There are always sick girls with ill intentions towards me

Chapter 81 Cheongsam
The four treasures of the study were placed on the table, and Li Lingge looked at the composition of the paper in front of him.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of Liu Quan grinding ink.

From time to time, the sound of insects chirping could be heard outside the house, and Li Lingge's heart was particularly calm.

However, Liu Quan, who was standing by, became more and more confused the more he watched.

The prince did not write, but painted!
What is that high slit thing you're still mumbling about?
Li Lingge put pen to paper, and soon a cheongsam appeared on the paper.

Straight collar, right slanted opening, tight waist, below-knee length, slits on both sides, and narrow cuffs.

This is the style that Li Lingge had in mind, a cheongsam.

After finishing the painting, he turned to look at the embroiderer who had been waiting there.

"Can this dress be made?"

The embroiderer walked forward, took the pattern drawing, and found that the style of the top and skirt was very peculiar.

This skirt is almost tight to the body, and the calves are exposed. Is this... wearable?
"Your Highness, I have never seen this dress before. You can try it on."

"I have already written down the required dimensions for you. The material to be used is Yuejin. I want it today."

"My Lord, one day is probably..."

"All the embroiderers in the mansion are at your disposal today. If you still can't do it, I will find someone else to do it."

“Yes, I can do it!”

The embroiderer had no choice but to agree.

Replacing someone is not as simple as just handing him over to someone else. She is afraid that she will be kicked out of the palace.

After all, Steward Liu often said: The Prince Wei's Mansion does not keep idle people.

After taking another closer look at the pattern drawing in her hand, she finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"Your Highness, are the slits on both sides of this dress too high?"

Although this dress shows off her slim figure, the slit is almost reaching her buttocks. Isn't it completely exposed?
Li Lingge looked as if you didn't understand.

"Of course it has to be high. The higher the better!"

As the embroiderer walked out of the house, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

Could this robe be for the lady?

But after looking at the body dimensions on the paper, he shook his head.

As an embroiderer in the palace, she naturally knew the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship between the lady and the prince.

The size of her chest is obviously a bit bigger than that of an older woman, and it doesn't seem like the size of an older woman.

"Who could that be?"

……

Medicine refining courtyard.

Jingting was simulating the refining of the Nirvana Spirit Liquid, over and over again.

This is different from other elixirs. If it fails, you can start over again.

There is only one chance to refine the Nirvana Spirit Liquid.

He was only 98% sure in his mind. If he tried to refine it rashly, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Just then, Li Lingge walked into the room.

"What kind of elixir are you refining, Junior Brother?"

Jingting's body trembled, and the flames in the furnace suddenly jumped up.

Seeing this, Li Lingge moved closer with some confusion.

"Why are you so nervous? Is this some kind of forbidden elixir?"

Jingting waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, there's no way I can make that kind of medicine."

Although Yun Yourong did not say who the Nirvana Spirit Liquid was for, he could vaguely guess something.

The person that the abbot loves the most is probably the eldest senior brother.

The reason why it is limited to one month to be refined is probably because Tianshu Academy is about to open.

Therefore, the dean was worried that the eldest senior brother might encounter an accident in the Tianshu Secret Realm and wanted to give him a life-saving talisman.

I have been warned by the prison authorities not to tell anyone about this.

Facing Li Lingge, the person involved who was most likely unaware of the situation, he was naturally a little nervous.

Li Lingge looked into the alchemy furnace.

"Is that a pill similar to Hehuan?"

"Brother, please don't make fun of me."

Jingting no longer looked at the furnace of pills. The fire was too high and the pills were ruined.

Next time, be sure to lock the gate.

There were always people coming into the house quietly, without even looking at the sign he hung on the door: I'm making elixirs, please don't disturb!

"What's the matter, big brother?"

Li Lingge withdrew his gaze from the alchemy furnace.

“Is there a more chronic poison that is not easily detected?”

"Who does the eldest brother want to poison?"

"It's not me, it's me who has a friend!"

"Oh——" Jing Ting said with a look of understanding, "Does the friend of Senior Brother want poison pills or poison?"

Li Lingge thought for a moment.

"Venom, it's easier this way."

Hearing this, Jingting turned around and took out a black porcelain bottle from the cabinet.

"It is colorless and odorless, one drop every ten days, and it only takes a year. It is difficult to detect abnormalities."

Li Lingge didn't go to answer it.

