Chapter 40: Is the poison from Concubine Qin?
In the dungeon of the palace, it was dark, and everywhere there was a damp smell, and in a rusty iron prison, a girl was unkempt and shrunk, and two days of dungeon life had made her unlikely, and she hated one person in her heart, the woman who had locked her up here.
She just said a few words in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen threw her into this dungeon where no one can live. If she had the chance, she would have taken revenge!
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the empty dungeon of "Cave", and Qing'er looked up at the door of the dungeon. In fact, it was very dark in the dungeon, and she didn't see anyone coming, but someone came, which meant that she had a chance to go out, even if she was asked to interrogate, but she would be let out after all, she hurriedly got up and grabbed the iron bar of the dungeon with both hands, "Let me out!" I was wronged! Qing'er shouted.
"Open the cell door and take her to the antechamber for questioning." A serious voice said, it looked like it should be the chief of the guard or the cell boss or something.
Then, two jailers came and opened the cell door, "Qing'er girl, please come with us!" A jailer said.
Following the jailer to the antechamber of a palace, Qing'er was thrown to the ground, "How is it?" Have you thought about it? Do you say it or don't you say it? A woman with her back to Qing'er said coldly.
"The slave is still this sentence, the slave is wronged!" Qing'er said stubbornly with her head raised.
"This palace believes that you were forced, as long as you name the person who wants you to poison, this palace will definitely keep you safe! Of course, there are also the people you want to protect, and this palace will guarantee their safety. "Maybe the person who poisoned her was forcing her with this girl's family.
"Can the queen really guarantee the safety of Qing'er's family?" Qing'er looked directly at the queen, and a bright light flashed in her eyes, if she could ensure the safety of herself and her family......
"Hongu said that it will naturally be done!" Shi Ling'er turned around and looked at Qing'er who was kneeling on the ground, she knew that things must be like this, this Qing'er was threatened by others.
"It's Concubine Qin! On that day, it was the day when the emperor and the queen went to see the emperor, Qin Concubine handed the slave a pack of medicine, and said that she would find a way to feed the emperor to eat when the queen went to see the emperor, otherwise, the slave's family would be in danger, and the slave and maid should not say it, if the slave and the maid said it, the slave's family would also be in danger. The slave has no choice, as long as she does what Concubine Qin says. That's the way it is, beg the queen to be gracious and let the slave go. Qing'er cried and said.
"It turned out to be her!" Shi Ling'er said helplessly, this harem woman is really pitiful! In order to be able to win the favor of the queen, she will do whatever it takes, but unfortunately, she will not sympathize with such a person! "You promise you're telling the truth?"
"What the slave said is true, please let the queen know!" Qing'er lowered her head and said.
"Stay." Knowing what she wanted to know, Shi Ling'er didn't want to embarrass a little girl, she was just for her family, and there was nothing wrong with her.
It's just that what she didn't see was that when Qing'er was taken away from here, her eyes flashed with the pride that the conspiracy had succeeded.

"Ah Lang, that girl has already been recruited, she said that it was Concubine Qin who instructed her." When Xiao Lang came back, Shi Ling'er sat beside him and told him about her interrogation of that Qing'er girl during the day.
"Concubine Qin? Did that girl really say that? Xiao Lang asked suspiciously, how could Concubine Qin be so arrogant after only a few days in the palace? Isn't she afraid that things will be revealed? And where did her poison come from?
"Yes, that girl said that Concubine Qin threatened her with their family." What Shi Ling'er hates most is this kind of person who threatens others.
"Ah Lang will go to Concubine Qin to verify this matter." Whether he is going to investigate it or not, this matter is very suspicious, maybe it is another mischief, he must not allow there is always such a thing as planting a blame in his palace.
"How is the situation of the eldest brother today?" After saying that, Shi Ling'er asked Xiao Yu about the situation again. After eating that Tianshan Snow Lotus, will Brother Yu be better? She was ordered by the Queen Mother not to see Brother Yu again, saying that she was afraid that she would have bad intentions, but she was still very worried about Brother Yu's situation, so she could only learn from Xiao Lang.
"Brother Great's situation today is okay, on the surface it looks the same as before." Xiao Lang said, that Tianshan Snow Lotus temporarily restrained the toxin, but they all knew that this was only temporary, and the eldest brother was still in danger.
"That's good, we can only find a way if we can buy time, right?" Since someone has developed a poison, they will develop an antidote to it, right? Although it is rumored that there is no antidote to this poison, she still believes that as long as she has the heart, she can find the person who can configure the antidote.
——————————
It was very early today, Xiao Lang did not go back to Fengyi Palace directly as usual, but went to Xinlian Palace, what Shi Ling'er told him yesterday, he was going to find Qin Concubine to verify.
Watching the emperor walk towards her palace from a distance, Concubine Qin was very happy, since the emperor had an accident, the emperor has been busier, so he has never come to his place again, and of course he has not been to the palace of other concubines. Although the emperor may not favor her when he comes, it is also a status symbol, isn't it?
She hurried back to the house, took the mirror to look at her makeup, and made sure that she was perfectly dressed before coming to the palace gate to pick up the driver.
"The concubine sees the emperor!"
"Slaves and maids see the emperor!"
Concubine Qin and her maid saluted Xiao Lang together.
"Get up." Xiao Lang said, "Concubine Qin, you come to the house with me, I have something to ask you, everyone else is waiting outside." ”
Concubine Qin looked at the emperor's serious expression, she didn't know what was going on, why did the emperor come today with this expression? But she still obediently followed the emperor into the house.
"Concubine Qin, sit down beside me, I want to ask you, do you know a girl named Qing'er?" Xiao Lang wanted to probe Qin Concubine's tone first.
"Qing'er? Who is it? The concubine just entered the palace, and I don't know who this girl the emperor is talking about. Concubine Qin shook her head and said.
"The matter of the emperor, have you ever heard of it?" Don't know? Xiao Lang looked at Concubine Qin suspiciously, if she didn't even know each other, why did that Qing'er say that she was Concubine Qin?
"The concubines heard that the Emperor Taishang was poisoned, and the other concubines didn't know." Qin Concubine whispered.
"Qin Concubine really doesn't know?" Xiao Lang said leisurely, "But the Qing'er who was waiting for the emperor said that the poison was given to her by Concubine Qin, and said that she would frame it for the queen." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know, what is the girl called Qing'er, the concubine doesn't know it, the concubine doesn't know who wants to blame the concubine, and please ask the emperor to find out!" Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Qin was taken aback, it seems that someone is trying to frame herself, who could it be?
