Your Majesty, please take a closer look at this provocation! ”
Huang Yumo's idea was not wrong. If it was not a deliberate provocation to the court, who would be so bored as to poison an important official in the court? Isn't that seeking death? And there is more than one poison, and it is not a deadly poison that kills instantly, it just destroys one's face.
And it just so happened that Her Majesty the Queen was assassinated yesterday, and all the ministers were affected today. She couldn't help but suspect that this incident was related to the assassination. After all, those assassins died of poisoning.
She had already suspected that the murder was carried out by a mastermind. Although the assassins had always had the upper hand, their goal was to assassinate the Queen. Seeing that Feng Lingxi's men were difficult to deal with and the assassination was about to fail, it was not impossible that they decisively silenced the witnesses.
But what good would such a provocation do to the assassin now? Huang Yumo couldn't understand this either.
Huang Yumo guessed one thing right, this incident was indeed related to the assassination, but it was not done by an assassin.
Her Majesty the Queen slapped the armrest of the chair again, her face cold and she said in a cold voice, "Check..."
As soon as she uttered this word, Her Majesty the Queen felt like sitting on pins and needles. An overly passionate gaze fell on her, making her feel uneasy.
Following that line of sight, it was indeed Feng Lingxi. Only Feng Lingxi could put such pressure on Her Majesty the Queen.
Feng Lingxi looked up at her, smiling but not smiling, and that expression clearly said, "Just try and check it out!"
She did it for Huang Yuxuan's own good, because it would be useless to investigate. Her little wild cat would definitely not leave any evidence. Even if there was evidence, she would destroy it first, so it was better not to waste her energy.
Her Majesty the Queen frowned slightly, but then relaxed her brows the next moment, with a look of sudden realization on her face. It turned out that it was Ling Xi who did it.
Is Ling Xi helping her vent her anger? As expected, Ling Xi is the best to her! These ministers need to be taught a lesson.
Your Majesty, you are so self-indulgent. It is obvious that it is the Second Young Master Yun who is venting his anger on His Royal Highness the Prince, okay?
In short, Her Majesty was happy in her heart, and she didn't care that the ministers in the court were slapping her in the face with such an ugly face, but her expression was still majestic and cold, and she waved her hand and said, "No need to investigate, you should go back and reflect on what you have done wrong!"
Uh... the ministers were very confused. It was true that the emperor's mind was hard to predict! How did Her Majesty change so quickly? And, have they done anything wrong? That’s right, they failed to protect the emperor well!
So a group of ministers knelt down and shouted, "We acknowledge our guilt."
Her Majesty the Queen looked at the heads knocking on the ground, feeling displeased. These people could only say "I know my crime" and "I deserve to die". When they really wanted to die, they would immediately shout "Your Majesty, please forgive me". Their words were completely inconsistent with their hearts. It was the same now. These people had no idea where they did wrong.
Her Majesty the Queen found it boring and was too lazy to say anything more.
"If there is something to report, then report it. If there is nothing to report, then report it."
The biggest thing is just the assassination yesterday, but the assassins are all dead, so there is no way to investigate. However, Her Majesty the Queen was assassinated, and such a big thing cannot be left unsolved. Whether there are clues or not, we still have to investigate.
Her Majesty the Queen is not in a hurry about this. It would be more efficient to let Feng Lingxi investigate the matter secretly. If Feng Lingxi can't find it, then she can only wait for the other party's next action.
After the court was dismissed, as soon as the Queen left, the other ministers covered their faces and ran out of the palace as if there were ghosts chasing them. Then a group of ministers appeared outside the palace and yelled and scolded the sedan bearers.
A certain gentleman had the most explosive temper. Even at the palace gate, he couldn't help but kick his sedan bearer twice.
The sedan bearers were innocent, it’s not that they didn’t want to remind them! It was because the adult was too impatient. They wanted to speak several times, but were interrupted by her urging. Finally, seeing that they were nagging, she threatened them viciously that if they delayed the morning court, she would take their heads. Seeing that the adult's temper was even hotter than usual, they dared not say anything more.
In fact, everyone's situation was similar. Yun Siyu obviously wanted to embarrass them. It was no coincidence that so many people got up late. They were in a hurry to attend the morning court, so they naturally had no time to look in the mirror. They were anxious and angry, and they hurried. Some sedan bearers didn't pay attention at all, some noticed it but didn't have the chance to say it. Moreover, the red pimples on the faces of those adults didn't hurt or itch, and they couldn't be felt at all without looking or touching. So these people came to the morning court miserably with pimpled faces.
Although it was a tricky approach, there were still some loopholes. Several people were absent from today's morning court.
But the poison...
Feng Lingxi couldn't help laughing. The poison hadn't fully taken effect yet. It was just embarrassing now. When these ministers returned home, it would probably start to itch. But it wouldn't itch for too long. It would stop at night at most, and the red bumps would disappear. But more people would probably be absent from the morning court tomorrow because their faces were scratched.
Even those who have not come out to embarrass themselves will inevitably suffer some pain.
