Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 70 Poison

Lin Zisu was shocked and couldn't help but ask what was in her heart: "Why is it the emperor? During the Hundred Flowers Banquet, wasn't His Majesty still in good health?"

Lin Zisu's suspicion was no longer a day or two.

In the previous life, the emperor's death was very strange, but at that time, I only cared about the tender love with Xie Yao, and didn't think about anything else at all.

Looking at it now, it is very likely that the emperor was secretly given a chronic poison.

Xie Xi said: "Father's illness is very strange. It should have occurred in recent years. I have searched for some clues secretly, but there is no definite evidence. According to the current situation, it is probably related to my uncle. .”

Lin Zisu suddenly remembered the red water he saw in the pond in Prince Wei's Mansion, and said: "I met Prince Wei in Prince Wei's Mansion today. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be practicing Taoism? "

Xie Xi nodded and said: "When my father first succeeded to the throne, Uncle Wei just meditated and listened to sutras at home. After practicing for more than ten years, he did not become a god, but almost became a demon. In the past two years, I told my father about cultivating inner elixirs. In recent years, he has also said that the inner elixir has been cultivated to perfection, and he wants to practice the outer elixir. Every year on the Wanshou Festival, he will present the elixir to my father. I suspect that there is something wrong with those elixirs."

Lin Zisu also thought of this possibility. Since ancient times, countless emperors have summoned alchemists to refine elixirs to seek immortality. How many of them can eat immortality?

What's more, elixirs often use cold poisonous medicines such as cinnabar and saltpeter. If you take the elixir carelessly, you may be paralyzed or even killed.

Emperor Taizongwen, a famous Mingjun in history, died of a sudden illness precisely because he took Hu Seng's elixir of longevity.

Today, I don't know why, but Lin Zisu blurted out the next sentence and asked: "Your Highness, I dare to ask you, what is the purpose of pursuing this matter?"

Thinking of what he met in Prince Wei's Mansion, and what Qin Yajun said about the privacy of the back house of Prince Wei's Mansion, Lin Zisu was immediately attracted and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Xi is right, no matter in his previous life or in this life, no one has ever taken him seriously.

"That's just talk about hiding one's strength and biding one's time. I am a prince with no foundation, how can I be qualified to hide one's strength and bide one's time? Normally, at best, I would pretend to be crazy and act like a fool."

A big stone in his heart fell to the ground. Lin Zisu's tone became relaxed and she raised her eyebrows and said: "It turns out that His Highness has been hiding his capabilities and biding his time, and I have always been blind, but I didn't expect His Highness to have such thoughts."

Lin Zisu nodded reluctantly and responded: "I can give it a try."

This was an indescribable feeling. Xie Xi thought about it for a long time, and the frivolous smile returned to his face.

He stared at Lin Zisu and said with a smile: "Perhaps, I am attracted to you."

It's like meeting a close friend and wanting to tell everything that's buried in your heart.

In the past, she was just suspicious and never dared to ask, let alone inquire about Xie Xi's past.

King Wei is the emperor's younger brother. If King Wei poisons the emperor, then the most likely possibility is that King Wei... usurps the throne.

Hearing what Xie Xi said, Lin Zisu felt like it was natural.

That was not what Lin Zisu was thinking about. She was not an ordinary twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, so she naturally knew that Xie Xi's words could not be said to just anyone.

Lin Zisu turned her face sideways, avoiding Xie Xi's gaze, and said calmly: "Your Highness, please don't mention these words again."

This Prince Dun, who is ridiculous in the eyes of everyone, is really not simple.

Lin Zisu was silent for a moment and nodded.

Xie Xi hit a medium-sized soft nail, touched his nose, and said, "Since you don't like it, then I won't mention it."

Lin Zisu suddenly remembered that in her previous life, her father Weiyuan Hou Fang Luan colluded with Xie Hui to rebel. I heard that Xie Hui was a suspicious person. If Xie Hui ascended the throne, Xie Xi's life would not be easy.

But he also knew that it didn't seem to be that. It was as if a traveler who had been walking in the desert for many days suddenly encountered an oasis.

Lin Zisu was stunned when she thought of the past life. Xie Xi thought that she would not accept his statement for a while, and said: "Actually, you don't have to be very powerful. At least you have the ability to protect yourself.

You must never let others take advantage of you.”

Lin Zisu frowned. If the emperor was poisoned by eating King Wei's elixir, it would be very difficult to handle.

Even after Xie Yao succeeded to the throne, Xie Xi became the city guard king who stayed in the capital, and not many civil and military officials in the dynasty could take a fancy to him.

After speaking, he then sighed: "If it was the poison given by the emperor's uncle, it would be easy to solve, but I'm afraid it won't be that simple."

Xie Xi gave a bitter laugh and said: "How can it be so easy to pretend to be crazy? Even if I am really crazy, do you think they believe it? Now I am just following their wishes. No matter whether I am really crazy or pretending to be stupid, they only need four

It is enough that the prince has a bad reputation. No minister will support a prince with a bad reputation as emperor."

Xie Xi was speechless for a moment. In his subconscious, he naturally asked Lin Zisu to investigate the cause of the emperor's illness. Of course, he had to explain the danger behind it to Lin Zisu.

Xie Xi saw Lin Zisu lost in thought and asked, "Su Su, can you test the poison?"

But based on the previous life, this inference seems unreasonable. King Wei's own qualifications are relatively mediocre. Moreover, he has been practicing Taoism and alchemy for many years and does not know anything about government affairs. When the emperor has already determined his successor, even if the emperor suddenly dies

, it was never the turn of King Wei to succeed to the throne.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xie Xi changed the subject and said: "I went to Prince Wei's Mansion today. I originally wanted to explore the secret of the emperor's alchemy. Unexpectedly, I discovered some incredible things."

Xie Xi was full of trust in Lin Zisu and said, "Well, during the Longevity Festival this year, I will take a pill donated by the emperor's uncle and give it to you."

She looked at Xie Xi blankly for a long time, and then asked: "Your Highness, why do you want to say these things to me?"

"I'm my own friend, so I don't have to hide it from you." Xie Xi said, "It's only been a few years since I left the vassal domain. Now I'm still a fledgling, and only my father can protect me. If I leave my father, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."

The pigs raised in captivity.”

Xie Xi's thoughts were consistent with Lin Zisu's. Lin Zisu felt more and more that she had never really known Xie Xi.

Xie Xi thought for a while, then changed his mind and said with a smile: "You don't need to know about the mess in Prince Wei's Mansion."

Lin Zisu cursed a few words, and was about to ask again when she saw Xie Xi stretched out and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."

Seeing that Xie Xi opened the window again and wanted to jump out of the window again, Lin Zisu had no choice but to roll her eyes at Xie Xi's back.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xi suddenly turned around and said in an extremely soft tone: "Be careful in everything, I will handle everything."
