Baili Qingcang's eyes lit up: "You said that those who assassinated the Praetorian Guards were captured alive by you?" ”

Chu Junyi replied: "I haven't been captured alive, only a few people have been caught, but it's enough to ask for something." ”

Baili Qingcang ordered in a cold voice: "Bring it up!" ”

Chu Junyi looked at the man in black who was brought up, and the light in his eyes was as cold as a knife: "Father, these people suddenly appeared to intercept and kill the Praetorian Guards when the princess and her sons were summoned to the palace. ”

Yin Guiren gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment: "Who knows if what you said is true?" ”

Chu Junyi turned his head to look at her, but his handsome face was cold and made his heart tremble: "Your honor, I said very clearly just now, all the Praetorian Guards were present at that time, and the commander of the Praetorian Guards could also testify." ”

"Although it is suspicious that they themselves show their identity, it cannot be counted as evidence, who knows if you did it on purpose?"

Chu Junyi sneered: "Those people took the lead in releasing a cold arrow before they appeared, if it weren't for my protection, the princess would be injured now, may I ask the nobleman, is it necessary for me to act like this?" ”

"And who can guarantee that?" Yin Guiren still gritted his teeth and insisted.

Shen Ninghua frowned and interrupted the words of the Yin nobleman: "Nobleman, the horse has already said just now, the person is in front of him, and it will be clear if you ask, why are you aggressive, you have to splash dirty water on my head?" Now you are talking so categorically, do you know what the inside story is? ”

"What can I know?"

Yin Guiren was stunned, looked up and saw Baili Qingcang's impatient expression, and suddenly shrank in her heart, she was able to be upright before, relying on the child she had just gone, if she continued to mess around, I am afraid that it will arouse the emperor's suspicion.

The queen lowered her eyes, her calm eyes crossed a wave, and the black-clothed assassins had blood on their limbs and dislocated their jaws, obviously because they had abolished their martial arts and had removed the poison sac that had been used to kill themselves.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard led men to wake up the man in black and detain him on the ground.

The black-clothed man led by him came to his senses, and when he saw the splendid hall, he subconsciously gritted his teeth hard, but he didn't want to feel empty in his mouth, only to realize that the poison sac had been pulled.

Shen Ninghua said directly: "Father, these people's outfits look like dead soldiers, it takes a long time to simply ask questions, and the results may not be satisfactory, some time ago Ning Hua and Chen Yuan are working together to develop a medicine, which can make people relax their minds, and only ten pills are configured, which can be used just right, I don't know what my father wants?" ”

"A pill that relaxes the mind?"

"Yes, this pill is extremely effective, ordinary people will take it, they will be swallowed by severe pain, only people with strong willpower can get through, the effect of the medicine is that it can blur the mind, and people can answer all questions."

"Try it." Baili Qingcang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, this kind of medicinal effect can be described as extremely miraculous, if it is used on people like imperial spies, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort.

Shen Ninghua nodded to Chen Yun: "Chen Yuan is ......"

Chen Yun nodded, and ordered someone to go to the Tai Hospital to get medicine for the black-clothed assassin.

The man in black didn't react at first, but after a while, his whole body suddenly spasmed, rolling back and forth on the ground, sweating like pulp.

The concubines sitting on the side turned their heads one after another, clutching their chests and afraid to look at them again.

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, her thoughts turned quickly, and when she said that there was this kind of pill just now, the queen had a flash of light. Although she quickly adjusted, she was still in her eyes, but after the man in black took the pill, although her expression was slightly nervous, she was not too flustered.

Could it be that she guessed wrong, these men in black were not sent by the queen, or did the men in black not know the true identity of their master at all.

The second is probably a bit larger, and it seems that further investigation is needed.

Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Baili Qingcang stared at the black-clothed man on the ground tightly, and when they stopped convulsing, he asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" ”

The man in black was stunned, and was carried by the guards to his knees, and when he heard Baili Qingcang's question, he returned a little sluggishly:

"Dead man."

"Who instructed you to assassinate the Praetorian Guard?"

"Master."

Baili Qingcang frowned, looked at Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is your master?" ”

"Master."

"Is your master Shen Ninghua or Chu Junyi?"

"It's not."

Baili Qingcang breathed a sigh of relief, sure it wasn't the two of them, his hanging heart finally let go, and he was about to continue asking, but he saw the man in black open his mouth, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and was directly silent.

Chen Yun stepped forward to check it, and reported: "Back to the emperor, this person is dead, the effect of the pill is too strong, and it is extremely damaging to the human body, these black-clothed people have been abolished martial arts before, and their bodies have been damaged, and it is already very good to be able to hold on for a while." ”

"How many pills are left?"

"Because of the rarity of materials, only ten pieces were made in total, one was just used, and there are nine left."

