The extravagant sedan headed towards the Privy Council from the Waiting Gate.

Just when we arrived at Liudu Bridge, someone came over and reported in a low voice to the sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, this is news from Mr. Dong."

"Speak carefully."

"... King Zhong presented the elixir to the officials, but the officials only took it, smelled it, and asked King Zhong to take it. King Zhong also refused to take it, and when he couldn't refuse it, Princess Rui came to look at her and said:

It’s for Li Xia.”

"As expected." Jia Sidao chuckled.

But he was in a bad mood, and his smile lost its usual calmness.

"At that time, Prince Zhong even asked, 'Who is Li Xia?' and was scolded by the officials. But at this time, Prince Zhong had already arrived at Li Xia's house..."

Jia Sidao waved his hand and cursed himself.

"Clumsy."

He let the sedan go on and closed his eyes, but what he thought of was still Wu Qian's words.

Why are you angry?

Because I miscalculated again, I really didn't calculate Li Xia's methods.

It's not that Jia Sidao isn't smart enough, it's that Li Xia jumped outside everyone's rules.

So, he came to Wu Qian with the rules, as if he was complaining.

"Wu Qian, you are the most disciplined. Come and see, Li Xia won disgracefully this time..."

In the end, Wu Qian's words seemed like a slap in the face.

Wu Qian would rather betray his lifelong reputation of loyalty and humiliate Jia Sidao...

Thinking about this all the way, when he arrived at the Privy Council, Jia Sidao ordered someone to summon his confidant Liu Zongshen.

"I'll give you a promotion and make you the magistrate of Xunzhou."

"Thank you for your kindness!"

"After arriving in Xunzhou, treat Wu Qian well. I will show him..."

Halfway through the conversation, Jia Sidao fell silent, waved his hand and said, "You go ahead and talk later."

Rarely, he felt hesitant.

What should Wu Qian see?

Let him see himself reviving the Song Dynasty? Wu Qian did not live so long.

Let him see that he has surrendered to Li Xia and practiced good governance in public lands?

Whether to kill or tame Li Xia, the cricket, has now become a question that needs to be carefully considered.

If he really killed King Rong, it would not be a cricket that could be used for fighting, but a poisonous insect that could sting...

Quan Yongjian quickly walked into the hall and said: "Prince Zhong has gone to Li Xia's mansion. He wants to give the panacea to Li Xia!"

Quan Jiu was sewing mourning clothes. Hearing this, he stopped and thought for a while.

"I can't figure it out...what are the details?"

"I don't know." Quan Yongjian said, "I only know that Prince Zhong entered the palace and then went straight to Li Xia's residence."

Quan Jiu became more and more puzzled and murmured: "After much thought, from the standpoint of loyalty to the king, the only explanation...maybe he wanted to kill Li Xia with his own hands?"

Quan Yongjian was stunned.

"Will it? It shouldn't be..."

"I think it is a loyal act to the king, it is difficult to judge by common sense."

Quan Yongjian nodded and thought to himself, how could a fool think so much.

"I've sent people to investigate. There will be news soon."

"Um."

The brother and sister listened to the mourning in the distance and waited for the news of Li Xia's death.

After a long time, someone finally came running quickly.

Quan Yongjian stood up suddenly.

"died?"

The visitor was stunned, opened his mouth, and was speechless.

"Quickly tell me, Li Xia is dead?"

"Dalang...Zhong...His Royal Highness Prince Zhong...rescued Li Xia..."

Quan Jiu mixed her hands, and the silver needle pricked her fingertips, causing blood to flow out.

She seemed unaware...

After a while, Quan Yongjian's face gradually became clear in front of him.

"Huh? This is what you said, you want me to listen to you?"

"Brother...brother, if you don't believe me..."

Quan Jiu was finally a little confused, but she was stunned for a moment and regained the key points.

"No, Li Xia is alive. The next person he wants to kill is his brother."

Quan Yongjian was stunned and suddenly felt a sense of fear.

I don't know how long it took, but a servant came in a hurry.

"Dalang, Mr. Jia has come to express his condolences. He also said that he wanted to visit the Yaopuchi. Princess Qian cannot bring Mr. Jia there, so please go and accompany him."

Quan Jiu was shocked again and suddenly stood up and grabbed Quan Yongjian.

"Brother, find a way for me to meet Mr. Jia..."

~~

Jia Sidao walked past Yaopu Pond, turned around and looked at the whole family of brothers and sisters dressed in filial piety.

"Sister Jiu, please tell me your inference?"

"There is no inference." Quan Jiu said: "I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe that King Rong died of illness. This matter is man-made. Li Xia is the most suspicious and capable. This matter is not difficult to guess."

"But it could also be the Fourth Princess?" Jia Sidao asked.

Quanjiu lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

Jia Sidao took a few steps and then said: "The Imperial City Department has investigated Li Xia, but there is no evidence. The fourth princess has not been investigated. Even the officials are sure that she is the fourth princess, and she even admitted it."

Quanjiu couldn't answer.

Jia Sidao added: "If it was Li Xia, how did he do it? Prince Rong's palace was heavily guarded, so it was impossible for him to do it."

"I... don't know, but I always feel that it was him."

"Why?"

Quan Jiu still couldn't answer. She put her hands on her waist and maintained her solemn posture, but she was a little stubborn.

Quan Yongjian said: "Jia Xianggong, don't pay attention to her. This little girl has no reason at all. It's all based on wild guesses."

Jia Sidao nodded slightly.

Quan Jiu didn't infer it at all. She had no information and no complete deduction.

She just settled on the most suspicious person and refused to look at other deceptions.

Why?

Because the whole family and the Li family have been in a fight to the death?

Or is it because Li Xia is too outstanding?

"I'm afraid they all have it." Jia Sidao whispered to himself.

"What is Mr. Jia talking about?"

"There is no evidence, so it's better not to make a conclusion first." Jia Sidao lowered his head and said, "Did you find it? The grass is soft. If you and I talk to each other and someone comes from behind, we can do it silently."

"Yes." Quan Yongjian said, "However, the person opposite can see it."

"Yes." Jia Sidao said leisurely: "I can't figure it out..."

~~

"I think it's because King Rong has been ranked among the immortals, so God gave His Highness King Zhong the elixir."

"I'm ashamed that my flawless body actually swallowed such a magical medicine. I'm ashamed..."
