Xiang Hongxuan sat silently in front of Xue Duyan's bed, Xue Duyan slept quietly on the bed, compared to the hysteria of that night, the current Xue Duyan was even more distressing. The imperial doctor said that Xue Duyan was grief-stricken, crying on a rainy night, hurting his body, and was afraid that he would be sick for a while.

Xiang Hongxuan didn't know how to comfort Xue Duyan, he knew that Xue Duyan cried to death in the rain that night, and he also knew that Xiang Zimo was breathing in Xue Duyan's arms, Xue Duyan's grief, he could empathize, but he couldn't do anything, couldn't save his son's life, and couldn't share some grief for Xue Duyan.

Xiang Hongxuan stretched out a hand and gently stroked Xue Duyan's face, he felt that if he cried bitterly, he could save his son's life, and he was willing to cry a few times. At this moment, his angina was extremely painful, and he didn't know whether he felt sorry for Xue Duyan or himself.

Suddenly, Xue Duyan's eyelids jumped, her white cheeks also moved slightly, and she waved her hand to Hongxuan, and the palace people brought a bowl of hot soup medicine to the bed.

Xue Duyan opened her eyes, she saw Xiang Hongxuan, and in an instant her tears welled up again, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, it's not good to be a concubine, you didn't take good care of the five princes, Your Majesty, the concubine is a sinner." ”

After speaking, Xue Duyan coughed violently a few times, adding a bit of red to her pale face that shouldn't have appeared, Xiang Hongxuan immediately gently patted her back, and said gently: "Xue Meiren, I don't blame you, the fifth prince is still so young, no one would have thought that he would die like this." ”

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the palace people on the side, and the palace people immediately stepped forward, and said to Hongxuan: "Xue Meiren, don't be too sad, you are still sick, drink medicine." ”

The palace man handed the decoction in his hand to Xue Duyan's eyes, but Xue Duyan raised a hand with difficulty and pushed away the palace man's decoction, and she cried again: "Your Majesty, the five princes suddenly became uncomfortable that day, and the concubine hugged the five princes and coaxed him, and he fell asleep in the arms of the concubine, but when he fell asleep, he was gone." Your Majesty, from the birth of the fifth prince to the present, he has never been so uncomfortable that day, and the concubine can't figure it out, how can he fall asleep and fall asleep. ”

Xue Duyan cried miserably, and cried heartbreakingly, Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but hug Xue Duyan into his arms, Xue Duyan kept sobbing in Xiang Hongxuan's arms, and she kept muttering: "How can you fall asleep and fall asleep and it's gone, it's gone." ”

Xiang Hongxuan frowned, the speaker had no intention of listening, Chen Xuan said that Xiang Zimo was a child who died of a storm, would there be another hidden story? Thinking of this, Xiang Hongxuan's eyes showed a little anger and some doubts.

Suddenly, he got up, and after walking a few steps, he shouted loudly: "Come on, pass on Imperial Doctor Chen." ”

Chen Xuan hurried to Yaoguang Pavilion, he had long seen Xiang Hongxuan anxiously swaying in the house, he quickly came to Xiang Hongxuan, and before he had time to salute, Xiang Hongxuan asked eagerly: "Imperial Doctor Chen, you said that the fifth prince died suddenly due to a child's convulsion, but Xue Meiren said that the fifth prince was quietly in her arms, and it was gone when he fell asleep?" This is not right, the child is frightened, how can the five princes have to convulse all over their bodies. ”

Chen Xuan was in a cold sweat, and he said: "Your Majesty, after the ministers arrived at Yaoguang Pavilion that night, the five princes were gone, and they were drenched in the rain for half a night on a rainy night, and Xue Meiren also fainted. ”

Xiang Hongxuan thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there any other possibility?" ”

"Your Majesty, if you can carefully examine the corpses of the five princes, you may be able to reach a conclusion, but in that case, it is possible to be disrespectful to the five princes and damage the corpses of the five princes." Chen Xuan whispered.

Xiang Hongxuan glanced back, Xue Duyan, who was still crying, there was nothing more important now than the truth of his son's death, and he said without thinking: "Check it." ”

Xiang Hongxuan repeatedly picked up and put down the tea cover in his hand, the sound of the tea lid hitting the tea bowl was particularly eye-catching in the silent room, Xiang Hongxuan kept looking out of the house, he was waiting, waiting for the truth of Xiang Zimo's death, and he didn't know what the truth was that he was looking forward to? If Xiang Zimo really died from his killing, then would there be a place for his grief to vent?

Suddenly, Chen Xuan hurriedly trotted into the house, he knelt in front of Xiang Hong Xuande, and said loudly with some nervousness: "Your Majesty, the death of the five princes is really another mystery, the five princes did not die of a child's convulsion, but died of poisoning. As he spoke, he raised a blackened silver needle above his head and presented it to Xiang Hongxuan.

Xiang Hongxuan picked up the silver needle in Chen Xuan's hand with difficulty, he stared at the silver needle for a long time, and roared: "Say, what's going on?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has examined the body of the fifth prince, and has not found poisoning, or other external injuries, the minister is not at ease, because some chronic poisons, as long as the dosage is controlled accurately, poisoning cannot be found until death. So the minister used a long silver needle to insert it into the body of the five princes, the long silver needles can penetrate deep into the bones of the corpse, if the five princes are really poisonous, the silver needle into the bones, you can try it out. Sure enough, the silver needle turned black, and the five princes died of moderate and chronic poisoning. ”

"Chronic poison? That means that the five princes have been poisoned all along? Xiang Hongxuan asked.

