Later, I drank the sobering soup specially ordered by the queen mother and the emperor. At that time, the queen mother and the emperor both bowed their heads to me, and some palace people explained it, so I didn't worry too much. ”

Then he went to the bedroom in the side hall to change his clothes, but there was no incense or smell in the bedroom. Therefore, there should be no incense or anything like that. ”

"In the end, it was the palace maid who crashed into me. At that time, she did have some rouge smell on her, but I have been in the Sanfa Division for many years, and I have never encountered a drug that can stun people with just one rub on her body. ”

But the truth is, he really lost consciousness after that. Even if people moved, there was no reaction.

"As for the Fish Intestine Sword, I always carry it with me, and I can be sure that the Fish Intestine Sword will still be by my side before I lose consciousness."

Xu Chu bit his lower lip, shook his head after a moment of thought, and said, "If only it could be proved that the third prince died before you fell into a coma." It's just that the time interval is too short, and the characteristics of the corpses are not much different. Second, even if this can really be verified, others are afraid that they will say that you did it on purpose, and they will definitely not believe that you were stunned. ”

"Besides, the palace has always been cautious in the use of medicines, and the delivery of items from outside the palace to the palace will go through several checks, and it is difficult to find out where the drugs that make you fall asleep come from. Do you have any ideas for this? Xu Chu paused for a moment, and suddenly a bright light flashed in her mind, and then she asked, "Is it possible that someone then sent cloth and something like that, turned the medicinal powder into a potion and soaked it in it, and then sent it to the palace and then someone refined the medicinal powder?" ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that she said as if she was doing something, and couldn't help but sneer and said, "Xiao Chu, have you read too much of the book with Mingzhu?" The palace is not as good as the side, and now it is not the time to make a stove, where is the condition in the palace to make a fire to refine medicinal powder? Moreover, all foreign fabrics and clothes will be inspected by a special person, and the materials that have been soaked in water will inevitably be different, and all materials with abnormal materials will not be allowed to enter the palace. At this point, don't say that what people piggyback on is what was sent into the palace by powerful officials of the previous dynasty to give their daughters who were concubines, and the rules are the same. ”

In other words, the medicinal powder either came from the palace or was carried directly from outside the palace.

Xu Chu pursed his lips, his mood was complicated for a while, and he couldn't find the slightest clue.

How did the medicine come from, and what kind of medicine it was, so that the two doctors in the hospital couldn't see it.

Moreover, even if it is mandala powder, it can only blur the consciousness and make people delirious, and it cannot completely lose consciousness. If you have taken a mandala and then been moved, according to Xiao Qinglang's vigilant instinct, most of you will be awakened.

"Could it be the so-called hemp boiling powder that was just developed by Aunt Chu and others in the palace?"

Since it can make people faint and then let the doctor cut the skin and flesh to deal with the lesion, it means that it is enough to make people feel no pain. However, how was Ma Boiling Scattered brought into the palace? And how did it fall into the hands of those who set up the bureau?

Xiao Qinglang bowed his head, raised his eyebrows and said softly: "I want you to investigate this matter." If this is the case, then there must be something wrong in the palace, and Xu Qizuo and Aunt Chu are afraid that they will also be in danger. ”

Xu Chu's heart tightened, and he frowned and said, "Today." On your way to the palace, you didn't bring a single guard with you......"

"Naturally, Wei Guang and Wei Yan were asked to personally protect Xu Yanzuo and Aunt Chu. Since it has been expected that someone will attack you and me, the person who will do it will definitely try to get rid of other people who know. Person. What's more, in the hands of Xu Qizuo and Aunt Chu, there is still direct evidence. ”

"Lord Wang, is it possible that it will be ......?"

Her semantics were unclear, but it didn't prevent Xiao Qinglang from understanding what she meant.

Xiao Qinglang shook his head, "It won't be the emperor, if it was the emperor, things wouldn't be so complicated." He only needs to find a difficult and serious case in the field, and then assign me to Beijing and then carry out assassination on the road, so why bother to do so much in the palace. Besides, he is still in front of King Su. ”

At the time of the first emperor, King Su's line would still be ready to move, let alone now. Even if the emperor knew the truth and wanted to get rid of him, he would not choose to enter the palace when King Su and others entered the palace.

"Besides, since the emperor asked us to track down the secret passage and the people behind the scenes, it is enough to show that he doesn't know the inside story." Xiao Qinglang said in a firm tone, "So the most likely person is someone like Wang Yangming who is familiar with Emperor Chengzong or the inability of the first emperor to have children." ”

Xu Chu nodded, and suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being. Although she still had some doubts, she also believed Xiao Qinglang's analysis.

"Then you need to check the palace people in the first emperor's years?"

