Qingxi also followed everyone to the door of the main hall and saw Xiao Yizheng striding towards him in a dark clothes. Her eyes were slightly focused, and she knew at a glance that he had lost a lot of weight, and his body was full of wind and dust, but he was in good spirits. The sky outside the window was blue, but he seemed to be coming out of the twilight with a touch of brightness.

"Your Highness is back!" Moon Shadow shouted, a sudden confident excitement that she couldn't hide.

Xiao Yizheng strode in front of Qingxi, looked at her deeply, his expression was deep, and then he turned around and saluted everyone, and said lightly: "I don't know who suspects me Hengwang Mansion?" ”

He has been lenient and polite since he was a child, and he has often traveled abroad over the years, and every time he comes back, he is a little more chic and casual, so when everyone heard his cold and disdissatisfied tone at first glance, they were all slightly shocked, and no one answered for a while.

Shen Tong's faint moaning sound was faintly heard in the apse, and Qingxi bit her lip anxiously, hoping that the imperial doctor could get her out of danger as soon as possible, and she didn't care about what Concubine Nian had just said. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Yizheng's back, standing tall and majestic in front of her, and she was not afraid of anyone's slander.

"The crown princess had just finished dinner and was unwell. The imperial doctor has just said that the crown princess has signs of poisoning. Everyone can see clearly, Princess Heng and the crown princess are inseparable today. In this full house, I'm afraid that only Princess Heng has this opportunity to poison, right? Concubine Nian's cold words sounded slowly.

Xiao Yizheng glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Miss Concubine Niangniang, be cautious when you speak." One word heaven, one word hell, but you have to think about it. ”

"Is this a threat, Your Highness King Heng?" Concubine Nian's face did not change, and she was calm: "This is to rely on the favor of the saint, and even the affairs of the harem have to be interfered in?" ”

The rest of the people in the hall looked at Concubine Nian puzzled, and said in their hearts that she had always been silent, withdrawn and arrogant, why did she jump out and be aggressive today?

"You're slandering my princess now, is it wrong for me to take care of it?" Xiao Yizheng raised his eyebrows and continued: "Poisoning, poisoning the crown princess, poisoning the emperor and grandson, how can such a crime come with just your mouth open and say it casually?" Do you have a certificate? Is there any physical evidence? Just based on your random speculation, you want to interrogate me as a person from the Hengwang Mansion? He glanced at everyone in the hall and said in an accentuated tone, "Delusional." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the female officials in the palace: "Go in and tell the imperial doctor that you must protect the peace." ”

The female officer nodded like pounding garlic, and her heart finally came to a person who was in charge.

Xiao Yizheng instructed Zhao Xin, who was standing not far away: "Go find someone to find out who are the maids who entered and left the queen's palace today, and what exactly they did." Then he pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Take them all for inspection." ”

Zhao Xin received the order and immediately set about arranging.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Concubine Nian's lips, but she didn't speak again.

"How's the crown princess?" His Royal Highness heard the Emperor's calm voice. Immediately afterwards, he and the queen boasted into the palace.

The crowd saluted. In the apse, a physician came out in a hurry, sweating profusely: "The crown princess has signs of miscarriage and is currently being treated with all her might." The cause of the crown princess's physical discomfort may be that she has ingested some kind of food by mistake or maybe it is a drug, and it should be taken for a short time, and it will take time to confirm what it is. ”

Xiao Zhe waved his hand: "Be sure to ensure the safety of the crown princess and the fetus in her womb." ”

"Do your best." After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he immediately turned around and went to the apse to be busy.

The queen followed the imperial doctor to the apse to check the situation with a confused face.

When the imperial doctor replied, Qingxi kept staring at him, not missing any of his expressions. When he heard that the imperial doctor did not say that Shen Tong was worried about his life, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Moon Shadow held her hand tightly, feeling damp sweat oozing from her cold palms.

After Xiao Yizheng finished saluting the emperor and empress, he turned around slightly to look at Qingxi, saw that she looked worried, frowned between her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "I am here." ”

Qingxi raised her eyes to look at him, the corners of her mouth moved, wanting to say that she was not worried about being investigated, but she still didn't say anything, just nodded.

After Xiao Zhe sat down, he said solemnly: "I'm afraid everyone can't sleep well today, so let's spend it here." If it is found that this matter is man-made, no matter who it is, I will not tolerate it. He looked at everyone's faces one by one, and finally fell on Concubine Nian. Concubine Nian, Xiao Qi is coming to dine with you today? ”

Everyone was puzzled, why did the emperor suddenly mention Xiao Yiran, the seventh prince who was only eight years old.

Concubine Nian's face was stunned, and she lowered her head and replied: "He has more homework today, so the concubine didn't let him come." ”

Xiao Zhe sighed, his voice went up, and his attitude was strange. But he didn't ask too much, but began to ask the crowd about the supper time.

Everyone began to explain the situation of the whole night, and also supplemented each other so as not to miss any details, Xiao Zhe nodded as he listened.

Xiao Yizheng also listened carefully to everyone's words. During the whole process, only Qingxi stood by his side and didn't say a word.

