Hearing Su Wan'er's tone, Imperial Physician Zhang knew that he had no way to refuse this matter, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"Your servant obeys the order."
After saying that, he took his medicine boy and went to tinker with it on the side.
And Su Wan'er returned to her seat and waited for Imperial Physician Zhang's result.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Zhang came out. He bowed respectfully to Su Wan'er, and then said to Su Wan'er, "Your Majesty, this is the nine - foot intestine - breaking herb. Just a sesame - sized amount is enough to make a person die in pain."
After he had examined the food, he was also slightly surprised. This kind of medicinal powder was not rare among the common people, or rather, in the jianghu, but in the imperial palace, it was extremely rare.
Or rather, those so - called poisons were not allowed to exist in the imperial palace. If it was found that a concubine had such items in her palace, there was no doubt that this concubine would be sent to the cold palace.
After all, no emperor of any dynasty would like to be poisoned in bed, right?
Su Wan'er turned to the warden and asked, "Who prepared today's food?"
When asked by Su Wan'er, the warden quickly and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, the food was prepared by the kitchen next to the prison."
Su Wan'er motioned for Fang Xi to order the person who prepared today's food in the kitchen to come over.
After being questioned by the "emperor", how could the kitchen staff dare to lie? They quickly told the matter of embezzling the prisoners' food rations, hoping to reduce their crimes, but regarding the matter of the poison, they did not have the guts, especially since this was a deadly poison?
After all channels were investigated, only...
Su Wan'er's gaze turned to the prison guards and Concubine Hua, who were still kneeling on the ground so far: "Now what else do you have to say?"
There was no problem with the source of the cooking, so it was the person who delivered the food.
If according to what the people in the kitchen said, the prepared food was all extra food, then that chicken leg was added by these prison guards.
Looking at Su Wan'er's cold eyes, the two prison guards were immediately flustered.
Although they would do some small actions in private, they did not have the guts to act recklessly in front of the emperor.
The prison guard on the right could not bear the inner panic anymore, and suddenly kowtowed: "Please forgive your servant, Your Majesty..."
The prison guard on the left saw that his partner seemed to have the intention of making the matter public, so he quickly took the lead and said, "We are all honest prison guards. How would we dare to do such immoral things? Please make a clear judgment, Your Majesty."
Su Wan'er was not moved by their words. After they finished speaking, Su Wan'er stood up from the chair and turned to the imperial guards behind her and said, "You all separate the three of them and detain them in different rooms. As for the queen..."
Su Wan'er looked at her faintly: "It is indeed a bit inappropriate for the mother of the nation to stay in the prison. Change it to house arrest in the palace."
After the imperial guards received Su Wan'er's order, they replied and then stepped forward to separate the people present according to Su Wan'er's words and brought them to different rooms according to what Su Wan'er said.
As for Si Junlin, he could also return to the palace.
When he returned to the palace, he had a feeling as if he had passed through another world. He really could not understand. Clearly, the identities of the two people had been exchanged back, so why did they change back again?
After he dismissed Qingcao, he took out the package that the national teacher gave to the "queen" from the secret compartment of the bookshelf again.
The moment he saw the letter that came with the package, he knew that the national teacher definitely knew that he and Su Wan'er had changed bodies. At the end of the letter, he even told him to open the package when he encountered any troublesome matter.
He was exactly encountering trouble now, so he might as well open the package and take a look.
Thinking this way, he reached out and opened the package and found that there was a square wooden box inside. After opening the wooden box, there was only a piece of paper...
"What is this guy up to again?" Si Junlin shook his head helplessly.
He opened the letter and carefully examined it.
"Your Majesty, since your servant has not yet resolved the matter at hand, he cannot return to offer help as Your Majesty said, but your servant can still offer advice to Your Majesty. For example, when you open this letter, your servant believes that Your Majesty must have exchanged souls again. Then your servant will tell Your Majesty another way to exchange souls."
Si Junlin turned a page and continued to read.
"First, you must return to the place where you exchanged souls at midnight. Tie the hands of the two people together with a red string and silently recite the soul - guiding spell that your servant prepared for you. Then it can be completed."
Si Junlin glanced at the end. There was really a small line of words there, and there were some densely packed words on it.
Si Junlin simply memorized it and then continued to examine the other letters.
His attention was more focused on the information on why the souls of the two people could change back after being exchanged.
It seemed that he had already expected their situation. The national teacher really used a paragraph in the letter to explain the reason to him.
It turned out that the fruit he gave them was only one of the materials for the ritual to completely exchange their souls back. Although it had the effect of exchanging souls, if one of them encountered a fatal danger, then the effect of the fruit would be invalid.
Si Junlin pressed his eyebrows slightly distressedly. It seemed that it was necessary to talk to Su Wan'er about this matter.
It was just... would Su Wan'er listen to him now?
He found that he was really not confident about whether Su Wan'er "would still be willing to talk to him".
"Your Ladyship." Qingcao came in. However, at this time, Qingcao was wearing a black outfit and did not look like a maid at all. Instead, she had the demeanor of a jianghu assassin.
"Qingcao, why are you like this?" A surprised look flashed through Si Junlin's eyes. He never thought that Qingcao would appear in front of him in such a form.
He did not expect that there would be such a maid following Su Wan'er into the palace? He really underestimated the strength of the Su family.
That's right, the first thing Si Junlin thought of was that Qingcao was one of the powers that the Su family gave to Su Wan'er. As for the power behind Su Wan'er's mother, he did not pay too much attention to it.
Qingcao bowed respectfully to the "young lady" and said, "Your Ladyship, your servant originally planned to take you away from the imperial palace, but unexpectedly, the emperor actually let you out."
She paused and then continued to say to Su Wan'er, "Now, your servant only wants to ask you one question." This time, she did not use the term "Your Ladyship", but used "young lady" because she was not using the identity of a maid now, but the identity of Su Wan'er's personal bodyguard.
