Chapter 45: A serial plan to remove the thorn in the side ([-])

"This Li Sheng is the third leader of that group of water bandits," Zhao Ce from the next table interjected, "I heard that he is born with supernatural power and can fight one against a hundred."

"Brother Shizi, how can you embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Aren't we ourselves powerful?" Ye Lingxi asked in return.

Rong Jue smoothed things over and said, "How can a bandit leader be compared with General Yan? General Yan was known as a victorious general back then. How could he be defeated by a group of water bandits?" As he spoke, his eyes looked in the direction of Ye Lingjue. He glanced at it and saw Hu Yuhan smiling and not knowing what he was talking about.

If you lose, wouldn't it be a joke? That's what Ye Lingxi said to you, kid.

After school in the afternoon, Ye Lingxi hid behind the rockery near Weiyang Palace and taught Hehe to go back first. After Hehe took Aunt Li out, she immediately slipped back and asked Lingdang to separate Cai'er one after another. and Amber quietly slipped into Aunt Li's house.

The first thing she checked was the bed. There was just some private money hidden under the quilt and pillows. Ye Lingxi banged on the bed board for a while, but found no mezzanine. After putting the bed back as it was, she went to check the dressing table. Sure enough, there was a Something strange was found on the jewelry box. There was a hair clipped on the middle drawer. If she opened it and then closed it, Aunt Li would find that someone had entered the house and opened her jewelry box when she came back.

Ye Lingxi first pulled out her hair and then opened the drawer. There were jewelry inside, but nothing else. She reached in and touched up and down. Her fingers touched a trap on the upper partition. She pressed it lightly and there was something there. Something fell into her hand, and she saw a small glass vial, about an inch in size. It contained a colorless liquid, and the silver screw cap on it was also very small and delicate.She opened the lid and smelled it. First there was the smell of osmanthus dew. She smelled it carefully again, mixed with a few hints of bitterness. Thinking of the white pot, she immediately confirmed that the bottle contained the harmful smell. Human stuff.

After putting the bottle back in its place, Ye Lingxi clamped her hair in place and closed the drawer. After observing at the window for a while, she quietly left the room.

When He He and Aunt Li came back, Ye Lingxi was sitting on the swing in the yard.

"Princess, why did you come back alone? Make it easy for me to find you."

He He walked toward Ye Lingxi anxiously, but Aunt Li didn't see any clues.

Just now He He came to tell Aunt Li that Ye Lingxi was lost in the Royal Garden and could not be found anywhere. He He was so anxious that he almost cried and begged Aunt Li to search with her. Aunt Li was dubious and asked her in the Royal Garden After searching around and finding no one, I took Hehe back to take a look. Maybe the person would have come back on his own. Sure enough, he had come back a long time ago. Aunt Li just thought Ye Lingxi was naughty and deliberately hid to play tricks on others, but she didn't Thinking elsewhere, she didn't know that the other party had already searched inside her room.

In the evening, when Aunt Li returned to the house, she first looked at the hair clipped on the drawer. It had not been moved. Then she opened the drawer, pressed the trap, took out the glass bottle, looked at it, and put it back before going to fetch water to wash herself. .

The next day, Ye Lingxi still only took He He to the study. At noon, she accidentally spilled soup on her dress. He He came back and got a clean set of dresses, and begged Aunt Li to go with her, fearing that Ye Lingxi would He deliberately hid like yesterday, and she couldn't look after him alone.

After Hehe and Aunt Li left, Lingdang quietly entered Aunt Li's room, picked up the jewelry from the second layer of the jewelry box to the bottom layer, then took out the glass vial from the mezzanine and put it on the middle drawer, and then put yesterday's jewelry into the middle drawer. The flower petals from the clothes were spread on it. Finally, she clipped her hair and closed the drawer, then quietly left the house.

On the other side, after Ye Lingxi changed her clothes and returned to the study, she opened the book box a crack. A bee buzzed out and circled around Ye Lingxi's fragrant dress, scaring her so much that she ran away screaming. After leaving the study room, he rushed into the imperial garden.

It was the time when the flowers were blooming, the butterflies were playing, and the bees were noisy. The bees chasing after them quickly changed from one to two, and from two to four... After a while, I saw a swarm of buzzing bees surrounding them. Swirling in the night spirit.Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, He He couldn't help but sweat.

Ye Lingxi also prepared a means of self-rescue. He put his hand into his sleeve and was about to take out a bottle of pepper and smash it on the ground. Ye Lingjue took the first step and threw off his robe to drive away a wave of bees and immediately put the robe over Ye Lingxi's head. , picked her up and fled to the study. At Ye Xingye, Zhao Ce and Hu Yuhan also took off their outer robes and swung them around to cover themselves. The group of people returned to the study noisily.

When Ye Lingxi showed his face, Zhao Ce was the first to burst into laughter. The more he laughed, the harder he laughed, and finally he laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.

I don't know which little bee stung her on the cheek. As a result, her cheeks became red, swollen, round, and too cute to look at.

He He quickly ran to the imperial hospital to ask for the imperial doctor, and asked the imperial doctor Han according to Ye Lingxi's instructions in advance. When the imperial doctor Qian heard that it was Ye Lingxi who wanted to see a doctor, he had already avoided him. When he heard that it was the imperial doctor Han, he felt gloating. .

On the other side, Lingdang heard the movement in the imperial garden and immediately went to the imperial study. She anxiously reported to Eunuch De that the princess had been stung by a swarm of bees. Eunuch De went in and reported to Ye Lanchen again.

When Ye Lanchen took Eunuch De over, he saw Ye Lingxi's red and swollen cheeks. He felt funny and angry. After laughing for a while, he asked what happened.

When Imperial Doctor Han examined Ye Lingxi, He He reported what had happened. Aunt Li saw that the dress on Ye Lingxi was made of fabric sent by Concubine Xiao, and she smelled it again when she was changing clothes for Ye Lingxi. There was a scent, and she thought it was contaminated by some spice sachets placed in the cabinet, but now that the emperor was here again, Aunt Li was a little surprised and confused.

After the consultation, Dr. Han took out a bottle of heat-clearing and toxin-removing ointment and handed it to Hehe so that she could apply it on Ye Lingxi first.

"Okay, why did you get stung by a bee?" Ye Lanchen looked at Imperial Physician Han, who replied thoughtfully, "The dress the princess wore has a scent. Whether the scent attracted the bees, Wei Chen is not sure yet. .”

"Princess's clothes have never been scented with any fragrance." Ling Dang affirmed.

He He also replied: "Your Majesty, when I brought this dress for the princess to put on, I felt a little strange. At that time, I smelled a fragrance, like the fragrance of flowers. I don't know where it came from. At that time, the slave I didn’t expect the aroma to attract bees.”

"Needless to say, someone must be trying to harm your master." Zhao Ce looked confident.

Eunuch De said kindly: "Young gentlemen, please go back to the study first."
