Chapter 828 Anti-poetry!
As soon as Shen Jingyu said this, Xiao Tingshan's eyes brightened when he looked at her.
I have to say, if Shen Jingyu hadn't become what she is now, neither human nor ghost, she would have been a real help that cannot be underestimated.
After all, she was a talented woman who was once famous in Beijing, and her thoughts coincided with his.
But this alone is not enough.
Xiao Heyu had just died, so it would be difficult for Emperor Qianwu to make up his mind to execute another son.
In addition, Xiao Yuncheng must be made to offend Emperor Qianwu again.

Three days later, Shen Shuyi received news that during the morning court session, someone impeached Xiao Yuncheng for treason.
"Where is the evidence?" Shen Shuyi asked Jiang Li.
Jiang Li took out a piece of letter and handed it to Shen Shuyi: "It is said that someone found a hidden anti-poem in the Eighth Prince's past poems."
Shen Shuyi opened the letter and read softly: "The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. In the year of Jiazi, the world will be blessed."
Shen Shuyi burned the letter and chuckled, "What a great saying: The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. Xiao Tingshan's few lines of poetry are quite powerful."
Jiang Li couldn't help but ask, "Was it written by the Sixth Prince?"
Shen Shuyi sneered: "Who else could it be but him? I thought he would find a poem from Xiao Yuncheng's past calligraphy and painting and misinterpret it into a racist poem. I didn't expect that he would directly prepare one. Now this poem is pinned on Xiao Yuncheng. It can be said that Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone."
"Indeed, this poem was mentioned in a painting that the Eighth Prince once painted. Many people have seen that painting, but the Eighth Prince cannot find any evidence to prove it."
Shen Shuyi said nonchalantly: "Find an opportunity to pass a message to Xiao Yuncheng, saying that you discovered that Xiao Tingshan was secretly communicating with the people of the Li clan."
"Yes." Jiang Li responded and left.
Shen Shuyi was in a good mood. It would be best if Xiao Tingshan and Xiao Yuncheng fought to the death. It was not a good thing for the fisherman to benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam. It was a good thing no matter who won or lost.

Emperor Qianwu was furious about the anti-poetry incident, but due to the pleadings of several old ministers, Emperor Qianwu ultimately did not punish Xiao Yuncheng on the grounds of insufficient evidence.
Xiao Yuncheng was even more daring. He knelt outside the palace for three days under the scorching sun without drinking a drop of water to prove his innocence.
It was not until the third day when Xiao Yuncheng completely fainted that Emperor Qianwu ordered people to carry him away and sent imperial physicians to treat him.
Shen Shu thought that Emperor Qianwu's behavior showed that he at least half believed Xiao Yuncheng.
In this way, Xiao Tingshan was at a disadvantage.
A few days later, the officials involved in the Jinglou incident had not yet been investigated, but Li Tian retrieved the mother-child Gu from the Li clan and returned to the capital.
Seeing Li Tian coming back, Xiao Tingshan was overjoyed.
"Uncle, did you have a smooth trip?" Xiao Tingshan asked with concern.
Li Tian's tone softened a bit: "Thanks to you for being so careful and sending people to protect me secretly, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so smooth."
Xiao Tingshan said in a gentle tone: "Please forgive me for not telling you. I was worried that you might be offended, but I was really worried, so I..."
"Eh, no need to say more, I understand." Li Tian raised his hand to stop him, and then said: "Let me check your pulse first."
Xiao Tingshan immediately stretched out his wrist, and after Li Tian carefully took his pulse, his brows furrowed more and more.
"Have you been taking the tonic medicine you took before these days?"
Xiao Tingshan was unusually embarrassed, and said, "Please forgive me, uncle. I was exhausted a few days ago, and was impeached by the Eighth Prince. I had to cheer up and meet the emperor. Otherwise, I would be blamed for this!"
Li Tian sighed lightly: "Your Daqian court is always fighting. Given your physical condition, the best solution is to leave with me."
"If you take good care of yourself for a few years, your health might be able to recover. If you worry too much, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending in the future."
Xiao Tingshan's face turned pale and he smiled bitterly: "Uncle, sometimes you can't choose your fate."
"Just like I am a prince, but I have suffered for so many years. Just like I am also the son of the emperor, but I can only rely on this broken body..."
"What's more, didn't my uncle bring back the Mother-Child Gu? With this Gu, won't my nephew be saved?"
Li Tian sighed: "I did bring back the Mother-Child Gu, which is good, but it's not a long-term solution."
Xiao Tingshan said self-deprecatingly: "It won't last long. My nephew just wants to survive the present moment."
Li Tian said again: "If you have made up your mind, I will cast the Gu on you tomorrow. However, you will feel severe pain when the Gu worms move around in your body at first. It will gradually take effect after you are fully adapted to it."
"Please, uncle."

The next day, early in the morning.
As soon as it got light, Li Tian sent people to prepare things.
He lit the special spices used by the Li people, and then asked Xiao Tingshan to stretch out his wrist.
Li Tian took out a dagger, cut Xiao Tingshan's wrist, and then dripped a few drops of his blood into a porcelain jar.
Xiao Tingshan saw his blood fall into it and be devoured by the poisonous insects in an instant, and his throat couldn't help but tighten.
"Don't be afraid. I'm just feeding it with your blood so that it can get used to your scent."
Li Tian comforted him in a gentle voice. After a while, Li Tian took out the insect and placed it on Xiao Tingshan's wrist.
Xiao Tingshan held his breath and didn't blink.
The next moment, he felt a sharp pain, and then saw the poisonous insect drilling into the wound on his wrist.
Immediately afterwards, a tearing pain came over me.
Li Tian immediately stuffed a piece of ginseng into his mouth: "You are weak, you must hold on."
Because of the severe pain, beads of sweat the size of beans gradually seeped out of Xiao Tingshan's forehead, his face turned pale, and his lips were chapped.
Xiao Tingshan clenched his fists and growled.
Li Tian quickly gave him acupuncture and sealed several of his blood vessels. After a cup of tea, Xiao Tingshan looked like he had been fished out of the water.
But the pain has gradually dissipated.
"How?" Li Tian asked.
"It doesn't seem to hurt so much anymore." Xiao Tingshan spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.
Li Tian immediately took out another porcelain Gu and handed it to him, saying, "The one inside is the mother Gu. You must keep it well and nourish it with natural treasures and elixirs every day. The baby Gu in your body will also be nourished."
Xiao Tingshan carefully sensed his body and did not feel that it was as magical as the pill that made him feel full of energy and blood in just a few breaths.
But...it seems that it is not completely useless.
"The pill you took is very strong. Although the mother-child Gu is not as fast-acting as that pill and the results are not immediate, it has a long-lasting effect and can nourish your body at all times." Li Tiankuan instructed.
"Uncle, I have no way to repay your kindness!" Xiao Tingshan immediately stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
“No need to say more, but from now on, you must not take more pills, otherwise, even the mother and child Gu will be powerless to save the situation.” Li Tian warned worriedly.
"My nephew will follow my uncle's teachings."
