Chapter 385: Bloodthirsty
In the evening, Yunfeng Mountain.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinxi sighed silently in her heart...
Then he came back to his senses, looked at Ye Qing with a smile, and said, "Well, I see. For Eunuch Cao to be able to explain so honestly, the old gentleman must have spent a lot of time talking."

"Let me guess. That's what the old gentleman should have told him. The old gentleman was able to enter the palace thanks to Nangong Chu. In principle, you are actually on the same boat. It is naturally impossible for the old gentleman to report to the Apocalypse Court. He. But if he refuses to tell the truth, the old man can let Nangong Chu know about it. Knowing that Nangong Chu secretly arranged for him to enter the palace, it will be useful in the future, but he did not hide it and exposed it. I won't let him go lightly. And Eunuch Cao is also worried about being blamed by Nangong Chu, so he cooperates with the old gentleman like this. "

"The old gentleman has known Nangong Chu for many years. Nangong Chu knew the old gentleman, so he took advantage of the old gentleman's regrets and arranged the marriage of Princess Mei. The old gentleman also knew Nangong Chu, so he knew how to handle Eunuch Cao!"

"I think Eunuch Cao was definitely not the only one who arranged to enter the palace through Concubine Mei. And each of them was desperately trying to gain Nangong Chu's trust. Now Eunuch Cao himself has been exposed. If Nangong Chu knows about this matter, I'm afraid , Eunuch Cao will be abandoned. Old sir, am I right?"

"Ha...ha..." Ye Qing said with a smile: "Miss Xiao is really powerful. It seems that nothing can be hidden from Miss Xiao. Yes, this is how I threatened him. As for Eunuch Cao, It was also because he was afraid of being abandoned by Nangong Chu that he told him frankly. "

Xiao Jinxi smiled in her eyes and said very cooperatively: "The old gentleman is really amazing! How come I only met such a talent like the old gentleman today? If I had met him earlier, I would have woken up early and wouldn't have been blinded by love. Sad and hurtful.”

"Ha..." Ye Qing laughed proudly for a moment. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his laughter stopped. For a moment, he squinted and said, "Miss Xiao is overly praised. Even without me, if It's only a matter of time for a smart person like Miss Xiao to wake up. It's Murong Xuan's loss. No, Murong Xuan lost today. "

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing meaningfully, "That's good, he's starting to lose his arrogance." Are you starting to be cautious? Or is he starting to wake up from his addiction to Gu books? No, or maybe you're scared? The key point is Eunuch Cao!
Xiao Jinxi continued to smile and praise: "No, without the help of the old gentleman today, I still wouldn't be able to really see Murong Xuan clearly. The old gentleman deserves a lot of credit."

Ye Qing responded with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say. Since we want to cooperate with Miss Xiao, I still have to help with this little thing."

Again, Murong Xuan spent so much time and effort on the old man, but achieved nothing! It even made Ye Qing's cruelty tinged with deep reluctance!

Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing meaningfully, a sudden idea brewing...
Ye Qing, on the other hand, felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Xiao Jinxi. In addition, the scene that suddenly appeared in his mind just now also made Ye Qing confused... and worried... Could it be possible... Sigh... ·I knew I shouldn’t have mentioned Eunuch Cao!

The northern border is different from the western border. The northern border is relatively far from the imperial capital of Tianqi. It would take some time for the Dai Viet imperial court to send people to Tianqi to attend the funeral. Therefore, Meier's funeral was also extended accordingly, so the Shangshi Bureau had to change the sacrifices regularly. . On that day, Eunuch Cao took several eunuchs to deliver these sacrifices to the mourning hall. That's when I saw him, and I was completely shocked. "

However, before Ye Qing could say anything else, Xiao Jinxi's voice had already sounded: "Old sir, where did you meet and have a showdown with Eunuch Cao? Oh, no, or should I ask, what happened between you and Eunuch Cao? Murong Xuan must have heard the conversation, right?"

"Oh..." Xiao Jinxi asked with a smile: "Mr., are you so sure?"

Xiao Jinxi's voice sounded: "No hurry, just wait."

Ye Qing's voice continued: "Since Miss Xiao is so satisfied, should the second part of the Gu book be given to me now?"

"Ha...ha..." Ye Qing's resentment and unwillingness were instantly given an outlet, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Miss Xiao is really happy! Okay, we've settled on that."

