Chapter 392 The Hired Wife is a Big Brother (25)

Su Qiruo took the tea that Leng Muxi personally poured out for her, and took a sip lightly.

Leng Muxi has always done things with a strict eye, and never knew it could be done like this.

He always felt that she taught him a lot and let him discover many shortcuts.

She's right, people can't be too rigid.

As long as the results are right, the simpler the process, the better.

"I'm afraid the Chi family will have a bad year."

A gleam of joy flashed in Leng Muxi's drooping eyes, he would rather those assassins came to kill him, and he didn't want to implicate her because of his own affairs.

It's just that her kung fu seems to be really good. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could feel it.

"An old fox like Chi Kexuan cares most about her own reputation. Today, she has become the murderer who assassinated the crown prince, and she must spend a lot of thought to maneuver. But it's okay to say that the common people have already decided that she is going to kill you. This matter cannot be changed no matter what. So, you have to be careful, if she jumps over the wall in a hurry, you and the emperor will have to guard against it."

All Su Qiruo did was to force Chi Kexuan to do something, she knew that Chi Kexuan would not let her become a son-in-law, and would move her sooner or later.

That being the case, it's better for her to force Chi Kexuan.

Rather than the unknown danger coming at any time, it would be better to resolve it earlier.

"Did you guess that Chi Kexuan would send someone to assassinate you today, so you took me out to buy red paper?"

Leng Muxi thought, if it was just for these few red papers, she wouldn't have to buy them herself.

"Not necessarily. It's true that I want to take you for a stroll in the street."

Su Qiruo was only guessing that Chi Kexuan would make a move today, after all, she said mercilessly yesterday that the Chi family wanted to rebel.

If Chi Kexuan couldn't use that vixen to seduce her, he would definitely use other methods.

But Chi Kexuan seemed to regard her as a lustful apprentice girl, and let her grandson seduce her, and found such a man who didn't even wear shoes. Are we together for the sake of beauty?

Thinking like this, Su Qiruo couldn't help but look at Leng Muxi more.

Nodding with satisfaction.

Well, it is quite beautiful.

"I'm the one who hurt you in the end."

Leng Muxi said guiltily.

"It's nothing. When you hired me back then, didn't you think that there would be today? Even if it wasn't me, there would be someone else. Chi Kexuan wanted her granddaughter to be his son-in-law, so he definitely wouldn't let it go easily."

When Su Qiruo promised Fufeng that he would cooperate with Leng Muxi to deal with the Chi family, he had already guessed that today would come.

Others may be scruples about the Chi family, but she is not.

She is not from the Southern Chu Kingdom, so does Chi Kexuan still have the ability to go to the Northern Qing Kingdom to assassinate her?
If she really dared to go, there would be no turning back.

The word "employment" made Leng Muxi's expression change instantly. He has been avoiding this issue recently, but in fact, the relationship between them is only an employment relationship.

Everything is fake.

All the tenderness and pampering are fake.

If Su Qiruo didn't see Leng Muxi's face suddenly turning pale, she was still talking to him.

This year, he still lived alone.

Even if someone is with you, your heart is lonely.

According to the imperial decree, they will be "married" in another month.

But even this marriage is fake.

Firecrackers sounded outside, and all the servants in the prince's mansion came to pay New Year's greetings to the master, and also got red envelopes.

When everyone went down, Su Qiruo took out a small jade pendant and stuffed it into Leng Muxi's hand.

Leng Muxi looked at her suspiciously, Su Qiruo smiled and said, "The lucky money for you."

She didn't have any money on her, and Leng Muxi gave her all her daily expenses.

Only this pendant was worn by her all the time, and it didn't look shabby as a gift to him.

The pendant still carried the warmth of her body, Leng Muxi pursed her lips lightly, curled her fingers, and clenched the pendant tightly, putting it away.

"Thank you."

Leng Muxi didn't know what he wanted to thank her for, he always felt that he owed her a lot, but he didn't know how to pay her back.

"May Xi'er be happy forever."

Su Qiruo raised her hand and gently rubbed his little head.

The other New Year's greetings seemed too pale, only being happy was what she hoped for.

The smile on the corner of her mouth is very gentle, just like her person.

Leng Muxi never knew that such a gentle woman would be like an addictive poison, once touched, she would never be able to leave.

The eye sockets suddenly became hot, and Leng Muxi hurriedly lowered his head.

He can't cry, and doesn't deserve to cry.

New Year's Eve is coming to an end, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

The sky was slightly bright, and the two of them were about to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.

Although it was the first day of the new year, Leng Muxi still remembered Su Qiruo's words and asked a few more questions about the emperor's body.

The emperor already had great trust in Tianyun Mountain, once he heard his son say this, he didn't care about any taboos, and directly asked Su Qiruo to come forward to get a pulse.

"Your Majesty, this is the appearance of poisoning."

Su Qiruo's face was calm, she was not surprised.

When she met the emperor a few days ago, she realized that there was a problem, but she didn't hurt her life, so she didn't say much.

The emperor looked shocked and couldn't believe it.

Leng Muxi also felt very surprised, people from the Tai Hospital came to check the Ping'an pulse every day, why didn't they find it?

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the mother and son, Su Qiruo explained: "The poison your majesty has been poisoned is Mandala, which will be transmitted into the human body through breathing, so it is extremely difficult to detect, and will gradually destroy your body. Mandala Tuo is produced in Fanbang, so it is not common, and it is normal for many people who have never heard of it to be diagnosed."

"So the Queen Mother is through the poison in the smell?"

Leng Muxi asked in a low voice with a condensed expression.

Su Qiruo nodded: "Exactly, the emperor has been poisoned for three years, although the toxin did not cause death, it has reached the lungs."

"Possible solution?"

The emperor clenched his fists, she really didn't expect these people to be so courageous, to dare to poison her.

"can."

The emperor's fate is also good, there is a manduo antidote on Tianyun Mountain.

Hearing what Su Qiruo said, Leng Muxi felt relieved.

"It's good if you can solve it."

"It's just that the emperor should send his confidants to thoroughly investigate the source, otherwise even if the poison is detoxified this time, it may not be able to escape the next time."

The picky Su Qiruo in the royal family also knew that those who poisoned the emperor undoubtedly wanted her to die so that the throne would fall into their hands.

After all, Leng Muxi was just a man, and he was young, so without the support of the emperor, he would be at the mercy of others.

"Three years..."

The emperor murmured, if he wants to investigate, there are traces to follow.

"Then you might have found where the poison was hidden?"

Leng Muxi forgot to look around, always feeling that there were problems everywhere.

Su Qiruo clasped her fists at the emperor, and then began to search in the emperor's bedroom.

After a while, she found a small squashed medicine bag from the emperor's pillow.

The emperor's face turned pale again, he pointed at the thing with trembling fingers, and smiled wryly.
