Xia Qing found evidence in Sude Palace according to An Xiaoxiao's instructions, and planned to return to Qifeng Palace immediately, but who knew that he heard a noise in the front hall of Sude Palace. Driven by curiosity, she jumped to the roof of the antechamber to watch the excitement.

As soon as he jumped up and landed on the eaves, he was caught by the Praetorian Guards, who had already been lying in ambush here. Xia Qing raised his eyes and saw that there were two guards on this roof, and there were also people guarding the other roofs.

The Praetorian Guard warrior who had grabbed her immediately bowed respectfully to her and let her go as soon as he saw her clearly.

"You—you're not going to arrest me?"

"The emperor has ordered that as long as you don't leave the palace area, Concubine Shu Niangniang and Xia Qing County Lord can walk freely."

Xia Qing was taken aback, and then she realized that she was able to jump up and down in the palace many times, not because she was strong in martial arts, but because others didn't care about her at all. She originally thought that if she couldn't fulfill the agreement with Baili Renault after three months, she would forcibly take An Xiaoxiao away. Now it seems that this idea is really silly and naïve.

But since it's up, the excitement still has to be seen. She crouched down, lifted a roof tile, and looked down.

In the hall, Baili Renault was sitting on it, staring coldly at the concubines below.

The more he didn't speak, the more terrifying he became, speculating about what was happening.

After a long time, Jian Yaochi finally couldn't hold it back, and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you summon our group of sisters here, but what important things were announced?" ”

Baili Renault looked at Jian Yaochi with cold eyes, and said word by word in a very slow tone: "Concubine Shu was poisoned while drinking tea in Sude Palace. ”

His eyes were cold and sharp, revealing the meaning of scrutiny, Jian Yaochi felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was shivering with cold. She used all her strength to finally find her voice: "The emperor suspects the concubine? ”

Baili Renault's eyes swept over her, resting on the group of concubines with different faces behind her.

"I give you a chance, whoever does it now comes out and admits it, and the disaster will not affect the family. Otherwise......" he said with a cold snort that meant to omit.

Naturally, no one admitted it, and after everyone glanced at each other, they all looked at Jian Yaochi. There was a dead silence in the hall.

Jian Yaochi was the first person to speak, even in a suspicious gaze, she still maintained an elegant posture, Ying Ying bowed, and said, "Can the emperor tell me what poison Concubine An Shu has been poisoned?" Is it life-threatening now? ”

Baili Renault said: "Laxative, the imperial doctor has prepared an antidote prescription." ”

Jian Yaochi asked again: "How did the emperor know that Concubine An Shu was poisoned in the Sude Palace of the concubine?" ”

Baili Renault looked at her and said lightly: "After she ate with me in breakfast, she only drank a cup of tea here. ”

Jian Yaochi's face remained unchanged: "In this way, the concubine seems to be the most suspicious." But—" She paused, and looked up at Baili Renault without fear, "The concubine has no motive to poison her. ”

Poisoning in the harem, the most important thing is to be smart, if she wants to do this risky trick, where will she use laxatives, which are indiscriminate poisons, and she can't eat the dead and is easy to be discovered.

Jian Yaochi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, who was so bold and vainly trying to frame her?

Baili Renault nodded: "You really have no motive. ”

In order to restore Mu Yige's identity, he agreed to the conditions of the Jian family, promoted Jian Yaochi to a concubine, and stayed in her bedroom overnight. Now is the time when the Jian family is proud, how could she be stupid enough to deal with An Xiaoxiao at this time.

The emperor actually ruled out the suspicion of Concubine Jian? The concubines in the hall couldn't help but be jealous and jealous, and at the same time they all had a trace of worry about their situation. The biggest suspects are gone, shouldn't they be wronged?

Jian Yaochi was overjoyed and said, "Emperor Xie believes in his concubines. ”

Baili Renault made a gesture, let her get up, and then said to everyone: "I have already given me a chance, since you don't cherish it, then I am not welcome." Di Yong—"

At the sound of an order, Di Yong walked out of the door.

"How's the investigation?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has asked the palace maid who made tea for Concubine An Shu today, and she said that the tea of all the nobles is brewed uniformly, and only the palace maid who serves tea has the opportunity to poison ......"

Before Di Yong's voice fell, a palace maid in the hall knelt down in a panic: "The emperor spares his life, and the slave and maid are wronged!" ”

She is the one who served tea to An Xiaoxiao, and at this moment she was so frightened that the three souls disappeared.

Baili Renault didn't say a word, just looked at her coldly and kowtowed like garlic.

She couldn't get a response, so she had to crawl to the foot of Jian Yaochi on her knees, hugged her legs and cried and begged: "Niangniang, help, Leng Cui hasn't done it, beg Niangniang to be the master of the slave." ”

Jian Yaochi sighed heavily, and said softly: "This palace believes that this matter is not done by you alone, and there must be someone behind it." As long as you confess that person, the palace will intercede with the emperor to save you from a capital crime. ”

Leng Cui looked at the graceful and luxurious woman in front of her in surprise and despair, since Jian Yaochi entered the palace, she has been carefully assisting her, thinking about her, and rushing for her, but she didn't expect that when something happened, she didn't even care about the slightest affection. It's really cold-blooded.

Seeing that there was no hope for help, the only way to save myself was to save myself. She desperately remembered the scene of the morning, and finally reminded her of something.

