Chapter 225 Fox Tail

"You...you go away! Go away..." The Duke of England rubbed his head in pain.

Even though his eyes were already hallucinating at this moment, he still remembered in his heart that the person who just appeared here was not his wife, so how could it suddenly become her?

This must be a conspiracy! But at this moment, his body became restless uncontrollably. Facing Li Ji who took the initiative to rush over, he seemed to be on fire, and Li Ji was like a lake. As long as he jumped, he could relieve the pain at this moment.

"Duke..." Li Ji's charming voice once again hit the bottom line of the Duke of England.

"Father!" At this moment, Pei Jingchuan's familiar voice came.

Pei Jingchuan's voice, like thunder from a clear sky, rang over the Duke of England's head, followed by Li Ji's scream as she was kicked away.

"Jingchuan... hurry... hurry and save me!" Duke Yingguo looked at Pei Jingchuan in pain with red eyes. He really felt that he was about to be ruined.

At this time, Doctor Xuan, who came with them, hurried forward from behind, took out a pill and stuffed it into the Duke of England's mouth.

"Duke!" Li Ji was grabbed and pressed to the ground, looking at Pei Jingchuan and the others in shock.

"Tie her up for me!" Pei Jingchuan ordered sternly.

After a while, the Duke of England gradually calmed down, looked at Li Ji angrily, and said, "Tell me... who told you to do this!"

Now that the woman has been forced to reveal her true colors, he doesn't want to pretend anymore.

But Li Ji would not admit it, her face was full of tears, she cried and shook her head and said: "My Lord, I didn't do anything! You suddenly got into trouble and wanted to touch me. You are my savior, I will not refuse you, my Lord, you can do whatever you want, but I really did nothing!"

"Don't admit it yet!" the Duke of England shouted angrily.

He didn't expect that Li Ji could still lie at this time. He had just been like that, as if he had been poisoned. Otherwise, how could he...right! Chinese medicine? He didn't take anything and didn't smell any incense? What was going on?

Thinking of this, Duke Ying looked at Doctor Xuan in confusion and asked, "I didn't eat anything just now, why do I need Chinese medicine?"

Doctor Xuan then explained to the Duke: "It's the sachet on her body. If you come into contact with it for a long time, it will make you poisoned. We all took the antidote before we came here, so we are fine. What you just took is also the antidote."

"I see," the Duke nodded upon hearing this.

At this time, Li Ji on the ground noticed the mysterious doctor who was speaking, and realized that it was the old man she had bumped into on the road earlier. She looked at him in astonishment, and for a moment, she forgot her identity and accidentally revealed it.

"It's you! You discovered my secret from the very beginning, and it was you who leaked it!" Li Ji said to Doctor Xuan.

No wonder Pei Jingchuan and the others came over at this time. It turned out that it was this old man who discovered something unusual and notified them! If she had known this, she should have killed this old man just now! At this moment, she regretted it very much.

"You finally admitted it! Tell me... who sent you here?" Pei Jingchuan said harshly again, looking at her dangerously.

Li Ji's body trembled, and she realized that she had been exposed. However, it was only for a short moment. She still smiled triumphantly and said, "Aren't you very capable? Can't you guess who sent me?"

Of course, they had guessed it, but Prince Shuo's status was so noble that if they directly said that it was Prince Shuo who ordered it, they would inevitably be accused of slandering Prince Shuo. That's why they came to interrogate Li Ji and wanted her to reveal Prince Shuo.

However, looking at Li Ji's attitude, it was obvious that this woman would not admit it so easily. After realizing this, Pei Jingchuan was planning to have Li Ji taken away and tortured her with various methods to make her confess voluntarily.

But what he didn't expect was that before he could do anything, a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of Li Ji's mouth.

"Oh no, she took poison!" the guard exclaimed upon seeing this.

"Divine Doctor, can you please see if you can prevent her from dying!" Xu Qingyan looked at Divine Doctor Xuan anxiously.

Doctor Xuan hurried forward to check, then shook his head helplessly and said, "It's too late. She took a deadly poison. Even gods can't save her."

"It's all my fault for being too careless. This woman must be a assassin. The person behind her is so cruel!" Pei Jingchuan sighed angrily.

He was confused. He should have checked whether Li Ji had hidden any drugs from the beginning. Prince Shuo was more cunning than the King of Qin and his men. The people he sent were all loyal warriors. In this way, they would not be able to find any evidence at all.

But at this time, Xu Qingyan stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Husband, don't blame yourself, we still have a chance."

"What opportunity?" Pei Jingchuan looked at her curiously.

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "Li Ji, how could a girl who sells night incense in the backyard find the Duke's place? Where did she get this sachet? There must be an insider. Now that she is dead, do you think the insider will be anxious? When she goes to meet the person behind this, we will do another..."

Xu Qingyan hadn't finished her words yet, but Pei Jingchuan had already understood them.

On the other hand, Li Ji's death was not concealed. They announced to the palace that Li Ji had bad intentions and intended to murder the Duke, but she was executed after being discovered.

Xu Qingyue also learned the news soon, and secretly regretted that Li Ji was incompetent. After the plan failed, she left the Duke's Mansion under the pretext of going out to buy rouge.

Xu Qingyan and the others soon learned the news and followed immediately.

Xu Qingyue came to Prince Shuo's mansion and told Prince Shuo everything. He was furious and asked, "You said Li Ji was dead? She just died like that? Did she say anything?"

"Probably not. I haven't heard that the Duke and others suspected anyone else. They only said that Li Ji had bad intentions." After hearing this, Xu Qingyue shook her head and denied it.

"Waste! How could this happen!" Prince Shuo shouted angrily, and threw the pillows on the bed to the ground in anger.

"Your Highness, Li Ji is gone. So, what should we do next?" Xu Qingyue picked up the pillow on the ground obediently and gently put it back next to Prince Shuo's hand.

Prince Shuo's nose twitched slightly, and he asked curiously, "What did you put on your body today? It smells really good."

"Ah? Your Majesty, do you think this smells good?" Xu Qingyue said shyly.

When she went out today, the Duke's Mansion sent incense to each of their courtyards, and changed to a new variety. When she smelled it for the first time, she liked it very much. She didn't expect that when she came to Prince Shuo's Mansion, she would be praised by the violent and capricious Prince Shuo because of this.

"Hmm! It smells really good, really nice..." Prince Shuo got closer and closer, his eyes closed, breathing deeply, and he could only feel the fragrance of Xu Qingyue, which made him feel comfortable all over. It had been a long time since he had felt this way. Slowly, he pushed Xu Qingyue down on the bed.

After a while, Xu Qingyue's charming shouting could be heard from the room. The servants and maids outside couldn't help blushing when they heard the sound.
