Chapter Sixty-Eight: Deadly Joke!

"Thank you, Your Highness. Li Yiqi took a deep breath, with a wry smile on his face, and took the brocade box containing the elixir.

The moment he took the brocade box, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Yiqi's mind, and he suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what did you just say...... Did you see the Queen last night?"

"I saw it, and the queen mother was in a bad condition. The light in Xia Qing's eyes seemed to dim a little.

"What did Niangniang say, about the matter between her and Her Majesty?" Li Yiqi asked with a frown.

"Without going into details, the queen mother looks very strange. Thinking of the queen's warning to herself, Xia Qing's heart tightened again, and she said quietly: "I have never seen the queen mother become so decadent......

Li Yiqi listened silently, quite surprised in his heart, and his eyes showed a contemplative look. The hallucination he had seen before was too shocking, and his mind was blank, and he had just reacted. According to his estimate, this time the prince was arranged to go to Huangzhou, and he would definitely be inseparable from the queen's mother.

Judging from the fact that all the letterheads he sent to Kunning Palace were intercepted, Emperor Xia is still under house arrest and has no intention of regaining favor. The harem has always been expensive for mothers and sons, and sons for mothers. The crown prince is the child of Emperor Xia, but he is also the child of the queen, and it is impossible for Emperor Xia to let the prince go to Huangzhou, and it is impossible not to discuss with the queen.

If it was just because the queen angered Emperor Xia that the crown prince was implicated, then the whole thing would still be reasonable.

It's just that......

Li Yiqi touched the tip of his nose, and his eyes flashed with a deep light.

For some reason, he always felt that the whole thing was not so simple, as if there was something important that he had overlooked.

"It's so dangerous, I was almost recognized just now. ”

Seeing Li Yiqi's contemplative look, Xia Qing's obsidian-like eyes flickered, but fortunately, the other party had completely put his mind elsewhere at this time, which made her secretly relieved.

"Is it really like what Wang Tianyu said, I can only go to him to change the news?"

Li Yiqi frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and then spoke: "Your Highness, Weichen will try to arrange for someone to inquire about the news in the palace, as for Your Highness, it is best not to enter the palace to see the queen mother recently, so as not to make Your Majesty unhappy." ”

"Got it. Xia Qing said in a low voice, and there was inevitably a hint of loneliness and grievance in his voice.

Weichen retreated first. Li Yiqi saw the prince's lonely and lonely appearance, sighed helplessly in his heart, weighed the brocade box in his hand, and was about to retire.

At this moment, Xia Qing suddenly had a light in his eyes and stopped him: "Alas, you wait!"

"Is there anything else Your Highness does?" Li Yiqi's eyes moved slightly, and he wondered.

"What did my father give me, don't you open it and take a look?" Xia Qing's round mouth smiled at the brocade box in Li Yiqi's hand, and said quietly.

"Didn't you say the elixir......

Li Yiqi said secretly in his heart.

He opened the brocade box and looked at it, and found that the two elixirs placed inside exuded a clear fragrance and were as round as a dragon's eye, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously floated a wry smile, and he sighed in his heart: "Ordinary families, if you want to get a elixir, you don't know how much trouble you have to waste, or the royal family is powerful, and the richness of the treasury is far from being comparable to ordinary families." ”

In the Great Xia Dynasty, there were only two places where you could get the elixir, one was the Jianghu sect realm, and almost all the people in these sects had their own unique elixir formula. And the other place is the Great Xia royal family.

Speaking of the number and types of elixirs contained in the royal family, they are even better than those in the Jianghu sect world. In the previous life, Li Yiqi often listened to some gossipy princes talking about some secret and mysterious rumors in the palace, such as the alchemist who used the royal family to refine the elixir for the royal family.

