The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 127 Acting
Lin Zisu didn't understand why the emperor suddenly involved Xie Xi. The emperor didn't wait for Lin Zisu's reply, and seemed to be talking to himself: "I have made several mistakes in the past ten years. What I regret is that I am sorry for the mother and son of the fourth son."

From the previous life to the present, in Lin Zisu's heart, Dun Wang Xie Xi has always been an insignificant existence.

Everyone in the capital knew that not only the emperor didn't like this son, but all civil and military officials only maintained superficial respect for Xie Xi, no one had ever taken him seriously.

According to Xie Yao, the emperor, the father, seldom cares about Xie Xi's daily life, and he even chose the remote Dunzhou for being crowned king.

Dunzhou is a notoriously poor place, and it is also the junction of three provinces. It has been a place where criminals have been exiled since ancient times. The local bandits are rampant and the people are in dire straits.

After Xie Yao came to the throne, in order to take care of his younger brother, he left Xie Xi in the capital and became the city guard.

In this life, at first Lin Zisu thought the same as in the previous life, but after seeing the friendship between Xie Xi and the prince of Dian, Yang Xingyao, she felt that things were not as simple as she thought.

With the increasing number of dealings with Xie Xi, Lin Zisu finally knew that this King Dun is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Although she still disdains him verbally, in her heart, she has changed from contempt at the beginning to secretly wary.

Since entering the palace, Lin Zisu has seen that the emperor treats Xie Xi kindly, and even saves the etiquette of some monarchs and ministers, just like the father and son of ordinary people.

At this moment when the emperor mentioned Xie Xi, Lin Zisu pricked up his ears to listen carefully, only to hear the emperor say again: "Back then, I rested in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and it happened to be Xiaosi'er's biological mother who served me. I got drunk and lost my mind. She later had Xiaosier."

Speaking of these things, the emperor seemed to recall some unhappy past events, and in front of Lin Zisu, a girl, his face was a little unnatural when he spoke.

However, he paused, made up his mind, and continued: "After the queen mother found out, she has been forcing me to give her a title. I was young and energetic at the time, and I didn't have the intention of accepting a concubine, so I always had prejudice against their mother and child." , and made them suffer a lot.”

"Xiaosi'er's mother and concubine have a bad life. After giving birth to Xiaosi'er, I originally wanted to give her a concubine seat, but unfortunately... Hey, I let the queen raise Xiaosi'er, and I also want him to grow up safely. Now Come to see, not only did it not bring any benefits to Xiao Si'er, but it caused him a lot of trouble."

The emperor's words finally told Xie Xi's origin, but the words were vague and seemed to be covering up.

Lin Zisu glanced at the emperor, and boldly asked, "Your Majesty, what trouble did His Highness Prince Dun encounter later?"

The emperor laughed dumbly, and said: "You girl, if you want to know, you can go and find out by yourself in the future."

While the two were talking, Lin Zisu had already checked the emperor's pulse.

After yesterday's treatment, the residual vitality in the emperor's meridians was obviously stimulated, and within a day, the originally weak pulse suddenly became calm and gentle.

Lin Zisu remembered Master's explanation, and said, "The toxins in Your Majesty's body have been suppressed. Take some medicine for the next two days, and then apply ice moxibustion in three days. It will be fine."

When she said this, she was actually a little guilty.

According to the master, every time this "ice moxibustion technique" is used on a patient, the patient's lifespan will be overdrawn.

It is actually a last resort to use it on the emperor.

The emperor seemed to be a terminally ill patient. He was poisoned by Ye Yuqingfeng and injured his meridians. Without this treatment, he would be unconscious like a stroke sooner or later.

Using the "ice moxibustion technique", even if it can prolong the emperor's life by four to five years according to master's estimate, it is still the emperor's advantage.

However, this method is not detoxification after all, so Lin Zisu said it very cryptically, only saying that "the toxin has been suppressed".

However, the emperor was attracted by the "three days later" in her words, and said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I have been ill for so many days, if I don't go out again, some people outside may not be able to wait."

Lin Zisu had mixed feelings in her heart, and she suddenly thought of last night, when the master impatiently taught her various medical skills, she wished she could learn all his skills in one night.

Looking at it now, Master has already guessed that today's catastrophe will happen, and he explained the funeral to himself last night.

Master must have hidden something from himself, but now that he has gone west, those secrets are no longer easy to find out.

Lin Zisu had a thought. When she saw Master's body just now, she was only concerned about panic, and didn't care about the cause of Master's death at all.

There were neither obvious wounds nor blood on the master's body, so it was most likely that he had been poisoned.

With such a clue, we must investigate it when we leave the Qianqing Palace later.

Seeing that Lin Zisu hadn't answered his words, the emperor guessed that she was brooding over Sun Duzhong's death.

He sighed and said: "Let Xiao Sier look into things about your master, he will definitely look into it with all his heart. It's also difficult for me in this position, the people below are not talking about intrigues, but I have to guard against them They have ulterior motives. It’s obviously a simple matter, but when they come to them, they will shirk and wait and see. You see, I have sent Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and no one has replied to me at this moment.”

Lin Zisu didn't know why the emperor had such expectations for Xie Xi, but she had seen how unreliable Xie Xi was, and she wanted to say, "You don't know, your son doesn't pay attention".

However, after thinking about it for a while, she still swallowed the words abruptly, and said, "My lady thank you Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said: "Su Yatou, you don't have to thank me, this is his duty, if you have any request, just ask him when you see him."

Lin Zisu was confused by the emperor's words again. How could hearing the emperor's tone mean that the murder of his master was related to Xie Xi?How did it become Xie Xi's job?
The emperor went on to say: "If I wait another three days, I will have to be busy for a while. There are a few important things that I have to wait for me to do. One is to track down the murderer who killed your master, and the other is to track down the murderer who killed your master. There is another person who poisoned me... Sigh, the assassination in the palace is such a big event, yet Yao'er didn't come back to say hello, it seems that something big happened in the capital too."

Hearing that the emperor put the investigation of the cause of his master's death at the top of the list, whether it was false or false, Lin Zisu was a little moved in his heart.

She thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think that instead of waiting for them to make a move, we should put on a play and see who is the god and who is the ghost."
