While pacing, Liu Mingzhi told Qinglian in detail what happened when he was in contact with Li Ye in Qinzheng Hall.
After burning the incense, Young Master Liu stopped and sat on a chair. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of warm tea, drinking it in one gulp to moisturize his dry throat.
"Lian'er, based on what my husband said, can you analyze what kind of voodoo may be present in His Majesty's body?"
Qinglian gently rubbed her forehead and began to think. After a long time, Qinglian slightly shook her head at Liu Dashao with a hint of apology in her beautiful eyes.
"Heart-Eating Gu is also considered to be the best among the Gu insects in Miao territory. A Gu insect that can make Heart-Eating Gu panic is absolutely extraordinary."
"Especially after the Heart-Eating Gu drank the essence and blood of the little dragon, its body was contaminated with the aura of the little dragon's king of Gu insects. There are even fewer Gu insects that can scare it."
"Holy Heart Gu, Hundred Poison Gu, Hundred Foot Gu... Once kept for a long time, the Heart-Eating Gu will feel panicked."
"I can't touch His Majesty, so I dare not say what kind of poisonous bugs are planted in his body."
"The art of voodoo is almost the same as the art of medicine. Pharmacy emphasizes one person's approach, and voodoos are also treated one at a time. If you can't figure out what kind of voodoo is in your majesty's ear, hastily removing the vood will not solve your majesty's crisis.
On the contrary, it may put His Majesty's life in immediate danger."
"Especially if the person who breeds the poisonous insects is hiding beside His Majesty. If the poisonous insects are hurriedly removed without knowing the situation clearly, once the poisonous insects move, if the poisonous insects cannot be removed immediately, it will definitely attract the attention of the person who planted the poisonous insects, thus alerting the snake."
"I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous and will run counter to my husband's wishes!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded solemnly: "In that case, it seems that you have to do it yourself, Lian'er. In three days, my husband will find a way to bring you to His Majesty. Then you can act according to the situation and see if you can
Find out what kind of worm is in your majesty’s body.”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my husband to marry me."
"His Majesty's life is in the hands of thieves. He can only be controlled by enemies hidden in the dark, and if my husband wants to take action, he will be hindered everywhere."
"What does the queen want to do?"
"Taking hold of the emperor to command the princes? If this is the plan, the time when Wei Husband and the Six Guards of the Northern Territory are fighting against the Jin Kingdom and the Turks is the best opportunity for her to take action."
"As long as she had control of His Majesty, she had every chance to evade the entire court and install all the people she and the people behind her had, but she just didn't do that."
"Does she think the time is not yet ripe to take action? But once the national war is over and the army returns to the court, she will never find a better opportunity than this time."
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but think of the heart-wrenching remarks made by Queen Ren Qingrui in the imperial court, as well as the words said to him by the three princesses in the just room.
Could it be that what Ren Qingrui did was not for the sake of those rights above the court, but to force him to rebel against himself?
First, he ordered his father to consume the money in the treasury in the name of repairing the imperial mausoleum, thus cutting off the source of the army's food and grass supply.
The Northern Expedition that he had been planning for a long time failed in the middle, and he must have been furious and returned to Beijing filled with anger. At this time, Ren Qingrui tried to alienate the relationship between himself and Li Ye.
"The king forces the minister to rebel? The minister has no choice but to rebel?"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes narrowed, and the tea cup in his hand was directly broken into pieces.
Qinglian who was standing aside saw this, her pretty face was startled and she hurried over, grabbed her husband's hand and looked at it. She was relieved when she saw that there was no wound on her husband's hand.
Picking up the copper basin and wiping the scraps from her husband's hands, Qinglian looked at her husband's frowning and uncertain eyes, feeling a little distressed in her heart.
I remember that when I first met my husband, he was still a heartless and careless playboy.
At that time, I didn't have any good impressions of such a playboy who was indifferent to work and food, but now I really hope that my husband can return to the way he was before.
Worry less and live a happy and leisurely life with your sisters carelessly.
Today's husband is so tired from living, and it makes me feel so sad to see him.
