Luo Qinghan and Zhao Xian glanced at Yan Cairen.
Yan Cairen suddenly came back to his senses, and was shocked that he had leaked his words just now.
She quickly calmed herself down and defended with red eyes.
"My concubine was so shocked that I accidentally lost my temper. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Luo Qinghan didn't know whether he believed it or not, and did not express his attitude towards her words.
He looked at Zhao Xian again and motioned for Zhao Xian to continue.
Zhao Xian: "The imperial doctor said that Miss Baofu was poisoned because she took a lot of arsenic, and she almost died because of it. At the end, she will be asked why she was poisoned? Although Miss Baofu is temporarily unable to speak, she is sober. She pointed to a bracelet on her wrist."
Having said that, he took out a colored tourmaline bracelet from his sleeve and put it up with both hands.
"The last commander has already asked others. This bracelet was given to Miss Baofu by Yan Cairen. Miss Baofu likes it very much, and she always wears it on her hand."
When Yan Cairen saw the bracelet, he only felt that his legs were weak, he could no longer stand up, and fell to the ground swaying.
Luo Qinghan looked at her: "What happened to you?"
Yan Cairen shivered and said: "My concubine suddenly felt unwell, and I was a little unsteady. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Eunuch Chang stepped forward to help her up.
Luo Qinghan took the tourmaline bracelet from Zhao Xian and turned to look at Yan Cairen.
"How do you explain it?"
Yan Cairen shook his head with tears in his eyes: "My concubine doesn't know anything. Please believe in my concubine. My concubine will never harm anyone!"
Luo Qinghan: "Since you said that, I will believe what you said for the time being."
Yan Cairen's heart was relieved, a great fluke came to his heart, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Before she was happy for long, she heard the emperor continue to say.
"Anyway, Baofu has already woken up. After the imperial doctor has cured her throat, I will personally interrogate her. If I find out that her poisoning has something to do with you, I will definitely punish her severely."
Yan Cairen's smile froze on his face.
Luo Qinghan: "At that time, I will not only let you die, but I will also punish you for the crime of deceiving the king and destroy your strict family."
Yan Cairen paled in shock, his knees softened, and he knelt down so straight.
Knees hit the ground hard.
Just hearing the sound, you can tell how painful it is.
But Yan Cairen didn't care about the pain, so he cried and begged: "Your Majesty, please raise your hand and let go of the concubine's family!"
Luo Qing looked at her coldly.
"I will give you one last chance. Did you poison Baofu?"
Yan Cairen instinctively wanted to deny it.
But when she touched the cold eyes of the emperor, the words stuck in her throat, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Eunuch Chang reminded in a low voice: "Talent, there is only one chance, you have to think about it before answering."
Yan Cairen's lips trembled slightly.
Her fingers involuntarily grasped the hem of the skirt, and the fine fabric was creased by her.
The expression on her face kept changing, the blood on her lips faded little by little, and finally she became extremely pale.
Luo Qinghan became impatient: "Since you insist that you are innocent, then forget it."
He instructed Zhao Xian.
"Take Baofu away and protect it strictly.
The people around Yan Cairen all evacuated, and the Yanyu Palace will be closed from today.
Before the truth is found out, no one is allowed to step into the Misty Rain Palace! "
Yan Cairen originally planned to take advantage of this time to find a way to get rid of Baofu. If he couldn't solve Baofu, then let someone send a letter to the Yan family to let them leave Shengjing as soon as possible and find a place no one knows about. hide.
However, the emperor's words completely shattered Yan Cairen's last hope.
All her escape routes were blocked by the emperor.
Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Yan Cairen seemed to see the pictures of his parents and brothers and sisters being dragged out and beheaded one by one.
She couldn't hold it any longer, she crawled over with her hands and feet, and kowtowed to the emperor for mercy.
"I beg Your Majesty to be gracious! It's the concubine who poisoned Baofu with a ghost, and it's all the concubine's fault. These things have nothing to do with others. Please, Your Majesty, don't implicate the Yan family!"
Luo Qinghan stopped and looked down at her with a cold tone.
"Why do you want to poison Baofu?"
Yan Cairen knelt down on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
She choked and said: "Because the concubine instigated her to contact Ronggui, and through her instructed Ronggui to help the assassin take the imperial concubine out of the palace, now that the incident happened, the concubine was afraid that Baofu would confess the concubine, so... just... "
She couldn't say anything more, she was so out of breath crying, she couldn't stop crying.
Luo Qinghan: "So you did it."
Yan Cairen knew that he was doomed, so he could only keep begging.
"These things are planned by the concubine alone, and have nothing to do with the family of the concubine. They don't know about it. I ask your majesty to raise your hand and not to anger them."
Luo Qinghan asked a very crucial question.
"Why do you know that there are assassins in the palace?"
Yan Cairen stopped crying, and his tone was a little hesitant: "Yes, someone told the concubine the news."
Luo Qinghan: "Who is it?"
Yan Cairen didn't want to talk about it, but the matter had come to this point, if she mentioned what the man had concealed, it would only make her crime more serious.
Now all she can do is try to protect herself.
As for what would happen to others, it was beyond her ability.
Yan Cairen asked stutteringly.
"If the concubine tells the truth, can your majesty spare the concubine's life?"
Luo Qinghan: "Are you making a condition to me?"
Obviously his tone didn't fluctuate, but Yan Cairen felt an unspeakable fear for no reason.
She hurriedly shook her head in denial.
"No! Concubine dare not! Concubine just wants to ask Your Majesty to spare concubine's life for the sake of concubine's confession."
Luo Qinghan said lightly: "As long as you are telling the truth, I can consider keeping you alive."
Yan Cairen was overjoyed and said without hesitation.
"It was Princess Hua'an who sent someone to pass the news to the concubine, and she also hinted that the concubine could take this opportunity to get rid of the imperial concubine!"
At the beginning, she vaguely noticed that there was something different in Yunxiu Palace, but before she could find out what happened in Yunxiu Palace, she was noticed by the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine assigned her the task of making cotton jackets and quilts, which made her tired every day. I have to die, and I don't have the heart to think about anything else.
Until Princess Hua'an quietly sent someone to send a message, telling her that there was an assassin hidden in the palace, and the target of the assassin was the imperial concubine.
Yan Cairen connected the events before and after, and thought it was the imperial concubine who was assassinated, so Yunxiu Palace sent more people to enforce martial law.
Later, Princess Hua An sent someone to contact her again, telling her that the assassin would take the imperial concubine away from the palace and that someone needed a favor.
Yan Cairen felt that this was a great opportunity to get rid of the imperial concubine, and agreed without hesitation.
