Chapter 1097: Chapter 130: She Was Already Crazy Before Taking the Divine Pill—Does She Need the Divine Pill to Go Mad?
Jiang Chuan heard Empress Xie say this and felt it made a bit of sense. However, if it were her, she would still be afraid.
"What I’m worried about now is not being able to take the Divine Pill anymore." Taking a pill every seven days made her very anxious. If it was changed to every ten days, it would be like not taking it at all. "Where can I find the Divine Pill now?"
"Your Majesty, the Divine Pill was discovered by Prince Han. It’s said the pill is made in Lingnan, and Prince Han might know the formula." Since taking the Divine Pill, the Empress’s mood had been very good, no longer losing her temper at every turn. If the Empress couldn’t take the pill, her temperament might be even worse than before. Since the Empress is not afraid of the insect poison in her body, let her continue taking the Divine Pill.
Hearing Jiang Chuan’s words, Empress Xie’s eyes lit up, "You’re right, Prince Han must have the Divine Pill’s formula."
"Isn’t it said that the ingredients of the Divine Pill are from Lingnan? Your Majesty, you can have Duke Zhen send people to find the formula, then make it directly in Lingnan."
"I will write a letter now."
Empress Xie stood up and walked toward the study. Jiang Chuan quickly followed, helping her grind ink.
After writing the letter, Empress Xie sent someone to deliver it to the Duke Zhen Country Mansion.
Before long, the Emperor knew that Empress Xie had written a letter asking Xie Shi to send people to Lingnan to find the Divine Pill’s formula.
Sun Kui was shocked in his heart: Empress dares to still want to take the Divine Pill! Isn’t she afraid of the insect poison in the pill?!
The Emperor has clearly issued a decree banning the Divine Pill, and the Empress dares to boldly collect it from various places, and now she sends Duke Zhen to Lingnan to find the pill’s formula. Has she gone mad?
Wait, they say that taking too much of the Divine Pill can drive you mad. The Empress seems to have taken quite a bit, could she already be mad?
"Ignore her, let Xie Shi help her find it."
Sun Kui was shocked: The Emperor isn’t stopping the Empress?!
"Your Majesty, aren’t you worried that the Empress might..." Sun Kui dared not say that the mother of a nation would go mad.
The Emperor glanced at the hesitant Sun Kui, raising an eyebrow slightly, "You mean she would go mad?"
"Isn’t it said that taking too much of the Divine Pill will drive you mad."
The Emperor let out a chuckle, "She was mad before taking the Divine Pill; does she need the pill to go mad?"
Sun Kui: "..." The Emperor makes a strong point.
Indeed, the Empress was already mad before taking the Divine Pill. None of the other ladies in the palace are as mad as the Empress.
"Your Majesty, since the Empress is the mother of the nation, if she truly does go mad... it might damage your reputation, as well as the Royal Family’s honor." Great Zhou has just been established, and having a mad Empress would lead to criticism. This situation might leave a bad mark in the history books.
"Do I still have any reputation? Does the Royal Family still have any honor?" The Emperor never cared about reputation.
Sun Kui: "..." Your Majesty, could you not speak so frankly?
"Her body cannot endure much longer, let her do as she pleases."
Hearing such heartless words from the Emperor, Sun Kui sighed inwardly: The Emperor truly has no affection for the Empress.
"Your Majesty, if Duke Zhen cannot find the formula, will the Empress be a threat to Prince Han?"
The Emperor said meaningfully, "Who knows."
"Your Majesty, would you set a trap for Prince Han again?" The use of the word ’trap’ is perfect here.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor glared at Sun Kui, "Am I that kind of person?"
Sun Kui thought to himself: Yes, you are.
"Get out, don’t disturb me while I’m reviewing the memorials."
Sun Kui: He guessed it right, the Emperor is indeed setting a trap for Prince Han again.
At that moment, far away in Swamp Prefecture, Zhao Yao suddenly sneezed loudly.
The Hidden Guard A asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Zhao Yao rubbed his itchy nose and said, "I’m fine, probably someone’s talking about me. You can continue."
"The Dragon Guards have found evidence that Duke Zhen, Duke Anyang, and Marquis Xuanping are forging weapons and raising private soldiers in Annan."
"They haven’t transported the weapons and private soldiers back to Great Zhou, so Father can’t sentence them to death. It won’t cause too much turmoil." Zhao Yao wasn’t very concerned about this matter, "What about Prince Han?"
"Prince Han bought a lot of war horses from the Western Regions and is raising them on the Xiongnu Grassland." Hidden Guard A continued to report, "Modu Chanyu has been poisoned; it’s a forbidden drug from the Western Regions."
"When do they plan for Modu Chanyu to die?" Zhao Yao wasn’t surprised by Modu Chanyu’s poisoning.
"After Prince Dai acts according to their plan."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao smiled with amusement, "So they successfully persuaded Prince Dai?"
"Yes, Prince Dai agreed to cooperate with Prince Han."
"So the Beauty Trap worked so well?"
"Your Highness, the woman is already pregnant, and Prince Dai plans to take her as a concubine."
"Tsk tsk tsk, even heroes can’t resist the charms of beauty." Zhao Yao propped his right hand under his chin, smiling playfully, "There will be a real spectacle to watch when Prince Dai returns to the capital."
"The Third Princess persuaded Modu Chanyu to temporarily give up invading Great Zhou from the south. It won’t be long before Prince Dai sets off for the capital."
"Just in time for the Annan incident to break out." Zhao Yao’s fingers lightly tapped on the desk, lost in thought, "I wonder how Father will deal with Prince Dai."
The Hidden Guard A didn’t answer Zhao Yao’s question.
"By the way, what about the Southern Wei people?"
"Previously, the Emperor issued a decree to arrest the Southern Wei people, causing them significant losses. Currently, the Southern Wei people within Great Zhou are not a threat." Hidden Guard A reported, "Most of the Southern Wei people killed by the Emperor’s decree were not Lord Wei’s men."
"So, in issuing the decree against the Southern Wei people, Father ended up helping our eighth brother."
"Yes."
Zhao Yao asked again, "What about the Southern Wei people on the Xiongnu side?"
"On the surface, they’ve joined forces with the Third Princess and her allies. Prince Han is pleased with this." But little do they know everything is under Lord Wei’s control. Prince Han and the Third Princess were scheming against Prince Dai, but all along, they were being played by Lord Wei. "Currently, most of the power within the Xiongnu Royal Court has sided with the Third Princess."