"Write down the materials and give them to me tomorrow."

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

In order to continue questioning, Baili Qingcang ordered to feed another pill to the remaining man in black, but unfortunately, the man in black was not strong-willed, and before he could ask, he was silent.

Baili Qingcang frowned and thought for a moment, then ordered the Praetorian Guards to take the remaining assassins into the heavenly prison and take care of them.

The queen's straight back changed slightly and slowly relaxed.

Yin Guiren knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth tightly and tore his handkerchief, the light in his eyes kept changing back and forth, the assassination of the Praetorian Guards had nothing to do with Shen Ninghua, so what about Merlin's fire?

"The Emperor's ......"

Shen Ninghua turned his head and looked at the Yin nobleman with a smile: "Does the nobleman want to say something about the fire in Merlin?" ”

"You...... Shouldn't Princess Merlin be on fire and explain it well? After all, there are so many ladies and young ladies who are injured, and if they don't deal with it properly, then the adults in the court will not agree. ”

Shen Ninghua nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "What the noble man said is right, the fire in Merlin is to be investigated clearly." Father, the son didn't understand it originally, but now he finally figured it out, and the series of things that happened today were clearly deliberately set up for the son to kill the situation! ”

Baili Qingcang naturally also noticed that something was wrong, and when he heard Shen Ninghua say this, he nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"The thief behind me first took advantage of the fact that the queen mother asked me for spices, so that the spices collectively had problems, and also found a doctor to give false testimony. Murdering concubines and imperial heirs is a capital crime of great rebellion, and this is the first murder. In order to prevent the retainers from confessing, the thief designed a second game, and made a trick on the merlin of the sons, and took the opportunity of my plum banquet to let Merlin catch fire and hurt the ladies and misses. ”

Baili Qingcang gritted his teeth: "This thief is really hateful!" ”

Shen Ninghua added: "Father, this third game is to use those black-clothed assassins to assassinate the Praetorian Guard. According to the plan, she should want to kill me and the colt directly, and if she doesn't, she will shout to rescue us. Assassinating the Praetorian Guards is almost tantamount to committing rebellion, and it is difficult to atone for the death of a son. ”

"You're right, this pile, piece by piece design is too ingenious, if it weren't for your intelligence, coupled with the horse's martial arts to catch the black-clothed assassin, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get rid of your suspicion, damn, too hateful!" The civil and military officials knelt down and were silent, they didn't expect things to evolve so quickly, and the back and forth flips were too powerful. Just when everyone was amazed in their hearts, Shen Ninghua spoke again.

"Father, there is a fourth kill!"

Everyone immediately focused their eyes on her: "And the fourth?" ”

"That's right," Shen Ninghua lowered his head and leaned over to touch the ground, his jade-colored fingertips brushed on the golden ground, and then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, "Father, this ground is coated with poison." ”

The main hall of the Chengqian Hall was smeared with poison?

Baili Qingcang was furious in his heart, this golden palace was the place where he went to court, and there was something wrong here, so where was there a safe place in his palace?

"Chen Yun, go take a look!"

Chen Yun hurriedly stepped forward to check, and found no problems in other places, and when he found Shen Ninghua kneeling, his eyebrows jumped fiercely: "Princess, get up quickly." ”

Shen Ninghua got up and stood aside.

Chen Yun carefully inspected it for a while before he replied with a solemn face: "Back to the emperor, there is no problem with most of the ground in the Chengqian Palace, only the front one, the ground has been soaked with poison, and this kind of poison has not been seen by Weichen, but it can be determined that after this poison touches the skin, it can penetrate the human body through the skin, and the harm is very huge." ”

"Ning Hua, did you find a problem with the ground and still kneel on the ground?" Chu Junyi held Shen Ninghua's hand, his face was full of worry, "Father, can you allow the princess to go down to freshen up and change clothes?" ”

"Yes, Ning Hua, you go and change your clothes, and by the way, let the imperial doctor help you check."

Shen Ninghua shook his head: "Father, this kind of poisonous minister knows. The name of the poison is very bad, once it touches the skin, it will enter the human body from the pores, you find it too late, this poison is extremely cold, there is nothing for men, but it is just a serious illness, for women, it will affect the offspring, pregnancy is easy to miscarry, and it is difficult to conceive a child in the future if you are not pregnant. ”

"What?"

Chu Junyi held Shen Ninghua's hand tightly, sweat soaked his palm: "Ninghua ......"

Shen Ninghua shook it back gently, and quietly wrote a word under the cover of his sleeves.

Chu Junyi's heart was relieved, and then he realized that a cold sweat broke out. However, his performance was even more convincing, and for a while, many concubines waiting on the side cried bitterly, and they all knelt on the ground in front of them just now: "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter and make decisions for the concubines and others!" ”
