Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

Seeing Li Xi's excited appearance, Jing Wenhao suddenly felt that Li Xi was still a child, walked over and pulled up the person who was squatting on the ground, helped him tidy up his clothes, and then asked him: "What did you find, so happy? "

Li Xi took the old book, flipped through a few pages, handed it to Jing Wenhao, and said: "There is only a fragmented copy left, I read some when I was a child, I don't quite remember, but here is what the emperor asked."

"What is it?" Jing Wenhao took the fragmented book and looked at it. He couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Li Xi helplessly and asked, "Where did you get this thing? .Tell me, what did you say?"

"When I was young, my mother didn't want me to practice martial arts all day long like my elder brother, and she was afraid that I would not have the skills to do it. My father hired a doctor from somewhere and said that he would teach me how to practice medicine, but the doctor was strange and only taught me to use it. Poison and detoxification, I don’t teach anything else, he stayed in my residence for two years, and left this book when he left.” Li Xi took the obscure ancient book and said: “It said that there are such A kind of poison that can kill people invisible, but this is the secret skill of the southern border royal family. There are not many people in this world who can practice this poison, and they must be women. This book is a bit broken, it only says that this poison is similar to corpse It exists like poison, but the page on how to practice poison is gone. You see, it only says that those who practice this poison will also cause great damage to themselves, so use it with caution."

Li Xi closed the book, and said to Jing Wenhao solemnly: "Your Majesty, I want to take another look at Concubine Chen."

"No. I was too nice to you just now, isn't it? Where is that place? You won't be afraid of scaring the child in your stomach if you go like this!" Jing Wenhao sternly refused.

"Your Majesty, only I can understand the method of autopsy. Please forgive me. I have wanted to see the things on it since I was a child, but southern Xinjiang is too far away. Even if I go, I can't know any royal family. Also please be kind to the emperor, let me see it with my own eyes. I promise, the child in the womb is very good, there will be no difference!" Xie Xuan raised his hand to swear, and seeing Jing Wenhao still refused to let go, He pulled Jing Wenhao's sleeve with the other hand, and asked him, "Is it okay, husband?"

"You, you..." Looking at Li Xi's appearance, Jing Wenhao suddenly didn't know what to do with him.

"Really just go and have a look, and never make a mistake! I also care about the children I finally have." Li Xi pulled herself very low.

Jing Wenhao couldn't say another serious word, he just said: "You are here to cure me."

In the same day, Li Xi saw Chen Concubine's body for the second time.At this time, the body was being placed in the dungeon of the clan's mansion. The dungeon was dark and cold all year round. Jing Wenhao specially asked someone to find a fox-fur cloak for Li Xi, and wrapped him up, not allowing a single finger. exposed.Even so, Li Xi shivered subconsciously when he first entered, because there were many ice buckets in it, Jing Wenhao was so scared that he almost turned around and pulled him back immediately.

Xie Xuan had already brought all the gongs of Dali Temple into the palace, and several people lined up to salute the emperor when they saw the empress.

Due to the three chapters of the contract, Li Xi could not get too close to Concubine Chen, and could only stand three feet away from Concubine Chen, and said, "Go and look at the thumbs on Concubine Chen's hands and feet, and see if there are small purple-black spots on the nails. Do it." Li Xi really wanted to do it himself, but Jing Wenhao tightly held him in his arms, unable to move.

"Look carefully, maybe it's not very obvious, the lights in this dungeon are too dim." He stretched his neck and instructed carefully.

Out of curiosity, Xie Xuan took two foremen to investigate in person.

"Queen, that's true. There are indeed purple and black dots on the two thumb covers." Xie Xuan replied after finding out.

Li Xi's tone suddenly became a little excited, and said: "Take a dagger and cut along the blood veins on Concubine Chen's wrist, and see if there is any abnormality."

Everyone present was stunned, and some people even guessed that the queen came to vent her anger today. After all, everyone in Kyoto knew that Concubine Chen was much more famous than the queen back then.Xie Xuan was the only one who did not hesitate, Li Xi ordered so, and he immediately chose a knife from the autopsy tools of the foremen and stabbed it in.But the strange thing is that it took a lot of effort just to stab it down, and the whole knife seemed to be stuck.Xie Xuan put more strength into his hand and pushed forward, only the blood was cut in front of him, but no blood flowed out.What was drawn out by the knife was something like sand and stone.

"Queen." Xie Xuan turned to look at Li Xi with shock on his face.

Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, Mr. Xie will take your people back first." After finishing speaking, he turned around and followed Jing Wenhao back.

"The emperor is indeed poisoned, just like what is said in the book." Li Xi went back and took off his cloak, and Jing Wenhao immediately ordered the cloak to be burned.

"The poisoner should be in the capital. This poison is unusual. It is made from the blood of the poisoner. Every time the poison is poisoned, the lifespan of the poisoner will be reduced by one point, and it should be difficult for her to move around. "Li Xi paced back and forth in the hall after returning from the dungeon, seeming to be thinking, and when he reached Jing Wenhao, he was afraid of him, so he forcefully hugged him and put him on the reclining chair beside him, holding hands and asking what was wrong with him.

"Your Majesty, I now know who the poison refiner is. It's Qiyue, the oiran of Wanhualou, Qiyue."

"Why?"

"This poison is like a slow poison to the refiners. The process of refining the poison is a process of seeking death. Therefore, the longer the poison is refined, the heavier the rotten smell on the body. In order to cover up this bad smell, they often need to refine something more fragrant. .The strange fragrance we smelled from Miss Qiyue last time was not an ordinary fragrance, it was mixed with fragrance, so I felt something wrong when she entered the door. Your Majesty, it must be her."

On the other side, Xie Xuan knew after the autopsy just now that Concubine Chen's death would not be so simple, but the Queen didn't say it bluntly because of the large number of people. He was full of doubts and was about to get sick.Fortunately, when he returned to the mansion, he heard that a distinguished guest came to the door, and he saw that it was Lu Tan.

"But is there any news about the matter I asked you to investigate?" Xie Xuan quickened his pace as soon as he saw Lu Tan's shadow.

"You want to get news without a cup of tea, you Dali Temple Minister are really stingy."

"Come, come, serve tea." Xie Xuan called for someone to come, and asked someone to serve tea to Lu Tan, then closed the door, and asked him, "But there is news?"

Lu Tan took out a piece of paper from his bosom. The paper was very yellow, as if torn from a book. It was very old, but it was obvious that it had been carefully sealed.

Xie Xuan took it over and couldn't understand what to say, so he asked him, "What is it?"

"What you want is an invisible poison that can kill people."

"There really is such a poisonous thing?" Xie Xuan was shocked.

"The world is so big." Lu Tan said, "Do you know where this poison comes from?"

"where is it?"

"The secret skills of the southern border royal family are passed on to women but not to men."
