The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Qin Yejue tucked the loose hair on Shen Jingli's forehead behind his ears and said, "Look how anxious you are."

Qian Mangui came back at this time, he must have made some new discoveries. Shen Jingli suddenly felt that the delicious food on the table had lost its color.

"Urgent, urgent, urgent, it's urgent, let Brother Qian in."

Seeing Shen Jingli put down her chopsticks with an anxious look on her face, Qin Yejue pinched her cheek and said, "Li'er, continue eating. I'll let them in after you finish eating..."

She shook her head and stopped eating.

"Let's not eat anymore. Let's go sit on the sandalwood bench and chat." Shen Jingli had already stood up.

"Don't worry."

"Let's go." She pulled Qin Yejue's sleeve and sat down on the bench.

Seeing this, Qin Yejue let them in.

……

When Shen Jingli saw Qian Mangui and Qiu Zhi, he was overjoyed: "Brother Qian, Lord Qiu, you are finally back."

The two of them nodded with a smile and walked towards them.

She added: "Strange thought..."

Hearing the taboo words, Qian Mangui's pupils suddenly dilated, and he interrupted Shen Jingli in time: "I understand! Everything is self-explanatory!!"

"As long as you understand...come and sit down."

Their conversation confused Qiu Zhi. He rolled his eyes and whispered in Qian Mangui's ear, "I don't think I really understand."

He glared at Qiu Zhi unhappily: "Don't ask around, it won't do you any good."

"Oh." He said embarrassedly.

Qian Mangui told Qiu Zhi in advance that he did not need to pay respect to the Regent while in Xixu City, but only needed to be careful with his words and actions.

Qiu Zhi agreed immediately when he came, but when he saw Shen Jingli, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you doing well?"

Shen Jingli thought it was just a simple greeting, so she replied, "Very good."

Qiu Zhi naturally didn't believe it. The difference in their body shapes was too great. Master Shen was a thin and weak man, not to mention...

He looks different when he puts on women's clothes!!

When he spoke... Mr. Shen's eyes would unconsciously bend into a crescent shape, giving people the feeling that he was easy to get along with and had a gentle personality.

On the other hand, the Regent had a cold and chilly aura lingering all over his body. He was extremely oppressive, and his aura was extremely strong and overbearing.

He looked as if he was keeping people at a distance.

When he and Master Shen collided, it was obvious who would suffer.

Qiu Zhi frowned and said seriously: "Mr. Shen, have you ever heard such a saying?"

Shen Jingli: "Tell me about it."

"As the saying goes, only by knowing how to be moderate can you last long..."

As soon as these words were spoken, a security alarm sounded in Qian Mangui's mind. He kicked Qiu Zhi over and he sat steadily on the chair.

"I…"

Before he could finish his words, Qian Mangui interrupted him. He lowered his voice and said, "Shut up! Qian speaks first..."

"If you really don't want to live, just tell them these words alone, don't bring me along... Thank you!!"

After Qian Mangui finished speaking, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

His life was like walking on thin ice...

"No more, no more." Qiu Zhi also realized that his words were presumptuous and quickly shut up.

……

Seeing that the two had already sat down opposite him, Shen Jingli couldn't wait to ask: "Did you find out anything during your visit to the Sang tribe this time!?"

Qian Mangui: "We have confirmed two things. First, Xue Rui will regularly provide blood spiders to the Sang tribe. However... the Sang tribe does not get much toxin, and the Sang tribe leader has been urging Xue Rui to get more doses."

"Second, the Sang tribe and the Xuerui Kingdom have only one elderly minister who opposes the cooperation. They are weak and isolated without any help."

Qin Yejue asked: "What is his relationship with the chief of the Sang tribe?"

"The clan leader's mentor is called A Lu Shen. He has a high title, but no real power. The other ministers in the clan are busy flattering him, but he is the only one who tries hard to persuade him."

Shen Jingli pondered, "Why is A Lushen so determined to oppose this? Did he discover something?"

"He advised his superiors every day, saying that the Sang people and the Xuerui nation have been feuding for generations, and this feud cannot be resolved."

Qian Mangui stroked his beard and continued, "He also said... the Snow Country girl must have bad intentions in approaching the clan leader. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind her offering poison."

"However... A Lu Shen was just guessing and had no evidence. The Sang tribe leader felt that... the spider venom was effective and he was unwilling to lose this opportunity to cooperate with the Xue Rui Nation."

"After a long time, Alu Shen's admonitions only made the clan leader feel upset. In a rage, he ordered Alu Shen to reflect on his mistakes at home and not to participate in clan affairs."

After hearing this, Shen Jingli leaned back in her chair and chuckled, "Very good."

Now, she has the antidote in her hand, so it shouldn't be difficult to create some misunderstanding.

……

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qiu Zhi coughed and said, "Mr. Shen, do you still remember the wild man who was with Xinxin?!"

Shen Jingli choked. Why did Lord Qiu suddenly mention him? Wasn't this man in jail?

She laughed dryly: "I have some impression... but not very deep."

Qiu Zhi's eyes widened, and he said anxiously: "I saw someone exactly like him in the Sang tribe! Although I only took a quick glance, I am sure it must be him!"

I had a chance to be with Xinxin until the end, but this man showed up and took away the love that originally belonged to him!!

Even if this person turned into ashes, Qiu Zhi would recognize him! !

Shen Jingli was puzzled and said, "No way, he evaded taxes, and he should still be in prison. How could he appear in the Sang tribe?"

Qian Mangui asked him: "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Qiu Zhi retorted: "It's impossible to be mistaken! Mr. Shen, we have all seen him. If you don't believe it, we can go to the Sang tribe again. It's really exactly the same!!"

Shen Jingli saw that Qiu Zhi was speaking clearly and logically, and she began to have doubts in her heart, so she asked, "Where did you see this person?"

Qian Mangui: "In A-Lu-Shen's house."

Shen Jingli suddenly became interested. Now, she was full of curiosity about this A Lushen.

"After being reprimanded and sent home to reflect on his mistakes, did A-Lu-Shen behave in any unusual way?"

Qian Mangui's eyes darkened, and he said slowly, "He has no time to spare. He spends a lot of time every day keeping a close eye on our military camp."

Shen Jingli: "Oh? Staring at him every day?"

Qian Mangui nodded: "Yes, A Lushen started to wait and see before dawn. He always leaves in the afternoon. The time is irregular and the time he leaves is different every time."

After hearing this, Shen Jingli and Qin Yejue looked at each other.

……

Shen Jingli's eyes flickered slightly and his expression was solemn.

She had heard from Gu Sichen before that the soldiers who were poisoned the previous day would be sent back to Beijing early every morning.

The time of returning to the capital was not fixed. Alushen arrived before dawn and left in the afternoon.

Shen Jingli said thoughtfully: "Qin Yejue, is A Lushen investigating... whether the number of people poisoned matches the actual dosage of poison they used?!"
