The maid said: "Last night, she appeared suddenly and wanted to see what was in the basket, so we let her see. She squeezed the steamed buns and smelled the lotus seed soup, and told us to take good care of the two. She's a famous doctor. We just thought she was speaking from the bottom of my heart. When something happened to famous doctor Shi, we actually already had some clues in our minds: it must have something to do with the princess."
These two maids are not fools, can they not think of Li Ying!
In an instant, Rong Changan also thought of Li Ying's purpose for doing this. If Shi Zangyong is killed, Zixuan cannot be cured, and Zixuan's illness will not be cured, so she and the prince can persuade the king to send troops to Dajing Kingdom, so that they can profit from it.
"Okay, let's go down!" Rong Changan said.
The maid did not dare to move: "Concubine Xue, you... don't forget the promise you made to us just now, don't tell the princess, we told you."
"You can rest assured, I, Xueer, am not the kind of person who breaks promises."
The two maids got Rong Chang'an's guarantee and went downstairs.
Rong Changan can call the king and Yan Li up now.
"Guards!" she called downstairs, "invite the king here."
After a while, the king came upstairs with Yan Li and Jin Renxin. Just now, Yan Li told the king about the serious consequences if the two countries go to war, and the king very much agreed with Yan Li's suggestion: It is best for the two countries not to go to war!
Seeing the joy on the face of "Concubine Xue", he guessed that the case had progressed, and asked impatiently, "Concubine Xue, what did you find?"
Rong Changan smiled and said, "It's not that we found something, it's that I already know who the murderer is."
The king and Yan Li were shocked, and asked in unison, "Who is it?"
Rong Changan looked at the king with strange eyes, she thought for a while: "If His Majesty the King knows who killed Shi Zangyong, will he execute her? Doesn't matter who she is?"
The king said seriously: "The famous doctor Shi came to treat Zixuan's illness. The murderer who killed the famous doctor Shi was tantamount to killing Zixuan. He had a grudge against me. Why should I not deal with him! Concubine, please tell me, who is it?"
"King, please come here!" Rong Changan reached out and pointed at the chair beside her, signaling the king to sit on the chair.
The king sat down and asked again, "Who is it?"
Rong Changan dipped in the tea and wrote two words on the table. The king took a look, and looked at Rong Changan suspiciously for a long time.
"Concubine, you... you are writing about the murderer?"
Rong Changan nodded: "It was she who deliberately looked at the baskets of the two maids and poisoned them."
The king gasped, and the more he thought about it, the more impossible he felt: "Why did she do that?"
Rong Changan: "Because she wants Tianchi Kingdom to fight against Dajing Kingdom."
Having said this, the king fully understood. It's no wonder that Li Ying always persuaded him to hurry up and fight the Great Jing Kingdom. In order to prompt the two to go to war, she did so many hateful things.
Rong Chang'an seemed to see the question in his heart from the king's frown: "Does the king want to ask, why does she want the two countries to go to war so much?"
The king looked at Chang'an with interest.
"For revenge!"
Then Rong Changan leaned close to the king's ear and said softly, "Li and Yan are incompatible!"
The king understood again: Li Ying is the remnant of the Li dynasty, how could she tolerate her younger brother being killed by Yan Li and Rong Chang'an, and let them take away the country of Dajing!
"This bastard! I always thought she was doing it for the sake of the people of Tianchi Kingdom, and my family. So she has such a shameful conspiracy in her heart." The king gritted his teeth, "I'll call her here now, and confront her in court!"
"It's too late!" Rong Changan said.
Yan Li and the king were taken aback.
"Why is it too late?" asked the king.
Just now Rong Changan looked down at the attic and found that Old Zhao had already fled quickly. If she guessed correctly, Old Zhao must have tipped off Li Ying.
Old Zhao is honest and will not kill Shi Zangyong, but it does not mean that he is not Li Ying's man!
If Li Ying knew that Rong Changan had found her out, how could she sit still and wait for death? If Rong Changan was Li Ying, he would definitely meet up with the prince and tell him about the affairs in the palace. Seeing that their alliance was seen through, the prince would definitely take the risk and raise troops hastily. As a result, the Tianchi country will suffer! The king, Zixuan, and Rong Chang'an and others will also be killed.
"If the king doesn't believe it, he can immediately send someone to invite the princess." Rong Changan said.
The king shouted: "Guards, go invite the princess! If she doesn't come, bring her with a knife!"
"yes!"
The guards seldom saw such a murderous king. They rushed to the palace of the princess with their swords.
"Hey, what are you doing? This is for the princess..." the eunuch who was waiting at the gate of the palace said viciously.
The guard didn't wait for him to finish, and replied sternly: "The king has an order, please go to the attic to see the princess. If the princess doesn't want to see you, you have to take her with a knife around her neck!"
The eunuch was stunned: "Really... really the king's oral order?"
"If you don't believe me, father-in-law, you can go to the attic with us." The guard said.
The eunuch smiled: "How dare, how dare! But the princess is not in the palace."
"Where did you go?" the guard asked hurriedly.
The eunuch said: "Not long ago, she left the palace, and I don't know where she went."
The two guards had no choice but to come back and reply to the king, repeating what the eunuch had said.
"She's not in the palace, where can she go?" the king angrily said, "She's not in the palace at this time!"
Rong Changan's eyes were full of hatred, and his face was solemn: "She is not in the palace on purpose!"
The king's ears twitched twice, and he asked in puzzlement, "What does the imperial concubine mean by this?"
Now it was a critical moment, Rong Changan didn't want to say something that only showed his face to the king, so he went straight to the point.
"King, now we must act!"
The king was even more puzzled: "What action to take?"
Although the king didn't understand what "Concubine Xue Gui" said, Yan Li already knew it.
"Xue'er, tell the king quickly, what should we do!"
Rong Chang'an said: "If we don't take action immediately, we will all die, including you, king!"
From the pauses in the language of "Concubine Xue", the king realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Do you think the princess will..."
Rong Changan glanced at the two guards beside him, and asked the king, "Are these two guards reliable?"
The king said: "They have followed me for many years, how unreliable they are! I guarantee it with my life."
"King, many of the guards in the palace are either the princess's or the prince's, so the king must be careful in his affairs." Jin Renxin reminded the king that when he came, he was blocked by the head of the guards outside the gate. The king said it again.
Don't say I don't know, the king was stunned for a moment, feeling that the whole country was no longer up to him.
"Are you still loyal to me?" The king asked the two guards in a daze.
The guard knelt on the ground, kowtowed to bleed, and took out the big knife from his waist and put it on the ground: "If the king thinks that we are unfaithful, we will see our heads be chopped off immediately!"
The voice was solemn and stirring, and tears fell like rain.
The king also moistened his eyes, and helped the two of them up: "Get up quickly, I believe you!"
Now in the attic hall, there are Rong Changan, Yan Li, the king, Jin Renxin, and two guards who are loyal to the king.
"Concubine, you just asked, what do you mean by whether these two guards are reliable?" the king asked.
Rong Changan said: "If my guess is correct, the princess and the prince will definitely raise troops today! Therefore, we must ensure that only a few of us know what I will ask everyone to do next, otherwise, let the princess and the prince The prince listened to it, and the big thing is over!"
King: "The noble concubine, please assign tasks."
