Chapter 444: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (50)
Shen Qiuxi redirected her internal energy, broke free from Shen Yi's grip, and frowned slightly: "Didn't His Majesty tell you?"
"The day I entered the palace, His Majesty cured you and me of the twin poisons."
She thought that His Majesty had explained this when he went to detoxify Shen Yi.
Shen Yi took a half step back in a daze, his ears buzzing, and he could no longer hear what Shen Qiuxi said next.
It was as if I had been hit on the head, and my mind was confused.
How can Sejun remove the poison...
Shen Yi stumbled out, not wanting to wait until he reached Chaoyang Palace, and called out Ying Yi from the dark: "Take the pulse!"
Yingyi did as he was told doubtfully, and the next moment he suddenly raised his head.
As if he couldn't believe it, Ying Yi held his breath, carefully put his hand on Shen Yi's wrist again, and said in a trembling voice: "Pavilion Master, the poison in your body is gone."
“It’s really gone!”
Shen Yi seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant. He slid to the ground and stared blankly at his wrist.
Since he came back from the Imperial Garden last time, he has not found a suitable opportunity to be alone to ask Sejun about the strange things that happened that night.
So, that Yesejun really stabbed him.
But not killing him.
It was to help him get rid of the poison.
For more than ten years, he endured the pain brought by each attack of the poison, as if it were an endless darkness that completely swallowed him up.
But now, he saw the light.
Shen Yi laughed softly, letting the tears fall freely, clutching the clothes in front of his chest tightly.
He could finally take control of his own life.
[Ding—Villain’s favorability +10, Darkness -20.]
Ying Yi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: "Pavilion Master will never be tortured by the poison again."
"Who helped you get rid of the poison?"
"I will prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude to this benefactor."
"Yes, Your Majesty." A sour warm current spread in Shen Yi's heart, and he couldn't help but guess what the little emperor meant by doing this.
Is it because Sejun is afraid that he will have wild thoughts that he chooses to hide it and do these things silently?
How should he repay this kindness?
And Ying was stunned: "Your Majesty?"
"How can he cure the twin poison?"
Shen Yi shook his head, indicating that he was not clear, and issued a new order: "Investigate the poison that Gu Guifan gave to Shen Qiuxi."
"If we can't find any clues, then we'll use Chunxue Pavilion's methods to force Gu Guifan to hand over the antidote."
Shen Qiuxi is his sister after all.
There was no way he could just sit back and do nothing.
Shen Yi's tone suddenly paused, and he added: "Don't cause trouble for His Majesty."
"First, dismantle Gu Guifan's forces and hand them over to His Majesty."
Ying nodded in agreement, then, as if remembering something, spoke tactfully, "Pavilion Master, your thoughts about His Majesty...are somewhat inappropriate."
The day the Pavilion Master called all the male musicians, Ying Yi noticed something was wrong.
Especially since His Majesty left so many lip marks on the Pavilion Master's face, the Pavilion Master did not feel disgusted at all, but blushed instead.
This is obviously a case of having a relationship with someone who is not yours!
Shen Yi's eyes were cold: "You talk too much."
Ying Yi hurriedly lowered his head, but still said bravely, "I'm just worried that the Pavilion Master might get hurt."
"Your Majesty is very good to Miss Shen now. I am afraid that Your Majesty will like women after all."
Yingyi suddenly groaned.
Shen Yi's seemingly casual palm strike nearly shattered the bones in his chest.
"roll."
Yingyi swallowed the blood rising in his throat, dared not say anything more, and bowed to take his leave.
Shen Yi stared gloomily at the vermilion palace wall in front of him, his fingertips unconsciously pulling at the weeds growing from the cracks in the floor tiles.
Sejun is really good to Shen Qiuxi.
Was it for him or Chen Qiuxi that she went to such great lengths to find a way to cure the poison?
Too many questions swirled in Shen Yi's mind, like a blunt knife, grinding his heart.
Snap——
The weeds were pulled out by Shen Yi with their roots.
An unknown dark light flickered in those deep eyes.
Tonight, he had to figure these things out.
-
At the same time, in the imperial study.
Li Taifu's face was filled with a rare look of anger: "Your Majesty, Jinchang is now experiencing drought in many places, and the harvest has failed. In some places, the people can no longer afford to eat."
"All of this is because the officials who managed the granaries across the country enriched themselves! They filled the granaries with dirt and sand! Or they passed off inferior goods as good ones! They missed the best time to control the disaster!"
When he learned of the drought, he immediately sent people to investigate, but he never expected those officials to be so bold as to touch the grain in the national treasury!
Lu Cha poured a cup of tea for Li Taifu to calm down his anger. "I noticed some time ago that there was no rain in the spring, so I asked Dark Gold to open several granaries to prepare for emergencies. Teacher, please transfer food from there for disaster relief."
As he spoke, Lu Cha called out Dark Gold and gave him instructions in an orderly manner:
"Whenever there is drought, locusts will swarm. When the weather is dry, locusts will begin to multiply. Send people to convert the fields in the drought-stricken areas into paddy fields."
"Remember to remove the weeds, otherwise the locust eggs will be preserved."
"If officials and people everywhere haven't dug up insect eggs in winter, then let them drive their poultry into the fields."
"Poultry not only eat the locusts, but also discover the eggs hidden in the ground."
An Jin immediately took the order and left.
Unexpectedly, Lu Cha had already made preparations. Grand Tutor Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I, this old minister, will be responsible for finding people to transport the relief grain and arresting those corrupt officials!"
Lu Cha: "Teacher, there is no need to bring him back to the capital. Just kill him right here."
"This is the privilege I give to teachers."
Upon hearing this, Li Taifu bowed and said, "I will do it right away!"
After Li Taifu left, Lu Cha asked Xiaoshan to summon the three adults Zhao, Qian and Sun into the palace.
The male protagonist might take action during the disaster, so she needs to be prepared in advance.
By the time the adults left the study, it was already night.
Lu Cha rubbed his brows tiredly, feeling extremely hungry.
She hadn't eaten since noon.
Lu Cha yawned lazily and planned to return to the palace to have food served. However, when he arrived outside the palace, he heard Xiao Shan's report:
"Your Majesty, Consort Shen is in the bedroom."
"?"
What is the little villain here for?
Lu Cha suddenly remembered the system notification tone he received during the day.
Apart from the poison, there is nothing that can reduce Shen Yi's blackening value.
Are you here to express your gratitude?
However, Xiaoshan said mysteriously: "I heard that Concubine Shen personally prepared a table of food for Your Majesty."
Lucha: "..."
It turns out that the little villain wanted to harm her!
Just as Lu Cha was about to turn around and run away, the palace door creaked open by Shen Yi.
When he saw the table behind the purple-clothed beauty filled with food, Lu Cha instinctively took a half step back.
