Chapter 1052 Emperor of Xiliang
Seeing Shanlai again after more than a year, there is no change from the last time I saw Lili in the prison.
It's just that the clothes they wear are different.
It is different from the clothes of the people of Nanling, and even the ordinary people of Xiliang, and it is not the clothes of the royal family of Xiliang.
The color is based on black, embroidered with colorful neon, decorated with tassels, with an exotic style.
It's similar to what the women of the Holy Witch tribe wear.
Feng Qingbai and Xue Qinglian looked at each other and almost spoke in unison.
Gu doctors.
The old eunuch had no choice but to suspect Gu.
Watching the woman walk into the House of Internal Affairs and being respectfully welcomed into the old eunuch's room by the servants, Xue Qinglian immediately moved to the vicinity of that room.
As the guard of the old eunuch, that's the good thing. He can eavesdrop openly and aboveboard, and he can also be called the guardian of the master.
After flying over to find a place to hide, seeing Feng Qingbai still in the original place, Xue Qinglian sent a voice transmission, "Hey, why don't you come here?"
"Oh, I can hear you right here."
"..." Xue Qinglian turned her face silently, if he said a word to Feng Qingbai before the end of the day, he would be a bastard.
Looking into the room through the specially found slit of vision, one can just see the position of the big bed in the room.
Seeing Shan Lai coming, the old eunuch who was lying on the bed covered in fear immediately got up, got out of bed and saluted the woman respectfully.
This scene made Xue Qinglian shrink her eyelids.
Even in front of the elders of the Holy Witch Clan, those elders were at most on an equal footing with the old eunuchs, and even his right to speak even stabilized the elders of the Holy Witch Clan. I didn't expect that Shan Lai could make this dead eunuch respectful. What is her identity?
"Miss Shanlai, thank you for coming here in person, the miscellaneous family really has nothing to do, otherwise I would never dare to disturb you..." When speaking, the old eunuch even smiled apologetically at Shanlai.
"My father-in-law is serious, I happen to be in the capital, and my father-in-law has something to ask, how can I not come." Shan Lai smiled, reached out to support the old eunuch, and followed his pulse.
This is an immediate pulse diagnosis.
The old eunuch was overjoyed, he stood firm and didn't dare to move, so as not to disturb the woman's pulse detection.
After a breath, the woman withdrew her hand and frowned slightly.
"Miss Shanlai, how are you?"
"Eunuch has not been poisoned, and there is no sign of poisoning on his body."
With almost the same answer as all the imperial doctors, the joy in the eyes of the old eunuch faded instantly, and climbed into the shadows, "How could this be, nothing happened, how could the miscellaneous family become like this? It can't be without a reason, it must be somewhere. wrong!"
Seeing that the old eunuch's breath was unstable and showing signs of madness, Shan Lai pondered for a while, "If we must investigate the cause, I tend to think that the father-in-law may have been poisoned."
"But didn't the girl say that Zajia had no signs of poisoning?"
"What if it's a poison that can't be detected?"
"..."
"There are many capable people and hermits among the people, each with their own supernatural powers. For example, the father-in-law is bleeding for no reason, which is extremely strange. Just as the father-in-law said, it is impossible without a reason." Shan Lai said lightly, "As far as I know, the Nanling side There is a ghost doctor whose ability to use poison is unpredictable, if he does it, ordinary doctors can't find out the reason, that's normal."
"Ghost doctor?" The old eunuch's pupils dilated, "Ghost doctor in Nanling? But we are in Xiliang, within the border city of Xiliang, it is absolutely impossible for people from other countries to come and go!"
"Didn't your father-in-law just come back from the border town?"
With a soft word from the woman, the old eunuch was almost defeated.
No, didn't he just come back from the border town!
In other words, it is very possible that the ghost doctor is in the border town, and even laid hands on him!
It's just that he couldn't figure it out, he usually had a team of guards around him, it was absolutely impossible for ordinary people to get close to him, and the ghost doctor really appeared by his side, the guards couldn't possibly be unaware.
When and how did the other party attack?
"And even if it wasn't the hands of the ghost doctor, he can at least find out whether you have been poisoned."
After saying this, Shan Lai's expression was light, "There's only so much I can do, I can't help my father-in-law to relieve his worries. Father-in-law, please find another talented person as soon as possible, and take care of your health."
Nodding to the old eunuch, Shan Lai turned around and was about to leave.
"Miss Shanlai, stop!" The old eunuch stopped her, "If I can find a ghost doctor, is it possible that my strange disease can be cured?"
"If we can find him, my father-in-law may still have hope."
Shanlai left, but the old eunuch felt as if he had caught a glimmer of hope.
And Xue Qinglian in the corner gritted her teeth with hatred. Why the hell is this scourge everywhere?
Alright, we have to pull him out, to bring hatred, right?
Looking coldly at the direction in which the woman was leaving, Xue Qinglian sneered and left the House of Internal Affairs like a ghost.
He is not afraid of the hidden guards around him, the face he is wearing now is a companion in the eyes of those idiots, no matter what he does, it will not easily arouse suspicion.
Feng Qingbai watched him leave without stopping, and continued to hide in the corner, admiring the ecstatic appearance of the old eunuch at this time.
This is his only hope now, the happier he is at the moment, the more desperate he will be when his hope fails in the end.
It's just that he probably never thought of what he was doing to end up like this until he died.
Finally, when Xue Qinglian came back, she ran over refreshed and squeezed him, but he didn't ask him what he was doing.
Gradually night.
There are more and more people in the imperial garden of the palace, and the servants are busily shuttling among them, preparing for the reception banquet for the Holy Witch Clan.
Apart from the members of the Shengwu tribe, only the emperor, several princes in the royal family and some concubines in the harem will attend such a reception banquet, and no courtiers will be seen.
Because the holy witch clan only served the emperor, and the people they brought were only dedicated to prolonging the life of the emperor, which is really disgraceful.
At least the emperor didn't think it was a matter of face, so he never invited the courtiers to attend, lest the officials in the court would come up to him and make an indignant statement with countless more arguments.
At Xu time in the evening, Liu Yusheng and his party were invited to the imperial garden by the eunuchs. At that time, the Xiliang emperor was already present, and on the seats around him, there were also several concubines and men in fine clothes.
When Liu Yusheng looked up, he even found the prince who was bumped into by Qianlan in the morning among the crowd.
His eyes flicked past, and finally stopped at the bright yellow figure in the middle of the seat.
Immediately, an accident flashed across Liu Yusheng's eyes.
She thought that the ninety-year-old emperor looked old, but what she saw was beyond her expectations.
The emperor of Xiliang was wearing a dragon robe, his hair was already snow-white, but there were not many wrinkles on his face, his eyes were bright and energetic, half-opened and half-closed, the majesty of the emperor was fully displayed.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he has a youthful face, but just looking at his performance, it is impossible to tell that he is ninety years old.
But this can't reduce Liu Yusheng's dislike for him.
Just because he used the Holy Witch woman as a tool is extremely disgusting.
