And he is alone, how can he make up for the harm he has brought to these innocent people. He thought about it many times, but he couldn't know it, and he couldn't get around.

"Your Majesty, the old slave understands what you feel in your heart, but as the person who often serves you by your side, the old slave still has to persuade you." As the person around Dugu Yi who can best understand his thoughts, Gao Gonggong also comforted him.

"Your Majesty, people's life and death have their own lives, and the death of Marquis Anyang was not directly caused by you, so you don't have to blame yourself too much. Besides, the emperor, you have already safely let Concubine Yun go home, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of the family of the Marquis of Anyang. People can't be resurrected after death, I only hope that the spirit of Anyang Hou in the sky can bless you, and the old slave is also willing to help you pray together, his family can live the life they want from now on, and your emperor will not be sad anymore. ”

Grandpa Gao's words were not in vain.

Not to mention whether it is against conscience, Dugu Yi felt guilty in his heart, how could he not think about it, but Gao Gonggong, who was watching next to him, had to choose reason.

For An Wenxun's death, Dugu Yi may have a certain reason, but he is still the king of a country, and he can't always be in these things. He still has big things to accomplish, and he can't lock himself in a small world.

Hearing what Father-in-law Gao said, Duguyi also figured it out a little, so he no longer struggled.

"Then the emperor, now that the time has passed, do you still want to go and see the queen mother? If you get it, don't let the queen wait in a hurry, if you don't go, the old slave will wait for you to rest early. Gao Gonggong was thoughtful, and asked Dugu Yi again.

"Father-in-law Gao, wait for the widow to rest. The widow had no intention of celebrating with the queen at this time, and did not want to bring such emotions to her. ”

"Back to the emperor, the old slave understands."

"Mother, I brought her."

It was a long time at night, and the sky was already dark, but the lights in Wang Xiaojun's Fengming Palace had not been turned off.

I saw her sitting on the couch, wearing a thin blue shirt, and a satin jacket covered with brocade yarn that was not crooked. Apparently just got out of bed.

With the arrival of the palace maid Xi'er, Wang Xiaojun immediately asked her: "There are some words and things to do, have the Ying Meiren told you today?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the concubine Niangniang, the warbler beauty she ...... She had spoken to the slave maid. Answering Wang Xiaojun's words with his head down, his voice was still a little nervous and trembling, and he was about to stutter every time he didn't say half a sentence.

"You don't have to be afraid of Hongu." Seeing her like this, Wang Xiaojun said to her again: "This palace didn't call you to ask you about your sin. This palace just adds some words to you, as long as you do what this palace tells you to do, after the deed is done, this palace will reward you heavily, and it is more than three times that of the warbler beauty. Do you understand. ”

"Slave maid...... The slave and maid understand, please ask the mother to command. After that, Wang Xiaojun secretly said a few words to her, and after the palace maid understood, Wang Xiaojun instructed her again:

"Remember, if it is done, this palace will reward you. If the matter is revealed, you will do what the palace tells you, and the palace will find a way to protect you, and still reward you, but if you go against the will of the palace, then the consequences should not be said by the palace. ”

"Slave maid...... The slave and maid understood, and listened to the mother's meaning. ”

After that, after a short while, Xi'er immediately took the palace maid away, and Wang Xiaojun still took off the outer jacket and went back to sleep.

The night passed, and the next morning, as is the usual characteristic of autumn, it was another sunny day.

Not long after breakfast, Chen Yanxue came to this Fengluan Palace with her personal maid Luan'er as usual, chatting and playing with Yang Ziqi.

And said that when Chen Yanxue felt that Yang Ziqi's new clothes were very beautiful today, she didn't feel thirsty, so she ordered Ah Xiu to make tea.

It was also at this time that Duguyi also came.

Because of Yang Ziqi's birthday yesterday, he couldn't come over to accompany her, and he was a little sorry in his heart, and he couldn't rest assured that he cared about her, so he also had breakfast early and came to this Fengluan Palace.

Seeing Chen Yanxue happen to be here more than once, I am afraid that even Duguyi's heart can't help but sigh that Chen Yanxue and Yang Ziqi are really almost inseparable.

"Your Majesty, you're here." The two sisters said goodbye to Dugu Yi, and then sat down to chat.

"Your Majesty, why did you come here so early." Seeing Dugu Yi, Yang Ziqi couldn't help but ask him.

"Zi period, the widow stumbled on something last night and couldn't come to accompany you, so I came to see you earlier today."

"That's right." Yang Ziqi listened, and couldn't help but laugh again: "Xue'er just sat down on the front foot, and you came behind you, I don't know, I really thought that the two of you had made an appointment." ”

"Sister Ziji, Xue'er hasn't been able to speak yet, so you just make fun of me." Chen Yanxue listened, so she also replied to her: "-The emperor came to see you early in the morning because he cared about you, as for me, I ran here as soon as I was idle......"

While talking, he became more and more energetic, and between the lines of this joke, it seemed that Chen Yanxue and Dugu Yi were competing for the favor of Yang Zi.

Hearing that, Yang Ziqi couldn't help but smile and replied: "Okay, good, the emperor and Xue'er care about me very much." Don't just talk, let's have some tea. ”

After that, Yang Ziqi picked up the teapot and poured hot tea for them with his own hands.

She had just put down the teapot, but she didn't notice that her sleeve was pressed under a teacup, and as soon as she raised her hand, the teacup flipped over, spilled onto the table, and then to the floor.

