Zhao Yan held her forehead, "What else?"

Li Dequan: "...... Nope. ”

Zhao Yan's eyes were round: "That's all it takes to confess?!"

Li Dequan shrank his neck and said cautiously: "After the torture was asked, the eunuch of the Shen Criminal Division was happy for a while, and he didn't pay attention, so that Sang Zi took the opportunity to bite his tongue and commit suicide. ”

Kangxi frowned: "These dog minions who don't have long eyes!" After reprimanding, Kangxi didn't continue to be angry, he waved his hand and said, "That's it." Spread my word, immediately search the Yanshuang Palace! Give me a careful search! Inside and out, you can't let go of a place!"

"Huh!" Li Dequan kowtowed, and quickly retreated.

Zhao Yan cupped her cheeks and muttered to herself: "Sang Zi actually confessed to Concubine Hui? and committed suicide after confessing?"

Zhao Yan frowned, "Xuan Ye, this is a bit wrong, isn't it? If Sang Zi is really loyal, he should keep his mouth shut, if he can't stand the punishment, just take the words to the grave." ”

Dare to bite his tongue and commit suicide, it can be seen that Sang Zi is not afraid of death, since he is not afraid of death, why didn't he bite his tongue and commit suicide earlier?

Kangxi's face was frosty, and he said: "It's not easy to commit suicide in the Shen Criminal Division!"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yan understood what Kangxi meant. What he said was not unreasonable, before he tortured something useful, the eunuchs of the Punishment Division would inevitably keep an eye on him, and he would have no chance to commit suicide. On the contrary, after the confession, the Prudent Criminal Division was relaxed, and Sang Zi had the opportunity to commit suicide.

Logically, it makes sense.

Concubine Hui's Yanshuang Palace, located on the south bank of East Lake, is a cool and quiet place by the mountains and rivers, but tonight is in full swing, and there is no peace.

Li Dequan broke into the Yanshuang Hall with the imperial guards, and searched overnight, causing people to turn over on their backs, chickens and dogs jumping.

Concubine Hui was in a panic all day, she sat upright in the main hall, maintaining her apparent composure, and watched a group of people rummage through boxes and cabinets in her palace.

Concubine Hui was already extremely remorseful in her heart, and Xia Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the small kitchen, coveted Sangzi, she knew this, but Xia Zhong was clever, and if this kind of thing was punctured, it would be embarrassing, so she turned a blind eye. Unexpectedly, Xia Zhong, a stupid dog minion, ran out to expose it in anger! She didn't expect that Sang Zi was really secretly unclean!

Concubine Hui was in turmoil, she was grounded in the Yanshuang Palace, and she was not allowed to contact the outside world, at this moment Concubine Hui didn't know that Sang Zi had bitten her tongue and committed suicide, but Concubine Hui looked at the situation in front of her, and knew that Sang Zi was under torture, and she must have bitten her back!

Looking at the dark night outside the hall, Concubine Hui became more and more frightened.

However, what made Concubine Hui even more confused was still behind, and the guards found a secret compartment under the bed in Concubine Hui's bedroom, and found a small bottle of medicinal powder in it.

"What's that?!" Concubine Hui's eyes widened.

Li Dequan took a closer look at the bottle of medicinal powder, sneered, didn't bother to explain to Concubine Hui at all, he shook off the dust, "Come on, I'm bothering Concubine Hui, please rest well!"

"Let's go, go back and return to the Lord Long Live!" Li Dequan walked away with a group of people, and in an instant, the Yanshuang Hall was empty and silent.

Concubine Hui's hands trembled, and she couldn't help but shout: "Someone framed this palace!!"

However, no one responded to Concubine Hui.

The deserted Yanshuang Hall only hears the sound of the night wind.

This night is destined to make many people sleepless, and Zhao Yan can't sleep either. She lay on the soft cloud bed, looking up at the intricate and gorgeous patterns embroidered on the top of the tent, and many emotions in her eyes were mixed, depressed and silent.

Kangxi couldn't sleep either, he sat at the head of the bed and muttered: "Baoqing that child, although he is not smart enough, he has always been very filial, I ......"

Zhao Yan knew Kangxi's dilemma, if everything was really calculated by Concubine Hui, even if Kangxi did not execute Concubine Hui, he would have to go to the cold palace and die. But in this way, the eldest brother who is thriving in his career will also be ruined, and he can only be a rich and idle person.

They didn't say a word to each other.

After three watches in the night, Li Dequan finally came back to recover his life.

"Your Majesty, the servants searched for this thing in the Yanshuang Palace. Li Dequan respectfully presented the small bottle of medicinal powder, and poured out some light green medicinal powder on the plate.

Kangxi's face turned gloomy, "What is this?!"

Li Dequan bowed his body and said in a low voice: "Back to the emperor, the imperial doctor has already experienced, if this animal is taken by mistake, it will become congested and go crazy, and it will burst out and hurt people!"

Looking at the light green powder, Zhao Yan's pupils shrank, that is, the one that was applied to the bamboo that day and let the bamboo bear eat it, is this thing?!

Kangxi was furious: "Slut! it was really her!!" Kangxi slapped the case on the table, he was so angry that he paced back and forth in front of the table, gritted his teeth several times, and hesitated several times.

After pacing back and forth a few times, Kangxi's face suddenly condensed, and his phoenix eyes were cold, "Cilu Bar, claiming to be a violent death." ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but be stunned, Kangxi wanted to give Concubine Hui to death?! Yes, Concubine Hui was old and decrepit, and she couldn't do a lot of things that angered Kangxi earlier. But in Kangxi's heart, he has no affection for Concubine Hui anymore.

The death of Concubine Hui was to give her an explanation, and she announced that she had died violently, in order to cover up the matter and save the face of the eldest brother.

Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "Xuan Ye, let's check this matter again." ”

Kangxi was a little puzzled: "Hasn't the matter been clarified?" Kangxi glanced at the small bottle of medicinal powder, "This thing is ironclad evidence!"

"But......" Zhao Yan frowned, "I still think it's a little strange, all this was investigated too quickly, and all the physical evidence was put in front of me in an instant, and it was as smooth as a bamboo." The more smoothly the investigation went, the more Zhao Yan felt that something was not quite right.

"Anyway, Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the eldest brother, so she naturally has to be cautious. Zhao Yan raised her head and stared at Kangxi.

Kangxi didn't want to give Concubine Hui to death in his heart, not because of his old love, but once Concubine Hui was killed, the father-son relationship between him and Baoqing was bound to ...... Thinking of this reckless but filial son, Kangxi sighed.

Zhao Yan sighed faintly, "To this day, I still have some disbelief. ”

"Isn't it unbelievable?!" Kangxi's eyes swelled with anger, "I thought that Concubine Hui had corrected her mistakes and had settled down!"

Zhao Yan reached out to hold Kangxi's bruised hand, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, Concubine Hui has to be given a chance to plead." ”

Kangxi looked disgusted: "I don't want to see her!"

Zhao Yan sighed, "Then I'll go." I'll also ask Concubine Hui first, obviously I treat him well......"

Kangxi snorted coldly: "Grace will take revenge! It's not a pity to die!"

Zhao Yan smiled, in fact, she didn't have any kindness to Concubine Hui, the eldest brother was crowned king, it was Kangxi's meaning, she just took the opportunity to take the past, in order to collect Concubine Hui's arrogance.
