The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 117 Mantis Catching Cicadas

Li Ye looked at her humble in the corner, then at the emperor surrounded by thousands of flowers, and sighed secretly.

"Chang Xi, I'll take a look at you!" Li Longji brushed off the fallen flowers around him, and walked towards Chang Xi.

Chang Xi stood up from the bench, picked up the wooden box and was about to open it.

"Let me come!" Li Longji held her waist with one hand, put the wooden box on the case with the other, and tore off the seal.

"Father!" Prince Ying, who was playing with Li Heng just now, ran to Li Longji with a clever toy, and said, "Chang Cairen's box for a spider is so beautiful!"

After what he said, everyone found out that the box that Chang Xi used to hold the spider was actually a sandalwood box, and there was a picture of Cao Zhi Luoshui meeting Zhen Mi engraved on the outside. The posture is really lifelike, and every frown and smile looks like Chang Xi in palace attire.

"Ying'er didn't say anything, I really didn't realize that this box is really exquisite!" The queen nodded and smiled.

Feng Lu asked: "Is this box also given to Chang Cairen by His Royal Highness Xue Wang?"

Li Ye said: "Exactly!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Concubine Li's mouth, "King Xue really has a heart!" The word "Would Heart" was intentionally accentuated.

Li Ye pretended not to see him and continued drinking.

Prince Ying picked up the box from the desk, played with it carefully for a long time, and said with a smile, "Father, let me open it for you, okay?"

Seeing that he likes it, Li Longji said: "Since Yinger likes it, I can open it for my father, just be careful not to kill the happy spider that your fifth uncle has worked so hard to get!"

"Father, don't worry!" Prince Ying exclaimed happily.

Seeing this, Prince Heng leaned over enviously, wanting to see what kind of happy spiders are contained in such a beautiful box!

As soon as Prince Ying lifted the lid, he saw a huge black spider coiled inside. There were layers of dense webs in the box, overlapping, and there were as many as five layers!

"Fifth Brother Wei Dao is so confident, this spider is indeed different from ordinary ones!" the Queen praised.

Li Ye smiled and said: "That's right! This king has never liked government affairs, but loves to work hard on these rare and exotic animals!"

Wang Ziying saw that the spider had a strange shape and a good weaving web, but he just squatted there blankly, as if dead, curious for a moment, couldn't help poking and pulling it with his small hand.

"Be careful! Don't touch it with your hands! What to do if you get bitten!" Concubine Li frowned slightly, and said something to Prince Ying with a slight reproach.

Li Ye smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! This spider is not poisonous!"

Hearing what Li Ye said, Prince Ying quickly laughed and said, "The concubine mother is the most timid, you see... Ouch!" He hopped and yelled, and quickly threw the spider on the ground.

"Oh, it hurts!" Li Ying grinned and cried.

Concubine Li hurriedly grabbed Li Ying's hand to check it repeatedly, and said angrily, "I told you not to move, you'll be bitten!"

Seeing his brother Li Ying being bitten by the spider, Li Heng angrily rushed forward and trampled the spider that was trying to crawl away on the ground, and shouted: "I want you to bite brother Ying!"

"Look, Your Majesty, Heng'er understands the meaning of filial piety!" The more the Queen looked at Prince Heng, the more she liked him.

Li Longji was also very happy, and praised Prince Heng a few words.Prince Heng hadn't seen Li Longji much since he was born, and it was the first time he saw him praising himself in front of everyone, his little face was flushed with excitement and shyness.

Concubine Li was very upset that Li Longji praised Prince Heng so much, she took Li Ying's hand and returned to her seat.

The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to announce who won the first place this time!"

Concubine Li peeled open an orange and said with a smile: "If you talk about the density, it's the ordinary people who win. As for Xinqiao, it's naturally Gao Jieyu!"

Guo Shunyi shook the palace fan and said with a smile: "The ingenuity has always been discussed in terms of the density of a spider's web, but there is no other way of saying it!"

