Chapter 176 Meirongxiang

After everyone stood still in the courtyard, Xia Zhengqi asked Yin Xizi, "What on earth is this smell? I have cultivated various flowers for more than 20 years, and this is definitely not the smell of fresh flowers."

Yin Xizi was also shocked by the strange smell just now. She calmed down and said, "This flower has been drugged!"

It was drugged? !

Everyone was shocked.

"Then what kind of medicine is on it? The smell is so strange." The courtyard envoy Zhou couldn't help but blurt out.

Yin Xizi's expression became solemn: "If my judgment is correct, it should be the Meirongxiang of Siam!"

"What is Meirongxiang?"

"Have you heard of it?"

The five imperial doctors whispered again.

Xia Zhengqi signaled Yin Xizi with his eyes and continued.

"This charming fragrance is a kind of fragrance that women use for men. It is mostly used in the land of fireworks." Yin Xizi spoke slowly, and when he said the words "the land of fireworks", his voice became lower.

Everyone showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Yin Xizi paused and continued: "This kind of fragrance is mostly used secretly by women in those low-level places. When men smell this fragrance, they can't help themselves..."

"Moreover, if this incense is used for a long time, it will affect people's mind."

Xia Zhengqi was stunned: "It will also affect people's mind?"

Yin Xizi nodded: "Yes, for example, it will make people confused and confused, and in serious cases, it will also produce hallucinations."

Xia Zhengqi looked very serious and asked: "What if you smell this incense for several years in a row?"

Yin Xizi pursed her lips and said: "It is very likely that you will become a useless person who talks nonsense."

Seeing that Emperor Mingxi's mental state was not very good, Debao hurriedly moved a throne behind him. After being stunned for a moment, Emperor Mingxi actually sat down on the chair as if he had lost his mind.

"You all, go back first!" Xia Zhengqi waved his hand weakly.

The imperial doctors and Yin Xizi bowed and left one after another.

"Your Majesty, where did this flower come from?" After everyone left, the queen asked in a low voice.

"It was a tribute from Dai Viet." Xia Zhengqi's voice was low.

[Dai Viet!] Xia Miaoyuan bit her finger and felt her brain suddenly startled.

[I know!]

Xia Zhengqi and the queen both pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

[No wonder in the book, not long after Master Jiang usurped the throne, he acted like a tyrant, obsessed with beauty, and later became more and more absurd.]

[He must have been poisoned by this charming fragrance.]

[In the book, this precious peony was given to Master Jiang by Dai Viet. At that time, Master Jiang had already become the founding emperor of Jiang.]

Xia Zhengqi's eyes lit up. It turned out that Dai Viet deliberately poisoned him!

It seems that we should pay more attention to border defense and military construction in the future, and be more vigilant against Dai Viet.

If we can defeat Dai Viet one day and make it surrender, it will be even better.

At this time, Xia Miaoyuan's voice sounded again: [It's all that Liang Chaozong. At that time, he was eager to restore his country, but his troops were very limited. He couldn't do it by force. ]

[So he used many sinister means, and this peony with fragrant drugs is his masterpiece. ]

It turned out to be Liang Chaozong!

Xia Zhengqi and the queen bit their lips in shock, trying hard to suppress their excitement.

[He and the king of Dai Viet agreed on the terms of cooperation. Dai Viet sent these drugged peonies to Daxia in the name of gifts. Well, no, it was called Jiang State in the book at that time. ]

[Whatever it is called. When the king is poisoned and insane, Liang Chaozong will take the opportunity to raise an army and restore the country.

In exchange, Liang Chaozong will hand over ten cities to Dai Viet for free.

These ten cities are important border defense areas.

When Xia Zhengqi heard this, his fists were clenched tightly, as hard as a rock.

How ridiculous!

In order to get help from a neighboring country, he actually agreed to sell the country for glory!

This Liang Chaozong is simply a devil!

The monarch of Liang was tyrannical and the people of Liang were in dire straits. The demise of Liang was inevitable.

It was over, but Liang Chaozong and his father were always obsessed with restoring the country.

Liang Chaozong was like a madman, he would do anything to refuse to give up the restoration of the country, even if it meant letting the people experience the suffering of war again.

Liang Chaozong, Liang Chaozong, you are a devil!

Miao'er also said that you are the chosen son of God, the male protagonist with a halo!

How can a heartbroken person like you be the chosen son of God!

