The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

During the dinner, Dongfang Li accidentally glanced at the burning candlestick in the room, and saw that the candle was burning very vigorously. If you look closely, there seemed to be a hint of green in the firelight.

"what happened?"

Nangong Xu, who had been paying attention to Dongfang Li, immediately noticed something strange about her.

"Do you change the candles in your house every day?"

"Every morning the candles in the house will be replaced with new ones, and the replaced ones will be melted and made into new ones by a dedicated person. Is there something wrong with these candles?"

Knowing that Dongfang Li would not inquire about these matters casually, Nangong Xu immediately called Xunyu over.

"I have met the prince and the princess."

"Who comes to change the candles in the house every day?"

"Back to your lord, these are all arranged by Xun Jian, but there are records in the house."

"Let Xunjian come over."

"Yes."

Xunyu bowed and stepped back. Nangong Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at Dongfang Li opposite. When Xunyu came in just now, he naturally did not miss the deliberate tapping gesture in her hand.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ali……"

Nangong Xu showed a helpless expression.

"Okay, the penalty has been passed. There are still many things he needs to do."

Dongfang Li thought about it and guessed that he must have seen what he did just now, but it didn't matter. He just found a step and got down.

"Okay, listen to Ali."

What can he do to his own wife?

After both of them had eaten, Xunyu appeared in Linfeng Pavilion supporting Xunjian.

"My subordinates have met the prince and the princess."

"Well, get up."

Nangong Xu raised his hand to signal Xun Yu to lift up Xun Jian who was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Zhang has been changing the candles in the mansion, but my subordinates have just checked. A few days ago, Uncle Zhang was not in good health, and it was his son who helped change them. My subordinates have asked Uncle Zhang to change them. I brought my son here."

Dongfang Li glanced at Nangong Xu, as if to say, "Look, it's right to let Xun Jian come over and deal with everything directly."

Nangong Xu nodded. Of course he knew Xunjian's ability. He had been handling all the big and small things in the house these years and rarely let himself worry about it. He only wanted to beat him this time to make him understand Dongfang Li's position in his heart. That's all...

Uncle Zhang was still a little panicked when he was brought over. You have to know that with their status, they can't see the prince a few times throughout the year. The reason why he can stay in the prince's mansion for a few days this time is because his father is sick and no one can That's why Melang Wax was kept for a few days to take care of his father's health, and then he would be sent out of the house.

"The villain Zhang Qi has met Prince Xu and Miss Dongfang."

Zhang Qi knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

"Oh? You recognize me?"

Dongfang Li rarely goes out, and the places he goes to most are He Yuexuan and the current Prince Xu's Mansion.

"As I guess, Prince Xu is not a womanizer. He was just given a marriage a while ago. There are rumors that the lady from the General's Mansion took the initiative to move here to take care of the seriously ill Prince..."

Zhang Qi's voice became softer and quieter, until later it was almost as loud as a mosquito.

"Ok?"

"There are no female relatives in Prince Xu's residence, and even the servants who serve are all men. From this, I guess that the person who can sit next to the prince should be Miss Dongfang."

"You are quite smart, but I wonder if you have guessed why I asked someone to bring you here?"

Dongfang Li looked at Zhang Qi on the ground with some curiosity. He was so calm and had a smart mind. This man was not simple. The matter of Nangong Xu's poisoning might not be that simple.

"I don't know, I'll ask the prince and Miss Dongfang for advice."

Neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, Zhang Qi no longer had the panic he had when he first came in.

"Xunjian, take her down for interrogation. It's time for the prince to rest."

Dongfang Li seemed to lose interest instantly.

"what happened?"

"I don't want to waste time listening to his quibbles here. Since he is suspected, just take him down for interrogation."

Zhang Qi was taken away, still in a daze when he left.

"Xunjian, take this, red for internal use and white for external use."

Dongfang Li threw two bottles of medicine to Xunjian and turned to look at the moonlight outside the window.

"Thank you, princess."

Dongfang Li and Nangong Xu were the only two people left in Linfeng Pavilion. Nangong Xu slid his wheelchair over and parked next to her.

"You were upset just now."

"...?"

"I obviously wanted to ask it myself, why did I suddenly let the people below do it?"

"I don't believe you didn't see his problem. He can guess my identity at a glance, and he can face you so calmly. It shows that he has rehearsed today's scene countless times in his mind. Such a person will not eat anything. I’m afraid Ku won’t say anything.”

Dongfang Li turned around and sat face to face with Nangong Xu.

"I smelled some candle smell on him, which means he has been melting wax these days. If a person works at a job for many years, his skin will be saturated with this smell."

"Just like Ali's body... always has a faint aroma of herbs?"

"That's right, he doesn't smell of any herbal flower juice on his body, but today's candles are clearly filled with lily of the valley juice. The lily of the valley can emit a faint fragrance when it blooms, but its juice, even on the leaves, The water droplets from the lily of the valley flower juice will cause vomiting and diarrhea, blurred vision, and in severe cases, people will fall into coma. Your health is not good, and the reaction will be more obvious if you smell it too much."

"...Didn't he put it there?"

"I'm afraid there's a master of poisoning behind him, or maybe he's just a chess piece and someone doesn't know he's being used."

Dongfang Li rubbed the rim of his cup and fell into thought.

"Lily of the Valley is poisonous. If you hadn't said that even I didn't know, how would he know about it... Maybe there is someone who knows better..."

"you know?"

"It is well known that the Queen Mother likes to grow flowers. Some of the special spices in the palace are also made by her, including the rouge and gouache she uses herself."

Nangong Xu smiled bitterly, was she still worried? Now that she is like this, why would she do this?

"I didn't expect that the current Queen Mother Xiao Lingluo is actually a master of making incense. It's really interesting..."

"What did Ali think of?"

"Do you know why you have so few brothers and sisters? If I guess correctly, this Queen Mother Xiao must have put a lot of thought into this."

"Ali means..."

Nangong Xu thought of a possibility, but he still couldn't believe it.

"That's right, incense is the same as medical skills. When used in the right place, it can calm the mind, calm the mind, and even hypnotize and anesthetize. On the contrary, it can also make people excited, increase blood flow, and even suppress breathing and make people unconscious. Sleep forever."

"So, it can also make a woman have a miscarriage or be unable to conceive?"

After thinking about this, Nangong Xu understood why when his father was strong and healthy, there were so many concubines who could not give birth to children. Even if some people had children, they rarely gave birth smoothly, and even if they gave birth safely, they could not survive to adulthood. Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Yes, people in the palace like to use spices. Whether it is incense, purses or jewelry, they can be used."

"I see...it's just such a disregard for life, how could she do it..."

Nangong Xu's voice was hoarse and full of sadness.

"Those who can't be killed have already been killed. The reason why you survived is probably due to your mother's sacrifice..."

Dongfang Li didn't know how to comfort Nangong Xu, who was so depressed. After thinking for a moment, he had to change the topic.

"Let's put the past things aside for now. Should we continue to investigate this matter now?"

The deeper she investigated, the more chilling the results she got. But if she didn't investigate, she felt like she would just give up. She was unwilling to do so. Perhaps it was the sense of mission of a soldier in her previous life. Dongfang Li didn't like anything she did. give up halfway.

"Check! I want to see how cruel her heart can be!"