Ye Qing hesitated for a moment and finally said: "

Ye Qing responded: "Because when Eunuch Cao delivered the things, I happened to go to the mourning hall from my residence. I saw the eunuch from a distance, but I felt like I had seen him before. Then I heard the palace maid who received the sacrifice asked, how are you doing today? He would bother Eunuch Cao to deliver the sacrifices. Eunuch Cao replied that the prince had just felt sick and could not come, so he came to help deliver the sacrifices. Then, when the little eunuch and the maid were delivering the sacrifices into the mourning hall, Eunuch Cao unexpectedly He also helped carry a plate of fish inside. When the palace maid saw it, she exclaimed, "Why do you have the nerve to trouble Eunuch Cao to do these things again? You can just let the people below do these small things. Who would have thought that Eunuch Cao actually said that he would just come?" It’s not easy to shape the fish, so it needs to be placed carefully. After saying that, I saw Eunuch Cao carrying the fish into the mourning hall."

Ye Qing's face darkened and he looked unhappy: "Miss Xiao, stop making random guesses. What could possibly happen between Murong Xuan and Eunuch Cao!"

Hearing this, Ye Qing was stunned and a little embarrassed, but he still said: "I heard from Eunuch Cao that the condition for Concubine Mei's willingness to cooperate with Nangong Chu was that the Sixth Prince was not allowed to be involved. And Eunuch Cao also said, Mei'er protects the Sixth Prince closely and will avoid him in any situation. In this case, there are so many eunuchs in the palace, how can Murong Xuan know Eunuch Cao in particular."

At this moment, Ye Qing's smile was obviously fading, and this scene fell into Xiao Jinxi's eyes.

"Yeah..." Xiao Jinxi acquiesced. Concubine Mei wanted to find an opportunity to take Murong Xuan away from the royal family, so it was understandable that she didn't want the Sixth Prince to be involved in Nangong Chu's affairs.

"Old sir, I can't bear to say that Murong Xuan deceived me. That's why I spent so much effort to secretly investigate him. Is a man as talented as the old gentleman really willing to be used like this?"

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said: "I see. How did the old gentleman see the special relationship between Eunuch Cao and Concubine Mei?"

Xiao Jinxi looked at this unhappiness in her eyes, but turned a blind eye and said with a smile: "Old sir, you seemed to have thought of something just now. Why don't we talk about it first."

Hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes lit up, he smiled evilly, and asked curiously: "Oh, how does Miss Xiao plan to help me express such a tone?"

Ye Qing's face became even darker, and he was so worried that he forgot to retort for a moment.

Ye Qing's eyes flashed with displeasure after being rejected, but then he asked with a smile: "Okay, what else does Miss Xiao want to know?"

Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing with a smile. Ye Qing had said so much. Instead of saying that Ye Qing was convincing her, in her opinion, Ye Qing at this moment seemed more like he was convincing himself. The breakthrough back then may have been here!

Looking at this scene, Xiao Jinxi was very satisfied in her heart and continued: "Old sir, when we find out about this matter, if we find that Murong Xuan really took advantage of you, I will definitely give the old gentleman a chance to take advantage of this." Yes. What do you think, sir?"

Ye Qing still said: "After Mei'er left, Murong Xuan was still young and was alone in the palace with no power. Nangong Chu didn't look down on him at all. If it weren't for the blood jade that I pulled, Nangong Chu will not consider Murong Xuan at all. In this case, how could Eunuch Cao go to Murong Xuan privately without Nangong Chu's consent."

"The moment Eunuch Cao raised his head, he happened to see me at the door. At that moment, there was shock in Eunuch Cao's eyes. Although it flashed by, I could see it clearly. At that moment, I was sure that this Cao Eunuch was My father-in-law has a special relationship with Meier, so he secretly stopped Eunuch Cao and asked him to meet. "

Ye Qing's face darkened, and he seemed determined but said anxiously: "Impossible! Back then, I specially led Eunuch Cao to a remote corner. Murong Xuan was still guarding the mourning hall at that time, how could I possibly know!"

"At that time, I was also curious about who that person was? Why did he feel familiar? So he hurriedly walked into the mourning hall. As soon as he entered the mourning hall, he saw Eunuch Cao placing the fish and then starting to arrange for others to place the sacrifices. In the process, Eunuch Cao His figure was moving in and out of the mourning hall, and finally, when I walked close to the coffin, I saw Eunuch Cao's eyes looking into the coffin. I looked closely and finally understood why it seemed so familiar. This Eunuch Cao is the person in the portrait sent back by Zhou Chang."

Ye Qing's eyes darkened, Xiao Jinxi, you discovered what happened at that moment! Then he responded: "No, Miss Xiao is overthinking. The wind was a little cold just now, and I was a little dizzy."

Xiao Jinxi nodded in agreement: "Well... it's a deal, as long as the old man is satisfied. Old man, let's talk about it. Why did Eunuch Cao appear at Concubine Mei's mourning hall back then?"

