21. Chapter 21 Loyal servant
"Empress!" Xiao Zhi called in a trembling voice.
Ye Wange's eyebrows became more and more gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his black eyes. The cold light was like the cold sharp light emitted by a sword that had just been unsheathed. Just a slight tip of the sword could kill him.
"The Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty asked, what is that flower and plant?" Ye Wange keenly sensed from Song Qisheng's question and expression that the poison in her body was probably related to that flower and plant.
When Xiao Zhizi heard Ye Wange's tone, he thought bad, they were going to blame the flower and plant he brought from outside for this matter.
"Empress! You are wronged! This flower and plant was dug by the slave from the pond on the palace wall, but it is not poisonous?" Little Ruler trembled with fright, and the muscles on his cheeks also trembled. Fortunately, he was still alive.
Calmly explain the origin of this flower and plant.
After hearing this, Song Qisheng fixed his gaze on this flower. He reached out and pinched the thick green leaves on the branches and asked, "Have you ever seen this flower in bloom?"
Several people shook their heads after listening, and Xiao Zhi remembered Xiao Zi's words and replied, "We have never seen it, but we heard from Xiao Zi that this strange flower will bloom at night? It will also emit a strange blue light, and it is extremely beautiful."
The more the little ruler talked, the uglier Song Qisheng's face became. He pinched a wrapped bud and peeled it open. Blue pollen fell from the stamens.
"Purple Night Star, this is extremely poisonous! How could you move it into the house?" Song Qisheng determined from the pollen in the stamens that it was the highly toxic Purple Night Star. Its flowers are extremely beautiful but contain highly toxic substances.
"Ah!" Little Ruler opened his mouth wide, but could not close it again. When he heard that it was a poisonous weed, his whole body began to tremble, and his face turned pale with fright. He collapsed on the ground with a "pop".
The little ruler lying limp on the ground was so frightened that murdering the empress was a capital crime. How could he be so unjust? Just to add a little life to the palace, he dug up a piece of grass and turned it into a poison to murder the empress.
"You actually tried to murder the empress?" Xiaodie asked in disbelief as she looked at the little ruler lying limp on the ground.
The girl who used to be submissive in the past questioned Xiao Zhi sharply, which really surprised Xiao Zhi and made him confused. He didn't intend to murder the empress at all, so how could he become the murderer?
"I didn't." Xiao Zhizi replied looking at Xiaodie's knife-like eyes.
Xiaodie looked at the little ruler on the ground and became furious. Fortunately, she and Ye Wange thought he was a loyal and honest person in private. Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Before Ye Wange showed off his power, Xiaodie
He pinched the waist with one hand fiercely and pointed at the forehead of the little ruler with one hand, and cursed, "You are such a ungrateful little ruler. Fortunately, our queen treats you as one of her own. I didn't expect that you are a devil who eats people without spitting out their bones; secretly,
A stumbling villain; his skin is filled with poisonous wine, he looks weak and loyal but is full of poison inside..." Xiaodie gritted her teeth and cursed.
Xiao Zhizi was already full of grievances and had no words to talk about, and now he was scolded so badly by Xiaodie that he felt aggrieved and helpless.
Listening to Xiaodie's scolding, he looked at Ye Wange with tears of grievance in his eyes, and called out with trembling lips, "Empress!"
When Ye Wange heard Song Qisheng say that the flower was poisonous, she was furious. Now when she heard the murderer calling her, she was even more furious.
She frowned and glared angrily, "Xiao Zhi, tell me who ordered you to murder me?"
After she asked, she looked at the slave who was slumped on the ground, and let out a sneer. This sneer was as frightening as a hungry beast in the deserted mountains at night.
"Your Majesty, are you unjust? I only heard from Xiao Zi that there was a beautiful flower growing beside the pond on the palace wall. I wanted to add some beauty to the palace, so I dug up the flower on my own initiative! Servant
I really don’t know that these flowers and plants are poisonous?” The frightened Xiao Zhi suddenly figured it out. He couldn’t be an unjust ghost like this. Even if he died, he would have to clear up his grievances and restore his innocence.
body.
Ye Wange sneered again after hearing this. The coldness that came from his bones made the hot summer season as cold as the cold winter in the twelfth lunar month, making people gnash their teeth.
"Are you in the same group as Xiao Zi?" Ye Wange leaned forward while leaning on the bed, with her upper body hanging out of the bed. She stuck her head out and looked at the little ruler and asked.
"No!" Xiao Zhizi immediately denied that he and Xiao Zi had nothing to do with each other. How could he and Xiao Zi be considered one and the same?
"Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Ye Wange ignored his excuse and asked him directly who was instigating him.
Hearing Ye Wange's inquiry, Xiao Zhi's heart hurt as if a sharp arrow had penetrated him. He looked at Ye Wange with tears in his eyes, and crawled towards Ye Wange with his limp body on the ground, "Mother, although I am a humble servant,
There is no self-respect or trustworthiness, but a slave is a person who does his duty and keeps his own integrity, and is definitely not a treacherous person who can play tricks and use tricks."
Ye Wange looked at the murderer on the ground, and said with kindness in return, "Xiao Zhizi, as long as you hand over the antidote, I will let you live and not pursue this matter."
Xiaozhi felt cold in his heart when he heard Ye Wange accuse him of murdering her. Ye Wange didn't believe his explanation at all.
Xiao Zhizi knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Ye Wange three times and said, "My Lady, whether you believe it or not, I have never done anything to harm you. I don't know this poisonous weed, and I have no antidote.
