Li Cairen's face turned pale, and her whole person was paralyzed to the ground, and the two forbidden soldiers stepped forward and dragged her out from behind.

"Li Cairen, how do you explain this silent pollen?!"

If you want to talk about the beauties of the harem, the reason why a concubine like Li Cairen, who has a low status and did not give birth to a captivating appearance, will be remembered by Emperor Showa is also because she makes a good meal.

Last year, Emperor Showa had nothing to do in the harem to relax, and when he passed by a gazebo, he smelled a fragrance that aroused his appetite.

Later, I asked and found out that the fragrance was emitted by the dishes made by Li Cairen.

Emperor Showa is the Ninety-Five Supreme who has never eaten any good things, but a few dishes made by Li Cairen that day really aroused his interest, and he ate the meal in the pavilion with Li Cairen that day, and he was pampered that night.

Later, when Emperor Showa occasionally passed by the pavilion, he would think of the picture of Li Cairen eating there, and then he would go to her palace to pamper her.

Just before he was poisoned, he did go to Li Cairen's place, because Li Cairen was really too ordinary in other aspects except for being able to cook a few dishes to change his appetite, so he didn't think of this person for the first time after being poisoned.

It wasn't until today that the Forbidden Army found pollen in her palace that he suddenly came to his senses.

In the face of Emperor Showa's questioning, Li Cairen didn't seem to be afraid, as if he had known that there would be such a day, his face was discouraged, but his expression was very calm, and he raised his eyes to look at Emperor Showa.

"The thing is indeed mine, and the poison is also from me, this matter has nothing to do with anything, the emperor asks me about my crimes."

If Li Cairen flatly denied trying to find a way to defend himself, Emperor Showa would not hesitate to believe that the poison was caused by her, but now looking at her calm appearance of looking at death as home, he has to wonder in his heart, whether the poison was caused by her, or is she trying to figure out who is covering up the crime!

"Li Cairen, I will give you a chance to live, if you obediently say that it is for you to use this pollen to harm people, I will let you have a way out."

Li Cairen smiled sadly. "As long as I tell the truth, will the emperor let me go?"

When Emperor Showa heard it, he really had an insider!

"That's right, I'm right."

Li Cairen shook his head with red eyes. "No, I won't say it, I swore that even if I die in this life, I will never betray him, the emperor will kill me!"

Emperor Showa's eyes narrowed. "Okay, I'm going to see how tight your mouth is, come on, torture until you pry her mouth open!"

Several forbidden soldiers stepped forward with the torture rack and directly tortured Li Cairen on the main hall.

"Ahh

Li Cairen's fingers and toes were all clipped, but even so, she still clenched her teeth and didn't speak.

"Okay, okay, Li Cairen, you are very good! I want to see how faithful you can be to that man! Keep the torture! ”

Different torture instruments kept greeting Li Cairen, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word until the forbidden army walked in with a very clean robe.

"Your Majesty, we found this suspicious robe under Li Cairen's bed."

The Praetorian unfurled his robe, a water-red man's robe.

Li Cairen, who had been gritting his teeth and holding firm, changed his face instantly when he saw the robe.

This change was seen by Emperor Showa.

"Whose robe does it belong to?"

The talented man gritted his teeth and did not say a word.

The queen standing on the side wrinkled her eyebrows slightly after seeing the robe. "Your Majesty, the material used in this robe is still thought to be the Shui Yun Brocade that came as a tribute last year, didn't you give this Shui Yun Brocade to the eldest prince not long ago?"

At the beginning, Zhao Chen blocked the hidden weapon for Emperor Showa, and Emperor Showa rewarded him with a lot of things, including a horse of water cloud brocade.

As soon as the queen's words came out, Li Cairen's eyes became flustered.

"No, it's not, that's not the Great Prince, it's not the Great Prince!"

The more Li Cairen denied it, the more Emperor Showa felt that there was a clue in this.

"Go, call the eldest prince into the palace!"

"Yes."

Zhao Chen has been cleaning up the army outside the city with Lu Shaoqi for the past two days, and when Emperor Showa sent someone to find him, he had just returned to the mansion, and he was called into the palace before the door entered.

It was Emperor Showa who went to spread the word, and he didn't show his mouth, which made Zhao Chen full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has arrived."

"Let him in."

Zhao Chen, dressed in a dark red suit, strode into the main hall. "See Father." In the few moments after entering, Zhao Chen's eyes swept around the main hall, and when he saw Li Cairen, who was scarred and almost human-looking, he frowned slightly.

"Chen'er, I asked you if this robe is yours?" Emperor Showa did not immediately get angry with Zhao Chen, but asked calmly.

Zhao Chen glanced at the robe next to him and nodded. "Back to my father, this robe belongs to the son's minister, and the Shui Yunjin used to sew the robe is still given to the son's minister by the father."

"Then why did your robe fall in the palace?"

Zhao Chen tilted his head in confusion. "This Shuiyun Jin Erchen seems to have brought it into the palace as a spare robe on the day of the birthday banquet, but then it seems to be gone, and afterwards Erchen thought that it was just a robe and didn't take it to heart, father, did something happen?"

