Chapter 694 The Jealous Two Men

The old lady is a person who has experienced the storm, she knows what it means without saying it, her face turned pale immediately: "You mean... the palace is preparing to..."

Liu Jishan didn't affirm or deny it, but there was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his lips: "This poison has always been used exclusively by the royal family, and no one is allowed to use it unless it is ordered by the emperor!"

If someone poured a basin of ice water, the old lady froze: "You mean, you mean..."

She flickered and almost fainted, but luckily the third lady next to her helped her in time.

No one is allowed to use it unless it is authorized by the emperor...

But now this medicine is used openly.

Then it shows two things: either the emperor is controlled by the queen mother, or the emperor wants to get rid of the Zhao family.

The old lady has witnessed the ups and downs of the family, and she is really not sure what the truth is.

How could the emperor's mind be guessed by the subjects?
Zhao Xiwei calmed down a lot and comforted the old lady: "Grandmother, don't think too much. Now is the time to employ people. No matter how suspicious your majesty is, he will not be in a hurry to act at this time."

Although she also knew that the emperor's mind was unpredictable, it was not impossible.

But in terms of profit, it is impossible.

The crown prince is far away, and the emperor is being coerced by others. If you get rid of the loyal courtiers at this time, wouldn't it be the same as cutting off your left and right hands?

Besides, if there is such a calculation, why did Li Xuanye give her the jade order?
Liu Jishan also quite agrees with Zhao Xiwei's analysis: "Ah Wei is right. Now that the palace is empty, it is impossible for His Majesty to make such a move. Besides, the people attending the banquet today are all the female relatives of important officials in the court. Even if His Majesty It’s okay to doubt your family, but are you even suspicious of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?”

Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned, as if thinking of something: "By the way, it's not only you, Awei, but also..."

"Anyone else?" Zhao Xiwei was stunned for a while, "Is everyone present unconscious?"

Liu Jishan shook his head: "The others are far away, and they haven't inhaled the poisonous powder much. Although they are a little dizzy, it's just a matter of taking two medicines. Only Mrs. Qiao's symptoms are more serious. According to the report of Qiao's servants, It is said that Mrs. Qiao passed out after she went back, and she hasn't woken up until now—"

"What?" Zhao Xiwei was startled, "Madam Qiao was also poisoned? No way..." She was about to call someone in as she spoke, "Jinxiu!"

"Don't worry—" Liu Jishan hurriedly held her down, "I've sent someone to send the antidote to her. Mrs. Qiao's body is fine, and you are more poisoned than her. Now that you are awake, she must be About to wake up."

"Too……"

Zhao Xiwei breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Jishan frowned again and said, "It's because of this that I feel strange." He walked back and forth by the bed with his hands behind his back, "Your body is weaker than hers, and poisoning is worse than hers." She is deep, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't recover so quickly."

The old lady was not happy: "I don't like to hear what Doctor Liu said. Sister Wei has a good fortune, and it's normal for her to recover earlier than others."

But Liu Jishan didn't seem to be joking at all: "Old lady, this junior has been practicing medicine for half his life, and he has never encountered a body that is invulnerable to all poisons."

As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Xiwei was confused: "You mean, that poison has no effect on me?" As soon as the words came out, he said again: "Isn't that a good thing? Why is Master Uncle so worried?"

"It's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing." Liu Jishan pondered for a moment, and said, "For the time being, you will keep it for now, and wait for the uncle to check it carefully. If there is any situation, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Zhao Xi nodded slightly: "I listen to my uncle."

Liu Jishan sighed lightly.

In fact, what he said was not complete.

He had never seen a body invulnerable to all poisons.

But that doesn't mean he hasn't heard of it.

A mortal body can resist severe poison, either because it is born with a special constitution, or it is acquired through strict cultivation.

He already knew about Zhao Xiwei being drunk by the queen mother.

But the poison didn't hurt her life, nor her mind. He prepared some medicine for her to recuperate slowly, and she gradually got better.

At the time, I thought it was nothing more than that.

Looking at it now, he was careless...

What secret is hidden in this child?
Liu Jishan's doubts did not last long.

Because soon there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

The maids exclaimed: "Master Xiang!"

The three people in the room frowned, and the old lady was even more dissatisfied: "You are yelling, what a shame!"

However, when someone appeared at the door, he also exclaimed for a while.

The old lady was tongue-tied: "Xuan'er, you."

Liu Jishan was also full of astonishment: "Brother."

Zhao Ziyi stepped over the threshold, pushed aside the bead curtain, and walked to the bedside with the hem of her clothes fluttering.

The eyes of the two coincidentally fell on Zhao Ziyi's lap.

How can a person with disabled legs have such a graceful demeanor at every step?
Only Zhao Xiwei's eyes stayed on his face.

I haven't seen him like this for a long time...

Purple robe and golden crown, jade belt and light fur.

Standing on the head of the bed with one hand behind your back, it is like a sword that has been polished out of its sheath, containing a bit of the coldness of frost and snow, and a bit of sharpness of copper and iron.

Ever since a pair of his legs were broken, his whole person seemed to be a different person. He lost the majesty of being alone, and his illness drained his energy.

Now...he stood in front of her like this again, and recovered...

wait -

He stood in front of her?

He is standing? !

his legs!
This change was so shocking that Zhao Xiwei almost fell off the bed in shock: "Father! You!"

Liu Jishan hurriedly supported her shoulders: "Lie down properly, don't move around!"

Being reminded by this, she obediently sat back down again, but her eyes were still on Zhao Ziyi: "Father, your legs..."

"En." Zhao Ziyi pulled a chair, sat down by the bed, and put on a posture for a long conversation: "Mother, brother, you two go down first, I have something to talk to Miss Wei alone."

The old lady had no doubts about him: "The medicine is still being boiled in the kitchen, I'll check the heat."

Liu Jishan narrowed his eyes: "I am Ah Wei's uncle."

After he finished speaking, not only did he not intend to leave, but he lifted his clothes and sat down directly opposite.

Zhao Ziyi, whose legs were back to health, immediately regained the majesty that the head of a hundred officials should have.

He glanced at him coldly, and said tit for tat: "But I am Ah Wei's biological father."

"Do you still remember that you are your own father?" Liu Jishan also refused to budge, and said sarcastically, "Then, where were you when the accident happened in Cai's mansion just now? Where were you when Ah Wei was besieged by a group of death row prisoners? Ah Wei Where were you when you were poisoned by that crazy woman? Now that the mansion is safe, the death row prisoner has been arrested, and the poison has been cured, you came here to claim credit?"

He chuckled, "Then you are a dear father, it's really cheap!"

Zhao Xiwei felt a little unbearable when he heard it, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Liu, you misunderstood, Daddy has more important things to do."

Liu Jishan choked, looked at Zhao Xiwei for a while, and said, "Ah Wei, why are you so stupid?"

Zhao Ziyi didn't change his face: "How can a close relative of flesh and blood be so provoked by an outsider with a few words?"

"Outsider?" Liu Jishan laughed angrily, and was even a little annoyed. He suddenly got up: "Zhao Ziyi! If it wasn't for me—"

Zhao Ziyi rested his hands on the armrests, with a calm expression: "How were you back then?"

Liu Jishan seemed to have been stabbed, and the words that came to his lips were abruptly withdrawn, a gloomy look came over his brows like a dark cloud, and his voice was low: "If I stayed in the capital back then, in terms of distance and closeness, I would be no worse than you! "