Hearing Ye Qing's anxious denial, Xiao Jinxi smiled and said: "Oh... this is strange. The old gentleman didn't stay in the palace all year round at that time. How can he be so sure that there is nothing going on between Murong Xuan and Eunuch Cao? ?”

Xiao Jinxi continued unceremoniously: "Old sir, I might as well remind you that compared to other princes, Murong Xuan is indeed not favored. But after all, he is the master of Qianxi Palace, and Qianxi Palace is where he grew up. For Qianxi Palace Brick by brick, Murong Xuan is very familiar with it compared to you. You think you have avoided him, but you are still under his nose. "

In one sentence, you were afraid of the Miao Territory and had to swallow your breath and leave the Miao Territory. You had no choice! The resentment in Ye Qing's heart was once again aroused in an instant. The anger that flashed through his eyes just now was now real!

You are avoiding the question. Even when Concubine Mei was alive, in order to protect the Sixth Prince, she did not tell him about Nangong Chu. But after Concubine Mei left, are you so sure that Eunuch Cao will not get involved with Murong Xuan? "

Ye Qing frowned, looking unhappy, and was about to ask again: "Xiao..."

Xiao Jinxi smiled in her eyes, Ye Qing, no matter how cautious you are, you will never be able to resist the desire in your heart, the desire for Miao clan books!
I saw Xiao Jinxi playing with the tea cup in his hand leisurely, sipping the tea one sip at a time, without answering.

Hearing this, Ye Qing hesitated... and pondered... Why was Xiao Jinxi so interested in the relationship between Eunuch Cao and Murong Xuan? Just because you want to take revenge on Murong Xuan?
Seeing Ye Qing's hesitation, Xiao Jinxi said unceremoniously: "Old sir, all the conditions that Murong Xuan promised you back then can no longer be fulfilled. Not only that, the old gentleman has helped Murong Xuan so much, but there are no benefits at all." After all, Murong Xuan may have secretly taken advantage of the old man. Such a partnership is really uncomfortable. Does the old man really not want to know the truth? "

Then he shook his head and smiled: "No, old sir.

Hearing this, Ye Qing's face instantly became horrified. This was something he had never imagined! After all, Murong Xuan was still young at that time, and he had just lost his mother and was guarding her body. How could he have so much thought to pay more attention to her! No, more than that, Murong Xuan's martial arts skills were not that good at that time. If he was really being followed secretly, how could he not be aware of it! Moreover, the place we met was not close to the place where Eunuch Cao met. With Murong Xuan’s martial arts skills at that time, if he had to rush back to the mourning hall in advance, his breath would not be completely disordered. If this was the case, there was no way he would not have noticed it!
Seeing Ye Qing's expression, Xiao Jinxi knew something was going on, and then she said very politely: "Old sir, back then Murong Xuan used a trick to become my savior. At that time, I was grateful for his life-saving grace. , and pitied him for losing his mother at a young age and staying alone in the palace, so he often found opportunities to enter the palace and go to Qianxi Palace to play with him. Therefore, I am very familiar with Qianxi Palace. Why don’t you tell me, old gentleman, how you and I Where did you meet Eunuch Cao so that I can help you with your advice?"

"Ha..." Xiao Jinxi shook his head and smiled: "No, that's not right. The old gentleman didn't look so cold just now. Don't use this excuse to fool me. Let me think about it, um... we were talking about Cao just now. Father-in-law. Old sir, are you thinking of something about Eunuch Cao and Murong Xuan? "

Hearing this, Ye Qing frowned, and a look of anger flashed in his eyes!
Xiao Jinxi smiled with satisfaction in her heart, and added another blow without any courtesy: "Old sir, back then you were afraid of Miaojiang, so you had to swallow your breath and leave Miaojiang. You couldn't help it. Who said that the Miaojiang people have centuries-old Gu skills? . But the situation is different now. Murong Xuan has spent so much time and effort on the old man, but has achieved nothing. Now he is not only unable to fulfill his promise to you, but he has become a street rat. Such a person, you Do you still need to be afraid?”

Xiao Jinxi smiled cooperatively: "Old sir, the military power in the north is in the hands of my father. And my father is currently ordered to capture the deposed emperor Murong Xuan. Murong Xuan is now like a bereaved dog. It is only a matter of time before he is found. When someone catches him, I will ask my father to give you some time secretly. Then you can vent your anger however you want. I will never interfere, as long as he keeps his life until he can return to the imperial capital. Is this idea satisfactory to the old gentleman?"

Ye Qing's silence also made Xiao Jinxi's speculation take shape...
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ye Qing trembled unconsciously, frowning, trying to hide his desire to break the silence: "Miss Xiao..."