Emperor Showa looked at Zhao Chen's face and did not speak for a while, but turned his gaze to Li Cairen.

"Li Cairen, you said that the eldest prince instructed you to poison me and the Xiguiren, do you have any evidence?!"

"Father, the son is wronged! Erchen didn't know this Li Cairen at all, so how could she let her poison her father and the Xiguiren!? Zhao Chen secretly said that this should be the reason why Emperor Showa let him enter the palace.

Li Cairen, who was originally firm-eyed, gradually showed despair in his eyes when he heard Zhao Chen's words.

"Your Highness, that's not what you told me at the beginning...... Is it hard that everything you said to me before was false? You said, as long as the emperor is dead, you can sit in that position, and then you will be the queen, and you can give it to me, because I am a great hero who helped you achieve great things, but now you don't recognize it, and you don't care about my life or death, Your Highness, you are really ruthless! ”

Li Cairen's tearful accusation, if Zhao Chen didn't know that he didn't do it, he would have believed it!

"Zhao Chen! You'd better explain to me what the hell is going on!? At this time, Emperor Showa was not pretending, and directly questioned with a deep face.

Zhao Chen's lips pursed, he didn't expect that he was only a few days away from the city, and someone took advantage of this gap to put him along.

"Father Ming Cha, Erchen doesn't know her at all, she is slandering Erchen!"

"Yes, yes, your majesty, I don't know the eldest prince at all, everything is my own fault, I am willing to apologize with death!" Li Cairen said, turned around and slammed into the stone pillar behind him.

Zhao Chen's peach blossom eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he dodged quickly

Stop her, if this person dies, he won't be able to tell ten mouths!

"Is it to apologize for your death or to be afraid that your lies will be exposed, you poisoned and murdered the emperor's palace, but you won't let you die like this!"

Zhao Chen said that as soon as his hand moved, he tore off his belt, tied her hands and feet, and removed her chin, just to not leave her any chance to seek death!

"Father, this person is very suspicious, how long has the son been back in Beijing for a long time, how can he get acquainted with her, and ask my father to investigate!"

"I heard that His Royal Highness is a wanderer before, and now it seems to be true, but the eldest prince, no matter how much you love beauty, you can't be without measure, Li Cairen is a woman in the emperor's harem, where do you put the emperor in this way?"

When Zhao Chen first came back, the queen didn't take him seriously at all, but after the events happened, the queen had to face up to Zhao Chen's existence, if he was allowed to develop, it would definitely be a scourge in the future, so it was better to take advantage of this time to get rid of him, so as to clear the obstacles to that road for her son!

The empress's words made Emperor Showa even more convinced that Zhao Chen had a good relationship with Li Cairen, he had just returned to Xijing, yes, but it was not difficult for him to seduce an ignorant woman in the harem.

"Come on, the eldest prince poisoned me and the noble people to take him down and put him in prison!"

"Father!" Zhao Chen wanted to argue again, but the two forbidden soldiers had already stepped forward to stop him.

"Take it down!"

"Father, the son is wronged, this woman was instructed by someone to wronged the son......"

Zhao Chen was so angry that he couldn't do it, but in the current situation, he had no way to come up with evidence to prove his innocence, so he could only let the forbidden army take him down.

"Li Cairen also dragged me down, watch it tightly, don't let her find her tired of life, I want to keep her alive!" Dare to poison him, he has to let these people who don't know life and death know the lesson, wouldn't it be too cheap to let them die like this!

The news that the real culprit who poisoned Emperor Showa had been caught quickly spread, and the spies got the news and handed it to the Imperial Mansion as soon as possible.

Zhao Xuanling was in the study at this time, looking at the terrain map of Zhanbei Pass.

"Lord, there is news from the palace."

"Come in."

Mingyang walked into the study. "Lord Wang, just now the spies in the palace came to report that they had caught the real culprit who poisoned the emperor and murdered the heir of the emperor in the belly of the noble man."

Zhao Xuanling's eyelids raised. "Who is it?"

"The Great Prince."

Zhao Xuanling raised his eyebrows slightly. "Zhao Chen?"

"Yes, the emperor is furious and has sent the eldest prince to prison."

Zhao Xuanling raised his head. "Tell the king in detail what happened."

"Yes."

Mingyang told the matter one by one, and even some details were not let go.

"Who is this Li Cairen?"

"My subordinates have already sent someone to investigate."

"The reinforcements from Zhanbeiguan are about to set off the day after tomorrow, but Zhao Chen has such a thing at this time."

"The prince thinks that the poisoning is related to the reinforcements of the North Pass?"

"Zhao Chen is imprisoned, the emperor will not rest assured that Lu Shaoqi will lead the army alone, you pay attention to the movements of the various provinces, and come to the palace as soon as there is any change, and that Li Cairen, don't let her die in the prison."

"Yes."

As soon as Mingyang withdrew, Lin Mumu walked out from behind the screen with a book. "The prince wants to protect Zhao Chen?"
