Chapter 425 Something is wrong
"I receive many gifts every year, and I open them myself." The empress said, staring at a certain place, her red lips pursed into a sharp arc.
"Why are you opening them yourself? Aren't you afraid that someone will tamper with the gifts?" Jiang Yunxi really didn't expect her to do such a thing. There were countless gifts in the warehouse.
The Empress walked forward and said, "I opened it myself just to see who would tamper with it. I just happened to solve it. I opened the birthday gift this time and didn't find any problems."
"It seems that the empress has encountered someone with more sophisticated means this time." Jiang Yunxi said jokingly.
"You dare to say anything, but I like people like you who say what you think instead of beating around the bush or want to say something but dare not." The empress was not angry because of her teasing.
"I've always been like this. I say whatever I want to say." Jiang Yunxi said that he has always been like this.
The Empress walked to a table and said, "Piled here are the gifts I received for my birthday. I have opened every one of them."
"I need to see everything." Jiang Yunxi said.
"I'll ask someone to come and help you open it." The empress just wanted to quickly find out who sent the problematic gift and then kill them.
Jiang Yunxi glanced at the things on the table and said in a relaxed tone, "No need to dismantle it. I can use the formation to check it directly. It's not that troublesome."
Empress: “…”
Jiang Yunxi took out a golden paintbrush and quickly drew a formation on the table. The formation spread out instantly, covering the entire table. She chanted a spell, and the formation became dazzling.
In an instant.
Each gift has a faint glow.
Jiang Yunxi scanned them carefully, checking each one. After looking at all the gifts, she looked puzzled, "There's nothing wrong with these gifts."
"No problem? No wonder I didn't detect it." The empress raised her eyebrows. She was wondering when her ability had deteriorated.
Jiang Yunxi looked at the other gifts in the storeroom and said, "I'll draw another formation to check all the gifts here. If there are no problems, it means that the gifts are indeed fine."
The empress did not stop it. The most important thing now is to find out who attacked her.
Jiang Yunxi walked to the middle of the warehouse and drew a new formation. Then he took a hairpin, pierced his finger and dripped blood into the eye of the formation. Immediately, the formation spread rapidly.
Red strings passed through the gifts, forming a dense net that covered the entire warehouse.
The empress looked at all this and raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that Jiang Yunxi was so capable and could actually come up with such a search formation. Who was she?
She even dared to arrogantly claim that the corpse parts from a thousand years ago were hers.
Jinxia was surprised. She didn't expect Jiang Yunxi to be so powerful. She just hoped that she could really find out the murderer who killed the empress.
After seeing the formation covering the warehouse, Jiang Yunxi formed seals with his hands and chanted a spell. Suddenly, an invisible force surged in the warehouse. In a moment, two gifts were covered with black mist.
"Empress, there is something strange." Jinxia said excitedly. She saw that one was the previous gift and the other was the gift for the Empress' birthday this time. The two gifts seemed to resonate with each other.
The empress looked at the two gifts emitting black air, her face extremely gloomy, and murderous intent surged in her eyes. It turned out that someone really had attacked her.
The cruelest thing is that when she opened the gifts individually, she couldn't find any problems, and had to check them together before she could see that there was any tampering. What a good trick!
She couldn't help but praise it.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The person who did this is indeed smart and cautious, no wonder the empress fell into the trap.
"Empress, did you see that? The problem is with these two gifts that are emitting black energy. You were contaminated by one of them before, and you touched the other one some time ago, so you got a strange disease." Jiang Yunxi understood now.
"Jinxia, go and see who sent those two gifts!" The empress's face was as cold as ice, and the chill all over her body seemed to be able to freeze three feet. She wanted to see who dared to harm her like this.
"Yes." Jinxia stepped forward immediately.
"Will she get sick if she goes to get it?" asked the empress.
Jinxia was so moved after hearing this that even if she got sick, she would take out the two gifts to see who gave them to the empress.
Jiang Yunxi: "No."
These two gifts must have passed through many people. If they were contagious, other people would have fallen ill long ago. The only people who took action were those targeting the empress.
"That's good." The empress was relieved.
Jinxia quickly took out the gifts. Each gift had a label indicating who sent it. "Empress, yes, it's Nangong Susu, the princess of the Prince of Ying's Mansion. Both of them are from this place."
"It's actually her. She's so brave. Go and catch her." The empress gritted her teeth. She never expected that it was her girl.
This girl is usually spoiled and always looks like she's testing her bottom line. Don't think she can't see it.
With her brain, she probably wouldn't survive many days even if she became the empress.
He really has no self-awareness at all.
"Yes." Jinxia left quickly.
The Empress looked at Jiang Yunxi and asked, "Can you tell what the other party did to these two gifts to cause me to have this strange disease?"
She had to find out the truth, and when Nangong Susu came, she would make sure she died with a clear conscience.
"Let me check."
Jiang Yunxi first opened the box of the first gift, which contained a green night pearl. Then she opened the second box, which contained a green jade Buddha statue.
"Can I break it?"
"Okay, I won't keep any problematic gifts either." When the empress said this, her face was full of disgust and disdain. She felt disgusted when she saw these two things.
Jiang Yunxi picked up a hammer nearby and smashed the night pearl and the Buddha statue into pieces.
Suddenly, a whitish object appeared inside both of them.
"What is that?" The empress saw it.
"Human skin." Jiang Yunxi recognized at a glance that the other party was using evil magic to harm people.
Empress: “…”
"This is a sorcery. They found someone born around the same time as the Empress, cut their skin off, and then used a formation to refine it."
"But the other party must know your birth time, because when they were refining it, they made it so that only the empress would touch it to cause the disease." Jiang Yunxi looked at the two pieces of human skin, both of which had a foul smell.
"Damn it!" the empress said angrily with a dark face.
"The other party is very smart. They let you touch the evil objects separately because you can't detect them separately. Only when you check them together can you find human skin." Jiang Yunxi wanted to know who in Xuanyue Country had created this evil magic.
The Empress's hands creaked as she clenched them. "No wonder I didn't react when I touched the first gift. It turns out I only get sick when I touch the second gift."
Nangong Susu’s domineering face appeared in Jiang Yunxi’s mind. Does she have such a powerful brain?
When Nangong Susu was invited into the palace by Jinxia, she was extremely excited. She had been drinking tea with other noble ladies before, but the empress only wanted to see her.
The people present didn’t know how envious they were.
Arrived at the bedroom.
Nangong Susu didn't expect the empress to come out. Her face was still so young and beautiful. "Susu meets the empress."
"You were thoughtful when you gave me the night pearl and jade Buddha statue. I like them very much and decided to reward them to you and let your blood feed the peach tree." The empress smiled.
