Chapter 78 Western Regions Poison
In the guest room where the queen temporarily lived, Sang Qi handed over a small paper package.
"What is this?" The queen frowned slightly.
"This is a Western Regions Poison." Sang Qi lowered her voice.
"Western Regions Poison!?" The queen said word by word.
[Wow, it's amazing.]
Xia Miaoyuan had fallen asleep, but she sat up from the bed when she heard the noise.
When she heard the words "Western Regions Poison", she instantly lost all sleepiness.
"Once a person is poisoned by this kind of poison, he will appear confused and dazed." Sang Qi continued.
"To outsiders, it looks like she's sick, and the illness is getting worse."
"The scariest thing is that the doctor can't tell from the pulse that it's poisoning. He usually prescribes medicine based on the illness."
"If a person 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.
Sang Qi is a specially trained female guard who has been with the queen since she was unmarried.
One of the teachers who taught Sang Qi martial arts was a knight who had been roaming the world for decades.
Therefore, Sang Qi knows a lot of strange things in the world.
[It's really ridiculous that they gave my aunt such a vicious and insidious medicine! ]
Xia Miaoyuan cursed fiercely in his heart.
After a while, Sang Qi called Xiao Licheng over.
"Look, this is why Ru'er suddenly got a strange disease." The queen said, handing the small paper package 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 slammed on the table.
Although he had learned from his niece's thoughts in advance that his wife's illness was caused by the Liang State spy, he couldn't help but get angry and lose control when he saw the poison the spy had put in.
"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 Liang State spy, and I specialize in this. ]
[Can you be more rational? ! ]
Xia Miaoyuan saw her uncle's angry look and couldn't help complaining.
"Poisoned my wife and plotted against me!"
"I'm going to kill those two ruthless people!"
"What are you doing?!" The Queen hugged Xiao Licheng.
"If you kill them now, you'll just kill them. We know nothing about them."
"You need to be calm!" 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 now is to find an antidote to detoxify Ru'er. Otherwise, by the time she's four months old, even a deity will be hard to save her."
Xia Miaoyuan racked her brains to recall if there was any doctor in the book who could detoxify this poison.
[I remember that there is a hermit doctor on Lingyun Peak. Go find her and detoxify your aunt. ]
[I remember from the book that this miracle doctor lived in seclusion on Lingyun Peak. ]
[Later, by chance, the prince of Liang State came to Lingyun Peak to look for a rare herb and met the miracle doctor. ]
[He found out that the miracle doctor lived in seclusion on the mountain because of his enemies, so he helped the doctor to eliminate his enemies. ]
[From then on, the miracle doctor was willing to stay by his side and work
for him. ] [The miracle doctor helped the prince of Liang State a lot. ]
Can the miracle doctor on Lingyun Peak detoxify?
The queen and Xiao Licheng felt relieved instantly.
"By the way, I remember that I heard Sang Qi mention that there was a miracle doctor living in seclusion on Lingyun Peak. Why don't we go find her and give it a try."
[Wow, there are many hidden talents around my mother. Aunt Sang Qi not only knows the strange poison in the Western Regions, but also knows about the miracle doctor in 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, as if she was sorting out her thoughts.
"Now it can be basically proved that the Li brothers and sisters are not ordinary people. They are very likely to be spies from the Liang Kingdom." The Queen's voice was full of worry.
"If they are really spies, poisoning Ru'er is definitely not the ultimate goal."
"You are the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and you are also the Queen's biological brother and the Emperor's brother-in-law. Hiding by your side can do a lot of things."
Hearing this, Xiao Licheng felt a chill all over his body.
"So, the next more important task is to find out the purpose of the brother and sister." The queen frowned slightly.
"I understand, I'll listen to my 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 she has many affairs to deal with. She really doesn't have the energy to stay in the Xiao Mansion anymore.
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 and investigate the two spies.
Time flies, and it's already the Chinese Valentine's Day.
In Daxia, the Chinese
Valentine's Day is a very lively festival. The Chinese Valentine's Day is also called the Girl's Day. As the name suggests, it is mainly a festival for girls.
On this day, girls gather together to compete in ingenuity, worship the seven fairies, and pray for a good marriage for themselves.
Late at night, unmarried girls would wait under the grape trellises to listen to the whispers of the Seven Fairies and their husbands.
On the Qixi Festival, the streets of the capital would be decorated with flowers and lanterns, and men, women, old and young would go out to play, and the streets would be particularly lively.
It is worth mentioning that the night of the Qixi Festival is one of the few days in the year when women are allowed to go out for a night outing.
Therefore, those young men who have a favorite girl in their hearts will take the opportunity to go out on the street and express their feelings to the girl they love.
On the morning of the Qixi Festival, Kunning Palace was already bustling with activity.
The queen has always been kind to the palace ladies, and she allowed the young palace maids to celebrate the Qixi Festival without having to be on duty.
In Kunning Palace, eight young palace maids gathered in the yard early in the morning, chattering and catching spiders.
"Look, there's one here."
"Hold it quickly, don't let it run away."
"Oh, this one is too small, I don't know if it can spit silk."
Xia Miaoyuan had just woken up at this time, and after Li Ma Ma had tidied her up, she was feeding her rice porridge spoonful by spoonful.
[What are the palace maids doing?
Xia Miaoyuan heard the chattering sounds in the courtyard and was very curious.
She impatiently responded to Li Ma's spoon and stretched her neck to look out the window. "What is the little princess looking at? You do n't
even care about eating rice porridge?" Li Ma teased her with a smile.
"Are you looking at the palace maids in the yard? They are catching spiders. Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day."
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Li Ma in surprise.
[Do you still catch spiders on the Chinese Valentine's Day? Why have I never heard of it? 】
"Little girls, on the morning of the Qixi Festival, catch a spider, put it in a delicate box, and cover it. Wait until tomorrow morning, then open it and check."
"If the spider weaves a web inside, and it is a relatively round web, it is considered a victory."
"If it does not weave a web, or the web is messy, it is a failure."
Nanny Li described it vividly, and Xia Miaoyuan was fascinated by it, and her two little hands unconsciously clapped.
"Princess, did you understand?" Nanny Li couldn't help laughing.
