Since someone is poisoned, someone must have poisoned it.

Aunt Zhulu would never do such a thing. When Changsheng realized that someone was trying to frame his aunt, he couldn't help but have a chill in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer: "What a stupid guy! ”

Zhu Lu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and looked up at him, but saw that his eyebrows and eyes were cold, revealing a sharp and cold color.

She had been with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for fifteen years, and she had never seen such an expression on his face.

For a moment, Zhulu felt that this expression looked familiar.

She thought back quietly, and suddenly realized that once upon a time, in the most difficult years, Niangniang was like this, showing people with such a cold face.

Changsheng's facial features are seventy percent similar to the emperor's, and at first glance, their father and son look like they are carved out of a mold. The same brown eyes, the same angular features.

Zhulu has always felt that the prince and the emperor are the most similar, but I don't know when the look between the prince's eyes and eyebrows is so the same as that of Niangniang.

Zhu Lu was slightly stunned, and gently opened her lips and said, "Your Highness......"

Seeing her eyes flickering, Changsheng thought she was secretly worried, so he only said, "Auntie, do you think that person is stupid?" I was raised by my aunt, and in this palace, in addition to the queen mother and father, there is also a sister...... I'm the closest to my aunt, and they want to harm me, but they have the guts! But they actually want to frame my aunt, it's so stupid! ”

Hearing this, Zhulu just bit her lip and lowered her head speechlessly.

Her mood fluctuated and she could not calm down.

Changsheng saw that her expression was heavy, and his expression gradually eased, he deliberately learned what he did when he was a child, pulled up her sleeve, and said with a little force: "Auntie, the queen mother and I will definitely give you a clean and fair life." ”

When Zhu Lu heard this, the tears in her eyes were even worse. She shook her head slowly, but instead took the prince's hand and gently comforted: "The life and death of the slave and maid are not important, the safety of His Royal Highness is the most important." This palace is not as safe as before, Your Highness must remember that no one can believe it, no one can believe it! ”

Niangniang has been in the harem for decades, covering the sky with one hand, and no one dares to commit it! But something happened under her nose. She felt terrified just thinking about it......

Changsheng nodded solemnly: "I know." ”

He raised his eyes and swept towards the beautiful scenery of the garden, and his heart was secretly tight.

After so many years of pampering, those dirty and ugly things finally began to crash into his eyes.

After Changsheng and Zhulu spoke, they came to Gao Fuli again, looked at him and bowed his head silently, and said, "You are the old man next to the queen mother, you know what to do, right?" ”

Gao Fuli saw that His Highness had something to say, and lowered his head again: "Your Highness, please command." ”

Changsheng was straightforward: "You made a lot of mistakes back then, and the queen mother can still keep you by your side, presumably you have your own use." ”

Gao Fufu straightened his back slightly.

Changsheng lowered his tone and continued, "The Queen Mother said that you are the one who can do the dirty work. So, let it go. ”

I am afraid that the lives of people in his hands are too many to count. However, to deal with wicked people with evil intentions, it is necessary to have such a pair of bloodstained hands that are not afraid of killing.

…

The matter of the uterus was sealed and investigated. However, there is no impermeable wall, just as there is no impermeable mouth in this world. It's just that after a day of fermentation, the secret in the Tai Womb is like a corpse that has begun to decay, gradually emitting a rotten and unpleasant smell.

Those spies with a keen sense of smell, disciples, minions...... I can't wait to send these fermented and distorted rumors to the ears of the masters of the families.

Meng Zhenglu, who is the national abbot, naturally heard the news.

However, what he heard was not gossip, nor was it a bizarre story from hearsay!

Meng Xilan was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, in front of the emperor and her father, crying silently.

Zhou Youchen's face turned blue with anger, and Meng Zhenglu also had a heavy face, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"These dog minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! It's just nothing, a bunch of waste rice buckets! ”

In a fit of rage, Meng Zhenglu slowly got up and fell to his knees.

"Please calm the emperor's anger and take care of the dragon body!"

"Humph! Take care of your dragon?! I can't even keep my son. ”

These days, Zhou Youchen has been worried and exhausted all day long for the affairs of Turkic and Cangzhou City, however, he didn't expect that just when he was worried about state affairs, there was chaos in the palace!

Meng Zhenglu turned his head to look at his daughter, hoping that she could say something.

"Queen Mother, what do you think about this matter?"

Meng Xilan picked up the handkerchief and nodded the tears in the corners of her eyes.

"There is no doubt that the person who poisoned must be the person of the harem, but the person who plotted the design is afraid that he will take root in the previous dynasty."

