Yin Xuan hugged Nie Qingwan tightly, her handsome and noble face buried in her neck, smelling the unfamiliar aroma around her neck, and muttering these words.

In the midst of such words and deep feelings, he also sank into sleep.

Woke up the next day with nothing in my arms.

Yin Xuan frowned dissatisfiedly, and before he could open his mouth to call someone, Nie Qingwan had already brought a golden basin over, took a towel and clothes, and said as if he was fine: "The emperor is awake?" ”

Yin Xuan glared at her, kicked the jacket away with a little negative emotion, and landed on his legs, Nie Qingwan immediately knelt down and put on dragon boots for him.

Yin Xuan looked at her so indifferently, looking at her rickety head and humble and prostrate body, thinking that he had mistaken her for the woman he loved in his heart last night, he couldn't get angry, how could she compare with the woman in his heart? Does she deserve it?

After Nie Qingwan put on his dragon boots, he kicked her away angrily, and then called out to Sui Hai to come in and wait for him to dress, wash his face and comb his hair.

When he came in with the sea, he was surprised to see Nie Qingwan fall to the ground again, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he only served Yin Xuan wholeheartedly.

After everything was cleaned up, Yin Xuan walked out with his hands behind his back.

After taking three steps, he turned his head again, turned back, and stood in front of Nie Qingwan.

Nie Qingwan had already sat back on the ground, frowning her beautiful eyebrows, rubbing her sore arm, and when she saw that the dragon boots stopped in front of her eyes, she raised her head.

Yin Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at her, slowly, he said, "Follow the sea and wait outside the hall." ”

Outside this hall, it refers to the Jinluan Hall that presides over the court.

Nie Qingwan knew that Yin Xuan's intention in arranging this was nothing more than to make her unable to leave his eyes an inch, and he wanted to stare her to death.

Nie Qingwan said: "The slave understands. ”

Yin Xuan didn't say more, turned his back and went out to the court.

But Yin Xuan never expected that he would obviously look at people so closely, and something would still happen to the harem.

As soon as he got off the court, Suihai rushed up in a hurry and said to him urgently: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" Something happened to the queen! ”

Yin Xuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Sui Hai said with a worried face: "The head of the Gangshoude Palace came to report that the queen was poisoned, and Imperial Doctor Dou had brought several imperial doctors over, and I don't know what the situation is now." ”

Yin Xuan was shocked, brushed off the dragon sleeves and hurriedly went to Shoude Palace, when he passed by Nie Qingwan's side, his powerful gaze was certain, stared at her coldly for a long time, and said, "You also follow." ”

Then, just go.

The queen was poisoned, and the harem was in an uproar.

Early in the morning, the Shoude Palace was crowded with people, in addition to the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, there were also concubines, concubines and noble beauties of all grades.

Although there are many people, there are very few people who can really see the queen.

Tuoba Mingyan also came, but he was not received by the queen.

Concubine Chen was announced by the queen.

In the queen's bedroom, Dou Fuze and Wang Yuzhou were there, and after several imperial doctors' rounds of pulse checks, they finally unanimously determined that the poison in the queen was the poison of the Northern Barren Mountain.

If the poison is light, it will not be fatal, if it is a little heavier, it may cause disability, and even if it is serious, it will be fatal.

But this poison will definitely be cured if it is discovered in time, because it is not a poison without an antidote, and there is still an antidote.

And coincidentally, the palace of Da Yin has the antidote to this poison.

It's just that the North Barren Mountain barrier poison only rages in the North Barren Mountain, and the queen lives in the palace all year round, how can she be poisoned? It's not this way, it's the other way.

After Yin Xuan came, Dou Fuze and Wang Yuzhou both explained the situation in detail.

When Yin Xuan asked how the queen could be poisoned, both of them were silent.

After a while, Dou Fuze arched his hand and said: "In the early days, the emperor went to the Northern Barren Mountain with the sage and ate Qiu Xi, and the sage once said that Qiu Xi is not only a holy product for self-cultivation, but also a poison that kills people, so you should be cautious when eating. At that time, the sage had studied the poison of autumn boiling, and wrote a prescription for detoxification, at that time, it was the emperor himself who tried this poison, and tried the antidote, the emperor had eaten it, it should be very clear that the person who fell into this poison either strayed into the poisonous barrier of the Northern Wilderness Mountain, or was dissolved by Yanqi grass after eating autumn boil with skin. ”

The saint was after the death of the Queen Mother, and now the officials call her, of course, in front of Yin Xuan, and in private, they still call her the Queen Mother. Because he knew that the emperor couldn't hear the word queen mother, the officials replaced him with saints in front of him.

Back then, Yin Xuan followed Nie Qingwan to fight in Nanfeng Kingdom, and he did eat this holy fruit, and after Nie Qingwan discovered that this holy fruit was dangerous, he also did research.

It is not famous, but it is the most dry herb.

Generally, people who suffer from cold diseases, cold poison, wind invasion, dampness and other diseases related to cold characters have to have Yanqi grass as one of the medicines to cure the disease.

Of course, the herbs for dryness are not only Yanqi grass, but also others.

But only the Yanqi grass can breed the poison of the autumn heat, so after the Nanfeng Kingdom was conquered by the Great Yin, the Yanqi grass was destroyed and wiped out, and the only thing that remained was some that was once kept in the royal family.

