"Bad" is a subtle word, a perception of the current situation, a stress response, but people often have to suffer misfortune in the next moment, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an irreversible fate.

For Zhao Ji, it was a bad night, and it could even be said to be unfortunate. When the Queen Mother called his name, he had this feeling, when he saw his personal purse, in just a few seconds, he felt that his life had come to an end. If you want to ask Zhao Ji what kind of mood he is in at the moment, he will probably hope that someone can stab him.

It is normal for a purse to be stolen, but it is a small probability event to be stolen into the palace; it is even more incredible to be stolen into the palace and appear at the scene of the murder, no one believes it if there is no premeditation; and a villain is stuffed in the purse to curse the emperor, which is a capital crime at all.

In fact, witchcraft was not forbidden in the palace - not because it was heresy, but because it was so believed that most people believed that witchcraft was effective, so that if someone was found to be using it to curse, it would be a great treachery.

He quickly sorted out the most likely context of the matter, and even deduced it even deeper.

——The vendor who sold him osmanthus cake obeyed Zhao Li's orders, and when a premeditated chaos appeared, he pretended to save his sister, took his purse with the sheep, stuffed such a doll in it, sneaked into the palace, put the purse into the soup that the emperor wanted to drink, and then planted him and retreated.

- Well, either he is very skilled, or he is from the palace, or both. What is certain is that he was loyal to Zhao Li, otherwise how could he be willing to beat him half to death without resisting? As for Zhao Li's murderous behavior during the period, it may just be out of Zhao Li's personal hobby, which makes a scene more realistic, so it can be ignored.

- But, at least he didn't poison the emperor. People who believe in witchcraft do not want to believe in pharmacology after a long time.

Zhao Ji felt that he was quite smart, and he kept his composure at such a critical juncture. Maybe it's because there are so many things he encountered today, and he is no longer surprised. Zhao Ji thought so and smiled bitterly.

"Is there any evidence for these statements?" Zhao Yan listened to Zhao Ji's analysis and said with a smile, "You said that I wanted to harm you, so I asked my people to steal your purse, rushed to the palace after performing a play, and put this doll in the purse? So where is this person now?"

Zhao Ji said: "Shouldn't this question be asked to you?"

"My brother, I didn't think you were so cute. According to you, my people use your things to murder the emperor, so he must be very fast first. Have you forgotten, dear brother, that there is not even half an hour between the time the peddler escapes and the Queen Mother finds someone to let us go back to the palace, and it takes half an hour to go back to the palace from Goolan. Can't you run away with your own long feet in your purse?"

Zhao Ji said: "You-"

"You can't be amnesia, my dear brother. You said that I tried to kill you several times, but you were with General Wang, and General Wang could even protect the Great Song Dynasty, so couldn't he catch a thief who took your purse? You have been in danger many times, so why is Wang Liefeng, who protects you, always absent? Could it be that Zhao Yan said, "He is here for you to murder the emperor?"

Zhao Ji didn't expect that he was put on the other side, and the spearhead was not at him, but at Wang Liefeng. His first reaction was to retort: "Let me tell you Zhao Li, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Liefeng to do this kind of thing - even if I have a thought, he will never do it!"

"Enough!" the Queen Mother shouted angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about, Ji'er?"

Zhao Ji came back to his senses and immediately knelt down: "Imperial grandmother! Grandson has no intention of harming the emperor, there is another person behind the scenes, look at the emperor's grandmother Mingjian." ”

"You are already guilty, and if you argue more, your guilt will be increased!"

Zhao Ji was dripping in a cold sweat: "Yes." ”

At this time, Gonggong Yang came up again and said: "Queen Mother, just now the slave ordered a few subordinates to search everywhere, you see-"

The Queen Mother nodded: "Tell everyone, where did this come from?"

Gonggong Yang took a piece of white silk from his hands, handed it over, and held it with both hands so that everyone could see it: "Back to the Queen Mother, this was found in the Queen Mother's room." ”

The contents of the purse were not poison, but a broken elixir. Its shell is dark blue, and when you change the angle, you can see a golden light. This is the luster that everyone is familiar with, because the bowl of soup that the emperor drank also exudes such a non-blue and non-yellow. Mysterious color.

Zhao Ji's face changed suddenly: "This is-"

The Queen Mother said: "Don't you recognize this thing? I can recognize it, it didn't come out of the alchemy furnace, where else did it come from?"

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and then heard Queen Liu's laughter, and laughed horribly.

"Isn't this what the surnamed Meng loved to do most back then? I can recognize this medicine when it is burned to ashes, it is the illness of the surnamed Meng, and the imperial doctor wants to treat her, but she doesn't want it, so she has to ask for a miracle medicine from nowhere! I said at that time that this Meng family has a deep mind, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the emperor. Who would have thought that this medicine would now become mine? Queen Mother, you are really Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!"

"The queen mother," Yang Gonggong bowed and smiled coldly, "What do you accuse the Queen Mother of doing? This thing was found in your room, if it was made by the Queen, why do you want to keep it until now? You say that you are innocent, and the Queen's Death may not have been framed, right?"

