Chapter 21 Phoenix Stage
Grayish-white powder covered his head and face.
Eunuch Liu instantly turned into a snow-white "dough man".
He didn't even have time to let out a cry of surprise.
Just see it in yourself.
A strange, faint purple light bloomed.
The light was mainly concentrated on his cuffs and front.
Although weak.
But everyone present saw it clearly.
"This is……"
Captain Zhang's pupils suddenly contracted.
He stared at the purple light on Eunuch Liu's body.
His face showed an expression of extreme shock.
The surrounding imperial guards also gasped.
They all know.
The developing powder met the ambergris given by the emperor in the palace.
This will give it this unique lavender color.
And ambergris.
He is the chief eunuch with the highest rank in the palace.
Only those who are qualified to wear it are gifted.
Eunuch Liu himself was stunned.
He looked down at the light on his body that shouldn't be there.
My mind went blank.
He was just an ordinary eunuch responsible for conveying imperial eunuchs.
Where can one be qualified to wear ambergris?
Why does he have this thing on his body?
Captain Zhang's eyes instantly became cold and sharp.
He grabbed Eunuch Liu by the collar.
Lifted him up completely.
"explain!"
His voice was like thunder.
"Where did you get the ambergris?"
"Did you steal something from some steward?"
"Or do you intend to use the Empress's order to commit some illegal acts?"
A series of questions.
Like a heavy hammer.
It hit Eunuch Liu hard in the heart.
He was terrified.
His body was shaking like a leaf in the wind.
"Unjust! Captain, it's unfair!"
He screamed shrilly with a hoarse voice.
"Slave...slave doesn't know what's going on!"
"I swear to heaven that I will never dare to have even the slightest evil intention!"
Captain Zhang didn't listen to his explanation at all.
Privately keep the imperial gifts.
In the palace, it is a serious crime that will punish nine generations of the family.
He waved to the imperial guards behind him.
"Get it!"
"Drag him to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough interrogation!"
Two ferocious imperial guards immediately stepped forward.
They lifted up Eunuch Liu's body, which had become a puddle of mud.
They were about to drag him away.
Eunuch Liu was completely desperate.
He knew that once he entered a place like the Ministry of Punishment.
Even if you don't die, you will be skinned alive.
Just as he was about to be dragged away.
He used all his strength.
He turned around and glanced at the girl who was still standing there with a look of "fear" on her face.
He saw it.
The corner of the girl's mouth.
There was an extremely subtle, cold arc in his expression, as if he was looking at a dead person.
He understood instantly.
He understood everything.
It's her.
She did everything.
In the carriage.
When he brought out the pot of tea.
She must be using some means that he couldn't understand.
Powder the harmful tea leaves.
It got to him without anyone noticing.
This woman...she is a devil!
However.
He never got the chance to tell the truth.
His mouth was gagged tightly with a rag.
He could only let out a "woooo" and desperate wail.
soon.
He was dragged and disappeared at the end of the palace road.
An interrogation of Ling Zixia.
It ended in such a dramatic way.
Captain Zhang looked at Ling Zixia.
His eyes were full of complexity.
He waved his hand.
Signaled the two female soldiers to retreat.
"We made a mistake."
His tone was stiff.
"Girl, you can go now."
Ling Zixia seemed to be frightened.
She gave Captain Zhang a cursory bow.
Then he left without looking back.
Followed by another young eunuch who was temporarily assigned to lead the way.
Flee from this place of trouble in a hurry.
She lowered her head.
Walking quickly.
No one saw it.
In her eyes hidden under long eyelashes.
What a cold, calculating light it gleamed.
Li Ruolan.
This is the first "big gift" you gave me.
I have returned it intact.
Passing through the long palace road.
Passing by several palaces with carved beams and painted rafters.
A magnificent and majestic palace.
Finally appeared before her eyes.
On the plaque of the palace.
The three big characters "Fengluan Palace" are written in Fengzhuan script.
That is the queen's bedroom.
It is also the power center of the entire harem.
The eunuch who led the way brought her to the white jade steps in front of the hall.
Then he bowed and left.
A middle-aged woman with a serious face and wearing the attire of a female official.
I've been waiting there for a long time.
"Are you Ling Zixia?"
The female official looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
There was no emotion in his tone.
Ling Zixia quickly knelt down and saluted.
"I am Ling Zixia, a commoner. I am honored to meet you, aunt."
The female official nodded.
"The Queen is admiring the flowers in the back garden with several concubines."
"Come with me."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and led the way.
Not another word was said.
Ling Zixia followed her silently.
Pass through the main hall of Fengluan Palace.
An exquisite royal garden appeared before our eyes.
The garden is full of exotic flowers and plants.
