After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 363 Late Motherly Love

"You..." The Queen Mother's face turned pale with pain. This cut was obviously much deeper than the one on her face just now. Blood quickly flowed out of the wound, and the smell of blood became stronger.

"The Queen Mother is really forgetful. The master has already said it just now, right? Now, I am not discussing it with you, but it is a must!" Qing Luan looked indifferent. As long as she thought that this woman had secretly poisoned Murong Yanhui, she wanted to hack this woman to death with a knife right now!

Qin Wan on the side said nothing. She was trying hard to suppress her anger. Ever since she learned that this woman had attacked Hui'er, she could hardly control her emotions.

Before the Queen Mother could come to her senses, the dagger in Qing Luan's hand fell towards her again. At the moment when the dagger was about to touch her skin, the Queen Mother shouted loudly: "I will tell you! I will tell you!"

Qingluan then stopped the dagger just a hair's breadth away from the empress dowager's skin. The sharp blade even touched the empress dowager's skin, making her feel creepy.

"What kind of poison did Hui'er get?" Qin Wan opened her mouth and found that her voice was trembling. Her heart was in a knot whenever she thought that the child would not live past thirty.

"It's a poison called Losing Mind Powder. It's colorless and odorless. It's harmless if consumed on its own. But once it comes into contact with alcohol, it turns into poison. Day by day, it slowly seeps into the body and dissolves into the blood. Over a thirty-year period, the poisoned person will first slowly lose their memory, and then, as if they were sleeping, they will die."

Qin Wan listened while clenching and releasing her fists. Fortunately, everything was still in time!

"How do I cure this poison?"

"When I first got this poison, I didn't think about finding an antidote, so I don't have any with me. However, I do know someone who can."

Qing Luan put the dagger back on the Queen Mother's face, "Don't try to play tricks, my dagger is very slippery!"

Such a threat made the Queen Mother nod repeatedly. She naturally did not dare to play tricks with her own life. She thought for a moment and said, "Although I didn't leave the antidote behind, I know who has it."

"Okay, tell me!"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that person will only give me the antidote. If others go to him, it may not be useful."

Qin Wan was a little annoyed. "You're still playing tricks. Are you sure I won't kill you?"

"I didn't lie. Since I've already told you the name of the poison Murong Yanhui was poisoned with, why should I continue to hide the source of the antidote?" The Queen Mother paused, and seeing that Qin Wan believed her, she continued, "The person who prepared this poison lives in Shadowless Valley. It's because I accidentally saved his wife that he agreed to give it to me. If you want the antidote, I'm afraid I'll have to get it!"

Qin Wan's face changed. She had been outside the palace for many years, so naturally she had heard about the Shadowless Valley. She heard that the disciples in the Shadowless Valley were good at poisons, but they were also good at medicine, and there was an unwritten rule that one person could not do the same thing twice. In other words, if someone poisoned someone, if you wanted an antidote, you could only find the person who poisoned them, and that person would only recognize his or her original customer.

If it was someone in there, I'm afraid the Queen Mother would really have to spare her life.

However, the truth of the matter still required her to investigate carefully. Thinking of this, Qin Wan sighed and turned to leave. Qing Luan followed closely behind her. After they left, the Queen Mother suddenly fell to the bed, then curled up in fear, muttering to herself, "Retribution! This is retribution!"

Qin Wan and Qing Luan walked out of the secret room. Qin Wan regained her gentle appearance as the queen mother. She did not forget that she was now the woman she once hated the most.

"Master, the prince's matter..." Qingluan couldn't help but speak. Compared with Qin Wan, her biological mother, Qingluan had stayed with Murong Yanhui longer and had deeper feelings for him, so she subconsciously began to ask about this matter.

Qin Wan looked solemn. This matter was of no trivial importance and she had to consider it carefully. Over the years, she had endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens just so that one day she could return to the palace and take back the throne that belonged to Hui'er. But if Hui'er's life was threatened, she would have to change her plan temporarily.

"Qingluan, after so many years, it's not easy to find the people involved. If we want to find out whether Hui'er was poisoned or not, it seems we can only ask the imperial physician to give him a thorough diagnosis and treatment."

Qing Luan frowned. "That's true, but given the prince's personality, he might not be willing to cooperate. Master, if it really doesn't work out, you better reveal your identity to the prince."

Qin Wan remained silent. She also wanted to reunite with Hui'er and his mother, but she had too many things to consider. Once her identity was exposed, it would be a serious matter.

"master……"

Qingluan urged anxiously, but Qin Wan seemed to have made up her mind and remained silent. After a long while, she said seriously, "Qingluan, now is not the right time. Even if I have to bear this woman's face, I can still be good to Hui'er. Isn't that great?"