"Is there a longer time? I need at least three years."

"Yes!" Jing Ting took out a red porcelain bottle from his arms. "One drop a month, the poisoned person will slowly become withered, and will surely die within five years."

Li Lingge took the red porcelain bottle, stared into Jingting's eyes and asked.

"Why do you carry this poison with you?"

Jingting: (-ω-)
"Big Brother, please listen to my explanation..."

……

Hanling Palace.

The dancers walked into the hall one by one, not knowing what the Queen wanted to do by suddenly summoning them.

Shen Fengyi looked at the dancer in front of her, and couldn't help but imagine herself wearing such a dress and dancing in front of Li Zei.

Her jade hands clenched tightly and her tone became a little colder.

"I want to learn... to watch you perform the Colorful Feather Dance."

She didn't want to learn this, but she has been feeling increasingly uneasy in recent days.

If Li Ze really wanted her to jump, but she couldn't do it, what should she do?
For the prince's throne, she must be fully prepared.

The dancers in the hall bent down one by one and took off their shoes and stockings.

Seeing this, Shen Fengyi stood up in confusion.

"I asked you to dance, why did you take off your shoes?"

The dancers paused and knelt down immediately. The leading woman explained.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, the Colorful Feather Dance is performed... barefoot."

Shen Fengyi opened her mouth and found it difficult to breathe.

No wonder Li Zei specifically asked to watch this dance, that's why!
Did Li Ze want to see her dancing? He obviously wanted to see her feet!

Shen Fengyi squeezed out two words from between her teeth.

"continue."

Soon, there were sounds of music and harps in the hall, and dancers in colorful clothes were dancing gracefully.

Shen Fengyi suppressed her anger but watched very seriously.

In her mind, she was dancing along with these dancers.

As a queen, you can't just go and learn dancing from a dancer openly.

After thinking about it, this was the only solution she could think of.

While watching, I secretly learned by myself.

At the end of the song, Shen Fengyi only said two words.

"continue."

The Feathered Dress Dance was performed ten times in a row. The dancers' foreheads were covered with sweat and their bodies were a little exhausted. Shen Fengyi had memorized most of the movements of the entire dance. She moved her hands gently with small movements.

When I encountered the familiar parts, I was basically able to follow the dancer's movements.

Later, she even closed her eyes and listened to the music, her hands following the movement of the music, gently plucking, rubbing, and picking.

She learned quickly and even felt that she must be very talented in dancing.

Perhaps because the movement was too large, the female official Chen Gongling standing nearby noticed something was wrong.

Just as Chen Gongling turned his head, Shen Fengyi had already put his hands in place and stopped moving.

But this still did not dispel Chen Gongling's doubts. What happened to the Queen? She watched the same dance more than ten times. Isn't she tired of it?
"It's common for emperors to be fond of women, but the queen also..."

However, her thoughts were soon interrupted.

"The Queen is in trouble!"

Little Dengzi ran into Ganquan Palace in a panic and knelt down in front of Shen Fengyi.

"Empress, something terrible has happened."

Shen Fengyi frowned slightly.

"What's the point of yelling and making a fuss? It's so disgraceful."

Little Dengzi banged his head hard on the ground.

"Fei Huanzhi, who was ordered to investigate the missing questions case, requested that His Majesty identify all the eunuchs in the palace one by one, without missing a single one."

"what!"

At this moment, Shen Fengyi no longer cared about propriety.

She was the one who ordered people to steal the test questions. If they were traced back to Xiao Dengzi, she would be finished.

Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

But as soon as the murderous intention arose, it disappeared.

At this critical moment, if the eunuch in charge of her died, wouldn't that be tantamount to confessing her guilt?
"Pack your things quickly and go back to your hometown first. Come back when the limelight comes."

"Ah?" Little Dengzi did not move immediately, "But the palace gates are now strictly guarded, and we can't get out."

Shen Fengyi stamped her feet in anger.

"Didn't you say there was a small gate over there at Donghua Gate?"

This palace seems to be strictly guarded, but in fact it is leaky from all sides.

People in the palace cannot leave the palace easily, so naturally some people have set their sights on this matter.

If she hadn't known about the affair between the Crown Prince and Concubine Xi, she, as the mistress of the harem, would not have known that there was such a secret door.

Fortunately, she did not abolish this secret door.

Now it seems that it is convenient for her.

Little Dengzi slapped his forehead.

