The emperor suddenly ordered everyone to go to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and everyone was a little unsure of the emperor's thoughts.

Although the physician had already confirmed that the person who fell was poisoned and not dysentery.

But the emperor didn't avoid it, so he asked people to bring a cadre to the Qianqing Palace, and he really couldn't say what the intention was.

When everyone arrived at the side hall, the emperor's court clothes had not been changed, only the crown was removed, and when he saw the person standing next to him, even Xu Han did not hide his surprise in his eyes.

The person standing next to the emperor suddenly was Xu Xiuyan, who was promoted to the head of Dali Temple.

About the emperor already knew what had happened, and directly frowned and asked Imperial Doctor Yan, who was standing below, "Are you sure that Jin Wuwei's person is poisoned, not dysentery?" ”

Imperial Physician Yan bowed his head and said, "The minister has examined the body of the deceased, and it is indeed poisoned and died. ”

The emperor glanced at Xu Han and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what kind of poison is there?" ”

Doctor Yan said, "Judging from the symptoms, it should be Qingxinsan. Qingxinsan is a medicinal material for clearing heat and laxative, but some people are naturally taboo about this thing, and they will sneeze when they smell it, and they will have a rash all over their body. ”

At first, I saw those fallen Jin Wuwei diarrhea, thinking that it was dysentery, but after asking, I saw that they were all covered with red rashes, and Imperial Doctor Yan knew that they should be taboo about these things.

Hearing that although this Qingxin San is a medicinal material, it can also kill people, and many people suddenly turned pale.

Chen Li handed the Qingxin Scatter swept out of the food box to Cui Hai next to the emperor, and said,

"After being reminded by Deputy Commander Xu, the minister swept these pure hearts with a brush around the food box and scattered them."

He said the message from Mama Qi again, and then pointed with his hand, pointing to the half-dizzy Jiangling,

"The minister thinks that this Qingxinsan is under the banner of Jinyi Weixiao."

Jiang Ling, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly came to his senses at this time, and shouted injustice, "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty!" With the courage of a humble position, he did not dare to do such a thing. ”

"Chen Li is the commander of Jin Wuwei, Xu Han is his subordinate, in order to avoid His Majesty's accountability, he dragged his humble post out of the top tank, and begged His Majesty to investigate."

"Xu Han, as the deputy commander of Jin Wuwei, has such a terrible thing on his body, what is his intention?"

Xu Han looked at the tortured Jiangling with a pale face, and did not mislook at the malice and viciousness he revealed.

Committing murder in the palace, such a big crime, this is to put her to death.

Xu Han still wondered before, was the person who calculated her so much trouble just to wrongfully accuse her of killing her colleagues?

Even if it was just an ordinary Jin Wuwei who died.

Now it seems that she really underestimated the viciousness of the mind of the person who calculated her, and the crime he wanted to impose on her turned out to be murder and rebellion.

Xu Han knelt down and replied to the emperor,

"Please Your Majesty, although the minister is the king of Zhenbei, it is just the shadow of the ancestors, thanks to Your Majesty's love, the minister can go from a small soldier of Jin Wuwei to the position of the deputy commander.

All the honor and disgrace of the minister are inherited on His Majesty's body, let me ask, why did the minister do such a thing to cut off his future? ”

Xu Han's tone was resolute.

The emperor pondered for a moment to let Xu Han get up, and was about to speak, when he heard Jiangling's resentful words,

"The assassins were caught, and if they did not commit suicide by taking poison, they all claimed that they did not enter the palace to carry out the assassination."

Xu Han looked at Jiang Ling and asked seriously,

"Jiang Xiaoqi kept saying that I entered the palace with poison, is there any evidence?"

"On the contrary, it is you, judging from the testimonies of all parties, the person who entered the palace with poison pointed to you."

"Jiang Xiaoqi's ability to play a rake is very good."

She restrained the surging anger in her heart, raised her head slightly, and met the emperor's angry gaze,

"Your Majesty is so holy and wise, and those who vainly try to play tricks in front of Your Majesty will only be self-defeating and bring humiliation upon themselves."

"I believe that today's events, Your Majesty's heart has long been like a fire."

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, those who believe in me do not need me to explain and refute, they will believe me, and those who do not believe in me, even if I work hard, it is useless."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile,

"A good one who cleans himself up."

"Since you have your own opinions, you all say that the poison is caused by the other. Even the testimony of the witnesses was not believed, so I reassigned a person who had nothing to do with the matter to try the case.

Set up a public hall on this side hall, and I just watched the results.

How is it? ”

He pointed to Xu Xiuyan, who was standing silently on the side,

"The dignified Tanhualang, who has been a Hanlin, has been a parent official, and now he is a Dali Temple, I think you will not object."