She had already figured it out that there must be someone inside and outside to coincide with this matter.

It is impossible to harbor poison in the palace.

Since there can be no private hiding in the palace, there must be someone outside the palace to prepare.

When it is ready, it will be sent to the palace.

Xiao Liuzi's background is clean and there is no problem. He has only been by the prince's side for half a year, and a few days ago, he was promoted by Xiaochunzi to serve in front of the prince.

Whether he was used or a participant still needs to be traced closely.

"Harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics. This rule is dead, but man is alive. The front and back harems were already connected with each other and interacted with each other, but the palace didn't expect that they were so ruthless and accurate, and they almost took Wu'er's life! ”

As Meng Xilan spoke, hatred rose again in her heart, and she couldn't help but freeze her words.

Zhou Youchen glanced at her, sighed and said, "This matter must be investigated clearly, it is not enough to rely on the waste of the Internal Affairs Office alone." Let Dali Temple and the Criminal Department take care of it. ”

Meng Xilan's eyebrows moved slightly when she heard this.

It's not that she disagrees, but she just thinks that in Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, the Meng family doesn't have many connections, and it's not easy to control.

"The concubines thank the emperor for bothering the prince. It's just that the harem is forbidden, and there are too many outsiders pouring in at once, I'm afraid it's not good. Moreover, the person who poisoned him must still be watching from the palace...... The concubine didn't want to startle the snake, so she ......"

She deliberately stopped talking and asked Zhou Youchen to answer.

"However, without the intervention of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, relying solely on the Internal Affairs Office, this matter is afraid to be a big deal." Zhou Youchen said in an aggravated tone.

Meng Xilan naturally knew the severity, and only said: "The concubine has no objection to the emperor's decision. It's just that the concubine wants two days, and if after two days, the concubine still can't find any clues in her hands, then it's not too late to let Dali Temple and the Criminal Department interrogate. ”

When Zhou Youchen saw her say this, he didn't object.

Indeed, in this capital, there will be anyone who knows this palace better than her.

"Okay, I'll be up to you, but you have to be careful yourself."

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she nodded quietly.

Meng Zhenglu was beside him, and when he heard it clearly, he knew that there was no peace in this deep palace.

Meng Xilan withdrew from the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Meng Zhenglu rushed over from behind.

"Niangniang, please stay......" His footsteps were hectic, and he didn't see the usual stability at all.

"Father." Meng Xilan was afraid that he would miscalculate, so he hurriedly ordered someone to support him steadily.

"Niangniang, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really okay?" Meng Zhenglu just endured not asking in front of the palace, and now he was uneasy in his heart.

Meng Xilan was slightly surprised when she heard this, and only said: "The prince is fine, father doesn't have to worry." ”

When Meng Zhenglu heard this, he was really relieved.

Meng Xilan stared at her father: "Father, when did this palace deceive you?" Why are you so worried? ”

Speaking of which, my father is also a person who has seen the world.

But this time, he was flustered and sweaty, which still made Meng Xilan care very much.

Meng Zhenglu said helplessly: "Over the years, Niangniang has always reported good news to the Meng family but not bad news, and the ministers are terrified in their hearts, blaming themselves every day. ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "Current affairs are related to the prince, how can this palace not tell the truth." Now is an extraordinary time, after my father went home, he told the juniors a few words, and asked Brother Yun and Brother Rong not to enter the palace for the time being. ”

"Yes......"

There are not many opportunities for their father and daughter to be against each other, but every time they want to see each other, it is a critical juncture. There is no homely warmth, only the heaviness of every step.

…

Meng Qingyun and Meng Qingrong, as the prince's companions, learned that His Royal Highness had something to do, so they naturally entered the palace to accompany them as soon as possible.

Meng Xilan's instructions were a step too late, and they had already arrived in the imperial womb at this time.

Because of the food problem, now, every bowl of water and a cup of tea in the palace must be carefully checked.

The hot tea, after many tests, is already slightly cold in the hand.

Meng Qingyun frowned, looking at the tea in the cup that had already been cold, and his mood was heavy.

Changsheng saw that he was holding the teacup, not moving, not drinking, so he said: "In the past, the things in my palace were the best, but now, I am afraid that I will disappoint you." ”

The two brothers, Meng Qingyun and Meng Qingrong, were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then got up at the same time, and said in unison: "The subordinates are rude." ”

"What a faux pas is not rude. Sit down. Changsheng took a sip of herbal tea and said, "Now, there are only us here, so you don't have to be restrained." Since last night, everyone in the womb has been cautious of me. I'm afraid this kind of day will last for a long time, so I also want to take a break. ”

His tone seemed to be calm and light, but the heaviness implied in it was not something that others could understand.

