In the guest room where the queen was temporarily staying, Sang Qi handed over a small paper bag.
"What is this?" The queen frowned slightly.
"This is a strange poison from the Western Regions." Sang Qi lowered his voice.
"A strange poison from the Western Regions!?" the Queen said word by word.
[Woqu, awesome.]
Xia Miaoyuan had fallen asleep, but when he heard the noise he sat up from the bed.
When she heard the words "Western Region Strange Poison", she instantly lost all sleepiness.
"Once a person is poisoned by this, he will appear confused and dazed," Sang Qi continued.
"To outsiders, it looks like I'm sick, and it's getting worse."
"The most terrifying thing is that doctors can't tell it's poisoning after taking my pulse. They usually prescribe medicine based on the illness."
"If someone is poisoned by this strange poison from the Western Regions, they will die within four months."
After listening to Sang Qi's story, the queen felt cold sweat on her back.
Sangqi is a specially trained female guard who has followed the queen since she was not married.
One of the teachers who taught Sang Qi martial arts was a knight who had been wandering the world for decades.
Therefore, Sang Qi knew a lot of strange things in the world.
[How shameless! They gave my aunt such a vicious and sinister drug!]
Xia Miaoyuan cursed fiercely in his heart.
After a while, Sang Qi called Xiao Licheng over.
"Look, this is the reason why Ru'er suddenly fell ill." The queen said, handing the small paper bag to Xiao Licheng.
Afterwards, the queen briefly talked about the characteristics of the strange poison in the Western Regions.
With a "bang", Xiao Licheng's fist hit the table.
Although he had learned in advance from his niece's thoughts that his wife's illness was caused by a spy from the Liang State, he still couldn't help but lose control of his anger when he saw the poison the spy had given her.
"I saved them and took them in with good intentions, but they treated me like this!" Xiao Licheng lowered his voice and said viciously.
[Hey, are you okay? Third uncle. I'm a spy for the Liang State. I specialize in this.]
【Can you please be more rational?! 】
Seeing his uncle's angry look, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but complain.
"You poisoned my wife and set me up!"
"I'm going to kill those two heartless bastards right now!"
"What are you doing?!" The queen hugged Xiao Licheng.
"If you kill them both now, you will just kill them. We know nothing about them."
"You have to calm down!" the queen shouted.
Xiao Licheng finally came to his senses and sat back in his chair.
【Mother is really wise! 】
"What we need to do urgently now is to quickly find an antidote to detoxify Ru'er. Otherwise, even if a god comes, it will be difficult to save her after four months."
Xia Miaoyuan racked his brains to recall whether there was any doctor in the book who could cure this poison.
[I remember there's a miraculous healer living in seclusion on Lingyun Peak. Let's go find her and help my aunt detoxify.]
[I remember from the book that this miraculous doctor lived in seclusion on Lingyun Peak.]
[Later, by chance, the Crown Prince of Liang came to Lingyun Peak in search of a rare herb and happened to meet a miraculous doctor.]
He found out that the Miracle Doctor had come to live in seclusion in the mountains because of his enemies, so he helped the Miracle Doctor eliminate his enemies.
[From then on, the miracle doctor willingly stayed by his side and served him.]
[That miraculous doctor helped the Crown Prince of Liang quite a bit.]
Can the miracle doctor on Lingyun Peak detoxify?
The Queen and Xiao Licheng felt relieved instantly.
"Oh, I remember hearing Sang Qi mention that there's a hermit doctor on Lingyun Peak. Why don't we go find her and give her a try?"
[Wow, there's a hidden talent around my mother. Aunt Sang Qi not only knows about the strange poison from the Western Regions, but also knows about the miraculous doctor at Lingyun Peak?!]
Xia Miaoyuan glanced at the queen in disbelief.
"Then I will go to Lingyun Peak tomorrow!" Xiao Licheng said excitedly.
"I will send someone to Lingyun Peak. You stay in the capital. There are more important tasks waiting for you."
The Queen paused and looked out the window, seemingly trying to gather her thoughts.
"It has now been basically proven that the Li brothers and sisters are not ordinary people. They are very likely spies from the Liang State." The Queen's voice was full of worry.
"If they really are spies, poisoning Ru'er is definitely not their ultimate goal."
"You are the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and you are also the Queen's brother, the Emperor's brother-in-law. Hiding by your side can do a lot of things."
Hearing this, Xiao Licheng felt cold all over.
"So, the next more important task is to find out the purpose of these brother and sister." The queen frowned slightly.
"I understand. I'll listen to you, sister." Xiao Licheng said gently.
The next day, the queen took Xia Miaoyuan back to the palace.
The Queen is now in charge of the entire harem and has so many affairs to deal with that she really doesn't have the energy to stay in the Xiao Mansion any longer.
Last night, the brother and sister discussed and decided to let the second prince stay in the Xiao Mansion for a few more days to assist Xiao Licheng in investigating the two spies.
Time flies, and it is already the Chinese Valentine's Day.
In Daxia, Qixi Festival is a very lively festival.
The Chinese Valentine's Day is also known as the Daughters' Day. As the name suggests, it is mainly a festival for daughters.
On this day, girls gather together to compete in ingenuity, worship the Seven Fairies, and pray for a good marriage.
Late at night, unmarried girls would wait under the grape trellis to listen to the whispers between the Seven Fairies and their husbands.
On the Qixi Festival, the streets of the capital will be decorated with flowers and lanterns, and men, women, old and young will go out to play, and the streets will be particularly lively.
It is worth mentioning that the night of Qixi Festival is one of the few days in a year when women are allowed to go out for a night out.