The reason why the slave dug it back was because Xiao Zi said that this grass blooms beautifully at night.
Xiao Zi said that it would bloom purple flowers at night and emit blue light, making the whole room dazzling, so the slave brought it back. If the empress does not believe it, she can ask Xiao Zi to confront the slave.
"
"I'll go get that girl Xiaozi." Xiaodie couldn't help but said.
"Stop, no one is allowed to leave this room without my order." Ye Wange scolded, the poison in her body was exactly what the enemy wanted, how could she let this news get out.
Ye Wange thought that no matter whether the poison on her body could be cured or not, she would have to guard against her poisoning. If it could be cured, it would be good. If she couldn't cure it, she would have to give it a try and find a way to die together with Nangong Ao and Shen Ruhui.
Xiaodie looked at Ye Wange in confusion. Why didn't you arrest the bad guy Xiao Zi when all the evil spirits were destroyed?
Seeing the scene in front of him, Song Qisheng said, "Empress, please leave this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
After hearing this, Ye Wange immediately turned gloomy, "The current plan is not to punish these slaves, but to detoxify my body. Does Dr. Song have any method?"
Song Qisheng shook his head and replied, "It would be better to ask this slave to hand over the antidote."
Ye Wange closed her eyes in disappointment after hearing this, then raised her eyelids and said, "Xiao Zhi, ever since I moved into Wanxin Palace, I have treated you well. No matter if you are ordered by others for money or other reasons, as long as you pay
If you find the antidote, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and send someone to escort you out of the palace safely so that you can escape from this wrong place."
Ye Wange offered benefits. She wanted Xiao Zhizi to hand over the antidote. After hearing this, Xiao Zhizi opened his mouth and replied anxiously, "Mother, I really don't have any antidote. I don't even know this poisonous weed. How can I have an antidote?"
The medicine is gone.
The slave is willing to ask the empress to call Xiao Zi to confront the slave in order to clear the slave's innocence."
Seeing that Xiao Zhi was so harsh, Ye Wange stretched out her hand and lifted the thin quilt on her body and got out of bed. Xiaodie immediately stepped forward to support her. When Song Qisheng saw him, he immediately looked away and did not dare to look at Ye Wange who was not wearing outer clothes.
Ye Wange put on the purple-red outer clothes that Xiao Die handed over, dragged the long skirt and walked a few steps, walked to Xiao Zhi, looked at him with evil eyes and said, "You say you are unjust?"
"Yes," Xiao Zhizi replied, trembling.
Ye Wange raised her eyebrows after hearing this and said, "Unjustly accused? That girl Xiaozi tried to harm me over and over again. You were ordered by him to bring these poisonous flowers and plants into my house. If you say you are unjustly accused, how do you expect me to believe you?"
"
Xiao Zhizi was shocked when he heard that Xiao Zi wanted to kill the empress, and he had become her helper invisibly. He knew this and was so angry that he said, "Please spare my life, I don't know what Xiao Zi's intention is."
The evil intention is to harm the empress, and the servant does not know that the vicious maid will use the slave's hands to harm the empress.
I will go and capture that girl right now and ask her to hand over the antidote."
"Whoa!" Ye Wange took out a dagger from her sleeve. She stretched out her hand and put the sharp dagger on Xiao Zhi's neck and said, "Believe it or not, I will kill you with one knife?"
Xiao Zhi shrank his neck and tried to hide away, but as soon as he shrank his neck, the muscles on his neck came into contact with the cold and biting dagger. He was so frightened that he stretched his neck again, nodded and cried, "I believe it, your Majesty is going to do it."
The slave's life should be dedicated with both hands, but I have one thing to ask for. Please ask the empress to find out the truth after the slave's death and restore my innocence."
Ye Wange was not a ruthless person. After hearing Xiao Zhi's heartfelt words before his death, she moved the hand holding the dagger and took the sharp dagger farther away from Xiao Zhi's neck.
"Xiao Zhizi, are you really not in the same group as Xiao Zi?" Ye Wange asked doubtfully.
Xiao Zhizi shook his head, "No! I had no idea that Xiao Zi wanted to murder the empress!"
Xiao Zhi, whose face was so frightened that he looked earth-colored, looked at Ye Wange's fierce expression and said that he was relieved.
"Didn't you tell a lie?" Ye Wange stared at him with a pair of discerning eyes, making Xiao Zhi's hair stand on end.
"Every word I tell is true, but if there is even half a lie, I will let the sky thunder and split the body into pieces." Xiao Zhizi swore a poisonous oath in order to convince Ye Wange of his innocence.
Listening to Little Ruler's poisonous oath, Ye Wange looked at Song Qisheng, who was studying the poisonous weed. Ye Wange held on to his weak body and walked up to Song Qisheng and whispered a few words.
Song Qisheng's expression changed, and he whispered back a few words. Ye Wange nodded and walked to Xiao Zhizi and asked, "Xiao Zhizi, you said you are loyal to me, how can I trust you?"
When Xiao Zhizi heard this, Ye Wange immediately said that he had no intention of killing him, "I am willing to devote myself to the death of my empress." He said this swornly, but he did not think that this was a trap.
"Yeah! Good!" Ye Wange praised loudly, and then Ye Wange said, "You are so caring to me, and I am grateful. Now that I am suffering from a severe poison, my life and death are unknown. In order to show your sincerity to me, in order to prove that you
