In the morning.

All the guests who congratulated the monarch on his birthday gathered one after another, and there were hundreds of thousands of people in the Jinluan Palace.

"Canglan Guojun's two hundred and fifty-first birthday, the birthday ceremony begins!"

An old eunuch snorted.

Not long after, Zhou, who was dressed in graceful queen clothes, and the incomparably beautiful Princess Ling Jiaojiao appeared together on the Jinluan Hall to preside over the monarch's birthday celebration.

But the monarch himself did not appear with them.

"Strange, why didn't the monarch come?"

"Hmph, this doesn't need to be said, I'm afraid that I'm still unconscious! Zhou's mother and daughter are just holding chicken feathers as arrows, and they want to take advantage of the last month when the monarch has not yet died, and take advantage of the strong princes to eradicate all the powerful princes, so that they can choose the weak little princes, and the mother and daughter will control the government of the Canglan country together!"

"I heard that their mother and daughter also used a new inmate from the Guozijian to support them and give them ideas. It's really a rush to the doctor, and even newcomers who have no experience in government and politics dare to use it. ”

"Think beautifully! Once the monarch dies, they will definitely be the first to suffer. ”

This suddenly made many courtiers puzzled, and there were many discussions, and there was no shortage of cynicists.

Will the monarch faint or wake up, and will he appear at today's birthday banquet? This is undoubtedly the most important thing for all the courtiers.

At the suggestion of a certain prince, a member of the royal family stood up and asked loudly: "Today is the birthday of the monarch, why don't you show up? Queen Zhou will not be behind the king's back, make the decision privately, and hold this birthday feast!"

"Since ancient times, troubles in the harem have occurred from time to time! The monarch should not have handed over the power of supervising the country to the queen, and it is only right that several princes should be allowed to supervise the country! Several princes are in the prime of life, and it is the time to share the worries of the monarch. ”

"What does the queen think? It is better to give up the power of the prison country and hand it over to the princes to preside over the government!"

"The young and the old are orderly, and it is only right that the second prince will supervise the country!"

"Nonsense, the three princes are virtuous, and he is just as suitable as he is to supervise the country. ”

The royal family members also shouted one after another, treating the queen as nothing, but fighting for the right to supervise the country in front of all the courtiers.

There are hundreds of royal relatives, but only the three princes who are really powerful are two, three, five, and three. Most of the other royal clansmen take these three princes as their heads.

Queen Zhou was ignored by the royal family, her face was a little flustered, and she didn't know how to respond.

Ling Jiaojiao's face was tense, she gritted her teeth, and shouted at all the royal family members: "Father and queen ordered the queen mother to supervise the country, you can't rebel! Father will come out soon, do you dare to fight for power in front of him!"

Ling Jiaojiao's words came out.

"This."

The royal clansmen suddenly looked flustered.

The monarch Ling Rui treats the royal family very harshly on weekdays, and the aftermath of hundreds of years makes all the royal relatives very afraid, even if the monarch is seriously ill, as long as he does not die for a day, they can only shout a few times, and dare not really jump out to make trouble.

The Jinluan Hall was suddenly solemn, and the noise of the royal family was suppressed by Ling Jiaojiao.

Queen Zhou finally calmed down, sat on the queen's throne, and said calmly: "Today's birthday, this palace is at the behest of His Majesty, and here is investigating the case of someone poisoning and murdering the monarch on the day of his birthday a year ago. After investigating the case, the birthday banquet will be held. ”

As she spoke, she looked towards the crowd: "Where is Ye Fan, the court lieutenant and young secretary, and half a month ago, this palace ordered you to investigate the case of the monarch being poisoned, what is the result?"

"Wechen is here!"

Ye Fan got up calmly and bowed his hand and said, "There are already results! Someone has poisoned the monarch, and there are all kinds of confessions! Just wait for the queen's order, Weichen will immediately arrest the culprit!"

"What?"

In the main hall, all the royal family relatives and ministers of the court suddenly showed shocked expressions, and even looked dazed.

They had already received the news that the queen had appointed a new court lieutenant and a young secretary half a month ago to investigate the case of the king's poisoning.

Half a month ago, the queen went to the royal city to congratulate everyone on her birthday, which coincided with the appointment of Ye Fancha for the poisoning of the monarch.

But everyone didn't know that Ye Fan actually found out the results.

This sudden reply almost stunned all the royal relatives and courtiers.

The monarch has been plotted for a year, and there are no clues or evidence of poison.

Why did Ye Fan only check for half a month, and all the evidence, physical evidence, and confessions came out? !

This made the royal family and courtiers feel terrified and panicked, could it be that Ye Fan created false evidence and planned to frame some of them!?

Even the queen of the Zhou family and Ling Jiaojiao were stunned, they just followed Ye Fan's prior arrangement and cooperated with him to track down the clansmen and courtiers in the palace to see who was suspicious, what they were looking forward to was a clue that could be traced. I didn't expect to find out the truth in a few days.

But I didn't expect Queen Zhou to ask a word.

Ye Fan didn't ask a word about the relatives and courtiers in the palace, and actually replied that everything had been investigated, and even the evidence such as human and material evidence and confessions was already available, so he waited for the queen's order to agree to him arresting people.

They weren't ready for that.

The second prince and the martial princes around him were also stunned.

They know it.

The monarch was obviously taken by Su Yang. How did it become poisoned?

"Say, you've found something!"

Queen Zhou did not dare to directly order the arrest of people, and cautiously asked for evidence.

Even she knows that there must be real evidence, otherwise this case will definitely be opposed by the ministers and will not be investigated in the end.