And these are all in the smoke hall of Tuoba Mingyan now.

Tuoba Mingyan was deeply tormented by cold poison for Yin Xuan, and he was deeply tortured when he encountered a cold poison attack, Yin Xuan felt deeply ashamed of this, so he asked the Tai Hospital to send all the Yanqi grass to Yanxia Palace.

Now, except for the Yanxia Palace, there is not a single Yanqi grass to be found.

Then, Dou Fuze's words are worth pondering.

Dou Fuze is not talking nonsense, Yin Xuan himself knows very well that Chen Dedi could not fly to the Northern Barren Mountain overnight, get poisoned, and then come back to frame Tuoba Mingyan.

But this does not prove that this matter was done by Tuoba Mingyan.

Yin Xuan said: "If you know what kind of poison you have been in, then hurry up and go to the Tai Hospital to get the antidote for the queen." ”

Seeing that Yin Xuan avoided this topic, Dou Fuze didn't dare to say more, and asked Wang Yuzhou to go to the Tai Hospital to get the antidote, and when the antidote was brought and Chen Dedi took it, he had the spirit to talk to Yin Xuan.

Yin Xuan sat on the edge of the bed, Chen Dedi took his hand, and cried and said, "Your Majesty, someone wants to harm the concubine." ”

Yin Xuan patted her hand and said, "You just took the antidote, you have to rest, what's the matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Chen Dedi said: "Your Majesty, the concubines will definitely investigate this matter to the end." ”

Yin Xuan said: "Naturally, we have to investigate to the end, the queen who dares to murder me, I will not stand idly by, I will hand over these things to the criminal department, you don't have to worry, take good care of your body." ”

Chen Dedi listened to Yin Xuan's words, settled down a little, and slowly lay down to nourish her body.

With Li Yuchen and the imperial doctors guarding the queen, Yin Xuan didn't stay here anymore, he walked out, saw Tuoba Mingyan, and called her away.

When he arrived at the Yanxia Palace, before Yin Xuan opened his mouth to ask, Tuoba Mingyan had already knelt on the ground first, pulled his trouser leg and said, "Your Majesty, it wasn't made by the concubine, and the concubine's medicinal herbs are not missing." ”

Yin Xuan looked at her and sighed slowly, he reached out to pull her up, and said to her: "You tell me the truth, if you deceive me, I can't protect you." ”

Tuoba Mingyan swore an oath: "What the concubine said is true, if there is a sentence that is false, it will be struck by the thunder of the sky, and it will not be a good death." ”

Nie Qingwan, who was guarding Yin Xuan's side, listened to this, her eyes swept over Tuoba Mingyan's back, and then she withdrew it expressionlessly.

Yin Xuan said: "If you didn't do it, don't be afraid." ”

Tuoba Mingyan clasped his hand tightly, her heart was cold, she had a very bad premonition, from the day Wu Ping died in her Yanxia Royal Highness's courtyard, there seemed to be an invisible hand, controlling everything, her back was in a cold sweat, and then looked at the man in front of him, his worries about her were exhaustive, he really believed her.

Tuoba Mingyan suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged him.

At that moment, Yin Xuan looked at Nie Qingwan next to him for no reason, and had the illusion of betraying her, and he was not shocked by this thought in his heart, and his hand had automatically and spontaneously pushed away Tuoba Mingyan.

This has never been done before.

Although Yin Xuan never really pampered any concubines, including the queen, such a thing as hugging and holding hands is sometimes unavoidable, Yin Xuan will also open his arms to these concubines in order to stabilize the families of various forces in the court.

I had never felt guilty before, but now I suddenly felt guilty.

After pushing and opening up the smoke, Yin Xuan's dark brows kept frowning.

Tuoba Mingyan was stunned, seeing Yin Xuan pushing her away, she panicked in her heart, he had never pushed her away, did he not believe her? Or are you mad at her? Angry that she was inexplicably involved in right and wrong?

Tuoba Mingyan's eyes turned red, and he said with trembling lips: "Your Majesty, you still don't believe in the concubines, are you blaming the concubines?" ”

Yin Xuan rubbed his forehead, extremely angry at his thoughts and actions just now, seeing Tuoba Mingyan with red eyes and a pitiful look of being discarded, thinking about how much she had carried for him, he was extremely unbearable, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Nie Qingwan standing next to him, and that hand just couldn't reach out anymore, hugging Tuoba Mingyan and comforting her.

Yin Xuan was extremely angry, just now he really had a brain pump to let this North China Jiao keep up.

At this time, he is not a human being inside and out.

If he really stretched out his hand and hugged Tuoba Mingyan, no matter what Hua Beijiao thought, he would have a deep sense of guilt, and if he really didn't stretch out, he would lose a woman who had helped him and was devoted to him.

In a dilemma, Yin Xuan had no choice but to sit down and say to Tuoba Mingyan: "I believe in you, as long as you don't lie to me, I will keep you safe." ”

Finally, he added, "I don't blame you." ”

With Yin Xuan's words, Tuoba Mingyan's heart was completely settled.

After all, it was indeed not her who did the poisoning of the queen.

If she really did it, she wouldn't do it so blatantly, everyone in the entire palace knew that she was the only one who had Yanqi grass, how could she do it so obviously to make others suspicious?

But she thinks so, others don't.

