The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 62

According to Huang Long's story, he managed to find the perpetrator who misused the tribute. The officials of the area were bribed to give their troops to support him for an uprising.

When Huang Long wanted to ask the person for confirmation, it turned out that the person had already left and was hiding. Empress Shi was involved with this because the perpetrator who bribed the officials was her own brother, the royal adviser, Shi XuanRan.

Xie Hongyi looked at Huang Long with an indecipherable look. He knew what it was like to be betrayed by the most trusted person. Xie Hongyi would not say any words of comfort to Huang Long since he knew the man would have already been able to accept the reality. The most important thing now is how to make a plan for the future.

Xie Hongyi gave a suggestion. "I think we should find Shi's family's hiding place first."

Xie Hongyi knew that this must have caused internal turmoil. There will definitely be some parties who are cons with the kingdom to take advantage of the chaotic situation. "We must also not tell about the betrayal of the Shi family to the officials. I'm afraid there'll be a difference of opinion on this." News of the Prime Minister's family committing state crimes must be kept secret first.

But paper cannot wrap fire. Without even being told, those officials would have known.

Huang Long agreed with Xie Hongyi. "You're right. I thought the same thing."

"Who knows this?"

"Me, you and some of my confidants."

Xie Hongyi nodded in understanding. He suddenly said: "It is better that His Majesty is also careful with the Chen family."

Currently all the parties living in the Palace could not be certain whether they were on the Emperor's side or not. Also, from the very beginning, Xie Hongyi had indeed started to get suspicious of the Queen Mother.

Huang Long looked at Xie Hongyi with a frowned. Xie Hongyi only smiled when he saw Huang Long's reaction. "Then I leave." Huang Long was still staring at him. "This time I'm really gone."

Meanwhile in a room underground.

After hearing the information from one of his people, the person sitting on a wooden chair fell silent for a moment. The man next to her said: "What are you going to do?" He was an old man with a long white beard that closed his chin. His old eyes were full of crime lines.

The younger man finally made a sound. "I'll take care of that woman."

The old man asked again. "What are you planning?"

The man smiled mysteriously. His peach eyes flashed full of evil. "Since that woman has kindly told Huang Long, I will give her a gift that she will never forget." The person who gave the information suddenly felt goosebumps as his Master spoke. It is certain that tonight, the woman will definitely be in a bad state.

The old man patted the shoulder of the man sitting on the chair. "good. I'm looking forward to what you're gonna do to her."

Unaware of anyone having evil intentions towards him, Xie Hongyi walked over with a soft humming towards the Lotus residence. "System, if I help Huang Long overcome this rebellion I will definitely get an interesting reward, right?"

"of course. But now you have to think of a way to petrify the main protagonist."

Xie Hongyi nodded. Not long after, he finally reached his residence. After he entered the room, picking up something inside his sleeve that was none other than a book that contained the antidote to Huang Long's poison. After reading the introduction about the Lingtian poison, Xie Hongyi finally came to a passage about the antidote. "The ingredients needed to make the antidote are 5 g of snow plants on the northern mountain, 4 g of cinnamon bark, 5 hundred years of lingzhi plants, 1 thousand-leaf peaches, and one thousand leaves, 5 pieces of gods, 6 sheets of twilight flower petals, 5 gr of moonwood roots, 6 gr of cat whiskers plant, half a cup of boiled water of starflower leaves and a drop of blood from the same bloodline as the patient who was exposed to the poison."

After he finished reading it, Xie Hongyi's face became ugly. The ingredients turned out to be very hard to come by! Moreover, the snow plants that Xie Hongyi knew of only grew in the northern mountain. The territory belonged to the power of the Northern Kingdom, so if he forced his way in, he would only bring his own life.

Also, a drop of blood from the same bloodline, where should Xie Hongyi look for him? He did not know whether Huang Long's father who was the previous Emperor was still alive or not.

The man was not a good father, so Xie Hongyi doubted whether Huang Long would forgive him.

Xie Hongyi gritted his teeth furiously then hit the system. "I didn't do anything wrong!" The system complained as it stared at Xie Hongyi with a pity.

Xie Hongyi who had become light-handed, not caring about the whining of the system, he continued to beat her to vent emotions. For some reason, lately the feelings are always mixed.

System grumbling in the heart. "I'm a poor system!"

After being satisfied with beating up the system, Xie Hongyi planned to go to the Empire's medical office. There may be some materials available there.

After walking for quite a while, he finally arrived. Xie Hongyi was so shocked as he went inside and saw his older brother Xie Heiyang being with Consort Chen. Xie Hongyi could hear their conversation.

"Do you understand this part?"

Concubine Chen was seen staring fixedly at Xie Heiyang. "Yes." Yeah."

Xie Hongyi who saw it, tilted his head and his hand held his chin. She naturally knew the meaning of Consort Chen's gaze on her brother. Xie Hongyi paid respect to the woman because she was not one of the women who was interested in Huang Long's charisma.

Xie Hongyi greeted the two of them. "Gege, Consort Chen."

Concubine Chen showed a face that seemed to be disturbed, while Xie Heiyang was instead the opposite, the man was very enthusiastic about Xie Hongyi's presence. "Hong 'er? You came at the right time! I was very curious about the brain splitting method you mentioned that day, so you should tell me how!"

Inevitably, Xie Hongyi ended up talking about that method of treatment. Xie Heiyang listened carefully to Xie Hongyi's words, while Consort Chen showed a twisted melon face and a cracked jujube.

Xie Hongyi almost laughed with the woman's reaction. But he was finally able to hold it. After he finished explaining, he looked at Concubine Chen and said: "Regarding what happened a while ago, I am sorry for the death of Consort Chen's sister."

Concubine Chen replied curiously. "Yes, it's a long time ago."

He had no sense of fraternity with Chen Xinjing because he was not very close to her, nor was he the son of a legitimate wife, while his younger brother was born to his father's concubine. His father always imposed harsh limits on the status of his children. Looking at the two brothers side by side, Consort Chen felt that he should not be here. He finally decided to leave with a heavy heart. "Concubine Xie, Mr. Xie I'm leaving." Xie Hongyi and Xie Heiyang replied with a nod.

After Consort Chen left, Xie Hongyi immediately said his purpose was to come here. "Gege, is there a god fruit here, cinnamon, a hundred-year-old lingzhi plant, and a thousand-leaf peach? I need all of that to make a cure." He did not mention the other ingredients because he knew they would not be here.

Xie Heiyang frowned. "Hong'er, you know the ingredients you mentioned are rare materials. Also if there is, those ingredients will soon be used by other healers for treatment."

Xie Hongyi said with a bit of sadness. "Is there really nothing?"

Xie Heiyang did not disappoint Xie Hongyi. "Of course not everything is used. Just a minute." After saying so, Xie Heiyang left in front of Xie Hongyi.

Not long after, he returned with a box. "This is the fruit of the gods you need." He opened the box and gave it to Xie Hongyi.

Xie Hongyi received the box with a happy heart. The god fruit turned out to be shaped like an apple but it was purple in color with both ends being black. The fruit gives off a very fragrant aroma. He raised his head to look at Xie Heiyang. "Where can I find the others?"

Xie Heiyang explained. "The supply of cinnamon bark is up, but you can take it in the Palace's medicinal herb garden or in our Family. For a hundred-year-old lingzhi plant, usually found in a cave in the middle of the forest, and for a thousand-leaf peach, the fruit is very difficult to get because usually the tree will grow on the edge of the cliff."
