Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 142 Heavy Duty
Princess Yong'an is different from other clans. Although she is pampered all day long, she always pays attention to the court situation.

After receiving Xu Wentao's letter, she found Xie Xi anxiously.

The fact that Xie Xi held the Imperial Army surprised many people, even the clan including Princess Yong'an couldn't believe it.

In the old days, when mentioning the fourth son, the emperor always looked disgusted.Unexpectedly, he was given such a heavy responsibility.

Princess Yong'an never gave Xie Xi any good looks in the past, and Xie Xi messed up her Shangsi banquet this year, so she never said bad things about Xie Xi in front of the emperor.

But at this point, for the sake of her son's life and death, Princess Yong'an had no choice but to lower her face and beg her nephew.

Contrary to Princess Yong'an's expectations, Xie Xi immediately entered the palace to ask to see the emperor after seeing the contents of the letter.

"Cousin Tao stated in his letter that since Beidi withdrew, the Northern Border Army has not received any support from Beijing. Luyuan's army has run out of supplies, and is struggling now."

Xie Xi said worriedly: "The commander of the army lives outside, and changes will happen after a long time. The emperor should make a decision early."

The emperor was silent for a while, and said to Cao Shouli: "I regret that I didn't listen to your suggestion. If Cao Lang was sent to supervise the army, why would it be like this now?"

Cao Shouli lowered his head to cover up the smug look on his lips, then raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I will urge the cabinet to prepare the military supplies for the northern border as soon as possible."

"Don't be busy, Liu Qingyuan is not in the cabinet now, even if you urge them, they will not take you seriously."

The emperor continued: "Madam Su said two days ago that there is something wrong with the incense I use on my clothes, how did you find out?"

Cao Shouli said: "The slaves have already checked the Shangyi Supervisor and the Needle Industry Bureau, and found 17 people with problems. According to the clues provided by Miss Lin, there are two people related to His Majesty's poisoning. According to their confession, they brought back a It has been used for six years every time I smoked clothes for His Majesty."

Hearing that the emperor has been targeted for six years, several people in the Qianqing Palace gasped. Xie Xi asked, "Eunuch Cao, did they say where they got the spices from?"

"This servant is still investigating. According to them, the spice they use is not poisonous, and even they use it occasionally. The servant has someone try it, and the spice is indeed not poisonous."

As Cao Shouli said, he couldn't help looking at Lin Zisu who was boiling medicine for the emperor in the corner of the hall. The emperor and Xie Xi also looked at Lin Zisu.

Lin Zisu has been brewing medicine for the emperor in the corner of the hall, but she is also paying attention to the conversations of several people.

She stopped listening to the conversation of several people, turned around and saw the three of them were looking at her, wiped her hands with the towel in her hand calmly, then stepped forward and replied: "The poisoner is very scheming, In the prepared poison, several medicines are non-toxic when taken alone, but when mixed, they become chronic poisons."

"The spice on His Majesty's clothes is called Qingxin Grass. It is the main ingredient of this poison. The method of poisoning is so secretive. The other few herbs are also used in a very secretive manner. Fortunately, now that we have clues, we can follow the clues and find out the truth." We can find the mastermind behind the scenes."

Lin Zisu told Cao Shouli some of the characteristics of Qingxincao, and specially made some other herbs from Ye Yu Qingfeng, and handed them to Cao Shouli.

After Lin Zisu finished her work, Xie Xi salivated and said to the emperor, "Father, I have something to say to Miss Lin alone. I wonder if you can make it easier for me?"

The emperor smiled knowingly, waved his hand, but said nothing.

Xie Xi immediately expressed her gratitude, pointed to the side hall and said, "Susu, let's go over there and say a few words."

Lin Zisu didn't know what Xie Xi had to say to herself, and was a little puzzled by the emperor's expression. Xie Xi urged: "We are so familiar with each other, are you still afraid that I will plot against you?"

As soon as the two of them entered the side hall, Xie Xi smiled and said: "Susu, thank you very much this time. If you hadn't rescued the father, I would have become a fish with a sword."

Lin Zisu would not be polite to him, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, it seems that you and I were just perfunctory when thanking you in the past?"

Xie Xi gave a dry laugh and said, "Since you think so, then I have nothing to say."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Xie Xi finally got down to business: "Your family was implicated in the Luo family's clique formation case, how much do you know?"

Lin Zisu was stunned for a moment, the emperor has been paying attention to the Luo family's clique case, and Cao Shouli has also responded in the past two days.

Luo Xiu's participation not only involved the distribution of power in the court, but also involved the grievances and grievances in the officialdom over the past eight years.

At that time, his father was still working abroad, and his family was involved, which can be said to be a disaster without reason.

Lin Zisu and Xie Xi briefly said what they thought in their hearts, Xie Xi looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "Does your cousin, Qin Yajun, remember?"

Xie Xi suddenly mentioned Qin Yajun. Lin Zisu didn't know what Xie Xi was going to say. She looked at Xie Xi with a pair of beautiful eyes in doubt, only to hear Xie Xi continue: "She is clever, and moved out before your family had an accident. .”

Lin Zisu immediately sensed the unusualness, and asked, "Your Highness means that she has something to do with our family being imprisoned?"

"I met her several times in the restaurant in the past, but I didn't take it seriously. Later, I found out that she is still the seventh lady of the Qin family in Shannan. I didn't expect that this investigation would find out a lot of things."

When Xie Xi talked about Qin Yajun, he was amazed, and then said: "A mere merchant's daughter can get close to my third brother, I really admire it."

Lin Zisu felt that Qin Yajun's background was not that simple, and asked, "She is not a peaceful person. Apart from her identity as a merchant girl, what else has His Highness found out?"

The two talked for nearly half an hour in the side hall, and they didn't stop until the emperor sent someone to urge Xie Xi.

Lin Zisu followed Xie Xi to the emperor's bedroom, and since entering the door, she has noticed that the emperor has been looking at her and smiling.

This smile has often been seen on the emperor's face recently, Lin Zisu was very surprised, and made up his mind to find an opportunity to ask Xie Xi.

The emperor suppressed his smile, and said with Xie Xi seriously: "Little Sier, I asked Cao Shouli to announce the cabinet, you first write a letter to Xu Wentao, so that the Marquis of Chang'an can rest assured, I will never ignore the army in the north. "

Xie Xi took the order to go, Lin Zisu heard that the cabinet was coming, and wanted to avoid it, but the emperor stopped her and said, "Su girl, you don't need to avoid it, I want these old foxes to take a look, you Lin family The position in my heart, let them personally restore your Lin family's innocence."
