Among the courtiers, one of them wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead after watching this quarrel in silence.

Everyone quarreled for nearly a quarter of an hour, and then it was quiet before Emperor Dachu spoke, "How is the investigation of Dali Temple?" ”

The official who had just finished wiping his sweat immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, the results of the investigation have basically been obtained. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Emperor Chu's gaze swept over the courtiers, taking in their different expressions.

As early as the day before, the investigation results of Dali Temple had been placed on the desk of Emperor Dachu.

Dali Temple wiped his sweat, "After a detailed investigation, after the three princes entered the palace that day, they went to Chaohuang Palace under the leadership of the queen's maid Toon, and the two talked for only an hour, and the three princes left the palace, among which they did not go anywhere else, nor did they meet Concubine Zhen." ”

Concubine Zhen is the concubine who fell into the lake.

"We tortured Toon, and Toon confirmed that the Third Prince had not been anywhere else."

"Therefore, we preliminarily confirmed that the third prince is not suspected of murdering Concubine Zhen."

"If the third prince hadn't met Concubine Zhen, then why did he leave the three princes' belongings at the scene?" An official questioned urgently.

Dali Temple: "We investigated the evidence, according to the description of the subordinates, the three princes were not brought into the palace, so it cannot be regarded as evidence that the three princes murdered the emperor's heir." ”

"Before and after Concubine Zhen stumbled and fell into the lake, only Xiaoxue, the maid of Chaoxia Palace, and Mama Su of Chaohuang Palace passed by."

"Why did Mama Su from Chaohuang Palace appear there?"

"Mama Su went to get the queen's favorite snacks, just passing by there." Dali Temple said, "But Xiaoxue stayed there for a quarter of an hour before leaving. ”

Asaka Palace is the palace where the six princes and concubines are located.

Hearing this, many people's faces changed.

Someone asked, "Why did Xiaoxue appear there?" ”

Dali Temple: "Xiaoxue, like Mama Su, was ordered by Concubine Cheng to go to the imperial dining room to get pastries, and passed by here on the way, and was seen by Concubine Zhen and stopped people. ”

"Concubine Zhen chatted with Xiaoxue for nearly a quarter of an hour, during which she ate the pastries that Xiaoxue brought to Concubine Cheng, and Xiaoxue finally returned empty-handed."

Concubine Zhen used to be just a little-known little beauty, if it weren't for Emperor Dachu's thoughts, Concubine Zhen seized the opportunity to successfully conceive, no one knew about this person.

From the obscurity in the past, to the current high-ranking concubine, Concubine Zhen's pride in her heart can be imagined, and seeing that these old people in the harem are not as good as her, plus she is pregnant with a dragon heir, she is so bold that she can't do it, and during that time, she really saw everyone with her nostrils facing the sky.

When I saw Xiaoxue that day and learned that she was Concubine Cheng's maid, Concubine Zhen told people to want to humiliate her.

Who knew this would be her last chance to go berserk.

"In this way, Xiaoxue is not a murderer." Someone concluded, "The people who passed by at that time were the most likely to start, Xiaoxue and Mama Su were both ruled out of suspicion, so who killed Concubine Zhen?" ”

At that time, there were only two people passing by, and neither of them was suspicious, so how did Concubine Zhen die?

"You don't want to say that Concubine Zhen's fall into the water is just a misstep, right?" The official who was not right with Dali Temple choked up.

Dali Temple glanced at him and nodded: "Concubine Zhen's fall into the water is indeed a misstep." ”

No one expected that Dali Temple would admit this.

The courtiers were in an uproar.

It has always been said that the third prince murdered Concubine Zhen, but now Dali Temple has investigated that Concubine Zhen's death was just an accident?

What was the purpose of their hard quarrel before?

"Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is innocent."

"The Three Princes are innocent of a crime, it's really ......" In addition to the Three Princes' family, there are also supporters of the Three Princes, and there are very few people in the Three Princes' faction now, but they have the vision to speak for the Three Princes.

The eldest prince stood at the front, although he was still calm, but his eyes were already sunk.

The six princes breathed a sigh of relief.

Dali Temple was puzzled: "Who said that Concubine Zhen's death was an accident?" ”

"......" the courtier was silent.

"Concubine Zhen fell into the lake, it was indeed an accident, but Concubine Zhen's death was not the reason."

"What else is the reason for this?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

Among the courtiers, some people frowned, and a bad premonition came.

Before he could react to where this feeling came from, he heard Dali Temple continue: "Before Concubine Zhen fell into the water, she was already poisoned! And what made her suffer was the plate of pastries brought by Xiaoxue! ”

"After Concubine Zhen was poisoned, she fell into the lake because of the pain all over her body."

"Therefore, the cause of Concubine Zhen's death is not falling into the water, but poisoning!"

"You talk nonsense!" One of the courtiers jumped out in an instant, and everyone looked at it, it was the foreign family of the six princes, Cheng Shangshu.

Cheng Shangshu looked at Dali Temple with a resentful face, "Lord Liu has no evidence, don't talk nonsense, when I investigated before, no imperial doctor ever said that there was a problem with that plate of pastries, Lord Liu don't spew blood!" ”

Dali Temple: "The emperor Mingjian, the reason why the imperial doctor has not detected poison before is because the poison in Concubine Zhen is a forbidden medicine!" ”

"What?!"

Hearing the word forbidden medicine, many people's eyelids jumped, and some people's expressions suddenly became serious, they all looked at the Great Chu Emperor, and the Great Chu Emperor's expression was indeed as gloomy as ink.

Dali Temple: "It is a forbidden medicine called life and death dream, some people put the ingredients of life and death dream on different cakes, and there may be no problem if you eat it alone, but if it is mixed together, it will become a poison that does not see blood." ”

"It is with this poison that the murderer misled us and made us mistakenly think that he was the poisoner of the three princes." Dali Temple's gaze fell on the six princes with a panicked face.

"That plate of pastries was brought over by Xiaoxue, and Xiaoxue is Concubine Cheng's person." Dali Temple bowed slightly to Emperor Chu, "And more than ten days before the incident, the six princes entered the palace to see Concubine Cheng once, although we have no way of knowing, but this matter may be inseparable from the six princes." ”
