Chapter 556: Want The Antidote

Qing Zhu instantly skipped towards Ning Meng Yao, she chuckled and said: “Miss, Master is really amazing. He has not returned because he definitely has something that he has not resolved.”

”I know. Qing Zhu, what’s the situation at the Imperial Merchant’s side?” Ning Meng Yao placed the child back in the cradle, she then turned around and looked at Qing Zhu as she asked in a serious manner.

”There’s only the restaurant remaining. We’ve already spread the news right now, many people did not believe it at the beginning, but after trying out according to what we said, everyone was in a panic, I’m afraid it’s really lively outside due to the panic,” It had just been a few days but the major cities in Ling Empire was in a mess, especially the restaurant which was opened by the people from Miaojiang, it was even more serious over there.

If the symptoms were milder, they could head home to handle it themselves, for those with more serious symptoms, they almost wanted the restaurant demolished.

Song Li had been lying in bed ever since she was brought back from the entrance of the Regent’s Residence, she would be facing unendurable pain every day, no matter what she was thinking about, the Gu worm in her body would cause trouble.

She originally wanted to use her own Gu worm to devour the other party’s Gu worm, but for some unknown reason, that tiny Gu worm was actually not afraid of her Gu worm, Just when she was about to take action, a different type of headache would appear.

She had an imperial doctor check on her pain, and he told her she was poisoned, and he had no way to cure it.

Song Li almost strangled that person to death after finding out the news, in the end, it was the old man who had saved the imperial doctor.

The old man looked at Song Li who had an ugly expression: “Imperial Consort, there’s a problem.”

Song Li endured her physical pain, she frowned and asked: “What’s it now?”

”The only restaurant that remained has some problems, most of the restaurants have been smashed right now, there are not many remaining. Even the people in the restaurant have been injured. If we still do not show up, I’m afraid this situation cannot be controlled, even the Ling Emperor has begun exerting pressure.”

”What?” Song Li’s expression changed, if there was a problem with the restaurant, then their influence in Ling Empire would completely crumble.

”Imperial Consort, it’s not only in Ling Empire, even our businesses in other empires are also……” Although the old man did not continue speaking, Song Li was well aware, that means to say that those businesses had already been affected, or even closed down.

”Go handle this matter, no matter what, you must handle it properly,” Song Li immediately instructed, after that, she told him what he must keep an eye out for.

After hearing Song Li’s instruction, the old man’s face was wrinkled like a prune. He would not be so anxious if it could easily be handled.

One had to know that the people who dined in their restaurants were the rich and powerful, now that the cat was out of the bag, it would be weird if the other party allowed them to easily settle this matter.

Moreover, seeing the Ling Emperor’s attitude, if they did not handle this matter properly, they would be pointed out. The Ling Emperor would definitely shove all the blame to them.

”Imperial Consort, we are unable to resolve it this way. Those people want the antidote, they already know the medicinal power from the illusory flower was placed in the dishes,” The old man replied to Song Li with a helpless expression. 

Song Li frowned: “How did they find out?”

”I’m afraid Tong Bao Zhai had pointed it out. If we are unable to take out the antidote, those people would not take things lying down,” The old man looked at Song Li with a helpless expression, hoping she could come up with an idea.

Song Li swept the things by her side to the ground, her face was filled with murderous intent. During this period of time, nothing went according to her plans.

”It’s impossible for us to bring out the illusory grass.”

”Imperial Consort, do you wish for the Ling Emperor to point us out and make us the scapegoats?” The old man looked at Song Li with displeasure.

It was Song Li’s idea at that time to use the illusory flowers, there was a problem right now and she did not wish to handle it?

Song Li’s gaze became slightly cold, she looked solemnly at the old man: “You are blaming me?”

”I do not dare, I just do not wish for us to swallow the bitter pill in vain,” He won’t feel any heartache if those restaurants are gone, but he would feel heartache if the people are gone.   

After all, does she know how much time and energy it takes to train a person?

”I am the master.”
