It has been rumored that the newlywed princess of King Xianyang, who is in the whole city, died in a sedan chair, and the whole city is talking endlessly.

In the Taihua Palace, the Empress Dowager suddenly felt unwell when she heard the news, her vision was blurry, and her head was dizzy.

Yue Tao hurriedly asked the servant to call Imperial Doctor Jia.

After the treatment of Imperial Doctor Jia, he did not find any suspicious illness of the Empress Dowager, and he thought that it was possible that the Empress Dowager was in an impatient mood when she learned of this troublesome news.

After Imperial Physician Jia left, the Empress Dowager asked Yuetao to help her up.

Repatriating all the slaves and maids who were around, she took out a wooden box from a locked cabinet.

Opening the delicate wooden box, she gently removed the contents.

Squint your eyes and take a closer look at what you have in your hands.

It is a delicately carved jade unicorn.

The Empress Dowager carefully touched the carved pattern of the jade unicorn.

Her thoughts drifted away, and in her memory, she still remembered that the first time she saw this jade unicorn was many years ago.

When she was still Emperor Taiwu, she was just a little boy and maid in the palace at that time.

Emperor Taiwu was very fond of his national teacher Kou Qianzhi, and the first time she saw this jade unicorn, she was wearing it on the waist of the national teacher.

Later, the national teacher returned to the immortal, and the jade unicorn was nowhere to be found, and the second time she saw this jade unicorn was in Li Yiyuan's tomb, above the wolf girl's sword.

She was amazed and ordered the guards to bring the contents of the wolf girl's sword.

The guards finally cut the rope, and the jade unicorn fell to the muddy ground.

The wolf girl was injured and fled, and it was too late to get this precious thing back, so it was in her hands.

She once overheard from her husband, Emperor Wencheng, that this jade unicorn is a divine object, and those who possess it can see that there is a real living unicorn in this jade unicorn.

At that time, Emperor Wencheng sent someone to look for him in private, but there was no news.

Back then, this jade unicorn disappeared without a trace after returning to the immortal with the national teacher.

Now it was finally in her hands, but after years of observing it, she still didn't find anything magical about it.

She remembered that many years ago, the national teacher helped Emperor Taiwu win one battle after another, and the way to turn things around was to use the jade unicorn to cast spells.

Emperor Wencheng once said that the jade unicorn can only be used by the national teacher, and even if others have it, it is just an ordinary ornament.

But even if it's an ordinary jewelry, whoever holds it in their hands can eliminate the pain.

Over the years, whenever the Empress Dowager was upset, she would take it out and touch it when she was dizzy.

She didn't know if it was really useful for this jade unicorn to relieve the pain, or if it was her psychological effect, but after touching it, she felt a lot more comfortable.

The same was true at this time, and she felt that she was in a better mood.

The Empress Dowager's stiff expression relaxed, and she put the jade unicorn back in the box, locked it in the cabinet, and tucked the key away at the head of her bed.

The eunuch Liu Asu came to report something.

The Empress Dowager sat down on the soft couch and let her in.

Liu Asu said respectfully, "Rong Guiren is pregnant, and the emperor is accompanying him in Zhaoyang Palace." ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her expression was indifferent, and she said to herself, "She is pregnant?" ”

The Empress Dowager did not have a trace of joy, but her face was full of doubts.

Her mind thought of the wolf girl again.

After the incident in Li Yi's cemetery, she learned that the wolf girl was the famous "Thousand-Fingered Witch" on the rivers and lakes, the murderer of the town general Da Xi Xiaoyue, and the daughter of the minister Yihun raised in the rivers and lakes.

Back then, the woman broke in alone, but she wanted her life just to avenge the B family.

If it weren't for the fact that Rong Guiren was Gao Yang's daughter, she would really involve her with the wolf girl.

After coming back to her senses, the Empress Dowager frowned, and said to Liu Asu, "If you are pregnant, let the dining room make more good food and send it to Zhaoyang Palace, don't let the emperor think that the mourning family treats her badly." ”

Liu Asu Fushen, "Yes." ”

Before she turned around, Queen Feng Yueyan walked in without giving a report with a cold face.

She glanced at the eunuch who walked out towards her Fuli, and she already understood that the Empress Dowager already knew the news.

She approached the Empress Dowager with an aggrieved mouth, looked displeased, and whispered, "Rong Guiren is pregnant, what should I do in the future." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly and muttered: "You look better to the emperor, it is only a matter of time before you have a child." ”

Feng Yueyan promised, "But the emperor rarely comes to Yongle Palace, so how can Yan'er have children." ”

The Empress Dowager said lightly, "Okay, the mourning family understands that the mourning family will let the emperor go to your Yongle Palace more often." ”

With the Empress Dowager's words, Feng Yueyan's face was slightly smiling.

Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, Xing Luan sat in front of the book case and had a headache.

The hussar general Gao Yang had already come to ask about Gao Li's sudden death, and all he could give was Gao Li's poisoning and death.

The emperor asked him to investigate carefully, and he had to go all out.

At this time, he came to the conclusion that he was poisoned, but he still did not know what kind of poison he had been infected.

Thinking that Gao Li died in the sedan chair, then the poisoning must have been before getting on the sedan chair.

The sedan chair departed from Gaofu and died halfway.

He could only go to Gaofu to check it out first, and with the people from the yamen, he went directly to Gaofu without stopping.

Gao Yang didn't stop him, and asked the housekeeper Cao to take him directly to Gao Li's boudoir.

