Zhao Xunzhi's hand froze in place: Could it be that Concubine Lan of Shulan Palace attacked Concubine Wen again? His former kindness not only failed to help the emperor, but made him lose his child?

Perhaps, he killed the assassin for Concubine Lan and concealed everything, which was the greatest harm to the emperor and Concubine Wen. He felt guilty and felt that he had done something wrong.

Inside the Mingyang Palace.

Cheng Qian was sitting in the courtyard, and in front of him, there was Mo Lanyan with messy hair kneeling. Zhao Yuan searched Shulan Palace and came back, kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, the ministers searched Shulan Palace and found these things......"

Zhao Yuan's hand was spread behind him, and behind him, several guards were holding several three-inch wooden boxes and walking in front of Cheng Qian, kneeling on the ground.

"Imperial Physician Liu." Cheng Qian called Liu Yanzhang, who had been standing behind him: "You go and check it." ”

"Yes." Liu Yanzhang got the order and walked in the direction of Zhao Yuan, Concubine Lan's face turned pale.

Liu Yanzhang opened the small boxes one by one, and in order to avoid mistakes, he tasted them one by one, and when it came to the last wooden box, his face changed, and people brought the brazier.

A white pill the size of an adzuki bean is placed in an iron spoon and slowly approached the fire, giving off a strange fragrance.

Liu Yanzhang took the cup of tea held by the palace maid next to him and poured it on the iron spoon: "Your Majesty, in this last box, there is no doubt that it is ylang-ylang." ”

Mo Lanyan suddenly sat on the ground: "Your Majesty, why do you ...... today?" Suddenly searched the concubine's bedroom. She only knew that Concubine Wen had a miscarriage, but she didn't know the reason, and thought that Su Wenmei had told the emperor about the strange situation of the Gu Mansion a few days ago, and she suddenly became troubled today.

Cheng Qian slowly walked to Mo Lanyan's side, his face full of gloom: "It's you, who smeared ylang-ylang and strychnine on Jade Guanyin and dedicated them to Concubine Wen?" ”

"Nope!" Mo Lanyan couldn't stop shaking her head, and reached out to grab his trouser leg: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't, the concubines don't!" ”

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something: Jade Guanyin was sent to Concubine Wen by the people she sent around her, but in Shulan Palace, other palace maids can also come into contact with this Jade Guanyin, could it be that there is a mole around her? !

"Your Majesty! This must have been framed by someone, the emperor, and the concubines asked for a thorough investigation! Concubine Lan cried.

Cheng Qian was displeased, Su Wenmei had just lost her child, and now she was still resting in the palace, how could she stand up to such a noise. He frowned: "Shut up! ”

He said to Zhao Yuan on the side: "Put it in prison first, and then try it later." ”

"Yes." Zhao Yuan took the order and went out.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao Xunzhi asks to see you." After Xiao Lizi finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Xunzhi who came in.

"Your Majesty!" The person who came in knelt on one knee: "Zhao Xunzhi see the emperor."

"What?" Cheng Qian was displeased, Mingyang Palace was in a mess at this time, and he didn't know what Zhao Xunzhi was doing when he came at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty! When Concubine Wen had not yet entered the palace, Concubine Lan sent someone to assassinate Concubine Wen, and the court was unstable at that time, so Weichen took matters into his own hands and executed the person who assassinated Concubine Wen. ”

"Lord Zhao!" Mo Lanyan knelt on the ground: "Who instructed you to slander this palace!" Do you have evidence for everything? Her words were agitated, rather hysterical.

If the private possession of ylang-ylang incense is only a crime of obscenity in the court, then the crime of killing the dragon heir is added to one degree, and now if the fact of murdering the concubine is confirmed, then her life may not be saved.

When Zhao Xunzhi heard this, he agreed: "Niangniang, the evidence is in your backyard, am I right?" When you entered the palace back then, you went to the Internal Affairs Office to allocate spring water and Ah Yin to serve, in fact, not only because they were to your liking, but also because they were from the Mo family, right? ”

"Later, Weichen threw Ah Yin's body back into your courtyard, and it was also buried by Niangniang, right?" Back then, Zhao Xunzhi watched them bury Ah Yin before he left. The palace is important, and there are guards patrolling all around, and no one dares to transport the corpse out of the palace. Therefore, the corpse must still be in Shulan Palace.

Later, Concubine Lan reported to Concubine Xian, saying that Ayin's mother was seriously ill and had returned to her hometown, and Concubine Xiangui was also approved. So the matter was suppressed at the time. If it weren't for Mo Lanchang's "demon" again, this matter would never have been exposed.

Back then, after Zhao Xunzhi killed Ah Yin, he felt guilty about Su Wenmei and Bing'er. They almost died at the hands of the assassins, but Mo Lanyan was spared because of Zhao Xunzhi's thoughts.

Now she has done even worse things, maybe, last time Gu Fu, Yilan Xiang's matter also had her share, Zhao Xunzhi thought about it, looking at her denial, he couldn't help but feel very disgusted.

"Someone!" Cheng Qian instructed: "Detain all the cadres of Shulan Palace." According to Lord Zhao, digging three feet into the ground must also find the assassin's body. ”

"Yes." Zhao Yuan led the people and walked towards Shulan Palace again. Cheng Qian also walked in the direction of Shulan Palace, and behind him, two guards escorted Mo Lanyan away.

