It turned out that when Pei Yu told about the elixir in the tomb that could bring the dead back to life, she already had an idea in her mind.
Has she still not passed that hurdle in her heart
Wen Qingzhu slowly pushed Fu Lie away and said with a forced smile: "You are too worried. I know that there is no real magic pill to bring the dead back to life in this world."
Looking at her pale smile, Fu Lie felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything, turned around and left Zhuangzi with Wen Qingzhu.
When he returned home, Wen Qingzhu felt very tired, so he went to sleep.
I closed my eyes for a long time, but I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Near midnight, the door was gently pushed open, and familiar footsteps came quietly.
Wen Qingzhu breathed steadily and felt a hand fall on his forehead.
Not long after, the person in front of the bed left quietly again.
When the room was completely quiet, Wen Qingzhu slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were completely dark.
Looking sideways, there was a light outside the curtain, reflecting a thin figure.
Time passed little by little, and the morning light shone in through the glass window.
The figure who had been sitting finally stood up, turned around and opened the curtain and came in.
He didn't want to see Wen Qingzhu sitting on the bed with his knees in his arms.
"Princess, you haven't slept all night?" Lu Tao looked back at the door. The regent had just arrived.
Wen Qingzhu took off his shoes and sat directly in front of the dressing mirror: "Help me freshen up, I have to meet someone."
Half an hour later, a carriage quietly left from the back door.
Leave the city all the way to a villa in Lingyun Mountain.
Lu Tao got out of the car, handed over the post, and turned to ask the coachman to lead the carriage inside.
After the door closed, Wen Qingzhu opened the curtain and felt better when he saw the spring flowers filling the yard.
After she got off the car, the steward quickly asked her to sit down in the flower hall.
He ordered his servants to serve tea, and then sent someone to invite the Lord Pingshu to come over.
It was almost noon when Liang Pingshu came in a hurry.
Entering the house in a dusty state, he saw Wen Qingzhu asking the maids to put lunch on the table.
She walked over quickly and looked at Wen Qingzhu carefully: "Are you okay?"
Wen Qingzhu pulled her to sit down and explained: "The poison has not been completely detoxified, so you don't have to worry. I invited you here today because I want to ask you about the eldest prince Xianbei."
Speaking of this person, Liang Pingshu's face suddenly darkened: "If I weren't worried about damaging the relationship between the two countries, I would really want to kill him with a sword!"
"You don't have to worry so much. If you want to kill people, you don't have to do it yourself." Wen Qingzhu agreed with her idea.
When Liang Pingshu heard this, her tongue was almost tied: "Do you really want to kill him?"
Putting a bowl of soup in front of her, Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "Why can't you kill him? He's just the eldest prince of Xianbei, not the Khan of Xianbei. Besides, there are so many princes in Xianbei. If a fool dies, Xianbei won't do anything. care."
"No, no, Xianbei asked to marry our Qi princess, didn't he just want to avoid fighting?" Liang Pingshu didn't react at once.
Wen Qingzhu picked up his chopsticks and picked out a piece of venison. After eating, he said, "Didn't Bu Liugu agree to ruin the eldest prince's marriage? He has stayed in Qi for too long, and he dared to attack Mrs. Sulu. Bu Liugu has already become murderous, and since there is no one to protect him, it is just a matter of course for us to kill him."
That's it, but the situation in the capital is not that complicated.
Liang Pingshu hesitated to speak, but Wen Qingzhu took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, on the Emperor's side, Pei Yi and General Ruan are not here, Fu Lie can still be restrained."
With this tone, Jiang Yuanhan was completely ignored.
After a long silence, Liang Pingshu finally made up her mind: "What do you want to do?"
After taking a sip of the soup, Wen Qingzhu put down the soup bowl and said with cold eyes: "Of course I will use the trick."
When I returned to the mansion, the moon was already rising above the willow trees.
As soon as they walked onto the corridor, Xi'er greeted her: "Princess, Dr. Gao is here."
Wen Qingzhu nodded to express his understanding and followed Xi'er back to Luoying Pavilion.
When you walk into the room, you are greeted by warmth.
Lu Tao followed her, raised his hand to untie her cloak, turned around and closed the door again.
He turned around and put away his cloak, then went to Wen Qingzhu's side, made a pot of tea, and waited aside.
Picking up the tea cup, a warmth spread throughout his body. Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at Angelica beside him: "Do you have any clues here?"
"Yes." Angelica took out an ancient medical book and handed it to Wen Qingzhu and said, "This is the medical book I found from the Hall of Creation. It records a poison called Lost Soul."
Wen Qingzhu took the medical book, opened the marked page, and carefully read the record about lost souls.
The book says that a sufficient amount of lost souls will make people unable to sleep for a long time and will not be fatal.
A small amount of lost soul can make people drowsy and lose their appetite.
The source of this Lost Soul Poison is a medicinal herb that grows at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. When combined with other medicinal materials, it can be made into a top-notch soothing incense.
Seeing this, Wen Qingzhu understood that the top-quality Anshen Incense would definitely be brought to the palace as tribute.
"Princess, there is a certain quantity of this kind of soothing incense sent as tribute from the northwest. I have already asked the medicine warehouse and they said that the emperor ordered people to send all the soothing incense there."
Angelica's words stopped abruptly. There is no need to investigate who poisoned her.
Wen Qingzhu looked at his serious look, raised his hand to pick up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I woke up on the third day and knew it was the emperor who poisoned me."
"Then Princess..." She also asked the emperor to investigate this case! Angelica didn't understand her intention.
Putting down the teacup, Wen Qingzhu met his gaze: "Danggui, you also grew up in the palace, can't you tell?"
Angelica's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and finally she suddenly stood up with a horrified look on her face: "The person the emperor wants to deal with is the regent!"