Last night, he walked around the ghost gate, and although he lost his life, he was already frightened.

Meng Qingyun took the initiative to take a step forward: "Your Highness, your subordinates are willing to accompany Your Highness and protect Your Highness." ”

Changsheng smiled when he heard this, and shook his head slightly: "I understand your kindness." However, the atmosphere in the palace is depressing at the moment, so you still don't want to stay longer. Those people even dare to frame Aunt Zhulu, you have to be careful. ”

Meng Qingyun's expression changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect this layer to be powerful.

"Aunt Zhulu is one of my closest people. These people are bold and careful, if it weren't for the queen mother, I am afraid that my aunt would have suffered a long time ago. ”

Meng Qingyun clenched his fists and looked angry: "It's really hateful!" ”

Changsheng took another sip of tea: "You are all from the Meng family, and you are also my cousins. You go out of the palace as soon as possible to avoid suspicion, I don't want to bother you anymore before the matter is over. ”

When Meng Qingyun and Meng Qingrong heard this, they glanced at each other, both helpless.

"The subordinates are incompetent, and they still hope to atone for their sins!"

Changsheng shook his head: "Where are you incompetent, it's me, the prince, who is incompetent...... It's just that they feel like they're too bullied. ”

The queen mother once said that there are many people who want to harm him. Only by making them jealous and afraid will they not dare to make mistakes.

Changsheng only now realized the importance of this sentence, they are not afraid of him, no, it should be said that so far, no one in this palace is afraid of him, they are all afraid of the father and the queen mother.

…

It was only half an hour after the Meng brothers left, and it was time for lunch.

Changsheng didn't have much appetite, but he couldn't stop eating, and he couldn't let his mother worry anymore.

Usually when he eats, there are only three or five people around him, but today there are more than ten, and there are even imperial doctors waiting by him.

Such a battle, just for a lunch, is really laughable.

Before the dishes were ready, someone outside the hall suddenly reported.

"Your Highness, Grandpa Gao asks to see you!"

Changsheng raised his eyes, raised his hand, and said, "Let him in." ”

Gao Welfare didn't come alone, followed by a fair girl.

If you look closely, it is Shen Dan.

She changed out of the princess's old clothes, put on the emerald green palace dress of the palace maid, and followed behind Gao Fuli with low eyebrows.

How did she get here?

Changsheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he only asked Gao Fuli: "Did the queen mother let you come?" ”

Gao Fuli saluted and nodded: "Yes, back to Your Highness, Niang Niang ordered the slave to bring Shen Dan and serve His Highness." ”

Hearing this, Changsheng waved his hand coldly: "No need, there are enough people around me to serve." ”

Gao Fuli said lightly: "Your Highness, this is Niangniang's order." Shen Dan will be responsible for His Royal Highness's food, clothing and daily life in the future, and eat and live with His Highness. ”

At this point, Changsheng's expression changed again.

What does that mean?

Gao Fuli whispered to Shen Dan behind him: "You are so self-conscious, don't let your mother down." ”

Shen Dan nodded silently.

"Your Highness's meal is important, so the slave will leave first."

Gao Welfare walked fast, Shen Dan stood in place, his eyes down and waiting.

Changsheng's face was displeased, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Aren't you here to serve His Highness?" Where are you pestle, how do you serve?

Shen Dan stepped forward with lowered eyes when he heard this, stood beside the prince, picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of vegetables, and put them in a small plate.

Changsheng thought she was going to give it to herself, but who knows, she took it with her hand and ate it.

"You ......" The eunuch who was waiting on the other side reprimanded her: "There are no rules, and you can eat the prince's meal?" ”

Shen Dan ignored his accusations, nor did he pay attention to the prince's cold gaze, he just concentrated on eating the food in his mouth, and after swallowing it, he said: "Your Highness, don't blame, this is the purpose of the slave maid sent by the mother." From now on, every sip of tea that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can drink and eat every bite of food must be tried by the slave and maid first, and after a cup of tea, if the slave and maid are fine, the prince can eat it. ”

It stands to reason that before the prince's meal was served on the table, someone had already tried the poison himself. But Meng Xilan sent Shen Dan over and asked her to taste the food on the case again.

In this way, if it is poisonous, then Shen Dan will be able to prevent the prince from a catastrophe.
