Wushisan was a powerful drug. Although its short-term use would refresh the mind and enhance physical strength, but its long-term use would cause addiction, and over time would make people insane, and also cause dementia. 

It was common practice for the nobles and officials of the previous dynasty to consume five-stone powder of Wushisan, which also aggravated the demise of the previous dynasty to a certain extent.

It was precisely because of the lessons learned from the past that in the Dasheng Dynasty, Wushisan was a drug that was banned from circulation.

But now that banned drugs have been found in the inner courtyard of the deep palace. How could Emperor Ming not lose face? 

In a fit of rage, Emperor Ming ordered that all the eunuchs and palace maids in Cuiwei Palace be killed, and the Cuiwei Palace was designated as a forbidden area and closed forever. He even carried out a carpet search of all the palaces of all the concubines and concubines in the harem. 

For a time, people in the palace were panicking, and everyone was in danger of the emperor's anger.

Zhao Ling could only sigh after hearing about this. This Lou Xinyue had so many innocent lives buried with her for her own selfish desires, and her infatuation with Meng Yuan was truly a sign of heaven and earth. 

Concubine Li actually thought of using Wushi San to control the old emperor and plan for Meng Yuan's way to seize the throne. No wonder she said at that time that she could conquer the world for him.

But, did this pale, thin, aloof and cold man in front of her really have the heart to conquer the world?

Just when there was chaos in the palace, Zhao Ling was sitting in Meng Yuan's room in the palace of Xuanwang, looking at the horse in front of her. This should have been bright and beautiful scenario, but at this moment she could only lay quietly on the bed. 

This sick and weak man with his eyes tightly closed and his thin lips tightly pursed, must be remembering his sad background, the responsibilities he shouldered, his forbearance after the great changes, and the incomprehension now that she knew his true identity. 

Everything that happened to this man made her feel distressed.

"Why is your lord still awake?" She stroked the little fox who was quietly laying in her arms, and asked Situ Gong, who was standing beside her.

Xiaojiao's short leg was tied with a white bandage, covering the wound that was left after the blood was taken last night.

On the second day after returning from Taolin, Changdong went to the Duke's Mansion to report that Meng Yuan was suddenly unconscious, and Mr. Situ asked him to fetch the blue-eyed spirit fox for urgent use.

Zhao Ling couldn't delay when she heard that, so she brought Xiao Jiao and hurried to Xuan Wang's mansion with Chang Dong, who was delivering the letter. Upon entering, she saw Meng Yuan laying on the bed with a pale face and no personality, to her much concern.

Now that the night had passed, and Xiaojiao's blood had been given to him, "why was he still not showing signs of waking up?"

Situ bowed his head and replied: "Please rest assured, Princess, after taking the blood of the fox, the prince will be fine for the time being, and I believe that he will wake up soon."

After he finished speaking, he was also sweating. The prince's ailment was too urgent this time. There was no sign that could have prepared them. If it weren't for the blue-eyed spirit fox, they could really have lost him.

Alas, sooner or later, her little heart would be troubled by the willful behavior of the prince. Zhao Ling sighed deeply.

"My lord, hasn't he cooperated well with the treatment these days?" It stood to reason that with Situ Gong's medical skills and years of research, the trestment was now at a critical stage. There should not be such a sudden situation, so this guy must not be responding well to the treatment.

Situ Gong was embarrassed, he was silent for a long time, and then he acquiesced. There was no improvement, and it was actually getting wirse. The lord has explained it that the princess couldn't know about this matter. But now that the princess saw it herself, it should not be regarded as disobedience on his part.

It seemed that she guessed correctly. Zhao Ling was really angry. Just when Zhao Ling was sulking and Situ Gong was restless, a low, hoarse voice came from the bed.

"Mr. Situ, if nothing happens, go out and prepare an antidote as soon as possible."

This guy finally woke up!

Zhao Ling was overjoyed. She turned her head to see his weak appearance, and couldn't help but glared at him, stopped Situ Gong, who was about to retreat, and said in a flat tone. "Mr. Situ, you stay and wait. Your lord, the one who should go out is me. Since King Xuan has woken up, I will leave first."

After speaking, Zhao Ling stood up and hugged the little fox, who was obviously still in low spirits after the blood was taken, intending to turn around and leave.

"Ling'er!" Meng Yuan saw that Zhao Ling was really angry this time, and he became anxious. He didn't know where the strength came from. He sat up and grabbed Zhao Ling's hand tightly, but because the action was too violent, it caused him a continuous cough.

He admitted to her that in the days when he first learned of his life origin, it was really difficult for him to accept it for a while, and even he felt that he should not have come to this world at all.

So, he had the idea of ​​giving up on himself, and in a fit of rage, he destroyed all the antidote that Situ Gong had prepared with great difficulty in the past.. He continued to drink alcohol without heeding the advice.