"I am so frightened that I fainted. I will leave the palace right away."

……

An hour later.

Prison Department of Punishment.

The legal advisor standing next to Fei Huanzhi flattered.

"Your Excellency is indeed a man of foresight. As soon as the news got out, the kid immediately slipped out of the secret door and was caught by our people."

Fei Huanzhi, who was sitting in the presiding judge's seat, stroked his beard and glanced at Li Lingge who was standing beside him.

At first he was a little disdainful. He had already signed the agreement, but this guy still wanted to accompany him to the trial, as if he was afraid that he would not admit it.

However, now that he had really caught the person, he couldn't help but admire Li Lingge.

If Li Lingge had not pointed out the secret door in the palace, the eunuch would have really escaped.

Now, we know it was definitely done by this eunuch without even interrogating him.

If the eunuch hadn't been guilty, why would he have run out of the palace when he heard the news that he was going to identify everyone one by one?

No wonder the wanted portrait has been up for ten days without any clues. It turns out that the test questions were leaked by a eunuch.

"Did you sell the test questions? Tell me!"

Little Dengzi looked at Fei Huan with some fear.

"I don't know what you mean, sir. I just want to leave the palace to visit my seriously ill mother at home. No—"

Snapped!
Fei Huanzhi slammed the gavel in his hand and said angrily.

"It seems that you won't confess unless I torture you. I'll punish you severely!"

"Yes!"

The jailer immediately stepped forward, picked up little Dengzi and dragged him onto the torture device.

Looking at the horrific torture instruments behind him, little Dengzi's legs immediately went limp.

"I said, I said, I said it all!"

Fei Huan snorted coldly, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

His trip to Prince Wei's Mansion was not in vain, as the case was closed on the same day.

Li Lingge, I'll let you go this time. We can slowly settle new and old grudges later!
"Give him a pen and paper, and have him write down his confession and sign it."

In just a cup of tea, little Dengzi had written down the whole story in detail.

After being signed and sealed, the confession was soon presented to Fei Huanzhi.

On the side, Li Lingge looked at Fei Huanzhi silently, waiting to see the show.

He came today not because he was afraid that Fei Huanzhi would deny the debt later, but to watch the show.

Fei Huanzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea leisurely, glancing at Xiao Dengzi's confession out of the corner of his eye.

puff--

After seeing the contents of the confession carefully, Fei Huanzhi sprayed out the tea in his mouth.

Cough cough cough...

His face flushed and he couldn't help coughing violently.

"Huang, Huang——"

He held the confession in his hand in disbelief, and almost fainted after confirming it again and again.

"My Lord, my Lord, what is the matter with you?"

Seeing this, the lawyer hurriedly took a fan and fanned the room.

The case is about to be solved, and the health of the adults in their family cannot collapse at this time.

Li Lingge on the side laughed out loud and murmured softly.

"The emperor set the questions, the queen stole the questions, and now the servant who stole the questions has brought his confession to me, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Although his voice was not loud, Fei Huan heard every word clearly.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Fei Huanzhi slapped himself three times and said with a sad face.

"I am blind, I am blind..."

With the emperor on one side and the queen on the other, it was a hassle for him to even know about the case, let alone solve it.

The confession in my hand now is a hot potato.

He gave up his good job as a governor and instead ran to the capital to get involved in this muddy water.

Thinking of this, Fei Huanzhi slapped himself hard again.

This scared the master beside him.

"My Lord, what is the matter with you?"

Li Lingge continued.

"As a minister, if you do not report the truth to the emperor, you are deceiving the emperor; if you report the truth to the emperor, you are committing a crime.

"How can a humble official face the public and face Prime Minister Shen if he reveals that the Queen Mother is trying to alienate the Emperor and Empress? "

thump.

Before Li Lingge could finish his words, Fei Huanzhi had already fallen off his chair out of fear.

He sat down on the ground in a daze, with ten thousand ways of dying already appearing in his mind.

Ordinary people know that family disgrace should not be made public, let alone the royal family.

If such a thing were to come out of his mouth, even if Prime Minister Shen could forgive him, could His Majesty forgive him?

But if I conceal the truth, the deadline is approaching and how will I explain to His Majesty then?

What's more, Li Lingge was standing right next to him and could see the contents of the confession clearly.

If he dared to conceal the truth, Li the thief would definitely report the matter to the emperor.

At that time, I will convict myself of deceiving the emperor...