It is said that these alchemists were originally some wandering magicians, and they should have been regarded as people in the sect world, they were supported by the imperial court, alchemized for the imperial court, and cultivated disciples, and gradually had their own system, which had nothing to do with the sectarian world. These people have a special identity, a very high status, and all forces want to make friends, Li Yiqi once saw an alchemist on the birthday of the old man of the Tang family, who was wearing a Taoist robe, and when he went in and out, he hugged back and forth, and his nose was about to go to the sky.

In addition to the royal family, if other people want to ask these people to make alchemy, the price they will have to spend is really not small. Li Yiqi has only been in the East Palace for a month, and he has already been rewarded with three elixirs by the prince, if he doesn't need to think about the survival of the Li family, the prince's succession and other issues, he is willing to stay in the East Palace for the rest of his life.

"That's it......"

Unexpectedly, after Xia Qing glanced at the elixir that was regarded as a heavy treasure by Li Yiqi, the latter had an unconcealable disappointment in his eyes, as if he was looking at two pieces of garbage, and pouted: "This thing is the most unpalatable." ”

Hearing this, Li Yiqi had an urge to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, he raised his eyebrows, looked at the prince with strange eyes, and didn't know what to say. For outsiders, the elixir is unattainable and unattainable, but in the eyes of the prince, it can only be confused with food......

Feeling the strange look in Li Yiqi's eyes, Xia Qingdai raised her eyebrows slightly, and said unhappily: "What this palace said is the truth, don't believe you taste it yourself." ”

Li Yiqi was stunned, his face was even more weird, if he added the elixir given to him by the prince last time, there were already three elixirs in his hand, and it was nothing to eat one.

It's just that...... Can you eat this stuff as you like?

Li Yiqi secretly shook his head in his heart, although with the energy of the Li family, it was not difficult to get a spirit pill, even if it was to buy it from a Dan master in the sect realm. However, because he has never had a relationship with martial arts since he was a child, things like elixirs to improve his cultivation are like chicken ribs to him, let alone convincing. The elixir is used on the body of the warrior to make the best use of it, and it is used on him to draw water with a bamboo basket.

"Your Highness, the elixir is refined from the essence of the spirit treasure of heaven and earth, and it is not worth wasting one in order to taste it. Li Yiqi's face flashed with a special meaning, and he said indifferently, not noticing the narrow smile in the prince's eyes at this time.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a mischievous smile flashed in Xia Qing's eyes, and he quickly took out a spirit pill from the brocade box and stuffed it into Li Yiqi's mouth, and said with a smile: "It's done." ”

"Your Highness......"

Li Yiqi pinched his neck, his eyes were wide open, staring at the prince incredulously, the elixir melted in his mouth, and before he could react, he felt that there was already a warmth flowing into his abdomen.

"Okay, now you believe what Hongu says. Xia Qing clapped her hands and smiled contentedly.

"Your Highness, you, you...... What are you doing?!" Li Yiqi's neck flushed, glared at the prince angrily, and shouted.

"Just kidding, what kind of temper......" Xia Qing glanced at him resentfully.

"You're too kidding!" Li Yiqi looked at her coldly, and felt the urge to beat people up.

No one likes to suddenly have someone stuff something in their mouth, or something that melts in their mouth and doesn't even have a chance to spit it out.

Fortunately, the prince gave him the elixir this time, but what if the prince fed him poison next time...... I didn't wait for him to react and stuffed it into his mouth, so it was worth it!

Seeing Li Yiqi's appearance approaching the breaking point, Xia Qing also felt a little furious in his heart, blinked his eyelashes that were as slender as a fan, revealed a quirky smile, and said coquettishly: "Okay, this palace is wrong, who told you not to believe what this palace said, you can taste it now, is it not delicious......

"Ahem-" Li Yiqi had a bitter face, coughed a few times, and did not reply. He pursed his lips and closed his eyes to feel it.

"I don't feel it. After a long time, he shook his head silently, with a helpless wry smile on his face.

