Chapter 36: Sacred Water Beads (2)
When the emperor heard this, he was slightly stunned, Yun Xiao suddenly said this, it was not like her usual style, he was suddenly very curious, what reward Yun Xiao wanted to ask for from him, so he asked:
"Crown Princess, I can give you a reward in advance, but you have to tell me first what reward you want!"
Yun Xiao was very happy when she heard this, she sorted out her language a little, and replied:
"The concubine has been feeling cold recently, especially after nightfall, her legs and feet will be very sore, and the concubine heard that ...... The holy water beads, the national treasure of the Tianshan Kingdom, have the effect of treating cold legs, so I have the courage to borrow it from my father and use it, and I won't use it for a long time, and I hope that my father will have mercy! ”
"It turns out that you want that bead, the envoy of the Tianshan Kingdom, touting its amazing curative effect, and you even believe it, I see...... You don't have cold legs, but you see that the bead is beautiful, and you want to put it in your dormitory, and use it as a pearl that night! ”
The emperor smiled from ear to ear,
"It's at the bottom of the biggest cabinet opposite, and no one has touched it, you can get it yourself, keep it if you like it, and you don't have to return it!"
When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but blush, but now it was difficult to explain, so he could only be blessed and said, "Thank you for your reward!" ”
Here, Dugu Yexue said again: "Your Majesty, I'll go and write you a recipe for detoxification, but I first came to the palace and am not familiar with the road in the palace, can I let the crown princess guide me?" ”
The emperor was also tired after talking for a long time, he reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said:
"Okay, princess, you will lead the way for Mr. Dugu, and when you go out, let the palace people enter the inner hall to serve."
"The concubine obeys the order, father, please rest well!"
After saying this, Yun Xiao took out the holy water beads and withdrew from the inner hall of the Chengqian Hall with Dugu Yexue.
--------------------
Dugu Yexue wrote a recipe for detoxification for the emperor in Xinuan Pavilion, and carefully explained the methods used by the palace people before going to the East Palace with Yun Xiao.
This time, the queen and the jade concubine did not come out again to embarrass Yun Xiao, and on the way back, Dugu Yexue asked Yun Xiao:
"Just now in the inner hall of the Chengqian Palace, why didn't you tell the emperor directly that this holy water bead may be poisonous, but you have to ask for this bead in a roundabout way? Although, you are now the crown princess and your status is noble, but you can poison the emperor and do it so secretly, you are definitely not an ordinary person, and you want to find out the murderer of this poison by yourself, I am afraid it will be difficult. This matter still needs to be ordered by the emperor to investigate! ”
Hearing this, Yun Xiao turned his head and glanced at the holy water beads on the plate in Qianyue's hand, let out a long sigh, and replied:
"Master, you are right, my strength alone is too small, but before the matter is completely determined, I dare not rashly go to the emperor and talk about the matter of the holy water beads...... This holy water bead is a gift from the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom, involving the relationship between my Great Xia Kingdom and the Tianshan Kingdom. ”
"Hahahahahaha......ha ”
"Master......" Yun Xiao frowned, "I'm your apprentice, do you want me to become a red face and a curse for 10,000 years?!" ”
"I can't decide this matter, I want to ask your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you are willing to let you be this red face and trouble! I've already heard your eldest brother say in Yunfu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes you very much, and his side concubine is not as good as you at all, don't try to lie to me! ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, his cheeks burned red, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Why does the eldest brother have so many mouths? Even this one? ”
On the other side, Dugu Yexue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Yun Xiao, what are you muttering in a whisper?" ”
Yun Xiao settled down and diverted the topic:
"Master, we have arrived, and the East Palace is in front of ......"
Dugu Yexue let out an "oh" and looked up.
The two entered the East Palace together, and Xia Rui, who had already gotten the news, hurriedly greeted him and said politely:
"This is the world-famous Mr. Dugu, please take a seat!"
Dugu Yexue smiled, saluted Xia Rui with Yun Xiao, and took a seat.
When Xia Rui saw the box in Qianyue's hand, he knew that it contained the holy water beads, and asked suspiciously, "Crown princess, did you bring the holy water beads back?" ”
Yun Xiao nodded, and then turned to Qianyue and said, "Qianyue, you put down the things in your hand, take them all down, and then, you go to the warehouse to get three pairs of gloves and send them over." ”
"Yes." Chizuki replied obediently.
After a while, all the palace people withdrew.
Seeing this, Xia Rui immediately felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Father's illness can't have anything to do with this holy water bead, right?" ”
Yun Xiao said with a solemn expression: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is just the suspicion of the concubine, it has not been confirmed, my father is now weak, and the concubine does not dare to disturb the father's recuperation with this matter privately, so she can only borrow this holy water bead first and study it carefully under the pretext that she has a cold disease in her legs." ”
Xia Rui heard this and nodded.
Next, Yun Xiao told Dugu Yexue in detail about the emperor's visit to the emperor and his own speculation in the Chengqian Palace.
After listening to this, Xia Rui's face sank like water.
He looked at the box containing the holy water beads again, got up and walked in front of it, and said:
"Recall carefully, it is true that only the father emperor has touched this holy water bead, your speculation is very reasonable, is it really the people of the Tianshan Kingdom who are plotting to kill the father emperor?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.
Yun Xiao knew that it was Qianyue who sent gloves over, so he raised his voice and said, "Come in!" ”
After a while, I saw Qianyue walking in with gloves.
After Chizuki put down her gloves and exited, and closed the door to the main hall, the three of them put on their gloves at the same time.
Dugu Yexue opened the box and took out the holy water beads from it, with gloves for protection, even if there was residual fire extract poison on the holy water beads, it would not cause harm to the human body.
However, after Dugu Yexue carefully examined it, she made an astonishing discovery: "This holy water bead is a real holy water bead, and besides, it is not poisonous!" ”
Yun Xiao was taken aback when she heard this, her eyes widened, she looked at Dugu Yexue, and said, "What?!" No poison? How so? Are we guessing in the wrong direction? ”
