Yifang was wary that Mrs. Shen would attack her, but she was wary for many days, and what she was waiting for was the news of Liu Heng's poisoning. When Wu Ping hurriedly came to Jiaofang Hall to report, Yifang was playing with Zhou Ying with the three children. Liu Qi, Liu Concubine and Ruoqi are still having a lot of fun together.

"You said the emperor was poisoned?" Yifang was also taken aback, last time Liu Heng fell off the horse, this time it was poisoned, she always felt that there was a force in the dark that was holding Liu Heng.

"Yes, the queen mother, the emperor ate the rice cake sent by your palace, and it was poisoned in an instant, and it took a lot of effort for the imperial doctors to save it." Wu Ping looked at Yifang, and he really wanted to say something.

Yifang was suddenly a little confused: "You mean that the rice cake was sent by Jiaofang Palace?" ”

"Why would the mother ask that?" Wu Ping also sensed that something was wrong.

Yifang turned around and glanced at Teng Ling: "This palace has never asked anyone to send any rice cakes to the emperor today!" ”

Wu Ping remembered that when Liu Heng took the food box from the little palace maid, he was still beaming with joy, saying that the queen finally opened her mind, but she didn't expect to fall down after eating two bites.

"This is a slave who can't be the master, you better go to the emperor and say it!"

"Okay, this palace will go with you this time."

When they arrived at Weiyang Palace, the imperial doctors were still guarding the side hall, discussing and giving a plan. Looking at their appearance, it seems that the poison is not light.

"Ministers, see the queen." When the imperial doctors saw Yifang coming, they saluted before getting up to reply.

"What's going on over there with the emperor?"

"Back to the queen, the emperor has a poison that can be instantly killed, if you take a certain dose, you will be poisoned and killed immediately." Seeing that Yifang's face was condensed, the imperial doctors hurriedly explained, "But the queen doesn't have to worry, fortunately, the emperor only ate two rice cakes, which are far from lethal." ”

"Have you checked the pastries?"

"It's all tested, all the pastries are mixed with poison, but only when you eat all those pastries will you reach the amount of poison death."

When Yifang heard this, he frowned. This is strange, if the person who poisoned him really wanted to harm Liu Heng, he would definitely not only use such a amount of poison. It is almost impossible to eat a whole plate of pastries before you die of poison, and the small kitchen has always prepared enough pastries to eat them all at once.

"How is the emperor now?" Yifang finally asked.

"We have prepared some medicine for the emperor, and after drinking it, I have already woken up. The emperor's poisoning was relatively mild, and his consciousness was not completely lost. ”

"You continue to wait here, and go in the palace to see the emperor."

When Yifang entered the door, Mrs. Shen, who had not seen her for a long time, had already sat on the edge of Liu Heng's bed early. At this time, the two were talking, Liu Heng did look very weak, and Mrs. Shen also looked worried.

"The concubines see the emperor." Yifang bowed far away.

Mrs. Shen also stood up and saluted her, looking very well-behaved, as if after a month of confinement, she really became self-contained. But Yifang knew that this was just an appearance, and secretly didn't know what he was planning!

"You still know how to come? Are you here to see if I'm still alive or dead? Liu Heng's face was full of anger when he saw Yifang, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.

"The emperor is too worried, the concubine knows that Mrs. Shen will accompany the emperor well, she didn't want to come over, but as the queen's duty, the emperor has an accident, and he still has to be there." Yifang has been talking to Liu Heng very boldly recently, firstly, to put life and death out of the way, and secondly, to convince Mrs. Shen that she is not compatible with Liu Heng, so that she can show her fox tail earlier.

Liu Heng was really angry with these words: "Since this is the case, then you go back, I don't need you to come." ”

"No, the concubine is retired." Yifang answered, and actually walked towards the door.

"Queen Mother, please stay." It was Mrs. Shen who opened her mouth, and she walked in front of Yifang in a few steps, "Queen Mother, the rice cake that the emperor ate today is said to have been sent from the Queen Mother's Jiaofang Palace. The palace maid who delivered the pastries is still here, so it is better for the queen to confront her first, so as not to be rumored that the queen wants to harm the emperor! ”

"Okay, that's what you want." Yi Fang turned around and landed on the chair next to him, waiting for someone to bring the little palace maid over.

As soon as Yifang saw the little palace maid, he felt that he had fallen into someone else's trap again. This palace maid is indeed from Jiaofang Palace, and Yifang has seen her several times, but she was bribed at some point, and she was charged with such a big crime.

"Your name is Lime, right?" Mrs. Shen asked at the timid little palace maid.

Lime nodded: "Slave Lime see the emperor, see the queen's mother, Mrs. Shen." ”

"Tell me about it."