"The queen, after careful investigation by Weichen, there is a kind of poisonous water called 'dark water' in the monarch! This poison is colorless and tasteless, light as water, and has no characteristics, and its only function is to continue to consume people's longevity, so that life will die. Even Wuhou can't resist this poison. It only takes a small amount, and after taking it, within a few months, it can quickly consume decades of life!"

Ye Fan said lightly, and took out a transparent vial from his sleeve, which contained a small transparent liquid. He then said to the royal family and courtiers in the palace: "This is the 'physical evidence' I have found in the palace, please take a look!"

"Joke,! This is really unheard of, I have never heard of such poisonous water in the blue country. It's clearly an ordinary water in your hand, and it's nonsense to say what kind of dark water!"

Suddenly, a member of the royal family said loudly.

"yes, I've never heard of this poison!"

"The imperial doctors spent as long as a year, and they didn't find any poison in the palace! This court lieutenant Shaoqing is just an ordinary martial marquis, and he is not proficient in pharmacology, nor is he proficient in the art of pills, and he can say a poison without any evidence! I think he should say it in one step. This poison is the office of a certain prince, who wants to poison the monarch, and someone has seen it with their own eyes. In this way, the physical witnesses are all together. ”

"Tingwei Shaoqing, this is preparing to frame a certain prince!"

The royal clansmen shouted one after another.

The ministers also expressed their dissatisfaction.

Ye Fan didn't argue, but said lightly: "The dark water is recorded in ancient books, and you can't use your ignorance to prove that there is no such thing in the world." You can check it. If you really doubt the toxicity of this water, please taste it and find out, and you will die after half a year, so don't blame me. ”

Queen Zhou muttered: "Relying on the words of Ye Fan, the court captain and young qing, of course, is not enough. The elders of the Imperial Doctor's Pavilion in Wangcheng read all the ancient books and checked the 'Dark Water'! First see if there is any poison in the 'Dark Water'. ”

"Don't bother to look for it everywhere, just look at the "One Hundred and Seventy-Eight Records of the Holy Relics of the Ghost Clan", "Xizhou Records of Experiences and Experiences", "Shao Luowu Sheng's Travels in Xizhou", etc., these ancient books have records about this thing. This water is the holy water of the ghost clan, and it rarely spreads out of Xizhou, and the clansmen have not heard of it, so it is a normal thing. ”

Ye Fan said.

The clansmen were dumbfounded.

The courtiers quickly fell silent.

They were already shocked to find that Ye Fan's knowledge was so profound that it was terrifying. About the ghost clan, about the martial saint, very few people have read the books, he actually remembered the details.

The elder of the Canglan Palace's library pavilion quickly found the few ancient books Ye Fan said, and reported: "Queen, these ancient books are all recorded. Among the ghost clans, there is indeed dark water, this water is colorless and tasteless, which can make people lose their longevity and grow old rapidly!"

"I didn't know it existed before. If it is really dark water, the symptoms of the monarch are completely consistent, which is clearly poisoned by poisonous water, and it will age sharply. ”

Several old imperial doctors were extremely ashamed.

"Is there really this poisonous water?"

"So, the physical evidence in Ye Fan's hand is real?!"

In the Jinluan Palace, there was an uproar.

Although they still suspected Ye Fan's motives, Ye Fan was confirming the evidence step by step.

The second prince and the martial arts advisors around him secretly felt bad.

The queen and Ye Fan asked and answered. Although they haven't been involved yet, this is clearly a game that has already been laid out, ready to drive them into the killing game step by step!

Soon, Ye Fan and the queen will point the finger at them.

"Even if there is such poisonous water in the world, what does this prove?"

The second prince, Ling Feihui, said angrily.

Ye Fan said lightly: "Of course you can prove it." There is a palace maid who saw that when you entered the palace last year to congratulate the monarch on his birthday, he bribed a palace maid and asked this palace maid to secretly poison the monarch!

Afterwards, the palace maid felt shameless to face the monarch and committed suicide, but she left a confession, saying that it was instructed by Su Yang. The physical witness testimony is enough to prove that it was you who murdered the monarch on last year's birthday!"

The second prince was about to go crazy.

He has never been the only one who calculates others, and he has never seen such a large lobby and dare to plant a lot of blame on him.

If he really has this holy water of the ghost clan, I'm afraid he won't be able to use it. How could it be possible to use one, there is still one left, and it was taken by Ye Fan as physical evidence.

"Ye Fan, you are clearly planting a false accusation. I am just a martial artist, how can there be a ghost clan holy water!"

Su Yang said hatefully.

Ye Fan smiled lightly: "I don't know how your prince got it, I have to ask your prince to know." Why don't you taste it and see if it's really ghost clan holy water? If you dare to drink it, it means that you are not weak-hearted. If you don't dare, it means that you are very weak and know how powerful this thing is. ”

Su Yang was blocked by Ye Fan's words, his eyes narrowed, but he didn't dare to agree. This may not be the holy water of the ghost clan, but who knows what the water in Ye Fan's small bottle is. If you are not careful, you will be calculated by Ye Fan.

The second prince couldn't help but be furious, and slapped the table and got up, "You are spewing blood, planting a false accusation on this prince! What is it necessary for Su Yang to do this to buy the palace maid's poison, this is clearly your slander." ”

"Lord Wang, this Ye Fan is clearly going to kill you!"

"The queen wants to borrow Ye Fan's hand and force the second master to death!"

The martial princes next to the second prince also stood up one by one with great anger.

Su Yang was even more bizarre and angry: "Second master, I said earlier, Ye Fan is more ruthless than me, he only seeks the end, unscrupulous means, and has a lot of tricks! He must be killed in this house today, and the aftermath will be removed forever."
