Chapter 235: Late-night meeting, an ominous feeling, someone is plotting

The palace maid did not dare to defy Made Ying Zheng's command.

Although the atmosphere in the palace was very oppressive, she still obediently ate the elixir.

As soon as the elixir entered her abdomen, a trace of rosiness appeared on the palace maid's pale face.

Made Ying Zheng's gaze stared fixedly at the palace maid's changes.

The palace maid had originally thought that what she ate was poison.

Next, she would surely die.

Yet she did not expect that the elixir did not make her die immediately.

Instead, after entering her abdomen, it brought a warm current to her whole body.

"How do you feel?"

Made Ying Zheng's gaze stared fixedly at the palace maid, then asked.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I only feel a warm current throughout my body."

The palace maid obediently answered Made Ying Zheng's words.

Made Ying Zheng's eyes lowered slightly, and finally he waved his hand to let her go.

After the palace maid left, Made Ying Zheng said to Watching Zhang Han.

"In the next few days, feed her five pills every day."

Although looking at the palace maid's changes just now, it did not seem like there was a problem with the elixir.

But for some reason, the Ghost's words still left a very deep mark in Made Ying Zheng's heart.

Made Ying Zheng decided to test this elixir.

Watching Zhang Han did not know what His Majesty had encountered outside the palace, but he did not dare to refute Made Ying Zheng's order.

After Ge Nie left the palace, he immediately arrived at Li Si's manor.

Li Si was the Left Chancellor, and with Made Ying Zheng's favor, his manor was very easy to find.

Ge Nie also did not know why the first target he chose to investigate after leaving the palace was Li Si.

Perhaps in his heart, he had already determined that Li Si was absolutely involved in the events of those years.

Inside the study,

Li Si held a letter in his hand, and he finished reading the contents of the letter with a gloomy face.

Subsequently, he found a fire-starter and lit the envelope.

The entire letter burned to ashes in the fire.

Li Si sat quietly on the chair.

He really did not expect that so many things had happened during this period.

Movement sounded outside the door.

A servant came up to report that an official had come to visit.

Li Si tidied his sleeves, opened the study door, and walked out.

Regardless, he had to maintain the power system in his hands.

And this was the foundation upon which he could survive.

Not long after he went out, a figure appeared in the study.

Ge Nie scanned Li Si's study.

Those sharp eyes searched everywhere for anything he found suspicious.

The pile of ashes on the ground quickly attracted Ge Nie's attention.

Staring fixedly at the pile of ashes, Ge Nie did not approach it.

He absolutely could not leave any traces in Li Si's study.

Ge Nie knew that he had definitely arrived a step late, letting Li Si destroy some evidence.

However, he did not let go of other things and began to search the study carefully.

……

After finishing the matter, Li Si rubbed his somewhat swollen head.

Recent events had come one after another; there were too many.

The annoyance on his face instantly turned into vigilance the moment he opened the study door.

He did not know why, but he always felt that the study seemed to have undergone a slight change.

This change was very slight.

But he was an extremely cautious person.

His caution also successfully allowed him to transform from a commoner into a Chancellor.

Li Si trusted his caution very much.

Someone had been here.

This thought immediately appeared in his mind.

Li Si's gaze immediately fixed on the pile of ashes on the ground.

The ashes remained the same as when he had just left, without any change.

What was going on?

"After I left, has anyone been here?"

Li Si looked at the servant outside his door.

His study was the most important place in the entire manor, so there were people guarding it all year round.

Li Si viewed his study as more important than any other place.

"No."

The servant outside the door said very affirmatively.

He had been on duty all day today, and absolutely no one had entered the Lord's study.

But even after receiving the servant's affirmative answer, Li Si's heart still did not lose that trace of suspicion.

Late at night,

candle flames flickered in the room.

At this time, most people had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Outside the house, it was quiet.

Li Si did not sleep, but was thinking about his subsequent countermeasures.

Today, regardless of whether anyone had come to his study or not, it served as a reminder.

He must have attracted the attention of some people.

Just as Li Si was pondering how to resolve this matter next,

a black shadow flew in through the window with a whistling sound.

Li Si's gaze subconsciously noticed the object thrown into the room.

His figure quickly appeared at the window, opened it, and looked outside.

Outside the house, it was still the familiar scene, without any change. ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