Steward Cao said respectfully on the side, "There is Lord Yin of Laofu, the eldest lady is still in a coma because of this matter, I hope that the adult can solve the case as soon as possible." ”

"I will do my best." Xingluan glanced at him and ignored him, examining everything in the room.

Everything in the room was normal, nothing was poisonous, and Xing Luan silently thought about what made Gao Li poisoned.

He knew the flower when he saw the bottle of water on the flower stand. Once he went to the south, he saw this flower, the flower name Lingbo fairy, is a more beautiful ornamental plant, although it is somewhat poisonous, but it will not kill people.

The juice of this flower can only make people's skin red and swollen, and it is not very toxic.

Aside from the flower, he hadn't found anything poisonous.

But as he scanned the room, there were faint footprints above the wooden pillars in the room.

He took a closer look, and the faint footprints were man's, and women didn't have such long feet.

Xing Luan gave the head catcher next to him a look and said, "Go up and have a look." ”

The catcher jumped up and onto the cantilever.

Xingluan looked up and waited for a discovery.

"My lord, there are footprints on this too." That catcher said excitedly.

Xing Luan was pleasantly surprised, judging from the position on the beam, the teapot on the table was placed below.

He lifted the lid of the teapot, and it was clean, not a drop of tea.

With this clue, Xing Luan didn't want to let go.

Steward Cao obeyed his orders and asked the servants and maids of the palace to gather in the courtyard.

Gao Yang sat on the chair he had moved out, looking at the kneeling servants below with an angry face.

Gao Xian was silent beside him, also full of doubts.

Xing Luan asked solemnly, "Who cleaned the tea kettle in Miss Gao's room?" ”

Among the black slaves, one of the slaves trembled with fright and replied, "It's a slave." ”

Xing Luan stared at her, "Why did you wash the teapot?" Is it because the evidence is to be washed away! ”

The slave and maid hurriedly kowtowed and said in a panic, "It's not like this, Ziyu asked the slave to clean the teapot." ”

At this time, Ziyu's face turned purple with fright, and she blurted out the slave's words, "The slave maid was also instructed by the eldest lady, and the eldest lady instructed the slave and maid before she got on the sedan chair, and after she got married, she would clean the house at any time, and if she returned to the house, she would still live in her own yard." The slave and maid did so, and the slave and maid did not do anything privately, and asked the adults to find out. ”

Gao Yang's face was gloomy and he spoke, "Ziyu, don't tell the truth, who instructed you to poison the eldest lady!" ”

Ziyu trembled and cried, "It's really not the slave maid who did it, Ziyu has been with the eldest lady for many years, and she is loyal to the eldest lady, please check it out, master." ”

Gao Yang slapped the chair handle abruptly and said angrily, "Even if you don't poison you, you are also an accomplice, and you don't know the truth quickly!" ”

Ziyu's mind was full of fear, and she didn't know how to explain it at this time.

Suddenly, she thought of the secret, she didn't want to care so much anymore, her life was important.

"It's definitely Miss Two."

When she said this, Ziyu panicked with fear, the second miss at this time was a noble person of the emperor, could she push such a heavy sinful thought to the second miss?

She felt like she should have died sooner.

Ziyu regretted it, but the words had already been spoken.

Gao Xian looked stunned, and hurriedly shouted, "Ziyu, what are you talking nonsense!" ”

The look of surprise on Xing Luan's face was no less than that of Gao Xian.

Gao Yang paused, glared at Ziyu, and shouted angrily again, "What do you slave know, you are from the truth." ”

Gao Xian looked panicked, but his tone was a little slower, "Ziyu, you can't talk nonsense, the crime of framing others is not small, and she is still a nobleman." ”

Ziyu was dumbfounded and at a loss.

"Say it quickly." Gao Yang roared.

Ziyu was so frightened that her body trembled, she was already dying, so she had to tell Gao Li's secret.

She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "The robbers that the second miss encountered on the way back to Pingcheng were the work of the eldest lady, and the second miss should know." There is also the second lady who rolled down from the stone bridge, and the eldest lady deliberately mixed her feet, and the second lady should also be clear. ”

She stole a glance at the old man's face as she spoke.

Gao Yang was already terrifyingly gloomy.

Ziyu shuddered and said in one breath unequivocally, "The second miss may know what the eldest lady has done, so she killed the eldest lady." ”

From the meaning of this slave's words, Rong Guiren can't escape suspicion, and Xing Luan's heart is dull, how should this case be good?

Gao Yang smiled coldly and looked at Xingluan, "What should Master Xing do about this?" Even if Rong Guiren is my daughter and the emperor's nobleman, but if he is really the murderer, will Master Xing deal with it according to law? ”

Gao Xian frowned tightly at this time, unable to believe that it would be the second sister.

"My second sister's temperament, I know very well, it is impossible to do these things."

Gao Xian's words were not only for Xingluan, but also for his father.

Gao Yang shouted at him angrily, "You don't talk much!" ”

Xing Luan knew the seriousness of the matter, and said half-loudly, "This matter cannot be convicted according to the words of a slave and maid, and it must be investigated clearly." ”

After he glanced at Gao Yang, he stopped his gaze on the purple jade again, and ordered the catcher around him, "First press this slave to the government prison." ”

The situation has developed like this, which Tuoba Hong did not expect.

When he listened to Xing Luan's report on the dragon chair in the Taihe Palace, his face was gloomy and terrifying than anyone else.
