After Jiang Ji left, the queen turned her head sideways and instructed Ji Chuan: "The people in the Yilan Hall are locked up, you go and take a look to see if you can ask for clues about the source of the poison." ”

"Besides, don't gossip about this."

Ji Chuan glanced at the queen's expression, then lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "The slave understands." After speaking, he left the Yilan Hall lightly.

The queen also ordered Yang Pingfu, the commander of the patrol battalion, and the officials of the six cabinet departments to enter the palace.

The cabinet and the six ministries soon arrived, and when they learned that the emperor had been poisoned, they were all stunned.

But what made them even more confused was the queen's words.

Someone is going to raise troops to rebel during the emperor's poisoning??

This... What do you mean by that? Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?

Everyone was sneering in their hearts, and their eyes looked at the face of Lu Huaiping, the secretary of the military department.

Lu Huaiping was panicked by the eyes of everyone and the queen, licked his dry lips, he shook his hand steadily, and said: "Weichen is stupid, and I haven't received any news of any changes in the major camps yet. ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became a little strange, they looked at each other, and glanced at the queen from time to time, but they didn't dare to speak rashly.

The queen understood what these people were thinking.

Even if she is questioned temporarily, she must not let up and give in!

"Did you not receive it, or did you not report it?"

She asked in a deep voice.

Lu Huaiping was stunned, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Weichen will go investigate." ”

Seeing that he was leaving, the queen said again: "Now that everyone knows about it is in this palace, if Lu Shangshu shows a trace outside, it will cause irreparable consequences to today's situation, and the result, Lu Shangshu understands, right?" ”

Lu Huaiping was shocked, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and nodded: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

In the Yilan Palace, the unknowing little emperor and grandson and the mother and son of Princess Xiang were invited into the palace.

The crown princess came forward to appease.

Jiang Lingran went to the palace and saw the emperor lying on the kang.

Xiao Fuzi stood aside, saw Jiang Lingran coming in, and asked in a low voice, "What does Marquis Wen Jing command?" ”

Jiang Lingran said: "Can you find out what the emperor ate after entering the Yilan Palace, and what did he drink?" ”

Xiaofuzi said: "I found it, but... It's kind of weird. ”

Jiang Lingran said: "What's weird? ”

Xiao Fuzi asked Jiang Lingran to dip it to the side, and said in a low voice: "Because of the poisoning of the lady concubine, the emperor did not dare to let the palace maids of the Yilan Palace make tea for the emperor. ”

"There are two cups of tea in total, one each for the emperor and the queen."

"Right now, the emperor is poisoned, but the queen has nothing to do."

Jiang Lingran glanced at Xiao Fuzi when he heard this.

Xiao Fuzi pursed his lips and said, "The slave can't find someone to believe." ”

"Where's your master?"

"Tea is made by minions." "Even if you say this, the one who doesn't die is a minion."

"Don't think about it." Jiang Lingran said softly.

The emperor and the queen drank tea together, the emperor was poisoned, but the queen was fine, this matter is said, combined with the current situation, the queen's crime of stealing the country must be confirmed.

But Jiang Lingran didn't believe that the queen would be so stupid.

"Even if the queen wants to do this, why not wait for the prince to return to Beijing?"

"With such a busy job, it is very likely that he made a wedding dress for someone else!"

She shook her head lightly: "The gains outweigh the losses." ”

The queen is fine, then prove that the tea is okay... After Concubine Shu was poisoned, everyone pointed the finger at the imperial dining room, but this Yilan Hall did not do much scrutiny.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the objects in this temple?!

Jiang Lingran thought in his heart and walked back again, and asked the palace maid Kaiyun: "Where did the lady sit when she was poisoned?" ”

When such a thing happened, everyone in the Yilan Hall was panicked, and when Kaiyun heard this, he raised his eyes timidly and glanced at Jiang Lingran, and then pointed to the kang where the emperor was lying, and said: "Concubine Shuniang sat there eating snacks, and she vomited blood as soon as she ate the second piece." ”

Jiang Lingran frowned, and asked in a low voice, "What about before eating snacks?" What did the lady do? ”

Kaiyun sniffed, wiped away his tears, and choked up: "Concubine Shuniang is copying scriptures and praying for the victims of the disaster in Shu. ”

Jiang Lingran followed Kaiyun's fingers and saw the scriptures on the kang table that he hadn't had time to put away.... and a small porcelain jar with azure glaze shallow mouth on the kang table, in which a snow-white bowl lotus blooms vividly.

A strange feeling surged in her heart, and she squinted and wondered, "This season, how can there be a lotus flower?" ”

Keyun said: "Niangniang likes lotus, the emperor's grace, specially let the flower room cultivate and send it, and it has never been interrupted." ”

Jiang Lingran said: "How long has this strain been delivered?" ”

Kering didn't know why she was bothered about this bowl of lotus, but she still replied, "I sent it yesterday evening." ”

Jiang Lingran said: "It bloomed when it was sent?" ”

Kaiyun shook his head and said, "The flowers bloomed this morning, Niangniang is very happy, and I have been watching it for a while." ”

Jiang Lingran paused for a while, and suddenly said, "The emperor also watched it today, right?" ”

Kaiyun was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Lingran with wide eyes and said, "How does Marquis Wen Jing know? ”

Jiang Lingran said: "You go on." ”

Kaiyun said: "The emperor is worried about my mother, in addition to seeing the imperial doctor in the inner hall, he is sitting here to read scriptures and read the bowl lotus." ”

Jiang Lingran nodded thoughtfully, and walked towards the kang.

Gao Desheng saw Jiang Lingran coming to the kang step by step, and wondered in his heart, when did she not understand the rules and manners so much? Just as he was about to stop her, he said, "Is it possible that the poison did not enter the body through the mouth?" ”

The busy imperial doctor stopped when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Lingran in surprise.

Ye Hui said: "Did Marquis Wen Jing find something?" ”

"Don't you think this water lily bloom too vividly?" Jiang Lingran said: "It's weird." ”

Gao Desheng was stunned when he heard this: "What does Marquis Wen Jing mean by this?" ”

Jiang Lingran said: "I heard Aunt Kaiyun say that this bowl of lotus was sent to Yilan Hall yesterday evening. ”

"The flowers bloomed this morning, and the lady was very happy, and she watched it for a while, and copied the scriptures next to it."

"And after the emperor entered the Yilan Palace, except for the inner hall, he sat on this kang. The same appreciation of the bowl lotus and the scriptures. ”

"Are these coincidences?"

Everyone frowned when they heard this, and looked at Wanlian with scrutinizing eyes.

Ye Hui stepped forward and picked up the shallow porcelain jar, first sniffed, and then dipped his fingers in the water in the jar and tasted it, all shaking his head.

Jiang Lingran looked at the water lily and frowned: "This stamen..." ”

Hearing this, Ye Hui looked at the stamens of the water lily: "Did Marquis Wen Jing find anything?" ”

Jiang Lingran said: "The stamens of the water lily are like the fairy lucidum in the chrysanthemum variety, which is golden-wired, but it is only similar in shape, because the top of the stamen will be pressed with a little white. ”

"But the stamens of this water lily are not white, but only golden."

Ye Hui is a person who only knows how to study medicinal materials all his life, and he doesn't understand what Jiang Lingran said, and when he heard this, he approached the water lily, but he couldn't see anything.
