When Lord Wang's words fell, the little palace maid knelt directly on the ground and trembled, unable to say a word, just kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged......"

At this moment, Xiao Yinzi came to the hall with a pot of flowers on the other side, and saw that one of the flowers on the other side of this pot had been broken a little and was tilted to the side.

The emperor was a little irritable in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Shut up! I haven't asked you yet, what are you shouting about wrongdoing? ”

After the words fell, the hall was quiet, and the ministers couldn't react, after all, this was the first time to see the emperor so angry, and the little palace maid kneeling on the ground was even more shrunk and couldn't speak.

The emperor continued to ask: "Xiao Yinzi, which palace is this flower from?" ”

Xiao Yinzi glanced at the emperor, was a little embarrassed, and bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, this is ...... It's ......"

"What is it, hurry up!" Fu Beixing said impatiently.

"It's from the Queen's Palace." Xiao Yinzi replied stubbornly.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were a little surprised, things came to this point that Fu Beixing did not expect. But this matter involves the queen, so it is not good to interrogate it so widely, Fu Beixing pinched his eyebrows with a headache, and muttered: "One or two don't let me worry, why is it so difficult to have a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet!" ”

Looking at the emperor, Hua Shenyue wanted to laugh out loud very unkindly, but looking at Fu Qinglian, who had been paying attention to herself, she shook her head slightly, and she could only hold back.

The emperor took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "It's now, it's not too early, everyone is gone, let's rest, Xiaoyinzi, you go and invite the queen over." ”

"Brother Lian, you and the flower doctor wait, and the protector also waits, and the rest of the people disperse."

After getting the emperor's words, everyone directly said goodbye, after all, there are some things that you don't want to know.

And Su Yu and Su Yuan didn't live up to the casualness they had just now in their hearts at this time, and looked at each other with some surprise, they didn't expect to be discovered so soon.

Su Yu was a little panicked, and he was afraid that his efforts to return to the court would be burned because of this matter.

He looked at Su Yuan and saw Su Yuan shaking his head at him, indicating that there was no problem.

Xiao Yinzi hurriedly walked towards the queen's palace.

When he arrived at the queen's palace, he said to the queen: "The queen, Your Majesty is invited?" ”

The queen was surprised in her heart and said, "The palace is still grounded. ”

Xiao Yinzi bowed down and said: "It is Your Majesty's will to be grounded, and now Your Majesty has something to summon, so ......"

Hearing this, the queen glanced at Jiang Nan who was standing behind her, and when she saw that he nodded at her undetectably, she got up, stroked Jiang Nan's hand and followed Xiao Yinzi to meet the emperor.

Along the way, the queen asked, "What did Your Majesty say?" Or is there something that happened at the palace banquet, and you are moving flowers and summoning again? But because my florist didn't take care of it, I accidentally broke the rhizome of the dragon claw flower? ”

Xiao Yinzi looked at the queen with a puzzled face, and wondered in her heart, did the queen really not know at all? After all, looking at the queen's mother's appearance doesn't look like a fake, but thinking about the emperor's mood today, Xiao Yinzi just said: "The mother will know when she goes." ”

The queen mother couldn't help but go with Xiao Yinzi to meet the emperor with a stomach full of questions.

When she came to the hall, the queen found that the palace banquet had ended, leaving only a palace maid kneeling on the ground and trembling, and her grandfather, father and son sitting on the seat, and King Jing with her, but it was not who the elegant woman who followed King Jing was.

After getting to know the people in the hall in general, the queen mother had even more doubts in her heart, she suppressed the question in her heart, and saluted and said: "See Your Majesty, but I don't know what Your Majesty has to summon your concubines?" ”

Fu Beixing waved his hand, motioned for the queen to get up, and said, "The queen, please sit down." I have a few questions that I hope the Queen will answer for me. ”

"Your Majesty, you say." Empress Su sat down at the emperor's hand and said respectfully.

"Do you know the little palace maid kneeling below?" The Emperor asked.

"Little palace maid?" Empress Su asked, following the emperor's hand and seeing the little palace maid kneeling in the hall.

"You raise your head and let Hongu take a look." Empress Su said to the palace maid.

When the little palace maid heard this, she trembled and raised her head.

When the queen saw the face of this little palace maid, she turned to Jiang Nan and said, "Gonggong Jiang, in my impression, there should be no such person in our palace." ”

After asking, he also looked at the emperor and explained: "I looked at this palace maid, I have never seen it, I think it is not from my palace, but there are many people in the palace, and I can't be sure, so ask my father-in-law who is in charge here." ”

Fu Beixing nodded in understanding.

Jiang Nan heard the words of the queen mother, stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Back to the queen, this person is not from our palace, the slave decides." ”

"Have you ever seen this person in the palace?" The queen continued.

Jiang Nan thought for a while and replied: "It's a little impressive, it seems that I've been to our palace a few times and sent flowers, but I really can't remember the specific minions." ”

The queen nodded to indicate that she knew, and turned around to tell the emperor, but before she could speak, she heard the emperor say: "I heard it, the queen doesn't need to reply." ”

Then, the emperor asked, "Which palace are you in, and what are you responsible for?" Lord Liu's poisoning has something to do with you? ”

Hearing the emperor's question, the little palace maid was frightened in her heart, and kowtowed vigorously: "The slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't know anything, please forgive Your Majesty, ask Your Majesty for forgiveness......"