After the Chen family heard that the queen was poisoned, they hurriedly sent Chen Yu to visit, Chen Yu saw Chen Dedi, and Chen Dedi directly pointed the finger at Tuoba Mingyan.

Chen Yu said: "It shouldn't be, it's so easy to expose yourself, Concubine Ming won't do it, she's not stupid." ”

Chen Dedi sneered: "It's just because everyone thinks like this that she dares to do it." Normal people's thinking thinks that this thing can't be done by her, she just relies on this, so fearless, if she didn't do it, who would it be? Yanqi grass is only in her womb, and it is the key to curing her disease, and she will never give it to others. ”

Chen Yu said: "If she doesn't take it, others will steal it." ”

Chen Dedi said: "Who will steal it, that medicinal material is extremely important to her, she is strictly guarded by the person she trusts the most, how can others steal it?" ”

Chen Yu reminded: "Concubine Ming is indeed very cautious, this is very similar to the Queen Mother, but don't forget, Concubine Ming trusted Pang Lin the most, so she asked him to take care of the treasury, but Pang Lin died in the last 'medicinal herb killing' incident, and now the person who takes care of the treasury is the emperor's person, not her cronies or the most trusted person." ”

Chen Dedi said: "Just because the emperor is now helping her guard the treasury, it is even more impossible for someone with a heart to steal the Yanqi grass." ”

Chen Yu thought for a while and said, "That's right, the people sent by the emperor must be very skilled." ”

Chen Dedi snorted coldly: "Anyway, whether she did this matter or not, I will let her bear this sin." In vain attempt to poison the current queen, that is to kill the head. ”

Chen Yu squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you want to take the opportunity to eradicate Concubine Ming?" ”

Chen Dedi lifted her eyelids lightly, her eyes sparkled, and she said, "Isn't this a great opportunity?" ”

Chen Yu said: "The opportunity is good, but such a good opportunity, there is always a feeling of trap, I think it is better to be careful." ”

Chen Dedi said: "Maybe it's really a trap, but in the whirlpool of power, if you don't advance, you can only retreat, any storm and danger may be the key to victory, don't take risks, how can you get what you want?" Didn't my father and mother do that? Otherwise, why does the Chen family have the scenery it has today? ”

Chen Yu smiled helplessly: "I can't talk about you." ”

Chen Dedi said: "As a queen, I can't suffer this dumb loss, otherwise it will be difficult to lead the harem in the future, not to mention, and I will be ridiculed by the people in the harem, and even let you be ridiculed in the court, so this matter must be investigated, and it must be investigated with great fanfare, and the last black hand must also point to Tuoba Mingyan." ”

Chen Yu said: "I understand. ”

After Chen Yu said that sentence, he didn't know that he had embarked on the path of death that Nie Qingwan had prepared for him, and Chen Dedi would never have thought that this was just the beginning, and later, when the people of the Chen family fell one by one, and even her position as queen was in jeopardy, she suddenly recalled today and regretted it.

But in this world, there is no regret medicine, and there is no turning back.

You have to be responsible for your own life, good and bad, good and evil, in the end, you have to pay for it.

Chen Dedi took the antidote, and after a day of rest, her body recovered.

On this night, Yin Xuan should accompany Chen Dedi in Shoude Palace, after all, the queen was poisoned today, and he should care about it, but because of Tuoba Mingyan, Yin Xuan did not come.

Of course, this is the outside world and what he wants to show to the outside world, in fact, there is a reason why he didn't go to Shoude Palace or Yanxia Hall today.

Yin Xuan stayed in his Longyang Palace, next to Li Donglou.

Yin Xuan seemed to have made up his mind not to let Nie Qingwan leave his sight for a single step, even if tonight, when he met Li Donglou in his Longyang Palace, he didn't let her retreat.

Yin Xuan sat in the dragon-shaped chaise longue and listened to Li Donglou's report.

When Li Donglou said that the queen had rewarded the high-grade concubines with some ice fruits a few days ago, and there was Qiu Xi among these ice fruits, Yin Xuan asked, "Where is Ming Guifei too?" ”

Li Donglou said: "Yes." ”

Yin Xuan looked at Nie Qingwan and asked her, "Does Concubine Ming have some rewards for you?" ”

Nie Qingwan said truthfully: "Yes." ”

Yin Xuan asked, "Is there an autumn boil?" ”

Nie Qingwan said: "Yes." ”

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you know Qiu Xi?" ”

It is impossible for ordinary people to recognize it, because Qiu Xi is the holy fruit of Nanfeng Kingdom, and later Nanfeng Kingdom was conquered by Da Yin, Qiu Xi became a tribute, and ordinary people can't see it or eat it, so it's impossible to know.

But Huabei Jiao originally belonged to the princess of the northern kingdom of Suijin, and also had dealings with the royal family of Nanfeng Kingdom, when she was in the palace of Jindong, Huandong and Huanxi had already told Nie Qingwan a lot about the past things of North China Jiao, and without asking carefully, Nie Qingwan could also speculate that Nanfeng Kingdom must have also sent Qiu Xi to the northern country of Suijin, so it is not strange that she knows it.