Sighing silently, Qinglian slowly walked to Liu Mingzhi and stretched out her hand, raised her jade fingers and gently pressed them on Liu Mingzhi's forehead and kneaded it.
"Husband, stop thinking about it. After I help His Majesty deal with the poisonous insects on your body, you can let go and do it."
"When the real culprit behind the scenes is found, everything will be revealed."
"If you find out the real culprit behind the scenes, the truth will be revealed. You are right. As long as you find the real culprit, the truth will be revealed."
"But if the person behind the scenes is..."
Young Master Liu's voice became inaudible later on, and Qinglian couldn't hear anything even when she was close to her husband's face.
"Husband, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly!"
Liu Mingzhi stood up slowly and shook his head silently: "It's nothing. Just prepare yourself first and follow your husband to the palace in three days."
"Well, I don't have anything to prepare. As long as Xiaolong is here and the opportunity is good, taking out the Gu worms from Your Majesty's body is nothing at all."
"That's very good. You can continue to mend clothes with Feng'er, and go out for a walk first for your husband."
"Well, I understand. Husband, you must be more open-minded and don't keep everything in your heart."
"Husband, I understand, I'm leaving first."
"I won't give it to you anymore."
Young Master Liu had just left Qinglian's courtyard when he heard the chirping laughter of sisters Liu Yaoyao and Liu Yiyi.
"Grandpa, was my father really so naughty when he was a child?"
"Of course. Your father has been saying that your brothers are naughty all day long. When he was a child, he was even more naughty than Chengfeng and the others. If grandpa hadn't pulled him, your grandma would have almost beaten your father to death."
Young Master Liu followed the sound and saw the sisters holding candied haws in their hands, jumping around and asking questions about Liu Zhi'an and his wife, with curious expressions on their pretty faces.
Liu Zhi'an and his wife were accompanied by several servants holding large and small boxes. They had obviously just returned from buying New Year's goods.
"Old man, please stop gossiping about me behind my back. When I was young, I was a well-known honest man from all over the country. Please don't accuse someone of his innocence out of thin air and ruin my glorious image in the eyes of the children."
Liu Zhi'an subconsciously looked at Young Master Liu, looked at the dog-like Young Master Liu standing under the corridor, and sneered twice.
"Brilliant image? Just you? Bah!"
Mrs. Liu shook her head helplessly and gave the father and son a roll of their eyes: "Can't you two just calm down?"
"Yiyi, Feifei, Yaoyao, take your little sister Yunxin and grandma back to the room, so you don't have to stay with these two heartless guys for too long and turn into a fool."
The sisters laughed playfully and led Liu Yunxin, who was not walking very smoothly, and followed Mrs. Liu towards the inner courtyard.
Young Master Liu hesitated for a moment, then greeted Liu Zhi'an with a playful smile.
"Old man, let's discuss something!"
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows and looked at Young Master Liu up and down: "If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either cheating or stealing. Say what you want first, and then I will consider whether to agree or not."
Young Master Liu scratched his forehead in embarrassment, looked around a few times, put his arm around Liu Zhian's shoulders, and walked towards the corner.
The father and son stopped. Young Master Liu rubbed his palms with a smile, and laughed while looking at Liu Zhi'an's blank eyes.
"Old man, do you have anything in your hand that can make a man regain his eighteen-year-old youth?"
Liu Zhi'an was confused for a moment, and suddenly realized when he looked at Mr. Liu's wretched little face.
"Oh Nope..........."
"I am loyal, honest, and kind-hearted. How could I have such a thing? You asked the wrong person!"
Young Master Liu gave Liu Zhian a playful expression and nudged him with his elbow: "Come on, my mother is getting more and more beautiful than before. She is just like an eighteen-year-old flower. Do you dare to say that she is not yours?"
Credit.”
"You are so old, and my mother is a martial arts practitioner, so there will always be times when you are unable to do what you want."
"Man! I understand you, there's no shame in it."
Liu Zhi'an pinched his nose angrily: "That's because your mother has great skills and good looks. What does it have to do with me? I have been cultivating my mind recently and am not close to women, so naturally I won't have those things.
