That afternoon, Jiang Yuanhan came to Luoying Pavilion.
Wen Qingzhu was sitting in a small pavilion, pruning flower branches with scissors. Lu Tao reminded her that she saw Jiang Yuanhan standing next to her.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Wen Qingzhu stood up quickly and saluted, polite but distant.
Jiang Yuanhan looked at his sister who was bowing her head and kneeling in front of her, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.
After a long while, he said: "No courtesy."
It had been a long time since Wen Qingzhu had maintained a saluting posture for a long time. As soon as he stood up straight, his legs became weak. Xi'er quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.
Seeing his master standing firm, Lu Tao retracted his outstretched hand.
I don't want to see the emperor's hand frozen in mid-air, neither advancing nor retreating.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Xi'er also saw Jiang Yuanhan's frozen hand and felt that she was trying to move too quickly.
Wen Qingzhu looked at his hand and didn't care. Instead, he asked, "What's the matter with the emperor coming here?"
"Sister, sister, I just came to see you." Jiang Yuanhan suppressed the emotions in his heart and allowed himself to say these words as calmly as possible.
Unexpectedly, a smile appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face: "Don't the emperor know what happened to me?"
Jiang Yuanhan opened his mouth, trying to explain something, but he couldn't say a word.
Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence: "I'm sorry."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to apologize. Some things have passed. Just let it pass. You are the king and I am the minister. This is something that cannot be changed." Wen Qingzhu could distance the two people.
Jiang Yuanhan couldn't stand this coldness, so he hurried back to the palace after a few words of advice.
At nightfall, Xiao Fangzi knew that he was in a bad mood, but thinking that the emperor was used to going to Qingning Palace every day, he still asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to Qingning Palace today?"
"No!" Jiang Yuanhan stood in front of the dragon chair with his hands behind his back and refused immediately.
Xiao Fangzi looked at his back and turned to leave.
As soon as he turned around, Jiang Yuanhan's voice came from behind again: "Go!"
When they arrived at Qingning Palace, Wei Qinglin prepared dinner as usual.
She asked Aunt Zhang and learned that the emperor had gone to Sister Qingzhu's place today, and she knew what was going on.
As soon as the emperor arrived, Wei Qinglin sat down in front of him and asked everyone in the palace to retreat.
"Your Majesty, these are some dishes made by my concubine. Do you want to try them?" Wei Qinglin personally brought him some dishes.
Jiang Yuanhan looked down and was not about to move his chopsticks.
Wei Qinglin also put down his chopsticks: "But the regent has made your majesty angry?"
"Prince Regent?" Jiang Yuanhan sneered and looked sideways, but saw Wei Qinglin's cautious look, which made him feel stagnant.
The Wei Qinglin of the past was not what he is now.
It was clearly the same face, but the soul inside seemed to have changed, making Jiang Yuanhan feel extremely strange.
After looking at the dishes on the table, Jiang Yuanhan picked up the chopsticks.
Just after taking a bite, Jiang Yuanhan felt his tongue numb, and immediately spit out the food in his mouth, turned around and pinched Wei Qinglin's neck: "Did you poison the food?"
Wei Qinglin watched Jiang Yuanhan's face change, as cold as when he was still in Jinzhou.
She grabbed Jiang Yuanhan's hand with a sneer on her lips: "The entire palace is under His Majesty's control. I still have a chance to poison the Emperor?!"
Jiang Yuanhan didn't reply, but the murderous intent in his eyes was unmistakable.
If it weren't for the sake of Brother Mingxuan and his sister, Wei Qinglin would never have had the chance to live to talk to him.
Xiao Fangzi, who was outside the door, finally couldn't help but take a look inside. After seeing this, he quickly came in and knelt down: "Your Majesty, no! How could the Queen poison you!"
He glanced at the dishes on the table. Several dishes contained Sichuan peppercorns. Xiao Fangzi immediately thought of something and said quickly: "Your Majesty! There are Sichuan peppercorns in the dishes!"
