Xue Wanqing heard this, and her tears became even more fierce. How lonely she was just now, as if she was locked in a cage alone, and everyone outside the cage scolded her and spit on her, and she could only stand alone in the cage, with no one around her.

She moved her legs slightly, but the wounds on her body tore her nerves, and she was instantly weak in pain, and her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up.

Long Yichen seemed to be afraid of hurting her wounds, so he picked her up carefully and gently, and walked towards the phoenix chair. Seeing this, Rong Jiao's heart burned with anger, she clenched her hands, her beautiful face, and the powder on her face was about to be shaken off. The other concubines all had angry lips trembling, and their faces were several layers darker.

Rong Jiao's lips turned white with fright, she never thought that when she was about to succeed, the emperor would appear and protect Xue Wanqing like this. She said in a weak voice: "Back to the emperor, the concubine is just investigating a case related to Xue Meiren. ”

Long Yichen didn't look at Rong Jiao, and said coldly; "Investigate the case, and the caning has been taken out? Did the queen want to torture her to extract a confession? ”

"Your Majesty! The concubine had no such intention! Rong Jiao was startled, her whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and she said, "It's the concubine's fault!" The concubine will compensate Sister Xue! As the master of the harem, he actually wanted to make amends to a little beauty, and Rong Jiao was full of anger in her heart.

Long Yichen did not answer Rong Jiao, but hugged Xue Wanqing and sat on the phoenix chair, Xue Wanqing was about to open her mouth to tell him that she did not harm Wen E, Long Yichen seemed to know what she was going to say, and said, "No need to say it, I know everything." He looked at Xue Wanqing, "I believe in you. ”

Xue Wanqing was moved in her heart, and the tears that had just stopped were about to fall again, she wiped her tears and said, "Even so, the concubine wants to prove her innocence." ”

"How does Qing'er want to prove it?"

"The concubine wants to dissect the corpse." Xue Wanqing said lightly. She just saw Wen E's corpse decomposing beyond recognition, and felt strange in her heart. According to her years of medical experience, the corpse had only been soaked in water for a short time, and it would not decompose like this. The only possibility is - someone poisoned Wen E's body!

"Autopsy?" Long Yichen raised his eyebrows with interest, but he still said, "No, you are so weak, you will be tired." ”

The sudden gentleness made Xue Wanqing's heart pound, although it was just a simple sentence, the man in front of her made her feel the care and warmth she had never felt before.

When a person is most helpless, someone comes to care about it, and it is easy for that person to sprout some different feelings.

Xue Wanqing understands that now, proving her innocence is the most correct choice. She opened her mouth and said: "The concubine must prove her innocence and ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”

Long Yichen leaned over and kissed her delicate lips gently, and said, "In that case, I will accompany you." ”

At this moment, the concubines in the palace were still kneeling on the cold ground, still in the posture when they saw Long Yichen. They watched their beloved emperor and other women have a deep affection, but they were left to the side like air, and the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, but no one dared to make a sound.

Long Yichen ordered someone to bring knives and silver needles. When the concubines saw that Xue Wanqing was really going to dissect the corpse, they couldn't help but feel a tumbling stomach, and the food of the previous days was in their throats, but they were forced to press it down.

Xue Wanqing walked to the side of the corpse, endured the stench of the corpse's decay, lifted the corpse's clothes, and cut her abdomen with a quick movement, pulling out her stomach.

A concubine couldn't hold back any longer, and vomited with a "vomit". Long Yichen glanced at her unhappily, and immediately two eunuchs walked in and pulled the concubine out. Only the cry of the concubine echoed in the palace: "The emperor spared the concubine!" The concubine knows it's wrong! The concubine doesn't dare anymore! Please! Please......"

Xue Wanqing looked at the organs in her hand and saw that her stomach was completely black, so she called, "Silver needle." ”

The eunuch on the side hurriedly handed the silver needle to Xue Wanqing's hand, for fear of delay.

Xue Wanqing plunged the silver needle into her stomach, and as she expected, it didn't take long for the silver needle to gradually turn black.

She said: "Your Majesty, Wen Cairen was not drowned, but poisoned. ”

"Why did Qing'er say that?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Xue Wanqing raised the silver needle in her hand and said, "Wen Cairen's stomach is poisonous, presumably someone gave her something highly poisonous that caused her to die." ”

Fang Jinqiu's whole body trembled unconsciously, she had been in this palace for so many years, and she didn't seem to be so afraid.

At this time, Rong Jiao, who knelt until her whole body was sore, said: "That doesn't prove that you didn't get poisoned!" After that, she regretted it, the emperor is still here, isn't she looking for death when she says this?

Fortunately, Long Yichen didn't say anything, and Xue Wanqing said; "Before today, the concubine has never had close contact with Wen Cairen, and the concubine has no grievances with Wen Cairen, why poison?"

Rong Jiao knew that Xue Wanqing had completely gotten rid of suspicion now, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who misunderstood Sister Xue, and the concubine will do her best to find out the murderer!"

Long Yichen didn't pay attention to Rong Jiao, but spoke leisurely: "I heard that Wen Cai was in Fang Zhaoyi's palace yesterday? ”

Fang Jinqiu's body leaned lower, and his voice trembled: "Your Majesty, Wen Cairen was indeed with the concubine yesterday, but the concubine did not poison Wen Cairen!" The concubine is willing to swear in the name of the Fang family! After speaking, he glanced at the slave Ziyun who was kneeling beside him, and glanced at her. Ziyun's eyes hesitated, struggling, biting her lower lip, but there were no words.

Rong Jiao saw that this was a great opportunity to solve Fang Jinqiu, after all, how many years he had been in the palace, how many years Fang Jinqiu had been against him. So she said, "And say no! Fang Zhaoyi, if you admit it, the emperor may still be gracious and give a lighter punishment. ”

At this time, Ziyun said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's the poison of the slave!" Seeing that Wen Cai and Xue Mei were young and beautiful, the slave was afraid that they would get in the way of Zhaoyi Niangniang, so she poisoned Wen Cai and instigated her to frame Xue Meiren...... Your Majesty, Ziyun should be damned! ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Jinqiu slapped Ziyun in the face and scolded bitterly: "How can you be so confused! ”
