Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 398
His Royal Highness turned the jade paperweight around on his fingertips, without speaking.

He had no choice but to continue to report: "My subordinates went to various medical centers to track it down, but this medicine has never been heard or seen before. Only an old woman in the folk said that this is... this is..."

He hesitated, a little embarrassed.

"What is it?" His Royal Highness stopped playing with the jade paperweight, and stared at him coldly.

"The old woman said that she was blindly intriguing poison..."

As soon as he said a word, he was ready to die.

However, he didn't wait for the master to get angry, let alone see the master throwing things.

He was a little uncertain for a moment, and his eyes fell on the palm of His Highness the Crown Prince.

This is a tiger-shaped jade paperweight, exquisitely crafted and lifelike.

The white jade was flawless, making those slender fingers somewhat moist.

His Royal Highness's fingertips fell on the tiger's head, rubbing it inch by inch, as if stroking the cheek of a beauty, gentle and affectionate.

Is this angry?Still not angry?

The dark guard couldn't help thinking about it.

I heard before that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves the Crown Princess very much, but now I know that all of this was arranged by someone. If it is true, doesn't it mean... all of this is a beauty trick?

According to His Highness the Crown Prince's previous methods, the Crown Princess might be abolished...

But looking at His Highness the Crown Prince's expression now, he seems a little hesitant...

This is also true, a couple of one day, one hundred days of kindness, how can we say that we can let go of it!

The more the hidden guard thought about it, the more complicated it became, and he explained in a busy but useless manner: "...Fortunately, this medicine is mild in nature, it won't kill people, and it won't hurt the root, even if it stays with you for a lifetime, it's nothing..."

"What is lifelong companionship?" His Royal Highness finally raised his head and asked in a cold voice.

"This one……"

When Li Xuanye saw his expression, he understood from the bottom of his heart.

The dark guards tracked down the major pharmacies, but no one knew them, and they were afraid that they didn't know what the secret recipe was.

Another thought of her cold syndrome turned out to be a side effect of the superposition of two medicines.

No wonder Gu Hansu couldn't diagnose...

The hidden guard stood there for a long time, and couldn't help but reminded again: "Your Highness—"

Li Xuanye looked at the old yellowed envelope, waved his hand gently, and stopped what he was going to say next.

The cold wind blew through and blew out several palace lanterns.

The light in the hall suddenly dimmed, and His Highness the Prince's face was hidden in a blur of light and shadow, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger.

Only the tone was tired: "Forget every word you said today..."

"Yes……"

The dark guard looked at his master again worriedly, then bowed and retreated to the gate of the hall, swept away, and disappeared into the night.

It wasn't until all the serving people inside and outside the hall dispersed that Li Xuanye picked up the envelope again, put it in front of his eyes for a while, then took a small knife from the pen holder, and slowly cut the envelope along the seal. broke open.

He moved very gently, as if pinching a layer of fragile ice edges, for fear of accidentally damaging the pages inside.

The letter paper was yellow, and the handsome handwriting revealed aloofness.

Li Xuanye could recognize it, it was Zhao Ziyi's handwriting.

One letter per page, a total of sixteen pages.

They were all replies from Zhao Ziyi, they didn't say anything special, they were just words of daily thoughts.

Flipping through the pages one by one, his eyes suddenly focused.

"It's been ten years since I left Chang'an. Every time I think about that day, it makes me restless day and night. I only hate that I am cowardly and incompetent, and cannot avenge the Shen family... Wait a little longer. Baby, I have to wait for the time..."

revenge?What revenge?

Li Xuanye frowned slightly, the emperor did not convict Shen Mu when he was demoted.There are often big ups and downs for officials and butchers. What kind of hatred is this?
With such questions in mind, he turned another page.

"The crown prince has started to govern, and I have gained his trust. In time, with his hands, I will definitely kill my enemies."

So, Zhao Ziyi took all the pains to marry her daughter in order to take revenge by taking advantage of the power of the East Palace?

But who is his enemy?
Li Xuanye carefully read the sixteen letters several times, but couldn't find any clues.

——It’s not that there is no clue at all, at least based on those few words, a few points can be inferred:

One, Zhao Ziyi's enemies are so powerful that it is even possible that the current emperor can't do it, so he spared no effort to pay for his daughter and give her such medicine, just to gain his power.

Second, Shen Mu died depressed after being demoted, probably not because he couldn't accept being demoted, but because he was murdered.

Third, Shen Shi and Zhao Ziyi were separated, living in the countryside and unable to return to Beijing, there is another hidden story behind it.

……

What is this old fox planning?
It stands to reason that now that Zhao Ziyi is the prime minister, and her daughter is favored in the East Palace, her status can be said to have reached the peak, and it is also a matter of picking fingers to defeat the Pei family.

What kind of deep hatred is it that requires him to gamble his life and even his daughter's future?

If he wasn't afraid of scaring the snake, he really wanted to know what kind of reaction Zhao Ziyi would have when he saw this stack of letters...

Thinking of Zhao Xiwei again, his brows frowned again.

Questions that were puzzling before, now have a clue.

Why is there a cold syndrome, why can't find an antidote, why is it not well taken care of...

He even vaguely remembered why she couldn't stand his teasing...

……

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been a man of action. Since he had doubts, he returned to the bedroom with a purpose.

Zhao Xiwei was still asleep, and was leaning on the desk by the window, writing quickly.

She rolled up her sleeves loosely, revealing a section of her fair arms, and the light softly enveloped her side face, as shiny and bright as the moon on that day.

"You're back!" The slender figure was reflected on the rice paper, and the cool fragrance came over, and you didn't need to inform me who it was.

Zhao Xiwei put down his pen, got up and greeted him.

She skillfully took off his coat, brought hot water and cleaned his hands.

Li Xuanye had a gentle face and let her manipulate him, maybe he was too quiet, she was a little surprised: "Your Highness is in a bad mood today?"

"No." Li Xuanye smiled slightly.

"Really?" Zhao Xiwei wiped his hands with a cotton towel, and stopped when he heard this: "Then why don't you talk?"

The two have been together for so long, and she has already grasped his temper four or five points.

In short, when you don't talk, you must be unhappy!
Li Xuanye was unhappy, but he didn't want to bring these emotions to Zhao Xiwei.

The matter of Zhao Ziyi is in the end a matter of the imperial court.

Zhao Ziyi can get her daughter involved, but Li Xuanye is not such a person.

He thinks that matters between men should be resolved by men's means.

After all, Zhao Ziyi's behavior seemed extremely selfish and naive to him.

Do you really think you can control anything by stuffing your daughter into the East Palace?
If he is affectionate, that's okay, but if he is ungrateful and ungrateful, if he is held in the palm of his hand today and discarded like a shoe tomorrow, what can he do with him?

"It's a bit bad at first, but it's good to see Wei'er!" Li Xuanye smiled and pinched her face.

Zhao Xi tilted his head slightly to avoid it, stroked his cheek with his fingers, and smiled brightly at him: "Then Your Highness, take a look?"

"Where is it enough just to look at?" Li Xuanye laughed, picked her up by the waist, and walked towards the bed, his tone gradually lowered: "There is something more that can make me feel better——"
