In the verandah of Jingping Palace.
The palace people did not follow, only Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuancheng walked side by side.
Lu Tao was standing in the courtyard. He had just finished explaining some things and turned to look at his lady.
After a while, a palace maid came over with refreshments.
"Sister Lutao, this is for Mr. Fu, do you think it's suitable?"
Lu Tao turned around and looked over and found that it was Fu Lie's favorite snack.
Reaching out to open the tea cup, a fragrance came out, which was Fu Lie's favorite Dahongpao.
"Who ordered this?" Lu Tao frowned. Not many people probably knew about Fu Lie's preferences.
"It was Princess Dejia's order. We were originally going to prepare Biluochun, but the best Biluochun were sent to Qianyuan Palace and Chengming Palace. I made my own decision and replaced them with Dahongpao."
The palace maid who replied was very worried: "Is it inappropriate?"
"No." Lu Tao looked up at the lady again.
They had stopped. King Chu's face seemed not to be good, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he stretched out his hand to stop Wen Qingzhu.
"Wait!" Lu Tao probably knew what the lady was thinking and called the maid back.
"You can prepare some refreshments later and deliver them to the lady."
The palace maid was originally very nervous, but she relaxed after hearing Lu Tao's words.
Someone came looking for Lu Tao again, and she had no choice but to leave here temporarily.
As soon as she left, Jiang Yuancheng's eyes fell on her back.
"The people you bring out are always so great."
Wen Qingzhupi smiled but said: "How can you be as powerful as His Highness the King of Chu?"
After a few words, the atmosphere became tense again.
After a while, Wen Qingzhu said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, I have something else to do and I will leave first."
"Stop for me!" Jiang Yuancheng stopped in the middle of the corridor and blocked her way.
But who is Wen Qingzhu? He turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuancheng was unwilling to give in. He grabbed Wen Qingzhu's wrist with one hand and pulled her back forcefully.
At this moment, Fu Lie and Jiang Dejia just walked out of the door.
Seeing this scene, Fu Lie's figure flashed and he was between Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuancheng in a few seconds.
Jiang Yuancheng only felt a figure flash in front of him, followed by a strong wind.
He had to let go of his hand immediately and took two steps back uncontrollably.
After he stood firm, his face turned livid, he stared at Fu Lie solemnly, and said in a bad tone: "Master Fu! Are you going to assassinate me?"
Fu Lie lightly cupped his hand and replied as calmly as ever: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is overly worried. I just saw Qingqing and didn't want to be caught, so I couldn't help but move my hands. Please forgive me, Your Highness the King of Chu."
"Ha." Jiang Yuancheng sneered. He felt murderous intent just now.
Just now, Fu Lie really had murderous intentions.
But Fu Lie ignored Jiang Yuancheng's sarcasm and turned his back to Wen Qingzhu: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Wen Qingzhu's mood became even heavier.
It's not that she can't handle what Jiang Yue wants to do.
But in this case, someone is bound to be injured and innocent people will be implicated.
Of course there is another option, to let Jiang Yue die before his decree is announced.
Fu Lie's eyes were too innocent, and Wen Qingzhu subconsciously avoided them.
When I turned around, I happened to see a palace maid bringing tea.
Seeing the palace maid approaching, Wen Qingzhu glanced at the refreshments on the tray: "Who asked you to bring them?"
"It's Sister Lutao." The little palace maid nodded and answered softly, a little nervously.
When she came here, she saw everything that happened here.
Fu Lie glanced at the snacks on the tray and said, "I haven't eaten these snacks for a long time. Let's go to the pavilion over there and sit down to eat."
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu looked into his eyes, maybe she should tell him.
Jiang Yuancheng watched them slowly walk away and clenched his hands instantly.
After arriving at the pavilion and sitting down, the maid put her down and almost retreated.
Looking sideways at the veranda, Jiang Yuancheng has already left.
But this picture fell into Fu Lie's eyes, making his heart skip a beat.
What on earth did they say just now
"Qingqing, why don't you try the Jade Belt Cake?" Fu Lie's expression remained unchanged as he took a piece of pastry and brought it to Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu took it and saw that Fu Lie also took a piece for himself.
She thought for a while and decided to eat first before talking.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the tip of her tongue touched the jade belt cake, the hair on her whole body stood up.
"can not eat!"
She immediately stretched out her other hand and grabbed Fu Lie's wrist.
However, Fu Lie had already bitten down, and a layer of cyan suddenly appeared on his lips.
Wen Qingzhu immediately threw away the pastry in his hand, took out the silver needle from his sleeve, and applied the needle to Fu Lie.
At the same time, he ordered: "The internal force is poisonous!"
Fu Lie immediately wanted to raise his inner strength, but unexpectedly spit out a mouthful of blood.
At the end of the corridor, Lu Tao was walking in with Eunuch Fang.
The two of them looked this way together. Fu Lie's vision went dark, his body tilted, and he fainted in Wen Qingzhu's arms.
Lu Tao and Eunuch Fang were surprised and quickly led people over.
"What's going on?" Eunuch Fang was startled, "Your Majesty just wants to see you."
Wen Qingzhu's heart sank, what a coincidence.
The poison Fu Lie was poisoned was not uncommon, and it wasn't very harmful, but he still couldn't wake up for a while.
After making arrangements for Fu Lie, Wen Qingzhu followed Eunuch Fang to Qianyuan Palace.
"Miss Wen, can't General Fu wake up immediately?" Eunuch Fang was worried. His Majesty rarely summoned Concubine Wan and Concubine Li today.
