The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

"Is there a secret cell in Dragon Roar Hall? Where is it?"

Shen Jingli looked curious. When she and Chu Beixiaoye stole from the Dragon Roar Palace before, they didn't find any secret prisons.

Qin Yejue pinched her face and said, "Underground."

Shen Jingli nodded slightly.

"Your guess is correct. They are indeed poisoned on the surface of their skin. The toxin has not penetrated into the bones, so you can't diagnose the problem."

Hearing Qin Yejue's confident tone, Shen Jingli asked, "How did you know?"

"The skin on their arms was covered in a spider web that was the same color as their skin."

Seeing Shen Jingli's puzzled expression, he continued, "It's a very light web. It's hard to find without careful observation. I have asked Zhou Gutong to follow these spider webs to investigate. Today, I received his letter..."

Shen Jingli looked anxious, and spoke in a heavier voice: "Have you found out the reason?!"

Qin Yejue saw that Shen Jingli was really excited. He touched her lips and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"certainly!!"

Qin Yejue deliberately didn't say anything. He said jokingly, "Then kiss me. If you make me feel good, I'll tell you."

Shen Jingli snorted and turned his head away. What on earth was he doing?

He was normal just now, but suddenly he turned into a hooligan! !

"Never."

"Then I won't say anything."

"..."

She reached out and grabbed Qin Yejue's collar and shook it, "Now we have something important to do, let's not play kissing for now, just tell me..."

Qin Yejue smiled helplessly and stopped teasing her.

"They have cultivated a group of blood spiders. The breath they exhale is poisonous. These toxins can be spread through the air. Therefore, even if the soldiers wear anti-gas curtains, it will be useless."

"This... this is too scary, right? Will anyone who smells it be poisoned?"

Qin Yejue touched Shen Jingli's slightly frowned brow and said, "Don't worry, they don't dare to poison people on a large scale yet, because there are also people poisoned in the Sang tribe. When they poison, they will accidentally get poisoned, but the number of people poisoned is not as many as ours."

"Presumably, they must have used some antidote beforehand, but as it stands, they can't completely prevent it."

He paused, and then said, "Poisonous spiders are not easy to breed. The Sang tribe cannot breed a large number of blood spiders in a short period of time, so naturally they will not make any big moves. When I come back from Xue Rui Country, I will help you completely solve the problem of the Sang tribe."

Shen Jingli looked up and asked, "Do you also think that the Sang tribe cannot be kept?"

"Not only the Sang tribe, I also want to destroy the Xuerui Kingdom. I want to help you become the overlord who unifies the world."

Shen Jingli was shocked: "Don't be impulsive! I don't have such an idea!!"

Being the emperor of Dayuan already made her very tired, how could she dare to think about being the ruler of the world! !

Qin Yejue held Shen Jingli in his arms and said, "It's late, go to bed."

Shen Jingli nodded, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

……

The next day, Shen Jingli didn't see Qin Yejue anymore. After she left the court, she went to Qianzhong Garden to make medicinal wine.

Now that we know the soldiers were poisoned by spider venom, the scope for trial and error is much smaller. The blood spiders are highly venomous and hidden, so it will take time to create an antidote.

However, she could first prepare some medicinal wine to relieve numbness so that the poisoned soldiers would not feel so uncomfortable.

……

In the afternoon, she came to Longxiao Palace to find Zheyu with the newly made medicinal wine.

As soon as she climbed up one step, the door of the Dragon Roar Hall opened.

Shen Jingli paused. The door was opened so quickly. It was very unusual for it to rain so fast today.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

Shen Jingli was even more shocked. Why was he using honorifics?

Weird! Very weird!!

"Zheyu, have you eaten anything wrong recently?"

Zhe Yu shook his head and bowed: "No, from now on, you are also my master, and I will do whatever you want."

"During the time when Your Majesty is away, if anyone in the palace dares to disrespect you, just tell me and I will be the first to pick up a knife and chop him to death!!"

After Zhe Yu finished speaking, he drew out the sword from his waist, looking eager to try.

Shen Jingli swallowed his saliva: "Don't... don't be impulsive, it's scary."

Zheyu quickly put the knife away and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I was not very tactful with my words."

He whispered again, "I scared you just now, you... won't complain to the prince, right?"

Shen Jingli shook his head.

Zheyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Shen Jingli was a little confused, he didn't ask much. He thought it must be Qin Yejue's order. It was good this way. It would be much more convenient to go to Long Xiao Palace in the future.

"...Then...can you take me to the prison?"

Zheyu suddenly reached out his hand.

Shen Jingli was confused, "Well... actually... I don't think I need anyone to help me walk."

Zhe Yu was shocked: "Who dares to help you?!"

"I mean, I want you to give me what you are holding."

"Huh? Oh..."

Shen Jingli handed the medicinal wine to Zheyu. It’s true, her hands were a little sore from carrying it all the way here.

After Zheyu took it, he walked into the hall, saying as he walked, "Be careful with the steps. Don't blame me if you fall."

Zheyu was always observing Shen Jingli, fearing that he might get hurt. If he was blamed for failing to take good care of him, who knows how he would be punished when the prince returned.

Under the leadership of Zheyu, Shen Jingli came to the secret cell where the soldiers were imprisoned.

As soon as she came in, she was ridiculed by a soldier in a sarcastic tone.

"Third brother, look who's here! Yesterday we made a bet on whether we could live a few more days. It seems that we can't."

As soon as he finished speaking, the third brother hurriedly echoed: "That's right, let's pray to be reborn as a rich and powerful person in the next life. This way, we don't have to go through life and death, and we can also blame our incompetence on others."

The third brother spoke in an unhappy tone and looked at Shen Jingli with a ferocious face.

"He said we were faking illness for no apparent reason. What the emperor meant was... wasn't he saying we were traitors? I'm so unwilling to accept this! But what's the point? Hahaha..."

The third brother's laughter filled the cell. His eyes were slightly moist, and his dissatisfaction was written on his face.

……

Zheyu couldn't stand it anymore. These people actually dared to scold Shen Jingli. Nowadays, scolding the little emperor was equivalent to scolding the prince.

He was the first to speak and scold: "Do you want to die? Stop chattering. Do you think you can scold the emperor?!"

"Come on, I'll die!"

"It's worse than death here, you might as well just kill me!"

"That's right, what's the point of living like this?!"

……

The soldiers were emotional, venting their inner distress one after another, and their rationality had long since disappeared.

Since being locked up in this dark dungeon, every second has been uneasy.

They were unwilling and anxious, and had already lost all hope. It would be better to sentence them to death than to live in such a miserable state.

Shen Jingli comforted them, "I know you are innocent. You can bear with it for a while. When the time is right, I will definitely give you justice."
