After such a toss, people were tired, and the toxicity was not dissipated, so I cried and cried in Qi Jin's arms and fell asleep. Qi Jin put me on the bed, told Xi'er to take care of it, and then asked Wang Xi to take the bottle of spring flowers sent by Shi'er, and walked out of the Moju Garden with a heavy face, and went straight to Kunning Palace. Before the eunuchs at the gate of Kunning Palace had time to say goodbye, Qi Jin had already crossed them and went to the door. Inside the house, the queen mother was instructing someone to prepare soup and send it to the Qianqing Palace later. When she saw Qi Jin, the queen was overjoyed, came to her son, and said to the grandmother beside her:

"Go and bring the white fungus lotus seed soup that was just stewed in the morning."

Mama received the order to go down, and Qi Jin asked An Dao:

"Say hello to the emperor."

The queen pulled Qi Jin up:

"Good boy, come here." After pulling to the side and sitting down on the couch, the queen asked:

"All the government affairs have been taken care of?"

"Yes, the retainers came here because they wanted to ask the Pope."

"What's the matter?"

Speaking of this, Qi Jin said to the other palace maids and eunuchs in the room:

"Go down, all of you." When everyone left, Qi Jin let Wang Xi in, holding the bottle of spring flowers in his hand. When the queen saw this flower, she smiled and said:

"This flower is good, a few days ago, the palace also specially rewarded the concubines and princesses of each palace. By the way, Nian Huan also sent a bottle there. As she spoke, the queen carefully looked at the vase of flowers:

"Hey, why does this vase look like it was sent out by the main palace?"

Wang Xi was holding this vase, and the queen walked to Wang Xi's side as she spoke, and was about to reach out to touch the spring flower, Wang Xi shouted as soon as she was nervous:

"Queen Mother!"

This sound also reminded Qi Jin, and Qi Jin hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the queen, so that the queen's hand did not touch the spring flower.

"Huang Eniang!"

The exclamations of the two people one after the other frightened the queen:

"What's wrong with you two?"

Wang Xi looked at Qi Jin and didn't dare to talk casually. Qi Jin then said:

"Huang Eniang, this vase of flowers is the one sent from your palace to the Moju Garden. Nian Huan has been sleepy for the past few days, and when he returned after greeting the imperial grandmother this morning, he collapsed in the corridor. ”

As soon as the queen heard that Nian Huan had an accident, she hurriedly asked:

"But have you seen it to the Imperial Doctor? Is there a big deal? What is the reason? ”

"The imperial doctor found a colorless and odorless poisonous powder of the Western Regions on this vase of flowers, people have been sniffing for a long time, and it is a symptom of drowsiness at the beginning, and in severe cases, the heart and lungs will be damaged, and even fatal."

After Qi Jin finished speaking, the queen's face could be described as very ugly:

"This, this is poisoning?"

Qi Jin nodded and asked:

"Does the Queen Mother know who did it?"

The queen shook her head:

"This flower, the six palaces have all been rewarded, and they are all sent by Shi'er, the personal maid of the palace. At present, everything in the other palaces is fine, why is this happening to Mo Juyuan alone? On Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor just pointed out to you a marriage, could it be that it is for this marriage? Who's trying to make a meme out of this? ”

"As the queen mother said, this flower went out from Kunning Palace, and now that the imperial doctor has diagnosed Nian Huan poisoning, I am afraid that it has been reported to Huang Ama at this time, Huang Eniang, how to deal with this matter?"

"This trick is too ruthless, if your emperor Ama thinks that I did it, it will divide the feelings of the emperor and queen; If you think it's me, you'll be torn apart from the friendship between you and me. If Nian Huan thinks that it is me, it will definitely affect the relationship between you and Nian Huan, killing three birds with one stone. Jin'er, if you think about this matter carefully, the biggest beneficiary is the person who poisoned it. ”

Qi Jin pondered for a while and asked:

"Do you know who the emperor is?"

The queen shook her head:

"I don't know."

"Since it was a flower sent by Shi'er, let her come to her and ask who she had contacted before the flower was sent to Moju Garden, and whether anyone had done anything in advance."

Shi'er was carried into the house. Before Qi Jin could speak, when Shi'er saw the spring flower in Wang Xi's hand, she immediately knelt on the ground with a panicked face:

"Here, please say hello to the mother and the prince."

"What are you panicking about?" Qi Jin could see at a glance that something was wrong with Shi'er.

