How to Raid the Queen

No sooner had Li Xi arrived at Zhiran Palace than Li Yong arrived with a few ancient books.

"Emperor Sheng'an, Empress Jin'an." Li Yong entered the hall and saluted.

"It's like, a family doesn't need so many formalities." Jing Wenhao said, Li Yong was not polite, he got up directly, walked to Li Xi's side, and put a few books on the table.

"I'm in a hurry to go back, I'm afraid there's something wrong, so I brought you all these books, and you can see if it's right." Li Yong put the books on the table.

Those books seemed to be quite old. Although the covers had been repaired by Haosheng, they were still incomplete, and the ink stains inside had faded slightly.

"My brother took exactly what I wanted." Li Xi picked up a book and flipped through it quickly, "My brother sent someone to the high priest's mansion, do you have any news from the people in the mansion?"

"I have gone, but there is no news yet. His wife said that the sacrifice is coming up these few days, and he almost never goes out. He prepares in the room every day, and even the food is delivered by someone." Li Yong replied, "Are you sure it is these few days?" Is it poisonous in the sun? Isn’t the latent nature of voodoo very strong? Could it be that someone has already prepared it?”

Li Xi shook his head and said, "I'm sure. Did my brother smell a strong smell of saltwater when he knelt under the altar today?"

"Yes, you have your carriage before it arrives. I thought that someone made a fuss in the charcoal used for sacrifices, and wanted to do something wrong. I checked it out and found nothing wrong, so I let the high priest use it with peace of mind. .What? Is it a problem of nitrate?”

"No, that tastes like nitrate, but it's actually not nitrate, but a medicine from southern Xinjiang. The function of this medicine is to quickly trigger the voodoo hidden in the human body, which is a way to control the time of onset." Li Xi flipped through a few pages of the book and put it on the desk.

"Look here."

[Xuyu, the triggerer, colorless, strong in taste, like Glauber's salt. ]

"Xu Mou?" Jing Wenhao rubbed these two words, knowing it in his heart.It was Li Yong who heard these two words in the previous life. At that time, his third younger brother rebelled. Li Yong led the army to the southwest to rehabilitate him, but he was poisoned.It was also a critical moment at that time, and none of the ministers who took him knew what the poison was. When his life was hanging by a thread, there was news that Li Yong was gradually recovering.After Li Yong came back, he only said that it was a genius doctor in the Jianghu who saved him, but that person refused to come back with him, so he mentioned this medicine at that time, "Xu Yi".

"The emperor knows this medicine?" Li Xi asked, seeing Jing Wenhao's complicated expression.

Jing Wenhao smiled, "I don't know, I just feel that the name is a bit weird. Tell me, why did you take this medicine in the past few days?"

Li Xi nodded and continued: "I told the emperor when I returned to the city. Voodoo poisoning usually takes a long time, and there is no immediate effect. If you want to reach the level of insanity like the high priest today, don't use poison continuously. It’s impossible to do it for three months. This amount is very difficult to control. And if a person who is poisoned for three months, when the poison occurs, the black line on the arm will melt into a large area along with the meridians. In the case of the high priest’s poisoning Look, he will definitely not take poison for more than three days, so he needs to be guided for a while."

"Brother Cai also said just now that he specially checked the charcoal fire, and there is nothing wrong with it. This moment should not be mixed in the charcoal fire, but in the wax used by the high priest. When the high priest worships the gods, he must keep lighting candles. A moment was added to the wax that was lit. So someone must have poisoned the High Priest during the past few days and changed his candle."

"The candles for this sacrifice are all supervised by the Ministry of Rites. It is not easy to easily imitate and replace them." Jing Wenhao frowned, "What? Is there even someone in the Ministry of Rites who can do things now?"

"If this is the case, the emperor must immediately send someone to investigate." Li Xi said, "The person who can do these two things at the same time must be someone who is close to the high priest."

"Li Yong, what has happened to you and Xie Xuan about the case between Wujiacun and Concubine Zhen?" Jing Wenhao felt a headache when he thought of these things.

"Xie Xuan is a capable person. Concubine Zhen retracted her confession yesterday. She confessed that the second prince ordered her to frame the queen. In the case of Wujiacun, two of the three people's family members are in the village under the name of the second prince's old department. I found it. They were picked up last night. Both of them were willing to testify against the second prince. Now, only one person is sticking around and refusing to change. Xie Xuan is still looking for a breakthrough. He said that within three days, he will definitely be able to Close the case." Li Yong knew that Jing Wenhao was probably in a hurry.

"Don't worry, your majesty, Xie Xuan has already handed over a lot of secret information under his subordinates, and he will definitely give the emperor an answer soon."