"Later I found out that many years ago, when Eunuch Cao had not been sent to Tianqi, and when I went to Prince Qi's Mansion to deliver Huanxin Cao, he had met me, so he knew me. And I came as a missionary He didn't know anything about the palace, so he was so shocked when he saw the old man. He heard that he was also shocked when the news of Meier's sudden death came out, so he specially found an opportunity to deliver the sacrifice in person. have a look."

Xiao Jinxi responded cooperatively: "So that's it. The old gentleman really has a sharp eye and can see through it at a glance. What happened next? In full view of everyone in the mourning hall, you naturally couldn't speak. How did the old gentleman stop Eunuch Cao? Where did you meet and talk?”

Ye Qing continued: "Eunuch Cao finished laying out the sacrifices and left with his people. I used the excuse of going to the latrine to follow Eunuch Cao secretly. On the way Eunuch Cao went back, I handed over a piece of paper with the words "Prince Qi, Dongmei The note "See you in the pavilion in half a quarter of an hour" was thrown at Eunuch Cao by others unpreparedly. As expected, Eunuch Cao found an excuse to send the others away after seeing the note, and went to Dongmei Pavilion to keep the appointment! "

Xiao Jinxi nodded in response: "I see. Dongmei Pavilion. What about Murong Xuan? Where was he at that time?"

Ye Qing responded: "When I left the mourning hall, Murong Xuan was keeping vigil. And I didn't feel anyone was following me on the way to the appointment. With Murong Xuan's martial arts skills at the time, if he was secretly following me, how could I not notice it."

"Hmm... Based on Murong Xuan's martial arts at that time, it stands to reason that this is indeed the case." Xiao Jinxi nodded in thought, and then asked: "When the old gentleman returned to the mourning hall after his appointment, Murong Xuan was still watching in the mourning hall? Didn't the old gentleman look at it? Something's wrong?"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "No, when I went back, I met Murong Xuan outside Juxiang Pavilion."

Xiao Jinxi was confused: "Juxiang Pavilion?"

Ye Qing responded: "Yes, Juxiang Pavilion is not far from the mourning hall. At that time, Murong Xuan said that he found that I had not gone back, so he thought of coming out to look for me. Unexpectedly, I went back as soon as I came out. I didn't notice it at that time. Something is wrong."

"Juxiang Pavilion...Juxiang Pavilion...Juxiang Pavilion..." Xiao Jinxi murmured, constantly thinking about everything in Qianxi Palace in her mind. After marrying into the palace in her previous life, she did not go to Qianxi Palace specifically. The memory of Qianxi Palace is entirely due to visiting Murong Xuan in Qianxi Palace in those years. But these days, some memories are a little blurry.

After a moment, Ye Qing shouted anxiously: "Xiao Da..."

However, before he finished speaking, Mo Yi whispered harshly: "Ye Qing, shut up, Xi'er will tell you if he thinks of anything."

Ye Qing was stunned and held back what he had not finished, but in his heart he looked at Xiao Jinxi differently... This eleventh prince had not spoken for a long time, but now he was afraid that he would disturb Xiao Jinxi and scolded him. Oh, Prince Eleven really has a deep love for Xiao Jinxi.

For a long time, Xiao Jinxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and a scene from many years ago suddenly flashed into his mind! Whispering: "Plum tree!"

Antecedents:

That day, in the backyard of Juxiang Pavilion, she and Murong Xuan were playing and picking chrysanthemums among the chrysanthemums.

That was her first time going to Juxiang Pavilion. The chrysanthemums grew particularly well that year. She happened to go into the palace that day, so Murong Xuan took her to the Juxiang Pavilion, saying that she could pick chrysanthemums and make cakes back home.

While playing around, she suddenly saw a large bare tree trunk standing in the distance, which looked like it belonged to another yard.

The young Xiao Jinxi shouted: "Sixth Prince, where is that place? In this season, why are those trees bare?"

The young sixth prince Murong Xuan took a look and responded: "That's the Winter Plum Pavilion, and it was originally a plum tree. However, the mother-in-law said that the plum tree began to wither in the second year after she entered the palace. It simply won’t grow.”

"A gardener looked at it and said that the roots of the plum tree were not bad, so he tried various methods to save it, but he tried many methods to no avail. It just didn't grow. The gardener asked his mother and concubine if she wanted to Cut it down and transplant a new plum tree, but I don't know why the mother-in-law didn't agree and told the gardener not to worry about it anymore and let it take its course. Later, the mother-in-law didn't use it much. It’s vacant, and that’s how the plum tree has always been.”

When the word "mother and concubine" was mentioned, Murong Xuan couldn't help but feel that his eyes were lowered...
The young Xiao Jinxi took a look and said hurriedly: "Sixth Prince, I'm sorry for mentioning your sadness."

