"You don't understand, I can't...... You can't talk back. Sandwiched between the emperor and the queen mother, and betraying the queen and the Fucha clan, I have no way to retreat...... What's more, not to mention the blood droplets in the hands of the Queen Mother...... All of them are left behind by the first emperor...... It can't be so easy to detect...... I ......"

"Uncle?" Cao Xuyan listened to Cao Qinchuan's intermittent voice, his brows tightened, and he hurriedly turned around to look. And the moment he saw Cao Qinchuan, Cao Qinchuan spurted out a mouthful of blood, spraying it on his face without bias, and a fishy smell filled his face, and even his eyes were densely filled with blood spots.

Then, with a bang, Cao Qinchuan fell crookedly on the thatched ground of the prison, and he lost his breath.

"Someone, come on...... Someone ...... coming" Cao Xuyan wailed like a madman, and tears fell like rain: "Uncle, wake up, you have nothing to do." He tried to stretch out his hand, wanting to hold Cao Qinchuan's hand and take his pulse, but unfortunately the wooden fence was separated and it was not long enough. Uncle ......"

Hongli walked in with Li Yu, but saw that the prison was already in chaos. The guards were so hurried that they didn't know what they were searching for, so that no one came forward to greet the emperor.

Li Yu was displeased with the emperor, so he quickly cleared his throat and shouted, "The emperor has arrived." ”

This movement is really frightening, and the panicked slave realized that the emperor stood in front of him and knelt on the ground crackling. "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an."

Already feeling that something was wrong, Hongli hurriedly walked down: "What happened, who are you searching for?" ”

The cell boss hurriedly kowtowed respectfully, and replied: "Your Majesty, the Cao Yuan sentenced Lord Cao to be sent to the prison for only half a cup of tea, and he was ...... He was shot from behind with an arrow and killed instantly. The minions and others are looking for this hot hand, but ...... But the prison has been rummaged back and forth several times, and there is no half of it, which is really ......"

Hongli glanced at him coldly, and ordered the imperial guards who followed him: "You guys carefully search the prison one by one, and don't let go of any clues." Don't let go of anyone who can move around at will in the prison, and if you find anything suspicious, you will immediately put them in a cell and wait for me to interrogate them personally. ”

After speaking, Hongli glanced at Li Yu slightly.

Li Yushen bowed his head, and said coldly: "Where is the Cao Yuan's sentence, don't hurry up and lead the way." ”

"Huh." The cell boss was colorless, and he wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into. If something happened in the prison, I couldn't catch anyone and didn't say anything, and the emperor came at this time and saw a mess of things and his own incompetence. Losing his official position is a trivial matter, and if he is afraid, he is afraid that the emperor will be angry and ask for his own head. The cell boss was so frightened that his steps were vain: "Your Majesty, the sentence of the Cao Yuan is locked up here." ”

He guessed that there were many things that the emperor did not allow to be a slave to listen to and talk about, so he knew that he stood aside and did not go in.

Li Yu bowed down and led the way, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, Cao Yuan sentenced him to be poisoned in the prison, if the assassin has not left, I am afraid that it will endanger the emperor's safety, why don't you also ask the imperial guards to accompany you?" ”

"Since I have come, I am not afraid that they will plot against me. Not necessarily. Hongli walked in three or two steps, and sure enough, he saw Cao Xuyan kneeling silently in one cell, and in the other cell, Cao Qinchuan's body was poured.

After taking a few steps further, Hongli detoured behind Cao Qinchuan, and Zhenzhen'er saw an arrow on his back, which was a very short arrow, which hit the back of the heart and killed him with one arrow. It can be seen that the perpetrator of the murder came to extinguish his mouth.

"You're so confused, Cao Xuyan." Hongli snorted resentfully: "Today in the Yi Concubine Palace, the queen has given you a chance over and over again, so that you can explain things clearly in front of me." Cao Yuan's collusion with the Queen Mother was originally unwise, if you didn't force him to be cornered, how could he explain the whole thing clearly in front of me.

It's good now, but the words are not explained, and the person has been killed, and this is the fate of you to defend him. Hongli finally understood at this time, why Lan Xin repeatedly persecuted Cao Xuyan, and there were words like "I can't save the life of the person I want to save the most", it can be seen that Lan Xin still understands the poison of the Queen Mother. It's a pity that she used the wrong effort, and her mind was spent on a piece of rotten wood, and her efforts were in vain.

"The minister deserves to die, and the minister should not hide the emperor for his own selfish interests." Cao Xuyan finally realized at this time what a stupid mistake he had made. "The minister thought that as long as he concealed this matter, he would never be involved with his uncle again as soon as he died, but he didn't want his uncle to be a stumbling block to others, and he would cut the grass and eradicate it when he was done."

Hongli frowned, and said angrily: "There is no point in regretting it now, what is going on, you must know it truthfully." ”

Cao Xu said yes, and then explained the words of Fang Cai and his uncle to the emperor word for word.

Qi Qige scooped a spoonful of hot purple rice porridge, and before he could touch his lips, he heard Linglan push the door in. "Mother, have you heard?"

"What?" Qi Qige blew the hot porridge and said disapprovingly.