"Slave, slave, slave......"

"This palace asked you, let you go to the sixth palace to send spring flowers that day, but did you meet anyone?"

"Return, will be the master, that day, that day the slave and maid to the palace maids

I didn't meet anyone when I delivered the flowers, but on the way to the Moju Garden, I met ......"

Shi'er couldn't speak clearly, Qi Jin was in a hurry and became angry:

"Who did you meet, but what did you do!"

"Slave, slave met Prince Rong."

"Second brother." Qi Jin was stunned for a moment, and the queen asked on the side:

"Prince Rong, and then?"

"Lord Wang...... Niangniang, Niangniang spares her life, the slave and maid are forced, the prince said, if I don't do what he says, I will kill the slave and maid! ”

Qi Jin glared angrily, and shouted in a deep voice word by word:

"What did you do?"

Shi'er sat down on her knees in fright, and wept and said:

"The prince handed me a small porcelain vase, and asked me to sprinkle the contents on the flowers and send it to the Moju Garden......"

"Do you know what you are saying now......

"Lord Wang, the slave maid is true every word, and there is no lie! The prince is clear! ”

Qi Jin was dull for a long time, and said to the queen:

"Huang Eniang, since this flower was sent out from Kunning Palace, and now it has been brought back, you can deal with it, as for you," Qi Jin looked at Shi'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a sharp look in his eyes:

"Huang Eniang, the palace maid in the palace was poisoned, this person can't be kept?"

When Shi'er heard this, her face turned white with fright, and she burst into tears when she opened her mouth:

"The prince spares his life! The prince spares his life! It's Prince Rong, Prince Rong asked me to do it! ”

"You keep saying that it is the second brother's instigation, this king asks you, Prince Rong is now in the political country, if he ascends to the throne of the crown prince one day, do you think your words today will make you end well?"

At this moment, Qi Jin is something that the queen has never seen, his son has grown so big, he has always been respectful and courteous, and he is kind to others, and his expression at this moment is like a changed person, with a ruthlessness that he has never seen before. When the queen saw Shi'er looking at her, she asked:

"You said it was Prince Rong's order, but there is evidence?"

Shi'er shook his hand and took out a white porcelain bottle from his bosom and said:

"This is a bottle of poison that Prince Rong gave to his slaves."

The grandmother beside the queen stepped forward and took it from Shi'er's hand, and wanted to take it to the queen. Qi Jin stood up, walked up to Mama, and took the evidence in her hand.

"There's poison in there?" Qi Jin opened the white bottle as she spoke, and Shi'er had already cried into tears, looking at Qi Jin with teary eyes:

"Back to the prince, the slave and maid know that such things will be punished by heaven, and there is still a mother in the family to support, even if it is for her old man's virtue, the slave and maid have not used up all of them according to what Prince Rong said, and now there is poison in this bottle."

"Accumulate virtue? It seems that he is really accumulating virtue. If you remember to accumulate virtue for your mother, you will not do such harmful things! ”

Qi Jin roared angrily, Shi'er cried even more, and the queen was also frightened by Qi Jin. Qi Jin stretched out his hand, and Wang Xi on the side took the tea bowl on the table, lifted the lid, and handed it to Qi Jin. Qi Jin slowly poured the powder in the bottle, and the original color of the tea in the tea bowl gradually turned brown. The queen knew what Qi Jin was going to do next, he was going to kill Shi'er in front of her. Nian Huan's poisoning, if no one notices, this matter is considered to be over, but now it has been discovered, as soon as this flower is out of Kunning Palace, he can't get rid of suspicion no matter what; Second, Shi'er is now insisting that it was Prince Rong's instructions, judging from Qijin's current words and expression, he does not believe Shi'er's words. Whether it was to protect himself or Prince Rong, Shi'er had to die. The queen unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and watched Qi Jin hand the bowl of tea that had changed color to Wang Xi. Shi'er watched Wang Xi walk towards him step by step, he forgot to shake his head, and the whole person kept moving back, except for tears in his eyes, fear, huge fear. Wang Xi looked at Shi'er and smiled slightly:

"Since it is a poison, it will be fatal if it smells for a long time, and I don't know if it will be fatal if you drink it directly. Sister Shi'er, today you should help the master taste the medicine and see the medicinal properties. ”

Shi'er was so frightened that she got up from the ground and ran to the door. Qi Jin didn't raise his eyes, and said:

"Get it back!"