Feng Lu said indifferently: "Since it has always been like this, we should play it in a different way, otherwise what's the fun in always being like that?"

Concubine Hua said coldly: "It's useless to say so much, let His Majesty judge it!"

Gao Jieyu and all the concubines looked at Li Longji in unison, and saw her smiling at Gao Jieyu, then at Chang Xi, and said, "I think Chang is a talented person."

Just hearing a thud, everyone was startled, looking for their reputation, they saw Prince Ying collapsed on Concubine Li's case at some point.

Concubine Li was so busy fighting with everyone, she didn't care about her son at the side. At this moment, he fell to the ground and picked him up in fright. His eyes were tightly closed, and his lips had turned deep purple. ! !

"Ying'er! Ying'er!" Concubine Li shouted repeatedly in fright.

Li Longji was also shocked when he saw this, he ran down the imperial case, took Prince Ying from Concubine Li, grabbed him with his hands, and shouted: "Hurry up and announce the imperial physician!"

The ministers below didn't know what happened, but they saw a commotion in the hall.

Concubine Li is strong in one item, and at this moment she couldn't hold back the tears rolling down her cheeks, sobbing: "Ying'er, what's wrong with you, don't scare the concubine mother!"

The Queen said: "Sister Li Concubine, don't worry, when the imperial doctor arrives, you will know why Ying Er suddenly fell into a coma!"

Yu Zhaorong frowned and said, "Looking at Prince Ying's deep purple lips, it is obvious that he has been poisoned!"

When Concubine Li heard these words, she stood up abruptly, and shouted angrily at the servant maid beside her wooden desk: "Who did it! Who poisoned it!"

Feng Lu grabbed Concubine Li's hand and persuaded: "Sister, calm down, Prince Ying's life is the top priority now!"

"Lishi, keep an eye on this place, and don't allow anyone to approach rashly!" After Li Longji ordered Gao Lishi, he immediately picked up Prince Ying, pressed his face against his own, and comforted: "Ying'er, the emperor is here, you want Hold on!" Running all the way, he was sent to the bedroom of Huaqing Palace.

All the concubines looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect such a series of things to happen on the Girl's Day, first Lu Meiren made an accidental embarrassment, then Prince Ying was inexplicably poisoned, and it was unclear how many people would be involved, the noisy hall was silent for a while, everyone People are at risk.

Accompanied by the servants of the Tai Hospital, Imperial Physician Zhao ran all the way into the inner hall. Li Longji ordered the concubines surrounding Li Ying to move away. Imperial Physician Zhao calmed down and took Li Ying's pulse. .

After a long time, Imperial Physician Zhao changed his hand again, and hurriedly said, "Prince, he has been poisoned!"

"Can you diagnose the poison!" Li Longji said in a deep voice.

Imperial Physician Zhao shook his head, and said: "This poison is very strange, the old minister can't diagnose it!"

Concubine Li fell to her knees, grabbed Li Longji's lapel and cried: "Your Majesty, someone deliberately murdered our mother and son, please Your Majesty to make decisions for Li'er!"

Li Longji helped Concubine Li to comfort him: "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter!"

"Your Majesty!" Gao Lishi ran in from the outside, waved his whisk, and said, "This old servant has experienced the diet soup before Li Feimu's case, and he is sure that there is no poison!"

The queen frowned and said, "Then how did Prince Ying get poisoned!"

"Could it be that spider!" After Fenglu reminded everyone, they remembered that Prince Ying was bitten by the spider in Chang Xi's box just now.

Chang Xi's eyelids twitched, and she broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that this matter was about to fall on her again, she thought that she used Sister Hua's folk recipe and secretly put rootless duckweed in Lu Meiren's wine to make her look ugly. , Can get rid of a powerful enemy quietly, but who knows that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole, although he drives away Lu Meiren as he wishes, he falls into another big conspiracy.