But the young Sixth Prince smiled and said: "It's okay, it's all over. Xi'er, do you miss your mother too?"

The young Xiao Jinxi nodded aggrievedly: "Well, I want to, I really want to, I really want to. But my grandmother said that my mother will feel at ease only when she sees me happy. If I am unhappy, my mother will also be unhappy. . I promised my grandmother that I must be happy. The sixth prince, you must be happy too, so that your mother and concubine will also be happy."

The young sixth prince responded: "Okay, I understand, Xi'er, thank you."

······
For a moment, Xiao Jinxi came back to her senses, her eyes darkened, and she said: "Dongmei Pavilion was vacant when Concubine Mei was alive. Dongmei Pavilion seems to be far away from the main hall, but it is back-to-back with Juxiang Pavilion."

Hearing this, Ye Qing was shocked: "What? Back to back!"

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said: "That's right. Not only that, the only vacant courtyard in Qianxi Palace that is far away from the main palace is Dongmei Pavilion."

"Old sir, back then you thought you had chosen a remote place to meet Eunuch Cao. In fact, Murong Xuan only had to climb over from the backyard of Juxiang Pavilion and reach Dongmei Pavilion in just a short time! Therefore, when you return, you will be in Juxiang Pavilion. I met Murong Xuan outside the pavilion."

"The shock that Eunuch Cao showed when he saw you in the mourning hall was fleeting, but you saw it and maybe Murong Xuan saw it too."

"As soon as Eunuch Cao left, you followed him and left, which made Murong Xuan even more confused and curious."

"You have to be careful when acting. Murong Xuan has to leave the mourning hall during the wake without leaving any doubts. Naturally, there must be a reasonable reason. The old gentleman was sent by the Dai Viet imperial court to pay homage to his mother and concubine. He should take more care of you. That’s right. So, since the old gentleman hasn’t returned for a long time, he naturally wants to go out and look for it.”

"Old sir, do you know why Murong Xuan was able to guess Dongmei Pavilion?"

Ye Qing's face turned dark: "Why?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled: "Because the old gentleman, as an envoy from Dai Viet, came to the palace for the funeral of Concubine Mei. First of all, if the old gentleman leaves Qianxi Palace, he will easily attract attention. Furthermore, this is the first time for the old gentleman. When entering the palace, the only familiar place is Qianxi Palace, so Murong Xuan has already guessed that if you follow Eunuch Cao out and avoid the crowd, the only place where you can meet and talk is at Qianxi Palace. The unoccupied Dongmei Pavilion, which is far away from the main hall, is the best choice!" Hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes were full of ruthlessness again: "So, Murong Xuan knew the identity of Eunuch Cao back then!"

Xiao Jinxi smiled: "That's right, old gentleman, you think you are hiding something. It's a pity that all your conversations with Eunuch Cao have already reached Murong Xuan's ears. Murong Xuan, on the other hand, knew about it, but he kept it secret. Old sir, do you know why this is?"

Ye Qing vaguely felt something, but was not sure. His expression darkened and he asked, "Why did Miss Xiao think he did this?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled coldly: "Because he was still young at that time and had just lost his mother. He had no support in the deep palace and was weak. Although the old gentleman said that he would help him, Emperor Zongyuan was in good health at that time. He really won the throne. It's still too early to start a direct battle. But if you get involved in those disputes too early, Guo Hui will die! And from your conversation, he also knew the attitude of his mother and concubine, so he chose to keep it secret. Especially because he wants to keep these chips for future use when seizing the heir. "

Hearing this, Ye Qing's complexion turned even darker, hehe... Murong Xuan, you are really tolerant enough, you didn't even mention a word about those days. Then he shouted angrily: "Miss Xiao, remember you promised me that after you catch Murong Xuan, you will hand it over to me."

Xiao Jinxi responded cooperatively: "This is natural. Don't worry, old man, I will remember it."

Hearing this, Ye Qing's expression softened slightly.

Xiao Jinxi's voice sounded again: "Old sir, do you know where Murong Xuan used Eunuch Cao's card?"

Hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes darkened and he said with anger, "I don't know."

Xiao Jinxi responded cooperatively: "It doesn't matter, the old gentleman just doesn't know if he doesn't know, so let's put this issue aside for now."

Then, he shook his head and smiled: "Don't be upset, old gentleman. If you don't calm down and listen to me, how can you know the truth of the matter? If you don't know anything, Murong Xuan will be caught by then, and you will How to vent your anger?"

Ye Qing's face turned darker, still angry, and he narrowed his eyes: "It seems that Miss Xiao knows a lot. Then she just kept asking me about Eunuch Cao! No, no, could it be that you had already I know Eunuch Cao. Why did you do this on purpose?