Lime's eyes swirled around the room before she said cautiously: "Yes, it was the queen mother who asked the slave maid to bring the freshly made rice cakes from the small kitchen to the emperor to taste this morning." ”

"Really? When did Hongu tell you to do this? Yifang was still a little cold, she was confident that the palace people under her hands were good, but she didn't expect someone to betray her easily.

"It is indeed the queen mother who ordered the slave maid, and the slave maid dare not talk nonsense." Lime didn't look at Yifang, but just stared at Mrs. Shen.

Liu Heng also saw this in his eyes, and immediately understood most of it in his heart, but he would not say a word for Yifang.

"Then what do you mean is that on the way to deliver the pastries to Weiyang Palace, you secretly poisoned them in order to poison the emperor?" Yifang has always had clear rewards and punishments, and since she betrayed her first, she doesn't have to show any mercy.

Lime was frightened by this, and quickly kowtowed: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and maid just sent pastries to the emperor according to the queen's instructions, and did not do anything else." ”

"Then on the way to deliver the pastries, did you meet anyone?" Mrs. Shen pretended to redress Yifang's grievances, so she deliberately asked such a question.

"No, the slave didn't stop all the way."

"Then Hongu came to ask you, when and where did Hongu order you to send those pastries? Is it in the courtyard in the morning, or in the side hall at breakfast? ”

This time the lime was stunned, she bit her lip and thought carefully: "Yes, it was in the side hall during breakfast." ”

"Since you were instructed by Hongu at breakfast, do you remember what Hongu used for breakfast?" Yifang listened to her answer, and his heart was already victorious, and he didn't even have a trace of panic.

"This ...... The slave only vaguely remembered that the queen seemed to use a three-yellow chicken, and the others didn't pay attention to it. ”

As soon as Lime's voice fell, Teng Ling beside him said coldly: "The queen usually treats you well, but you are also so hungry, who instructed you to frame the queen mother, hurry up and recruit from the truth!" ”

"The slave doesn't, the slave doesn't, everything the slave says is the truth."

"Niangniang's breakfast wants to eat three yellow chickens I mentioned in the small kitchen, you happened to be there at that time, but in fact, today's breakfast has not been presented, Niangniang is in a hurry to talk to General Zhou's sister Miss Ying, and she has never had breakfast until now, when have you seen it?"

This fact came so suddenly that Lime couldn't answer all of a sudden. She only thought that Tengling had said in the small kitchen that Yifang wanted to eat three yellow chickens, which was really the case, but she didn't expect such a change.

Subsequently, the eunuchs outside also came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Zhou Ying took her daughter to ask to see her outside the palace." ”

"Let them in." Liu Heng waved his hand, as soon as these two people came, they could just prove Yifang's innocence.

"Your Majesty, the queen has been staying with our mother and daughter since she got up this morning, and she has never left for a moment, and it is impossible to order someone to bring pastries to the emperor this morning." Zhou Ying also proved for Yifang.

And Wei Ruoqi also immediately spoke: "The folk girl can also prove that the queen mother has always played with the folk girl, never left, and has not whispered to the palace maids and sisters around her." ”

"Since this is the case, then this poison will not be caused by the queen." Liu Heng finally came to this conclusion, and he turned his head to look at Mrs. Shen who was sitting on the side, "Since the poison was not ordered by the queen, then who would have done it?" ”

Mrs. Shen was very weak-hearted, so she quickly turned her gaze to the lime who was kneeling on the ground: "You cheap maid, you dare to frame the queen mother!" Tell me quickly, do you want to murder the emperor, did you give this poison? ”

Lime just wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but Mrs. Shen hurriedly said: "You can think about this before answering, murdering the emperor is a great crime, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your family." ”

When Lime heard this, her face was very embarrassed, and she gritted her teeth for a long time before she gritted her teeth and replied: "Yes, it is the slave's fault, and it is the slave's maid's poison to the emperor." ”

"You did it?" Liu Heng looked at her with a smile, "What kind of hatred do you have with me, and you want to use this method to put me to death?" ”

"Slave, slave, slave ......" Lime struggled for a long time and couldn't find a reason.

She seemed to think for a long time before she caught a glimpse of the incense burner next to her. She bit her lower lip tightly and seemed to be making a difficult decision. After a few moments, she finally stood up and slammed into the censer.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and when Wu Ping reacted and stepped forward to check, a large piece of red had already appeared on Lime's forehead, and she actually died here.

Now there is no proof of death, and there are no other clues to speak of this matter, even if you want to investigate, you can't continue to investigate. Such a major event came to an end because of the generosity of this little palace maid.

Liu Heng did not follow the rules of her Nine Clans, and he knew that this matter was not done by Lime. Now that she is dead, she should no longer implicate her family because of someone else's conspiracy.
