Chapter 674: Antidote (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The imperial edict to restore the t.i.tle of Duke to the Song family was issued at the end of October. At that time, Shen Yijia and MO Yuan were rushing to make pills to suppress the Heart Devouring Poison in the pharmacy.

The women of the Fragrant Teahouse had all come out of the Imperial Capital. Including the ones Liu Piaopiao had secretly saved, there were actually more than 200 of them.

Thinking about the women who had been tortured to death or died during their missions, they didn’t even know how many innocent women Shangguan Pu had harmed in the past five years.

The deceased had already pa.s.sed away.

What troubled Shen Yijia the most now was the poison in these people. If they could not find the Heart Devouring Gra.s.s to make a true antidote, they would have to continue relying on suppression medicine to survive. One pill per person meant 200 pills a month.

Not to mention that there were a lot of them, this so-called suppressant was a poison to begin with. It used its poison to resist the Heart Devouring Poison and achieve a temporary balance.

It was like drinking poison to quench your thirst.

However, this was not the main point. During this period of time, they realized that a few women could no longer get a significant effect from taking the suppressant, and would still relapse.

After asking, they found out that these women were the earliest batch to enter the Fragrant Teahouse. They could obtain two antidotes every month.

This meant that their bodies had already begun to slowly develop a resistance to these drugs. Sooner or later, even suppressant medicine would not be able to save them.

It was fine if they didn’t know. Since they knew, they couldn’t pretend to be ignorant like the useless emperor, and watch them die when the suppressant medicine was rendered completely useless.

However, more than a month had pa.s.sed. Uncle Yang and Shopkeeper w.a.n.g had not sent back any news about the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, and there was no sign of the Heart Devouring Gra.s.s.

Shen Yijia sighed. “We can only place our hopes on the beautiful uncle now.”

Xuanyuan Ce left three days ago. He knew that the Heart Devouring Gra.s.s they were looking for might be in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, so he revealed that he was also looking for the Valley of Heavenly Secrets and said that he would keep an eye out for it. He didn’t say anything else.

MO Yuan paused.

“Sister-in-law, are you done?” Sister Huan urged from outside the door.

“I’m done, I’ll be right there,” Shen Yijia replied. She quickly put the pills into a porcelain bottle and left the pharmacy with MO Yuan.

Excitement surged in Sister Huan’s eyes. “Sister-in-law, we can go home soon. ”

In her short 11 years of life, she spent nine years in the residence on Xuanwu

Street.

There were too many memories there. To her and Brother Hao, that was their true home.

No one knew how many times she and Brother Hao had wandered outside the former Duke’s residence in the past few months after returning to the capital.

Shen Yijia was also a little excited, although she had only lived there for two days and did not even know the layout inside.

However, when she thought about how her beautiful husband might be as happy as Sister Huan, she was also happy.

When they arrived at the front hall, Song Jingchen had just returned.

It was Eunuch Li who came to read the imperial edict.

He still remembered that he was the one who brought the imperial edict to raid the Song family. Perhaps no one had expected the Song family to rise again.

After Eunuch Li finished reading the imperial edict in a sharp voice, he looked at the person kneeling in front of him. The scene in his eyes coincided with two years ago.

Ahem, there was one difference. The little girl who refused to kneel back then was now kneeling obediently beside Song Jingchen.

How could Eunuch Li know that at that time, it was not that Shen Yijia was unwilling to kneel, but that she did not know that she was supposed to kneel. Of course, the most important thing was that she could not bear to let go of the beauty she had just obtained.

“Duke, please get up quickly.” Eunuch Li placed the imperial edict in Song Jingchen’s hand and helped him up. He smiled and said, “No one has lived in the Bulwark Duke’s residence for too long. His Majesty has already arranged for the Internal Affairs Bureau to be in charge of repairing and cleaning. Wait a few more days. When the time comes, you can move in directly.”

Along with the imperial edict were more than ten boxes of rewards, piled up in a courtyard.

Ever since she found out that the emperor’s rewards could not be exchanged for money, Shen Yijia was no longer interested in these things.

However, when Eunuch Li instructed someone to open the introductions one by one, she couldn’t help but look over.

The emperor did not disappoint her. Apart from a thousand taels of silver, everything else was flashy and useless. They could only be used to occupy the storeroom.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. A thousand taels of silver was just the combined income of all her shops for a month. She did not care.

Shen Yijia carried the box of silver back to the backyard and hid it, leaving the other boxes alone in the courtyard..
