Cui'er said, "The slave and maid chased him to the side of Chuxiu Palace, and the people disappeared, because it was the residence of the virtuous concubine, and the slave and maid could not enter." So ......"

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, there had always been such a doubt in her mind during the day, who would be so bold to assassinate the prince directly in the palace? Thinking about it, the only possible person is Huo Yongdie, and now looking at it, there must be no doubt that she is her.

Her eyes were calm, with a touch of murder in her eyes, "Sure enough, it's her, presumably she must want me to taste the pain of losing my son, no one in this palace will do anything to Rui'er except her." ”

Cui'er also guessed this and asked, "So what should we do?" Even if we suspect her, we must have evidence in our hands! ”

She nodded slightly, they really needed evidence now, and she paced back and forth in the room. Soon after the incident, that person hid in the Chuxiu Palace, and the emperor ordered the Praetorian Guards to seal off the entire palace. In other words, that person has no chance to leave the palace at all, and he must still be in this palace. As long as he is still here, there will be a chance to find him, and as long as you find him, you will know who is behind it.

She stopped and took a deep breath, Xue Tianao almost died in the Chu State, this time it was her own son, and before she could make a move, the other party couldn't bear it. This time, she will definitely not be soft again, if the other party does not die, her son will still be in danger. She wants to uproot all the people who threaten Guo Rui.

Early the next morning, Guo Rui's fever subsided, and Xiao Wanyao also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu'er's injuries are still very serious, but there is no danger to her life, she tells Cui'er to take good care of her by Zhu'er's side, and leave the rest to her. She will definitely find out who is behind it.

Xiao Wanyao found the sword-armed guard in the palace - Mandate of Heaven. At this time, she and Heavenly Destiny could no longer talk as easily as before, because Xiao Wanyao was holding Zhenhao in her hands.

It's just that she is the queen, and the Mandate of Heaven has to follow the order to come here.

After seeing the Mandate of Heaven, Xiao Wanyao said directly, "Let's make a deal, as long as you help me catch the murderer, I will release Zhenhao." ”

Destiny didn't expect her to be so direct, and Xiao Wanyao was so shrewd, how could she let Zhen Hao go so lightly, he hesitated for a moment and said, "The emperor has already ordered us to catch the murderer as much as possible." The subordinates are also working hard, I don't know what else the queen needs her subordinates to do? ”

Xiao Wanyao's face was expressionless, and she couldn't hear any tone, "You should know that the killer is still in the palace now, and from the moment he fled, the palace didn't even leave the guards who had changed shifts." So he must still be here, and he must be thinking about how to leave the palace in every possible way, and what this palace asks you to do is to give him a chance to get out of here. ”

Heavenly Destiny was slightly stunned, looked at her puzzled, and asked, "Why did the queen mother let the murderer leave here?" ”

Her eyes narrowed, looking at the sweetness, with a hint of dark light in her deep eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Only by letting him go can you catch the big fish behind him." ”

Xiao Wanyao told the plan to Destiny, and promised him that as long as Destiny helped her catch the person behind her, she would release Zhenhao. And asked the mandate of heaven to ensure that only she and him knew about this matter, and it was absolutely impossible to sue the third person, including the emperor and the famous monarch.

In order to save Zhenhao, the Mandate of Heaven agreed to do what Xiao Wanyao wanted.

Sure enough, two days later, just as the Praetorian Guards in the palace relaxed their vigilance, the man sneaked out of the palace. However, just as he left the palace and was about to disappear, a man blocked his way, and just as he was about to make a move on him, he was surrounded by people around him.

The corners of Shangguan Yunfan's mouth hooked up a faint smile, walked up to him, ripped off the mask on his face, and said, "This son, his kung fu is good, and he comes and goes freely in the palace. It's a pity that the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, and you provoked the person in the world who shouldn't be messed with. ”

The man frowned, his body already tied up, "Who are you?" Who are you? ”

After he was tied, Shangguan Yunfan waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to leave, leaving only the two of them in place, "How about we make a deal?" ”

The man was stunned and snorted coldly in his heart, "Do you know who I am?" Arrest people here without evidence, and don't regret it when the time comes. ”

Shangguan Yunfan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Ha...... You're very smart, do you think there's no way to bring you to justice without my evidence in my hands? But I'm sorry, Ben Gongzi never uses the law to punish people, Ben Gongzi likes to use lynching, do you think at this time, after I take you away and destroy the body, who will trace it to my head? ”

The man was frightened by Shangguan Yunfan's momentum, and his tone softened, "What do you really want?" ”

"Who sent you to kill the prince? Sue me, and I'll let you go. Shangguan Yunfan stood in front of him and asked directly.