"Your Majesty, it is true."

Xiang Hongxuan strode back to Xue Duyan's bed, he looked at Xue Duyan, and asked loudly: "Xue Meiren, what the five princes have eaten and used recently, you have made it clear to me." ”

Xue Duyan also stopped crying, her tearful eyes unconsciously looked at the food box not far away, she covered her heart with one hand, and said with difficulty: "The five princes' recent diet is no different from before, but during this time, Concubine De and Mrs. Zhao often come to Yaoguang Pavilion, Concubine De Niangniang sent a lot of exquisite pastries and soufflés, and Mrs. Zhao sent cheese every day, and the five princes liked to drink it very much. ”

Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, he was still angry just now, as soon as he heard Xiao Xiangxiang's name, he sat on the edge of Xue Duyan's bed, he thought for a while, and said faintly: "Imperial Doctor Chen, go and carefully check the food sent by Concubine De and Mrs. Zhao." ”

After a while, Chen Xuan returned to Xiang Hongxuan, and Xiang Hongxuan asked eagerly, "What is the result?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with Concubine De's pastries and soufflés, but Mrs. Zhao's cheese is poisonous." Chen Xuan replied.

When Xiang Hongxuan heard such a result, he was both relieved and angry, and he said loudly: "Go, bring Mrs. Zhao here." ”

Zhao Xinyue never thought that the death of the fifth prince would be related to her, she looked at Xiang Hongxuan in a panic, she cried more desolate than Xue Duyan, Xue Duyan cried for her son, and Zhao Xinyue cried for herself, if she couldn't make Xiang Hongxuan believe that she was innocent, then she would lose her life.

"Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged, and the concubine did not plot to kill the five princes."

No matter how moving Zhao Xinyue cried, it was a pity that Xiang Hongxuan couldn't listen to a word, he looked at Zhao Xinyue viciously, and roared angrily: "You said you were wronged, why did you detect poison in the cheese you sent?" Tell me, where have you been wronged? ”

Zhao Xinyue was shocked, she really didn't poison and murder Xiang Zimo, who is framing her?

She immediately knelt and crawled to Xiang Hongxuan's feet, she pulled the corner of Xiang Hongxuan's clothes, used all her strength, and begged: "Your Majesty, it's really not a concubine, it's Concubine De, no, it's the queen, Concubine Shu, Xue Meiren, they framed the concubine." ”

Suddenly a burst of anger rose in Xiang Hongxuan's heart, he gave Zhao Xinyue a kick fiercely, and was kicking Zhao Xinyue's heart, Zhao Xinyue fell to the ground in pain, still not forgetting to express his grievances to Xiang Hongxuan.

At this moment, Xiang Hongxuan only felt that Zhao Xinyue's face was hateful, he didn't believe a word of Zhao Xinyue's words, he looked at Zhao Xinyue viciously, and said: "You think that if you pull other people into the water, I will be able to let you go, you poisonous woman, you have come to such a field, and you don't forget to frame others, you are not sorry to die." ”

"Your Majesty, it's really not a concubine, a concubine is wronged." Zhao Xinyue shouted in pain again, she knew that Xiang Hongxuan couldn't listen to her, but this was the only thing she could do for herself.

Xue Duyan's body trembled slightly, Zhao Xinyue's words seemed to have penetrated into her heart, she looked at Zhao Xinyue who was crying to death, was it really not her?

At this time, Xiao Dezi walked into the house quickly, he came to Xiang Hongxuan, took out a cyan porcelain vase from his arms, and presented it to Xiang Hongxuan.

Zhao Xinyue recognized at a glance that this was the poison she poisoned Xiang Minghao, she lowered her head weakly, it was obvious that Xiang Hongxuan sent someone to search Yingyue Pavilion and found her poison, no matter whether it can be proved that she is related to the death of the five princes, if the cause of Xiang Minghao's death is involved, she will die without a place to be buried.

Zhao Xinyue, who was still desperately crying out for grievances just now, suddenly quieted down, and Xiang Hongxuan was keenly aware of Zhao Xinyue's changes, and it seemed that Zhao Xinyue was full of weakness at this moment.

Xiang Hongxuan waved his hand, Chen Xuan came to his side, Xiao Dezi handed the porcelain bottle to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan immediately examined the medicine in the celadon bottle, and said: "Your Majesty, this bottle is the poison in the five princes." ”

Zhao Xinyue raised her head suddenly, she looked at the porcelain vase in Chen Xuan's hand incredulously, this is impossible? She only gave the poison in this porcelain bottle to Xiang Minghao, and it was impossible for it to appear in Xiang Zimo's poisoned food.

Xiang Hongxuan strode angrily in front of Zhao Xinyue, he grabbed Zhao Xinyue's collar and roared: "Poisonous woman, do you dare to say that you are wronged?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is not the case, this is impossible." Zhao Xinyue's mouth was still defending herself, but she didn't dare to make it clear about this celadon vase, except for the suspicion, she was only shocked.

With a snap, Xiang Hongxuan gave Zhao Xinyue a slap with his hand, Zhao Xinyue was thrown out a few steps away, and the corners of her mouth were oozing blood, she didn't care about the pain, and prostrate at Xiang Hongxuan's feet again, begging for mercy.

"Someone, escort Mrs. Zhao back to Yingyue Pavilion and wait for her fate." Xiang Hongxuan said coldly.