Nie Qingwan said: "I used to eat in the northern country of Suijin. ”

Yin Xuan nodded: "I almost forgot, you were originally the princess of the northern kingdom of Suijin." ”

Nie Qingwan said: "It's all in the past, and the slave maid is now the palace maid who serves the emperor." ”

Yin Xuan glanced at her and asked, "Then do you know that once Qiu Xi's skin is taken, and then absorbs the medicinal qi of Yanqi grass, it will breed toxins, and the mild ones will be disabled, and the heavy ones will die?" ”

Nie Qingwan said: "I didn't know before, but I was fortunate enough to go to Shoude Palace with the emperor, and after listening to the words of Imperial Doctor Dou, I know now." ”

Yin Xuan seemed to believe it, ignored her, and continued to talk to Li Donglou.

Halfway through speaking, Suihai spread the word outside the door, saying that Shangshu Gong Yongqin and Chen Yu of the Criminal Department were here.

Yin Xuan said to bring them in, and Suihai brought the two of them in.

Seeing that Nie Qingwan was also there, the two of them were stunned for a moment, but they still stepped forward to salute Yin Xuan.

Yin Xuan said: "The queen of the dignified Yin Empire has been poisoned in her own palace, and this will be laughed at and generous, no matter what method you use, you must find out, if it is still like what happened in the Yanxia Palace last time, you can't find the culprit, then the two of you will take off your official clothes and go home to farm." ”

Gong Yongqin lowered his head and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister will definitely investigate thoroughly." ”

Yin Xuan said: "If you have merit Aiqing's words, I will rest assured, I will give you ten days, if you can't find out after ten days, you will give up the position of the secretary of the criminal department and let someone else do it." ”

Gong Yongqin took a deep breath and said cautiously, "Wouldn't ten days be too short?" ”

Yin Xuan asked, "How long do you want it?" ”

Gong Yongqin said: "Twenty days." ”

Yin Xuan said: "Ten days at most, if you can't do it, then get out." ”

Gong Yongqin had no choice but to accept the order.

Yin Xuan waved his hand and let him go down.

Before Chen Yu retreated to leave, he glanced up at Nie Qingwan, originally he just wanted to see what the three heads and six arms of this insignificant Jindong county lord who was not looked at by everyone but could mix with the emperor's side had three heads and six arms, but he didn't expect that as soon as he raised his eyes, he collided with the woman's sight.

At that moment, looking at those dark pupils, Chen Yu felt a chill down his spine for no reason, and felt that he was being targeted, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was thinking too much, he had nothing to do with this Jindong county lord, what was she staring at herself?

When she looked up again, the woman had withdrawn her gaze.

It was as if the brief meeting was just an accident in a trance.

Chen Yu shook his head and walked behind Gong Yongqin.

After walking out of Longyang Palace, Gong Yongqin sighed heavily at the sky.

Chen Yu said: "What's wrong with my lord?" ”

Gong Yongqin glanced at him, shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked outside the palace gate.

Chen Yu quickened his pace to keep up, and after he followed, he said: "My lord is worried that this incident will be like the 'herb murder' case, and the real culprit behind the scenes will not be found?" ”

Gong Yongqin said: "I have been sitting in the position of the secretary of the criminal department for three years, although three years is not a long time, but it is not short, and before this, I sat in your current position, at that time, my top boss was Nie Bei, he was younger than me, but he was more ruthless and persecutive than me, and he had a great talent for solving cases, with him, I feel that there is no unsolvable case in this world, and I also feel that solving cases is a very interesting and easy thing." But in a blink of an eye, the Nie family withdrew from the court, and I was also arrested, occupied the boss's nest, and became the secretary of the criminal department. In my experience, the queen's poisoning is like the 'herb killing' incident in Yanxia Palace, and I can't find the real culprit in the end, so I can only pull a substitute for the ghost. ”

Chen Yu said: "Then this substitute ghost, can the adult choose someone?" ”

Gong Yongqin looked at him and asked, "Yuan Yun thinks, who is the most suitable?" ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "Whoever the adults think is the most suitable, then whoever is the most suitable." ”

Gong Yongqin said: "You and I don't have to play this kind of official tone, let's be honest, after the news of the queen's poisoning came out of the Shoude Palace, I felt that this time it was a big trouble, the last time he died was just a sprinkle eunuch, no pain, no itch, no harm, the emperor also has the meaning of calming people, and Pang Lin still has a murder record, Ming Guifei is the first, so she can only eat Huanglian dumbly, and watch her own people go to death to complete the case. But this time the queen's matter is not so simple, although from the analysis of many conditions, the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be Ming Guifei, but there is no real evidence, it is difficult to arrest her, especially, the emperor is very pampering Ming Guifei, I just have the heart to cure her crimes, and I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”

Chen Yu listened to Gong Yongqin's words, smiled in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being promoted to Shangshu, no matter what his ability was, at least, this eyesight was really not comparable to ordinary people, as soon as the case came out, he immediately analyzed the pros and cons and stood firm.

Chen Yu said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, as long as you come up with real evidence, no matter who it is, the emperor will not follow his own interests, at this point, I believe that adults will not doubt it." ”

Gong Yongqin said: "Of course, the emperor is a Ming monarch and has always acted according to the law. ”

Chen Yu said: "That's easy, let's just go find evidence." ”

Gong Yongqin said: "It's getting late, and I'm not in a hurry to find evidence at this time, go home and sleep well, and wait for tomorrow morning, let's go to the Yanxia Palace, check and check, although the Yanqi grass is in the Yanxia Palace, it is going to appear in the Shoude Palace, and it is also close to the queen, and it happens to appear after the queen eats the autumn boil, it really has to be carefully calculated, even if this person knows that the Yanqi grass can cause the toxins in the autumn boil skin, but how can he guess when the queen will eat the autumn boil?" From this point of view, the people around the queen are also a little suspicious. ”

Gong Yongqin said, frowned, and walked outside the palace gate again.