He looked at Wen Qingzhu in disbelief, still unable to understand: "The Regent pacified Youzhou and Ganzhou, got rid of the Wu tribe, and severely damaged the Xiongnu. Why is the Emperor such a meritorious minister—"
Halfway through the words, Angelica seemed to understand, and sat down again dejectedly: "Does your great work shock the emperor? But the regent is not that kind of person at all! The emperor is still young now, and even Pei Yi can turn the capital upside down. If the regent is …”
Turning to look at Wen Qingzhu, she looked calm and seemed to know everything.
Angelica's reaction was basically what she expected. Wen Qingzhu looked at him seriously and asked: "The emperor has gone astray. I want the emperor to go on the right path. Are you willing to help me?"
"How can I help you?" Angelica is extremely talented in medical skills, but when it comes to the weird things happening in the court, he is always far behind, even though he grew up in the palace.
Wen Qingzhu turned around, opened the drawer of the table next to him, took out a dagger from it, and pushed it in front of Angelica: "Find a way to kill the queen! Don't have any scruples!"
"Kill, kill the queen?!" Angelica couldn't sit still anymore, her eyes kept wandering between Wen Qingzhu and the dagger on the table.
As the sky dawned, Xi'er followed Wen Qingzhu's instructions and invited Jin Yuanbao over.
"I see the Princess Regent!" Jin Yuanbao's temperament was much calmer than last year, and it wasn't just as simple as growing a beard.
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand, Jin Yuanbao stood up, and Xi'er asked him to take the first seat.
Not wanting him to refuse politely, he looked directly at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "There are many things to do at the Yushitai, so I won't stay here any longer. If the princess has anything to say, just ask."
"Xi'er is here, but you don't want to stay." Wen Qingzhu deliberately teased.
Jin Yuanbao said with a straight face: "Business matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. I hope the princess will not get confused."
Xi'er sighed calmly, while Wen Qingzhu just shook his head slightly.
After a moment of silence, she said: "Three of the four maids around me are married, and Xi'er is still with me. Although she is not very old, she is still over 20 years old. It is not okay to stay here any longer. , Does Mr. Jin have any plans here?"
"Chen..." It's not that Jin Yuanbao has no plans, but the current situation in the capital does not allow him to deal with his own personal affairs.
After hesitating for a while, he made a decision: "Princess! Now is not the time to talk about marriage."
These words made Wen Qingzhu's face turn cold, and his tone became a little distant: "Then when does Mr. Jin think we can talk about marriage?"
Wen Qingzhu could easily guess Jin Yuanbao's thoughts. In his heart, political affairs were always before Xi'er.
She is not the kind of unreasonable person. What she wants to win for Xi'er is just a promise from his gold ingot.
Knowing that Jin Yuanbao was stubborn, Wen Qingzhu added one more thing: "I don't want you to marry Xi'er right away. I just want to get an accurate answer, will you marry her?"
Jin Yuanbao took a deep breath and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry!"
With a bang, Wen Qingzhu slapped the table hard, his expression extremely ugly.
Seeing this, Xi'er quickly explained: "Princess, he is a man of great promise. Now that the capital is in turmoil, Mr. Lei from Yushitai can't even protect the Lei family, let alone him who has no background."
At this point, Xi'er's eyes turned red and she couldn't help but choked up: "He doesn't want to implicate me. If anything happens to him, all the support from the elders in my hometown will fall on me. He just doesn't want to implicate me." !”
With a pop, Xi'er knelt on the ground: "Princess, don't force him! His mentor died because of him. He knew Master Lei was innocent, but he couldn't disobey the emperor's order. He still imprisoned Master Lei himself. He has already implicated too many people." There are many people, he just, he just doesn’t want to implicate me.”
Jin Yuanbao still bowed and did not stand up straight, but his body was already trembling.
I don't know if it was because I kept this posture for too long, or if I was reacting to Xi'er's words.
Lu Tao, who was waiting by the side, was deeply touched. She knew that Wen Qingzhu would not embarrass Jin Yuanbao, but when she saw Xi'er crying, she still said: "Princess, please wait a little longer. We are all the same as Mr. Jin." Know."
Wen Qingzhu took a long breath and held his forehead with one hand: "That's all."
"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!" Xi'er stood up quickly and straightened the gold ingot.
She lifted Jin Yuanbao's wrist, and she could clearly feel that Jin Yuanbao was scared.
Wen Qingzhu looked at their intimate appearance and thought that Jin Yuanbao had taken good care of Xi'er during his absence.
In this case, Wen Qingzhu naturally would not make things more difficult, so he asked Jin Yuanbao to sit down.
Not wanting Jin Yuanbao to refuse, Xi'er quickly pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
After he sat down, Wen Qingzhu got down to business: "I got news here that someone in the palace seems to want to murder the queen. Has Mr. Jin ever heard of similar rumors?"
As soon as these words came out, Xi'er and Lu Tao opened their eyes wide at the same time, with different thoughts.
"Someone in the palace plotted to kill the queen?" Jin Yuanbao frowned, "Theoretically, this matter should not be handled by the Yushitai, but the queen comes from the Wei family, so it is not difficult to guarantee that the person behind it is targeting the Wei family."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and replied: "This is unknown for the time being, but when the queen was not the queen, her life was in danger several times. Although the murderer was later found out, there are only a few people with such power in the palace now. indivual."
"The princess knows who wants to murder the queen?" Jin Yuanbao's eyes were solemn.
It seems that Jin Yuanbao is getting more and more accustomed to the capital. Wen Qingzhu said in an unclear manner: "I don't know, I just have reasonable doubts. To confirm, I need evidence."
These words played right into Jin Yuanbao's mind, leaving him unable to find anything wrong.
