Chapter 400

Your Majesty's men

Hearing this, Xiao lie looked up at Duan Li. Duan Li was not nervous at all. He even returned with a faint smile. He looked very elegant.

It's hard to judge what your majesty does with such a seemingly weak man who has no strength to bind chickens and what he means for a time.

"General Xiao."

Duan Li bowed to Xiao lie at this time. As a small painter in the palace, he can be so humble and arrogant to the general of Shangzhen country, which is tantamount to proving that his identity is not as simple as a painter.

Xiao lie did not speak, but waved his hand casually, which was regarded as taking over his salute.

Even if Duan Li is his Majesty's man, he can't let his eyes stay on him for long.

"What's the lady going to do with the mouse?"

Gentle eyes fell on Ye Xiyue's face again. His tone was a little curious. He probably didn't want to understand what she wanted to do with mice.

"Make an experiment to see if the sachet given to me by the Grand Prince contains the same toxin as the queen."

Ye Xiyue asked Qi xuyao to arrange someone to catch two mice. One gave it poisonous blood collected from the queen, and the other let it smell the spices and herbs in the incense bag to see if they would be poisoned at the same time.

From Qi xuyao's previous reaction and the look after taking out the sachet, she can almost guess what position the person who gave him the sachet has in his mind.

Her eyes fell on the sachet on the table. In her mind, she recalled the sachet that the three princes had shown her before. Although the two sachets were embroidered with different patterns, the stitches seemed to be made by the same person.

Moreover, when the third prince took her to the fragrance building, the Qinyin girl who gave him the sachet also went to the Grand Prince's house and never returned

Just think about it, you can think of more things.

That Qinyin girl must have some skills to deal with the big prince and the third prince at the same time!

Ye Xiyue thought in her heart. When she looked up at Qi xuyao and Duan Li, her eyes flashed slightly, as if she had some new plan.

She clenched Xiao lie's hand and tiptoed to his ear.

"General, if your majesty arranged the whole thing, how should I deal with it?"

Being in the Imperial Palace, if everything is the meaning of Zichen emperor, will she offend Zichen emperor and lead to subsequent events.

Xiao lie glanced at her deeply and clenched her hand.

"Madam, do whatever you want. I'm here for everything!"

The simplest sentence is like a kilogram. It is Xiao lie's commitment to her and the greatest protection for her.

Do whatever you want, even if there is no good result, there is also his reliance. This feeling is something Ye Xiyue has never experienced.

Once upon a time, in modern times, her parents died when she was young. If she hadn't had some talent, she would have been driven out by her family.

After that, she also suffered a lot and learned some skills. In those years, she didn't even have a person to rely on.

After experiencing everything on their own, suddenly a person came out and said they could rely on her. Naturally, that feeling is very satisfied!

"Well, I see."

Although Ye Xiyue answered so, she still had a measure in her heart. She would not embarrass Xiao lie, let alone add any more trouble to him in vain!

Several people waited in the hall for a while. The eunuch in charge outside took a cage in which two gray mice squeaked and attracted everyone's attention.

"Your Highness, here comes the mouse."

The eunuch in charge didn't understand why Qi xuyao asked him to send someone to catch mice and bring them to the hall, but the other party was the master. Naturally, the master would do whatever he asked.

"Put it."

"Yes, your highness."

The steward put down the mouse cage and bowed back.

"Madam, the mouse has been caught. What are you going to do?"

Qi xuyao's eyes naturally fell on Ye Xiyue and frowned to see what tricks she could make.

Ye Xiyue didn't say much, but gently released Xiao lie's hand, raised her feet and walked forward a few steps, walked to the table, looked down at the squeaky two mice in the cage.

The man in charge was a careful man. He was probably afraid of the mouse. He had a thin rope tied to the mouse's legs.

In this way, even if the mouse is released from the cage, it will not run away.

She nodded with satisfaction, opened the cage and directly caught a mouse out. She was very skillful.

With one hand on the mouse's head, the other hand picked up the bowl containing blood and fed blood to the mouse.

It is still difficult for ordinary people to operate, but it is not at all difficult for ye Xiyue, who was used to experimenting with white mice in her previous life.

Duan Li kept looking at her, the more he looked at her, the brighter his eyes were.

In his eyes, ye Xiyue is like a surprise full of unknown. The more you look at it, the greater the surprise!

The mouse was forced to feed several mouthfuls of blood. After a while, it didn't have much strength to lie on the table, sad and weak.

Looking at it like this, ye Xiyue didn't make any expression, but took out the sachet given to her by Qi xuyao, opened it directly and mixed the spices and herbs together.

Another mouse in the cage was caught by her. In the same way, she pressed her head and put the mixed herbs into its mouth.

This time, the little mouse struggled more violently than before. He fluttered his hands and feet, resisted desperately, and didn't want to swallow the medicine.

When all the herbs mixed in his hand were fed, ye Xiyue's forehead was full of sweat beads.

Xiao lie stepped forward, took out a handkerchief and helped her dry the sweat on her forehead.

She turned her head to him with a gentle smile, and then released the little mouse in her hand.

Different from the previous mouse, this one was fed with herbs. After being placed on the table, it was not only not dying, but also very active, squeaking and seemed to want to get off the table.

The two mice reacted so differently, but ye Xiyue was not in a hurry.

She has done a lot of experiments in her last life. She knows that just eating these things, even if the reaction is different, it can't represent anything.

We can only be more patient and continue to wait. After a while, it is time to really know the experimental results.

Qi xuyao looked at her doing all this. His expression was skeptical. He seemed to want to ask, but he didn't know why. He only frowned and didn't ask questions.

But Duan Li didn't understand. He looked at the two mice and looked up at Ye Xiyue.

"Madam, people and mice are different after all. Even if their symptoms are the same for a while, it doesn't mean anything!"
