Hearing this sudden bad news, the empress almost fainted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

'Fortunately' Long Kui happened to be by her side, she immediately made a decision, let people bring Chu Qingluo and Peony into the main hall first, and ordered He Yujie to inspect Ziyan's body with Qi Zuo, in addition, a team of people was sent to carefully search the top and bottom of Guangrentang, and no trace could be missed.

The empress's grief could not be calmed down for a long time, she really couldn't accept that a person who had been with her all the time would suddenly never wake up.

The empress looked at Chu Qingluo and Peony who were kneeling in the hall with tears in her eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "...... What the hell is going on?! Ziyan was fine this morning, and said that he was going to the Buddha hall to pray for me and offer incense. How can it be that in the blink of an eye, people are so silently gone?! ”

At this moment, Chu Qingluo's face was lifeless except for the dried tears. Her empty black eyes stared straight at the ground, and she muttered back, "Lord Ziyan......"

What to say at this moment?

To tell the truth, Ziyan looked for her because he wanted to remind her that the eighth princess and the nightshade wanted to plot against her?

In the eyes of the empress, this is unfounded and inevitably absurd. And the culprit, Nightshade, is standing there gloating, like a vulture, staring at its prey, ready to attack.

It seems that no matter how Chu Qingluo chooses, what awaits her in front of her is full of deep pits!

"Lord Ziyan came to Guangrentang to find a lower official, it seems that he has something to say......" Chu Qingluo glanced up at Long Kui without fear, only to see that her eyes were full of confidence and insidiousness, and she really looked like a wolf and a tiger. But before Lord Ziyan could speak, he suddenly began to vomit blood. ”

Chu Qingluo tried to take a breath and emphasized: "Xia Guan suspects that Lord Ziyan may have inadvertently mastered someone's secret or offended someone, and then was ruthlessly poisoned and murdered. ”

When the empress heard this, she said in disbelief: "Ziyan is humble and prudent, how can he offend people?" What's more, with his current status, who is so bold as to dare to poison him?! ”

"Holy Lord, the lower officials think that Lord Chu's statement is a little unreasonable." Long Kui continued: "If Lord Ziyan really offended someone, and was poisoned before he went to Guangrentang, then why didn't the person who poisoned him imprison, but let him run around?" Aren't you afraid that the so-called 'secret' will be revealed? ”

"And what if the poisoning is done in secret?" Chu Qingluo asked rhetorically, "Lord Nightshade, this should be easy to explain, right?" ”

"Okay, even if Lord Chu's assumption is true, what is the matter with Lord Ziyan going to Lord Chu?"

"Xiaguan just said it, Lord Ziyan hasn't had time to explain his intentions."

"Is that really the case?" The corners of Long Kui's mouth raised an evil smile, and he said deliberately: "It is reported that the relationship between Lord Chu and Lord Ziyan is extraordinary......

"What do you mean by this?!" Chu Qingluo stared at the ill-intentioned nightshade, eager to poke a few holes in her.

Ignoring her hatred, Long Kui turned to the empress and said, "Holy Lord, before Lord Ziyan was promoted to the male attendant of the Five Things, he was in the same garment pavilion with Lord Chu, and they were very familiar with each other......"

The empress phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said coldly: "Long Aiqing, what do you want to say?" ”

"Xia Guan just wants to say that in fact, Lord Ziyan will go to Guangren Hall to find Lord Chu, which is not a particularly strange thing."

"Ridiculous!" Ziyan had just had an accident, and the empress was very sad and indignant when she heard Long Kui's words, and scolded: "Ziyan has always adhered to self-discipline and is not allowed to talk nonsense!" ”

"It's the lower official who has said more, and the lower official is guilty!" The old fox hurriedly saluted the empress.

At this time, He Yujie and Qi Zuo came to explain the situation.

He Yujie said: "Holy Lord, after being tested by the lower officials and the servants, Lord Ziyan was poisoned by arsenic and died. ”

"Arsenic ......?" The empress's body couldn't help but sink back, her face tired and sad.

Nightshade asked, "Lord He, what else have you discovered?" ”

"Yes, it's just ......" He Yujie glanced at Chu Qingluo on the side with deep meaning, as if she didn't dare to finish the rest of the words.

"Just what?!" The empress couldn't see her pretending to be submissive, and said sharply: "If you have something to say, if you dare to half-hide it, I will let you go to the funeral immediately!" ”

"The Holy One is angry!" He Yujie was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The guards who searched Guangrentang just now came to report that the tea in the teapot in the inner hall was different, and after inspection, arsenic was mixed in the tea!" ”

"It can't be!" Peony, who had not said a word, was suddenly shocked. The tea in the inner hall was added by herself, how could there be a poison like arsenic?!

He Yujie glanced at the peony and said, "The evidence is conclusive, and the guards who searched Guangrentang can all testify." ”

Chu Qingluo stared at the treacherous and cunning nightshade speechlessly, her old face was really getting more and more ...... Nauseating!

Is this the ultimate purpose of nightshade? blame her for the crime of killing Ziyan.

Chu Qingluo had no choice but to knock his head and say, "Holy Lord! This matter is definitely not the work of Xia Guan and Mo Shao! Holy See! ”

If it was said that Chu Qingluo had poisoned Ziyan, the empress would not believe it. "Even if there is arsenic mixed in the tea in the inner hall of Guangren Hall, it cannot prove that it was Chu Aiqing's doing."

"What the Holy One said is very true." Long Kui said: "This matter needs to be further verified before it can be concluded. ”

"Check! I have to find out! ”

"Holy Master." Of course, Long Kui was not so kind, and then said: "It's just that Lord Ziyan was poisoned and died in Guangren Hall, and the clues that I have now all point to Lord Chu...... Lord Chu is also to blame at the moment. ”

After hearing this, the phoenix eyes looked at Chu Qingluo's black pupils...... Although she believed that these eyes full of sadness would not harm Ziyan, Long Kui was right, before the truth was known, Chu Qingluo could only be detained.

In the end, the empress turned her heart and said, "First put Chu Aiqing and this executive officer in the heavenly prison together." ”

Chu Qingluo didn't argue too much, but just said lightly: "The lower official believes that the saint is discerning, and he will definitely return the innocence of the lower official." With that, she and Peony were taken away by the guards.

I really didn't expect that the third time I went to the prison, I would have to sit through the bottom of the prison.

On the way, Chu Qingluo opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry Peony, it's me who has caused you trouble." ”

"How could it be that you are the one who is causing me trouble?" Although Peony was anxious and scared, she tried not to let this emotion come out, lest Chu Qingluo blame herself even more. "I went to make the tea, there could be no arsenic at all, it was definitely maliciously framed!"

"This time I also took Ziyan's life, it is really dangerous, I am really worried about ......" Chu Qingluo looked at her with guilt, and choked up: "Peony, you must live well." ”

Peony reached out to hold Chu Qingluo's hand, with tears in her eyes: "Qingluo too, you must live well." ”

Chu Qingluo has not recovered since she lost Gongsun Yu, and this time she is in prison again, Peony is afraid that she will completely lose her fighting spirit to survive, and she will never recover......

Something more terrible than a predicament is despair. (To be continued.) )
