The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 70 Poison
Lin Zisu's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help asking what was in her heart: "Why is it the emperor? Wasn't His Majesty still in good health during the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

Lin Zisu's suspicion has not lasted for a day or two.

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

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

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

Lin Zisu suddenly remembered the red water in the pond in Prince Wei's mansion, and said, "I was in King Wei's mansion today, but I met King Wei, he looks like he is cultivating Taoism? "

Xie Xi nodded and said: "When my father first succeeded to the throne, Uncle Wei Wang just meditated at home and listened to scriptures. After more than ten years of cultivation, he didn't become a god, but he was about to go mad. Two years ago, I told my father what it is to practice inner alchemy. , In the past few years, it has been said that the inner alchemy has been cultivated to a positive result, and the outer alchemy needs to be cultivated. Every year on the Longevity Day, he will present the elixir to the father, and I suspect that there is something wrong with those elixir."

Lin Zisu also thought of this possibility. Since ancient times, countless emperors have summoned alchemists to make alchemy for longevity. How many of them can eat immortality?

What's more, alchemy often uses cold and poisonous medicines such as cinnabar and saltpeter. If you accidentally take the elixir, you will be paralyzed in light cases, and you will die in severe cases.

The well-known Emperor Taizong Wen of the Ming Dynasty in history died of a sudden sudden illness because of taking the medicine of Hu Seng's longevity.

Lin Zisu frowned tightly. If the emperor was poisoned by taking Wei Wang's elixir, it would be too difficult to handle.

King Wei is the emperor's younger brother. If King Wei poisons the emperor, the most likely possibility for King Wei is... usurping the throne.

However, based on the past life, this inference seems unreasonable. King Wei's own qualifications are relatively mediocre, and he has practiced Taoism and alchemy for many years, and he doesn't know much about government affairs.Now that the emperor has already determined his successor, even if the emperor dies suddenly, it will never be his turn to succeed King Wei.

Seeing that Lin Zisu was in a daze, Xie Xi asked, "Susu, can you do a drug test?"

Lin Zisu reluctantly nodded, and replied, "I can give it a try."

Xie Xi, on the other hand, was full of trust in Lin Zisu, and said, "Okay, this year's Longevity Festival, I will take a elixir offered by the emperor's uncle and give it to you."

After finishing speaking, he continued to sigh: "If the emperor's uncle poisoned you, then it would be easy to solve, but I'm afraid things are not so simple."

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

This absurd King Dun in the eyes of everyone is really not simple.

In the past, she was only skeptical, and never dared to ask, let alone ask about Xie Xi's past.

Today, for some unknown reason, Lin Zisu blurted out the next sentence, and asked, "Your Highness, I dare to ask you, what is your purpose in pursuing this matter?"

"I'm on my own with you, so I don't have to hide it from you." Xie Xi said: "I haven't been away from the Fan for a few years, and now I'm fledgling, and only my father can protect me. Pigs raised in captivity."

Hearing what Xie Xi said, Lin Zisu felt it was a matter of course.

A big stone in her 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 always been hiding his strength and biding his time, and my ministers have always been blind, but I never thought His Highness would have such thoughts."

"Hide your strengths and bide your time, that's just talking. How can I, a prince with no foundation, have the qualifications to hide my strengths and bide my time? On weekdays, I can at most pretend to be crazy."

Xie Xi smiled wryly, and said again: "How can it be so easy to pretend to be crazy? Even if I am really crazy, do you think they will believe it? Right now it is just following their wishes. Whether I am really crazy or fake stupid, they only need four It is enough for the prince to be notorious, no courtier will embrace a notorious prince as emperor."

Lin Zisu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

What Xie Xi said was right, no matter in the previous life or in this life, no one has ever taken him seriously.

Even after Xie Yao succeeded to the throne, Xie Xi became the king of the city who stayed in the capital, and few civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty could fancy him.

Lin Zisu suddenly thought of her last life, when her father Weiyuan Hou Fangluan colluded with Xie Hui to rebel.I heard that Xie Hui is a suspicious person, if Xie Hui ascends the throne, Xie Xi's life will not be too easy.

Lin Zisu was stunned when she thought of the past in her previous life.Xie Xi thought that she would not accept her statement for a while, and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be very powerful, at least you have the ability to protect yourself, and you must not let others slaughter you."

Lin Zisu didn't think about these things, she was not an ordinary girl of twelve or thirteen years old, so she naturally knew what Xie Xi said, and it wasn't something she could say to anyone casually.

She stared blankly at Xie Xi for a long time before asking, "Your Highness, why did you say these things to me?"

Xie Xi was at a loss for words for a while, but in his subconscious mind, it was naturally because Lin Zisu was invited to investigate the emperor's illness, and of course he had to explain to Lin Zisu the danger behind it.

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

It also seems to meet a close friend, wishing to confide everything buried in the heart.

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

He stared at Lin Zisu and said with a smile, "Perhaps, this king has taken a fancy to you."

Lin Zisu turned her face to the side, avoiding Xie Xi's gaze, and said calmly: "Your Highness should stop mentioning such things."

Xie Xi bumped into a soft nail of moderate size, touched his nose, and said, "Since you don't like it, then I won't mention it."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xie Xi decided to change the subject, and said, "Today I went to Prince Wei's Mansion to investigate the secrets of the emperor's alchemy, but unexpectedly, I discovered something extraordinary."

Thinking of what she had encountered 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 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 Xie Xi stretched her waist 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 turned around suddenly, and said in an extremely soft tone: "Be careful in everything, I am in everything."