Qingluan moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing. Having been with Murong Yanhui for many years, she knew how much this child longed for maternal love in his heart. However, what the Queen Mother said was not without reason. If the identity was exposed now, it would not be good for the prince.

"Master, you don't have to worry about other things, but the poison in the prince's body cannot be delayed any longer. We must find out as soon as possible!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking, Qingluan. I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Yes! My slave, go get ready now!"

At this time, in Anle Palace, Murong Yanhui was playing chess with Yu Lihan. The chessboard was already in disarray, and Yu Lihan had few pieces left. He was frowning, thinking about how to win back the game.

On the other hand, Murong Yanhui on the opposite side was swinging his long legs leisurely and leaning comfortably on the large bench. He didn't look like he was playing chess, but rather like he was taking a nap.

"I lost!" After hesitating for a long time, Yu Lihan reluctantly put down the chess piece in his hand. "Senior brother's chess skills have improved!"

A confident smile appeared on Murong Yanhui's lips, and his eyes and eyebrows were full of pride. "Of course, compared to a useless junior brother like you, I naturally need to hone my skills more!"

Even though he was used to seeing his senior brother behave like this, Yu Lihan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, "Senior brother, are you acting like this in front of my sister?"

Murong Yanhui raised an eyebrow, her eyes slightly raised, "So what? Do you have any objections?"

Yu Lihan secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Brother, what are you talking about? What can I say? As long as Sister Qingli doesn't have any objections, it's fine. But seeing that Senior Brother is in a good mood today, he must be making good progress with Sister Qingli, right?"

"Of course. This prince and Lili are in love with each other. If it weren't for someone interfering, we would have been together long ago."

"Uh..." Yu Lihan was too embarrassed to speak. He really didn't see that they were in love with each other, but he saw clearly that his senior brother was too eager to do anything.

The two of them joked with each other for a while before Yu Lihan finally understood the purpose of their visit. "Brother, why did you specifically call me into the palace today?"

Murong Yanhui straightened his expression. "It's nothing serious. I just messed around a few days ago and my chest keeps hurting. I don't know what's going on."

Yu Lihan also frowned. He knew Murong Yanhui. If it was really as simple as he said, he probably wouldn't let him into the palace. Wouldn't it be better to just ask the palace physician for a diagnosis?

He immediately motioned for Murong Yanhui to stretch out his hand and take his pulse.

Murong Yanhui was not polite either. Compared to Murong Shiling, he and Yu Lihan seemed like real brothers. They had been brothers for so many years and it was not in vain.

The moment Yu Lihan placed his fingers on Murong Yanhui's wrist, his expression suddenly changed and his body sat up straighter.

Murong Yanhui did not urge him, but just looked at Yu Lihan calmly. From his expression, she knew that something might be wrong.

Sure enough, the first thing Yu Lihan said after letting go was, "Brother! You've been poisoned!"

"Poisoned?" Murong Yan laughed back. "I wonder who I've offended again? They're trying to make things difficult for me."

Yu Lihan couldn't quite bring himself to laugh. He said sternly, "Brother, please stop laughing. You've been poisoned for at least twenty years!"

Murong Yanhui was stunned. "So, this is a hidden danger that was planted when I was a child? If that's the case, why did the poison only take effect now?"

"That's exactly what I find strange. This is clearly a slow-acting poison, yet it's been holding its own. I'm afraid it needs something to collide with it to trigger the poison. Brother, I have to say, the person who poisoned it is a master!"

Murong Yanhui fell into silence. What he was thinking about at this moment was not what kind of poison he was poisoned with, but something else.

Since this is a chronic poison, it means that someone around him had already attacked him many years ago. And over the years, the person who can be trusted and stay by his side for the longest time is really no one else except Qingluan, who has now been transferred to the Queen Mother's side.

In this case, Qingluan had been bribed by the Queen Mother many years ago. I'm afraid the poison in his body is also related to the Queen Mother. It seems that after all these years, the Queen Mother still doesn't trust him!

Murong Yanhui curled up her lips into a sarcastic smile. She was too naive after all. Why didn't she think that Qingluan was the Queen Mother's person?

"Are you sure you can detoxify it?"

Yu Lihan pondered for a moment. "Brother, I just took your pulse and found that although you were poisoned, your Qi and meridians were not disordered. I'm afraid the poison has already merged with your blood. But as you said, apart from the stabbing pain in your chest, you have no other symptoms. I've never heard of such a strange poison."

"Since the poison has been absorbed into the blood, you might as well get some of my blood to study. Maybe you can find a way to detoxify it." Murong Yanhui suggested.

Yu Lihan frowned. This is indeed a good idea!
