Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 142 Heavy Mission

Princess Yong'an Chang is different from other royal families. Although she is pampered all day long, she is always paying attention to the court.

After receiving Xu Wentao's letter, she found Xie Xi anxiously.

Xie Xi's holding the imperial guards surprised many people, and even the royal family, including Princess Yong'an, could not believe it.

In the past, when the emperor mentioned this fourth son, he always looked disgusted. Unexpectedly, he gave him such an important task.

Princess Yong'an has never given Xie Xi any good face in the past. As Xie Xi has messed up her Shangsi banquet this year, she has said a lot of bad things about Xie Xi in front of the emperor.

But at this point, for the sake of his son's life and death, Princess Yong'an had to put down her face and beg for her nephew.

To Princess Yong'an's surprise, after seeing the content of the letter, Xie Xi immediately entered the palace to ask for the emperor.

"My cousin Tao said in the letter that since the Beidi retreated, the Northern Army has never received support from the capital. The army in Luyuan has not been able to continue and is now struggling."

Xie Xi said worriedly: "The army will change for a long time, and the father should make a decision early."

The emperor was silent for a while and said to Cao Shouli: "I regret not not listening to your advice. If I had sent Cao Lang to supervise the army, why would it be like this now?"

Lin Zisu also told Cao Shouli about the characteristics of Qingxin Grass, and specially prepared some other medicines from Ye Yu Qingfeng and handed them over to Cao Shouli.

At that time, his father was still in charge of his own home, and his family was implicated, which could be said to be an unintentional disaster.

"The slave is still checking. According to them, the spice they used is not poisonous, and they even occasionally use it themselves. I asked someone to try it, and the spice is indeed not poisonous."

Cao Shouli lowered his head, covered the smug look at the corner of his mouth, and then raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I will urge the cabinet to ask them to prepare for the military supplies in the northern border as soon as possible."

Xie Xi laughed dryly and said, "Since you think so, I have nothing to say."

She stopped hearing the conversation between several people, turned around and saw that the three of them were looking at her. She wiped her hands with the towel on her hand calmly, then stepped forward and replied: "The people who poisoned are very scheming. Among the prepared poisons, the several medicines are all non-toxic, but once mixed, they become chronic poisons."

Xie Xi suddenly mentioned Qin Yajun. Lin Zisu didn't know what Xie Xi was going to say. She looked at Xie Xi in confusion, and only heard Xie Xi continue, "She is smart and moved out before something happened in your house."

The two chatted for a few more times, and then Xie Xi talked about the serious matter: "How much do you know about the fact that your family was implicated in the Luo family?"

Cao Shouli said, and couldn't help but look at Lin Zisu who was cooking medicine for the emperor in the corner of the hall. The emperor and Xie Xi also set their sights on Lin Zisu.

The two of them talked in the side hall for nearly half an hour, and they stopped until the emperor sent someone to urge Xie Xi.

After Lin Zisu finished his work, Xie Xi said to the emperor with a saliva face: "Father, I have something to say to Miss Lin alone. I wonder if you can give me some convenience?"

Lin Zisu and Xie Xi briefly told what they were thinking. Xie Xi looked at her with a smile and said, "Do you still remember your cousin Qin Yajun?"

"The spice on Your Majesty's clothes is called Qingxin Grass. It is the main medicine among this poison. The method of poisoning is so mysterious. I think the other medicines are also very secretive. Fortunately, now that there are clues, you can always find the mastermind behind the scenes by following the clues."

Lin Zisu would not be polite to him and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, it seems that you and I are just perfunctory in the past?"

Lin Zisu has been boiling medicine for the emperor in the corner of the hall, but is also paying attention to the conversation between several people.

Lin Zisu was stunned for a moment. The emperor had been paying attention to the Luo family's clique case, and Cao Shouli had also responded to it in the past two days.

"Not busy, Liu Qingyuan is not in the cabinet now. Even if you urge them, they won't take you seriously."

Xie Xi talked about Qin Yajun, and then said, "I admire him very much for a mere business daughter who can actually get along with my third brother."

Lin Zisu immediately noticed the unusualness here and asked, "What does your Highness mean is that she is related to our family being sected?"

"I have seen her in a restaurant several times in the past, but I didn't take it seriously. Later I found out that she was the seventh lady of the Qin family in Shannan. I didn't expect that this investigation would reveal a lot of things."

Lin Zisu felt that Qin Yajun's origin was not that simple, and asked, "She is not a peaceful person. Apart from her identity as a business woman, what else did Your Highness find out?"

Cao Shouli said: "I have checked Shangyijian and the Needle Industry Bureau and found seventeen people with problems. According to the clues provided by Miss Lin, there were two people related to His Majesty's poisoning. According to their confession, they brought back a spice from outside and used it for six years every time they smoked His Majesty's clothes."

As soon as the two entered the side hall, Xie Xi smiled and said, "Su Su, I really thank you this time. If you didn't save your father, I would have become a knife and fish."

The emperor smiled knowingly, waved his hand, but said nothing.

Luo Xiu's participation not only involved the distribution of power in the court, but also involved the grudges of the officialdom for eight years.

Xie Xili thanked him very much, pointed to the side palace and said, "Su Su, let's go over there and say a few words."

Lin Zisu didn't know what Xie Xi had to say to him, and was a little confused about the emperor's expression. Xie Xi urged: "We are both so familiar with each other, are you still afraid that I will be ill-treated to you?"

The emperor continued, "Su Yatou said two days ago that there is something wrong with the incense I use on my clothes. How are you looking for it?"

Hearing that the emperor had been targeted for six years, several people in the Qianqing Palace took a breath. Xie Xi asked: "Eunuch Cao, did they say where did they get the spices?"

Lin Zisu followed Xie Xi to the emperor's bedroom. Since entering the door, she found that the emperor was smiling at her.

This smile is often seen on the emperor's face recently. Lin Zisu was very surprised and made up her mind to find an opportunity to ask Xie Xi.

The emperor kept his smile and said seriously to Xie Xi: "Xiao Sier, I asked Cao Shouli to come over to the cabinet. You reply to Xu Wentao first to relax the Hou of Chang'an. I will never ignore the army in the northern border."

Xie Xi took the order and left. Lin Zisu heard that the cabinet was coming, so she wanted to avoid it. However, the emperor stopped her and said, "Su Yatou, you don't need to avoid it. I want these old foxes to take a look. The position of your Lin family in my heart will be given to you, and they personally give your Lin family a cleansing."