Speaking from the heart, the taste of the elixir is not unpleasant, although it has a somewhat astringent taste, but it has a slight feeling of coolness into the lungs, just like drinking tea. It's just that I don't feel anything other than the taste, not even the slightest feeling of hunger.

"The bamboo basket was empty, wasting a elixir. ”

Li Yiqi sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he hated his body more and more. Others are empty treasure mountains and can not enter, empty treasure mountains without knowing it, they are mud can not support the wall, rotten wood can not be carved. A treasure like the elixir can't react at all in his body, and he is worthy of being recognized by the famous doctors in the capital as a waste of martial arts.

"Ahh——!h

Just when Li Yiqi was still tasting the taste of the elixir and sighing to himself, suddenly, the prince's frightened cry came from his ears.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Yiqi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the latter in puzzlement, but met the prince's frightened eyes.

"You...... Yours...... Nose ......"

Xia Qing's little face turned pale, and her fair, slender fingers trembled and pointed at Li Yiqi, with an indescribable panic expression.

"Nose?"

Li Yiqi was slightly stunned, and at this moment, he also felt a trace of warm stuff gushing out of his nasal cavity, and subconsciously wiped it with his hand.

Blood!

That's a lot of blood!

"This ......" Li Yiqi's face changed suddenly, and in an instant, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and before he could speak, he seemed to hear a 'buzz' sound in his body.

Poof-

At this moment, Li Yiqi seemed to feel a raging fire burning in his abdomen, but in the blink of an eye, this flame suddenly exploded and turned into a huge sea of fire. Then his throat was sweet, and blood spat out of his mouth like a fine spring.

"Ahh

Li Yiqi let out a heart-rending scream, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

With his ability and concentration and will, ordinary pain, as long as it is not too unbearable, will not be exposed on the surface. However, Li Yiqi only felt that there was a fire dragon raging in his body at this moment, this fire dragon was swimming all over his body along the eight veins of his strange meridians, as if he was looking for an outlet, as long as he couldn't find this vent, it would frantically impact his internal organs, making him feel that his internal organs were about to be torn apart by the flames.

This feeling of being burned by the fire is not at all unbearable for ordinary people, and a large amount of blood flows out of his eyes, ears, and mouth, falling on the white jade stone floor of the Wude Palace, as if someone has splashed ink on white rice paper, outlining the outline of a plum tree.

"Someone!" Xia Qing was already stunned by the scene in front of him, and was stunned for two seconds before he hid his face and screamed: "Come on!"

"Your Highness, what's going on?" Two burly and tall figures rushed in from outside the door like arrows, it was Han Li and Dong Xiong.

"How could this be?" Han Li and Dong Xiong saw that the crown prince was unharmed, but Li Yiqi fell in a pool of blood, both of them were shocked, and their faces changed drastically.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with him, Childe?" Han Li's eyes widened and he asked urgently. It had been less than a few minutes since he and Dong Xiong went out of the hall, how did Li Yiqi become such a miserable scene.

Is there an assassin in the East Palace?

He ...... He ......"

Xia Qing's face turned slightly pale, and in the face of questioning, his body trembled, covering his face with his hands, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

She just made a joke and fed the other party a elixir, how could it be like this?

Xia Qing really didn't understand why Li Yiqi became like this, when she used to take the elixir, she just felt a warm current flowing through her body, and then her mouth was bitter...... As for the other cases, it has not happened once, let alone bleeding like Li Yiqi.

Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but secretly frown, and hurriedly shouted at Dong Xiong: "You go to the Imperial Doctor, and I will protect Gongzi's heart!"

After speaking, the others had already rushed to Li Yiqi's side and picked him up from the ground. At the same time, the palm of his hand stretched out and slapped heavily on Li Yiqi's back, smashing a majestic true qi into the latter's body.

Han Li's speed was fast, Dong Xiong's speed was not slow, he and Han Li were old partners, they only needed one look to know how to cooperate, and now when they heard Han Li's words, they turned around and rushed out of the door like the wind.