"
"Really? Raise your hand and let me search you. If you can't find it, I will believe you."
Liu Zhi'an subconsciously took a step back, his face stiffened as he looked at Young Master Liu's playful eyes.
"Then what...then what, Mingli has been in poor health recently. As a young man, he has a thin skin and is unwilling to buy these things in person, so he asked me to bring some back to him.
I haven’t had time to give it to him yet!”
"So that's it. Poor parents in the world, you are such a good dad."
"The two ladies in Mingli can't stand it anymore. This young master probably has ten at least. Ordinary medicines probably won't be of much use."
"Old man, you are well-informed and have great magical powers. Can you use your connections to get me something that is powerful and exciting?"
Liu Zhi'an hissed and scratched his chin with a weird look on his face: "There are some overpowering and stimulating things. Sai Huatuo got them from his uncle. I haven't...
.Um... Mingli hasn't tried it yet, so I don't know how effective it is!"
"But first tell me which type you prefer, powder or potion?"
Liu Mingzhi licked the corner of his mouth: "I have seen those things before, but they are of no use. Is there anything more novel, such as the legendary elixir?"
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with light, and he looked at Mr. Liu happily.
"You are very well-informed. What Saihua Tuo gave me...and asked me to hand over to Mingli are pills. You have a lot of wives, how about you try the medicine first?"
"Heroes see the same thing, where are the things?"
Liu Zhi'an smiled, turned around and carried Young Master Liu on his back, clasping the rope in his arms, and then threw a porcelain bottle to Young Master Liu.
"You'd better be prepared, Saihua Tuo said this thing is not ordinary."
Liu Mingzhi took the porcelain bottle and opened the cork and looked at it. A strong medicinal fragrance hit his nostrils.
Young Master Liu looked at a thumb-sized pill in the bottle and glanced at Liu Zhian.
"This is the elixir? You can't eat dead people, right? I haven't lived enough yet, right?"
Liu Zhi'an chuckled and patted Young Master Liu on the shoulder and walked slowly toward the inner courtyard.
"Tiger poison does not eat its seeds. You are my son. How could I harm you? Just eat it. I guarantee you will still want it after you eat it."
Looking at Liu Zhi'an's back, Liu Mingzhi lowered his head to look at the elixir in his hand, leaning on the pillar and looking at the snowy scene in the courtyard, his eyes gradually became darker.
You are my son, how could I harm you?
At the archway of the inner courtyard, Liu Zhi'an looked back at Young Master Liu who was leaning on the imperial pillar, and walked slowly towards the inner courtyard with a faint smile.
You bastard, you've all been tricked by me.
It's just that you are still too young.
When all doubts point to one person, and you follow the guidance of others' eyes and put your mind on this person.
You have already lost.
That night.
Another sudden heavy snowfall fell in the sky.
"Yun'er, Sister Ya, Lian'er, Qing Shi, Wei'er, Shan'er, you all spend more time traveling around the world than your husband. Judging from your experience, is this a pill?"
"Do you think there is such a thing as a pill in the world?"
Suddenly there were curious discussions from several women in the room.
It's just that after a long time, we haven't discussed and come up with a reason.
"Stop arguing. There will be no results after arguing for a long time. I will know after I try it!"
"Husband, no, the pill is highly poisonous and will kill you if you eat it!"
"That's right, husband, please don't be impulsive and put yourself in danger."
"Husband, what are you doing for this? Are elixirs so important to you? Why do you keep pursuing these things?"
"You don't understand. I think the old man won't harm me. It's just a pill! What's the big deal!"
"Husband, I don't want it!"
"Husband, spit it out quickly."
"Husband... Husband... you have a nosebleed."
"Husband...husband...husband, your face is so red."
"Hot..........Hot......This young master is so hot......"
The night was dark and the snow was falling heavily.
In the inner courtyard of the Liu Mansion, the sound of tearing cloth can be heard endlessly, mixed with charming and moving notes.
It adds a bit of distinctive color to the quiet snowy night.