Jiang Yuanhan turned his head and glanced at the table, then slowly let go of his hand.
Wei Qinglin, who finally got a breather, looked at him coldly, picked up the chopsticks with his backhand, and said sarcastically: "Since the emperor doubts me! Then I will eat it for the emperor to see!"
After eating a few chopsticks, Wei Qinglin's anger, which he had endured for many days, exploded at this moment.
"Yes! I poisoned it! Now I'll eat it for you to see! Even if it's poisonous, it will kill me!"
After Wei Qinglin finished speaking, he ate many more dishes.
In the end, Xiao Fangzi couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to stop her: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is just worried. Just let someone test the poison next time. Don't hurt your relationship with His Majesty!"
Wei Qinglin threw his chopsticks and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Fang! I have a very good relationship with His Majesty!"
The two looked at each other, and they were obviously being patient with each other, but neither of them wanted to fall out.
When things got to this point, Jiang Yuanhan didn't want to stay any longer and decided not to come in the future.
Unexpectedly, he turned around, and Xiao Fangzi suddenly screamed: "Empress! Empress! What's wrong with you?!"
Jiang Yuanhan immediately turned around and saw Wei Qinglin looking at him with wide eyes, his right hand supporting the table, his left hand holding Xiao Fangzi, and black blood spitting out from the corner of his mouth.
Feeling weak all over, Wei Qinglin finally collapsed on the ground, murmuring sadly: "So it was you who poisoned me..."
Her stomach was churning and black blood kept spitting out. Wei Qinglin felt her consciousness slowly slipping away. She tried her best to look towards the door, wanting to see her brother Mingxuan again.
"Come here! Come here! Call the doctor quickly!" Xiao Fangzi shouted anxiously.
Wei Qinglin wanted to maintain consciousness, tears streaming from her eyes. She really wanted to see Brother Mingxuan again.
People kept running in the house, and in the chaos, a white figure actually appeared at the door.
At this moment, Wei Qinglin closed her eyes...
outside the city.
When the news came, Wen Qingzhu was asking Bai Di something.
"The queen is poisoned and her life hangs by a thread? How is this possible!" Bai Di stood up at that time.
The visitor was sent by Ye Gan. He calmly replied: "Before the meal, the emperor suspected that the queen was poisoned. The queen voluntarily ate many dishes to prove her innocence. As a result, she was poisoned. Before she lost consciousness, she said to the emperor, "It's the emperor." He poisoned her, and Lord Wen arrived not long after, accidentally injuring the emperor."
"Hurt, hurt the emperor?" Bai Di felt that things were going wrong.
She turned to look at Wen Qingzhu and found that she was deep in thought.
After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu rushed to the palace with Bai Di.
When he arrived at the gate of Qingning Palace, Jin Yuanbao was stopped outside.
"Master Jin." Wen Qingzhu stopped.
Jin Yuanbao looked back at Wen Qingzhu: "Why is the princess here?"
"My brother is here, of course I have to come." Wen Qingzhu didn't intend to say more and stood up to leave.
Jin Yuanbao didn't want to call her out: "Does the princess know that Wen Mingxuan injured the emperor with a sword?"
Wen Qingzhu stopped for a moment and did not look back: "Master Jin didn't see it with his own eyes. What if the emperor fell down accidentally?"
"Princess! Do you know what you are talking about? I came earlier than you, and the witnesses and material evidence are complete. Do you still want to cover up the sky with one hand?!" Jin Yuanbao's matter-of-factness was fully reflected at this moment.
Wen Qingzhu ignored him, got up and walked inside.
When they arrived at the door of the dormitory, Su Huo was also there, and Wen Mingxuan had been kidnapped and held aside.
"Princess." Su Huo frowned, with a trace of imperceptible doubt in his eyes.
Wen Qingzhu nodded, walked up to Wen Mingxuan, and ordered the guard who tied up Wen Mingxuan: "Let him go!"
