Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538: Where Is the Poison Hidden?

“If I’m not mistaken, this is a warning for us,” An Jiuyue shifted her gaze away from the corpses and looked at Eldest Brother Yan.

Eldest Brother Yan, of course, also understood this point.

If all the poison listed in the ledger were used, let alone the entire capital, it would be more than enough to wipe out several cities around the capital.

“Who would have the poison in their possession?” He took a deep breath and asked the two of them.

“Who else but that one person?” Qian Jiyun chuckled lightly and countered his question.

Eldest Brother Yan pursed his lips and said nothing.

It was truly a case of no holds barred, keeping so much poison at hand for personal use, right?

“Is the throne really that enticing?”

He closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them again and asked Qian Jiyun, a question coming from the depths of his soul.

“You’ll understand deeply only when you sit on that throne yourself,” Qian Jiyun said.

Eldest Brother Yan:

He thought that even if he did occupy that position, he wouldn’t be able to comprehend the old emperor’s mindset.

If he had to choose between the common people and the throne, he would definitely choose to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. To him, wasn’t ascending the throne meant to ensure that the people could live in peace and happiness?

“Shall we enter the palace?” he asked.

Hearing this, Qian Jiyun looked toward An Jiuyue at his side; he had to take An Jiuyue back to Prince Zhanyun’s residence first.

“You go ahead to the palace. There’s no need to send me back; I have some medicines to refine,” An Jiuyue understood what he meant, but she truly didn’t need the escort; she could return by herself.

“We should still take you back to Prince Zhanyun’s residence first.”

Without waiting for Qian Jiyun to speak, Eldest Brother Yan intervened.

He definitely wasn’t at ease letting his sister-in-law go back alone; too many things were happening, and the waters of the capital were too murky.

“Let’s go.”

Qian Jiyun didn’t say anything and took An Jiuyue away first.After sending An Jiuyue back to Prince Zhanyun of the Second Rank’s Residence, Qian Jiyun left with Eldest Brother Yan.

An Jiuyue went straight into her special space and addressed Wei Na, who approached her.

“Wei Na, help me gather more herbs. I need to refine some Detoxification Powder,” she said.

“Alright.”

Wei Na was also aware of the situation outside. The Half Puppet Poison was not something simple; without an antidote pill prepared by the master, it inevitably spelled death.

“Master, do you need my assistance? I can sense where the poison is hidden,” he asked again.

“No need.”

An Jiuyue shook her head, refusing.

It wasn’t that she wouldn’t let Wei Na act; rather, there probably wasn’t much of that poison left in the old emperor’s hands, most likely it had been transported away.

“You should just help me gather more herbs. I need to refine more Detoxification Powder, the more the better.”

“Understood.”

Wei Na got the point; this was to take precautions before it was too late.

After acknowledging, he went to gather the herbs. Since she needed as much as possible, he decided to gather all the necessary herbs, leaving only the roots for seeding.

Within the imperial palace, although the old emperor was still holding the title, his power had already been stripped away.

With that, the memorials to the throne were reviewed by Eldest Brother Yan, and the morning court sessions were temporally presided over by Eldest Brother Yan as well. The old emperor could now only live out the rest of his years in the harem.

But how could he be willing to accept this?

After sending a message to the Qee Family, he pondered how to reclaim his power.

The Longhu Guards and the Three Guards, as well as the imperial guards, were already out of his control. Therefore, those in command of the Three Guards and the imperial guards should no longer be spared; it was natural for him to take action against them.
