The sound of sticks beating flesh from outside reached the inner sanctum, and everyone looked nervous, and such an atmosphere made it impossible to relax no matter what.

Empress Dowager Guo, who had been taking care of the little prince in the inner hall, also came out, and then sat next to the Empress Dowager Song.

"How are Yi'an and Yiqi?" Empress Dowager Song asked.

"They have already gotten much better after taking the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Yan," Empress Dowager Guo glanced at her and said, "Now they are asleep." ”

Empress Dowager Song nodded, and then she turned her head to look at Qi Yuan: "Isn't it too inappropriate for the emperor to let the two little princes live in Yuyang Palace, and how long has it been since such a thing happened, should the emperor reconsider." ”

Yang Yueshu sneered in her heart when she heard the words of the Empress Dowager Song, it was clear that this matter could not have anything to do with her, but she insisted on putting this dirty hat on her head.

However, there is no need for Yang Yueshu to distinguish anything in this matter, and the Empress Dowager Guo spoke directly: "Sister, what she said is not right, how can she complain about Concubine Yue, it is clear that she is also a victim of it." What's more, Concubine Yue treats Yi'an very attentively, and she is no worse than her own mother. ”

The Empress Dowager Song frowned tightly when she heard Empress Dowager Guo's words, and her expression looked a little displeased.

However, Empress Dowager Guo continued to speak: "There is nothing wrong with Concubine Yue, not to mention that Yi'an's jade has been changed to Concubine Yue's name, how can it be changed again." As for Yiqi, the mourning family only allowed him to stay with his imperial brother for a few more days, and then naturally he would go back to Cihe Palace. ”

"My sister said this because I think my sister is nosy." Empress Dowager Song looked at Empress Dowager Guo coldly.

Empress Dowager Guo was not afraid of her, with a smile on her face, she still looked very indifferent: "My sister misunderstood, my sister just told the truth." Then Empress Dowager Guo didn't wait for Empress Dowager Song to speak, so she fell on Song Yuanxuan on the side, "The queen is the master of the harem, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Song Yuanxuan was slightly stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Empress Dowager Guo to suddenly ask her, she looked up at her aunt, and then said with a smile: "What the queen mother said is reasonable, Concubine Yue is indeed very concerned about Yi'an." ”

When the Empress Dowager Song heard Song Yuanyu's words, her face became even more unsightly.

For a while, the air seemed to condense together, until the guards who had been ordered to finish beating the board escorted Peach, who was so weak that half of her life was gone, into the inner hall.

"How, can you say that?" Qi Yuan looked coldly at the people who were kneeling on the ground below.

Tao'er knelt there, and if she wasn't escorted by people on both sides, she wouldn't have been able to kneel at all.

Changde leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, Tao'er has confessed, it is indeed she who took advantage of the efforts to go to the hot pastry to poison the tangram cake, and found the medicine paper in her sleeve." ”

Everyone saw a ball of paper in Changde's hand.

Yan Fu stepped forward to inspect the thing under Qi Yuan's eyes, and then said, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, the remaining ingredients of this medicinal paper are indeed consistent with the poison in the two princes. ”

Qi Yuan nodded.

Concubine Xian's face changed slightly when she saw the medicine paper, and she glanced at Ziyun beside her, and Ziyun reassured Concubine Xian not to show any abnormality.

"Say, who poisoned you?" Qi Yuan's face looked like a gloomy dark cloud, Tao'er could be so bold to poison the prince, it was impossible to say that there was no one behind him.

Tao'er raised her head and glanced at Qi Yuan, and then her eyes looked to the side at Concubine Xian who was standing behind Concubine Yu, and the other party's eyes were calm.

Tao'er's body trembled slightly, and then she spoke weakly: "No, no one instructed you...... It was the slave who was jealous of Concubine Yue, so she poisoned her...... Mistakenly harmed the prince......"

Qi Yuan looked at Tao'er and sneered, where did such a palace maid come from because she was jealous of Concubine Yue, she actually had the intention of poisoning, not to mention that it is not a wise choice to poison Concubine Yue, if it is really to harm Concubine Yue, it is better to poison Concubine Yue in the tea she drinks.

So this peach must be telling a lie.

"Give this peach to the mourning family," Empress Dowager Song said coldly, "It's not a small mistake to murder the prince, and the mourning family must interrogate it well." ”

Qi Yuan looked at the Empress Dowager Song, and then nodded: "Since the queen mother wants to interrogate herself, then take her to the queen mother's palace." ”

After speaking, Qi Yuan asked people to take Tao'er to Ciren Palace.

Qi Yuan felt that this matter should have nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Song, and the Empress Dowager Song would not do such a thing that would not benefit them in any way, so since the Empress Dowager Song wanted to interrogate, Qi Yuan would not object.

"Okay, now that this is the case, let's go back to everyone else." Empress Dowager Guo said.

After that, Empress Dowager Guo asked Mama Zhou beside her to stay and accompany Mama Zheng to take care of the two princes, and then she left. After that, everyone else also left Yuyang Palace one after another.

Qi Yuan stayed, although Yan Fu said that Qing Shao was fine, but if he couldn't see Qing Shao with his own eyes, his heart would definitely not be settled.

So Qi Yuan went to the side hall.

Xing'er was taking care of Qing Shao in the side hall, and then when she turned around, she saw Qi Yuan, she was so frightened that the copper basin in her hand fell to the ground at once.

The clanging sound very harsh.

Qi Yuan frowned slightly, how could the palace maid of Yuyang Palace be so frizzy.

Qing Shao, who was already about to fall asleep, also opened his eyes when he heard this loud noise, and he was still a little confused for a while.

"Get out of here." Chang De in the back hurriedly asked Xing'er to leave quickly.

Xing'er was so frightened that she quickly came back to her senses, then picked up the basin on the ground and ran out.

Seeing the emperor, she was really scared.

Chang De shook his head helplessly, and then quickly closed the door and left, he still had to tell the palace maid to be tighter and not to talk casually.

When the door was closed, the room was quiet.

"Your Majesty......" Qing Shao's voice was still a little weak, and she tried to sit up.

Qi Yuan hurriedly went to the edge of the bed and sat down, and then held Qing Shao's shoulders and let her lie down: "Don't get up!" ”

Qi Yuan looked at Qing Shao's somewhat pale face and frowned, he didn't protect her well again and let her be poisoned, if it weren't for the effect of Chi Xuelian, I really don't know what the consequences would be. Qi Yuan, who once boasted that he could control the entire harem, now had a sense of frustration.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Qing Shao lay on the bed and looked at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan gently touched her cheek, and then showed a smile: "It's okay." It's better now, is it still uncomfortable? ”

Qing Shao smiled and shook his head: "I'm much better." What happened to the Third and Fourth Princes? ”

Then I saw Qi Yuan looking at her fixedly, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed, what's wrong. (To be continued.) )
