: "Imperial doctor, my son depends on you, you can't ignore it! If you want as much money as you want, just ask!"

The imperial doctor waved his hand: "Madam, this is not a question of money, but that the poisonous old man of the Marquis is really at his wits' end. If Madam wants to cure the Marquis, she might as well send someone to the Prince Regent's Mansion to ask. The Prince is well-informed, and he might know No matter what kind of poison the Marquis has been exposed to, he can still get the antidote."

After the imperial doctor finished explaining, he left.

The group of people was worried. The Marquis's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion had never interacted with each other. How should they speak?

The old lady took a deep breath and ordered: "It's better to have a way than to wait. Here comes someone! Prepare a gift! I will go and visit the prince myself!"

But when the old lady arrived at the gate of the palace, the soldier at the door just said to her coldly: "The prince has no visitors, Mrs. Tang, please come back!"

"I have something to ask of you, please let me know." The old lady has no intention of leaving. Right now, only Li Junyi can save her grandson. She can't give up this opportunity no matter what.

But the soldiers at the door stopped paying attention to her, which made the old lady, who had always been highly respected in the Hou Mansion, feel embarrassed and look a little ugly.

But this is the palace, and she will not receive special treatment just because she is Tang Zhili's grandmother.

After the old lady stopped at the gate of the palace for more than an hour, the soldiers did not move, so she had to go back to the palace.

"Grandma, how are you?" Su Junxi looked at the depressed old lady and asked knowingly.

The old lady looked haggard and sighed: "This prince doesn't show any dignity at all. If I hadn't asked for something, who would have come to visit me! Humph!"

The old lady was very dissatisfied and helpless with Li Junyi's attitude.

Ye's heart felt cold after hearing this, and then her eyes fell on Su Junxi. Suddenly she seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. She approached her with a smile and said, "Xi'er, you are the legitimate daughter of Duke Anguo. Go ahead." It should be easy to get this antidote, why don’t you try it?”

Mrs. Ye waited expectantly for Su Junxi's reply. Seeing that Su Junxi was a little embarrassed, she continued: "Mom, I think you don't want to see your husband being tortured by the disease, right? Mother knows that you are the best Those who care about childish etiquette."

This Mrs. Ye is really interesting. If she refuses, she will be notorious as the most vicious woman who doesn't care about her husband's life or death.

She had no choice but to go and give it a try and said, "If my daughter-in-law can help, she is naturally willing to give it a try, but she cannot guarantee the outcome."

She just had to go through the motions, it didn't matter what the outcome was.

Seeing that Su Junxi agreed, Ye was relieved and said, "Mom, I believe you can do it!"

Su Junxi seemed to be used to this kind of life when she pushed herself aside when she encountered a problem. She also went to the palace with the mentality of giving it a try.

Wangfu
The housekeeper came to Li Junyi's study, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is another visitor from the Jing'an Hou Mansion."

Li Yi saw that the housekeeper was so ignorant and glared at him. Just as the old lady left, another ignorant person came.

"The prince is missing, please step back." Li Yi said coldly.

But the housekeeper froze on the spot with a troubled expression, and Li Yi said impatiently: "You have been in the palace for many years, why are you still so ignorant of the rules?"

The housekeeper glanced at Li Junyi who was practicing calligraphy and said slowly: "It's the Su family from the Hou Mansion."

The housekeeper knew that his master had always cared about this woman, so he didn't drive her away when he saw her coming.

Li Junyi paused after hearing that it was Su Junxi. The ink on the tip of the pen dripped onto the paper, and a perfect calligraphy and painting was lost. "Your Majesty, do you want to see him?" Li Yi turned around and asked Li Junyi for his opinion.

Li Junyi put down his pen and said to the maid behind him: "Change."

The butler saw this and retreated.

Su Junxi followed the housekeeper to Li Junyi's study. As soon as she arrived, she saw that the rest of the people in Li Junyi's study had retreated, and she was the only one left in the study.

Li Junyi remained silent, and Su Junxi didn't know how to speak.

He suddenly raised his eyes and asked her: "Did he ask you to come?"

"No." Su Junxi replied.

"I don't have the antidote here, go back." Li Junyi said with some dissatisfaction after hearing this.

Su Junxi didn't have much hope at first, so she turned and left.

Seeing her leaving without hesitation and seeing that she didn't care about this man's life or death, Li Junyi said, "Wait a minute."

Su Junxi stopped and turned to look at him doubtfully.

Li Junyi had a half-smile on his face and said, "Come here, get the antidote."

After the words fell, a maid brought the medicine over.

"This is the antidote, it can cure the poison in his body."

The maid brought the medicine to Su Junxi. Su Junxi knew that if she wanted the medicine, she would have to pay a price, so she asked, "My lord, do you still have something to say?"

Li Junyi smiled: "Oh, of course I won't give it to you in vain. As for the price, I will ask you for it in the future."

"Can this poison cause death?" Su Junxi didn't want to save Tang Zhili that much.

He wondered, didn't she come to him to ask for the antidote just to save Tang Zhili?

"Don't want to save him?" He narrowed his eyes, trying to see what she wanted to do.

"No." Su Junxi took the antidote and said with a smile, "It's just that it's too cheap for him."

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. The disaster has not yet come, and Mrs. Su doesn't want to see her husband so much?" Li Junyi mocked.

He never moved his eyes away, he wanted to see her expression when she was embarrassed.

couple?

Su Junxi only thought it was ridiculous.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your generous donation today. I will say goodbye."

After Su Junxi left, Li Yi walked out from behind the screen and said, "Your Majesty, if you find out who did it, do you want to inform Mrs. Su?"

"No need." Li Junyi turned around and left the study: "Let's see how she handles it."

Su Junxi returned to her house with the antidote and saw her whole family waiting in her yard.

"Has the antidote been found?"

Before she even stepped into the house, Ye's words reached her ears.

She nodded and handed the medicine bottle to Tang Zhili: "This is the antidote."

Tang Zhili took the antidote and looked at her: "How did you get it?"

He knew that Li Junyi was not an easy talker. (End of chapter)
