When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 54 You betrayed my trust
"Zhuge Xuanyi, how long are you going to stand at the door?"

In the study room, Li Shun was reviewing the memorial while observing the movement outside the door. This woman had hesitated for more than half a stick of incense.Zhuge Xuanyi heard Li Shun's question and knew that she had been discovered. She bit her lip and raised her long legs with difficulty to step in.

"Zhuge Xuanyi, the subordinate officer guarding the Shen Shen Ji Manufacturing Office, is here to see the Emperor!"

"I know who you are. There is no need to introduce you in detail." Li Shun put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at her: "Why are you wearing such strange and thick clothes? Although it is autumn now, the weather is still a bit hot. Known as the 'Autumn Tiger'. It's nothing to begin with, but it's still secretive. Are you trying to attract my attention on purpose?"

Zhuge Xuanyi was so angry that her shoulders were shaking and her fists were clenched: "I don't know what the emperor is talking about. I am weak and cold, so I put on extra clothes."

Li Shun said: "The weaker your constitution is, the less you can cover it up. It is not easy to sweat profusely in autumn and winter, which can easily cause yin deficiency. If you are not energetic, how can you do things for me? Besides, you are obviously an official in the Shenji Construction Office now. But he is still wearing the official uniform of Yue Lang, although it is not considered treason, but it is also suspected of being disrespectful in front of the palace." What he said was reasonable and well-founded and could not be doubted.Zhuge Xuanyi's official winter clothes have not been distributed yet.

Zhuge Xuanyi gritted his teeth and said, "I will change my clothes when I get back!"

Li Shun waved to a serving maid: "No need to bother. You and her go to the Clothing Bureau to change into a new set."

Zhuge Xuanyi still wanted to refuse, but when she saw Li Shun's eyes that refused to refute, she felt even more guilty and followed the palace maid obediently.

Li Shun looked at her slim back and snorted softly: "I can't cure you? Have you never heard of guarding yourself against gentlemen and not villains? Although I am not a villain, I am definitely not a gentleman. You eat the royal bowl. If you dare to be dishonest, I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

The more guilty and obedient she is, the more it proves that there is something wrong in her heart.

Not long after, Zhuge Xuanyi came back dressed in palace clothes. Her lower body was in a light yellow flower-and-bird skirt, and her upper body was in a translucent plain white gauze shirt with a light red belly (this is the one you are thinking of). things), simple yet a little tempting.

She turned sideways as much as possible, trying to block Li Shun's sight, but her focus was never on the front. Instead, this sideways turn aroused his interest, looking deeply at the woman's waist and the deadly knife.Her face was dyed as red as an autumn poppy, her red lips were biting tightly, and her eyes were gradually moistening.

Li Shun hated to see women shed tears. Anyway, the purpose of education had been achieved: "Okay, put on your official uniform." The palace maid handed her the official uniform, and she hurriedly covered the gauze on her body.

Li Shundao: "Do you know why I called you here today?"

Zhuge Xuanyi shook his head: "I don't know."

Li Shun asked tentatively: "Do you know who made the poison last time?"

Zhuge Xuanyi's expression stiffened for a second. Sure enough, paper can't contain the fire!But he quickly shook his head in denial.

However, Li Shun had already received a definite answer through emotional induction.He asked again: "Is it Zhuge Xiangqing? Or Zhuge Zhenglong?"

The reason why Li Shun asked this was because when he learned that Zhuge Zhenglong was still alive, he had one more person to suspect.He deliberately separated a few seconds between the two names. Through Zhuge Xuanyi's panic reaction, he already knew it was Zhuge Xiangqing.Because when she heard Zhuge Zhenglong's name, she was only stunned.

But she refused to admit it to death: "I don't know."

Li Shun stood up and stared at her with eyes as piercing as the cold wind in the winter moon: "Don't you still admit it?"

Zhuge Xuanyi still wanted to deny it and make a last ditch effort.But Li Shun didn't want to tangle with her anymore.The more he spoke, the angrier he became: "You, Zhuge, are favored by the emperor, and yet you dare to conspire with the traitors! It is even more abominable that you did not report the knowledge! Now that it has been exposed by me, you still want to cover it up, and your heart is to be punished!"

