"Second, the emperor punished King Zhao and ordered him to be banned from the palace, but why did he send people to guard outside the palace to 'monitor' day and night? It is better to say 'monitoring' than to 'protect'. Why should we protect King Zhao?
?Are you trying to prevent anyone from approaching King Zhao?"
"Thirdly, Yan Tinglian escaped from prison, and the entire criminal department almost entered a state of first-level alert. All soldiers searched the streets, but until now, Yan Tinglian has not been found. If she is just a weak woman, there is no way she can escape
These three days of searches? It can only show that either Yan Tinglian is good, or there is an agent of hers in this city."
"The fourth is the attitude of Concubine Hu. After I returned to the palace, I have been thinking about it. I burned down Prince Zhao's palace, made a big fuss in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, reconciled with Prince Zhao, and made him suffer a slap in the face, lose his money, and ban him.
That's enough, but the imperial concubine did nothing else except verbally humiliate me."
"Based on the above four points, my suspicion can basically be established. Yan Tinglian is not just a concubine of King Zhao? Isn't it?"
Xiao Mingxuan really didn't expect that Luo Jiuli was clear-cut and well-reasoned, yet decisive in killing and as noble and cold as him, so he had to look at Luo Jiuli with admiration again.
This woman really brings him some unexpected surprises every time.
Luo Jiuli saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, but his eyes showed approval, but he didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to tell me what happened now?"
She pouted, a little angry.
Xiao Mingxuan didn't know why, but when he saw her pouting her little mouth, his mood suddenly became much lighter.
"Tell me first, do you have any way to remind Wang Xiaoliu of what happened in the prison of the Criminal Department?"
Luo Jiuli finally understood why he stretched her.
"My lord, has anyone ever said that you are cunning? You are as cunning as a fox."
Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and pondered, not caring at all about her evaluation of himself as cunning as a fox.
"It seems that you have a solution!"
Luo Jiuli put his hand on his forehead.
Sure enough! He is indeed an old fox Xiao who is as cunning as a fox.
"I want to say that there is nothing I can do? Does the prince want to negotiate terms with me again?"
Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said:
"No, but without your help, I might have stayed up for several more nights."
The tone of his words made Luo Jiuli sense a sense of grievance.
Isn't it his job to stay up all night?
Xiao Mingxuan saw that she was silent and knew that there was no point in hiding it from her anymore, so he spoke.
"About Yan Tinglian, your suspicion is correct."
"Yan Tinglian is not just a concubine of King Zhao. I suspect that she is from Sangnan country?"
"Sang Nanguo?"
Luo Jiuli's expression changed as he recalled the memories in his mind.
In this continent, in addition to the Changning Dynasty, the largest inland country, there are also the Sangnan Kingdom in the south and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the east. There are also two small border countries, the Bahrain Kingdom in the west and Beixiang in the north, which is attached to the Changning Dynasty.
Naturally, Beixiang and Bahrain did not dare to become enemies of the Changning Dynasty, but Nasangnan Kingdom did not change its mind and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty stationed troops on the border, so a war could start at any time.
Therefore, the world is not peaceful, and may even be turbulent at any time.
If what Xiao Mingxuan said is true.
Then this Yan Tinglian is the masterpiece of Sang Nanguo.
Xiao Mingxuan saw the darkness on her face and knew what she must be thinking about. He did not ask any questions, but continued:
"Many men in Sangnan Kingdom practice voodoo, while women mostly practice bewitching. This Yan Tinglian, I suspect that she is a woman who practices bewitching, but I cannot rule out that she also has voodoo poison in her body."
"Think about that day in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, when King Zhao suddenly went crazy and almost strangled you to death. He even attacked the Duke's wife. Isn't that abnormal?"
On the side, Luo Jiuli completely understood. Although she didn't quite understand what the charm technique was, she knew about the Gu technique.
In her previous life, among her research topics, she specifically studied Xiangxi Miao Gu.
Most science believes that the poison of Xiangxi Miao Gu is actually some kind of neurotoxin, or similar to rabies virus, or parasitic disease, etc., which is designed to kill the nerves.
But she has never really come into contact with voodoo, let alone whether the voodoo of this era is the same as the Miao voodoo in western Hunan.
"It seems that King Zhao was not only bewitched by Yan Tinglian's charm, but was also poisoned?"
Luo Jiuli rolled his eyes.
Xiao Mingxuan's expression darkened. He thought she still cared about King Zhao, but unexpectedly, she said something else.
"Let's talk about it first! I can't solve the charm and poison. No matter whether King Zhao is dead or alive, don't come to me."
Xiao Mingxuan was startled, but he nodded without any hesitation.
"Don't worry, King Zhao will have someone to treat you. He won't look for you."
"But Wang Xiaoliu is the only witness. I want to know what happened in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment at that time?"
How Yan Tinglian used charm to seduce Wang Xiaoliu.
Luo Jiuli lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Okay, I can try, but I can't guarantee that it will succeed. If it fails, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"Just try."
With that said, the two of them entered the dormitory one after another.
In the bedroom, Luo Jiuli asked Qin Yin to take out the large glazed lamp, then changed it to a small dim lamp, and opened the lampshade. The wick inside was glowing with a faint white smoke in the air.
"Your Majesty, I need the entire courtyard to remain absolutely quiet."
"Qin Yin, go."
Xiao Mingxuan agreed to her without any hesitation.
"yes."
Qin Yin turned around and went out, guarding the door himself.
Luo Jiuli placed a chair at a suitable location in front of the table, and then ordered Wang Xiaoliu to sit on the chair.
Let him find a free and comfortable position, relax his body, and then fix his eyes on the flame in the dimness, staring at it until Wang Xiaoliu slowly closed his eyes, staying happy, relaxed, and letting his consciousness drift as he pleased.
.
"Now, take three deep, quick breaths through your nose."
Luo Jiuli sat opposite Wang Xiaoliu, his voice gentle but unquestionable.
Xiao Mingxuan sat aside and watched calmly, although he didn't understand what she was doing! But since he had used her, he couldn't doubt her at this time.
"Now, without thinking about anything or doing anything, repeat inhaling and exhaling three times quickly."
Luo Jiuli's voice sounded.
"Continue, think about nothing, and repeat three deep breaths again, inhale and exhale quickly."
Repeating three rapid and continuous deep breaths may make people feel slightly unstable, but the consciousness will calm down and the brain will become receptive to suggestive thoughts.
"Now, relax your whole body and relax your cheeks."
"Your arms and hands become heavy. Put your hands on the armrests."