He said to Xu Xiuyan, "You have always been good at judging cases, so I will leave this matter to you to decide." ”

As soon as Emperor Chrysostom opened his words, no matter who it was, he did not dare to object.

Xu Xiuyan, as always, accepted the will with an indifferent face.

Xu Han lowered his eyes, and he couldn't understand what the emperor was doing this for, but in fact, Chen Li's review was already very clear.

Gangneung is the most suspicious.

The people involved were already waiting outside the hall, and Xu Xiuyan didn't let the people in the kitchen come in again, but just called Mama Qi to come in and asked again.

Then turn to Chen Li,

"I don't know if the adults searched Lord Xu and Jiang Xiaoqi's house after the accident?"

Although Chen Li said that it was a bit coincidental to be the commander of Jin Wuwei, he was promoted to the position of deputy commander and climbed up step by step.

His ability is naturally not weak, and before he touched Gangneung, all the people who came into contact with food were innocent, and he naturally would not spend any more time trying it.

Now it's just focusing on Xu Han and Jiang Ling, who is the one who poisoned them?

Chen Li's face was a little ugly, and after the accident, he began to interrogate from the bottom to the top, and finally went to Jiangling and directly tortured him.

They weren't searched.

The emperor glanced at it and instructed Cui Hai,

"Take someone to the two of them's place to find out."

Xu Han didn't speak, just looked at his toes.

Cui Hai was instructed to personally lead people to search the houses of Jin Wuwei and Gangneung.

The waiting time was torturous, it was long, and it passed quickly, and the people brought by Cui Hai came back soon.

He entered the side hall and first replied to the emperor,

"The little one took people to Lord Xu and Jiang Xiaoqi's house to search, Jiang Xiaoqi's house was very clean and there was nothing to do."

He paused, glanced at Xu Han, and said,

"It's Lord Xu's house, and the little one has found this."

After speaking, he presented a purse, "This is the purse found under Lord Xu's pillow, and there is some powder in it......"

Jin Wuwei Zhao Gang, who accused Xu Han of poisoning just now, immediately screamed and pointed at Xu Han and said,

"Isn't this an adult's purse? The subordinates saw Lord Xu hanging on his waist before. ”

Gangneung's face was excited, he bracked his body, and his excited face was distorted,

"Lord Xu, now that the evidence is conclusive, don't you still plead guilty?"

He kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the lowly position is wronged, the lowly position has not done anything, the lowly duty has to sue Chen Li, he shielded his subordinates, and he was beaten into a trick." ”

Xu Han only thought it was funny, this method of planting blame was really not very clever.

Also, sometimes to harm people, the means don't need to be clever, as long as they are shameless enough.

Seeing that Xu Han didn't speak, Jiang Ling thought that she was irrefutable, and said to the emperor,

"Your Majesty, Xu Han dared to bring poison into the palace, it was simply ill-intentioned, and I asked Your Majesty to punish him severely to set an example."

At this time, an attendant hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Cui Hai's ear beside the emperor, Cui Hai thought about it and walked to the emperor's side to report,

"Your Majesty, the old prince of Zhenbei Xu Jun is asking to see you outside the palace."

Xu Han frowned when he heard this, could it be that the outside of the palace had already received the news of the accident in the palace?

The Emperor raised an eyebrow, "What is he here for?" ”

The chamberlain bowed his head and reported, "The old prince of Zhenbei said that he had something important to report. ”

The Emperor thought for a moment, "Let him in." ”

After a while, Xu Jun walked to the palace under the leadership of an attendant and saluted the emperor.

Before he knelt down, he glanced at Xu Han lightly and signaled that she didn't have to be afraid.

The emperor asked Xu Jun, "What do you have to tell you?" ”

Xu Jundao, "Your Majesty, although this son of the old minister is stubborn, he is not unreasonable, and he will never bring poisonous things into the palace." ”

The emperor squinted slightly, meaning authentically,

"It is said that the relationship between the father and son of the king of Zhenbei is very bad, and now it seems that it is just a rumor, since you are here, then listen to it on the side."

"I just found this purse in the house where Xu Han was resting, and it contained poison."

He bowed his head towards the purse in Cui Hai's hand and motioned for Xu Jun to take a look, meaning that this was the evidence.

Xu Jun stretched out his hand to take the purse, and immediately retorted, "This purse is not owned by the rebel son. ”

The emperor's gaze swept over Xu Han's waist and smiled slightly,

"Oh? Could it be that you still have access to things in the house? How do you know if it's not your son's thing? ”

"I look exactly the same."

Xu Jun's face tightened, "This purse does seem to be the same as that used by the rebel son, but the needle and thread on this purse are not owned by the Zhenbei Palace." ”

"The embroidery girls used in the courtier's mansion were all brought by the princess from Shu back then."

