Chapter Twenty-Three: The Puppet Spellcaster
When Jiang Li returned to the princess's mansion, she saw Ye Xixi leaning in the pavilion, and she didn't know what she was worried about, so she walked over and asked, "What troubles does the eldest princess have?" ”
Ye Xixi bit her lip, exhaled again, and scratched her head, "I seem to have done something wrong." ”
Jiang Li looked at Ye Xixi's worried appearance, and felt very cute, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, she hooked the corners of her mouth, and asked with a smile, "The eldest princess might as well tell me about it?" ”
Ye Xixi told Jiang Li about seeing the starry night in Shili Tea Fragrance today, and said, "I should not have asked the origin of the mermaid's tears if I knew it earlier, and I was curious for a while, so I said it, according to my understanding of Su Xingci's character, the next time I go to Qianji Pavilion must be him, in this way, whether you go to take the task or I go to take the task, it is possible for him to see the flaws, and you also know that his guy has a terrible brain." ”
After listening to this, Jiang Li nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if the two of us go, with Le Xi's ability to observe the details, it is very likely that he will be a gang, even if I am careful, it will not work." ”
"So what do you say you do?"
"The eldest princess has been ordering the Thousand Machines Pavilion to find the Fire Dragon Grass, but is it for Le Xi?" Jiang Li suddenly felt sad and asked softly.
Ye Xixi admitted, "It's really for him, I don't want to bear the reputation of Kezhun Concubine, he obviously has his own illness, and when the time comes, it will hurt my reputation badly, I will lose too much." ”
Jiang Li looked at Ye Xixi's serious answer, she didn't have any other little woman's thoughts at all, she felt a lot more comfortable, and laughed at herself for asking too much, what did the eldest princess want to do, where did he ask, the two of them were originally married by the emperor, what qualifications did he have to be sad.
Seeing that Jiang Li hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye Xixi raised her eyes to look at Jiang Li, "Can you think of any solution?" ”
"Does the eldest princess remember the guardian of the Sea of Thousands of Miles of Books?"
"Remember, I asked you to save him." Ye Xixi recalled that in the previous life, he also saved the sacrificial eagle, and the identity of the sacrificial eagle in the Thousand Machine Pavilion was similar to Jiang Li, in this life, because of Jiang Li and Lu Yu, Ye Xixi did not assign too many tasks to the sacrificial eagle, "It's not bad for him to take the task, he is the news keeper, his mouth is also strict, and his martial arts are also high, the point is that Su Xingci doesn't know him." ”
The more Ye Xixi thought about it, the more she felt that it was appropriate, "Two days later, let the sacrificial eagle go to Shili Tea with a mask, let's go to the sea of books and wait to hear the story." ”
Jiang Li bowed his head, bowed, and went to the sea of books.
As soon as Ye Xixi wanted to go back to the study and continue reading, Cai Zhong came to the princess's mansion.
"The slave sees the eldest princess."
"Father-in-law Cai is exempt."
"The eldest princess hasn't been in the palace for a long time, Your Majesty misses the eldest princess, let the servants invite you into the palace."
Ye Xixi thought about it, she really hadn't entered the palace for a few days, and she didn't know what the situation in the palace was now, so she nodded, "Okay, please Gonggong Cai later, I'll go change my clothes and come." ”
Cai Zhong bent over with a smile, "Yes, the minion is waiting for you here." ”
Ye Xixi went back to the bedroom to change into palace clothes, and followed Cai Zhong into the palace.
Emperor Cang'an was in the imperial study at this time.
"Brother Emperor."
There is no need for people, Ye Xixi walked in directly, this is the privilege given to her by Emperor Cang'an, and it is also a matter of jealousy of the harem concubines.
Emperor Cang'an raised his head and saw Ye Xixi with a vigorous face, most of the gloom in the Sucha Palace had been swept away in the past few days.
"Do you remember your emperor brother? If I don't invite you, you won't know how to come? I haven't been in the palace for a few days? ”
Ye Xixi walked over, pinched Emperor Cang'an's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "A few days ago, the prince of the war gave me a few travelogues, and I was fascinated by it all of a sudden, don't be angry with me, didn't I come?" ”
"Oh? You, a quasi-colt, will do what he likes, and I have some solitary books, so I'll reward you later. ”
Ye Xixi's eyes flashed, and she responded happily, "Then Mingxi has thanked the emperor's brother, has the emperor's brother found the caster of the puppet technique?" ”
When Emperor Cang'an heard the puppet technique, his expression immediately became gloomy.
Ye Xixi looked at Emperor Cang'an, then at Cai Zhong, Cai Zhong asked Emperor Cang'an, and Emperor Cang'an nodded.
Cai Zhong told the ins and outs.
Cai Zhong followed Ye Xixi's instructions, checked the palace people who had a holiday with Concubine Jing, and finally found Concubine Xian Luo Yunfang, Concubine Xian was once pregnant with the dragon species, but because of Concubine Jing's difficulties, the child was not saved, Emperor Cang'an confined Concubine Jing for two months, and then released it, not long after it was released, Concubine Xian began to contact the three princes, and the three princes also stayed at Concubine Xian's place a few times. transferred his feelings to the three princes.
Later, Concubine Xian began to alienate the three princes again, until that day Emperor Cang'an went out of the palace to participate in the birthday of the prince of war, the silver needle completely connected the muscles and bones in the body of the three princes, and met the conditions for the control of the puppet technique, so that the three princes were controlled, and the cursed thing was smashed into Concubine Jing's stomach.
Originally, Concubine Xian was not suspected, but Cai Zhong led people to search the palace wantonly, and the noise was too big, and the queen's palace was turned into a mess.
Ye Xixi listened and thought back to the previous life, Concubine Xian in the previous life was given poisoned wine by Emperor Cang'an, but the puppet technique in the previous life was not discovered, Concubine Xian was given death because she assassinated Emperor Cang'an, because Concubine Xian thought that her sister and mother were killed by Emperor Cang'an.
Concubine Xian's sister is Emperor Cangxi's concubine, when Emperor Cang'an invaded Canglan City, Concubine Wan's mother happened to enter the palace to visit, Emperor Cangxi saw that the general trend had gone, afraid that he was lonely on the Huangquan Road, and had to take the harem on the road together, so he slaughtered in the palace, concubines, princes, princesses, but all those in the palace, all killed clean, Concubine Wan and the mother of the two, were also killed together at that time, Concubine Xian always thought that Emperor Cang'an rebelled and slaughtered the entire palace, causing the death of her sister and mother, in order to take revenge, she entered the palace.
She originally planned to take away the throne that Emperor Cang'an cared about the most, and then kill Emperor Cang'an, so she was willing to have a child with Emperor Cang'an, but who knows, it was destroyed by Concubine Jing, so she had murderous intentions.
It's just that in this life, because of Ye Xixi's relationship, Concubine Xian didn't have time to assassinate Emperor Cang'an, and she was exposed in advance because of the puppet technique.
"Concubine Xian has been recruited?"
Cai Zhong returned honestly, "Concubine Xian has already admitted that she ingested the silver needle into the body of the third prince, and implemented the puppet technique to control the third prince and make Concubine Jing childless. ”
Ye Xixi was still waiting for Cai Zhong to continue, but Cai Zhong didn't follow, Ye Xixi frowned and asked, "How could she, a person from the Canglan Kingdom, understand the secret techniques of the Yuezhu Kingdom and not continue the trial?" ”
Cai Zhong was embarrassed, "Back to the eldest princess, the slave was tried, and she tried her best, she just didn't say who instructed her, she said that person would avenge her." ”