Jing Wenhao nodded, "Fortunately, he is capable. In this way, let him concentrate on the Wujiacun case as soon as possible. Don't relax on your side. First, find out who is most likely to approach the high priest."

"I obey the order." Li Yong led the order, "Yes, the emperor, Xie Xuan asked the minister to send a message to the emperor, explaining that from the beginning of the day, Tao Lao can take action."

"Okay, got it. Let's go down first."

"Wait, brother took this prescription and went to the imperial hospital to grab the medicine before leaving. The high priest will wake up tonight, and his condition may recur after taking the medicine. Brother should pay attention to the time before he can find out something." When talking with Li Yong, Li Xi wrote a prescription by himself, and it is just right to hand it over to Li Yong at this time.

Li Yong took Fang Zi and retreated, leaving Jing Wenhao and Li Xi in the hall.

"Are you tired?" Standing still, Jing Wenhao rubbed Li Xi's shoulders.

Li Xi shook her head, "I'm not tired."

"I'll give you an order first, I'll let you eat the pot tonight." Jing Wenhao hugged Li Xi over, "I'm really wronged. We agreed to go to the hunting ground."

"It's all right, Your Majesty, the hunting ground is right there, and I won't run away. Besides, I don't know how to hunt. I can't even shoot an arrow well. Could it be possible to use poison when I go to the hunting ground? The poisoned prey You can't eat it, right?" Li Xi leaned against Jing Wenhao's body.The needles in the morning can only be managed for two hours. Just now when that incident happened, Li Xi was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he didn't care too much, so he pushed the silver needles into the acupuncture points a little more forcefully, so that he could persist so many times.But at this time, the effect of the acupuncture had passed, and the severe pain hit him, which made him quite overwhelmed.

"What's wrong?" Li Xi's whole body was almost on Jing Wenhao's body, and Jing Wenhao could feel Li Xi's whole body trembling.Pushing the person away a little and taking a look, Li Xi was actually covered in cold sweat. "Li Xi, Li Xi, what's wrong?"

Jing Wenhao carried Li Xi with both hands to the bed, shouting, "Li Xi, Li Xi."

"It's all right, Your Majesty." Li Xi stretched his hands to the back and pulled out two silver needles from both sides of his hip bones, then heaved a long sigh of relief, showing a relaxed look on his face.

"What is this?" Jing Wenhao's face darkened. Although he didn't know what it was, he clearly sensed that it must be these two needles that caused Li Xi such pain.

"During the sacrifice, I was afraid that I would not be able to stand, so I sealed my blood. Now the effect of the needle is over, and the pain is doubled." Li Xi looked at Jing Wenhao's gloomy face, not afraid at all, knowing that he was just distressed He even laughed when he said this.

"Stupid thing." Jing Wenhao's heart was hit by an unknown force, making it impossible for him to escape, "How did I meet a fool like you. Did you just say no to it last night?"

Although Li Xi was in pain, she was very stubborn at this moment, she looked at Jing Wenhao intently and said, "I have been waiting for five years since I entered the uterus five years ago, why didn't I do it?"

A simple sentence, but undoubtedly like a critical blow, Jing Wenhao was unable to avoid it.Without a trace of complaint, without a trace of fear, his Li Xi was so willing to wait for him for five years.In the past five years, he has never given Li Xi a good look, but that person doesn't seem to care about anything.This is his Li Xi.

"Stupid thing, are these years worth it?" Jing Wenhao put his hand on Li Xi's forehead.

"It's worth it." Li Xi smiled, "I don't want your heart to be like mine, but I only hope you can understand my heart. If it's the emperor, what will happen after so many years?"

Jing Wenhao couldn't bear the sourness in his heart anymore, hugged Li Xi, and sucked the smell from Li Xi's body.He always thought that since he was reborn, he had redoubled his efforts to treat Li Xi well, so that he could always make up for the mistakes he made in the previous years.But looking at it now, it is not clear what he owed Li Xi, let alone this life, or the next life.In these two lives, Li Xi gave him unreserved sincerity.

"Stupid thing, stupid thing." Jing Wenhao couldn't stop whispering in Li Xi's ear, but after all, it was still these few words.

Li Xi didn't refute, and let Jing Wenhao hug him tightly, as if afraid that he would slip away; let Jing Wenhao kiss him, giving him all the tenderness.

The author has something to say:

Jing Wenhao: Why is the queen suddenly so nasty today?Could it be that the sincerity towards me can no longer be restrained and is about to burst out?

Li Xi: Your Majesty, you are overthinking, I just want to trick you.