He only felt that this case was far more troublesome than the one in the Yanxia Hall last time.

He thought a little melancholy, what happened to the harem recently, and there was a feeling of wind and rain.

Gong Yongqin sighed lightly and walked out of the palace gate.

Chen Yu didn't leave, he was still standing in place, thinking about what Gong Yongqin said just now, Gong Yongqin was right, Yanqi grass was in Yanxia Palace, even if he could run to Shoude Palace to poison the queen, he had to eat it with skin after the queen ate the autumn slip.

If you don't eat the autumn slip with the skin, it is useless to have the Yanqi grass.

If the queen eats the autumn slip with the skin, the Yanqi grass does not appear in time, and it is useless.

So, the suspense comes, how did that person know that the queen's habit of eating autumn slips is to eat it with belt meat?

Of course, this may not be a secret.

Recently, the weather is hot, I get up early in the morning and feel the heat on my body, the queen is afraid of heat, and loves to eat cold fruits, in the morning the concubines go to ask for peace, and they have to see her eat the autumn slip with a belt.

But even if this person knows the queen's habit of eating autumn slips, how can he know when the queen will eat it?

Except for the people who are close to her, others shouldn't know, right?

Chen Yu squinted his eyes, and after thinking about this in his heart, he entered the palace earlier than Gong Yongqin the next day, went to Shoude Palace first, and told Chen Dedi all the words of Gong Yongqin last night and his own guesses.

After hearing this, Chen Dedi hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You know, the people who serve me are all brought from the Chen family, whether it is He Pinxiang or Caifang, they are very loyal to me, it is impossible for them to harm me, and there are only two of them who can serve me closely, and the rest of the palace maids basically don't have that chance, even if someone is bought, it is in vain." ”

Chen Yu said: "If it weren't for the palace maid next to you, then this matter would be more and more suspenseful, Gong Yongqin was right, even if that person calculated everything, how could he know when you ate Qiuxi?" If it weren't for someone close to you, you wouldn't be so precise. ”

Chen Dedi clasped her fingers on the handle of the phoenix chair, squinted the corners of her eyes and thought for a while, and said: "I didn't tolerate the heat when I met the concubines who asked for peace in the morning, I ate a autumn slip on an empty stomach, and later drank cold water, my stomach was not uncomfortable at that time, but after they all dispersed, my stomach began to ache and feel uncomfortable. ”

Chen Yu asked: "Who were the people who asked for peace at that time?" ”

Chen Dedi said: "As usual, there is no more, and no less one. ”

Chen Yu said: "You had a stomach trouble after they left, during the time period between their departure and the arrival of the Imperial Doctor, did you smell the medicinal fragrance of Yanqi grass?" ”

Chen Dedi frowned: "Yan Qi Cao has been sealed in the Tai Hospital, when the Queen Mother was in power, because she knew that Yan Qi Cao was the trigger for triggering the toxin of the autumn fruit peel, this herb has been banned, at that time I had not entered the palace, I have never seen it, I have never smelled it, and then I entered the palace, this herb was given to Tuoba Ming Yan by the emperor, and I have no chance to look at it and smell it, you ask me if I have smelled the medicinal fragrance of Yan Qi Cao, isn't this a vain question, I don't even know what kind of fragrance Yan Qi grass is." ”

Chen Yu choked slightly, stroked his forehead and sighed: "Yes." ”

Chen Dedi said: "Did Tuoba Mingyan bring Yanqi grass with him when he came to ask me for peace, and then caused me to be poisoned?" ”

Chen Yu said: "I don't rule out this possibility, but Yanqi grass is sealed in the treasury, even if Tuoba Mingyan is the master of Yanxia Palace, she wants to take this Yanxia Grass, she also has to open the warehouse, and now, the person in charge of her Yanxia Palace's treasury is Ye Zhun, Ye Zhun is only loyal to the emperor, if Tuoba Mingyan really takes the herb, the emperor will know when he asks, then she is equivalent to digging her own grave, she is not so stupid." ”

Chen Dedi frowned and said, "Who could that be?" ”

I always feel that this thing is very confusing, I don't think it's terrible if I don't think about it deeply, and when I think about it deeply, I feel a feeling of infinite horror in my heart.

For some reason, the matter of 'medicinal herbs killing people' came to mind again.

Although the case was closed, in fact, the person behind the scenes was not found.

Although Chen Dedi really wanted to attribute the case to Tuoba Ming's cigarette butts, she knew very well in her heart that that incident was not done by Tuoba Mingyan, firstly, the medicinal materials were very important to Tuoba Mingyan, and she would never take them out as a demon, if she folded the medicinal materials because of this, she would lose more than she gained, and secondly, Wu Ping was her own person, if Tuoba Mingyan really did that, Wu Ping would definitely report to herself as soon as possible, and thirdly, Tuoba Mingyan finally lost one of his closest people, so that incident was definitely not done by Tuoba Mingyan.

And Chen Dedi knows better that that thing was not done by herself.

So, who is it?

Gorgeous people?