Feng Lingxi was walking slowly when he was suddenly stopped by His Royal Highness Prince Ning. Huang Yumo lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Feng Lingxi, this is a good thing you did, right?"
The imperial sister suddenly changed her mind and forbade anyone to investigate. Apart from wanting to protect Feng Lingxi, she really couldn't think of any other reason.
Feng Lingxi glanced at the people who got into the sedan angrily, and smiled, "Your Highness Prince Ning, please go and pay attention to Her Majesty the Queen! Her Majesty was very frightened yesterday."
After saying that, he pushed Huang Yumo away and left.
Huang Yumo frowned and snorted coldly, then actually walked back, ready to go and check on Her Majesty the Queen.
The smile on Feng Lingxi's lips couldn't help but widen a little. She tolerated Huang Yumo a lot, not only for Huang Yuxuan's sake, but also because Huang Yumo was not a bad person by nature, and he was sensible in doing things. He was just quick-witted.
Although she guessed that this matter was related to her, she did not publicize it and make her the target of public criticism. Seeing that she was relatively sensible, she did not mind helping her and letting her suffer less.
After all, if Huang Yumo's face was disfigured, Her Majesty the Queen would probably kill her with her sad eyes.
When Huang Yumo saw Huang Yuxuan, Huang Yuxuan was just asking someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to summon all the imperial doctors, saying that he had been frightened yesterday and was not feeling well, and wanted the imperial doctors to take a good look at him.
Huang Yumo was not stupid. Seeing that Her Majesty was jumping around in full swing and did not look like she was frightened at all, he understood after careful consideration that the Imperial Sister was still angry and was not allowing the people from the Imperial Hospital to treat those ministers.
Fortunately, she did not leave, otherwise, she believed that the imperial sister would never ask the imperial physician to come to Prince Ning's Mansion to see her. She would definitely be treated the same as those ministers, so as to show the selflessness of Her Majesty the Queen.
Then she thought, it seemed that Feng Lingxi asked her to come and take a look. Could it be that Feng Lingxi had already guessed that the imperial sister would do this? But they have always been at odds, so why should she help her?
No matter what, His Royal Highness Prince Ning was finally spared the tragic fate of being temporarily disfigured. Yun Siyu was only trying to teach these ministers a lesson, and the poison was not undoable, but because of Feng Lingxi's interference and the cooperation of Her Majesty the Queen, only His Royal Highness Prince Ning and Prime Minister Yuwen were lucky.
Her Royal Highness Prince Ning only lost face a little bit because she had a royal sister who loved her and had an imperial physician to see her, and she did not suffer the itching that penetrated into her bones. As soon as Prime Minister Yuwen discovered that she was poisoned, he invited the imperial physician to his house. By the time Her Majesty the Queen issued an order to summon the imperial physician, she had already taken the antidote. However, several other ministers who discovered the problem in time and also did not attend the court were not so lucky. They were a step late, and missed the imperial physicians.
Su Wen was not poisoned at all, because she rushed into the depths of the woods first and was not among the group of ministers. Feng Lingxi personally taught her a lesson, and Yun Siyu didn't care about her anymore. In fact, the ministers who stayed outside the woods should not have been poisoned, but those ministers were mean-spirited. When Feng Lingxi and Yun Siyu left, they happened to hear several people discussing Feng Lingxi, and they were not saying anything good. So Yun Siyu shook his sleeves angrily, and they were treated the same as those short-sighted ministers.
When Feng Lingxi returned to the palace, he heard a scream.
"Sir, help!"
She couldn't help but frown and walked towards the place where the sound came from, and then she saw her little wild cat being molested!
Wu Xuan hugged Yun Siyu tightly, looking at the expressionless woman opposite him as if facing a great enemy, tears welling up in his eyes, "Master, you must save me. I promise that I will never feed the fish to death again, I will never feed the flowers to death again, I will never..."
Wu Xuan sincerely confessed and didn't notice Yun Siyu's increasingly dark face.
Finally, Yun Siyu couldn't bear it anymore, and pulled Wu Xuan away, then rushed into the yard that Feng Lingxi had specially prepared for him to grow flowers and fish. When he saw it, he was so angry that he almost fainted, and screamed madly, "Wu Xuan, you idiot!"
His flowers! His grass! His fish!
From now on, even if you want to raise this stupid servant to death, you can’t do it, because they are all dead, how can they die?
He should have known this earlier. When he got married and returned home, Wu Xuan killed one of his fish within three days. This time, he has been away for such a long time, his flowers, plants and small animals will definitely suffer. But isn't this a little too tragic?
Yun Siyu looked at the desolate courtyard, pursed her lips, and felt like crying.
Feng Lingxi frowned, walked over and put out his hands to hug him in his arms. As Yun Siyu fell into the familiar embrace, his mouth pouted even more, "Xi..." That pitiful expression and trembling voice, how aggrieved he was.
Feng Lingxi glanced at Wu Xuan, who looked nervous, with his neck shrunk, as if he wanted to find a hole to hide in, and snorted, "Bai Qiong, drag him away." Anyone who dares to make her little wild cat sad deserves a lesson!
