The old emperor: "..."
She said nothing.
These words both praised and belittled her. It's too obscure and too straightforward. She couldn't pick it up.
I feel angry and ashamed.
More anger and more shame.
At the same time, doubts are indeed rising.
As Di Ying said: No one who can survive in the harem and come out on top will show their thoughts or emotions on their face.
She had it on her face, and then she hit rock bottom.
After decades of ups and downs, she has already learned what it means to remain calm.
Even if she takes the throne and takes charge, moving from behind the scenes to the front, even if she indulges her temperament, she is not used to letting others interpret her emotions at will.
Especially when interpreted by ministers.
The emperor's heart cannot be measured unexpectedly. If the measurement is too accurate, there is only a dead end. That's the truth.
So, how could she, who had long been familiar with this...how could she become both happy and angry?
Is it really as Di Ying said: is it caused by drugs?
But although the effect of this drug is brutal, how does it affect me?
The old emperor looked at Di Ying.
Di Ying walked towards her.
Step by step, he walked towards her.
This made the old emperor suddenly feel like retreating.
It suddenly felt ridiculous.
Then he moved his waist, shifted his sitting posture, and subconsciously sat upright.
Di Ying gave her a strange look, then stopped at the side of the dragon case, handed over the sap beads with one hand, and motioned for His Majesty to smell it.
Asked: "Are you familiar with this smell?"
The old emperor: "..."
She glared at Di Ying, then cautiously moved forward and took a deep sniff.
Frowning, frowning tightly, he said with some uncertainty: "This should be the aroma of rosewood, right? Everything made of rosewood has this smell. I really like smelling it."
After saying that, the old emperor saw: Di Ying pinched the sap bead and roasted it casually on the candlelight.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, it can be clearly seen that the part of the sap beads that have been roasted by the fire has softened and the sap has seeped out.
Di Ying changed hands and wiped the oozing tree sap onto the dragon table.
Just touch it and raise your hand.
It wasn't much, but the part that was applied, within a few breaths, had merged with Long An, making it indistinguishable to the inner eye.
Before the old emperor could react, Di Ying took out another fire stick from his arms, blew it brightly, and then lit the flames across the table of the Dragon Case.
Especially the seat where the old emperor often sat opposite.
After going back and forth to burn the fire several times, the old emperor could clearly see that there was a layer of light water droplets on the surface of the dragon case where it had been burned by the fire.
The dragon case is a vermilion color, some of the water droplets are slightly green, and some have different shades of red. Green with red, or red with green.
The old emperor believed that those red colors were definitely not the color of vermillion paint, but the color of her own flesh and blood.
And at this time, the sweet aroma that she liked smelled in her nose, and it became more obvious after being burned by the fire.
The old emperor gasped and fell into the back of his chair.
But with only one breath, she jumped up again and quickly stood farthest away from the dragon case.
Some trembled their lips and asked, "Where else?"
Fifteen years, fifteen years!
The old emperor absolutely didn't believe it, it was only in the Long Case.
How deliberate is this? How vicious and cruel?
Di Ying listened to the question, put out the fire seal, and looked at the old emperor.
He replied clearly: "Under the dragon bed, on the pillars of the palace, on the dragon chair, on the window frames... as long as there are vermilion-colored wooden objects, there are probably places that a person with a height of 170 centimeters can reach with both hands."
If Wei Chen guessed correctly, there should be a lot of things in the royal study. "
The old emperor took a step back.
She could hear her heart beating frantically.
There were some gold stars flashing in front of my eyes, and there was a piercing sound in my ears.
But this time, she held on.
Just when he was about to ask something, he heard Di Ying say: "Actually, Your Majesty, you should thank Lin Xianjun. Although he provided such sap beads under coercion.
But have you discovered it? The sap beads Wei Chen took out were pure and transparent in color.
The water droplets on the dragon table that were burned by the fire all had a faint green color.
Those green colors are left by the juice of the trees and leaves.
Poisonous plants or poisons have a characteristic that there must be an antidote within a hundred meters of where they are found.
The leaves of that tree are the antidote to the sap.
Under duress, Lin Xianjun didn't want to really harm you, so he added leaf juice to the sap beads without telling the person behind it.
This is probably why you have persisted for fifteen years. But he didn't dare to add too much, otherwise it would be discovered if it was ineffective.
In fact, Lin Xianjun probably did not find this sap.
Do you remember Zeng Yu? The man who was obsessed with landscapes, wanted to paint all the great rivers and mountains of the country, and was not obsessed with officialdom.
He should have discovered it accidentally. Then he told others about it as a rare thing.
However: the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. It was passed to the ears of a caring person.
Your Majesty, do you know how Zeng Yu is doing now? Before Wei Chen arrived in Dadu, he received news from his subordinates: his entire family had been killed fifteen years ago.
Only his daughter, Zeng Xuezhi, who was married far away, managed to survive.
As for Zeng Xuezhi, she didn't even know that her entire family had been silenced.
The person who wanted to do something concealed the matter in order to get the whereabouts of the sap beads from Zeng Xuezhi. In the end, it was discovered that Lin Xianjun, not Zeng Xuezhi, was the one who knew about the sap beads.
After that, the man went to Shezhou and met Huang Ronggui secretly. And let Huang Ronggui control Lin Xianjun, let him provide sap beads for a long time and keep this secret. However, it may be more than that. Maybe that person also used his identity to threaten Lin Xianjun. "
At this point, Di Ying changed her tone.
Then he said: "But after waiting for fifteen years, some people can't wait anymore. After Weichen became the governor of Jiangnan Province, Lin Xianjun probably heard about Weichen and asked Weichen for help.
It's a pity that Huang Ronggui discovered it.
Huang Ronggui imprisoned him and wanted to find out the source of the sap beads.
Lin Xianjun did not tell anyone until his death.
But after doing this for fifteen years, there is always something that can be found out.
Wei Chen found traces left after Lin Xianjun disappeared on those trees. In other words: Huang Ronggui found those trees after all.
But he also discovered that the sap beads were pure and transparent, and the sap beads handed over by Lin Xianjun had light green inside.
Huang Ronggui probably only knew that he had to hand over the sap beads, and the people above him would not tell him the true purpose of the beads.
Therefore, he must have misjudged the characteristics of the beads and thought that the light green ones were correct.
Because it has been handed over for fifteen years, the people above did not say that the light green is useless.
There is nothing wrong with his judgment.
But he didn't know what those light greens were. When interrogating Lin Xianjun, Lin Xianjun most likely became smart.
As for the origin of that color, only his wife Zeng Xuezhi knows.
As a result, there was a series of actions taken by Huang Ronggui and others against Zeng Xuezhi. "
