Chapter 399

In the silent palace, ye Xiyue took a silver needle and was collecting blood for the queen.

The silver needle is thin. In addition, the queen has been dead for some time, and the blood clots in her body. It is not particularly convenient to operate.

On one side, Qi xuyao and Duan Li were standing. No one made a sound, but their eyes looked at Ye Xiyue's action not far away, and their eyes did not move away for a moment.

The color of the blood squeezed out from the fingers has been blackened and dripping in the porcelain white bowl, and a faint smell of flowers is faintly added to the air.

But the smell is no longer as good as before, but with a faint smell of decay, which can even be said to be bad.

Ye Xiyue took out a clean veil and covered her ears and nose slightly to prevent the smell from being inhaled too much to avoid poisoning.

"Your highness and childe Duan had better stay away a little. The blood is poisonous."

The blood collected from the Queen's body, just looking at the black color, ordinary people can guess that it was poisonous, but Qi xuyao and Duan Li didn't move.

The former's face was dignified, and his face looked like wind and rain, with terrible horror.

The latter looked light, as if he didn't care whether he would be poisoned or not.

Ye Xiyue saw that they didn't move and didn't speak much. Instead, she put the porcelain bowl of blood collection on the table, and then took out the silver needle to shake in front of them.

The bottom of the silver needle has also turned black, which can prove that the queen was highly poisonous before she died, so she showed such a color.

But as for her sudden death, it is not an absolute thing whether she was poisoned to seal her throat and die of poisoning.

"Your Highness, this is the sachet you gave me just now. Now I need a mouse to extract the spices and herbs in the sachet and take it to the mouse to see what it will do."

"Mice?" Qi xuyao seemed to have doubts and stared at the silver needle in Ye Xiyue's hand. "Why not directly find someone to test the poison. If you use mice, the results may not be accurate. After all, people are so different from mice."

There is a big difference between human and mouse. They are different in many aspects, such as body shape, organs and so on.

Duan Li on one side heard Qi xuyao's words, his eyes soon showed a trace of irony, and his eyes were gradually cold.

Ye Xiyue frowned and looked at Qi xuyao who didn't notice what he said wrong. She said coldly, "is human life so cheap in your Highness's eyes? It's important to find out the cause of the Queen's death, but it's not necessary to kill an innocent life! Although it's killing life to test the medicine with mice, it's more important than human life..."

The rest of the words, she did not continue to say, do not want to put herself in a too virgin position.

Modern people's ideas are naturally different from those of ancient people, especially Qi xuyao, who was born the son of an emperor and had a noble status.

In his eyes, the eunuch in the palace may be the same as the mouse that ye Xiyue can experiment with.

As soon as her voice fell, Duan Li looked at her. The irony and coldness in her eyes dissipated a little and changed into more complex eyes, just looking at her.

Qi xuyao was stunned. He didn't argue with Ye Xiyue, but said, "then listen to your wife."

He went out and asked the eunuch in charge of the central palace to send someone to catch mice, which can be regarded as meeting Ye Xiyue's requirements.

At the moment when he went out of the hall door, Duan Li suddenly came to Ye Xiyue, smiled and was born and said, "isn't human life cheap in the eyes of his wife?"

"Nature."

Ye Xiyue didn't know Duan Li's intention of suddenly saying this, but she answered him immediately.

Has the final say that madam is also born rich, and is a prime minister, a woman like this family. When the lower government enters the residence, the government signs the sale contract, which is equal to the death or death. The owner can not complain what the master ordered him to die.

Duan Li said this with a slight tone and didn't continue for a long time.

Ye Xiyue glanced at him with a slight pick on the tip of her eyebrows. "What does childe Duan want to say, you might as well say it directly?"

"Duan wants to say that even if the lady really wants to choose a servant to test the poison at will in the palace, it won't be much."

"Really?"

When he said this, his tone was obviously ironic, but he also deliberately said such words to test Ye Xiyue.

Ye Xiyue hooked her lips and snorted softly.

"Why should Duan say such an unkind thing? If human life is so cheap in my eyes, I'm afraid you won't say more to me at all? Although I don't know what the real identity of the childe is, and the death of the empress has something to do with you, I can see that your eyes obviously disapproved when the Grand Prince said that just now Since you don't agree with me, why talk to test me now? "

Duan Li didn't expect Ye Xiyue to be so straightforward. He was trying to say something more. Not far away, footsteps sounded, and he kept silent again.

The footsteps outside gradually approached, and it was obvious that there was more than one person.

Ye Xiyue followed the sound, Qi xuyao walked in front, and behind him, Xiao lie came in expressionless.

At the moment of seeing Xiao lie, her eyes brightened obviously, but on the surface, they were still calm.

Duan Li also looked at Xiao lie, looked at and examined with some points in his eyes, and stepped back a few steps without trace, separated from ye Xiyue.

"Why is the general here?"

When Xiao lie came to him, ye Xiyue naturally walked up, stood on his side and looked up at him with a gentle smile in her eyes.

She seemed to be completely relaxed with his arrival, without the previous half tension and alert, as if she didn't need to worry about anything as long as Xiao lie was there.

The man beside her reached out and took the initiative to hold her hand at the moment she opened her mouth, completely wrapping her slightly cool hand into her warm palm.

There was a warm feeling in her hand, just like a warm current flowing into her heart. Ye Xiyue bent her lips and looked at each other's hands. The bottom of her eyes shook with a warm smile.

"When your Majesty's business is finished, he comes to find his wife. What is your wife doing?"

When Xiao liegang just entered the central palace, he just heard Qi xuyao telling the palace people to catch mice. Don't think about it. He knew it was Ye Xiyue's idea.

Looking at the bowl of blood on the table, which was slightly black and gave off a strange smell, she couldn't understand what she wanted to do.

"Do a little experiment to verify something. General, that's childe Duan over there. Have you seen him before? He's his Majesty's man."

Speaking of the latter words, ye Xiyue deliberately lowered her voice, but when she said the words "Your Majesty's man", she unconsciously accentuated her tone.