Chen Dedi squinted, but did not tell Chen Yu this idea, before the medicinal herb murder, she had asked Wu Ping to deliberately pass on the inside story of the Yanxia Hall to Nie Qingwan, and then Wu Ping died, Pang Lin had an accident, and then a medicinal herb appeared out of thin air.

To say that this thing was not done by Huamei, Chen Dedi really doesn't believe it.

Because the timing was too coincidental.

But if it was really done by Huamei, Chen Dedi didn't believe it.

Because how can she be so seamless?

So, if it's not a gorgeous person, who would this person be?

Yesterday she was poisoned, was it also from that person's hand?

And in the harem, who can poison her Shoude Palace without being detected, except for herself, who else can do it?

Oh no, she can't even do it herself, because she doesn't have the herb.

So, who can freely enter and leave her palace and have Yanqi grass, except for Tuoba Mingyan?

It seems that there is an answer that is about to come out, but Chen Dedi really can't believe it.

In this palace, except for the emperor, no one can do this.

Although the master in the Yanxia Palace is Tuoba Mingyan, in fact, this harem and even the entire Dayin are subordinate to the emperor, and furthermore, Yanqi grass is sealed in the treasury, and now it is the emperor's person who guards the treasury.

Chen Dedi didn't dare to think about it further, she only felt that the more she thought about it, the more weird it became, and the uneasiness and fear in her heart were also infinitely magnified, how could she doubt the emperor, the emperor had never been to her Shoude Palace in the past few days, including before she was poisoned today.

Chen Dedi took a deep breath and said to Chen Yu: "After the last 'medicinal materials' incident, I and Concubine Ming are incompatible, and this time it seems to be a game against Concubine Ming, you say, in this harem, who wants me to fight with Concubine Ming to the death?" ”

Chen Yu thought for a moment and said, "Concubine Chen? ”

Chen Dedi said: "No, it's the emperor." ”

Chen Yu was shocked.

Chen Dedi said: "Don't be alarmed, this is something we all know well, but the emperor has the heart to let me and Concubine Ming not get along, but he will not do such a thing, let alone poison me, if he really wants to deal with me, he will definitely be clear, let me know where I provoked him, so, this matter, it is really someone else, you must investigate it carefully, maybe you can solve the unsolved case of 'medicinal herb killing', and win glory for my Chen family." ”

Chen Yu said: "I'll try my best." ”

Chen Dedi nodded, and after hearing He Pinxiang's knock on the door, she waved her hand to let Chen Yu go.

Chen Yu first went to the court, and then together with Gong Yongqin, he took some officials from the Criminal Department to Yanxia Palace.

Gong Yongqin first went to check the warehouse of Tuoba Mingyan, recorded the amount of Yanqi grass in the warehouse of Tuoba Mingyan, and then took it to the Tai Hospital for comparison.

He didn't dare to report it for the time being, and led the troops to the courtyard of the other concubines who had been given ice fruits by the queen, interrogated, and asked Chen Yu to check the treasury of these concubines to see if there was any Yanqi grass.

Returning to the criminal department platform melancholy, Gong Yongqin drank tea sullenly, always feeling that the black gauze hat on his head was going to be lost.

Chen Yu saw that he looked lifeless, and said: "My lord, although the amount of Yanqi grass in Ming Guifei's warehouse is the same as the number of Yanqi grass out of the Tai Hospital, it doesn't mean that Ming Guifei has not touched it, she can put it back after moving Yanqi Cao, so that she will not know it, I think I still have to judge Ye Zhun." ”

Ye Zhun is the emperor's person, Gong Yongqin really doesn't want to pass it on, but this is the case handling process, if you don't want to, you have to think about it, Gong Yongqin said: "You go and bring people." ”

Chen Yu replied yes and went down to take Ye Zhun.

Ye Zhun came, Gong Yongqin asked if Concubine Ming had sent someone to the treasury to get the Yanqi grass yesterday, Ye Zhun said no, and Gong Yongqin asked if there were any suspicious people in and out of the warehouse recently.

Ye Zhun said: "I didn't have it during my duty, but I don't dare to guarantee whether anyone has been there when I was resting." ”

Although Ye Zhun was sent by Yin Xuan's envoy to guard the treasury of Yanxia Palace, he was not guarding around the clock twelve hours a day, he also had to rest, he was only on duty during the day, and he would finish work and rest at night.

Gong Yongqin asked Chen Yu to write down this, and waved Ye Zhun away.

After Ye Zhun left, Gong Yongqin looked dejected.

Chen Yu glanced at him, stared at the offering, and said slowly: "My lord, this really sounds like an unsolved case, but we can't use the unsolved case anymore, otherwise this black gauze hat on his head will really not be able to keep it." Since this incident is very involved with Concubine Ming, it is better to break through from here. ”

Gong Yongqin looked at him and was speechless.

Chen Yu didn't say anything about it.

Gong Yongqin said in a low voice: "It's only the first day, the time limit given by the emperor is ten days, and there are nine days left, don't worry, even if you want to convict the concubine, you have to find evidence." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "What the adults said is true. ”

Gong Yongqin really wants to tie up the Chen family, but if he can find out the real murderer behind the scenes, he is willing to investigate, but if he can't find it, then he has to pit Ming Guifei, who makes her weak.

At first, Gong Yongqin was not in a hurry, but after three days and no progress was made, he was a little anxious.

