"Regardless of whether the little master has lost confidence in this palace, since he has stepped into this palace, he is already different from the women outside the palace!" Forsythia sighed secretly. "Whether the little lord likes it or not, but if you want to live in this palace, the emperor's favor is indispensable."

"Yes, the emperor's favor!" Huo Lingxi's eyes rolled with a thick hatred, and the whole family was slaughtered by that man on a trumped-up charge of rebellion, just because of his so-called love, even the child died so tragically! At that scene, the man's cold face and Huo Chengyu's smug smile were clear even now!

"Huo Chengyu is already crazy, and you are next!" Huo Lingxi opened his eyes again, and the wisp of tiredness under his eyes had disappeared, replaced by coldness and indifference.

"How is Concubine Lin doing over there?" Huo Lingxi asked Forsythia.

"There's no movement yet, but the people have passed." As soon as Forsythia finished speaking, a little eunuch walked in at the door. "The net is closed!"

"Let's go and see the excitement, don't leak the news first!" Huo Lingxi got up, and Forsythia picked up a dark cloak and put it on Huo Lingxi. "Someone is destined to be unable to sleep tonight!"

When the master and servant arrived in Concubine Lin's palace, the people in Concubine Lin's palace had already gathered in the inner hall, and Concubine Lin, who was as quiet as everyone in the past, was sitting with a cold face at this time, and the chief eunuch in the palace and a few little eunuchs knelt in front of Concubine Lin with a little palace maid, her hair was messy, and her hands were twisted and a little red and swollen.

Seeing Forsythia walking in with Huo Lingxi, Concubine Lin restrained the anger in her heart, walked over and took Huo Lingxi's hand and said, "It's this little who eats inside and out, and she is really entangled with the people in the queen's palace!" ”

"Niangniang, Ling Cui didn't!" The two little eunuchs twisted their hands stiffly, and the little palace maid kneeling on the ground raised her head and denied it when she heard Concubine Lin's words.

"Dare you say no! The little eunuch who connected with you has already been caught, and he still has the face to quibble here! Concubine Lin walked over and raised her hand to slap her, because she was in a hurry, and the strength in her hand was also used. The little palace maid who was smoking at that time had a crooked face, and a trace of blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth.

"Caught another one?" When Huo Lingxi heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Not bad! A small eunuch was also caught. Concubine Lin pointed to the side hall in her palace. It's already been tied up and locked up by the palace people! Speaking of which, it takes a bit of effort, but if it weren't for the attendant sent by my sister, I might not be able to catch it! ”

Huo Lingxi nodded, walked over and lifted Ling Cui's chin. Qingyu said: "Who told you to do it?" ”

"Yes...... Aunt Yuzhu ......" After saying that, Ling Cui immediately continued: "But the slave maid really didn't do anything!" Ling Cui looked at Huo Lingxi's eyes pitifully.

"Good! That Hongu asks you! What did Hantake say to you in the porch? Huo Lingxi said it word by word, Ling Cui's whole body trembled when she heard it, she looked at Huo Lingxi in disbelief, and involuntarily glanced at Concubine Lin behind her.

However, after seeing Concubine Lin's angry and disappointed gaze, she took her eyes back when she left.

"Is it strange how Hongu knows?" Huo Lingxi let go of Ling Cui's chin. "There's so much more you can't think of! For example, the seventy-two criminal laws of the Criminal Justice Division! For example, the underground ice dungeon of Cold Spring Palace! …….”

"Speak quickly!" Concubine Lin's eunuch in charge almost slapped Ling Cui over, usually a kind eunuch, but Huo Lingxi was slightly stunned.

"Aunt Yuzhu asked me to smear the powder she gave me on Concubine Lin's embroidery screen!" The eunuch in charge slapped Ling Cui's last bit of luck away, and both sides of his face were red and swollen, and even his speech was a little blurred.

"Embroidered screen?" Concubine Lin glanced at a half-finished embroidered screen in her inner hall. On an embroidery frame more than one person high in Concubine Lin's inner room, a sea of blood-like flowers on a delicate embroidery screen, and inky blue phosphorus butterflies flew up and down, but unfortunately only half of it was completed.

"This is a butterfly love flower, thinking about giving it to my sister as a gift after a while!" Concubine Lin accompanied Huo Lingxi over.

"It smells so good!" Huo Lingxi approached and sniffed.

"These silk threads are all soaked in mulberry water!" Concubine Lin smiled lightly and stroked her embroidery screen, and the anger brought by Ling Cui also subsided a little.

"My sister has a heart!" Huo Lingxi turned around and asked, "Have you ever found poison on Ling Cui?" ”

"Yes!" Concubine Lin took a pack of brown paper-wrapped medicine foam from the hand of her personal maidservant, Huo Lingxi went to put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, and then actually dipped some powder with her fingertips to put it in her mouth, and Concubine Lin hurriedly reached out to stop it. 、

"It's okay!" Huo Lingxi closed his eyes and tasted the powder sent into the tip of his tongue, and said: "This is the powder ground by Bai Lianxin, which is non-toxic, and even has the effect of removing congestion and invigorating blood!"

"Bai Lian?" Concubine Lin shook her head and said she hadn't heard of it.

"If the powder of Bai Lianxin is mixed with the juice of the lotus contaminated with silk threads for a long time, it will become a chronic poison! This was originally used by the hunters in the border to set traps and poison the beasts, but I didn't expect it to become a life-threatening thing in this harem! Huo Lingxi handed the powder in his hand to Forsythia's hand.

"It's not surprising that my sister doesn't know these out-of-the-way things, and my sister also unintentionally turned over them in a pharmacopoeia!" Huo Lingxi turned around and glanced at Ling Cui, who was still kneeling on the ground. opened his mouth and said: "It's rare to find the one in the middle palace!" Even such a cold poisoning method has been figured out! ”

"She first used Ling Cui to poison my embroidery screen, the embroidery screen was completed, and the toxicity on it also accumulated, and when my sister was poisoned, I must not be able to get out of the relationship, and then used my palace people and eunuchs to prove that I was not strict in discipline, killing two birds with one stone! It's really a vicious woman! What a deep scheme! Concubine Lin figured out the joints, couldn't help gritting her teeth, and couldn't help but feel a little scared on her face.

"Niangniang, that little eunuch...... Suicide! A little eunuch in the side hall hurriedly ran out, sweating profusely.

"What's going on! Didn't you keep over him? Concubine Lin, who had just sat down, frowned and stood up suddenly.

"Sister, don't panic, what's going on!" Huo Lingxi said.

"Hui Niangniang, he bit the poison sac in his mouth and committed suicide!" The little eunuch took a breath, glanced at Huo Lingxi worriedly, and then fell on Concubine Lin.

"What a simple means! Even the means of hiding drugs have been used! I'm afraid the queen is already on her way here! Before Huo Lingxi's words fell, the high-pitched voice of the little eunuch came from outside Concubine Lin's shop, and the sharp voice cut through the silence of the deep palace.
