"No, you must be obedient. I am going to see the Queen Mother. I am not allowed to enter Shoukang Palace without permission from the Queen Mother. Have you forgotten the rules in the palace?"
Shen Ning thought to herself that going to Shoukang'an this time might bring bad luck.
If the Queen Mother Zhou gets angry and wants to punish her, Xiaoru will definitely be implicated if she follows her.
Mo Chuan can protect himself, but he may not be able to protect Xiao Ru, so it is safest for her to stay here.
After listening to Shen Ning's words, Xiao Ru hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of her hand, looking at Shen Ning reluctantly, as if she was about to part ways.
Shen Ning's heart felt sour for no reason. Although she knew that time was tight and she had no time to talk to Xiao Ru, she still couldn't help hugging her and said, "Good girl, wait for me here. I will be back soon."
Xiao Ru nodded reluctantly, she had never violated Shen Ning's words.
Shen Ning rubbed Xiao Ru's hair affectionately again, and she and Mo Chuan turned around and left the palace.
If she could predict what would happen in the future, she would never leave like this.
It's a pity that she doesn't know.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of Shoukang Palace, before they had time to step through the door, they heard Su Jin's crying voice coming from inside.
"The Queen Mother, you must not do this. The time has not come yet and the incense stick has not been burned yet. The Emperor and the Queen Mother will be here soon!"
"Sujin, shut up! If you plead one word for that little beast and bitch again, the Ai family will drag you down to be buried with the Ai family!" Empress Dowager Zhou said in a cold voice.
"The Queen Mother, if you insist on taking the poison, let Sujin take the first step."
"Sujin, what are you doing!" Queen Mother Zhou's voice suddenly became panicked, "Stop, stop!"
Mo Chuan and Shen Ning immediately realized something was wrong. He hugged Shen Ning, started Qinggong, and quickly ran into the palace gate. At a glance, he saw Su Jin holding a bottle in her hand and bringing it to her lips, about to drink it.
Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to stop him, but she was too far away. Coupled with her difficulty in moving, she was so anxious that she threw away her crutches.
"Sujin!" she shouted sharply.
Su Jin turned a deaf ear. For the first time, she did not obey Empress Dowager Zhou's words and raised her neck with determination.
Suddenly, she felt that her hands were empty, and the small bottle was snatched away by someone.
"Your Majesty, Queen!"
Su Jin calmed down and took a clear look at the two people standing in front of her. She was suddenly startled and woke up, and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Queen, you are finally here." She was so excited that her eyes filled with tears.
Shen Ning pulled her up, took the porcelain bottle from Mo Chuan's hand, brought it to her nose, sniffed it gently, and said, "This is peacock gall!"
After hearing this, Mo Chuan's usually calm face couldn't help but change color slightly.
Peacock gall, Crane's gallbladder and Trichosanthes gallica are listed as the three most deadly poisons in the world. It is known to the world that there is no cure after taking it.
Because of their strong toxicity and rapid onset, these three major poisons were used as poisonous wines in the palaces of the past dynasties.
Shen Ning knew that although the poison was called peacock gallbladder, it was actually not the peacock's gallbladder, but a poisonous insect called cantharis that was produced in damp places. It was black and highly poisonous. As long as it touched human skin, , it will cause muscle ulcers immediately and is extremely toxic.
If he takes this peacock bile, he may not be able to be saved even if Gu Qingze, the best doctor in the world, is present.
