The atmosphere of the entire Chengde Villa changed in an instant, everyone even breathed carefully, they didn't know what happened, but those guards who usually only stood in the corner were walking around looking for something, and the people in the kitchen were all taken away. Let's go, something must have happened.
Donghe and Xiahe both checked in Daohuayuan, and no suspicious person was found. As for those who were taken away as errands in the kitchen, they were not interrogated. Xiaoxizi was tortured, but he still insisted that the fish was He caught them in the creek and kept them in a wooden bucket in the kitchen, and there were two left that didn't go into the pot.
"Your Majesty, why don't we go back to the palace." Hong Ling said with a pale face, if Zhao Ning wasn't here today, no one in the entire villa would have found anything wrong with the fish.
The palace is even more unsafe!
"Where's Zhao Ning?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"I've already returned to the house." Hongying said, "It's lucky to have her today. She grew up in a fishing village, so she can distinguish the difference between fish and meat."
Ye Zhen shook her head and smiled, she owed Zhao Ning another favor.
"Your Majesty!" Lin Zhiran walked in hurriedly, and hurriedly saluted Ye Zhen.
"Has Xiao Xizi recruited it?" Hong Ling asked Lin Zhiran, Xiao Xizi caught the fish in the creek, and he roasted it himself, if there is a problem, he is the first to suspect it.
"The two fish he mentioned were found in the kitchen. The servants have tasted them, and they are different. One has been given medicine, and the other has not. It is the same as what we ate before." Lin Zhiran panted, The fish that has been fed with medicine can taste a slightly bitter taste without adding any ingredients, which is easier to detect than the grilled fish with ingredients.
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "Xiao Xizi's fish are all caught from the stream, let's wait for Xue Lin and the others to come back."
In the afternoon, Xue Lin and Wu Chong came back from outside.
"Someone threw a lot of fish into the creek, and at least ten of the fish caught in a basket were fed with medicine. The subordinates traced it all the way to the upper reaches. I heard from the nearby people that there was movement in the middle of the night a few days ago. They were afraid it was the fish. What a strange thing, so I dare not come out to see, Madam, these fish were deliberately thrown into the creek." Xue Lin said, someone deliberately killed the Empress, because Chengde Villa was heavily guarded and could not enter, so they could only use the outside of the villa to catch the fish. To be able to throw so many fish into the creek, it can be seen that this person is not that simple.
It was exactly as she had guessed! Ye Zhen's face darkened. After attacking Hu Yue'er, she would not let her child go. If the villa hadn't been guarded like an iron wall, the other party would not be able to attack her. She would have ended up like Hu Yue'er long ago. Putting fish in it is a helpless move, it can't take her life, so is it necessary to take the life of her child
The fire in Ye Zhen's heart is about to burst out, who is it? So unscrupulous to kill her
No, it wasn't to harm her, it was aimed at Murong Zhan, the poison Hu Yueer was to hit Murong Zhan, and the fish were released into the creek to get rid of her children, no matter how you look at it, it was all aimed at Murong Zhan here.
"Did you pass this matter back to the palace?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Xue Lin said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, someone has already sent someone to inform the Emperor."
"All the food in the villa comes from outside, and they have to be checked carefully. Since someone wants to prescribe medicine, they will definitely not use only one method. After checking everything, the people in the villa will let them out if there is no problem after checking. " Ye Zhen still trusts the people around her, if someone can bribe the people in the villa, then she won't put fish in the creek.
"Yes, ma'am." Xue Lin answered in a low voice. He also believed in the people in the villa. The entire villa was personally selected by the emperor. It is impossible to be bribed unless he didn't know it, just like Xiao Xizi went to How can he see that there is something wrong with the fish when he catches fish in the creek.
Mo Rongzhan came to the villa in the evening, Ye Zhen was walking with Zhao Ning in the garden, when he saw him striding forward, his face was ashen and cold, as if a layer of frost would float on the ground he passed. Everyone around him turned pale with fright, and knelt down to salute tremblingly.
Even Zhao Ning was too scared to speak by Murong Zhan's cold aura.
"Your Majesty, you are here." Ye Zhen showed a brilliant smile, trying to ease his stern expression.
Without saying a word, Mo Rongzhan grabbed Ye Zhen's wrist and led her to the Daohuayuan.
After a long time, Hongling and Hongying slowly stood up, their legs were weak.
"The emperor... why are you here?" Zhao Ning asked in a low voice, "He looks very angry, he won't be angry with the empress, right?"
"No." Hong Ling replied in a low voice, the emperor must be worried about the empress.
Of course Mo Rongzhan was worried about Ye Zhen. When he heard that someone was prescribing medicine to kill her, the murderous aura he suppressed in his heart permeated the entire hall. He ran non-stop all the way to the villa, and saw her standing in front of him with a smile. Only then did I feel my own heartbeat.
"I'm fine." Ye Zhen hooked his finger and said softly, "It's just that there is something wrong with the fish, and everything else has been checked. Those people haven't had a chance to do anything yet."
Mo Rongzhan glanced at her, "Are you not afraid at all?"
"Scared!" Ye Zhen put her arms around his waist, "I'm afraid they will hurt you in the end."
"You're not worried about yourself, but you are worried about me?" Murong Zhan's eyes widened. Did she know how much he was afraid of her getting hurt? He never knew what fear was, only she let him try this feeling.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I'll be fine, it's not so easy for others to poison me."
"You are really going to piss me off!" Murongzhan nodded her forehead, "I thought it would be the safest place to put you in Chengde Villa, but I didn't expect those people to still refuse to let you go."
"They attacked me only for you, you should be careful in the palace." Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, "Is Hu Yue'er poisoned?"
Mo Rongzhan looked down at her, "Did you guess it?"
"Besides this reason, I can't think of why you said she was pregnant." Ye Zhen said, "Ah Zhan, who is it? He was able to poison the palace. I feel scared when I think of you every day in the palace. You let me go back to the palace, I want to stay by your side."
She is at least a doctor, and she has a spiritual spring, so she can definitely protect him.
Mo Rongzhan rubbed her shoulders, "I will take you back when I find him out, now is not the time."
Ye Zhen was disappointed, she knew he would say that.
He just can't trust her, she doesn't want to just hide behind his back, she can also fight side by side with him.
"How is Hu Yueer now?" Ye Zhen suppressed the bitterness in her heart and asked about Hu Yueer's situation.