"Concubine Yi had a miscarriage." Linglan lowered his eyebrows and said: "It is said that Cao Yuan and Imperial Doctor Cao are both suspicious, and they have already put the emperor in prison." ”

"Imperial Doctor Cao is imprisoned in a prison?" He was very shocked, and today is the third day agreed with the Queen Mother. If she didn't guess wrong, he and the prince would inevitably enter the palace at night to meet the queen. At this time, only Cao Xuyan could do tricks in the queen's decoction, so that the queen could not attend for some reason and escaped this catastrophe.

Who knows, things will actually cause a storm at this juncture.

Linglan didn't know the whole story, but couldn't stop bowing her head: "The slave heard that the two imperial doctors were instructed by someone to dare to poison Concubine Yi's medicine." There are even rumors in the palace that the person who commanded the envoy is actually the queen's mother. The voice was deliberately lightened, and Linglan said slowly: "Isn't Imperial Doctor Cao the queen who ordered her to give Concubine Yi a baby?" ”

Qi Qi settled his mind and exhaled quietly: "How can rumors be true, facts are sometimes unpredictable. What did the emperor say? ”

"The emperor just handed it over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, and didn't say anything else." Linglan didn't know much, so he could only answer perfunctorily.

"Providence cannot be violated." Qiqi smiled warmly and said slowly: "Purple rice porridge has no taste, let's serve it." "She has the heart to help a group of queens, but there is only so much she can do. Today's events, Linglan couldn't understand it, but she herself could see it clearly. Although the Queen Mother was imprisoned in Cining Palace, she was still able to turn over the clouds and rain and strategize.

Concubine Yi's child is gone, and Imperial Doctor Cao suffers because of this, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. As long as the Queen Mother does not fall for a day, she will have to be a pawn hidden in the harem by the Queen Mother for a day. openly went to Changchun Palace to explain all the tricks to the queen, she couldn't have it, and she didn't dare to have it. Otherwise, Yongqi's life will be difficult to preserve.

One is just the queen who has shown favor to herself, and the other is Yongqi's life, even if she is a little unhappy in her heart, she will inevitably choose. "Linglan, the new tricks sent by the Internal Affairs Office are very exquisite, but it's a pity that the craftsmanship of this palace is not good. In this way, you go and ask Concubine Jia to come over and let her teach the palace. Then let the kitchenette prepare the pastries that Concubine Jia likes. ”

Since he can't help the queen, he has to follow the instructions of the queen mother and try to let no one close to the queen be able to help. Concubine Jia has always been desperate for the queen, and she is inevitably implicated, so it is better to stay by her side.

"It's a mother, slave and maid will go. Do the math, Concubine Jia hasn't come to our palace for two or three days. Linglan happily retreated.

Only then did Qi Qige feel a headache: "When will I be able to live my life as I want." Not to be restrained by others, not to be threatened, only to do what you ought to do? His mind was full of Yongqi's small appearance, his eyes were closed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was so friendly: "Yongqi, for you, it's worth it to do anything to Eniang."

Panyu heard that Concubine Yi had slipped a tire, so she rushed to Cining Palace. She and Concubine Chun happened to take care of the Queen Mother alternately. During the day, she served the Queen Mother with medicine, and from the evening, only Concubine Chun was close to the Queen Mother to take care of her. At this time, Concubine Chun must be waiting for her in the ear room.

Sure enough, when Panyu pushed open the door of the ear room, he saw at a glance that Concubine Chun was leaning on a mahogany chair, drinking Pu'er with a spring breeze on her face. The house is filled with the smell of Pu'er fragrance, which is refreshing. "It's rare that you're still in the mood to drink tea like this." Panyu glanced at her coldly, his expression uncertain.

"Concubine Xian's words, the concubine can't understand. Waiting for the concubine to come all day long, aren't the concubines all sitting here drinking tea and waiting? It's no different from today. Su Wanrong knew the meaning of Concubine Xian's words, but she didn't realize it. In fact, she really didn't do anything, all this was arranged by the Queen Mother. It's really nice to sit back and enjoy it.

This is the wish of heaven and man.

"How can the tea be a celebration for the pure concubine, it is better to replace it with a mellow and intoxicating old wine. This pleasure can be from the tip of the tongue to the heart, and it is accompanied by dizziness and intoxicating pride, which makes Concubine Chun like it even more. Panyu clapped his hands lightly, and Duo Lan ordered the inner attendant behind him to fetch a pot of wine.

"This pot of wine should be regarded as the palace to celebrate you. I hope you will receive it. After speaking, Panyu turned away and didn't look at Concubine Chun again.

But Su Wanrong couldn't understand it: "Concubine Xian, wait, today's words are abrupt, this palace really doesn't understand, what do you mean?" I know that this palace does not drink, and it is said that this is still the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. Could it be that you want the palace to serve the queen mother with a full body of alcohol? ”

Panyu didn't look back, just walked in slowly.

Su Wanrong told her to ignore it, but she didn't bother to say anything more, just lifted the lid of the wine jug and took a closer look. With a bang, the silver kettle fell to the ground, and Su Wanrong screamed. "Concubine Xian, what exactly are you going to do?"