"Daddy! Daddy!" Seeing that Xia Zhengqi was in a bad mood, Xia Miaoyuan hurried forward to coax him.

"Someone is harming daddy, this princess is here to protect daddy!" Xia Miaoyuan patted her little chest with a proud face.

"Okay! You come to protect father!" Xia Zhengqi rubbed his daughter's hair lovingly, and then pulled back his thoughts.

At this time, Maomao suddenly jumped over, and excitedly nudged Xia Zhengqi's hand with his mouth, as if signaling Xia Zhengqi to touch its head.

"Daddy, you can touch its head too!" Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice, and pulled Xia Zhengqi's big hand to the deer's head.

Xia Zhengqi was amused by the two little guys and laughed heartily, and his suppressed mood improved a lot.

"Oh, I actually forgot to give the reward to Doctor Yin just now." Xia Zhengqi slapped his head.

Xia Zhengqi waved to Debao: "Go to the treasury to find some precious medicinal materials, and send them to Doctor Yin, and say that they are my reward."

Xia Zhengqi's eyes fell on his daughter and the deer in front of him again: "My little princess has also made great contributions, and she is rewarded with ten kilograms of golden leaves!" "

And this!" Xia Miaoyuan hugged Maomao and blinked her big eyes at Xia Zhengqi.

The queen raised her lips, trying not to laugh as she said, "Miao'er is right. Although Maomao was naughty and destroyed the greenhouse, he also accidentally made us realize that this flower is poisonous."

Xia Zhengqi nodded: "Well, then I will forgive Maomao the crime of destroying the flower room, and give it the grace of eating flowers in the palace without guilt."

With a "puff", the queen laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, this grace is very good!"

...

In the study.

Xia Zhengqi dismissed all the palace people and called Ying Chen and Cheng Feng to his side.

"The owner of Tianxiang Restaurant and the new royal merchant of Daxia, Liang Xin, you go and kill him." Xia Zhengqi's voice was low and cold.

Cheng Feng and Ying Chen hesitated for a moment, turned their heads and looked at each other.

Assassinating a businessman was a bit confusing for the two royal secret guards.

"Are you sure it's murder?" Cheng Feng couldn't help asking.

"Kill! Don't make a big fuss!" Xia Zhengqi's tone was firm.

The two said in unison: "Yes, sir!"

Looking at the backs of Cheng Feng and Ying Chen leaving, Xia Zhengqi let out a long breath and closed his eyes.

Miao'er said several times that Liang Chaozong was the chosen son of heaven and could not be killed, but he didn't believe it.

What kind of chosen son of heaven could use such a despicable means to harm people? !

He wanted to try and see if the top masters could take Liang Chaozong's life.

If he was killed in one fell swoop, the remaining forces of the Liang Kingdom might collapse.

Then, a big worry of his would be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhengqi smiled with satisfaction.

...

On the fifth day of the New Year, Qianqing Palace.

Xia Zhengqi, the queen, and the concubines gathered together to eat dumplings.

The dumplings that day seemed a little special, as they were made by the Empress and the concubines.

In the small kitchen of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Empress and the concubines all wore aprons and worked busily.

The Empress and Lady Lu rolled the dough, Concubine Shu, Concubine Rong, and Lin Zhaoyi made dumplings, and Concubine Zhou sat alone in front of the stove to boil water.

Concubine Li and several concubines who were pampered stood aside, eating melon seeds and pointing their fingers.

Yingxue walked up to Concubine Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, let me do the job of heating the fire! Be careful not to dirty your dress."

Concubine Zhou smiled timidly and said, "It's okay, I can do it."

Seeing that Concubine Zhou was unwilling, Yingxue didn't say anything else.

Xia Miaoyuan also put on a small apron and had fun in the small kitchen.

She secretly took a small piece of dough and started to knead it.

[Let this princess knead a small orange! ]

Xia Miaoyuan laughed and her little hands were busy kneading the dough.

After a while, a rough cat was kneaded.

She quietly walked to the stove and observed whether the water was boiled.

"Little ancestor, what are you doing? I will boil you carefully." Aunt Ji hurriedly took Xia Miaoyuan away.

"Cook! Cook it!" Xia Miaoyuan held up the dough cat in her hand and said in a baby voice.

"Okay, okay, when the water boils, I will cook it as well." Yingxue comforted softly and took the dough cat from Xia Miaoyuan.