The man's eyes narrowed, "I didn't assassinate the prince, and I didn't do this at all." I'm just going to the palace to do something else, and it has nothing to do with it. ”

"You think I'm going to believe your? Someone, let's look at his leg first, and then talk about it, anyway, if he doesn't say it, it's useless to keep it, we can find out who it is. Shangguan Yunfan played with the wrench in his hand and turned around to stop looking at him.

Two men came from a distance, drawing their knives and about to cut off his legs, but the man screamed in fright, "I said. But you have to promise that if I say it, you will let me go. ”

Shangguan Yunfan turned around and faced him again, with a bright smile on his face, and his tone was very easy-going, "That's right, the one who knows the times is Junjie." Tell me who it is? ”

The man spoke, "It's Concubine Xian, the queen killed her child, and she wants revenge." That's why I was asked to kill Guo Rui. Okay, I said it, you should let me go. ”

Shangguan Yunfan nodded, but still felt that something was not right, and he asked people to loosen his ties for him, "You can go." ”

After the man was freed, he turned around and fled, but when he ran out more than ten meters away, he was caught by a large net in the air, and several people around him captured him again.

"Your words don't count." He rushed to Shangguan Yunfan and roared.

At this moment, he was about to get into the carriage and leave, paused slightly, and looked at the person with an innocent face, "My son's words always count, I said that I would let you go." But I didn't say that I won't arrest you again, and you can only blame yourself for being naïve. With that, he chuckled and got into the carriage and drove away, while his men took the captor back to his lodgings and imprisoned him.

After Xiao Wanyao got the news, she proved her guess. She immediately called Destiny, "You let the wind go, and say that you have captured the assassin and are now imprisoned in the dungeons of the palace." ”

Destiny knew that Xiao Wanyao wanted to use this method to lure out the real mastermind behind it, if the other party knew that the assassin had been caught here, he would definitely be worried that the assassin would tell her about her, and then he would come to kill people. At that time, Xiao Wanyao will appear again and catch that person, and he will definitely get the stolen goods.

This is a good way, Xiao Wanyao is really smart, after the Mandate of Heaven left Xiyun Palace, she followed her instructions and found a subordinate she trusted, and let him pretend to be an assassin and imprisoned him in the dungeon.

Soon the messenger behind the messenger knew the news, and at night, the Mandate of Heaven stayed in the dungeon, and the maid who delivered the food delivered the food to each prisoner. As he was about to leave, the man posing as an assassin suddenly foamed at the mouth and convulsed all over his body, looking poisoned.

Destiny was stunned suddenly, "It's not good, the food is poisonous." Catch the maid. ”

The palace maid who was very open to deliver food to the assassins was arrested, and Guo Ping and Xiao Wanyao also arrived here at the same time.

Destiny stepped forward and said, "The subordinates have caught the palace maid who poisoned her, and the assassin has been poisoned to death, they must have come to kill people." As long as you ask the palace maid, you will definitely know who the main messenger behind it is. ”

Guo Ping nodded with satisfaction, "I want to interrogate me personally." Then he came to the maid. The palace maid looks quite old, and she should be an old palace maid who has been in this palace for many years.

The maids who were sent here to bring food to the prisoners in the cells must have been unpleasant and ugly-looking. As soon as Guo Ping passed, the palace maid kowtowed in front of him again and again, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the slave and maid really don't know what happened, this matter really has nothing to do with the slave and maid." ”

Guo Ping had a calm face, "The food you sent was poisonous, don't you know?" ”

"The slave maid doesn't know that the meals sent by the slave and maid are the same as those sent by other palace maids. The slave is really wronged. The palace maid looked very frightened and kept kowtowing.

