Xiao Xian glanced at the two of them with a cold gaze.
Both of them felt a chill on the back of their necks and couldn't help swallowing.
Xiao Zhao also clearly felt the murderous intent in Xiao Xian's eyes.
Although he wanted to die, he still couldn't help feeling fear when he actually faced death.
Xiao Xian grabbed his collar and dragged him out.
"The Queen is dead!"
Xiao Zhao was suddenly shocked.
Dead?
How did he die?
"She knew she had done so many things that were unforgivable, and she set a fire last night."
Xiao Zhao's Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't say anything.
"What kind of deal did you make with the high priest?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
He tightened his grip on his collar only to increase in vain, and the oppressive air pressed down on him like an overwhelming force.
"Was it the Queen who plotted against me at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
Xiao Zhao sneered, "You bastard are quite self-aware!"
At this moment, he actually tasted a bit of pleasure after taking revenge.
The clever and wise Xiao Xian finally believed what he said. Otherwise, why would he call the empress dowager "Empress Dowager"?
Xiao Xian's patience was obviously running out, and the increasingly clear sarcasm and joy on Xiao Zhao's face irritated him even more.
Veins bulged on his forehead and he pushed Xiao Zhao against the wall.
The walls were covered with moss and were extremely slippery.
Even through the clothes, Xiao Zhao could still clearly feel the chill that spread all the way to the depths of his bones.
"Yes, everything about you was planned by us, mother and son!" Xiao Zhao shouted mockingly, "You just have a good mother!"
Xiao Xian's heart was filled with endless pain.
No wonder Emperor Kangdi did not investigate and even agreed to the Queen Mother's arranged marriage.
He loosened his grip on Xiao Zhao's collar a little, and the dead silence in his eyes spread again.
Xiao Zhao gasped for breath, and after a long while, he said, "Xiao Xian, why do you care about the deal we made with the high priest? You are a bastard anyway, unless you want to change the dynasty!"
These words stimulated Xiao Xian again.
"Bang--"
He couldn't control his emotions and punched Xiao Zhaogao's swollen face hard.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the ground, but Xiao Zhao seemed to be numb from the pain.
He spat a mouthful of blood and continued to provoke Xiao Xian.
The word "bastard" echoed over and over in Xiao Xian's mind, like a curse.
His fists did not stop until Xiao Zhao collapsed on the ground and no longer had any breath.
Guangping rushed in and was stunned when he saw this scene.
He held Xiao Xian's hand and checked Xiao Zhao's breath.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? He's already dead!"
Xiao Xian pushed him away with force, but his fists continued to fall.
Guangping couldn't persuade him, so he could only wait for an opportunity and press his sleeping point.
Xiao Xian's eyes widened slightly, and he fell down unwillingly.
Guangping secretly let out a breath and carried him out of the prison.
The eldest princess's face was filled with worry: "What happened to Ah Xian?"
Guangping briefly told her what had just happened in the prison, and the eldest princess looked puzzled.
She always felt that Xiao Zhao seemed to have said something to Xiao Xian, and Xiao Xian had become so strange since then.
Xiao Xian slept for a long time this time and still did not wake up.
Guangping was extremely worried, and the eldest princess was also uneasy.
Feng Yi was already preparing to leave for Xiling when he heard that the Grand Princess was coming. He frowned and said, "Please come in quickly."
"Does the Grand Princess have anything to bring to Li'er?" Feng Yi asked.
"The Crown Prince of Southern Qi..."
The eldest princess knew that Qu Li and Feng Yi had a deep relationship and there was no possibility for her to be with Xiao Xian.
She asked Feng Yi for help in front of him, asking Qu Li to help Xiao Xian, which was indeed inappropriate.
But now, the situation is tense. Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci are like hopeless people with only selfish and dirty thoughts in their minds. They are simply not capable of taking on important tasks.
Emperor Kang had already suffered a lot after this disaster.
The panic caused by the epidemic in the capital has not completely ended. Only if Xiao Xian steps forward can everything be solved.
But Xiao Xian became like this...
"Grand Princess, you are an elder whom Li'er respects. If you have anything to say, feel free to speak."
"There's something wrong with Ah Xian! That night, I felt like Xiao Zhao had said something to him. Ah Xian went to the prison today and beat up Xiao Zhao. Even after Xiao Zhao died, his fists still didn't stop."
Feng Yi frowned.
This does sound a little off.
"I'll send a message to Li'er now to see if she has any ideas!"
"Then thank you, Prince Nanqi!"
"Li'er misses Princess Changle and Wen Zhao very much. Let them write something as well."
"This..." The Grand Princess didn't expect Feng Yi to be so thoughtful.
"There's no need to feel sorry, Grand Princess. After all, we'll be a family in the future."
The eldest princess smiled and nodded.
If she were Qu Li, she would also choose Feng Yi, who is as gentle as spring breeze and as warm as jade.
Soon, Qu Wenzhao and Changle finished writing the letter, which was handed to Fengyi by the Grand Princess.
Feng Yi put the letter in the mailbox on the Saker Falcon's leg and looked up at the Saker Falcon flapping its wings and flying away.
"After receiving Li'er's reply, send it to the Grand Princess's Mansion immediately." Feng Yi ordered.
"Don't worry, master!" said the deputy leader.
After arranging everything, Feng Yi prepared to set off back to Xiling.
Emperor Kang waited for Xiao Xian for a whole day, but he didn't come into the palace, which made him very angry.
"Ah Xian wants me, the Emperor, to personally invite him into the palace?"
Eunuch Fu leaned forward and whispered, "I heard from the Grand Princess that Prince Chen seems to be ill."
Thinking of the epidemic in the capital, Kangdi's eyebrows jumped heavily, "Could it be that Ah Xian has also been infected? Cough cough cough..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Grand Princess has already sent Imperial Physician Tang over."
Emperor Kang pressed his forehead and said, "Let Princess Yehua take good care of him! Also, let the eldest princess bear some of the burden and help me share the work."
"The Grand Princess is loyal to Da Gan, so you can rest assured and leave everything to her!"
The Grand Princess did not shirk any responsibility. She took the lead in calming the emotions of the people in the capital, telling them that the truth about the epidemic was just a problem with the water source. They needed to concentrate on drawing water recently and not drink raw water that was not officially labeled as "hazard-free."
Imperial Physician Tang and others were also assigned to treat the people who had already fallen ill according to the prescriptions given by Qu Li.
The dark clouds that had been covering the capital's sky for many days finally dissipated, and smiles of relief slowly appeared on everyone's faces.
Qu Li, who was far away in Xiling, finally confirmed after many days of repeated experiments that this cute little red bug that could always inflate its belly so that it was round and liked to kick its hind legs was indeed the Gu King.
That day, she disguised herself and went to the Shadow Pavilion branch, intending to meet the medicine man.
"You came here today to ask me how to use the Gu King to remove the sub-Gu?" The medicine man went straight to the point.