Haha... Not bad, the response is quite fast. Xiao Jinxi sneered in her heart, but still said politely: "No, old sir, you just told me so much, combined with what I found before, We can only guess a few things. In total, the old gentleman deserves the most credit.”

Ye Qing was suspicious: "You just found out?"

Xiao Jinxi nodded in agreement: "Well, that's right, I just found out about it just now. Old sir, why don't you just listen to me and talk to you."

Then, without waiting for Ye Qing to nod in agreement, he continued: "Emperor Zongyuan was suspicious by nature and never appointed a crown prince. Later, Queen Ren'an gave birth to a legitimate son, but the legitimate son turned out to be an idiot."

Speaking of Chi'er, Ye Qing's eyes flashed with pride, and it disappeared in an instant! But this scene never escaped Xiao Jinxi's eyes!

Xiao Jinxi turned a blind eye and continued: "It just gave Emperor Zongyuan another reason to delay establishing a prince. If it hadn't been for his poor health later, the princes would have had the opportunity to participate in political discussions. It was also at that time that Murong Xuan gradually emerged. Come on, start openly participating in the fight for the heir. I think without the help of the old gentleman, without the help of the old gentleman to help guide Nangong Chu, it would not be so easy for Murong Xuan to stand out among the princes. "

Ye Qing said: "That's right. But these are already old things. Emperor Zong Yuan is dead, and Murong Xuan has been deposed now, so those things back then have no meaning."

Xiao Jinxi narrowed her eyes, ha... Such a great contribution, I would rather avoid talking about it now.

Judging from your reaction just now, you probably haven't heard the rumors that King Yan and Princess Jing are not stupid.

Also, compared to the war between Tianqi and Vietnam, the deposed Emperor Mingxi, and the ascension of Emperor Qiyuan, the ignorance of a pair of children becomes insignificant.

Maybe this is the reason why Brother Ten chose that day to let the two children appear in front of people. Because Emperor Mingxi will be deposed and Emperor Qiyuan will ascend the throne soon, it will naturally dilute everyone's attention to the two children. Brother Ten is really well-intentioned. Brother Ten knows Sister Yue too well. Knowing whether he can kill the thief is not important to Sister Yue. Whether the two children are safe is Sister Yue's first consideration.

Ye Qing, I can clearly see the pride in your eyes just now. It seems that you chose to avoid the topic because I mentioned Queen Inan’s idiot.

That medicine was your favorite back then. But after all, Empress Dowager Ren'an is still in office, but Murong Xuan has been deposed. If this matter is exposed at this time, not only are you the one who gave the medicine, but you are also responsible for the person who poisoned it. I'm afraid there will be consequences for yourself. It will bring trouble, so you choose to avoid talking about it. It doesn't matter, then talk slowly, it will always make you talk.

Seeing Xiao Jinxi looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, Ye Qing was inexplicably frightened. He shook his head and ignored the strange feeling, and said, "Miss Xiao, what else do you want to know?"

Be anxious! Xiao Jinxi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I just remembered something. I think there is no shortage of the old gentleman's handiwork here."

Ye Qing's eyes darkened, and he had a bad premonition. He still pretended to be confused and asked, "Oh, I don't understand what Miss Xiao is talking about?"

Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing with a smile and said word by word with great certainty: "In the 10th year of Zongyuan, Mr. Ye gave Murong Xuan the medicine that could slow down the development of the fetus and turn it into a fool."

Hearing this, Ye Qing's murderous eyes instantly shot out, and his right hand was unconsciously holding down his right leg. And this scene had already fallen into Mo Yi's eyes.

Xiao Jinxi looked like she was so angry that she would not pay for her life, and continued to smile: "Mr. Ye, that person is the current Queen Mother Ren'an, and those children are the current Princess Yan and Princess Jing."

Ye Qing's face turned gloomy for a moment, but then his expression changed and he said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, what stupid medicine, I don't know what you are talking about."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head and smiled: "Old sir, you don't have to deny it. If I'm not sure, I won't bring it up to you."

Hearing this, Ye Qing still smiled and said: "Miss Xiao, you are mistaken, I really don't know what you are talking about.

What is a drug that makes a fetus grow retarded and become stupid? I've never heard of it. As we all know, Empress Dowager Ren'an's second son's dementia was caused by the difficulty in giving birth due to her advanced age, which caused the fetus to hold its breath. "

"Ha...ha..." Xiao Jinxi shook his head and smiled: "Old sir, you said that this matter has nothing to do with you. You are not asking for it."

Ye Qing's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing with a smile and said firmly: "Yes, it was well known to the people of Tianqi back then that Queen Ren'an was old and difficult to give birth and her second son was stupid. But later, Queen Ren'an and her second son lived in low-key seclusion for many years, and they have long since faded out of the public eye. . If it hadn’t been for the deposed emperor, the people of Tianqi would have almost forgotten that there is still a Queen Mother Ren’an in our dynasty.”