Zhao Xin walked in quickly and saluted: "Your Majesty, all the meals for today's dinner have been tested, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Xiao Zhe frowned: "What is the tea that the crown princess is drinking?" ”

"It's also non-toxic."

There was silence in the hall for a while.

"Is it also inappropriate for the people of Hengwang's Mansion to organize inspections?" Concubine Nian opened her mouth slowly.

Everyone looked at her again, wondering why she was approaching the palace step by step.

"Zhao Xin, send the princess's food to the imperial doctor for re-examination." Xiao Yizheng said coldly.

Zhao Xin immediately ordered the chamberlain to send the inquest into the apse.

At this time, Qingxi stepped forward with her skirt, Xiao Yizheng wanted to reach out and grab her, but she didn't get faster than her start.

She stood in the middle of the main hall and said without humility or arrogance: "Father, Concubine Nian Niangniang has always regarded her courtiers as suspects. Yes, the Crown Princess and I are close friends. Not only today, but also the Queen Mother summoned me in the past, and I walked with her. My friendship with the crown princess did not happen overnight. I will never harm the crown princess. Of course, I also know that everything needs evidence, and it is not enough to explain it in a few words. The matter is being verified, and I will first state that my daughter-in-law is willing to accept all investigations and can confront anyone. ”

Xiao Yizheng sighed, walked to her side, and stood with her to face the emperor, but didn't say anything.

Qingxi looked at him slightly, and read the displeasure in his eyes. Strange, what is there for him to be angry about? If he doesn't stand up, if he doesn't completely clear up the relationship, it will affect the Hengwang Mansion, and it will hurt the relationship between him and the prince. Or was he angry that he had caused him so much trouble?

Xiao Zhe looked at them calmly and said slowly: "The matter has not yet been decided, so where is the suspect?" Rokuro, hurry back quickly, you're tired, sit down and rest first. Sit down too. ”

So, everyone sat down one by one.

Xiao Yizheng looked at Qingxi beside him, and saw that her face was slightly bloody, but the silk handkerchief in her hand was still clenched tightly, and he didn't think much about it, he reached out and took her hand and took her to the side to sit down.

Qingxi only felt a warmth in her hands, and she also followed the steps under her feet. It wasn't until she sat next to him that she realized her hand was wrapped in his palm.

She moved slightly, wanting to withdraw her hand, but Xiao Yizheng held it tighter: "Why is it so cold." He said.

Qingxi tilted his head slightly, the roots of his ears were red, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw the imperial doctor hurriedly walking out: "Your Majesty, the situation of the crown princess has stabilized, and the fetus in her womb has been saved for the time being." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall seemed to hear the sound of their hearts settled, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

Especially Qingxi, hearing this, she subconsciously looked back at Xiao Yizheng and smiled.

Xiao Yizheng felt that the hand he held in his hand was a little warmer.

"In addition, the princess's food, the ministers and others inspected it again, and it was not poisonous. It's just that purple sweet is added to a dish, which is non-toxic and often used in dishes, but it's a little cold. The Imperial Doctor's words continued.

"So it's just because you've eaten something cold?" Xiao Zhe couldn't wait to ask.

Rong Chen finished. The Imperial Doctor paused, stared at the ground in front of him without squinting, and continued, "Even if Zigan is cold, it won't cause such discomfort. Unless ......" he paused and said in a low voice: "Unless the purple sweet and red silk grass are mixed together, the two things intersect and produce toxicity, which can make the woman slip the fetus." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, their expressions that had just stretched suddenly became nervous again.

Xiao Zhe frowned deeply, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you find red silk grass in the meal?" ”

The Imperial Physician shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the red silk grass itself is not poisonous, but people will not use it in dishes." Red silk grass has a light fragrance and will be used to make incense. ”

"Spices? Is there anything in the palace? Xiao Zhe asked again.

The imperial physician shook his head again: "As far as the minister knows, this incense will not be used in the palace, because its fragrance is not pure. Don't say that in the palace, the people's homes in Shangdu City with a little family background will not use this incense. However, the crown princess's clothes have this scent on them. ”

Xiao Zhe leaned forward and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The imperial doctor bowed: "The red silk grass also has an effect, it can stop bleeding." The ministers have just confirmed it repeatedly. The fragrance on the crown princess's coat comes from red silk grass. ”

As soon as the imperial doctor's words fell, Concubine Nian looked at Qingxi and said, "The crown princess herself will never use this incense." But she is always with Princess Heng, I don't know if Princess Heng brought it? ”

Before Xiao Yizheng could speak, the other ladies couldn't stand it, and said gossipsily: "Why does Concubine Nian always have trouble with Princess Heng." In our palace, whoever does not have incense on him, even if he says that he is a concubine, he will check it carefully. ”

Concubine Nian smiled and said lightly: "Then let's check." ”

Qingxi lowered his eyebrows and thought deeply, and when he raised his eyes again, he looked at Xiao Yizheng meaningfully, his eyes full of worry.

Xiao Yizheng's originally serious eyes softened when they collided with her eyes. He held her hand tighter and nodded slightly, as if he was very sure of it, reassuring her.