A small warm pavilion is built among the flowers.
Several women in luxurious clothes were sitting in the pavilion.
Talking and laughing happily.
The person in charge.
It is the current Queen.
Just as Ling Zixia was about to step onto the path leading to the warm pavilion.
The sound of children playing.
Suddenly it came from behind a rockery nearby.
Immediately following.
A little boy wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, who looked only five or six years old.
Chasing a butterfly.
He stumbled out from behind the rockery.
Behind him were several panicked palace maids and eunuchs.
"Your Highness! Slow down!"
"Be careful not to fall!"
The little boy was having a great time.
He refused to listen to any advice.
He was careless.
I tripped over a stone.
The whole person fell to the ground.
In his hand, he was holding a handful of osmanthus cake sprinkled with crushed peanuts, which he had just taken out of the food box.
He was about to fall.
A eunuch with quick eyes and quick hands rushed forward.
Hold him firmly.
The little boy did not fall.
The osmanthus cake in his hand fell to the ground.
He seemed a little unhappy.
Pouting.
Then.
He took it from the food box in the hand of the palace maid who had caught up with him.
He brought out a steaming cup of what looked like almond milk.
He gulped down a few big gulps.
As if to quench thirst.
The accident happened at this moment.
A little boy who just finished drinking almond milk.
His expression suddenly changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Start to flush.
Immediately following.
It was like he couldn't breathe.
He clutched his neck tightly with both hands.
A terrible "ho ho" sound came from his throat.
His lips quickly turned purple.
His whole body began to twitch violently.
"Your Highness!"
"Oh my God! What happened to His Highness the Seventh Prince?"
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were instantly thrown into chaos.
They were terrified.
But I don’t know what to do.
The queen and concubines in the warm pavilion also noticed the movement here.
They all stood up.
His face showed a look of shock and panic.
"Quick! Call the imperial physician!"
The Queen Mother's voice became sharp with anxiety.
Ling Zixia stood where she was.
She looked at the young prince who was about to suffocate from acute allergies.
An extremely complicated light flashed in her eyes.
Peanuts and almonds.
Both are harmless when consumed alone.
But once they enter the body of a person with an allergic constitution.
This can trigger the most severe and fatal asthma reaction.
If no timely rescue.
It won’t take more than half an incense stick of time.
The child will die of suffocation.
The imperial physician rushed over from the Imperial Hospital.
The fastest it will take is the time of an incense stick.
It's simply too late.
A prince died outside Fengluan Palace.
This guilt.
Her Majesty the Queen cannot bear it.
She was the "daughter of a guilty minister" who had just entered the palace and was summoned.
They will become the first target of anger and suspicion.
She couldn't let him die.
At least I can't die here.
Ling Zixia's brain was working rapidly.
She didn't have any silver needles.
There are no medications either.
The only one she could rely on.
Only her own abilities.
And the flowers and plants in the garden.
Her eyes darted around.
final.
It was fixed on a tall sycamore tree next to it.
She seemed frightened by the chaos before her.
The body went limp.
Fell towards the sycamore tree.
The moment her body leaned against the rough tree trunk.
She stretched out her hand.
With an extremely stealthy and extremely quick movement.
From the branches overhead.
I picked a most ordinary and inconspicuous sycamore leaf.
The moment her fingertips touched the leaf.
An extremely pure life force.
They rushed madly into the green leaves.
The weak medicinal properties of the sycamore leaves themselves can relieve asthma and reduce phlegm.
It was magnified a thousand times at this moment.
It starts from an ordinary leaf.
It has become a life-saving medicine that can bring people back to life and turn bones into flesh, and is specifically used to treat acute asthma.
She did it all.
He immediately got up from the ground.
She held the leaf that had been transformed.
Regardless of the consequences.
Rushed towards the seventh prince who was almost dying.
“Get out of the way!”
She used a voice that was unprecedented, full of majesty and power.
Shouted sternly.
The palace maids and eunuchs around were at a loss.
He was actually shocked by her sudden momentum.
Subconsciously made way for her.
Ling Zixia rushed to the front of the seventh prince.
She looked at his little face which had turned purple due to lack of oxygen.
She didn't hesitate at all.
She took the sycamore leaf that exuded a strange and refreshing fragrance.
In an almost rude manner.
Stuffed it directly into the child's mouth.
"You slut!"
"What are you doing!"
"Do you want to kill the Seventh Prince?"
The palace maids and ladies-in-waiting finally reacted.
There was a scream of terror.
They were about to step forward and capture Ling Zixia.
However.
It's too late.
The moment the paulownia leaf entered the seventh prince's mouth.
It turned into a stream of cool saliva.
It slid down his throat.
Miracle.
Right in front of everyone's eyes.