Zhao Ji was a little at a loss: It's really amazing, and now it has something to do with the abolished queen back then.

It's just a no-brainer.

Zhao Ji still remembers the "Edict of the Abolition of the Empress Meng" - it was a letter of resignation written by the emperor himself: "Queen Meng, bewildered by heresies, coerced and flattered...... I have been sad all night, and I have a good night...... Abandoned in Yaohua Palace, given the name Huayang Sect Master, Yuqing Miaojing Immortal Master, and his legal name is Chongzhen. ”

Empress Meng was deposed on the grounds that she was misleading the public with fallacies and advocating evil ways. Maybe the various reasons are not known to others, but one of the crimes of this side door is "alchemy", which is strictly forbidden in the palace.

Yang Gonggong said: "Queen Mother, tell me, what's going on?"

"The surname Yang ...... You dog!"

"Queen Mother, when the queen was abolished, she said the same thing. ”

The servant brought a cup of tea and handed it to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother took the cup and took a sip slowly: "I said Queen, if you don't do anything, even if you are searched." If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, right? But I didn't ask someone to search it, nor did Yang Gonggong ask someone to search it. Do you know who it is?—— it was King Shen who asked someone to search for it. ”

The queen obviously shook her whole body, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Zhao Li?" She turned her head and looked at Zhao Tong incredulously, her voice was urned, like a serious typhoid fever, like a hysterical wild cat howling in the wild wind in the spring, "Zhao Li, you want to harm me-"

Zhao Yan smiled with a pair of phoenix eyes, and his voice was very soft: "What's the matter, Queen Mother." My younger brother is young, and he is easily tempted by flowers and plants, and he is also easily deceived. But you just blame my brother, and you still want to drag me into the water?"

Zhao Ji heard the unusualness.

The queen is a stunning beauty, but also a charming demon. Her facial features are rich and sharp, her eyes are fierce, and her red lips are dripping blood. She was fat-skinned, tall, thin and plump, bumpy - how could the emperor not love her before he became empress?

The emperor never loved the queen, the emperor loved the concubine, the concubine was something they didn't have to follow the ancestral teachings to marry, they could choose by their own preferences, and they could also be discarded and left in a flash, it was a mixture of truth and falsehood, giving people a stimulating hunting behavior, a group of beautiful prey. It's just that I didn't expect her to be so fierce, and in turn controlled the emperor, fundamentally overthrew this unequal model, and used the emperor's power to correct herself step by step - who would have thought that she would become the queen in the end?

However, she could also be at the center of the storm at any time. With the emperor's ascension, she has to face the resistance of the controllers who support the emperor's ascension, such as the queen mother. The Queen Mother personally selected Meng as the queen, but instead of living in harmony with Meng, the emperor intensified to such an extent.

- No matter how you think about it, it's all her Liu Qingjing's fault!

Zhao Ji can understand her, and he is even willing to talk to her when he has the opportunity, after all, women are the most beautiful things in the world, and beautiful women are even more scarce, because they are scarce, so they are envied a lot, so people think that they have a share of all the faults.

Zhao Ji can also understand Zhao Xu, the current emperor Song Zhezong, his favorite brother - he is a gentle and peaceful person, gentle and freedom-loving, he doesn't want to be bound by any old decadence, Empress Liu is beautiful and crazy, uncontrolled, and agrees with his heart to some extent, he will definitely like her.

But Zhao Ji couldn't understand Empress Liu's behavior of trying to frame him. She was Zhao Li's accomplice, but Zhao Tong was even more magical, and she retreated.

"Zhao Li, it's obviously you! You see that the emperor has no heirs, so you want to kill the emperor-"

"Don't say it!" said the Queen Mother angrily.

The queen ignored it. Her emotions grew more and more intense, and she couldn't even control it. She was a little out of order, and what she said sounded a little strange: "But you are wrong, Your Royal Highness King Shen, ah? You think that if you kill the emperor, you will be able to sit on the throne, so you poison him, but you are wrong, how can things be so simple? I am also wrong, I think that you love me more than the emperor......"

Zhao Ji was dumbfounded, and lost the ability to think for a while.

The atmosphere around it also dropped below freezing in an instant.

Zhao Ji heard Zhao Yan's voice: "The queen is tired, come here, help the queen to rest......"

"Where are you going to rest?

This is good, the Queen Mother's suspicion is not only him, but also Zhao Tong - Zhao Tong is already very suspicious, as an insider, he must know a lot more than him Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji heard Zhang Dian say to the Queen Mother that General Wang Da's whereabouts were also suspicious today, and he tried to climb over the wall and get out of the palace before the incident, as if he was looking for someone...... Even if it is not motivated by bad intentions, it is a dereliction of duty and should be held accountable...... It's better to let him make up for his mistakes and investigate the truth of this matter......

Subsequently, the Queen Mother asked, "Where is Wang Liefeng?"