"This is the case for the people of Tianqi. So, how did the old gentleman know? The old gentleman is far away in Dayue, and he lives deep in the Fallen Leaf Valley to develop poisonous techniques. This kind of thing has nothing to do with him and is thousands of miles away. How come you know so clearly?"

Hearing this, Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure and made a mistake, but he still continued: "Once, I accidentally heard Murong Xuan mention this matter, and I just remembered it."

"Ha...ha..." Xiao Jinxi said with a smile: "Old sir, what you two are conspiring together is to seize the legitimate son. In that battle to seize the legitimate son, the princes were cunning and full of tricks. Murong Xuan It took a lot of effort to deal with them. But the foolish prince and daughter of Queen Mother Ren'an are not a threat to Murong Xuan's throne. Even so, why would Murong Xuan talk to you about this? This statement is not convincing at all. So why does the old gentleman know so clearly, unless you are responsible for this matter? What do you think, old gentleman?

Outside the pavilion, Ye Qing's face became darker and darker...

Xiao Jinxi turned a blind eye, shook her head and said with a smile: "Old sir, you can rest assured that after we talk about this matter today, it will end here. The matter about the old gentleman will never reach the Queen Mother Ren'an."

Ye Qing still had a sullen face and said in a cold voice: "Miss Xiao, I don't know what you are talking about? This matter was indeed brought up by me by Murong Xuan occasionally."

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi's speculation about the answer Prince Gong wanted and the truth about the poisoning at the New Year's banquet was slowly taking shape, but he still needed to get confirmation from Ye Qing.

Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing meaningfully and said, "I have already told you that things about the old gentleman will only be talked about here and will never be spread out. It seems that the old gentleman is not useful."

"It doesn't matter. If the old gentleman doesn't admit it, then he won't admit it. The mastermind of this matter is Murong Xuan, that's for sure. As for where his share of the medicine came from, it's not that important. Just buy a medicine, this world knows There are many doctors and people who know how to make medicines, and it’s not just the old man. Don’t you think so?”

Hearing this, Ye Qing was stunned and looked at Xiao Jinxi and the eleventh prince Murong Yi beside him with confusion. What's happening here? Don't Xiao Jinxi and Murong Yi want to settle this score with me? Murong Yi remained silent. Although he said before that he would not interfere with the royal family's affairs, after all, this matter was about the royal family's heirs, so he still didn't care about it? Is he really not related to the royal family?

Xiao Jinxi and Mo Yi looked at the confused Ye Qing, but turned a blind eye and allowed him to speculate alone.

Mo Yi was still drinking tea quietly alone, still looking like it had nothing to do with him.

For a moment, Xiao Jinxi shook his head and smiled: "Old sir, what are you looking at Mo Yi for? Today's meeting is between you and me and has nothing to do with him, so don't look at him."

Xiao Jinxi's voice drew Ye Qing's gaze back. Ye Qing turned to look at Xiao Jinxi, but his eyes just glanced at the two-thirds of the Gu books on the coffee table. Forbearance flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "Miss Xiao. If you want to know about Murong Xuan, I must tell you everything. But I really don’t know what I just said, so Miss Xiao shouldn’t make any unnecessary guesses.”

Xiao Jinxi cooperated and said with a smile: "Well, since the old gentleman said so, it doesn't matter, let's put it aside in advance."

Then he looked at Ye Qing meaningfully and said, "Old sir, let's do this. I'll reciprocate the courtesy. I'll tell you something you don't know, and it's something you will definitely be interested in."

Ye Qing was stunned, and his doubts became even worse. He was beating a drum in his heart, but he said: "Miss Xiao, I am different from you. Now that Murong Xuan has been defeated, it is impossible to annihilate the Miao territory. In this case, the royal family I'm not interested anymore. Now I just want to work with Miss Xiao to refine the high-level poisonous poison. I'm not interested in anything else."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head and smiled: "No, old gentleman, you will definitely be interested in this matter."

Ye Qing looked at Xiao Jinxi in confusion, but did not answer, or perhaps he was holding back for the remaining Gu book that he had not yet obtained.

Xiao Jinxi was not in a hurry, and still said calmly: "Old sir, do you know why I know about this?"

Ye Qing said impatiently: "I said, I am not interested in the royal family's affairs now."

Xiao Jinxi pretended not to hear, and said to herself: "Old sir, don't worry, listen to me first, and then I will know if you are interested. The recent war between Tianqi and Vietnam, Murong Xuan was deposed, the new emperor ascended the throne, etc. These things are making a fuss, and everyone is also paying attention to these things. There is another thing that I guess the old man has not had time to hear about. "

Ye Qing was confused: "What is Miss Xiao talking about?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled meaningfully and said, "Prince Yan and Princess Jing are not stupid, and they are very smart."