He was anxious not only because he didn't find any clues of the real murderer, but even the evidence of blaming Concubine Ming was extremely difficult to collect, he held his forehead with a headache, pinched the details of the case in his hand, struggled and thought for a whole afternoon, and finally decided to go to Nie Bei.

That was the only hope he could see now.

In Gong Yongqin's eyes, there is no case in this world that Nie Bei can't solve.

Originally, Nie Bei would not meet him.

It's just that after having that letter and those two purses, the Nie family has no plans to escape from the world again, so taking the opportunity of Gong Yongqin to ask for help to explore the road first is a very good and extremely appropriate start.

So, Nie Bei met with Gong Yongqin.

Gong Yongqin was overjoyed and overjoyed, as soon as he entered the pavilion, he saw Nie Beiduan sitting there, holding a pot and pouring tea, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted respectfully as usual: "My lord!" ”

Nie Bei's hand pouring tea paused slightly, and in the next second, the teapot rose into the air and smashed straight towards Gong Yongqin.

Gong Yongqin was frightened and withdrew.

The teapot fell out of thin air, and the sound of metal hitting the slate sounded harshly.

The pot was not broken, but the lid was broken by this high-altitude falling posture, and the cool water gurgled outward, staining the white floor, and was soon dried by the night wind, and evaporated on the hot stone floor.

After Gong Yongqin stood still, he looked up at Nie Bei, who was silent as a mountain in the pavilion, and his heart trembled.

After Nie Bei did that, as if he was fine, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and then said gently: "Next time, if you call it wrong, it's not as simple as a warning." ”

Gong Yongqin's forehead was sweating, and he wanted to wipe it but didn't dare, so he had to say again and again: "Yes, yes, I lost my words." ”

Nie Beidao: "Come to me today, what's the matter?" ”

Gong Yong swallowed his saliva, carefully stepped over the teapot, and came to the outer edge of the pavilion, he wanted to go up the steps, but now he really didn't dare, so he stood on the outer edge and took out the case from his sleeve pocket.

Nie Bei frowned.

Gong Yongqin said: "Recently, a strange case happened in the palace, which is really suspenseful, so I want to ask Gongzi Nie to take a look." ”

Nie Beidao: "You have found the wrong person, my Nie Mansion has not asked about the court for many years, and it is impossible to help you deal with the strange cases of the harem, it is getting late, please go back, I will also rest." ”

After Nie Bei finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Gong Yongqin was in a hurry, and chased after him with his pants, only to find that there was still a person standing at the bottom, it was Nie Bei's entourage, named Bolu, this person was the same as Nie Bei, and it was not easy to provoke.

After being stopped by Bolu, Gong Yongqin didn't dare to chase after him, he watched Nie Bei leave in front of him, but he couldn't do anything.

Bo Luke politely chased away the guest: "Master Gong, please go back." ”

Gong Yongqin had no choice but to go out first.

And not long after, Nie Bei held the case that Gong Yongqin had just taken out in his hand, Nie Bei was leaning on the long couch by the window, supporting his jaw with one hand and turning over the scroll with the other.

Bolu stood aside and asked, "What was written, is it really an open case?" ”

Nie Beidao: "There are no unsolved cases in this world, only unsolvable cases, and not being able to solve it does not mean that it cannot be solved, and it can be solved but cannot be solved, which only proves that it is not smart enough." ”

After he finished speaking, he threw the scroll to Bolu: "See for yourself." ”

Bo Lu took his hand, stood there and looked at it, and after reading him, he said: "It's really suspenseful, if it weren't for the young master, you went to intercept two purses, knowing that those two purses were filled with Yanqi grass, and this case was handed over to you, you would also have a headache." ”

Nie Beidao: "That's true, such a meticulous plan, I'm afraid that Zhuge won't be able to break it in the next life, the key is that Yan Qicao was once hung on Dou Fuze, Dou Fuze, as the head of the Tai Hospital, it is impossible not to tell that what is in the purse is harmful to the queen, but why does he still wear it?" ”

Bolu said: "He wants to harm the queen." ”

Nie Bei looked at him: "The idea is very strange, but very stupid, the Dou family is Dou Yanxi's mother's family, Dou Yanxi is Chen Dedi's grandmother, the Dou family and the Chen family are one, one is prosperous, one is lost, Dou Fuze will not be stupid enough to do such a lame thing, then there is only one possibility, Dou Fuze's sense of smell is not normal, but he is a hospital president, and his sense of smell is deaf, how can he see people and prescribe medicine to distinguish medicinal materials?" ”

Nie Bei stroked his chin and shook his head from side to side, puzzled.

But this is not his case, and he can't figure it out and don't force it, he said: "Return the scroll, Gong Yongqin should be home at this time, don't let him find out." ”

Bolu answered yes and walked away with the scroll.

When he came back, Nie Bei had already fallen asleep, and he also returned to his room and slept.

Li Donglou was ordered by Yin Xuan to secretly investigate the people of Chunming Academy, and the main targets of the investigation were Wang Yunyao, Huandong and Huanxi, as for Nie Qingwan, she had been stared at by Yin Xuan, and Li Donglou would not care about it.

Li Donglou, the person who had been in contact with the little master of Chunming Courtyard, had secretly checked, and there was nothing suspicious.

Only this Wang Yunyao, he felt very suspicious.

People who practice martial arts, especially those who are masters look at masters, are nine out of ten.