Xiao Wanyao, who was sitting next to Guo Ping at this moment, opened her mouth and asked, "You said that the food you sent was the same as everyone else's, so did anyone touch the food in your hand before you came here?" ”

The palace maid paused slightly, thought for a moment and said, "When the slave maid came here, only the adults around her checked the slave maid's food, and no one else touched it. ”

Heavenly Destiny was stunned, feeling a little bad, and said angrily to the palace maid, "What nonsense are you talking about, I'm just doing a routine inspection." ”

Xiao Wanyao looked at the Mandate of Heaven unrelentingly, "Mandate of Heaven, whether it is a routine inspection or not, have you really touched the food she brought?" ”

Destiny thought that Xiao Wanyao was speaking for herself, so she said, "My subordinates have indeed seen it." But it's only for fear that someone will kill someone, so they will check. ”

Xiao Wanyao turned her head, the corners of her eyebrows moved, and with a hint of suspicion, she said, "In this way, the Mandate of Heaven knew early on that someone would come to kill people, and it also knew that it was likely to poison the food." ”

Destiny took a deep breath, these things were all said to him by Xiao Wanyao herself. Let him be careful of the things in the meal, because the security in the dungeon is so tight that ordinary people can't enter it at all, and it is impossible to trespass and kill people in the dungeon, so the only possibility is to poison the food, so he will check the food delivered as Xiao Wanyao said.

Destiny glanced at Guo Ping, locked his eyebrows and said, "This is all the speculation of his subordinates." ”

At this time, he had already come to the dungeon, and Guo Ping ordered him to check the body immediately. Xiao Wanyao sat there quietly waiting for the results.

Not long after, he walked out of the cell, "Back to the emperor, the cause of the prisoner's death is very obvious, he died of being hit by Heding Hong. In the palace, such drugs have been listed as forbidden drugs, and ordinary people cannot get them. ”

Chapter 239: Admitting Mistakes

Before Guo Ping could speak, Xiao Wanyao said, "Search all the people here, if it is really poisoned by the people here, the poison must still be on the body." If there is no poison on the people here, then it must be poisoned outside the cell, and it is not too late to investigate this palace maid when the time comes. ”

Guo Ping felt that what Xiao Wanyao said made sense, so he ordered people to start searching everyone present, except for the emperor and queen, of course.

However, the bottle containing the Crane Peak Red Poison was soon searched on the body of Destiny. Tianfang's face was shocked, and he knelt in front of Guo Ping, "The subordinates are wished, and the subordinates don't have such a thing at all." ”

Guo Ping stood up suddenly, his face full of anger, "I saw with my own eyes that I searched from you, and you still dare to quibble." Someone came, arrested him, and put him in prison for interrogation. ”

At this moment, Xiao Wanyao stood up, her face was extremely ugly, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill Rui'er?" Even if you have any dissatisfaction with me, come directly at me. ”

"Please ask the emperor to investigate, his subordinates are really wronged." Destiny argued.

Xiao Wanyao's eyes sank secretly, and her body couldn't help but soften, Guo Ping hurriedly hugged her, "I said, let you wait for news in the palace, you come over." I'll have you sent back. ”

Xiao Wanyao shook her head and said, "The concubine wants to see with her own eyes, who wants to kill Rui'er, he is so young, so innocent, even if I have any grievances with you, I can't involve him." ”

Guo Ping frowned and glared at Destiny angrily, "It seems that I believe in you too much, and I almost forgot that you are all real killers." ”

"You ......" The Mandate of Heaven has been tied, and at this moment he feels that even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he can't wash it away. Moreover, he was doing things for Xiao Wanyao from beginning to end, and he was doing what she said, but he became a prisoner and the killer.

Guo Ping ordered someone to interrogate the Mandate of Heaven, and then left. When Xiao Wanyao was leaving, she glanced back at him, a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and then disappeared at the door of the cell.

At this moment, Destiny really realized that he had been calculated, and he entered a trap that was originally designed. And the person who brought him in was Xiao Wanyao. What she really has to deal with is herself.

After Guo Ping returned, the people in the cell sent another message, saying that the person who died of poisoning in the cell was none other than a close confidant of the Mandate of Heaven. In this way, Guo Ping no longer has any doubts, and is sure that the person behind him who wants to kill Guo Rui is the destiny of heaven, and when he thinks of the destiny, he naturally thinks of another person - Mingjun. Destiny is his subordinate.

