When she saw that Old Emperor had woken up, she thought that her eyes had gone blurry and that she had been hallucinating. After all, the Old Emperor's pulse had not changed much previously.

"Your majesty?" She rubbed her eyes and confirmed that Old Emperor had opened her eyes.

Old Emperor had just woken up. Although Wei Qing had concentrated the poison in his body somewhere, the poison in his body did not resolve itself. Instead, her face was abnormally pale white.

"Wei..." "Blue."

With these two words, Old Emperor used up almost all of his energy, his voice was like a mosquito's buzz.

Wei Qing immediately pulled Old Emperor's wrist, and carefully checked his pulse, exhaling a small breath of air.

"Your Majesty, you have just awoken. Don't say anything for now."

Wei Qing felt that this poison must also be the kind that could damage the central nervous system of a person.

These few days, she had been using the silver needles and Hundred Poison Pill s to force the poison to her arm. Although it seemed like her meridians did not have much of a change, the poison in her brain had already been forced to her wrist, which was why Old Emperor woke up.

Old Emperor nodded.

Wei Qing poured some water for him and was about to go up to tell the empress dowager, but she was stopped by the Old Emperor.

"Wei Qing, tell us, what's the situation outside?"

He always knew that Xiao Hanqi's thoughts were not right, and all these years, the relationship between Xiao Qingqian and himself was getting worse and worse.

Wei Qing did not want to hide this from Old Emperor. After all, as long as Old Emperor was standing in front of him alive and well, Xiao Hanqi would definitely not make any other unusual moves.

Then, when Old Emperor heard about the situation outside, he made a decision that caused Wei Qing to be a little stunned.

"Your Majesty, if you leave now, then everything will be peaceful again."

Old Emperor raised his greenish black hand that was covered in poison, "You also said that the poison in our body was not resolved at all, and was only forced onto our arms by you."

Wei Qing went silent, and instantly understood what the Old Emperor was thinking.

"This humble one recklessly made my decision."

"The reason why I want you to help me hide this from everyone is because I want to see how this group of people can be tortured!"

Old Emperor was too angry. When he said those words, he was panting, and his face was flushed red from anger.

Wei Qing advised Old Emperor while patting his back.

Waiting until Old Emperor was finally able to breathe again, Wei Qing said: "Your majesty, although there are some risks, in order to prevent the poison from spreading to my brain along with my blood, I have the guts to use silver needles to seal a portion of your acupuncture points, I hope your majesty can understand."

Old Emperor coughed a few times, "We will not blame you!"

He recalled that he had drank the tonifying soup that the Queen sent over for him for a few days, which was why he looked like this.

He would definitely remember this debt for the empress.

After warning Wei Qing a little, Old Emperor was really too tired, so he fell asleep again.

Wei Qing anxiously rummaged through the medical books. If nothing happened at the border, inviting the smelly old man back to the capital would reduce her pressure.

At the moment, the subGu inside Xiao Qingqian's body was not sure if it would still cause more trouble, and the poison in Old Emperor was not sure if there was any way to cure it completely.

Wei Qing rubbed her forehead, letting out a heavy sigh.

Even though the empress dowager was old, she had lived in the harem for so many years. The fact that she was able to sit in her current position and protect the Old Emperor so well showed just how severe her methods were.

After discussing with Wei Qing, she immediately sent Nanny Qiu to look for Chen Cheng.

The next day, Chen Cheng went to the Tzu Ning Palace and successfully saved Xiao Qingqian from the prison with the Death-Free Token.

Xiao Hanqi was truly unresigned, but, that Death-Free Token was true, and all of the ministers from Prime Minister Wei had personally witnessed it. It was not good for him to continue to keep Xiao Qingqian in the dungeon.

"I am afraid that the Prince Chu will continue to harm my royal father, so even though the Prince Chu has successfully protected his life with the Death-Free Token, I feel that it is still better to let the Prince Chu stay in the Prince Chu’s Mansion."

"This …" Just as Prime Minister Wei wanted to explain for Xiao Qingqian, he met Xiao Hanqi's eyes that were filled with dark clouds and changed his mind, "We might as well restrict Prince Chu from entering the Prince Chu’s Mansion."

Xiao Qingqian didn't try to refute anything for himself. In the entire journey back to the Prince Chu’s Mansion, his forehead had always been tightly locked together.

"Chen Cheng, has there been any news from the hidden guards that have been sent to search for the free Gu ingredients?"

Chen Cheng shook his head, "After all, they are all precious herbs, I am afraid they are …"

Xiao Qingqian stretched the corners of his mouth and answered with a "En", "Let's return to the Duke's Palace first."

Chen Cheng and Dia'Er had not seen each other for a long time, but at the moment they met, Dia'Er was extremely excited, and she immediately threw herself into Chen Cheng's embrace.

Xiao Qingqian was touched by the scenery and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Suddenly feeling the gloomy Qi around Xiao Qingqian, Chen Cheng immediately let go of Die'er and followed Xiao Qingqian to the study room.

"Chen Cheng, recently, you have been keeping a close eye on the situation at the East Mausoleum border.

"Your Highness, your subordinate …"

Chen Cheng didn't understand why Xiao Qingqian wanted to transfer him out of the capital at such a sensitive time.

"This king has his own arrangements. You just need to help this king keep an eye on the East Mausoleum and prevent this king from worrying about anything else! Also, this king will fix a book, and after you go to East Mausoleum, King Fu Wei will contact you on his own accord. "

Chen Cheng pursed his lips, "This subordinate will not disappoint you!"

Xiao Qingqian waved his hand towards Chen Cheng, signalling for him to leave first.

Time passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Xiao Hanqi had people pay close attention to every single movement in the Prince Chu’s Mansion, and upon hearing that there were no other movements, Xiao Qingqian would only practice calligraphy, read books, and play chess everyday.

The calmer Xiao Qingqian was, the more Xiao Hanqi felt that something was amiss.

He thought about it again and again and decided to go to the Tzu Ning Palace to find out the Empress Dowager's reaction.

Just as he entered, he was shocked.

"Royal Grandmother, why did you summon so many ministers?" These words contained a few questions and reprimands.

The empress dowager squinted her eyes, which were exuding a dangerous, cold light, causing Xiao Hanqi's heart to lurch. He had a faint feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Crown Prince, explain this to This Dowager!" The empress dowager raised her voice, the anger in her eyes seemingly wanting to burn Xiao Hanqi to ashes.

Xiao Hanqi looked at the letters scattered by his feet and couldn't help but frown. He quickly picked it up and scanned through it. Surprisingly, he was shocked.

Within the Imperial Palace, many princes and princesses had their own special hobby of using paper. He liked to use jade plates the most, while Xiao Qingqian liked to use jade sheets.

Previously, when he failed to frame the Prime Minister Wei, and was instead framed by Xiao Qingqian, he thought that Xiao Qingqian would definitely not repeat the same trick, but unexpectedly, he actually thought about it in the letter!

And he, tripping over the same stone twice, was really stupid!