The guards at the door rushed in and stopped them, and they knelt on the ground. Shi'er raised her already weeping eyes and looked at the queen:

"Mother, save me! This is your ......"

Say it's too late

Quickly, the grandmother on the side rushed up and pinched Shi'er's mouth, Wang Xi glanced at Qi Jin, Qi Jin glanced at the queen, the queen was expressionless, and she held the handkerchief in her hand tightly. Qi Jin lowered his eyes and nodded. The palace maid of the cabinet lowered the curtain and put Qi Jin and the queen inside. Behind the curtain, the sound of Shi'er struggling was heard. Qi Jin drank tea, and the queen stood there fixedly, staring at the curtain tightly.

For a while, it was quiet outside.

The curtain was lifted from the outside, and Wang Xi came in.

"Queen Mother, Lord, Sister Shi'er fainted."

Qi Jin sneered:

"Dizzy. It seems that the toxicity of this drug is average. ”

The queen pretended to be calm, and the grandmother on the side helped her back to sit on the couch. She wanted to take a sip of tea, but her hand didn't listen to the call and trembled so much, Mama saw this, took the teacup and fed her. This sip of tea calmed her tense heart just now, she took a deep breath, looked at Qi Jin's side face, and asked:

"The emperor wanted to ask today, and the people found out, and enough trouble, but are you satisfied?"

"Let the emperor be frightened. The emperor should know in her heart why her sons are like this today. Since Shi'er has done such a vicious thing and slandered Prince Rong as the regent of the day, the queen mother should know what to do. ”

The queen's phoenix eyes raised and met Qi Jin's eyes.

It was also this glance that made her suddenly understand that this child was no longer the same child she used to be. He is a general in the bloody field, Prince Yu above the court, he has become what he wants him to be, and now he has a chance to win the battle for the throne with Prince Rong.

"If the word goes on, today's events will not be discussed in Kunning Palace, let alone spread to the outside world. Shi'er poisoned and plotted to kill the life of the county lord of Nianhuan and slandered the prince, the crime was unforgivable, and at noon tomorrow, he was beaten to death in front of everyone. Let the palace maids and eunuchs who are not on duty all be present to watch, and let them know that if such a vicious act occurs in the future, it will end like this. ”

Mama took the words and went down. Qi Jin smiled slightly:

"Huang Eniang, you are also tired today, so the sons and daughters will leave first."

"Good. Go back and take good care of Nian Huan, and Bengong will go to see her tomorrow. ”

"Huang Eniang is dealing with the affairs of the six palaces, she must be very busy, Shi'er is from this Kunning Palace, and please ask Huang Eniang to think twice, Mo Juyuan will not have to go."

Qi Jin led Wang Xi away. The queen sat there stunned for a long, long time.

A little eunuch came in from outside, and was about to speak, but Mama stopped him. The little eunuch whispered to the grandmother: The soup prepared for the emperor is ready. Mama looked at the queen's distraction, thought about it, and asked:

"Niangniang, the soup prepared for the emperor is ready."

Only then did the queen come to her senses. She looked at Mama with empty eyes and asked:

"You saw him just now, does he look like the emperor when he first ascended the throne?"

"Niangniang, sooner or later, the prince will know how good you are for him."

"Yes, sooner or later, he will know that this palace is for his good. Let people put the soup well and go to the Qianqing Palace. ”

"Niangniang, the emperor likes you to wear pink, do you want to change this dress?"

The queen glanced at the dark golden robe on her body, and said to Mama:

"Changed, all changed. Replace it with what he likes. ”

I've been fighting for so many years, but I can't fight her. Well, change it to the way you like her, so that you will look at me more and be more happy in your heart, and I will be even happier because of your joy, even if your joy is not because of me.

Coming out of Kunning Palace, Qi Jin said to Wang Xi:

"Today's events are rotten to the stomach, and they must not be mentioned again."

"Yes, lord."

"I can't be by her side all the time, let people pay attention to the situation in Mo Juyuan, and report to me every day."

"Yes. has already left someone in the Moju Garden, if there is anything, the slave will tell the prince. ”

Shi'er didn't finish the sentence before she was fed the medicine, "Niangniang, save me!" This is your ......", Huang Eniang, why did you do this? The happiness that Erchen has so hard to ask for, why did you destroy it with your own hands? and also thought about blaming the second brother.

What's wrong with Nian Huan?

What's wrong with the second brother?

It's worth the risk!

You can see how serious the consequences will be if today's events are revealed!
