After being read by the tyrant, the character of the little cannon fodder completely collapsed

Chapter 44 The Queen Mother gives medicine
"What?" Ling Zaifu suddenly stood still and raised his head in surprise: "Xin Yao? She wants to kill you?"

"Dad, looking at your expression, I must not have told you about your connections. Your Majesty almost died at the hands of your sister, right?"

Before Ling Xi finished speaking, Ling Zaifu's knees softened and he knelt on the ground with a "pop".

"Dad, what are you doing, get up quickly...

"Get up, I can't get up," Ling Zaifu was about to cry but had no tears: "Xi'er, we won't trick your father. Tell me the truth. Are you kidding me?"

"Dad, do you think I would joke about this?"

"...Is this damn girl going to drag all our Ling family members to bury her with her?!"

Ling Xi didn't hide anything, she told everything Ling Xinyao had done, and also emphasized that she forced herself to kill the tyrant.

Ling Zaifu's beard trembled wildly and he almost went crazy in the carriage.

After finally entering the house, he immediately shouted angrily: "Where is Ling Xinyao? Call her to me!"

"Master, second, the second lady didn't come home."

"Didn't come back?" Ling Zaifu guessed the result, but he was still furious: "I know she didn't come back, so I'll send her people out to look for her. I'll see her alive, dead, and dead." Go find her!!"

Ling Zaifu also knew that Ling Xinyao must be hiding now, but the Ling family still had to take a stand.

He had to let the tyrant know that he had no knowledge of Ling Xinyao's regicide. Now that he knew about it, he would naturally arrest the rebellious girl to die as an apology!
Ling Xi sat there, drinking tea and eating fruit, silently watching her old father get angry.

After he finished his rant, he poured a cup of tea and presented it to her: "Father, don't get excited. His Majesty said that my sister's crime is unforgivable, but I have made a contribution to the rescue, so our Ling family's merits and demerits are equal, and we will not embarrass the Ling family this time! "

Ling Zaifu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then you didn't tell me earlier!"

If he had known that the Ling family would not be wiped out, he wouldn't have been so worried now.

"However, Xi'er, even if His Majesty does not hold the Ling family accountable, regarding Xinyao...she is your sister after all?!"

"Dad, what do you mean?" Ling Xi smiled half-heartedly: "You don't want to make a big thing out of a big thing, make it a trivial matter, and pretend that she killed me doesn't exist, right?"

"……this?"

"Dad, you have to understand one thing. The reason why I am standing here alive is because I am lucky, not because my sister is merciful! I was just one step away from being killed. You want me to let Ling Xinyao go now?"

Ling Zaifu was speechless for a moment.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want his two daughters to kill each other.

But they are already incompatible with each other, and they are facing life and death. As a father, it is really hard for him to say anything to break up the fight.

In the end, he had nothing and went back to his room dejectedly.

After Ling Xi washed up, Hua Luo brought a cup of warm decoction.

"Miss, I have taken medicine."

Ling Xi was wiping her hair without looking back: "What kind of medicine should I take? I'm not injured or sick..."

Suddenly, a strange memory flashed through her mind.

That is the memory of the paper man Ling Xi.

She drinks a bowl of medicine every morning or before going to bed.

In her memory, this medicine seemed to be given by the Queen Mother.

"Hua Luo, how long have I been taking this medicine?"

"It's been about three or four years, right? Intermittently," Hua Luo thought carefully for a long time: "In the beginning, the young lady ate twice a day, then once a day, and then every other time in the past year... Oh."

She remembered: "By the way, the medicine this time was delivered personally by the imperial doctor. It was said that the Queen Mother knew that the young lady was frightened during the palace incident, so she sent the soothing soup. Miss, this is the soothing soup."

"Soothing soup?" Ling Xi looked at the medicine, but she didn't feel uneasy at all.

[The Queen Mother is the absolute villain BOSS! 】

[She has always used me as a chess piece, how could she kindly give me soothing soup? 】

[Even if this medicine is not an immediately fatal poison, it will definitely not strengthen your body! 】

[...] "Miss?" Hua Luo looked at the medicine in confusion, then looked at Ling Xi: "This medicine..."

"Is the dregs of this medicine still there?"

"exist!"

"Give me the dregs of medicine!"

When Hua Luo brought the medicine residue, Ling Xi also changed into men's clothes.

Taking the medicine residue, she asked Hua Luo to trick the gatekeeper at the back door, quietly left Ling's house, hired a carriage, and went directly to Yuhu Village outside the West City.

An open space was opened next to the small pond at the end of the village, where many medicinal herbs were grown. A seven or eight-year-old child rolled up his sleeves and fetched water and watered the medicine by the pond.

"Xiaodouzi, is your mother at home?"

"Sister Ling," Xiaodouzi raised her head and pointed in the direction of her home with a smile: "Mom and dad are talking."

"Your father is back? He takes advantage of every opportunity to escape..."

Ling Xi pushed open the fence door and shouted from a distance.

"Hidden loyalty!"

After shouting twice in succession, Qian Shizhong's clothes were messy and he ran out in a hurry, looking embarrassed: "Ling, Miss Ling?"

He quickly glanced inside the room and asked in embarrassment: "Why are you here?"

"Are you done with everything in the palace? Are you going home to find your wife?"

"I've finished my work. His Majesty asked me to come back and say hello to my mother. I have to stay in the palace recently and won't be able to come back often. I just took the time to come back... Miss, what's the matter?"

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for your sister Yue," Ling Xi sat down in the yard and poured herself a cup of herbal tea.

Yueniang came out of the house, her cheeks were red, and she was holding a few clothes in her arms: "I'm packing his clothes... Miss Ling, do you want to see me for anything?"

"Please help me find out what this medicine is used for."

Ling Xi opened the medicine residue.

Yueniang was a medical girl. In her early years, she specialized in serving the concubines in the inner palace.

Later, after marrying Qian Shizhong, she gradually faded away from her status as a medical woman.

During the years when she was under house arrest by the tyrant, she raised her son and planted some medicinal herbs, firstly to relieve her boredom, and secondly to change her body.

Yueniang just casually pulled out the medicine residue, her face darkened, she looked at Ling Xi thoughtfully, but stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Miss Ling, this medicine... came from the palace, right?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"This is the most commonly used Huanshen Powder in the palace. It is a chronic medicine that can make people go crazy after long-term use..." Yueniang paused and sighed: "In the palace, when concubines compete for favor or want to get rid of their opponents, They will replace each other's daily soothing soup with Huanshen Powder."

Despite the peaceful appearance of the palace, the emperor and empress were loving and the concubines were harmonious.

In fact, everything inside is full of life and death threats.

"Miss Ling, where did you come from?" Qian Shizhong came over.

"The Queen Mother gives you medicine!"

"..."

"Give it to me!"

Ling Xi thought of the medicines given by the Queen Mother before and understood everything.

"Let me tell you, that old woman is so kind and cares about my health every time. It turns out...she is worried about whether I am crazy!"
