Chapter 927: Attitude
Princess Zhaoping's words almost made Xihe's embarrassing situation even more desperate.
But at this time, Empress Dowager Li glanced at Xihe, but she said up: "Since you have this filial piety, you should come." Zhaoping, you haven't had breakfast yet, so let's use it first. β
Princess Zhaoping frowned slightly. After glancing at Xihe, he got up and went out. But anyone who has eyes can see that she is not happy.
Xihe breathed a sigh of relief.
After serving the Empress Dowager Li finished breakfast, Xihe cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and seeing that Princess Zhaoping had not come back, she inadvertently asked: "Who is serving the Queen Mother now?" There was a guy called Izumo beforeβ"
"You can come back this time, and Izumo will also be credited." Empress Dowager Li sighed without waiting for Xihe to finish speaking: "When you were still in front of me, you had a good relationship with Izumo. Now she's repaying you. A few days ago, Izumo fell and injured herself, but she didn't say anything, and when the heat started, someone found out. However, it was a little lateβnow the doctor said that he was afraid that her cough would be too much, so he had to move her out for the time being. β
After a pause, Empress Dowager Li said with some emotion: "She is also a solid-eyed person. I'm like that, but I'm still worried that I, who has no heart to serve, is Baba's mention of you. I don't want to think about it, now that you are a concubine, where can you ......?"
Before the Empress Dowager Li finished speaking, Xihe interrupted the Empress Dowager Li's words: "Whether I am a concubine or something else, my mind towards the Empress Dowager has never changed." I am willing to take care of the Queen Mother's daily life and serve the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, as long as the Queen Mother does not dislike me-"
Xihe said it sadly and sincerely, and Empress Dowager Li looked at Xihe fixedly, and a pair of sharp eyes seemed to have seen through people's hearts.
In the end, Empress Dowager Li smiled slightly: "Although you have this filial piety, I can't let you suffer grievances in vain." I'm glad you can come and talk to me every day. β
After a pause, Empress Dowager Li asked again: "Where do you live now?" How close is it from here? It's raining heavily, aren't you drenched? β
Xihe hesitated for a moment, and finally just smiled: "It's not far away, the concubine Niangniang is all arranged." β
When Yang Yunxi was mentioned, the expression on Empress Dowager Li's face changed suddenly, she looked much more irritable, and her tone was a little impatient: "What do you want her to do?" By the way, you should also go and see the emperor's place, although it is ...... After all, you're back to the palace. β
Xihe looked at Empress Dowager Li's attitude, the corners of his lips relaxed slightly, and his expression was much looser: "Yes, I listen to the Empress Dowager." β
Empress Dowager Li patted Xihe's shoulder, as if she was a little emotional: "You are still obedient." β
Xihe lowered his head slightly, as if he was a little shy.
Princess Zhaoping leaned against the door, watched this scene coldly, and then quietly retreated.
Princess Zhaoping went to see Yang Yunxi.
Yang Yunxi looked at Princess Zhaoping's unhappy appearance, but couldn't help but smile: "What, are you really annoyed?" Why bother? Where is it? I'm angry with you, but I'm going to feel sorry. β
Princess Zhaoping glanced at Yang Yunxi: "You don't worry at all." β
"Worried about what?" Yang Yunxi just smiled lightly, and raised his hand to refill the tea for Princess Zhaoping: "Hengzhi she is back, no matter how worried she is, what should happen will still happen, let's just wait and see." As for the Queen Mother...... You don't have to be annoyed, how many years has the Queen Mother been in the harem? "Can you still be coaxed by Xi and three words to not even want his son's life?
Princess Zhaoping smiled bitterly, I don't know if Yang Yunxi really doesn't understand, or if she doesn't understand: "You don't know how much my mother holds grudges." β
Yang Yunxi shook his head: "Whether you hold a grudge or not, it doesn't really matter." As long as the Queen Mother wants Zhu Qi to live, she will not dare to act rashly and make trouble. β
"You're like those who gamble." Princess Zhaoping frowned, and suddenly felt that she was quite a bit of a eunuch who was not in a hurry. I couldn't help but smile: "That's it, you're not in a hurry, what am I anxious about." β
"Let's just watch." Yang Yunxi smiled, she was really not worried at all, but in fact, if she looked closely, it was not difficult to see that she was also a little sad in her eyes.
However, Xihe knew that he had moved into that small courtyard, but he didn't make any trouble.
Yang Yunxi just sighed at this: "She can bear it." β
An Jing came on time in the afternoon to ask for Ping'an Pulse, and after checking the pulse, he said softly: "The noble concubine Niangniang has been thinking too much recently. β
"It's okay, I'm measured." Yang Yunxi just said this-in fact, even if she didn't think about it, she wouldn't be able to do it at all.
An Jing also knew it, and he couldn't say anything except sighing secretly.
"Speaking of which, I have something I'd like to ask you." Yang Yunxi frowned, and then said: "You all said that the emperor was poisoned." β
An Jing was stunned: "Didn't this matter be confirmed at the time?" β
"But now, I have an idea." Yang Yunxi tapped the desktop with his fingertips, and the sapphire ring on the spring onion-like finger had a faint glow, so pure that it was like the color of the cloudless sky, and it made people feel amazing for no reason. "Could it be, it's not a deadly poison at all, but a ...... Drugs that make you sleepy. β
An Jing was shocked at first, then frowned and pondered, and shook his head for a long time: "Impossible, there is no such medicine in the world." The emperor has been asleep for so long, and there is no medicine in the world that can maintain the effect for such a long time. β
Yang Yunxi naturally knew, but he refused to give up, so he asked again: "Maybe it's not just a drowsy medicine, but a poison that makes people sleepy?" Or, someone has been using a covert method to continue to use such poison for the emperorβ"
An Jing almost subconsciously asked: "Does Niangniang know something?" β
Yang Yunxi shook his head slightly: "I just thought about it carefully, and I put myself in my shoes and thought about some things." β
She assumed that this matter was a plan of Hee Ho from beginning to end.
Would Xihe want Zhu Li to die like this? Naturally, I didn't want it, otherwise I would have used a stronger poison at that time, a poison that sealed my throat with blood. In that case, it would only take a moment for Zhu Li to die.
But Zhu Li did not die. So it can be seen that the poison is not so powerful. It's bothering to assassinate, but it's also using such ineffective poison - what's the point? Unless Zhu Li is assassinated, it is a means, a means to achieve another end.
Then Zhu Li's lethargy may be the result of being consciously planned.
Naturally, this is also her guess, as for whether it will be successful......