Ye Qing was stunned, his eyes suddenly flashed with disbelief, and he unconsciously exclaimed: "What!"

However, Xiao Jinxi did not give Ye Qing a chance to think, and continued: "I heard that the second son was indeed stunted and unable to speak. It was the Empress Dowager Ren'an who visited famous doctors countless times to find the cause and cure the second son. disease!"

Ye Qing, who had not yet recovered from his disbelief, immediately exclaimed: "Impossible! The toxicity is deep into the bone marrow, how can it be cured!"

At this moment, Ye Qing's eyes were full of determination, the kind of determination that comes from the heart, the determination that he is extremely confident in his medical skills and poisonous skills. The poison he refined is extremely confident that no one can detoxify it!

Yes, Brother Ten said, if it had not been discovered in time, the poison would have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and there would be no chance of treatment! Xiao Jinxi smiled and said: "The old gentleman is really confident in his poison skills!"

"You..." Ye Qing came to his senses instantly and shouted angrily: "Xiao Jinxi! How dare you lie to me!"

Xiao Jinxi shook her head and smiled: "Ha... the old gentleman didn't tell me the truth. At this moment, he is still accusing me." As he spoke, he scratched randomly on the coffee table with his fingers. Suddenly, that wipe He stopped smiling, with anger in his eyes, and tapped his finger... on the Gu book on the coffee table! It seems like a casual action, but it is a complete threat! It also shows that I am very dissatisfied at the moment!

A knock... also made Ye Qing come back to his senses instantly. He knew that the matter had been ruined and there was no point in trying to defend himself. What Ye Qing was thinking at this moment was that the worst outcome was to hide back in Dayue. As long as Nangong Chu didn't find a substitute for the Huanxin grass, Nangong Chu would find a way to protect him.

But Ye Qing's eyes still glanced over the Gu book, with a look of reluctance, and the Xiao Jinxi in front of him made Ye Qing shudder inexplicably for a moment. After a moment, he finally stopped defending and said while holding his breath: "Xiao Da Miss, what does this matter have to do with you? Why do you keep holding on to it?"

Xiao Jinxi stood up slowly, looked at Ye Qing meaningfully, and smiled... It was as if the anger just now had never happened. For a moment, she actually said in a neither serious nor serious tone: "Old sir, from the beginning I I said that I want to know everything that Murong Xuan has done in the past. Whatever I ask, the old gentleman had better not lie to me. I also said that the matter about the old gentleman today is limited to this place. It won’t spread. After all, I still want to continue to cooperate with the old gentleman to refine the poisonous poison, but the old gentleman doesn’t seem to listen.”

"Old sir, the poison of King Yan and Princess Jing has been cured long ago. This is an indisputable fact. You can ask about it then and you will know that I did not lie to you.

I just heard about it recently, and after a little investigation, I got some clues.

The old gentleman's poison skills are indeed great, but there are people outside the world, and there are people outside the world. The poison skills you think you are capable of have actually met your opponent a long time ago, but you don't know it. "

Then he added another blow unceremoniously: "It's just like the poisonous poison that the old gentleman spent his whole life refining, but I don't like it because I knew about the advanced poisonous poison before that, but the old gentleman didn't like it. I just heard about it today, or I told the old gentleman.”

Hearing this, Ye Qing held his breath even more, with a sullen face...

Xiao Jinxi turned a blind eye and continued: "It is precisely because the medicine did not cause any substantial harm, and the old man had exactly what I wanted, whether it was the old man's voodoo, poison, or about Murong Xuan These are the reasons why I will keep Mr.

"Old sir, when the second son was poisoned and Emperor Zongyuan did nothing, the Queen Mother Ren'an knew that she had no one to rely on, so she just chose to swallow her breath and go into seclusion with her second son."

"But things are different now. Emperor Qiyuan ascended the throne, and the emperor respected Empress Dowager Ren'an very much. And this time, Empress Dowager Ren'an should be the first to successfully dethrone the emperor. This is something everyone knows in the world. Just by virtue of The emperor will also make the decision for the queen mother. "

"At this time, if Empress Dowager Ren'an knew who Murong Xuan's helper was, she would definitely not let him go easily. Old sir, what do you think?"

"Old sir, I must pay back all the deception and harm Murong Xuan has done to me over the years."

Suddenly, Xiao Jinxi's voice changed, her eyes filled with a strong murderous aura, and she said coldly: "What? Are you going to shoulder these debts for Murong Xuan, sir?"