Guo Ping immediately sent someone to arrest the Mandate of Heaven and imprison him in the prison, as for the famous monarch, he didn't want to touch him for the time being, and this matter also needs to be investigated. He has captured the Mandate of Heaven, and the famous monarch will naturally come to him.

Here, Xiao Wanyao came alone to see the destiny in the prison.

Tianfang sat in the prison, watching her walk down the steps step by step, his eyes became heavier and heavier, with anger, he originally thought she was an interesting person, but it was just fun. didn't expect that she would have such means, and it would be irrefutable that it would fall into her hands like this.

She stood expressionless outside the dungeon, Destiny staring at her silently, and she had to speak first, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Tianfang's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at him deadly, and the words he said seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "Mingjun will not let you go." ”

She sneered, "This is more appropriate for me to say, I didn't want to attack you, I wanted to leave you to Mingyu to solve, because the person who wants to kill you more than me is Mingyu." It's you who have to make inches. ”

Xiao Wanyao said in a gloomy voice, "I already know Mingjun's plan, he wants to use the military talisman allocated to Lei Luo by the emperor to master the military power of the Chu State. Sue sù to you, don't think! As long as I am the queen of Chu for one day, you will not want to take anything from Chu. ”

Destiny gasped and looked at her, but she didn't expect that she even knew about it. Seeing his face change drastically, Xiao Wanyao evoked a satisfied smile and turned to leave.

Back in Xiyun Palace, Xiao Wanyao went to see Zhu'er first, and was a little relieved when she saw that her condition had improved, and then went to see Guo Rui. After experiencing this incident, Xiao Wanyao specially asked people to put a bed in her dormitory, and the nurse would accompany Guo Rui there on weekdays, and at night, Xiao Wanyao would also let Guo Rui sleep next to her.

Guo Ping was worried that something would happen to Xiyun Palace again, so he strengthened the patrol of the guards over there. It's just that after the Mandate of Heaven was arrested, there were many vacancies in the palace. No replacements were found for a while.

On this day, after Xiao Wanyao played with Guo Rui for a while, she saw Cui'er coming in from outside, so she asked the nurse to carry Guo Rui to the inner room, leaving Cui'er alone.

Cui'er saw that there was no one before she spoke, "The slave has prepared what the mother wants." But how can I put it in Chuxiu Palace? ”

Xiao Wanyao used the assassination of Guo Rui to put the Mandate of Heaven into the prison. But the person who really killed Guo Rui is still alive and well, so she has to make her look good next. But anyone who hurts the people around him must let them never recover, and there will be no day to turn over.

"Give me the medicine, you take good care of Zhu'er, and the rest will naturally be arranged by the palace."

Xiao Wanyao took the medicine from Cui'er's hand, it was her newly developed poison, after entering the palace, she had a deep interest in governing the country, but she did not abandon her own career of developing poisons.

She put the medicine on herself and went to the inner room to see Guo Rui, who had slept peacefully. After that, he took people out of Xiyun Palace and came to Changle Palace, where Guo Ping lived.

At this time, he was discussing things with the ministers of the court, and Wu Yong knew that the queen was coming, so he whispered to Guo Ping. Guo Ping asked Xiao Wanyao to wait for him in the back. After that, he discussed with the minister for a while, and then let them leave, and he came to the back of Changle Palace and saw Xiao Wanyao sitting there, alone in a daze.

Guo Ping motioned for the others to keep quiet, and he walked over slowly. It wasn't until his hand gently fell on her shoulder that she suddenly came back to her senses, got up and saluted, "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

"I saw you in a daze just now, still thinking about Rui'er?" Guo Ping asked softly. He sat down across from her.

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, "The concubine can't forget that scene no matter what. Fortunately, Zhu'er was in front of Rui'er, otherwise it would ......" To be honest, every time Xiao Wanyao thought of that moment, she felt really frightened when she thought that she almost lost Guo Rui. Infinite fear.

In her previous life, she had lost her child, and in this life, she didn't want to go through that kind of pain again. As soon as she thought about it, she couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart, this was what she was afraid of in the world, so she tried her best, even if she did whatever it takes, to protect her child.

