Chapter 1544: Chapter 1544: This Person is Crazy

“I’ll immediately send someone from the Longhu Guards. There are so many of them, it should be enough.”

“Are there that many major clans?”

At his words, An Jiuyue’s mouth twitched.

She looked at the porcelain bottles on her desk and thought to herself, Are these antidotes enough, or will they only be able to save some of the people?

Should she enter her space again to refine more antidote powder?

“Should I refine some more antidote powder?”

She tilted her head and looked at Qian Jiyun, who was standing behind her.

“From what I can think of, there are over twenty major clans, all with significant influence in Daqing Kingdom. If someone strikes against them, the economic lifelines of Daqing Kingdom will all be severed,” Qian Jiyun said.

“Then these should be enough.”

An Jiuyue felt relieved. With over twenty porcelain bottles of antidote powder, it should suffice.

“This is the latest medicinal powder I’ve developed. It doesn’t need to be taken orally; one only needs to inhale the powder after being poisoned, and it can also be used with a fumigation method.”

“Fumigation method?”

Xia Junfeng and Xia Huafeng exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.

This type of detoxifying medicine should be afraid of fire, shouldn’t it? How would it work with a fumigation method?

“It means lighting a fire and then throwing the medicinal powder into it so that the potency of the medicine can be maximized through combustion, and then it can be spread by the wind direction to administer the antidote. I developed this powder bearing in mind what you told me before, about the poison in those homes being spread through the air,” An Jiuyue explained.

“Jiyun, since no news has come of the major clans suffering any mishaps, I suppose the old emperor wants to catch them off guard,” An Jiuyue said, without dwelling on how to administer the antidote. She placed one hand on Qian Jiyun’s, which was resting on her shoulder, and softly addressed everyone.

“He must have set a time for his people to act,” Qian Jiyun said.

This was the result they had come up with after their recent discussion. Even if the old emperor hadn’t mentioned it, they could still guess. However, they were not very familiar with the major clans and even if they knew someone was targeting them, it would be difficult to pinpoint who it was at a moment’s notice.

Moreover, they couldn’t afford to delay. The more they waited, the more opportunity they gave the old emperor’s people to strike.

“It must be so. If we could notify those major clans… Forget it, it’s not possible,” An Jiuyue shook her head, dismissing the idea herself.

“Yes, it wouldn’t work,” Xia Huafeng sighed and shook his head.

He had thought of this as well, but Xia Junfeng had immediately dismissed it.

If they sent someone to negotiate with the major clans, telling them the old emperor was out to destroy them, then even if they were safe, Daqing Kingdom’s internal strife would begin.

Besides, if one day someone suddenly came to tell them that someone was planning to kill them, they would probably think that person was insane.

“We must adapt to the ever-changing situation and act accordingly,” Qian Jiyun said.

The move the old emperor had made was really troubling for them; the old emperor was probably quietly gloating over his strategy in his sleeping chamber right now.

“Sister-in-law, if not for your detoxifying powder, we would indeed be in a difficult position,” Eldest Brother Yan looked at An Jiuyue with gratitude and spoke.

Having an emperor of the royal family who took human lives so lightly was something he was too ashamed to face anyone over.

“It’s just some detoxifying powder. Take these first; I’ll refine another batch of medicinal powder and pills,” An Jiuyue said.