Su Huo was even more confused: "Princess, don't be anxious, Mingxuan's matter..."
"I said let him go!" Wen Qingzhu looked sideways at Su Huo with a very unkind look in his eyes, "Master Su, don't you understand what I say? Or do you think you can take him away from me!"
"Qingqing!" Fu Lie's voice came from the door.
The two of them looked up and saw that Jiang Yuanhan had also come out, along with Angelica.
Su Huo quickly asked: "Mr. Gao, is the queen okay?"
Angelica looked at Wen Qingzhu, cupped her hands and said, "Can you trouble the princess to go in and take a look?"
Wen Qingzhu did not answer immediately, but looked at Jiang Yuanhan: "Let Mingxuan go!"
"Okay." Jiang Yuanhan raised his hand, but the person who didn't want to watch Wen Mingxuan didn't move.
At this moment, his eyes darkened: "What? You don't listen to me anymore?"
"I don't dare!" Su Huo bowed his head, raised his head and said loudly, "Your Majesty! The state has national laws! Every family has its own rules! Wen Mingxuan assassinated Your Majesty, and he deserves to be executed!"
"Presumptuous!" Jiang Yuanhan's tone was cold and he stared at Su Huo displeased.
Jin Yuanbao hurried over later and happened to hear what the emperor and Su Huo said.
When he arrived in front of him, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! I think what Mr. Su said is absolutely true!"
Looking at Wen Mingxuan whose eyes had lost focus, and then at Wen Qingzhu who was guarding him, Jin Yuanbao took a deep breath: "The Princess Regent disregards the law of the country! She insists on taking away the murderer Wen Mingxuan. Please decree that Wen Qingzhu be imprisoned together! Wen Mingxuan Behead him on another day!"
Jiang Yuanhan's gaze was heavy as he swept across everyone present, and finally landed on Fu Lie beside him: "Does the Regent have anything to say?"
Without answering, Fu Lie walked directly to Wen Qingzhu and Wen Mingxuan, drew his sword, looked around for a week, and said to Jiang Yuanhan: "Sorry, no one can touch Qingqing and Mingxuan."
"Wei Zhi..." Wen Qingzhu looked at Fu Lie's profile and was deeply moved.
Although she had vaguely mentioned today's incident before, Fu Lie chose to stand in front of her now. He clearly knew all of her plans and was even willing to cooperate fully.
In this case, Wen Qingzhu raised his head and looked at Jin Yuanbao contemptuously: "I'm so sorry, I'm afraid no one can touch me today!"
"Your Majesty!" Jin Yuanbao asked for orders again, but Jiang Yuanhan's eyes were not on him.
The hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and the emotions in his heart that had been suppressed for a long time poured out at this moment.
Jiang Yuanhan wished it was him standing in front of his sister.
Many parties were in a stalemate. Wen Mingxuan, who had been absentminded, suddenly raised his head and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Sister! Save Linlin! Save her! I beg you! Go and save her! I can do anything you want! As long as You can save Linlin!"
Before Wen Qingzhu could reply, Fu Lie had already started to fight off Wen Mingxuan's guards.
Wen Qingzhu quickly pulled out the dagger, cut the rope, and then was pulled into the house by Wen Mingxuan.
No one stopped them, they just went in.
Su Huo looked around, thoughtful and silent.
Kneeling on the ground, Jin Yuanbao thought of his dead mentor, Lei Xiao who was imprisoned, and many other people involved.
Why can others abide by the rules, but Wen Qingzhu and Wen Mingxuan cannot!
Jin Yuanbao stood up slowly and looked at Jiang Yuanhan with disappointment: "Your Majesty! You are the Emperor of our Qi Kingdom! How many people have lost their lives and everything for your position, but the Emperor! For Wen Qingzhu, you actually let go The person who stabbed you! Aren't you afraid of the rebellion of the people in the world!"
"Master Jin!" Su Huo yelled immediately. It was not safe in the palace. No one knew how many eyes and ears were hidden in it.
