Chapter 694 Only Two Hours
Knowing that Lao Qi was coming back, Zian was in a good mood and didn't bother to worry about these things.
The two Wan are still very sensible for the time being, and they dare not make any troubles. Zian asked Wang Jun to find two people to watch them and not allow them to run around. If something happens on this happy day, there will be more troubles.
After dealing with these matters, Zian said to Wang Jun: "You order someone to catch a few mice, I will use them later."
"Mouse?" Wang Jun's eyes widened, "What does the princess want the mouse for?"
Still use it at night.
"It's useful!" Zi'an smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
Wang Jun is not a meddlesome person either, he just asked Zian because he was surprised that he wanted to find a mouse, but now that she said it would be useful, he stopped asking and followed his orders.
In the evening, Wang Jun really came over with an iron cage, which contained several mice with gray and white fur, jumping around alive and well in the cage.
"Okay, just let it go." Zi'an pointed to the corner of the wall and said.
"Okay." Wang Jun put down the mouse and kicked the cage lightly, "It's still very lively."
"What I want is liveliness," Zi'an said.
After sending everyone out, Zian stayed alone in the room.
Sun Fang'er gave her three fake death pills, three antidotes, and an instruction manual.
Sun Fang'er's handwriting is very beautiful, arranged in an orderly manner, and the writing is very crisp.
Zian weighed the amount himself, ground up a fake death pill, picked some with his fingernails, and fed it to a mouse with bibimbap.
Then, and so on, the next mouse added a little more weight to start timing.
The first mouse started to move about an hour after eating.
The others all entered a state of suspended animation an hour ago.
Sun Fang'er wrote here that the suspended animation can only be maintained for twelve hours, and if the antidote is not taken after twelve hours, it will become a real death.
Therefore, at noon the next day, Zian fed the antidote one after another, carefully controlling the amount, but none of the mice woke up.
In less than twelve hours, the mice did not wake up after feeding the antidote. Either the dose of the feigned death drug she administered was too heavy, or the antidote was ineffective.
In the evening, the mice still hadn't woken up, Zian had no choice but to order people to throw all the mice out, and then catch some mice back.
This time, she shortened the time to release the antidote. After feeding the fake death medicine, she administered the antidote at one hour, two hours, three hours, and four hours respectively.
The mice that took the antidote for one hour and two hours woke up, but the mice that took the antidote for three hours and four hours did not wake up.
This means that the fake death medicine is not taken within twelve hours, as Sun Fang'er said, but can be undone within two hours.
Two hours is far from enough time.
When Xia Lin was found dead, the emperor would definitely send the imperial doctor to come over to see him, and there was a delay of at least half an hour.
After the death is confirmed, the emperor will not send him out of the palace immediately, because he will fully investigate the cause of Xia Lin's death. This delay may not be an hour or two, but may be a day or two.
Then Linlin would change from a fake death to a real death.
Two hours, how can the emperor send Linlin out of the palace within two hours?
It was impossible for her to pick it up, because Linlin "died" suddenly, and before the matter was made public, it was impossible for her to receive news through formal channels.
Therefore, she cannot enter the palace either.
When I was thinking about it, Xiao Sun came in and said that the eldest princess was here.
Zian had no choice but to pack up his mood and go out to see Zhuang Zhuang.
Zhuang Zhuang looked very happy today, bringing Qin Zhi and Qiong Hua in with a smile on his face.
Seeing Zian, she frowned, "According to the schedule, Lao Qi and the others should arrive today, why don't you look very happy as a wife?"
Zi'an forced a smile on his face, "What's wrong with you?"
"Look at you, how forced are you to smile? What's the matter?" Zhuang Zhuang took her hand in, "Is it because of the reward from the Empress Dowager?"
Zian smiled, "It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles."
"She put people into your house with great fanfare, who doesn't know?" Zhuang Zhuang snorted, "Her kindness is really annoying, and you are too. Why did you accept it?"
"I'm too lazy to argue with her."
Seeing her frowning, Zhuang Zhuang asked, "What's going on?"
Zian ordered Xiaosun to close the door, and then told her about the fake death plan given by Sun Fanger, and also told Zhuang Zhuang the results of his own research.
After Zhuang Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help being angry, "Is he really crazy?"
"What's the point of sacrificing others so that you can live? Probably many people think this way, and your own life is always more important than the lives of others."
"Two hours, how could it be possible to transport Xia Lin out of the palace? If the hour is delayed, it will be a dead end." Zhuang Zhuang also became worried.
"I have thought about several options, but they are not feasible."
Zhuang Zhuang thought for a while, and said: "Do you see if this works? After Xia Lin's fake death, within two hours, the emperor must have seen him. If he is sure that he is dead, he will not see him again. Even if he investigates, he will not Would you watch the corpse for investigation? That way, Sun Fang'er can secretly pour down the antidote, Xia Lin wakes up after taking the antidote, but she still pretends to be dead until she can be transported out of the palace, what do you think?"
Zian shook his head, "I've thought about what you said, but it's not feasible. If a person is not dead, he will breathe, and he must have sounds and movements, and Linlin is not good at disguising. It's not good to be a horse's foot. Besides, those who handle the corpses in the palace must be people from Xiwei Palace, these people are the emperor's confidantes, and they can't be fooled or bribed."
"Do you think Liang Shulin can help?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.
"I also thought that if he can help, there is a certain chance of winning. However, this matter cannot be handled by him alone. If his feet are exposed, not to mention his official position, he probably won't even protect his head. Do you think Liang Shulin would be willing to give up his wealth and life to help Linlin?"
Zhuang Zhuang shook his head, "That's not true. The last time Ling Li was let go, it was because his interests were not harmed."
"That's right, last time he just made a favor."
The two thought hard to no avail, and finally, Zhuang Zhuang said: "How about waiting for Lao Qi to come back and ask him what can be done? It's better than the two of us thinking about it here."
Zian said worriedly: "I'm afraid that if he stays in the palace for one more day, he will be more dangerous."
Zhuang Zhuang was also very angry and worried. During the days when Zian went to Beimo, although they met each other, they just nodded lightly and didn't say a word.
Thinking of those deceptions, she only felt an indescribable depression and sharp pain in her heart.
All this time, she had been persuading herself, forget it, all he did was not entirely for himself.
However, whenever the night was quiet, the heart-piercing pain of the past would resurface again, reminding her that relatives were even more indifferent than strangers.
People who have never been in pain may not know the taste of it.
