After Li Changqing listened to Li Dequan's words, he first glanced at Concubine Xiao Guifei and then at Concubine De. In the end, his eyes fell on Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning was very uncomfortable, and said with dissatisfaction: "Miss Li, how is it?" We've been sleepy waiting. ”

"I'm waiting for a while. I need confirmation. ”

Concubine Ning looked dissatisfied and said, "How long do you have to wait?" ”

"Is Concubine Ning in a hurry?" Li Changqing asked rhetorically.

"I ......"

"Concubine Ning—" Concubine Xiao said leisurely.

Concubine Ning glanced at Concubine Xiao and lowered her head: "Then wait a little longer." ”

"Ning Concubine is very unhappy? Or is there something you're worried about? Li Changqing walked up to her and whispered in her ear.

Concubine Ning's body stiffened, and she immediately denied: "No, no, no, what will I worry about?" He said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Li Changqing didn't speak, glanced at her, and stood aside and continued to wait.

When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to ask again.

It wasn't until a while later that the dark one passed the word, and Xuanyuan Chu sued Li Changqing, that she said, "Okay, now you can sue you?" ”

"The Queen Mother's diet and daily life are normal on weekdays, but I have just smelled the fragrance of osmanthus from the fox fur coat, presumably the Queen Mother has been wearing a fox fur coat with osmanthus flowers."

"So what?" Xuanyuan Jia was a little puzzled.

"Smell the fragrance of osmanthus for a long time, easy to be poisoned, I remember, the last time I came, there were a lot of osmanthus trees in the side hall, the fragrance drifted around for a long time, it will make people slowly poisoned, but as long as the room is ventilated, it has little impact......

said, looked at Siqiu, and said: "Just now, I didn't ask Siqiu, so, Siqiu, tell me, is the Queen Mother's house ventilated on weekdays?" ”

"The Queen Mother is quiet on weekdays, even during the day, she asks the slaves and maids to close the windows." Siqiu was suddenly named, and replied without even a little hesitation.

"That's right, because the queen mother has been ventilated for a long time, she is prone to osmanthus poison, but this robe is in charge of Sixia, and it contains the fragrance of osmanthus, which is a little strange."

Li Changqing said, his eyes glanced at Si Xia, but he saw that her face changed suddenly, and her body trembled a little. She didn't expect this Miss Li to look so closely.

"Say, what's going on?" Mama Yu rushed forward, grabbed Si Xia's arm, and asked sharply.

Si Xia was stunned, and fell to her knees with a pop: "Slave, slave and maid don't know." ”

"I don't know, this robe was sewn by you, and the Queen Mother praised it for a long time, and now there is the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, will you know?" Mama Yu is not a person who is easy to fool, the inner ghost I said before, could it be that Si Xia's little hoof?

"No, it's not the slave, the slave doesn't know, the slave and the maid are sewn by themselves, but the osmanthus fragrant slave really doesn't know."

Li Changqing's eyes narrowed, picked up a bottle of peony flower arrangement on the table, brought it to Sixia, and said, "You smell it, does it smell sweet?" ”

Sixia sniffed it and nodded yes.

"You lie, the peony smells very light during the day, it is so light that it can hardly be smelled, and it only at night will it emit a strong fragrance." After a pause, he glanced at Sixia with complicated eyes: "Can't you smell it?" ”

Si Xia had tears in his eyes at this time, his eyes were stubbornly tight, and when he heard Li Changqing's words, he refused to nod.

"You say now, maybe you'll live."

"Yes......" Si Xia replied in a low voice.

"Who has been to your house during the sewing of the robe?"

Sixia hesitated.

"It's okay if you don't say it, if I'm not mistaken, your needle and thread have been sprinkled with peony dew." Speaking of this, Li Changqing only felt a little dizzy, and his body staggered, Xuanyuan Chu and Ning Tianlin stretched out their hands at the same time to support her.

"What's going on?" The two asked at the same time, and then glanced at each other, both of whom turned their heads arrogantly.

And Xuanyuan Qiteng stood up, frightened Murong Beibei to take a few steps back, and when he looked at him, Xuanyuan Qi's eyes were already clear.

Li Changqing was a little careless, and actually forgot that he actually had osmanthus allergies, and the poison in his body was also osmanthus poison.

She was so bold to smell the fragrance of osmanthus that she didn't feel a cold sweat.

Xuanyuan's evil eyes were dyed with a hint of worry, and her hands curled up tightly, looking at the hands of the two of them on her slender waist, almost wanting to chop them off.

Li Changqing stood firm, just said that it was okay, and continued: "Or you have another secret. ”

Si Xia subconsciously glanced at Si Chun next to him, but still didn't speak.

"Sichun, what's wrong with your hand?" Li Changqing suddenly stepped forward and took Sichun's hand and asked.

"Nothing?" Sichun was busy trying to withdraw his hand, but Li Changqing grabbed it and said, "Does osmanthus smell good?" ”

Said and sneered: "Si Xia covered it up for you, but you borrowed a knife to kill people, and made osmanthus into dew and fell on the needle and thread unconsciously, you know that Si Xia has a problem with her sense of smell, so you will plan it, you are a palace maid who is in charge of the queen mother's meal, how can there be light yellow on your hands, you see, the fingernails are all there, this is clearly the color of osmanthus, say, who instructed you?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Changqing's sharp eyes quickly glanced around, and they all stood upright, not daring to look at Li Changqing.

"Me, I accidentally poured the tea on my hand."

"Lies!" Li Changqing immediately vetoed it.

"Even if the tea is poured on your hands, you only need to wash it with soap and then it will be discarded. You die without repentance...... Mama Yu, this is the girl in the Queen Mother's Palace, I have no right to ask again, I'll leave it to you. ”

Li Changqing said and let go of her hand, and Mama Yu immediately grabbed Sichun and tied her aside.

