Coincidentally, today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. If it weren't for Su Yu packing all his luggage, Qianwu would have almost forgotten this day. It was the day he was about to leave Kyoto for the Kasei Temple in Rizhao Prefecture to pray for the emperor, which was something he had to do every year.

The death day of the Emperor Taishang is the fifteenth day of the first month, which is the Lantern Festival, so there is no Lantern Festival banquet in the country. Rizhao County is a long way, it takes five or six days to travel, Qianwu in order to come back as soon as possible, as early as ten days ago, he had already explained that Su Yu was preparing his luggage, and the emperor in the palace had also approved this trip.

Ruxu sent Qianwu to the gate of Kyoto City, and reluctantly said, "You go early and return early, everything is safe and smooth." ”

Qianwu was a little worried about the poisoning of the envoys in the palace, and he didn't have time to understand the situation, and now he was about to leave Beijing in a hurry, as if something was going to happen.

"You pay more attention to the movements in the palace these days, I am not in the capital, and many things cannot be dealt with in time." Chimist stroked her hair.

Ruxu nodded.

In this palace, Concubine An had just walked into the hall and saluted, and unexpectedly saw Qianyun sitting next to the emperor with her head down, and she glanced at the Hong Dynasty and the cook of the Chang'an Hall who were kneeling next to her.

At this moment, the emperor walked quickly to her and slapped her fiercely.

"Look at the good things you do!" The emperor was so angry that his face was bloodshot, "You dare to hand over the poisonous pastry to Qianyun and use him to do things for you, you are too bold!" I've spoiled you all these years, and I've made you lose your senses! ”

"Your Majesty......" Concubine An's face immediately turned red, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "Why is the emperor furious today, what poisonous pastry?" The concubine really didn't understand......"

"You don't understand? Hum! The emperor walked away a few steps, pointed to the red dynasty and said, "You, it's you, you come over and say it again!" ”

Hong Chao trembled and knelt down, and cried to Concubine An, "Niangniang, the slave saw the cook put poison into the pastry that day, and then you ordered someone to hand over the pastry to the little prince...... The slave absolutely believed that Niangniang was not such a ruthless person, and she was afraid that Niangniang would be framed, so she informed the emperor of the matter. ”

"Today, Yinling and Lan'er hanged themselves again because of this incident...... The slave is really sad! Hong Chao pounded his chest as he spoke, looking very sad indeed.

Concubine An's eye knife was thrown at her fiercely, and then she forced out the tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, it was Liuli who took the pastry to the little prince that day, and as for the poison in the pastry, the concubine really didn't know about it!" ”

"It's Ruri again!" The emperor narrowed his eyes, "She is all dead, and there is no proof of death, isn't it just up to you to fabricate it out of thin air!" ”

Concubine An Guifei was so speechless by his words that she held her breath and shed tears. The emperor looked at her a little unbearable, and asked again.

"Where did this poison come from?"

Concubine An cried, "The concubine doesn't know ......"

"You say ......" The emperor took a long breath, soothed his emotions, and pointed to the cook.

"Your Majesty, it's a lop-eared ......" The cook was about to speak, but was interrupted by a lop-ear.

The lop's body trembled, and she immediately cried, "It's not that I'm not me, it's all Sister Yulu!" Where did the slave and maid get the guts to poison the little prince! ”

"You talk nonsense! If it is the poison under Yulu, once something happens to the little prince, he can easily catch her with a little investigation. How could Gyokuro do such a clumsy thing? It's clearly you, it's you who framed her! An Guifei whispered with teary eyes, "Yulu concentrated on treating my old diseases and won my heart, so you were jealous of her, and thought of this way to frame her, didn't you?" ”

"The emperor is clear, Yulu is sincere to the concubine, and has never done anything beyond the norm, and was seriously injured last time because of the affairs of the East Courtyard...... It's all this girl who chews the root of her tongue and wants to splash dirty water on her. "Concubine An's makeup is crying.

"The slave has no ......," the lop ear paralyzed and sat on the ground.

"Do you still have the face to mention the affairs of the Eastern Courtyard?" The emperor's anger rushed up again, and he immediately coughed a few times, and Liu Jin saw it and quickly smoothed him down, "If you hadn't disciplined you and didn't notice it in time, how could there be such a thing as a secret room in the East Courtyard!" From now on, the concubine Niangniang will be grounded in the Chang'an Palace, and no one is allowed to visit without instructions! ”

After saying that, he coughed violently, and his face had turned the color of pig liver. When Liu Jin saw it, he hurriedly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body!" Now that the matter has already been suspected, it will be clear if you lock it up and interrogate it for a few days, right? ”

The emperor listened to Liu Jin's words, calmed his anger, waved his sleeves and said, "Pull her down first and hand her over to Lu Gaoqiu to take care of." ”

"The emperor's slave and maid are wronged, the emperor ......" and then the lop ear was taken down.

Hongchao watched as the lop ear was pulled down, but it didn't affect Yulu at all. She glanced at Concubine An and immediately understood that Concubine An was preparing to sacrifice her lop ears to preserve Yulu.

"Your Majesty!" The Red Dynasty risked death and called the emperor again, "Your Majesty." The poison is colorless and tasteless, and it is impossible to make it with the ability of the lop ear, this thing ......"

