Meng Qi said: "A few days ago, the weather was dry, and my stomach was hot, so I specially asked the court gardener to transplant a few litsea cubeba from elsewhere, and they bloomed yesterday, and they were quite beautiful." ”

"By the way, do you know litsea cubeba? What is the name of your place? Litsea pepper, right? ”

The little gardener nodded, "Yes." ”

"Recently, the court gardener went back on leave, and I wanted to ask him how to get that litsea cubeba but he didn't have time, did you say that thing, is it boiled or ground, or some other way?" Meng Qi was a little puzzled.

The little gardener hurriedly said: "Chicken pepper is used to make tea, and it is okay to cook soup, it can remove lung heat and stomach heat, disinfect and reduce swelling." ”

Meng Qi asked again: "Then should you use the root bark or stem or flower of litsea cubeba?" ”

"If Your Majesty just has a hot stomach, and it's not serious, you can make litsea cubeba tea." The little gardener explained.

Meng Qi nodded and said, "That's it, I know." After saying that, he left the Qin Mansion with Sauron.

Qin Zhi followed next to Meng Qi, and Meng Qi joked: "Aiqing, are you going back to the harem with me?" ”

Qin Zhi smiled: "Your Majesty, you are laughing again, I am sending you." ”

"Okay, Aiqing is quite caring, the next time I come to visit, it will be when I propose marriage, wait for me." Meng Qi winked at Qin Zhi with a wicked smile.

Qin Zhi sent Meng Qi all the way to the intersection before turning back to Qin's mansion.

When she got home, she looked around the door again, and only closed the door and went in after making sure there were no special circumstances.

Seeing the little gardener who was waiting, Qin Zhi said angrily: "Why don't you come early or late, but this will come, and you ran into Your Majesty, how dangerous the situation was just now." ”

The gardener smiled bitterly: "How did I know that His Majesty was in the mansion." ”

"Fortunately, you answered His Majesty's question just now, hey, by the way, how do you know so clearly about the matter of litsea cubeba?" Qin Zhi was a little curious.

The gardener was a little glad and said, "My father also has a stomach fever, and he occasionally buys some chicken peppers to come back to make tea. ”

"What a coincidence, by the way, Lord Guo asked you to come this time, is there anything wrong?" Qin Zhi said.

The gardener hurriedly took out the secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Qin Zhi.

"Alright, you can go down." Qin Zhi took it.

"Yes." The little gardener went out.

Qin Zhi opened the secret letter, saw the contents of it, her face changed several times, she stood in place for a while, and then came back to her senses, she took out the fire fold and burned the secret letter directly, not daring to leave the slightest evidence.

At the intersection, after Meng Qi said goodbye to Qin Zhi, as soon as he turned his head, he smiled, and his face became cold.

After Zoro next to him caught a glimpse of Qin Zhi walking away, he asked out loud, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?" ”

"It seems that Xiangguo Liu Neng's guess is true, there is something wrong with this Qin Zhi." Meng Qi said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the gardener just had a problem? "There's something strange about Zoro.

Meng Qi nodded.

"Didn't the gardener answer your question? What's the problem? Sauron still didn't understand.

Meng Qi sneered: "What he said about the medicinal use of litsea cubeba is indeed true, but he ignored a question, that is, at this time, litsea cubeba has long passed the flowering season. ”

Zoro was stunned for a moment, he recalled that at the beginning, Meng Qi mentioned that the litsea cubeba transplanted from the back garden of the palace had bloomed, and it was quite beautiful.

And as a gardener, it is not normal to not know the flowering season of the local litsea pepper.

"I see." Zoro smiled helplessly.

"Then what are you going to do with this Qin Zhi?" Zoro asked.

"The same as dealing with that Guo Da, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, as long as they show their feet a little, I will directly behead them." Meng Qi said coldly.

