Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight
Chapter 54 Qiao Xi finally reacted
Qiao Xi, who had just arrived at Xu's house, sneezed.
Xu An asked, "But I caught a cold on the way here. Do you want to see a doctor?"
Qiao Xi came to see the doctor, and nodded, "Let's go, take me to see Laibajiao."
Xu An glanced at the sun which was not yet at noon and whispered, "That person hasn't gotten up yet. He sleeps until noon every day, otherwise he would be very irritable."
He was also extremely unkempt, with a head of messy hair that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, and a face so grimy that you couldn't tell what he looked like originally.
Let him go and wash, but he still refused to do so and said that if you force him again, he would go back.
If it weren't for the strong smell of herbs on his body, he would really suspect that he was not a doctor, but a beggar on the street.
Qiao Xi said calmly, "Don't be afraid."
It was Qiao Xi who specifically asked to see Laibajiao. Xu An assumed that Qiao Xi knew him, so he took her there without thinking too much.
Qiao Xi kicked the door open and walked to the bed. "Get up. I'll treat you to grilled fish. It's Zhi Niang's brand."
The person on the bed was disturbed from his sweet dream and was about to lose his temper. Upon hearing this, he immediately jumped up from the bed and looked Qiao Xi up and down, "Who are you?"
Qiao Xi didn't answer, but turned and walked out. "If you want to know, get up. There's no time to wait. Stuff the fish with scallions, add salt, dogwood, and rice wine, and roast it on a stone until both sides are golden brown..."
"How do you know this?"
Laibajiao put on his clothes hastily and followed Qiao Xi, "You know Zhi Niang? No, you are not the right age.
Or do you know me? That's not right. I've never told anyone about Zhi Niang's method of grilling fish. Who are you?"
No matter how he asked, Qiao Xi didn't answer. She asked Xu An to prepare two horses and she jumped on one of them.
"Hey, where are you going? Tell me clearly." The barefoot man became anxious and quickly got on another horse.
Qiao Xi whipped his horse and rode away, and the people behind him followed him cursing.
Xu An rubbed his head and asked the two guards who had gone to look for the barefoot man, "Didn't you say he couldn't ride a horse?"
The two guards were bewildered. "He said he couldn't do it and was afraid of falling. So we found a carriage for him to ride in, but he got dizzy when the carriage went a little faster."
Later they encountered a bumpy road. He said he was very carsick and refused to move. It was only when the two of them took turns carrying him that they finally brought him back.
Therefore, it took so long to reach Liangzhou even though it was not far away.
Now looking at the skillful posture of mounting the horse, the two guards looked at each other.
At the same time, I cursed in my heart, what the hell!
I'm deliberately making trouble for them.
One of them said, "Master Ba has a solution."
The Eighth Master Qiao Xi he mentioned went all the way into the mountains, stopped his horse by a lake, and used all his strength to slap the lake, and several fat fish were slapped onto the shore.
Qiao Xi glanced at Laibajiao and asked, "Are you responsible for handling the fish or setting up the stove?"
"Build a stove."
Lai Chijiao replied subconsciously.
Zhi Niang said that the stove he built was beautiful and sturdy, and she grew up by the water and was best at catching fish.
He asked all the way but got nothing out of it, so he knew that the other party would not speak easily, so he could only cooperate for the time being.
Qiao Xi nodded, pulled out a dagger from her waist, and cut the fish neatly. Before she finished cutting the barefoot fish, she used her lightness skills to go into the mountains to find some seasonings and a flat stone slab.
After washing the stone slab and placing it on the stove in the barefoot tower, Qiao Xi lit the fire.
As the fish sizzled on the stone slab, Barefoot spoke again, "What on earth are you trying to achieve by being so mysterious?"
Qiao Xi turned the fish over, untied the kettle of rice wine from her waist, and poured some onto the stone slab, filling the air with fragrance.
Bald Foot couldn't help but sniff, a familiar smell.
I became even more curious about Qiao Xi's background.
Qiao Xi said slowly, "Zhi Niang said that it doesn't matter if your hand is broken and you can't practice medicine, she has a great skill in grilling fish and can support you and the child.
But Princess Lanhui didn't give her a chance. She let a group of homeless people rape Zhi Niang and left her naked outside your shop which had not yet opened.
Because she took a fancy to you and wanted you to marry into her family, but you refused, she secretly had someone pretend to be a patient, criticized your poor medical skills, and broke your hands.
She thought that if she humiliated you in the mud and then showed you kindness, you would abandon your wife and bow to her.
But she underestimated your feelings for Zhi Niang, and even more underestimated Zhi Niang's tenacity. Zhi Niang did not give up on you just because you could no longer practice medicine.
So, Princess Lan Hui turned around and attacked Zhi Niang, and Zhi Niang died without any dignity.
But Lan Hui made you her son-in-law as she wished.
She doesn't know that you agreed to marry her for revenge, and your daughter with Zhi Niang also doesn't know this.