"The emperor is graceful, when the slave maid was serving tea, he met the palace maid Zhao'er beside Xie Zhaoyi outside the hall. She also specially asked the slave maid if this tea was served to the lady who was late. When the slave and maid were chatting with her, a gust of wind blew, and when the wind and sand entered the eyes, the slave and maid briefly put the tea cup on the ground and rubbed her eyes. Zhao'er must have taken advantage of that time to be drugged. ”

Xie Zhaoyi was also in the hall, and she hurriedly scolded: "You are a cheap maid, you dare to frame this palace? ”

Baili Renault silently glanced at Xie Zhaoyi. Her grandfather was a household secretary, and he was an old courtier like Jian Hugong, and he was also one of Jian Hugong's supporters. The two have been in cahoots for many years, and he has never been able to find a breakthrough to separate them. I didn't expect to have such a big harvest today!

"Whether it's a false accusation or not, let the two confront each other before they know!" Baili Renault spoke: "Chuan Zhao'er." ”

He ordered that all the people who had come to Sude Palace in the morning be summoned, and Zhao'er should be among them. Who knows, left and right, but there is no one to see.

At first, there were some whispers: Could it be that he was absconding with a crime?

Of course, Xie Zhaoyi heard the noise around her, and her face became paler.

After a few more moments, two Praetorian Guards carried an unconscious maid into the hall.

"Zhao'er ——?" Xie Zhaoyi looked at the unconscious man on the ground in surprise.

Zhao'er heard the cry and slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as Leng Cui saw her wake up, she couldn't care about the rules anymore, so she pounced, pulled her sleeve and asked, "Zhao'er, is it your poison?" ”

Zhao'er was still vague, but suddenly saw Leng Cui's distorted face, and suddenly messed up, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "It's not a slave, how dare a slave dare to poison Concubine An." ”

Di Yong snorted coldly when he heard this, his eyes were like torches: "How do you know that Concubine An has been poisoned?" ”

The emperor had already ordered the news to be blocked, and Zhao'er was carried in by the Praetorian Guards in a coma, so he shouldn't know what happened to Lu Dao. How did she learn that Concubine An Shu was poisoned from Leng Cui's short question?

Zhao'er hated to bite off her tongue, she couldn't speak, so she had to raise her eyes anxiously to look at Xie Zhaoyi.

Xie Zhaoyi secretly scolded "stupid" in her heart, and bowed to Baili Renault: "The emperor has gathered the sisters here in such a big battle, but only the lady concubine is missing, Zhao'er has always been smart and icy, I'm afraid I guessed some clues." ”

Zhao'er nodded hurriedly and answered: "That's right, it was the slave who guessed it." ”

Although this statement is reluctant, it really cannot be used as a clue to judge the case just by the few words in her mouth.

Baili Reno opened his mouth and asked the two Praetorian Guards who carried her in, "What's going on?" ”

One of the Praetorian Guards replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the ministers found that this woman had fainted in the garbage room of the Sude Palace, so they brought her over. ”

"Oh?" Baili Renault pointed at Zhao'er and asked, "How did you faint?" And why is it in the garbage room? ”

Zhao'er was much clearer, so she immediately replied: "The slave and maid just passed by the garbage room, and who knew that the thief knocked the slave and maid unconscious." It's just that the thief shot too quickly, and the slave didn't see his appearance clearly. ”

How could Baili Renault be fooled, and continued to ask: "Pass?" The garbage room is built in the most remote part of every palace, how can you possibly pass by there? ”

Zhao'er was speechless again, unable to answer, and sweating profusely. Xie Zhaoyi's face was also very ugly.

When the atmosphere fell into a stalemate, a hearty female voice came from outside the hall: "I know why Zhao'er appeared in the garbage room!" ”

A beautiful woman in Tsing Yi appeared in the hall. Everyone saw that this woman had a peerless appearance, and as soon as she appeared, all the concubines present were discolored, and they couldn't help but raise their guard.

"Xia Qing has seen the emperor!" Xia Qing bowed to Baili Renault in a standard kneeling position.

"Get up!" Baili Renault made a gesture of please: "What happened to Xia Qing County's Lord Zhilu Dao?" ”

Xia Qing smiled: "Of course I know it, because-" She deliberately dragged it out before saying, "I'm the one who knocked her out." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was immediately a gasping sound. Xia Qing was calm and comfortable, still smiling widely.

Baili Renault knew that Xia Qing's actions were most likely instructed by An Xiaoxiao, and maybe he had already found evidence. He continued, "Why did you knock her out?" ”

Xia Qing pointed to Zhao'er, who was kneeling on the ground, and replied: "She is destroying the evidence of poisoning, and the county lord is in a hurry, so he has to stop her." ”

"What incriminating evidence? You tell everything from start to finish. ”

When the lady realized that she had been poisoned, she remembered that she had broken the poisoned teacup by mistake, so she ordered the lord of the county to come and inspect it. Who knows, the county lord met this little palace maid in the garbage room, and was about to collect the teacup fragments and take them away. The county lord stopped her in time. ”

After Xia Qing finished speaking, he threw the things in his hand on the ground, which were a few pieces of the tea cup.

Baili Renault took a deep look at the debris on the ground. An Xiaoxiao didn't break it by mistake, but deliberately, she should have laid this game as early as when she noticed that the tea was poisonous. Because if the tea cup was not broken, it would have been cleaned long ago, and there would be no evidence. Now that it is broken, it can only be disposed of in the garbage room. And the poisoner must be worried about the residual evidence, and will try to dispose of the tea cup fragments.

Thinking so, he unconsciously curled the corners of his lips and began a gentle smile. The woman he fancied was really witty.

The moment Zhao'er saw the fragments, her face was like ashes, and she kowtowed desperately: "The emperor spares his life, and the emperor spares his life." ”

Xie Zhaoyi's figure shook, but she didn't expect her carefully laid out bureau to be seen through at once. It's hateful, with the weight of those laxatives, An Xiaoxiao shouldn't have reacted so quickly. Could it be that God is going to kill her?

This is really her misunderstanding of God and herself. Her plan is really not "elaborate", okay?