Zoro said strangely: "Then you won't be reluctant?" Look down and you've always been very interested in that Qin Zhi. ”

Meng Qi said indifferently: "Some people say, I can't agree with this, but there is an unbreakable truth that a bad woman must be a disaster, try to stay away, if Qin Zhi is really on the opposite side of me, I will not hesitate to get rid of her." ”

Zoro was awe-inspiring, and admired this young emperor more and more in his heart, if a person had no weakness, it would be invincible, at least for now, Zoro he didn't see the weakness on Meng Qi's body.

After the two returned to the imperial court, it was still early, and Meng Qi went to the prison of the Criminal Department to visit Lord Zhao and Wei He.

The Criminal Department Shangshu Xingdao took Meng Qi to the lower level of the prison, and along the way, Meng Qi repeatedly explained that he must do a good job in security and ensure the safety of Zhao Qian and Wei He.

Xing Dao naturally nodded yes all the time, and reported on the recently tightened security measures to reassure Meng Qi.

Meng Qi first came to Zhao Qian's cell to comfort Zhao Qian.

Meng Qi also specially asked Xingdao to prepare a table of wine and food, which was placed in the cell.

There are three people in this cell, Zhao Qian, Zhang Dagen and the thief who was temporarily transferred to Qi Xingxing.

Coupled with Meng Qi, the four of them sat around, while Zoro and Xingdao did not sit down, they watched from the side.

It doesn't matter what the punishment is, Zoro slandered in his heart, Meng Qi ate so much at noon, he can still eat it, it's terrifying.

At the wine table, Qi Jiexing looked at Meng Qi with a sneer, and said, "Your Majesty, I caught that assassin last time, the mission should have been completed, why do you want me to stay here?" This place can't stay at all, it's been a long time, and it feels like the whole person stinks. ”

Meng Qi glared at Qi Jiexing and said, "You give me to stay honest, behave well this time, I will consider restoring your free body." ”

"Really? Your Majesty, don't bluff me. "Qi picks up the stars and is in good spirits.

"Nonsense, Your Majesty is a dignified ninety-five, and he is a man of all his word." Zoro said coldly.

"Then dare to be kind, I'll stay here, but I don't know, who is waiting for next, can Your Majesty reveal something?" Qi Juexing said with a smile.

Meng Qi said meaningfully: "This time it's not you waiting, I'm waiting." ”

Qi Jiexing frowned, as if he understood or not.

Meng Qi looked at Zhao Qian and said, "Lord Zhao, I have wronged you these days, and after I catch the person hiding in the secret, I will send you out immediately." ”

Zhao Qian said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as Your Majesty believes that you are here, you will stay here for a long time, and you will have no complaints." ”

Meng Qi reached out and patted Zhao Qian on the shoulder, nodded, and personally poured Zhao Qian a glass of wine.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhao Qian was terrified.

"Here, a toast." Meng Qi picked up the wine glass, and the two clinked glasses and drank, everything was in the wine glass.

Meng Qi looked at Zhang Dagen again and said with a smile: "Dagen, you have just been promoted to the Great Pillar Kingdom, and you were sent to this cell by me, are you so aggrieved and panicked." ”

"Huh? Where is what Your Majesty said, let alone this prison, as long as Your Majesty says a word, it is to let you go down to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and there is no half a sentence or two in the bottom. Zhang Dagen said angrily.

"Good! Let's have a drink too. Meng Qi personally poured Zhang Dagen another glass of wine.

Zhang Dagen took it and drank it all with Meng Qi, arrogant.

"You'll need to stay here for a while, I guess, and it won't be long before I figure out the person behind it." Meng Qi said solemnly.

"We all believe in Your Majesty." Zhang Dagen and Zhao Qian said in unison.

The Qi Xing thief next to him hurriedly echoed: "I also believe in Your Majesty's commitment to Zaixia." ”

After a few people finished eating, Meng Qi asked people to withdraw from the wine table, and then he came to the cell where Wei He was held.
