Ling Chen sternly said: "Li Xia, explain in detail what all of you did after Concubine Yi entered the door, and bring the two maids of Concubine Yi along."
Li Xia's face was pale, and he recounted everything Wen Heng said and did after entering the door, and what Lan Ling said and did after he entered the door. Jixiang added some more.
After Li Xia finished speaking, Ling Chen raised his head and asked Wen Heng's girl, "Is what they said right, did they miss anything?"
Cardamom replied, "No, that's it."
"Concubine Yi personally poured a cup of tea for the empress? Did she drink two cups of tea by herself?" Ling Chen asked again.
"Yes, Concubine Yi said she was thirsty, she picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, she refilled another cup herself, and refilled the cup for Empress Empress." Li Xia described it in detail as much as possible.
In a daze, Lan Ling saw himself on a mountain. It seemed to be dusk, and the distant mountain was covered with black mist.
This is where? Why is this place so familiar
In the front yard, there is a beautiful tree at the door, and the two trunks are embracing and intertwined. Oh, lover tree, Lan Ling remembered.
In this yard, there is a small nameplate hanging at the door: Humble Garden.
Lan Ling looked at the shiny fruits on the opposite mountain, and really wanted to go and pick some. She walked over, passed the lover tree, and walked to the side of the stream, but she couldn't get out anyway.
There seemed to be a spell here, and she turned and turned back to the same place.
When she returned to the Humble Garden, she saw a tall man with his hands behind his back standing under the lover tree, with a cold expression on his face. It looked like Ling Chen from a distance, but when he walked in, he didn't seem to be, it looked very strange.
He didn't find Lan Ling. Standing under the tree, motionless.
Lan Ling saw that his face was shining brightly, it turned out that he was crying.
"Qingyun, I know I was wrong. How long are you going to punish me?" Lan Ling heard him whispering.
"I never thought that I would lose you. You saved me, but I have been wronging you all the time. Qingyun, how can I find you? Tell me, how can I see you again? I was wrong, and I would rather die now! "He seemed in utter pain.
Lan Ling reached out and patted him, but didn't touch him. He didn't respond either.
They seem to be in two different spaces.
Lan Ling has been standing behind him, watching him silently.
After a while, he pulled out a soft sword from his waist, stabbed a few words on the tree with the sword, and slammed his hand on the trunk, and disappeared in an instant.
Lan Ling stepped forward and saw the words: There is a lover under the lover tree.
He also uses a soft sword, is he Ling Chen, or is he Yuan Lie? Lan Ling touched the words just carved on the tree with his hand
Ling Chen stayed in Wangyou Palace for three consecutive days, and Lan Ling never woke up.
The newly married Dou Wan'er was named Concubine Wan. She already knew what happened.
The fetuses of the queen and concubine Yi were gone on the day of her wedding. I don't know who is so ruthless, not only made the emperor lose his heir, but also made things difficult for the emperor's wedding day, killing three birds with one stone.
She is a princess. Growing up in the palace since childhood, he is well versed in the way of the harem. In the past three days, she only went to the queen's palace to take a look, and saw that the emperor was hugging the queen all the time, without even looking at her, so she walked out.
It turns out that the emperor and the empress are so affectionate. It is widely rumored that the emperor loves Concubine Yi the most. Concubine Yi made a big mistake and the emperor has been protecting her. But she looked at the way the emperor looked at the empress. The one the emperor loves is the empress.
Gu Huaxuan.
Ling Chen withdrew today and sat in Wangyou Palace for a while, Lan Ling still hadn't woken up.
Ling Chen came out of Wangyou Palace and arrived at Gu Huaxuan. When he came in, King Rui, Bai Shaoting, and Huo Jingyun had already stood by for a long time. Seeing him, everyone bowed down to salute.
Ling Chen raised his hand, "Don't be too polite, do you have any clues?" He sat behind the desk and leaned forward to ask.
King Rui frowned and remained silent, while Huo Jingyun's eyes were gloomy.
Bai Shaoting saluted: "Your Majesty, the poisoner was very cautious and did not leave any clues. Through the investigation of the past few days, I have not obtained direct evidence pointing to any one person, but according to the girl's statement, there are also two maids on weekdays. Daily habits, Weichen has an idea, but he really can't say it."
King Rui glared at Bai Shaoting fiercely, it seemed that the two should have had a dispute just now.
"I don't like guessing riddles." Ling Chen said.
Bai Shaoting said again: "If the minister is wrong, please don't punish the emperor. After all, one of these two is the empress, and the other is the imperial concubine."
"I promise you, just tell me."
Bai Shaoting bowed and saluted, "After the accident, I took a closer look around the stone table where the Empress and Concubine Yi had tea. Dust is generally inconspicuous, but Weichen has also studied poisons, and these few powders are Xizishuang."
Bai Shaoting said as he took out a piece of white soft paper, there were indeed a few pink dust particles on it.
Huo Jingyun frowned slightly and asked, "Does this mean that the place where the poison was poisoned was the stone table?"
"Yes. At that time, there were only two empresses sitting on the stone table." Bai Shaoting stopped talking here.
King Rui said with a dark face: "You mean the two empresses poisoned themselves?"
Bai Shaoting said, "I think, no one would have the guts to poison the two empresses. But these few grains of medicine powder were indeed seen by the minister in the cracks of the stone table."
Ling Chen sat slumped on the chair, his handsome face was expressionless, his fists clenched involuntarily, his eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Go on!"
Bai Shaoting was silent, and said: "According to the account of the girl in Wangyou Palace, the Empress only ate the food made in her own palace during her pregnancy, and only drank the water after testing. The Empress and Concubine Yi had some old grievances. For several times in Wangyou Palace, the Empress never let Concubine Yi in, except for eating a pumpkin cake, the Empress never ate anything from Concubine Yi,"
"And then?" King Rui asked.
"And that day, the tea was from Wangyou Palace. Before brewing the tea, the girls tested it, and it was not poisonous. This is also consistent with the deduction of the poison that Wei Chen saw at the scene. Xizishuang was put into the tea after brewing the tea. In the tea. And the teapot has been placed on the stone table, only the empress and concubine Yi can touch it."
"Just say directly that the empress or concubine Yi was poisoned, but I didn't expect that I was also poisoned?" King Rui was impatient, he still didn't believe it.
"Who would not want their own child?" Huo Jingyun also had doubts.
Bai Shaoting bowed his head: "This is also what I can't figure out."
Ling Chen's fist was tightly clenched, his joints creaked, only a loud "boom" was heard, and his fist landed hard on the desk.
Everyone trembled and looked up at him.
Bai Shaoting said: "Your Majesty, this minister is also inferring, and there is no evidence." The queen has not yet woken up, and Concubine Yi is weak, but not many people know how to use the poison Xizishuang. These two empresses are proficient in medicine. "
Ling Chen's face was gloomy, with a strong evil spirit all over his body, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile was cold, without the slightest warmth, desolate and lonely. The face is especially sad.
King Rui has followed him for many years, and knows that there is murderous intent in his expression.
"Brother Emperor?" He called Ling Chen, the emperor's expression made him feel uneasy.
"Old Five, I know you are a person who values affection, but some people are better remembered." Ling Chen looked tired.
"Brother Huang, what do you mean?"
At this moment, Yang Shu ran in with Xiao Guizi, "Your Majesty, the empress is awake!"
Ling Chen was overjoyed, got up and rushed out.
Seeing the emperor's expression, King Rui was horrified, does the emperor doubt Wen Heng
How could it be, Wen Heng's child was more than six months old, how could she kill her own child
