"陛xià." Xiao Xiao tried her best to show her deference and cowardice, thinking that the emperor would not embarrass a weak woman, she didn't want to do this kind of errand for a bird, and if she said something wrong, she would definitely die ugly.

"I heard that you have been in Xiahou Chenyi's kitchen today?" Uncle Emperor didn't show any gentleness towards Xiaoxiao, who had a look of fear, and still had that cold voice.

Xiaoxiao knew that his trick seemed to be completely useless to the emperor's uncle, and sure enough, the man's idea of gentleness was left to his favorite sister's paper, and he was afraid that he would not be able to say something today, and it was really the first time that Han Xuantian and this emperor's uncle were biological father and son, and they didn't know how to pity the jade!

"Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers have indeed been in Xiahou Chenyi's kitchen today, but the courtiers haven't found any suspicious people." You have the right to ask me and you have the right to choose to be silent, Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she was still full of wit.

"Oh? How did I hear that although you were not involved in the preparation of the mushroom soup, you Gu Xiaoxiao were the one who put the finishing touches on the plate and sent it to the tent? ”

"It's true, because Brother Chenyi has already entered the tent to meet His Majesty, so there is no one to supervise the kitchen, and the courtiers took over this errand, but because there are too many people involved in the preparation and serving, the courtiers are also busy, so they didn't find anything abnormal." Xiaoxiao was shocked, at the moment, the emperor's uncle had the intention of pointing the finger at himself, didn't he also see something, and felt that it was better to let his daughter-in-law, who was about to run away, be blamed than his own son being suspected, right?

"Are you really too busy to observe, or are you simply not aware of it? Or? Uncle Emperor's meaning couldn't be more obvious, and a few words instantly made the faces of the three people except Han Xuantian change.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers really don't know, and I hope that Your Majesty will see it!" Xiaoxiao instantly felt that cold sweat began to break out on the corners of his forehead, these words sounded painless, but if he really took it, he was afraid that he couldn't afford the crime of murdering the imperial concubine.

At the same time, a thought broke into Xiaoxiao's mind, he had just analyzed it for a long time, and the only thing he didn't take into account was what if today's incident was not aimed at anyone here at all, but at himself? But if so, who would do this to himself and to such a place? Uncle Emperor? Han Xuantian? Or which one had a holiday with the Prime Minister's family?

"Your Majesty, forgive Weichen for talking too much, the minister thinks that what Miss Gu said should be true, and Weichen has three points of view that can prove that this matter is definitely not done by Miss Gu!" Just when Xiaoxiao was thinking about how he could prove his innocence, a warm voice sounded, and Duan Heng stepped forward and bowed to speak.

"Duan Qing said let's see which three points are!" The emperor did not stop Duan Heng, but his face was calm and he bowed his head slightly and motioned for him to continue.

"That Weichen explained, first of all, the first point, if Miss Gu wants to poison Niangniang, she should be prepared not to be suspected, or find a good scapegoat, otherwise I am afraid that no one will do this thing that poisons the other party and will cost her life." Duan Heng's clear eyes looked firmly at the emperor above, and when he saw that the other party had no objection, he continued to analyze.

"Second, everyone knows that the food of the female dependents is prepared by temporary notice, and the tent of the female dependents is not as spacious as the main tent, so everyone sits and eats together, and the mushroom soup is directly placed on the table next to the side for the drinker to take it immediately, so in this case, which bowl will be drunk by Concubine Gu cannot be known in advance."

"Finally, the third point is that the reason for the cooking competition will be held this time is also known to everyone present, and everyone knows the person who Miss Gu likes the most." Speaking of this, Duan Heng glanced at Xiaoxiao with complicated eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were ethereal, and there seemed to be a trace of melancholy around his body.

"And Concubine Li is afraid that it is too late to be close to Miss Gu, how can Miss Gu hurt Concubine Li? The most important thing is that what happened today is more harmful than beneficial to Miss Gu, who would do this kind of thing to lift a stone and shoot himself at his feet? After Duan Heng finished speaking, he bowed and waited for the emperor's judgment.

"In this way, what Duan Qing said is reasonable and well-founded, but although Gu Xiaoxiao's suspicion can be temporarily ruled out now, after all, it is she Gu Xiaoxiao who is most likely to know, and she will have to wronged Miss Gu for a while before the person who poisoned her is caught."

Although the emperor's uncle had to let Xiaoxiao go because of Duan Heng's words, it was obvious that there was no reasonable explanation for this matter, and Xiaoxiao would not be able to pass this hurdle.

Uncle Emperor waved his hand and prepared to let them retreat first, but before this hand was raised, Han Xuantian, who was standing aside, suddenly opened his mouth.

"Father, emperor, son, and minister have something to say!" Han Xuantian stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and his expression was also a rare look of respect.

"Say it!"

"Father, Erchen has just noticed the broken bowl containing the mushroom soup, on which is Concubine Li's favorite acacia pattern, and most of the other soup bowls on the table are flower patterns, Erchen thinks that if this incident is said to be an accident if Concubine Li's poisoning will be an accident, then this poisonous mushroom soup seems to be a little too coincidental in the soup bowl with a hehuan pattern."

The emperor's eyebrows furrowed a little, "The emperor said so, it seems that the second point that Duan Qing just said needs to be scrutinized?" ”

"That's not what my father and sons meant!" Xiaoxiao just wanted to secretly scold Han Xuantian for falling into the well and holding on to herself, but when she heard his words, she instantly looked at Han Xuantian with a stern face.

"If it is said that there are not a few people who know that Concubine Li's mother likes Hehuan, but the person who can influence Concubine Li's mother to drink the poisonous mushroom soup can only do it if she is waiting in front of Niangniang, Erchen feels that Miss Gu is afraid that she will not be able to do this!" Han Xuantian looked at his father like he didn't see Xiaoxiao staring at him at all.

"So, this incident was done by someone in collusion with the harem? And the purpose is to take Li'er's life? The emperor's face became more and more gloomy, if someone is constantly involved with the harem, then I am afraid that the matter cannot be so simple.

"Father and Emperor Zichen think that maybe things are not as complicated as we have analyzed......" Han Xuantian was just halfway through his words, when a small eunuch outside the tent hurriedly ran in.

"Your Majesty's matter has an eyebrow!"

"Say!"

"Yes! Back to His Majesty, Lord Yuwen of the Shuntian Mansion just now was ordered to question all the people involved in the small camp, and Xia He, the palace maid who was close to Concubine Li, behaved abnormally when she was questioned, and she was already guarded by Lord Yuwen alone and waiting for His Majesty to interrogate! ”

"Oh?" Uncle Emperor's expression was profound, and the corners of his mouth suddenly sneered, and the eagle eyes that were originally burning with anger swept sharply over the four people in front of him at this moment, "You all come with me!" ”

"Yes!" The four of them spoke in unison, only Xiaoxiao instantly felt that he was saved, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Those who are relieved to clean themselves will be clear." Duan Heng stepped forward and quietly put Xiaoxiao on his arm to help her stabilize her body, and her beautiful hand slid and shook Xiaoxiao's fingertips, and with that gentle smile on her face, she signaled her to follow the team.

Xiaoxiao looked at Duan Heng's comforting eyes and thought about the remarks he had just argued for himself, and unconsciously his eyes drifted to Xiahou Chenyi who was walking in front, I don't know why Xiaoxiao felt that Xiahou Chenyi seemed to be too quiet today, and always felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as he thought.