Zhuge Xuanyi's psychological defense was finally broken, and he knelt on the ground, his official uniform about to slip off his shoulders: "Your Majesty, if I don't know about it, I will not report it. That is your grandfather. Furthermore, I know his character well." , he may be a little arrogant, but it is absolutely impossible for him to collude with Zhao Ni Zhongxiao to murder the emperor. How did the three poisonous people Zhao Zhongxiao get it, please let the emperor know clearly!"

Li Shun knew that she was telling the truth, but he almost laughed angrily: "Have you even thought about the reason? Hiding yourself from each other? Hiding yourself from each other does not apply to the serious crime of treason. You have been in the Shenji Guard for many years, how can you How could you not know! When you use these words to deal with me, you are treating me like a three-year-old child!"

"You still call me Mingcha? Humph..." He sneered twice from his nose: "Do you think your accomplices are dead and you can sit back and relax? I tell you, the emperor never needs evidence to kill someone! I can Without the Zhuge family, there can be no divine machine guards, but I will never allow deception!"

"You deceive me and betray my trust in you!" Li Shun stepped forward and pinched her delicate face. After speaking out in person, he let go of his hand and turned his back. He wanted to enforce the law by fishing. If Zhuge Xuanyi is really rebellious. After breaking her face this time, she feels like the fish is dead and the net is broken.He didn't notice that the hand that had pinched her was entangled with a black energy, trying to penetrate into his body, but it was blocked by a golden dragon energy and gradually dissipated.

Zhuge Xuanyi did not make a move, only heard a "dong" sound, and the heavy object fell to the ground.When Li Shun turned around, Zhuge Xuanyi had vomited blood and fell to the ground.He was panicked. He couldn't be so strong, could he?Don't be like a sparrow, blowing up pipes at every turn!He originally wanted to threaten him first and then ask Zhuge Xuanyi to help him get the formation drawings.

"Quickly call the imperial doctor!" Li Shun stepped forward to check that he was still breathing, and hurriedly shouted out the door.Then he picked her up and rushed to the bedroom in the side hall.He doesn’t want to take advantage of it while it’s hot, so he can’t just throw it on the ground, right?

The imperial doctor arrived, and after some inspection, he made the classic shaking head gesture of a doctor coming out of the emergency room: "Your Majesty, this woman has an old disease, and now it has broken out. I am afraid there is no way to save her!"

"Old disease?"

"If I guess correctly, she should have been poisoned a long time ago, at least five years ago. I have little knowledge and have no knowledge of poisons. I would like to ask the emperor to call the warlock from the Divine Mechanism Manufacturing Office to come and take a look."

"insanity?"

Li Shun realized the seriousness of the matter, but asked him to go to the Shenji Manufacturing Office to hire someone, but he was afraid of disturbing the situation. Thinking that there was a great warlock in the palace, he said: "Stay back first. Call Master Zhang to come!"

Zhang Tingnian finished handling the alchemy affairs and ordered his disciples to take turns looking at the stove. As soon as Zhang Tingnian lay down and fell asleep, he was woken up from his dream. Hearing that it was the emperor's urgent summons, he could only get out of bed. He was in such a hurry that even his hair was tied up. Not combed.When Li Shun saw it, it looked like a big-headed radish whose leaves had been pickled for a long time, but he had no intention of joking. He only said: "This woman has been poisoned. Please ask Zhang Guoshi for treatment."

Zhang Tingnian exhaled: "Your Majesty, you won't really use me as a witchcraft wizard, will you?"

Li Shun quickly apologized: "He who can do more work, my Imperial Master, please help me."

The emperor had his orders, and Zhang Tingnian did not dare to disobey him. After checking, he looked solemn: "She was bewitched, and it's very special. The caster's technique is very clever, and I can't figure out what it is. But it's still the same Logically speaking, if you can know what the poison is used as a medium, you can find a solution."

In Li Shun's "You continue" look, Zhang Tingnian said helplessly: "Your Majesty, every line is like a mountain. Last time, I was lucky and the technique was simple, so I happened to see through it. This time, I am a master, so forgive me for my incompetence." .”

Li Shundao: "Does that mean you just need to know what to use to cast the poison?"

Zhang Tingnian nodded: "If you know, you can try it, but there is no guarantee. The voodoo technique is also in the process of being cast, and sometimes the effect is greater than the voodoo."

Li Shun looked at Zhuge Xuanyi and licked his lips, "I'm not polite."
