Chapter 418: Torture
After Shen Ling had prepared everything, he turned around and found that Jing Xi's hands trembled slightly when he looked at the Xuanbing Tree in front of him, he seemed to be trying to calm his emotions, but he still slipped out of his eyes, and his resentful eyes were enough to show how resistant he was to all this.
Since ancient times, the emperor's defensive heart has hurt people the most, she has never experienced it, but she can also feel how cold Jing Xi's heart is now.
"Although the emperor is not a good person through and through, you and I can't punish ourselves with such a thing, and the best way to solve this matter is to treat others the way they do."
She couldn't really explain and comfort him from the emperor's point of view, so she could only keep telling him to "look forward".
"I know." Jing Xi hooked her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand and ravaged a handful of Shen Ling's hair, indicating that she didn't care, but she could sense that the eyes in his eyes looking at the Xuanbing tree in front of him were even more ruthless.
He also seemed to want to do something to make the emperor feel this embarrassment.
Seeing this, Shen Ling reached out and picked up the Xuanbing tree species in front of her, she didn't want to startle the snake so quickly, but seeing that Jing Xi was so resentful, she suddenly changed her mind.
She put these Xuanbing tree species directly into her pocket, and calculated the time that the emperor had celebrated with the whole country these days, and wondered if he would regain his vigilance at this time and a half, since this was the case, it was indeed a long time.
"I've taken care of this, let's go out first, so we don't have to be discovered." Shen Ling decided not to be so arrogant in the palace for the time being, took Jing Xi's hand, got up and left and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely let him be punished."
Jing Ci looked at Shen Ling, who was smiling like a little sun beside him, and the smile on his face deepened.
suddenly felt that although the emperor's hatred was not so important, as long as she was happy, everything was worth it.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the palace gate, Shen Ling and Jing Ci found a small inn near the capital, pretended to be a little eunuch in the palace, and when they left the palace gate, they were a young couple who had just gotten married.
As soon as the door of the inn was closed, Shen Ling became a "demon girl" who could refine medicines.
She put the Xuanbing tree species she found from the palace on the table and quietly observed.
It was found that these tree species are different from others, and the reason why poisons are poisons can cause incredible consequences when taken directly from the mouth of a person.
"The toxins that can be extracted by this Xuanbing tree species are far more than just shouting poison, cold poison is only the most basic one, and it can also bring out more powerful toxins, as long as he takes it, although it will not make him die immediately, but he will not be able to survive and die, which is enough for him to bear it."
Shen Ling said to Jing Xi, and after the latter nodded happily in agreement, she closed the door and concentrated on refining the toxin, until three hours later, she had to wipe the sweat from her forehead, grind the poison she had practiced into powder, and put it in a paper bag.
Early the next morning, Shen Ling appeared in the palace again with Jing Ci.
This time they went to the imperial dining room, and with precise martial arts, they evaded the guards of the others and put the medicine in the emperor's meal.
In order to avoid the situation that the emperor sent someone to test the poison before eating it and exposed it, Shen Ling specially strengthened the efficacy of the drug, making it colorless, tasteless and untestable, delaying the time of its attack, so that it could enter the emperor's body without a trace.
After completing everything, the two did not leave the palace, but chose to stay in a relatively hidden place to watch the emperor fall ill.
"Is it worth it for me to bother you so much?" Jing Qi looked at Shen Ling's more serious appearance than her, and couldn't help but ask after finishing everything.
It seemed like she could live so happily forever, ignoring the eyes of others.
Hearing this, Shen Ling looked at him with curious eyes, I don't know why he asked, and nodded after a long time, "It's worth it, why isn't it worth it?" You've done a lot for me, so what about you? Do you regret it?"
The series of questions she asked turned her head seemed to converge into a warm current, which moistened into Jing Xi's heart, and he looked at her with gentle eyes, and chose to be silent after a long time.
Everyone said that Shen Ling had done a lot for Jing Xi, but she clearly knew that what she had done was not as good as him at all.
When his life was in danger, he was able to give her the dragon spirit that saved his life.
The two waited until midnight, and sure enough, they found that the people in the emperor's palace were coming in and out like headless flies, and later several imperial doctors came to diagnose and treat.
At that time, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely anxious.
"The emperor suddenly coughed non-stop, and had symptoms of vomiting blood, and he always sweated from time to time, and his body was also cold and hot." The personal eunuch beside the emperor limped his legs, and knelt on the ground trembling to explain the symptoms to the imperial doctor.
"The cold and heat in the emperor's body are intertwined, presumably caused by the cold in the dragon's body, I will prescribe some prescriptions to take it first."
The Imperial Doctor didn't find anything abnormal after the pulse, but he didn't dare to say it directly for fear of being killed, so he had to find a reason to fool everyone, planning to observe it after a while.
The emperor lay on the dragon bed, feeling that he was about to collapse, and was tortured all night, but his intuition told him that this disease did not fall from the sky.
"Did you say that I was overjoyed because I killed Shen Ling?" The emperor suddenly said to the eunuch kneeling beside him.
The other party was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said some blessings to please the emperor, "This person is already dead, the emperor is the son of heaven, and their lonely souls and wild ghosts will not dare to approach the emperor."
When the emperor heard this, he waved his hand, but he still felt surprised in his heart.
Until he saw a piece of paper appear at the head of the bed.
He slowly took out the paper and found that it was a letter, white and red, which was very conspicuous.
He skimmed through the content quickly, and he was actually rebuking him for his wolf ambitions.
The emperor was so angry that he coughed up blood even more.
At the same time, in the streets and alleys, countless evidences of the emperor's rebellion against the previous dynasty have been reproduced innumerable, spreading throughout the capital like snowflakes, from the people to the discussion after tea and dinner, to the Huangkou children to make up songs, all about this matter.
With the evidence coming to light, there are also trumped-up charges that Shen Ling's parents were guilty of back then.
The people reacted one after another, the secret matter that had been hidden for more than ten years, when the Shen family was framed for embezzling military salaries and raising eunuchs, was just a wrongful thing in June Feixue.
When the news reached the emperor's ears, he immediately opened his eyes wide, sat up in shock in his dying illness, and went to the study to check without even putting on shoes.
In the secret room in the study, there are traces of someone turning over the evidence that he has carefully stored, and the treasured Xuanbing tree species is missing.
Seeing this, his hands couldn't help shaking, his eyes were closed, his body fell backwards, and he almost fainted.