Guo Ping sighed slightly, grabbed her hand and comforted, "I promise that such a thing will never appear in the palace, it is my improper use of people." It's just ......" Guo Ping's tone softened, and he looked at Xiao Wanyao, "How much hatred does Destiny have with you?" Why did you attack Ruier? What's in it for him to kill Riel? ”

This is something that Guo Ping has never been able to figure out, if he really has a deep hatred with Xiao Wanyao, in fact, there are many opportunities to attack her, why do you want to attack Ruier?

Xiao Wanyao looked at him, "The emperor is the one who reuses him, doesn't the emperor know who he is?" Or does the emperor have no grudges with him? ”

Guo Ping frowned and thought, "I have always been kind to them, and I don't have any grievances. ”

Xiao Wanyao sighed slightly, and said with a straight face, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows something about famous monarchs, this person must not be gullible, his ambitions are too great." When he was working for the Kyushu Gang in Wei, he had planned to seize the rivers and mountains of Wei, and now that he came to Chu, his concubines were worried that he also had bad intentions for the countries he went abroad. ”

When Guo Ping heard Xiao Wanyao's words, he paused slightly, and then smiled, "Wanyao, you're thinking too much!" Even if he had such a mind, he definitely didn't have such a skill. ”

"However, the emperor has to guard against it. Sometimes, you don't know what your opponent is doing behind his back. Xiao Wanyao reminded, but she didn't tell the story of Mingjun's use of Lei Luo, and this matter was only the news she had investigated, and she was not sure.

After the Mandate of Heaven was arrested, Mingjun acted more cautiously and carefully, and the eyeliner arranged by Zhenling around Mingjun began to be distrusted, not to mention that Zhenling has now left here with Zhentian, she is in the palace, and it is difficult to contact that eyeliner, because that person only believes in Zhenling.

Guo Ping nodded, although he didn't believe it in his heart, but he comforted Xiao Wanyao, "I will be careful, don't worry." I will never let them threaten my country, let alone give them a chance. ”

Looking at Xiao Wanyao, Guo Ping tilted his head, "The queen came here just to say these things to me?" ”

Xiao Wanyao pursed her lower lip, looking a little embarrassed, "The concubine has one more thing, I hope the emperor can help the concubine." ”

Guo Ping paused slightly, and said with a smile, "If the queen needs my help with anything, just say it, I can promise you." ”

Only then did she ask the people on the side to bring the food box, and took out a plate of fluffy bean cakes from it and put it in front of Guo Ping, "The emperor tasted it, it was made by the concubine himself." ”

Guo Ping took a piece casually and tasted it, it was very soft, a little sweet, and there was a hint of medicinal fragrance, "How can it smell like medicine?" ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled, "The concubine added a few herbs to it, all of which are some medicines that nourish the body and are beneficial to the human body." Saying that, she also took a piece and ate it, "Usually concubines often eat this, which is very good for the recovery of the body." ”

Guo Ping ate it deliciously, and couldn't help but pick up another piece and eat it. Later, when I wanted to take it again, I was stopped by Xiao Wanyao, "The emperor's concubines have made these, if the emperor wants to eat, the concubines will make them for the emperor to eat in the future, but these will be left to the virtuous concubine." ”

Guo Ping was stunned again, he thought that Xiao Wanyao took out this to let him help her taste it, it tasted delicious, especially with a medicinal smell in it, it was like this, it felt more unique to eat, "The queen is planning to give it to Concubine Xian?" ”

She nodded, lowered her head and showed a look of self-reproach, and said, "After experiencing this incident, every time the concubine thinks that she almost lost Rui'er, she can't sleep at night, and she must be even more sad for the concubine." The concubine couldn't compensate her, but the words she said to the concubine at that time really made the concubine a little annoyed, so she didn't think about punishing her so much for kneeling outside. Thinking about it, she should really think about her pregnancy at that time, and the concubine should also control her temper. ”

Guo Ping has actually been waiting for Xiao Wanyao to take the initiative to admit his mistake, he believes that Xiao Wanyao is not the kind of person who is ruthless, and the loss of a child can only be said to be an accident. After the incident happened before, not only did she not have a trace of remorse, but she was so arrogant, he would be so angry, sad, and annoyed that he would beat her.

Now that she can say such things, Guo Ping naturally feels a lot better. R1154