The emperor looked at the little palace maid who had been repeating this sentence, and was very irritable, and said, "Little Yinzi! ”

Xiao Yinzi said to the palace maid: "You are not so panicked, answer our family's questions well, otherwise no one will be able to protect you." ”

Then Xiao Yinzi asked, "In which palace are you on an errand?" Responsible for what? ”

The little palace maid shrank back: "The slave maid is from the flower room, and she is responsible for sending flowers to the ladies in each palace. Today, because there are not enough people at the banquet in the palace, I was temporarily transferred to help. ”

"Flower room?" Fu Beixing muttered to himself;

Xiao Yinzi then asked, "Then do you know that this dragon claw flower is poisonous?" Usually in the flower room, are you taking care of this flower? ”

Hearing this, the little palace maid prostrate on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, but repeated: "The slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't know anything......"

Hearing this, the emperor was very impatient, but at this moment, the little palace maid suddenly curled up, in pain, and walked forward quickly, saying as she walked: "Not good! She took poison. ”

It's just that before Hua Shenyue walked to her side, the person had already lost his breath.

Hua Shenyue squatted beside the little palace maid, probed her snort, and took her pulse, and then shook her head at Fu Qinglian.

The Emperor stood up and said, "Does the Flower Doctor know what kind of poison she has?" ”

Hua Shenyue said in a low voice: "The other side of the flower, it should be that she only put the juice of the little trick in Lord Liu's wine glass, and drank the rest by herself when she knelt on the ground just now, while everyone was not paying attention." ”

As she spoke, Hua Shenyue took out a small glass bottle in the hands of the palace maid, raised it and sniffed it, and said, "This is exactly it." ”

Xiao Yinzi looked at this sudden situation, a little dumbfounded, and said: "The emperor's servant just sent someone to investigate the background of this little palace maid, and found that she was an orphan. ”

Hearing this, Fu Beixing was powerless to support his forehead, it seems that this is another unsolved case, and the person is dead. The trail is also broken.

Things have developed so far, Fu Qinglian knows that there will be no other progress for the time being, and the two of them have been in the palace for a long time, so he got up with Hua Shenyue and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since the matter has come to this, the emperor should appease Lord Liu first, after all, Lord Liu is the victim, and let the rest go for the time being." ”

Although he was unwilling in his heart, the emperor also knew that there was no better way at this moment, so he nodded and said, "King Jing is reasonable. That being the case, it was too late, so King Jing and Doctor Hua would go home, presumably Doctor Hua was tired after a busy night. ”

Hearing this, the two saluted and said goodbye and returned home hand in hand.

Leaving the emperor to look at Empress Su and Su Yu and the others.

Su Yu looked at the emperor's appearance, got up and saluted the emperor and said, "The old minister is very sorry. This kind of change happened today, but now that the clue is broken, it can only be slowed down first. The night was dark, and the old minister was too old to stay up late, so he took his leave first. ”

Saying that, Su Yu was about to leave.

But he was stopped by Fu Beixing and said: "Didn't the Protector say when he came that he missed Queen Su and wanted to see Queen Su to enjoy the joy of family, why did the Queen just come and the Protector was leaving?" Don't you catch up with Queen Su? ”

Hearing this, the protector's face did not change, and he replied: "Since the old minister has already seen the queen, the old minister is worth the trip." And the emperor has said it before. The queen is still in the process of grounding and introspecting, and it is naturally inconvenient for the old minister to disturb the queen's introspection. ”

Looking at Su Amnesty, who was the head of the Tao, the emperor laughed angrily in his heart, and said with a sneer: "It seems that the Lord Protector didn't worry much about the queen, and he never asked, why can a little palace maid enter the queen's palace at will to obtain the juice of the flower on the other side?" ”

Knowing that the emperor didn't want to let himself go easily, the Protector returned to the table and sat down: "The old minister thinks that there are layers of guards in the palace, and Niangniang must be safe." As for this palace maid being able to enter the Niangniang Palace, I think it is because she knows that this palace maid is in charge of flowers and plants. ”

"Oh? Queen, is what the Protector said true? Fu Beixing asked.

Queen Su watched the two of you come and go, and she was very anxious at the moment, not knowing why she was involved in the unjustified disaster. I was just grounded because of my uncle's affairs, and now there is such a mess again.

After thinking about it, Queen Su said: "Back to the emperor, this dragon claw flower was cultivated and sent by the flower house, but the people in the concubine's palace are not very good at taking care of it, so I think it is because this has an intersection with this dead palace maid, so I will be defenseless for her to come to the palace." ”

Listening to Queen Su's words, Fu Beixing said casually: "That's true, but the poor care of this flower in the queen's palace is also obvious to everyone, and this flower is called dragon claw flower, and the queen should know the importance of this flower." ”
