As soon as she heard that Aunt Song had a plan to make Concubine Qi's life worse than death, the queen's heart blossomed.

"What kind of strategy is Aunt Song?"

"Let's not talk about the strategy first, Lao Nu has one thing to ask the queen, when a woman in the harem, what is the most important thing for the emperor?"

"The queen values beauty the most."

"That's right, but not quite. What the emperor values most is a woman who can give him an heir and share his worries. You have nothing to do with these two aspects, but you have a meaningless fight with Concubine Qi, what are you fighting for? If you continue like this, the emperor will be bored with you. Not to mention the heirs, the emperor didn't even look at Zixia Palace. What do you compare to other concubines? Take the majesty of the queen? The women of the harem did not give birth to an heir to the emperor, and it is untenable in the harem. The most important thing for the queen is to conceive the dragon seed immediately. ”

"Aunt Song, what is the strategy you are talking about?"

"When the dragon seed is born, there will be a plan."

"Aunt Song, you said for a long time, you didn't say it, how come I didn't know to give birth to a prince to the emperor, but the number of times the emperor went to Zixia Palace was only a handful. How can I conceive a dragon seed? ”

"Queen, you have to do everything possible to conceive the dragon seed, so that you have the weight to fight for Concubine Qi. I'm telling you right now that it's useless to scheming. The premise of this strategy is to conceive the dragon seed. ”

"Aunt Song, this palace understands."

The emperor was reviewing the recital, and Guo Qingyang walked in.

"The slave meets the emperor."

"Flat! What's the matter? ”

"Your Majesty, the assassin that Lu Yunyao captured is dead."

"Dead? How did you die, wasn't it good when it was handed over to you? ”

"Dead in prison, it seems to be poisoned?"

"What kind of poison did you find?"

"Crane Top Red"

"Looks like they're going to kill people? Is the murder of the palace maid related to the beam case? ”

"Your Majesty, the palace maid must have been killed because the palace maid knew some secret, so she was killed. It's unclear if it has anything to do with the beam case. ”

"Have all the beams of the palace been inspected?"

"After checking, the beams in the other palaces have not been damaged. Only in the places where the emperor frequented, the beams were moved. I've already investigated the assassin being killed in prison, and he has only been in contact with one person, and that person is Zhao De. When the Assassins were sent to prison, Zhao De once brought food to the Assassins. He said that the emperor asked him to deliver the meal. I found the crane top red in the prisoner's leftover meal. ”

"Put Zhao De in prison and interrogate overnight, and find out the instructions behind the scenes. Don't let him die too, so that the clue will be broken. ”

"The emperor is going to take Zhao De away."

Zhao De was arrested, and Guo Qingyang interrogated him overnight.

"Why did Master Guo arrest me? I didn't commit any royal laws? ”

"Zhao De, you went to the prison today to deliver food."

"Didn't go! I have always served the emperor in the palace of diligence. ”

"But someone saw you go to the prison and brought food to the prisoners."

"Impossible! I haven't been out of the main hall today, so how can I go to the prison to deliver food to the prisoners? All the eunuchs and palace maids in the Qinzheng Palace can prove to me that I have never left the Qinzheng Palace for a single step. ”

"If you don't confess to the great punishment."

"Master Guo, you just beat me to death, and I said the same thing, I didn't go to the prison to deliver food."

Guo Qingyang sentenced Zhao De, but Zhao De still said that he did not go to the prison to deliver food. may have wronged Zhao De, Guo Qingyang is going to go to the prison again to learn some information from the jailers. Guo Qingyang came to the prison and saw a big man.

"You, give it to me."

"The little one who met Master Guo, what do you have to say?"

"Is it your errand today?"

"Yes, I've been here on an errand since last night."

"Tell me the truth, how did the prisoner I sent this morning die?"

"Didn't you ask, sir? He died of eating the food sent by Mr. Zhao. If you don't believe me, ask someone else. ”

Guo Qingyang asked three people one after another, and the answers were the same as what Dahan said. When asked about the last jailer, the jailer did not speak. Guo Qingyang asked several times in a row, but the jailer remained silent.

"Say, how did that prisoner die this morning?"

The jailer still didn't speak. Guo Qingyang was anxious.

"Take this little cub with me."

As soon as he got out of the prison door, the little jailer suddenly spoke.

"Master Guo, I know Mr. Zhao, and it is not Mr. Zhao who delivers the meal today. I didn't dare say it because I was afraid they would kill me. It was a stranger who gave money to all the jailers. Let them say that it was Chief Zhao who brought food to the prisoners. ”

Have you taken the silver?

"I took it, but they snatched it."

"Do you still know that stranger?"

"Acquaintance."

"If you follow me in the future, you won't have to go to prison on an errand."

Guo Qingyang told the emperor about this. The emperor thought of a person, and this person would definitely draw the person who bribed the jailers.

Yun Yao was making tea for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother suddenly felt a severe pain in her head.

"Yun Yao's head hurts."

"Is the Queen Mother suffering from the cold? The minions will show you. ”

Yun Yao gave the Queen Mother a good pulse, and the pulse was very stable. But the Queen Mother's face was a little bad. Seeing the incense burner on the Queen Mother's table, Yun Yao suddenly realized.

"Queen Mother, you are the incense burner that gives you a headache, just remove the incense burner."

After the incense burner was removed, the Queen Mother really felt that her head didn't hurt.

"The emperor is down."

Yun Yao hurriedly turned around in surprise and touched the emperor's arms.