She thought you had forgotten Zhi Niang and bowed to the powerful, so the six-year-old child hid a pair of scissors and assassinated Princess Lan Hui.
Murdering a member of the royal family is a serious crime, and children are no exception. Princess Lan Hui only had a scratch on her arm, but your daughter was imprisoned and eventually died in prison."
"Why are you telling me these wishes?"
Lai Chijiao could no longer remain calm. He stared at Qiao Xi. There were some things he had never told anyone. How did this woman know them?
He reached out to grab Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi easily dodged him.
He tried to poison Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi seemed to have anticipated it and easily avoided it.
"You coaxed Princess Lan Hui out for a trip, then dismembered her and fed her to the fish in the lake. You avenged Zhi Niang and your daughter, then hid in Zhi Niang's hometown, never to reveal your true identity again.
Qiao Xi continued, "You don't know that your daughter didn't die back then, and may still be alive now."
Laibajiao paused, his eyes filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, "Are you serious?"
Qiao Xi nodded, "I have no ill intentions, but I have a request. Cao Ying, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, likes to study poisons.
To make poison, you need a poison tester. Princess Lan Hui and Cao Ying have a private friendship, so she gave your daughter to Cao Ying.
But I don’t know where she is now, but I can tell you that the child escaped from Cao Ying five years ago.”
The story about Zhi Niang was told to her by Lai Chijiao in her previous life, and she also promised to help him find his daughter.
Later, she traced the clues provided by Lai Chijiao to Cao Ying, but at that time she thought Cao Ying had done all this without telling the emperor.
"How can I trust you?"
Laibajiao looked at Qiao Xi warily, "What do you want?"
Qiao Xi took out a piece of paper from her bosom and said, "This is the poison developed by Cao Ying to help the emperor control the hidden factory. I know you can detoxify it."
Lai Chijiao took the prescription suspiciously and looked at it. His expression changed immediately and he began to believe what Qiao Xi said a little more.
Because this prescription was basically a modification of his prescription. Poison doesn't just harm people, sometimes it can also heal people. He is also good at using poisons while practicing medicine.
His daughter has been smart since she was young and loves to stick to him. She knows many of his prescriptions by heart.
It is very likely that Cao Ying got this prescription from his daughter, which means that his daughter was indeed in Cao Ying's hands.
But there is another possibility, that is, my daughter is in the hands of the person in front of me.
He asked, "I can develop an antidote for you, what can you do for me?"
Qiao Xi handed him a grilled fish, picked up one herself and took a bite, "I'll help you find your daughter."
This was a promise made in her previous life, and she must fulfill it in this life.
"What if you can't find it?"
The disheveled man suddenly looked sharp.
Qiao Xi stretched out her hand towards him, “I’m not the one who was poisoned, and I only wanted this antidote to recruit a few people for my own use.
As the suspect in the murder of Princess Lan Hui, you've been hiding for years. Even if you knew your daughter was still alive, it would be difficult for you to find her. Only I can help you."
Laibajiao took Qiao Xi's pulse without hesitation, frowning a few times, "Although you haven't been poisoned, your condition isn't much better."
Qiao Xi took another bite of the fish, looking unconcerned.
"You don't want to be cured?"
It was Lai Chijiao who lost his balance first.
People who are obsessed with medicine are always particularly interested in difficult and complicated diseases.
Qiao Xi still had little interest and ate the fish slowly. Then she heard Lai Chijiao say, "You were drugged two days ago, and you're not interested?"
"You can even see this?" Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows.
Speaking of medical skills, Laibajiao was quite proud. "Taking advantage of a person's confusion and hallucination to get their true feelings, I despise this low-level stuff, but I can solve it."
Qiao Xi's chewing movements gradually slowed down.
Su Heting drugged her to get her to tell the truth?
All she thought about was revenge, the Qiao family, and the Crown Prince.
After hearing these words, Su Heting was not angry at all. Instead, he wanted to give all of Ji Chuan's territory to her, and even let her have control over the Jiangbei Palace.
Wasn't he most averse to her mentioning other men? He had always quarreled with her before, so why wasn't he jealous this time? He was so generous and helped her put on a show for the emperor?
Lai Chijiao didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that she ignored him, he took out the kettle she had thrown aside.
He muttered, "Mother Zhi said that the more rice wine you add to this grilled fish, the more delicious it will be."
As he spoke, he poured a lot of rice wine onto the stone slab. The wine flowed down the stone slab onto the firewood, and the flames shot up high.
Qiao Xi suddenly recalled Su Heting's dazed look in the fire that day, Liang Shi's burned wrist, Su Heting's inexplicable forced marriage, and his fluctuating attitude towards her...
Also, there was no such person as Su Heting in her previous life. At that time, she only wondered whether he was reincarnated like herself, but she didn't think much about anything else.
just in case……
just in case……
just in case……
Qiao Xiteng stood up suddenly.