Although Wang Yunyao hid her internal strength, and her walking steps were scattered, she didn't look like a master at all, her actions were like the wind, and her steps were calm, but Li Donglou just stared at her.

Wang Yunyao noticed the sight of secretly peeping, and didn't know who this person was or what he wanted, so he just didn't know.

Li Donglou secretly asked other palace maids and eunuchs in Chunming Courtyard, and asked if Steward Wang had been to the treasury recently, and everyone said no, Li Donglou went to ask Ye Zhun again, and Ye Zhun also said no.

Li Donglou said: "You are good to observe this Wang Steward, and if there is anything abnormal, you will report to me as soon as possible." ”

Ye Zhun said, "Hmm" and said, "Could it be that your lordship, you suspect that the queen's poisoning is related to this king's steward?" He smiled, "It's impossible, since I came to Yanxia Palace, I found that this Wang steward is very disciplined, her master is gone, she will take Huandong and Huanxi every day to ask Ming Guifei for peace, and then accompany Ming Guifei there, and then return to Chunming Courtyard, doing her own thing, no matter who does it, I believe it, you say it's her, but I don't believe it." ”

Li Donglou said: "I don't know my heart but I don't know my face, and this person, how do you know that you know her face?" Let you stare at her, you just stare at it, don't talk so much nonsense. ”

Although Ye Zhun felt that this was an extra move, but seeing that the adults were so cautious, he had no choice but to do so.

Li Donglou went to report to Yin Xuan, Yin Xuan is in the imperial study at the moment, this is the sixth day after the queen's poisoning, and there are still three days, if the criminal department of this case cannot be solved, then Gong Yongqin and Chen Yu will both be taken off their black gauze hats.

Yin Xuan is not in a hurry, and Nie Qingwan is even less anxious.

Yin Xuan has been staying in Longyang Palace for the past five days, and every night, Suihai is no longer close to serving, it is Nie Qingwan who is waiting, and after serving Yin Xuan to sleep, she herself is also used as a meat cushion pillow, hugged by Yin Xuan, and she can't move all night.

At first, I wasn't used to it, but after a few days of sharing a bed, I got used to it.

Anyway, she is a casual character, as long as she can sleep well, she can sleep anywhere, give him some sweetness to eat first, and then take his life, but she is also worthy of her bad nature.

Nie Qingwan stood by the dragon case to study ink, and after Li Donglou asked to come in, he glanced at her face, Yin Xuan waved his hand and let Nie Qingwan go out.

Waiting for the door to close, Yin Xuan asked, "Have the people from Chunming Courtyard found out?" ”

Li Donglou said: "It has been investigated, and there is no suspicion." ”

Yin Xuan said: "So far, there has been no progress on Gong Yongqin's side, so it seems that this case will be the same as last time, and it will become an unsolved case again." ”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a cold and playful smile: "There is a master in the palace." ”

He looked out the door.

The door was closed, and he couldn't see the shadow of the county lord of Jindong, but he could imagine that she must have lowered her eyebrows at the moment, gentle and quiet, and not surprised.

Li Donglou was surprised: "Master? ”

Yin Xuan said: "Yes, she entered the palace, probably to have a game with me, I haven't met such a master for many years, I'm really excited, you don't have to worry about me, go check Xian Bi." ”

Li Donglou was surprised again, "Huh? He said, "Doctor Xian? ”

Yin Xuan said: "Exactly, maybe he is the most important breakthrough." ”

Li Donglou squinted, answered yes, and left.

After Li Donglou left, Yin Xuan called Nie Qingwan into the imperial study again, he looked at the excerpts and criticized the folds, she studied the ink, the two did not speak, and neither looked at anyone, each focused on their own things.

When it was time for lunch, Yin Xuan asked Yushanfang to serve a snack, which was Nie Qingwan's favorite dim sum in her life, corn cakes.

Nie Qingwan looked at the golden and salivating corn cake, closed her eyes, and silently read in her heart, you must hold back, don't lose to a plate of corn cake, and lose the face of the queen mother.

But I want to eat it!

Just smelling that scent, she couldn't wait to pounce on it.

Others love the country, beauty, and beautiful men, but she only loves corn cakes, which shows how deep her 'attachment' is.

Yin Xuan didn't notice her abnormality at first, but later he found out, seeing her frequently looking at the plate of pastries, staring like a wolf, he smiled and asked, "Want to eat?" ”

Nie Qingwan really wanted to eat it, she wanted to think about it very much, but she insisted on not letting herself say that thought, no one in the world didn't know what this pastry was called, but all the people of the Great Yin Empire, whether they were submissive or local, knew that the former Queen Mother loved this kind of pastry, although this kind of pastry was later listed as a prohibited product, but who didn't know it?

As the lord of Jindong, he also knows it.

I should have eaten it before.

Whether the county lord of Jindong likes to eat corn cakes Nie Qingwan doesn't know, and Yin Xuan doesn't know, but she loves it herself.

However, in front of Yin Xuan, she wouldn't say it.

Nie Qingwan shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat it." ”

Yin Xuan said: "If you want to eat, just say it, I will reward you with a piece." ”

Nie Qingwan said: "Thank you, Emperor, but the slave really doesn't want to eat." ”

Yin Xuan said: "Then you always look here?" Didn't you want to eat that pastry, weren't you secretly watching me? ”