It was normal for the tea to be spilled, but suddenly, the three of them noticed a strange phenomenon, the tea that flowed to the ground was nothing different, and the tea that was spilled on the table suddenly appeared with fine white foam, and when they got closer, they made a slight squeaking sound.

"What's going on?" Yang Ziqi and Chen Yanxue asked curiously.

"There's something wrong with this tea." Hearing Dugu Yi say this, both of them had surprised looks on their faces.

The vigilant Duguyi immediately noticed that it was abnormal, so he asked the two of them not to drink the tea in the cup.

Then, Dugu Yi picked up the teapot just now, poured part of the tea on the ground, and saw that there was no change, so he poured another part on the table, and the tea bubbled white as just now.

They were puzzled, and suddenly saw Duguyi walk to the side, pour some tea on a wooden table, and pour some on the wooden base where the vase was placed, all of which had the same reaction as just now.

"This ......" Chen Yanxue was already speechless.

Yang Ziqi seemed to understand something, and then asked: "Your Majesty, could it be this tea ......?"

"This tea has been poisoned." Dugu Yi replied.

"Poisoned!" Chen Yanxue was so frightened that her face changed instantly: "Fortunately, we didn't drink that tea just now, thanks to Sister Xuezhu who knocked it over." Someone actually poisoned this tea. ”

When Yang Ziqi heard this, he couldn't help but be silent for a while, and after a while, he asked Dugu Yi and said, "Your Majesty, how did you see that this tea was poisoned?" ”

"That's it." Duguyi showed them the same reaction of this pot of tea poured on various wooden products, and then he came over with the teapot, put it back on the table, and explained to them:

"This is a strange poison from the Western Regions, according to the unequal amount of use, it can cause a slight poison in people, coma, and vomiting; In severe cases, internal organ bleeding is enough to cause death. ”

Hearing Dugu Yi's words, Chen Yanxue was immediately so frightened that she covered her mouth and nose, and her face was surprised.

"Then how did the emperor determine that this tea was poisoned?" Yang Ziqi, who has always been calm and calm, asked curiously.

"One of the characteristics of this poison is that it will corrode when it encounters wood products, so I just sprinkled them on various wood products, and those situations will occur."

Speaking of this, Dugu Yi couldn't help but be silent for a while, and continued: "I heard Aunt Chunhe say that when my father was alive in the past, some concubines would use this poison to poison others. ”

"That'...... So someone poisoned this tea today, could it be that it was to poison the younger sister? Chen Yanxue said immediately after hearing this.

Yang Ziqi was not so surprised, she seemed to have expected such a situation a long time ago, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "I didn't think that my birthday was just over yesterday, and someone will start today." It's a good thing we didn't drink that tea just now, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable......"

"Then who would want to harm my sister?" Chen Yanxue asked again: "Your Majesty, Sister Ziqi, do you want to find all the palace maids of Fengluan Palace to ask now?" ”

"You don't have to act rashly." Dugu Yi then said again: "Someone poisoned her just after yesterday, presumably her target is the child in the womb of the child." If she knew that she couldn't do it, she would definitely look for another opportunity to do it. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ziqi couldn't help but cover his abdomen, and said in his heart: "Is this child really not able to live well?" ”

"So what now, what are we going to do if that person comes to poison him again?" Chen Yanxue has always been very anxious, for fear that Yang Ziqi will be poisoned again.

"Cher, you don't have to worry." Chen Yanxue was so anxious, Dugu Yi immediately comforted them again:

"There is poison in this tea today, we are not sure where this poison came from, Ziqi, can you call your palace maid over first and ask?"

"Your Majesty, do you mean Ah Xiu? No, she won't do this......" Yang Ziqi didn't understand what Duguyi meant, but he didn't believe that it would be Ah Xiu's doing.

"Ziji, you just need to call her first."

After that, Yang Ziqi called Ah Xiu, who was guarding outside, in, she was very worried, but she didn't believe that this would be Ah Xiu's doing.

When Ah Xiu came in, Dugu Yi immediately asked her: "Ah Xiu, the widow asked you about the pot of tea that came in just now." But you soaked it? ”

"Back to the emperor, it was a slave and maid." Hearing Dugu Yi ask like this, Ah Xiu's face was full of strangeness, and he couldn't help but glance at Yang Ziqi, but he also answered truthfully.

"The widow asked you again, since you made this tea, from beginning to end, has it ever been in the hands of others?"

Ah Xiu listened, and still replied truthfully: "Back to the emperor, this tea was made by the slave maid herself, and from the tea made by the maid to the time she brought it to this house, it has never been in the hands of others." ”

"Alright, you can step aside." After listening to the order, Ah Xiu was about to retreat, but was suddenly stopped by Dugu Yi: "Ah Xiu, you go and get some tea leaves and water for making tea today, quietly, don't tell anyone about this." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." After that, Ah Xiu retreated first.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"

"Ziji, Cher, you don't have to worry." With his innate composure and calmness, Dugu Yi only comforted the two of them first:

"That's all you can use to make this pot of tea. Ah Xiu also said that the whole process of making tea was completed by her alone, the time was extremely short, and it was impossible for others to poison it, as for where the poison came from, wait for Ah Xiu to take the tea and water and come over. ”

After Dugu Yi finished explaining, after a while, Ah Xiu quietly brought tea and water according to his instructions.

Dugu Yi didn't care about the tea leaves first, and directly poured the water on the wooden utensils just now, and as he expected, there was the same reaction as just now.

Undoubtedly, the poison in this tea comes from the water in which the tea is made.