When talking about Xu Danxiu, Xu Jun's face was a little embarrassed, he paused, and continued,

"Shu embroidery is different from that of our capital, not to mention, the rebel son of the minister was spoiled by his mother, and the belts and ornaments on his body were all made by the princess herself, and the embroidery was also double-sided."

As he spoke, he flipped through the back of his purse, which was just an ordinary embroidery.

Jiang Ling sneered below, "Old prince, even if the purse is not from your house, what's so strange?" Isn't this exactly Lord Xu's plan? ”

"Use an infrequently used purse to hold poison, and after the incident, skim it all out......"

His smile was distorted, and he grinned, "The duty of the Jinyi Guard is to supervise hundreds of officials, and Lord Xu is naturally the object of supervision, but I know that recently, the servants around Lord Xu went to buy the Qingxin San......"

Xu Jun's heart sank when he heard this, since Jiangling dared to say it, then Xu Han must have bought it.

Why is this so coincidental?

Xu Han couldn't help but be impressed by Jiangling, he and the person who framed him were very thoughtful for her.

Jiangling smiled proudly at Xu Han, and then bowed to the emperor,

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to light now, please send it to Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't look at Jiangling, "I have already said that this matter will be handled by Xu Aiqing, Xu Aiqing?" ”

Xu Xiuyan took the one that had been confirmed by the imperial doctor to be left behind was indeed Qingxinsan, and said,

"Judging from this purse, Lord Xu is indeed inseparable from this matter, but whether it is Lord Xu or the old prince, they are all meritorious ministers.

The charge of rebellion is extraordinary, and this official cannot convict people so rashly.

"What's more, several hours have passed since the incident, and although Commander Chen didn't search at that time, what is found now may not really be left by Lord Xu."

Jiang Ling said anxiously, "Lord Xu, since you want to postpone the retrial, this Xu Han is also suspected of rebellion, is it possible that you still want to let her go?"

Have you forgotten that Emperor Taizu once decreed that anyone who brought weapons and poison into the palace without permission would be punished for the crime of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion?

This Xu Han obviously committed a capital crime, and if he was easily forgiven, even Emperor Taizu would not agree. ”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ling actually moved out the Taizu, which made everyone present unexpected.

Xu Jun's face was very ugly, even Chen Li looked at Jiangling with an unknown meaning.

Xu Han, who had not spoken, finally spoke, she ignored Jiang Ling's words that he would send her to prison, and looked up at Xu Xiuyan,

"Lord Xu, this purse is not mine, the so-called crime of rebellion is just a crime of wanting to add it."

Jiang Ling stared at Xu Han coldly and said gloomily,

"Is it a crime to be added to the desire, and when you go to prison and receive the same punishment as me, you will tell the truth."

He held up his hand wrapped in white gauze.

Xu Han pointed to the purse that still had the medicinal powder, "I will tell the truth without being punished, does Jiang Xiaoqi know why?" ”

Jiang Ling sneered, "You still ask me, I will be dragged to the top tank by you, not to mention that Imperial Doctor Yan is still here, he said that this is Qingxinsan." ”

Xu Han nodded, stepped forward and twisted his heart, sniffed it in his nose, and immediately sneezed a big one.

"That's right, this is Qingxinsan, and the servants around me have indeed bought Qingxinsan, it seems that Jiang Xiaoqi's supervision of me is in place, which is worthy of praise."

She smiled at the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who had never spoken, and said, "Your Excellency has a good subordinate. ”

The commander of the Jinyi guard just glanced at her coldly, "I don't deserve the praise of the little prince." ”

Xu Han smiled and said seriously, "Although Jiang Xiaoqi's supervision is in place, but you missed a very important point, today, I will remind you." ”

She turned to Xu Xiuyan,

"Lord Xu, if I can explain this matter, please return my innocence when the time comes."

Xu Xiuyan looked at her expressionlessly, bowing his head, "If you can explain that this matter has nothing to do with you, this official will naturally make the decision for you." ”

Jiang Ling looked at Xu Han with a gloomy face, if his hand could still be held, he didn't know that his nails were pinched into the flesh at about this time.

At this time, Imperial Physician Yan, who was standing on the side, suddenly stepped forward and said,

"Lord Xu, do you know if you should say something?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiuyan looked at Imperial Doctor Yan, "Speak." ”

Imperial Physician Yan glanced at Jiangling and arched his hand, "I have some relationship with the Xu Wangfu in Shudi, the princess of Zhenbei back then, oh no, after the Xu family married into the palace, I often went to the palace. ”

"Today's little prince can be said to have grown up with me, from childhood to adulthood, but whenever she has a headache and brain fever, I will go to the house for diagnosis and treatment."