This matter is unlikely to be a hidden danger left by the people of Emperor Chengzong. The person who laid out the layout should be in a high position, at least the palace lady or the eunuch in charge. Therefore, it is possible to mobilize manpower and set up a bureau. If it was a person at the time of Emperor Chengzong, he would have been at least eighty years old by now. Not to mention the palace people who are over eighty years old, it is impossible for the palace to exist at all, just say that the palace stewards will not be activated if they are over sixty years old. So, this is not true.

Xiao Qinglang nodded, leaning on the back of the chair somewhat casually, his face was handsome and elegant, and he did not see the slightest anxiety and irritability. This made Xu Chu's heart gradually calm down.

"Another thing, in the early years I was poisoned by carelessness, and since then, whenever and wherever I attend a banquet, whenever and wherever I have used, I will secretly leave a half-finger mark on the cups and chopsticks I use."

After the palace banquet, the palace people will clean themselves, and when cleaning the dishes, some broken ones will naturally be disposed of. Therefore, every time Xiao Qinglang left the table, he would shake the dishes and other objects used with internal force to crack half of his fingers.

If he returns to the feast, he will find the palace to replace it with a new set of dishes.

However, because he rarely goes to banquets, and he never goes to banquets occasionally, no one knows this.

After Xiao Qinglang finished asking, Xu Chu glanced at the scribe who was following behind him and pretended not to exist, and asked, "But it's all recorded?" ”

"Back to my lord, it's been recorded." The scribe didn't dare to raise his head, and even kept wailing in his heart, he was just here to record the case, how could he see that King Jing'an, who had always been cold-faced and iron-blooded, was so tender to Lord Xu? Moreover, when listening to the prince and Lord Xu interrogating, he also flirted and scolded about some things between men and women.

He raised his head slightly, and then hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head. Oops, he seems to have seen that the prince has been holding Lord Xu's hand until now...... No wonder Lord Tang told him several times that no matter what scene he saw, he must not lose his temper, and he must maintain the calm appearance that he is used to.

He estimated that the small actions between the prince and Lord Xu were probably commonplace for Lord Tang for a long time.

Thinking of this, the scribe's gaze when he looked at Xu Chu again was even more reverent. After all, before this, he had never seen a person who could be so "presumptuous" in front of the prince like Lord Xu. Of course, I have never seen the prince so "kind" to others.

Xu Chu took the booklet recorded by the scribe, and after reading it carefully, he asked Xiao Qinglang to sign it.

For this, Xu Chu is actually very happy. She really didn't expect that the three legal divisions were quite similar to their previous lives in terms of criminal investigation and interrogation, at least the system was very perfect.

"It is also a blessing that the emperor temporarily imprisoned the prince in the warm pavilion. After all, although there are doubts in the case between the third prince and Yan Liu's family, as Concubine De said, those doubts are not enough to clear the prince's charges. ”

Xiao Qinglang saw her bite her lower lip with her teeth, and couldn't help but raise his hand to caress her cheek. When his slightly rough fingertips touched the crimson softness, his chest, which had always been calm, throbbed violently until it turned into a pool of spring water.

He knew she was worried about her situation, and he knew that, in his heart, he didn't want her to take on too much. However, I have to say that Leng Qing is like him, every time he sees his own Xiao Chu worrying about himself, he will feel a huge sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Tomorrow morning, whatever words you hear, don't be impulsive, don't argue for me. This matter involves the royal family and the royal palace, and even the entire three law divisions, so it is no longer a simple matter of grievances or crimes. ”

Xiao Qinglang knew in his heart that his existence had shocked many people with evil intentions, and naturally he knew how many people were thorns in their eyes. In the past, those people had nothing to do with him, but now that they have the opportunity, I am afraid that those people will not be able to let go easily.

When the three princes died, the three princesses committed suicide on the spot, and Mrs. Yan Shao was raped, even if this matter could not be clearly detected. But it can also make people with a heart relate, and then guess a little bit of the inside story.

Besides, according to Concubine De's hatred for him now, he can't hide this matter.

Xu Chu lowered his eyes, pursed the corners of his mouth tightly and did not respond. She didn't want to do that, and at this point she didn't want to think about the principles of self-preservation at all.

"No matter how many people and things are involved, in my eyes, as long as you can find out this case, you can clear your grievances." After being silent for a long time, Xu Chu raised his head and said solemnly and firmly, "I will implore the emperor to agree to my personal autopsy, and I will also fight for the prince's reason, and I can't follow those people's wishes for the sake of the so-called royal face." ”

After speaking, she leaned closer to Xiao Qinglang, looked at him with burning emotions in her eyes, and muttered similarly: "I don't care about the sidelines, I just want you to be safe." ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that her expression was unprecedentedly resolute, and her heart seemed to be blocked by something, suffocating but surging with a hot emotion. After a while, he squinted and raised his hand to wrap the person directly to his chest, his forehead was close to her forehead, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Chu...... In any case, don't fold yourself in. If one day, there is no chance to turn around this matter, then you must promise me to follow Wei Guang and Xu Tongzuo and others out of the capital. ”