After going through this incident, they can still maintain harmony, so they must have something to do.
"No, the poison is not very toxic, but it is still a bit difficult to wake up immediately."
Eunuch Fang sighed: "You have to be careful about your words and deeds when the time comes. This time it is very likely that you are investigating the poisoning of Concubine Wan and the matter of Princess Yijia."
When they arrived at Qianyuan Palace, Wen Qingzhu was surprised that Jiang Yue was able to get out of bed.
"My lord, please see your Majesty."
Jiang Yue raised his hand: "Excuse me, where is Fu Lie? Isn't he with you?"
"He... was poisoned." Wen Qingzhu thought about it and decided to tell Jiang Yue the whole story.
At the end, he added: "My lord will definitely investigate this matter clearly."
Jiang Yue didn't speak, but said a few words to Luo Fei beside him.
Then Luo Fei asked the maid beside her to leave.
Not long after, Grandma Zhang came over, and so did Jiang Yuancheng.
Jiang Yue said calmly: "You have managed the harem very well these days, but you are not a member of the harem after all. This Feng Yin..."
He glanced sideways as Nanny Zhang delivered a brocade box to him.
Gently opening the lid of the brocade box, it was empty.
Grandma Zhang was startled and immediately knelt down: "You deserve to die! I will send someone to look for you immediately!"
But Jiang Yue said: "No, you are just responsible for bringing the Phoenix Seal. Isn't this Phoenix Seal always given to Qingzhu for safekeeping?"
"Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter thoroughly." Wen Qingzhu lowered his head. Even if the emperor wanted to take back the Phoenix Seal, there would be no need to go to such trouble.
But what he said next made Wen Qingzhu's heart skip a beat.
"No need, the affairs of the harem will be left to Concubine Li to manage from now on. Also, can you explain to me the matter of Concubine Wan's poisoning?"
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and recounted what happened that day.
Jiang Yue didn't say anything, but Luo Fei beside him said: "Miss Wen, we all know the ins and outs of Concubine Wan's poisoning, but why were you and that cup of tea okay at that time?"
Wen Qingzhu explained: "I passed away later."
"Then how do you explain the fact that Mr. Fu was poisoned in Jingping Palace today?" Luo Fei asked again.
Wen Qingzhu was brewing in his heart, and Jiang Yue said directly: "From today on, Wen Qingzhu will be detained in Qianyuan Palace. Hei Jiren will let Duke Jiang investigate this matter thoroughly."
The emperor made the final decision, and Wen Qingzhu was detained unexpectedly.
Early the next morning, Fu Lie hurried to Qianyuan Palace and wanted to meet the emperor, but Jiang Yue stopped him on the grounds of physical discomfort.
In a small courtyard to the north of Qianyuan Palace.
Wen Qingzhu sat on his knees on a futon by the window, holding a pen in his right hand and copying the Ksitigarbha Sutra stroke by stroke.
Jiang Yuanhan's scolding came from outside the house.
"What's wrong with me just taking a look at my sister?! Can't you all be there to watch?"
"Your Highness! It really can't be done! Your Majesty said that no one can see Miss Wen before Shui Luo does it."
"Am I anyone? I can enter and leave the Qianyuan Palace freely. Recently, I have been helping my father to check the memorials! I don't care! I want to see my sister!"
"Really not possible! Your Highness!"
"Step aside!"
…
The continuous dispute finally affected Wen Qingzhu.
Her wrist flicked, and when she should lift the pen, she didn't lift it completely, and the ink smeared out.
"Hey." Wen Qingzhu sighed, put down his pen, and glanced at the Ksitigarbha Scripture on the table.
This is the third to last word. This book was destroyed at the last moment.
Outside, Jiang Yuanhan was still exchanging glances with the guards guarding the door.
He didn't dare to push in, and his voice was always loud, just loud enough for Wen Qingzhu to hear clearly.
After putting down his pen, Wen Qingzhu picked up a jade flute from the desk.
The melodious sound of the flute came from inside the house, making the two hoarse voices finally stop.
Jiang Yuanhan's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked towards the window not far away.
The window over there is open, where is my sister!
"Xiao Fangzi! Stop them both! I'll be right back!"
Jiang Yuanhan immediately ran to the window. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
Father said no one was allowed to enter the house, so he would just watch his sister by the window.
When he stopped in front of the window, Jiang Yuanhan saw Wen Qingzhu in plain clothes.
She put down her jade flute and raised her eyes to look at him: "Your Highness, why are you doing this? Everything will eventually come to light."
"But I don't understand. My sister worked hard to help my father manage the harem. Empress Wanbi was poisoned by Concubine Li. Mr. Fu was careless. Why should I blame you?"
Jiang Yuanhan looked at Wen Qingzhu distressedly and burst into tears instantly.
Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand, and Jiang Yuanhan put his face directly up to it.
"Your Highness." Wen Qingzhu originally just pointed in the direction of the main hall, but he never expected that Jiang Yuanhan would take the initiative to move his face towards her.
In desperation, Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to touch his face, and then said: "Your Highness, don't worry about me, this is Qianyuan Palace, no one dares to do anything to me."
"Sister." Jiang Yuanhan glanced at the door not far away. Xiao Fangzi was delivering money to the guards and did not look here.
He simply took the opportunity to climb through the window and came in. He was so anxious that he almost rolled off the desk.
Wen Qingzhu quickly reached out to protect him, stretched out his arms and hugged him into his arms.
"You kid." Wen Qingzhu helped him sit down on the futon next to him.
Jiang Yuanhan obediently lowered his head and blushed to the roots of his ears.