"It's something that everyone in the hospital knows."

When Imperial Physician Yan spoke, the emperor at the top suddenly showed a smile, and looked at Xu Han with a smile.

"Jiang Xiaoqi said that the little prince was poisoned, which is simply nonsense, because the little prince himself has an abnormality towards Qingxinsan.

Just now, the little prince just sniffed it, and he sneezed a lot, which everyone can see. ”

Imperial Physician Yan's words fell, and the people present couldn't help but look at Jiangling, just now when Xu Han heard that his heart was scattered, he did sneeze loudly.

In this way, the poisoning has nothing to do with Xu Han.

Xu Han looked at Jiang Ling, whose face was ugly, and then slowly made up for the fatal knife, she raised her hand and stretched it out, her nails were cut short, and her fingers were long.

It's just that the thumb and index fingertips that have just been twisted are already red, and there is a tendency to spread.

She said slowly, "Once you have a rash, it won't fade easily. ”

How could a person who is so sensitive to Qingxinsan be poisoned?

What's more, if she was forcibly poisoned, then why didn't she have a rash on her body and didn't feel any discomfort?

Jiang Ling's face changed at this time.

Xu Xiuyan flipped through the file in his hand, raised his eyes when he heard this, and asked, "Jiang Xiaoqi, I don't know if you have anything else to say?" ”

"You said that Commander Chen shielded and connived at Lord Xu's murder, and His Majesty gave you a chance to solve your doubts, but now that Lord Xu's suspicion has been relieved, you ......"

Jiang Ling wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said,

"The lowly position is wronged, the lowly duty is just eating a few pieces of pastry, and it is wronged like this, Chen Li will punish the lowly position if he disagrees, which is clearly to bend and beat."

He knew that it was not possible to frame Xu Han, so he could only find a way to exonerate himself.

Xu Xiuyan said in his unique, undulating, indifferent voice,

"The interrogation was done with extraordinary means, this is understandable, Lord Chen is not at fault, do you admit that you can't bear the poisoning?"

"You are Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, you should know what crime you should be guilty of falsifying your testimony and slandering the court officials above the court."

When Jiang Ling heard this, his legs, which were already as soft as a puddle of mud, were even weaker, as if they were about to melt on the ground.

Even if he didn't have a good impression of Xu Xiuyan, Xu Han couldn't help but sigh secretly twice in his heart.

No wonder Xu Ge is like that, the emperor still values Xu Xiuyan very much.

Outside the door, an inner servant hurriedly came in, and it was Xiao Wei who was outside asking to see him.

Xu Han's heart moved slightly, Xiao Xiao entered the palace at this time, is it also related to this matter? Before, she was afraid that Xiao Wei would be in a hurry.

Suddenly, his heart was a little anxious, his body moved slightly, and he looked at the entrance of the hall out of the corner of his eye.

Xiao Wei didn't even look at Xu Han, went straight to the emperor, knelt down with a plop, greeted the emperor, and said loudly without waiting for the emperor to ask,

"Your Majesty, the matter of Jin Wuwei's poisoning in the palace, the minister has already helped you find out."

The emperor let out an 'oh' and motioned for him to stand up and reply, Xiao Wei stood up like a stream and stood next to Xu Han.

Xiao Wei and Xu Han stood together, one handsome and incomparable, the other with a picturesque face, this superb beauty actually made the entire hall a little brighter.

But the two didn't even match their eyes.

In addition, there is a delicate-looking Xu Xiuyan on the side, and even the emperor finds it pleasing to the eye.

The emperor glanced at Xiao Wei, "Since you said that you have found out, then you can say it." ”

I saw him turn to Gangneung and say unceremoniously,

"Jiangling, let me ask you, is it that you have been able to get to the position of the small flag today, does it mean that your ability is okay?"

Jiang Ling nodded as a matter of course, and it naturally took a lot of his hard work to be able to achieve the position of Xiaoqi in Jinyiwei.

Xiao Wei smiled,

"You are the little flag of Jinyiwei, I heard that you have recently won a beautiful flower, and it seems that you are proud of the spring breeze."

Gangneung swallowed his saliva,

"What do you mean? My fiancée has nothing to do with it. ”

"She has a deep affection for me, she is very affectionate, and she doesn't even want to be famous, as long as she follows me, she is naturally excellent."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Wei and looked at his expression.

Xiao Wei smiled at the emperor and said,

"Your Majesty, the minister wants Princess Anping to also come to hear about this case, I don't know if it's okay?"

The emperor's gaze was suspicious, and he asked, "What does Anping, a harem princess, have to do with this matter?" ”

Xiao Wei smiled and said nothing, only said,

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to use the position of the prince in exchange for Anping to come over to try the case, because Princess Anping is the key to this case."
