Chapter 135 Packet Capture
"Since you are following the prince, you represent the prince's reputation when you go out. The prince helps me handle government affairs and is very busy. He will not take such trivial matters to heart. I will talk to the prince and make you some suitable clothes."
Mei Susu: “???”
Why did she hear Emperor Shunde trying to explain for Xuanyuan Che?
Are you afraid that she will misunderstand Xuanyuan Che?
He even wanted to stand up for her and ask Xuanyuan Che to make clothes for her!
A feeling of guilt surged in her heart. Emperor Shunde was much kinder than she had imagined. He was so tolerant and generous to a little beggar like her whose origins were unknown. Not only did he allow her to stay with Xuanyuan Che, he also did not make things too difficult for her.
If he knew the truth, he would probably skin her alive. She was so bold as to deceive the king.
"that....."
Mei Susu thought that she should tell the truth. Instead of talking about her cat turning into a human, she talked about the clothes and said that she actually knew that this was specially made for her by the prince, and she also knew what Yunjin silk was.
Even if I was punished, it was better than letting the emperor find out and losing his trust.
But just as she was about to explain, Zhao Zhen came back.
He took the ebony agarwood that the emperor often used to smoke recently and placed it on the table, motioning Mei Susu to come and check it out.
Mei Susu's explanation was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Zhao Zhen. She thought, then she should solve the problem of Emperor Shunde first and then explain it to him.
So she stood up, walked to the table, took some ebony incense from the box and placed it in her palm.
First he smelled it, then crushed it with his fingers and examined it carefully.
Finally, it was lit with a candle, and after it burned out, a pile of incense ash mixed with green ash was left.
"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with this incense?" Zhao Zhen had been observing from the side. Seeing Mei Susu smelling and burning the incense, he felt suspicious.
After all, the imperial physician who fumigated incense had also examined the patient and said there was no problem. Mei Susu looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, so how could she be compared with the imperial physician?
But she was someone close to the prince after all, so Zhao Zhen had to pay some attention to her, so he did not show any contempt for her and was quite polite.
"Yes." Mei Susu straightened up and looked at Emperor Shunde: "It's the Tianxian Vine."
"Heavenly Immortal Vine?" Emperor Shunde had never thought that Mei Susu would actually give him a conclusion, and he immediately said, "How can you tell that it is the Heavenly Immortal Vine? As far as I know, the Heavenly Immortal Vine is warm in nature, non-toxic, and a good medicine. It is fine even if it is mixed with this ebony agarwood."
"Your Majesty may not know that although Tianxian vine is not poisonous, it contains aristolochic acid. People with weak qi will suffer kidney damage if they are exposed to it for a long time. The ash here is blue-gray in color, and the blue color is what is left after the Tianxian vine is burned."
"What is aristolochic acid?" This was the first time Emperor Shunde heard of this thing.
Mei Susu was speechless for a moment. She didn't know that there was no such substance as aristolochic acid in the world, so she immediately changed her statement.
"It's the acidic substance in the Tianxian vine. If you come into contact with it too much, it will cause kidney failure just like musk. The emperor likes to use incense, and this substance is mixed in with the incense. Over time, it will damage your kidney function, and then... you will always run to the toilet."
Mei Susu felt that any normal person could understand what she said, after all, she expressed it very clearly.
But Zhao Zhen didn't seem to understand what she meant. He asked her with a confused look on his face, "But this Tianxian vine is not poisonous. Even if it contains the acidic substance you mentioned, how can it harm people?"
Mei Susu couldn't explain it to him in a modern way, so she could only say it more simply and clearly: "Musk is also non-toxic, so why can it cause miscarriage and infertility? It's because musk is like this by nature, and the same is true for Tianxian Teng. If men use it too much, it will have the same effect as musk, but Tianxian Teng is warm in nature and not as strong as musk. It can harm people invisibly without being noticed."
Mei Susu blushed when she said this, and she bravely asked Emperor Shunde in a low voice: "I wonder how the emperor is doing in terms of sex? Do you feel that you are not able to do it?"
"Bold!" Emperor Shunde immediately raised his eyebrows and glared at Mei Susu with displeasure.
Mei Susu immediately returned to her knees on the cushion, trembling with fear and shrinking her neck: "My daughter has overstepped the boundaries, Your Majesty, please calm down, and I will not ask any more questions."
Emperor Shunde's face was as black as charcoal, not because Mei Susu asked him those questions without thinking.
But she touched his pain point.
He was not obsessed with women. Although he had many concubines in his harem, he did not spend every night in the arms of a woman.
Over the years, apart from going to the Queen's room regularly every month, he spent most of his time in the Imperial Study, which was considered to be very disciplined.
But in the past year, he clearly felt that he was no longer able to perform well in sexual intercourse. In the past, after a stick of incense, he could take a rest and then embrace a beautiful woman to reach ecstasy again.
Now it is hard to even last half an incense stick.
The imperial physician had treated him many times, but each time he would tell him to rest more because he was too busy with government affairs.
I took a lot of medicines to calm the mind, nourish the heart, nourish yin and replenish yang, but they didn't have any effect.
He had not thought much about it. After all, he was busy with political affairs and he was over 40. His body was not as good as when he was in his prime. These were inevitable.
But after hearing what Mei Susu said today, he realized that these symptoms were not caused by something wrong with his body, but by someone tampering with him.
You have to know that he is the emperor. If something goes wrong in that aspect and he cannot have children, he can only pass the throne to his already born prince.
There was no need to think too much about the person who did this, as Emperor Shunde already had some thoughts in his mind.
He tapped the table with his fingers, and his eyes fell on the obedient person kneeling again: "Since you can smell the difference in the incense on my body, do you have a way to detoxify it?"
Mei Susu's big eyes were timid, and she shook her head without saying a word.
Emperor Shunde remembered that he had been mean to her when he was angry just now, and immediately found it a little funny. This little girl was quite vindictive.
"I am the emperor. You have no manners when talking to me. How can I not be mean to you?"
Mei Susu curled her lips and said, "As a doctor, this is what I should ask. Your Majesty is a patient, so why can't I ask?"
"How dare you talk back to me?" Emperor Shunde immediately pretended to be fierce.
Mei Susu stood up straight and was not afraid of him at all: "Even if your majesty is mean to me, I will still say that I am not wrong."
"Ah..." Emperor Shunde met such an interesting person like Mei Susu for the first time, and he immediately said to Zhao Zhen with a smile: "The little girl is young, but she has a bad temper. She dares to talk to me like this. Aren't you afraid that I will chop off her head?"
Zhao Zhen: "Miss Susu has a pure heart. Such an innocent heart is rare."
Emperor Shunde hummed, and his expression became much gentler when he looked at Mei Susu: "It's my fault this time, I shouldn't be so harsh on you. So tell me how you can help me detoxify."
Mei Susu's big eyes rolled, and her pouting mouth immediately drooped. Her eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she looked so pitiful.
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had not yet fallen, and cried softly: "To be honest, what I lack most now is money. There are many things in the palace that need to be managed. After entering the palace, I have no money and it is difficult to move around. If your majesty can help me in my time of need, I will remember your majesty's kindness and personally offer the method to detoxify you."
Just as Mei Susu finished speaking, an extremely cold voice came from the palace entrance: "Susu, why don't you talk to me about how I can make you penniless and unable to move around in the palace."
