Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543: There Are Many Major Clans
She wanted to curse someone, but realizing that no amount of cursing would help, she held back.
The top priority was to save these people. The old emperor had gone mad, and she couldn’t afford to lose her head too.
“Qian Jiyun, there’s no time to waste. I must hurry and arrange for help. We can’t let these poisons really be spread among the major clans; if that happens, everything will be over,” she said.
“I’ll come with you; we need to stop by Prince Zhanyun’s residence first,” Qian Jiyun replied.
“Alright.”
Eldest Brother Yan answered, and the two of them left the Emperor’s sleeping quarters.
Upon leaving the sleeping quarters, he issued a command to seal off the old emperor’s sleeping quarters. With that done, the Emperor truly couldn’t do anything anymore.
No matter how the old emperor cursed in his sleeping quarters, other than those who came thrice a day for meals and cleaning, he saw no one else.
But the old emperor could no longer harm anyone outside, and considering Qian Jiyun’s current standing, he didn’t dare to.
After refining a good amount of Antidote Powder, An Jiuyue stepped out from the space.
“You’re back?”
Just arriving in the courtyard, she saw Qian Jiyun and Eldest Brother Yan sitting at the stone table talking, with Xia Junfeng and Xia Huafeng beside them.
“Has the old emperor said anything? Where has he taken the poison?”
Upon hearing her voice, Qian Jiyun immediately stood up and came to her side.
“It’s been sent to the major clans.”
“The major clans?”
An Jiuyue’s eyes flickered, and she turned to the three people sitting behind Qian Jiyun.
“Does he intend to destroy all the major clans and plunge Daqing Kingdom into internal chaos?”
At her words, Eldest Brother Yan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, truly not wanting to admit that the old emperor was his Emperor; such a malevolent mind was truly distressing.
“No news has come from the major clans yet, but no information can be obtained from the Emperor, he refuses to speak,” he said.
They had discussed this earlier; just because the Emperor had been imprisoned didn’t mean that the matter was over. Instead, they truly couldn’t find the people who had been sent to the clans to poison them.
But he didn’t dare to take the risk of letting the Emperor maintain contact with the outside world, as the consequences were likewise more than he could bear.
“Do you not know which major clans are involved?”
An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun and asked.
“Not exactly.”
Qian Jiyun shook his head; they could guess which major clans would catch the old emperor’s eye and be worth targeting.
“It’s just not clear when they will make their move.”
He led An Jiuyue to sit down at the stone table, then stood behind her.
“We were just discussing where to start. We’ve already sent people out, but there are many clans.”
“That’s easy to handle.”
An Jiuyue didn’t seem concerned at all.
With a lift of her hand, many porcelain bottles were placed on the table, leaving Eldest Brother Yan and the others marveling.
They thought it was surprising enough that the second brother was an inter-plane traveler from Huayan Peak, but now it seemed Jiuyue, his wife, was also an extraordinary person. However, it was unclear what exactly she was to Huayan Peak.
“These are all medicinal powders for the antidote. Although the toxicity of the Half Puppet Poison is severe, it won’t kill instantly. There’s about half an hour to take the antidote.”
“This is the antidote?”
Eldest Brother Yan’s eyes shined brightly as he looked at the porcelain bottles.
As long as there was an antidote, the situation could be managed. If he could send more help, the major clans could still be saved.