"Red Dynasty ......," Concubine An Guifei hooked the corners of her mouth, "Maybe the lop ear stole the medicine of Yulu, maybe the lop ear got the poison from elsewhere?" Isn't it far-fetched for you to say that, why do you have to target Gyokuro, isn't it because you have another purpose? ”

"Slave maid......" Hong Chao bit his lip with a little annoyance.

The emperor glanced at the Hong Dynasty sharply, and the Hong Dynasty immediately shut up and lowered his head.

In the Chang'an Palace, Yulu didn't know how the situation was developing, and was anxiously waiting for Concubine An and Lop to come back in the palace. She felt inexplicably uneasy, and as time passed, she became more and more uncomfortable.

About an hour later, Concubine An Guifei limped back from outside holding the handmaid's hand. When Gyokuro heard the voice, she immediately straightened up from the bed and looked at her from afar, but she didn't see the lop ear.

"Mother, where are the lops?" Gyokuro asked.

"It's not this yet!" Concubine An pulled Hong Chao over and threw her to the ground, "The hurtful lop ear entered the Wuzong Building!" ”

No Sect Building? Yulu gasped, and didn't care about the injuries on her body, so she got up and walked over slowly by holding the hand of the maidservant girl next to her.

"What did the mother just say? How did lop get into Wuzong Building? Before Gyokuro could ask what had happened, tears were already rolling in her eyes.

Concubine An Guifei took the cloak from the handmaid's hand from the side and tied it to Yulu, "Just now in Chengyang Palace, I confessed all my sins, and the emperor asked someone to take her to Lu Gaoqiu's Wuzong Building." ”

Yulu's face turned pale, tears slid down, and her hands grabbed An Guifei's sleeves.

"Don't worry, this matter hasn't been settled yet, and the lop ear should be fine." Concubine An hypocritically comforted her, looking coy.

Gyokuro wiped tears from the corners of her eyes. She knew that even if she hadn't been convicted yet, for her own safety, Concubine An would definitely urge Lu Gaoqiu to close the case behind her back. The lop will certainly not admit its guilt, and once it does, there is no room for maneuver. So what method will Lu Gaoqiu use to make lop ears confess? Only torture.

Yulu was out of proportion, she let go of Concubine An, shook off the handmaid's hand to help her, and walked away a few steps one by one. She can't let anything happen to her lop, absolutely not.

"Lock the Hong Dynasty in the north courtyard, and don't allow her to take half a step!" Concubine An Guifei saw that Yulu's mood was wrong, and she didn't have the heart to care about the Red Dynasty, so she asked her to take her down first and leave it for Yulu to deal with in person in the future.

"Niangniang doesn't have to worry about Gyokuro, Gyokuro wants to stay by herself for a while." Gyokuro sat back on the edge of the bed, forcing herself to calm down.

This matter is too big to be solved, and it must be solved by force. She immediately thought of Ruxu, and then thought of Nan Wangye. Suddenly, a stirring spirit, she finally found a life-saving straw.

However, this life-saving straw is now on its way to Rizhao County.

The entire Chang'an Hall was grounded, and Yulu couldn't go out, so she had to count the time and wait for Zhou Ziheng to change her medicine. On the third day, Zhou Ziheng was late. Gyokuro secretly shoved a note into him, and the hand holding him tightened slightly.

This matter is urgent, please, you must be faster.

Zhou Ziheng went back to the hospital after changing her medicine, secretly opened the note and looked at it, then said hello to the others on duty, and then left the palace and rushed to Xu's mansion.

At this time, Ruxu was telling a story to Peach Blossom, and Jin Se was sitting there fiddling with the newly bought potted plants. Chiki is not in Kyoto these days, so the news is not very well-informed. Zhou Ziheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly knocked down the newly bought flower pot in the atrium.

The flower pot shattered with a "bang", and someone in the room slowly opened their eyes.

"My lord, Imperial Doctor Zhou is here." The butler said.

Ruxu nodded and asked the maid to take the peach blossoms down.

Zhou Ziheng walked into the house, and anxiously took out a note from his arms and handed it to Ruxu, "I went to change Yulu's dressing early this morning, and she handed me this note." It's urgent, so you'd better hurry up and take a look. ”

When Jin Se heard Yulu's name, he immediately walked over quickly.

If you open the note, take a look. The lop ear is in trouble, trapped in the Wuzong Building, and 100,000 are in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Jin Se took the note and looked at it carefully, Ruxu looked at Zhou Ziheng and asked.

"Two days ago, the case of poisoning the envoy seemed to have a result, and I heard that the murderer was a maidservant in the Chang'an Palace. At the time, I just said that it was an inconsequential servant, and I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect it to be lop...... I blame me for being too careless. Zhou Ziheng spoke, looking a little annoyed.

Ruxu listened and looked at him and said, "You can tell us about the specific situation." ”

Zhou Ziheng told Ruxu and Jinse what he knew, and Ruxu fell into silence just after speaking.

"Now that the prince is not in Kyoto, it will take at least ten days to come back, what should I do about this matter?" Ruxu muttered.

Now that Qianwu is not in the palace, her ability is limited, and many things are not enough.

"Do you want to inform the alliance leader and the old man to go to Wuzong Tower together to rescue people?" Jin Se said with a frown.
