Chapter 242: In a Puzzle

Sixi soon came to Concubine Lu, she looked a little haggard, her face was slightly pale, and she was originally slender, so she was more like a weak willow at the moment.

Concubine Lu knelt down towards Xi Ze, and Ying Ying said: "The concubine sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Xi Ze didn't scream, his eyebrows frowned slightly, his expression was cold, there was no temperature in his words, he asked: "Concubine Lu, I heard that after the eldest son of the emperor ate the hibiscus cake you brought yesterday, he was poisoned and fainted, what is going on?" ”

Concubine Lu hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know what's going on, the concubine also ate hibiscus cake yesterday, and then she was poisoned and fainted, and she didn't wake up until this morning!" ”

Xi Ze's expression became colder: "Obviously, your hibiscus cake is poisonous, why is it poisonous?" Didn't you place it? ”

Concubine Lu was in a hurry and hurriedly said, "Wronged! The concubine herself also ate the hibiscus cake, how could she poison the hibiscus cake? Isn't that poisoning yourself? The poison in the hibiscus cake is not under the concubine, if the concubine is poisoned, she will not eat the hibiscus cake, the emperor is clear, the concubine is wronged, and the concubine does not know who gave the poison in the hibiscus cake! ”

Xi Ze was still frowning, looking straight at Concubine Lu, as if she wanted to see her through and penetrate the secret of her heart, her flickering eyelashes looked very innocent, Xi Ze stared slightly, and asked, "How did the hibiscus cake come from?" ”

Concubine Lu replied truthfully: "The hibiscus cake is made by Li Feng in the imperial dining room!" ”

"Li Feng? Chef Lee? ”

Concubine Lu nodded and said, "Yes, it's him!" ”

Xi Ze looked out the door and said to Sixi: "Pass Li Feng!" ”

Soon, Sixi came to Li Feng.

This Li Feng looked very strong, he knelt down towards Xi Ze, kowtowed, and said: "Slave see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Xi Ze looked at this Li Feng carefully and asked, "Chef Li, I ask you, you made the hibiscus cake that was given to the emperor's eldest son yesterday?" ”

Li Feng was a little dazed, and only replied after a while: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave did make hibiscus cake yesterday and sent it to Lanxin Pavilion, but whether it was given to the emperor's eldest son, the slave doesn't know!" ”

At this moment, Concubine Lu suddenly said: "The imperial dining room sent a plate of hibiscus cake to the concubine's Lanxin Pavilion yesterday, and the concubine brought it to the emperor's eldest son, which was made by this Li Feng, because of his good craftsmanship, the concubine specially asked Li Feng to make hibiscus cake!" ”

Xi Ze's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, he looked straight at Li Feng, and said with majesty: "Chef Li, the hibiscus cake you made has arsenic poison in it, what's going on?" Didn't you place it? ”

Li Feng was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Wronged!" How dare the slave poison the hibiscus cake, the slave has never done such a thing, please Emperor Mingjian! The minions are really wronged......"

Everyone shouted that they were wronged, could it be that this thing was done by a ghost? Xi Ze listened to the anger burning slightly, and sharply interrupted and shouted, "Enough, the hibiscus cake you made was poisonous, causing the emperor's eldest son to almost lose his life, it wasn't you who poisoned it, so who ordered it?" ”

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and said with great grievance: "Your Majesty, the slave really didn't poison him, how can the slave have such courage?" The palace is full of nobles, how dare the minions poison people? It's just that...... This imperial dining room is full of people, and the minions have made the hibiscus cake, and they have to be busy with other things, so it is impossible to take care of it......" He tried to recall the situation yesterday, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration, he exclaimed, "Your Majesty, the slave remembered, yesterday, after the servant made the hibiscus cake, Aunt Yongxu in the Fenghua Palace once came to the imperial dining room and took a turn next to the minion's hibiscus cake, the minion did not pay attention to it at the time, but now it is very suspicious!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xi Ze and everyone's eyes turned to Yongsu standing behind Fu Ningyan.

Xi Ze asked in a deep voice, "Yongxu, did you go to the imperial dining room yesterday evening?" ”

Yongsu was still calm, she walked to the palace, knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor's words, yesterday Niangniang said that the emperor would come to Fenghua Palace for dinner in the evening, so she sent the slave maid to the imperial dining room to see the dinner, so the slave and maid went to the imperial dining room to take a look, but the slave and maid did not touch any hibiscus cake, and did not know that the imperial dining room made hibiscus cake, please the emperor Mingjian!" ”

There was another one that made him Mingjian, Xi Ze was very annoyed, and he asked coldly: "You really haven't touched the hibiscus cake?" ”

Yongsu replied firmly: "No! ”

"Then why is hibiscus cake poisonous?" Xi Ze asked unceremoniously.

Yongsu trembled slightly, but still replied calmly: "The slave doesn't know! ”

Xi Ze was furious and roared: "Presumptuous, you all shouted wronged, all of you don't know, did the poison of arsenic go into the hibiscus cake with long legs?" Yongxu, the work of the imperial dining room is normal, only you have been to the imperial dining room yesterday, are you poisoned? Who instructed you? ”

Saying that, Xi Ze swept towards Fu Ningyan with cold eyes, obviously, Xi Ze suspected Fu Ningyan, and Fu Ningyan was shocked when she saw this.

Yongsu replied hurriedly: "Emperor Mingjian, the slave and maid are really wronged!" The slave was not poisoned! ”

Xi Ze endured his anger and said, "You are still hard-mouthed, it seems that you are going to use some methods!" Someone ...... coming."

Before she finished speaking, Fu Ningyan walked out and hurriedly interrupted: "Emperor Mingjian, Yongxu really went to the imperial dining room at the behest of the concubine, and did not do anything else!" ”

Xi Ze couldn't help but sneer: "Why, Shuyi came out to speak so quickly?" I haven't asked you yet! ”

Fu Ningyan was unusually calm, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine dared to guess that the poison in the hibiscus cake was from Concubine Lu, and she wanted to use Yongxu to plant the concubine!" ”

Concubine Lu's face flushed with anger when she heard this, she turned to look at Fu Ningyan, and said sharply: "Xiang Shuyi, don't spew blood, how could I poison the hibiscus cake, I have always loved the eldest son of the emperor, how could I harm him?" Besides, I eat hibiscus cake myself, will I poison myself? It doesn't make sense! Don't accuse! ”

Fu Ningyan met the gaze of Concubine Lu without fear, there was a gleam of light at the bottom of her eyes, shining, like a poisonous snake spitting out a faint letter, she keenly judged the situation in front of her, and said hatefully: "What is it about poisoning yourself?" If you don't do it ruthlessly, who will believe it! Although you also ate hibiscus cake, but last night the emperor's eldest son's life hung by a thread, and the imperial doctors were helpless, and the divine doctors played several games to save the emperor's eldest son, and you? You just woke up after a coma, there is not much danger at all, obviously you knew in advance that the hibiscus cake was poisonous, and you took the antidote, so you were fine, so the poison of the hibiscus cake was yours!