"The emperor gave four horses of cloud brocade, and I asked Gonggong Li to help find out, but the queen's cloud brocade has not moved; Xiao Guifei's Yunjin made clothes, and after going to the priest's room to ask, a total of six feet of cloth is now one foot and two inches left, and Gonggong Li also saw the remaining Yunjin with his own eyes; And Concubine De's Yunjin used three inches to make a handkerchief, but just now Gonggong Li asked the division room, and there were five feet and seven inches left, but what he saw in Concubine De's palace was five feet and four inches, that is, three inches less......"

Li Changqing paused, pointed to the puppet in his hand and said, "The clothes on this puppet are made of cloud brocade. ”

"You mean, Concubine De is the murderer?" Ning Concubine was elated, but she still did not forget to fall into the well.

"Not necessarily." Looking at Concubine Ning's appearance, Li Changqing's eyes deepened.

"I just asked the third prince to help find someone to inquire about me, there are willow trees in the harem, and the result is ......" Ning Concubine said: "As a result, I found that in addition to Concubine De, Queen Niangniang, Xiao Guifei and Ning Concubine's palace, there are willow trees. ”

"So much, it's definitely not me-" Concubine Ning hurriedly defended.

"Yes, there are so many willow trees, Concubine Ning said, what should I do to prove that it's not you?"

"I, I don't know ......."

"The head of this puppet is carved from willow wood, and there are too many willow trees in the entire harem, but looking at the color of the wood, it should be a newly cut willow wood within three days, so I just told the three princes that you must find willow wood with broken branches or knife cuts. As a result, it was found that only one willow tree in Ning Concubine's Palace was cut down and bare, and only the main trunk remained. ”

Concubine Ning looked frightened, shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's not me." ”

"Your Majesty, that's all the courtiers can say."

Yes, what to do next depends on what Xuanyuan Jing means.

After all, a concubine is still from the Dongying Kingdom; A Ning concubine, no matter how much her father becomes an official, it is not easy to deal with.

"Miss Qing, why did you ask the four palace maids around the Queen Mother just now, I was confused." Xuanyuan Jing just glanced at Concubine De and Concubine Ning, who was pale, and instead asked Li Changqing about the four palace maids.

"The poison on the queen mother's body is purple and black, and the poison on the puppet is blue, obviously, this is not the same poison, then, the queen mother is actually not a Gu, but poisoned, or osmanthus poison, but the courtiers don't understand a little, why does the queen mother only appear in the heart, instead of the whole body showing signs of poisoning?"

"What do you mean......"

"I don't mean anything, I'm just suspicious."

"And who is this puppet referring to?" Xuanyuan Jing asked.

"It's very simple, the emperor asks, which one of the people present was born on the eighteenth day of the first month of the ancient calendar?"

As soon as Li Changqing finished speaking, Concubine De covered her chest and fell to the ground softly.

"Quick, Doctor Tai come here." Although Concubine De is now suspected, she has not really been convicted, and Xuanyuan Jing does not want to have a war with Dongying Kingdom because of Concubine De's affairs.

Li Changqing quickly walked up to Concubine De, squatted down, and when she snorted, Concubine De actually had black blood coming out of her mouth, and before she could even say a word, she tilted her head and fell down.

Li Changqing's hand froze, and the breath that was gradually weakening slowly became cold, and in the end, there was no sign of life.

Li Changqing's face was very ugly.

"Concubine De is dead."

watched Concubine De's chest slowly bruise and bleed, dyeing her red in a pink dress.

Immediately stretched out his hand and gently pulled it open, but saw a finger-sized hole appear in his chest at some point.

And the blood stains glowed with an eerie blue light.

"Gonggong Li, what is Concubine De's birthday?"

If you want to become the emperor's concubine, you need to report your birthday, and Concubine De's birthday is recorded.

"Old slave, let's check!"

"The concubine remembers that Concubine De's sister's birthday is the same as that of the Queen Mother, and she was also born on the eighteenth day of the first month of the ancient calendar." Concubine Ning looked at the dead Concubine De, her eyes were full of pride, and she hurriedly said at this time.

Li Changqing stood up abruptly and asked Ning Concubine, "How did Ning Concubine know?" ”

Concubine Ning suddenly finished speaking, and she didn't know how to reply for a while.

"Say!" Xuanyuan Jing looked at Ning Concubine and snorted.

Frightened, Concubine Ning shuddered, and replied in a panic: "The concubine also occasionally listens to Concubine De's mother. ”

"As far as the courtiers know, there are regulations in the palace, in order to prevent the appearance of Gu poison, the eight characters of the hour are related to life, and this kind of birth eight characters and the like cannot be told to outsiders casually, I am afraid that Concubine Ning also knows this regulation."

"No, the concubine doesn't know! Ask the emperor to spare his life. Concubine Ning knelt on the ground as she spoke, Xu because her movements were too violent, and she suddenly fell beside Concubine De, looking at Concubine De's round eyes, empty and godless, but extremely terrifying.

Immediately, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, screaming like crazy.

"Take it for me!" Xuanyuan Jing's eyes were cold, he pinched his eyebrows and twisted them vigorously, and his head began to hurt again.

Concubine Ning was so frightened that she couldn't even speak at this time, so she could only be taken away stupidly.

After resting for a while, Xuanyuan Jing regained his normal color.

Ordered to store Concubine De's body in the ice coffin first, and then decide how to give an explanation to Dongying Kingdom.

Li Changqing calmed down at this time, and for the first time there was arrogance in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have won, please ask the emperor to make an order to make the queen apologize to the courtiers in public." ”
