Chapter 397 You are resurrecting a dead body
"Your Majesty, do you want to know who poisoned the Queen?"

Lin Xi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the emperor's body, "These days, I'm thinking about finding out the poisoner all the time! If you dare to poison An Niang, I will definitely——"

Realizing that the two children were still in front of him, the emperor swallowed the harsh words that followed.

After coaxing the two children away, he asked, "Do you have any way to find that person out?"

In fact, as early as when An Niang was poisoned, he ordered people to search for the person who poisoned her, hoping to get the antidote to save An Niang.

But he interrogated thousands of people in the palace and couldn't find that person.

I don’t even know how that person poisoned An Niang.

This made him shudder.

The person who poisoned him was so clever, but he didn't leave any traces.

What if he continues to take action next time?

Next time, his target may be himself and his two children.

He would never allow this to happen.

Now that An Niang's poison has been cured, it's time for him to use all his strength to find out the person who poisoned her.

Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep peacefully.

Lin Xi nodded, "Hongyanku is a compound poison. The so-called compound poison is composed of two or more poisons. Each of them is not poisonous, but when combined together, it becomes highly toxic."

Emperor: "No wonder I searched the entire palace and couldn't find the source of the poison."

Lin Xi: "The advantage of compound poison is that it is hidden and unnoticed, and once it attacks, it is very violent and difficult to remove. However, the disadvantage is that it requires multiple poisonings, and it is useless once or twice.

"It can be seen that it does not take a day or two for the queen to become poisoned, but at least seven days.

"And the person who was able to poison the queen for so many days was either someone from the imperial kitchen or someone close to her."

When the emperor heard this, veins popped out in his hands, and he crushed the armrest of the chair to pieces.

You can see the anger in his heart.

The servants and chamberlains standing in the palace knelt down one after another, not daring to express their anger.

Lin Xi, however, looked calm and unfazed, "Your Majesty, please ask someone to bring the people who serve in the imperial kitchen and the empress's palace, so that I can interrogate them one by one."

The emperor glanced at Jiang Hai, "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what Doctor Ling said?"

Jiang Hai got up from the ground, "Yes, yes, I'll go right now."

I couldn't help but mourn for two seconds for the servants of the Imperial Kitchen and Shangyang Palace.

The Emperor has interrogated them several times before, and now Doctor Ling is going to do it again.

I hope they can bear it.

Interrogation is not just about words, it may also involve execution!
It's a pity that Jiang Hai got sidetracked and Lin Xi's interrogation was really just lip service.

The prisoner cannot be punished.

Lin Xi asked for an empty room with no one else inside, and let people from outside in one by one.

Everyone came out in less than a cup of tea.

With one glance from Lin Xi, the person being interrogated would be hypnotized, telling them everything they knew, and the speed would naturally increase.

However, after all the interrogations of these people, the person who poisoned them was still not found.

After the queen was poisoned, the emperor sealed off the palace. People in the palace were only allowed in but not allowed out, so the person who poisoned the palace should still be in the palace.

How can I not find it?
Lin Xi thought for a while and asked the emperor for "Notes on the Queen's Daily Life".

Emperors and empresses were surrounded by historians who specialized in recording their daily lives.

When you get up every day, what you eat, who you meet, what you do, when you fall asleep... these are all recorded in the book.

Lin Xi flipped through it and noticed something.

Yue Nu would give the queen handmade snacks almost every day.

She had met him once before in the palace.

So Lin Xi ordered: "Bring Yue Nu, I have something to ask her."

Not long after, Yue Nu was brought over.

Seeing her, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a strange sense of disobedience.

It turned out that Yue Nu only had a similar face to hers.

But now, Yue Slave, who has been raised in the palace and has become increasingly plump and white, not only has a face, but also a body shape and even an expression that are very similar to her.

"Yes, I have seen a miracle doctor." As soon as he opened his mouth, Yue Nu showed a timid expression.

Lin Xi looked at her, activated her mental power, and asked: "Yue Slave, why do you send snacks to the Queen every day?"

Yue Nu: "The Queen is very kind to me. I want to repay her, but I can't do anything. I can only make some snacks and give them to the Queen."

Lin Xi: "Did you poison the snacks?"

Yue Nu: "No, how could I poison the snacks?"

Lin Xi asked another question: "When you make snacks, besides the ingredients for making snacks, do you also add anything else to it?"

Yue Slave: "I added honey, and -"

Just when she was about to say it, Yin Lizhu in her mind suddenly took control of her body.

He continued: "Milk, I heard from the nanny in the imperial kitchen. After adding milk, the pastry will have a milky aroma and taste softer and sweeter."

Lin Xi did not miss Yue Nu's brief pause just now and looked at her inquiringly.

However, the little girl in front of her did not blink, her eyes were still empty and lifeless.

It's not like he's out of control.

Of course, there is another possibility that she is acting.

If this is the case, then this little girl is too evil.

Taoist Master Qisheng often said that she and Lin Wushang were monsters. That was because one of them had traveled through time and the other had been reborn.

They are all people who have lived two lifetimes.

Not really a child.

But what about the Moon Slave in front of me?
Is it possible that she was also reborn or traveled through time?

This is not impossible.

She and Lin Wushang can be reborn and travel through time, why can't others?
Lin Xi suddenly stabbed Yue Nu with a dagger.

Yue Nu remained motionless, and there was no expression of fear or fear on her face.

It seems like he is really a puppet.

However, Lin Xi was always paying attention to her mentally. At that moment, she found that Yue Nu's muscles were tense, her pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and her heartbeat was beating several beats faster.

No matter how brilliant your acting skills are, there will always be flaws because people cannot control their body's instincts.

For example, after strenuous exercise, the body will sweat, the heartbeat will speed up, and the blood flow will also become faster.

Can these be controlled?
Obviously not.

Yue Nu's body's subconscious reaction exposed herself.

She really is not simple.

Lin Xi bombarded her with various questions again.

"How you?"

"Look up at the moon, what's your next sentence?"

"In what year did you die in your last life?"

……

Based on Yue Nu's micro-expression and instinctive reaction, Lin Xi ruled out the possibility that she was a time traveler.

But she doesn't seem to be reborn either.

Instead it's like...

How to put it, it's like a self-righteous adult taking over the body of a child.

An idea flashed in Lin Xi's mind, "Are you borrowing a corpse to bring back the soul?!"

Yin Lizhu: "!"

She was clearly disguised very well, how did this person see through her?

But even if she knew she was exposed, she had to bite the bullet and continue to pretend.

Still speaking like a puppet: "No."

Lin Xi curled her lips, her pupils and breathing said otherwise.

"Okay, I'm done asking, you can go out."