In Shulan Palace, several guards worked together to dig in the direction pointed out by Zhao Xunzhi, and it didn't take long for a game of Sensen's white bones to be dug up, and when everyone saw it, they couldn't help but look at Mo Lanchang, who was escorted and kneeling on the ground.

Mo Lanchang's eyes darkened and she fainted.

Cheng Qian's face was extremely ugly, if it weren't for the conclusive evidence, he wouldn't believe that Mo Lanyan was such a vicious woman.

"Escort her to the Criminal Department, Shulan Palace and others, and be interrogated by Lord Zhao personally." Cheng Qian spoke, walked out of Shulan Palace, and was unwilling to look at Mo Lanyan again.

In the Criminal Department, Mo Lanchang was imprisoned in the prison, screaming incessantly, anxiously banging on the iron door of the Criminal Department, and his fingers were gray. The subordinates in her palace were undergoing a severe torture, and there was a wail of crying and grabbing the ground from the criminal department.

"Ah-" After some severe torture, a few hours later, a palace maid couldn't stand the torture, and wailed heartbreakingly: "I recruit, I recruit ......"

This shout was like a breakthrough, and many people heard it, and they also begged for mercy and confessed. Mo Lanyan's fingers let go of the iron prison, and her face was like ashes.

Now, it's really over.

One of Concubine Lan's subordinates, in order to alleviate the criminal law, confided in the past Gu Mansion. In the past, Su Wenmei was framed in the Gu Mansion, and Concubine Lan was also involved.

Zhao Yuanshun touched the melon and found the virtuous concubine. The matter was serious, so he reported it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." Zhao Yuan knelt on the ground and said, "Recently, the concubine was in the cold palace, shouting that she was wronged, should the concubine be escorted out and re-interrogated about the affairs of the year?"

Cheng Qian frowned and pondered. Back then, the concubine took the initiative to admit her guilt, but now she is crying out for injustice. Presumably, there is something strange in it. He thought about it, and nodded, "Pass her in."

Cheng Qianlong was furious and ordered Concubine Lan to take away her title and exile her to the frontier; The virtuous concubine was demoted to the position of concubine and stripped of the power of the assistant six palaces.

If it weren't for the virtuous concubine having such a powerful father as Prime Minister Zhuang Cheng, she knelt outside Cheng Qian's palace for her all night, but I was afraid that the end would be the same as Mo Lanchang.

After a few days, Su Wenmei's body was just getting better, so she went to see Mo Lanyan, who was in prison. The prison was dim, and when she saw Su Wenmei, she rushed towards her with cracked eyes, and kept banging on the door: "Slut! It has to be you! You designed Zhao Xunzhi to expose me, right! ”

Su Wenmei was unwavering: "If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do." Lan Fei ...... Oh no, Moran, don't you think you're doing something wrong? In the beginning, I never wanted to be your enemy! ”

"I didn't even know you, so you sent a killer to take my life, and you said, I'll let you sleep soundly? This kind of fruit was planted by yourself in the first place! ”

"Concubine Wen!" Mo Lanyan's body softened suddenly, and she sat on the ground: "I beg you, please let me go, the emperor likes you so much, you go and beg the emperor, the emperor will definitely spare me, and I will definitely not go against you again in the future."

"No matter what you want me to do in the future, I will listen to you. That ylang-ylang and strychnine, it's really not me, it's really not me. Mo Lanyan said, but Su Wenmei slowly turned around and walked away step by step.

Like Mo Lanchang, who is not greedy enough, if she forgives the first time, she will have a second assassination. Su Wenmei didn't want to risk her life anymore.

Originally, she just wanted her Yilanxiang's matter to be exposed, and it was enough to fall into the cold palace, but she didn't expect to kill Zhao Xunzhi halfway and force Mo Lanyan into a dead frame in one fell swoop.

So be it, this is the retribution she deserves.

Su Wenmei thought and walked towards Mingyang Palace. Bing'er beside her spoke: "Niangniang, the slave maid heard that the virtuous concubine was sent down, and she was very dissatisfied, and she was losing her temper in Fangyi Palace!"

"Leave her alone." Su Wenmei said. Zhuang Xianren is also an embroidered pillow, without the position of concubine, without the instructions of Mo Lanyan and the Queen Mother, what else can she do?

Let her live in Fangyi Palace may be the biggest punishment for her. However, if she fights for her father, who is an official in the court, and takes her a hand at the peak of her life, it is not impossible to make a comeback.

But that's another story. Without Mo Lanchang's guidance, a Zhuang sage is not afraid.

On Su Wenmei's way back to Mingyang Palace, the setting sun stretched her back long, looking lonely and lonely. These days, she is in the palace every day, in addition to getting up in the morning to accept the greetings of the concubines, she is reading and painting, or talking to Cheng Qian.

She often misses the days when she was messing with Cheng Ye outside the palace, Cheng Ye is a free and interesting person in his bones, so that after he has been gone for a long time, Su Wenmei can still think of him occasionally.

Xixia is hot and dry, and I don't know how Cheng Ye is now. Hearing that he had won a battle with General Li Xian, the envoys of Western Xia came to negotiate peace. Maybe in the near future, Cheng Ye's army will return to the DPRK.

Dry main hall.

There were two envoys kneeling outside the door, one was tall and the other was relatively petite, and the two got Cheng Qian's permission and walked to the main hall.
