Xiao Yu took the purse from the guard, there was nothing in the purse, and the pattern on the purse was quite familiar, but he didn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Nie Yan didn't know if any of the people present recognized Manzhu Shahua, but it was certain that Xiao Yu would definitely investigate, and instead of being exposed by someone at that time, it was better to recognize it himself first, in case someone made a fuss.

Nie Yan took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the embroidery on this purse is Nanzhan's unique Manzhu Shahua. ”

"Manju Sahua?"

After being reminded by Nie Yan, Xiao Yu remembered that in his early years, Nanzhan had given a Manzhu Sawa plant, which was the reign of the first emperor at that time, and the first emperor gave it to the most favored Ruimin Imperial Concubine.

With Xiao Yu's identity at that time, he only glanced at it from a distance, and he didn't think about it for a while.

"Since it's your Nanzhan country's thing, is this palace maid an assassin sent by Nanzhan?" Empress Xu asked Nie Yan sharply.

Before Nie Yan could explain, she was interrupted by Xiao Yu first: "The queen is cautious! The stakes are high, and you must not draw conclusions based on a single tip! ”

was reprimanded by Xiao Yu in public, Queen Xu's face was a little embarrassed, and she said: "The concubine lost her words, and Your Majesty atoned for her sins." ”

As soon as Empress Xu's words fell, Nie Yan said: "Your Majesty has clearly observed that although this Manzhu Sawa is Nanzhan's thing, what was found from Ruyu's body is only a purse embroidered with the Manzhu Sawa pattern, and this cannot prove that the assassination was instigated by Nanzhan." Besides......"

Nie Yan paused when she said this, and looked meaningfully at Concubine Qi, who was already in a trance.

Xiao Yu understood what Nie Yan meant.

If you enter the palace as Concubine Qi's attendant, you have always been a person from the Zhenguo Mansion before that, if you really count it, the first person who should be asked is the Zhenguo Mansion.

"You're slandering!" Concubine Qi flatly denied it.

The crime of assassinating the emperor cannot be afforded even by the Zhenguo Mansion. At this time, the Beiqing Palace, which has an in-law relationship, wants to avoid suspicion, who makes the Beiqing Palaces also the blood of the royal family?

In this way, it is much greater than Nan Zhan's motives.

At that time, Xu Lin, the chief manager beside Xiao Yu, came in from outside the hall, and after saluting Xiao Yu and the concubines, he walked into Xiao Yu and whispered a few words.

Nie Yan frowned slightly, could it be that she found something?

After a while, Xu Lin gave up and stepped aside.

Xiao Yu looked at Concubine Qi with a complicated expression, and finally said, "Xu Lin found aconite powder from this assassin's room, and among the pastries you used today, there are these things. ”

Concubine Qi's face turned pale, even if she was ignorant, at this time, she knew that it was the people around her who she had always trusted who had poisoned her, and she still misled herself, thinking that Nie Yan had harmed the imperial heir in her womb with witchcraft.

Concubine Qi could no longer hold her already weak body, and as soon as her eyes were dark, she collapsed on the bed.

At this time, the imperial doctor summoned by Empress Xu finally arrived.

Fortunately, because it was an assassination, they all thought that the emperor was sick, and there were as many as five imperial doctors who came, otherwise there were now two unconscious concubines, and I didn't know who to save first.

Concubine Qi is not a big deal, but her heart is depressed, and her body is overconsumed, so she just needs to recuperate.

However, Concubine De is a little troublesome.

The doctor has taken out the poisonous arrow on Concubine De's body, and the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated the poison in Concubine De's snake venom, although it is not unsolvable, but because the wound is close to the heart vein, whether it can survive depends on the will of God.

"Your Majesty, toss all night, let's rest first, and then deal with it tomorrow." Empress Xu felt sorry for Xiao Yu and said.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "You guys should step back first, and I will accompany Concubine De here." ”

Empress Xu's expression was slightly gloomy when she heard this, and she reluctantly said: "I want to have the company of Your Majesty, and Sister Concubine De will be able to wake up soon." The concubine retired first. ”

Xiao Yu replied vaguely, but she didn't look at Queen Xu again, she knew that if Concubine De could wake up, she would surely be favored to a higher level.

After Empress Xu left, Nie Yan and Concubine Yun also retired together.

Nie Yan was about to leave, but Xiao Yu explained: "Recently, the palace has been restless, and Beichen Palace is a secluded place, so you should come out less." ”

Hearing this, Nie Yan's heart sank, is this a grounding in disguise? Xiao Yu still doubted her in the end.

"The concubine has a word, please listen to it." Nie Yan was never willing to leave like this, maybe she would never have a chance to explain when she left.

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, but still said, "Say it." ”

"If you come from the beginning, you are here to accuse your concubines of plotting to kill the emperor's heirs, if you are really from Nanzhan, how can you push your concubines to death?"

"Perhaps, she's just there to protect you?" Xiao Yu asked rhetorically.

Xiao Yu has this suspicion, and it is not without reason.

Nie Yan knew that if it were herself, she would probably be the same as Xiao Yu, thinking that this was just a scene to get herself out.

But Xiao Yu had forgotten the most important point, and Nie Yan felt that she had to say it.

"Forgive the concubine bluntly, if Your Majesty is plotted, what good will it do with the concubine? What's in it for you to look at Nanzhan? Nie Yan said without hesitation.

Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard this, yes, Nanzhan and Chu did not have a war, and there was a huge disparity in strength, even if Chu was assassinated by the emperor, Nanzhan did not have the strength to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, the assassination of Xiao Yu is meaningless to Nan Zhan.

"I'll start with Concubine Qi's miscarriage." Xiao Yu said.

Nie Yan knew that Xiao Yuken was willing to say this sentence, which was the limit. Although it does not completely rule out her suspicion, it can be regarded as a great expression of his trust.

"Your Majesty! The concubine retired. ”

Nie Yan walked out of the inner hall, but saw Concubine Yun still standing at the palace gate. It looks like he's waiting for himself.

"I've seen the lady lady." Concubine Yun saw Nie Yan coming and saluted.

Nie Yan motioned for Concubine Yun to be excused and asked, "Why is Sister Concubine Yun still here?" The night is as cool as water, but don't hurt your body. ”

Concubine Yun smiled: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine is waiting for Niangniang here, but I want to say something to Niangniang." ”

"If my sister has something to say, you might as well say it directly." Nie Yan said politely.

Concubine Yun recalled: "When the assassin was assassinated, the concubine saw a tattoo on her right wrist, but because the sleeve was covered, the concubine didn't see what it looked like, but the exposed part looked like a bird's claws. Specifically, I have to find out by myself. ”

When Nie Yan heard this, she didn't ask about the tattoo, but said, "Why did you tell this palace?" I'm not afraid that the assassin is really related to Nan Zhan, you know so much, this palace won't kill you? ”

Concubine Yun smiled when she heard this: "If that assassin is really sent by Nanzhan, why does Niang Niang come to make peace now?" Concubine Qi has been in the palace for a long time, if she wants to assassinate the emperor, there are many opportunities, why do you have to wait for the arrival of the mother? ”
