Chapter 188: The Stupid Poisonous Mushroom; The Clever Concubine Hui

Yipin hugged Yongxuan and said, "It seems that Concubine Hui is not that great after all. We can cure her with just a little trick."

Qingpin: “I always feel something is wrong.

There's no movement from the Imperial Concubine?"

Yipin: "What can she do? We are actually helping her."

To overthrow Concubine Hui would be equivalent to breaking one of her arms, and the eldest prince Yonghuang would inevitably be disliked by the emperor.

"That's right, but... I always feel like something's wrong. I'm so panicked."

"Well, you're just scaring yourself. How could they be so smart? By the time they realize what's going on, they'll already be our dinner."

"But this won't hurt Concubine Hui's foundation. We still have to use some tricks in the previous dynasty."

Su Lian nodded: "That's right, with Gao Bin here, Concubine Hui will regain her favor."

"Then let's start with the eldest prince.

When I was at Yu Clan, I heard about a plant that was addictive and that long-term consumption could damage the brain."

"This can be used as a side dish. We can add it to the eldest prince's diet."

Su Lian nodded: "Now this is the only way, we have to make him withdraw from the competition for the crown prince."

After Su Lian returned, she ordered Zhao Yitai to go to the imperial kitchen and bribe a young eunuch to tamper with the eldest prince's food.

Yipin was talking about a poisonous mushroom that grows deep in the mountains. It can be used as a side dish and is harmless if eaten in small amounts.

If you eat this food frequently over time, it will hurt the eater's spleen and stomach and damage his brain. In simple terms, he will become a fool.

The princes all had their lunch in Xiefang Palace.

Yonghuang was puzzled when he saw a plate of fried mushrooms in front of him today.

He asked the eunuch who brought him food, "Is this the only one I have?"

The young eunuch nodded: "Yes, this is what Concubine Hui ordered."

Yonghuang had no doubts. He took a bite and found it delicious. He ate the whole plate.

After school, he couldn't concentrate at the archery range, and his mouth watered every time he thought of the fried mushrooms for lunch.

After returning to Xianfu Palace, he said to Gao Xiyue, "Empress Hui, the stir-fried mushrooms you had made today were really delicious. I want to eat them again tomorrow, is that okay?"

Gao Xiyue was stunned: "What fried mushrooms?"

"Didn't you ask the eunuch who served the meal to bring fried mushrooms to me at lunch?" Yonghuang asked.

Gao Xiyue's heart was alarmed: "You ate it all?"

Yonghuang nodded: "Mm, it's delicious. Madam Hui, can you make it again tomorrow? I want to eat more."

"Moxin! Moxin!" Gao Xiyue yelled.

Mo Xin and Wei Yingning both ran in: "Master, what's wrong?"

"Moxin, go call Doctor Jiang over here. Remember to do this quietly so no one can find out."

"Yingning, go check which eunuch delivered the meal to Xiefang Palace today. Remember to do it quietly and not alert the enemy."

The two nodded and ran out immediately without delay.

Yonghuang asked, "Empress Hui, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Gao Xiyue hugged Yonghuang and said, "Yonghuang, it's all Empress Hui's fault for not being careful. Don't be afraid. Empress Hui will definitely protect you no matter what happens."

"Empress Hui, you are so kind."

Jiang Yebin came in from the back door. After taking the patient's pulse, Jiang Yebin's brows remained furrowed.

"Do you suspect there's something wrong with the mushrooms that the eldest prince had for lunch?"

Gao Xiyue nodded.

"But judging from his pulse, he's fine. It could also be that this is his first time eating, so the toxins are so small that it's hard to detect."
