Search has always been a common trick in the palace, because in the process of searching, the number of participants is large and the search scope is wide, so it can take the opportunity to do a lot of tricks. Many times, even those who are not guilty can be framed, wronged, and fall victim to this conspiracy.

And Yun Yao knew that since she and Lu Yingquan had been in the Yi Palace for so long, big and small things had happened, and the Queen Mother had never ordered a search of Linglong Pavilion. But this time, since Empress Dowager Jiang gave the order, she must be completely sure.

Shen Che listened to the Queen Mother's words, and glanced at Lu Yingquan again, as if he couldn't resist the Queen Mother's insistence, so he nodded and said, "Since the Queen Mother already has an idea, it's not good for the sons and daughters to say anything." It's just that the queen mother, if you can't find anything from the Linglong Pavilion this time, please don't embarrass the queen mother. ”

"Okay, the mourning family promises you. The Queen Mother nodded, then turned to Wushuang and said, "You personally take people to search, and you must be meticulous." ”

"The slave obeys. Wushuang took the order and left, and then led people to search the Linglong Pavilion.

A thin layer of fine sweat had seeped out of Lu Yingquan's palms, and she might have felt a little panicked, which was different from every time something happened before, and she even felt that her good luck was likely to come to an end.

Suddenly, Lu Yingquan only felt dizzy, and stumbled a few steps, but was supported by Yun Yao.

Yun Yao gently held Lu Yingquan's palm, signaling her not to worry, even if Shen Yan's death was unexpected by them, even if it was likely to really capsize in the gutter this time, as long as their lives were still there, then they would still have a chance to turn over.

Lu Yingquan seemed to feel the power coming from the palm of Yun Yao's hand, and his heart was a little more stable, quietly waiting for the results of Aunt Wushuang's search.

Jiang Yi was still kneeling on the ground and crying, but the sobbing voice was a little quieter, but in the silent hall, it still seemed so abrupt.

Shen Che involuntarily walked towards Shen Yan, this child who had just completed the moon, his clean and crisp voice was like an angel who had fallen into the mortal world by mistake, so beautiful and pure, so that Shen Che saw a glimmer of hope for life in this deceitful court.

But this child who once touched him has now become a cold corpse.

I don't know how long it took, but when Lu Yingquan felt that she was about to suffocate, Aunt Wushuang walked in from outside, and she was followed by two mothers-in-law, one of whom was holding a bird cage in his hand.

The woman stretched out her arms straight and kept the cage away from her, for fear that the dangerous thing would contaminate her.

In the cage, there happened to be a black bird, which looked very strange, not much different from the description of the imperial doctor, and almost everyone could be sure that it was the bird in the mouth of the imperial doctor when they saw the bird at a glance.

"Empress Dowager Qi, this bird cage was found in Yun Yao's room. Aunt Wushuang said.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sneered, and then asked the Imperial Doctor: "Imperial Doctor Fu, come and see, is this bird the kind of bird you said?"

Imperial Physician Fu listened to the Queen Mother's words, walked to the birdcage, and looked carefully. After looking the pitch-black bird up and down, he replied, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, this bird is indeed a bird." ”

"Che'er, now that the human and physical evidence is available, you should have nothing to say, right?" The Queen Mother helped Jiang Yi up from the ground, gently wiped her tears for her, and then said to Shen Che with cold eyes, as if all this was under her control.

Shen Che didn't say anything more, he glanced at the bird in the cage, and then slowly walked towards Lu Yingquan, his face was condensed, but with every step, his steps seemed so heavy.

Lu Yingquan looked at Shen Che and seemed a little at a loss, because she had never seen such a look in Shen Che's gaze, full of doubt and disappointment, as if she was sure that she had done all this.

Once upon a time, Shen Che swore to the Queen Mother that she was not that kind of person and would not do such a vicious thing. At that time, he believed in her, and stood by her side steadfastly, blocking all the open and hidden arrows for her.

But now, like everyone else, he wandered around her body with suspicious eyes, like a knife, smashing her.

"Your Royal Highness......" Lu Yingquan opened her mouth, she wanted to say something, she wanted to defend herself again, but when she faced Shen Che's gaze, she found that she couldn't say a word.

After a long time, Shen Che's voice sounded in the hall, and he said with a distant sigh:

"In front of this king, you have always been knowledgeable and understanding, and this king never thought that you would do such a thing. Mrs. Han, and Yan'er, two lives, this king also hopes that it has nothing to do with you, but all kinds of signs show that all this has an inseparable relationship with you. ”

Shen Che's words were like an ice blade, directly poking into Lu Yingquan's heart, cold and bone-chilling, dripping with blood.

"Your Highness, it's really not me!" Lu Yingquan shook his head and said so, hoping that Shen Che would believe her without hesitation just because she said no.

But this time, she was wrong.

Shen Che was not the same as before, he opened his mouth and said: "Yingquan, today is Yan'er's full moon banquet, this banquet was prepared by you, and Yan'er died in this banquet again. Before Aunt Wushuang arrived at the Linglong Pavilion, all the people were in the palace, and the Linglong Pavilion was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for anyone to send this bird in. In other words, the bird was indeed found in the Linglong Pavilion. Even if it's not you, it's Yun Yao. ”

"How could it be Yun Yao, she didn't do anything!" Lu Yingquan listened to Shen Che's words and subconsciously retorted.

"Mrs. Lu, this bird was found in Yun Yao's room, there will be no mistake. Since you said that you didn't do it, it must be Yun Yao, otherwise you instructed Yun Yao to do it. Jiang Yi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes to calm herself, and then said, "Which possibility do you think?"

"Yun Yao's raising birds and poisoning the prince can't run away. Shen Che opened his mouth and said, "In the past, this king connived at you, so that you can live in peace until today. But now, it is the son of this king who died, and this king can no longer be tolerated, but this king is still willing to give you a chance when he is married to a husband and wife, as long as you say again that it is not you, then this king will only ask about the sin Yunyao. ”

Lu Yingquan didn't expect things to go in this direction, and she couldn't even figure out why it had become like this.

On the one hand, there is the opportunity given by Shen Che, she finally climbed to today's position, if she loses her position, I don't know how much work it will take to climb up from the bottom again. But on the other hand, it is Yun Yao's companionship and protection in the past few years, they have walked from Ning Palace hand in hand, how many lives and deaths have passed, how can she abandon Yun Yao for her own selfish interests?

"Your Highness, the death of the little prince has nothing to do with the concubines, nor does it have anything to do with Yun Yao. Lu Yingquan said, his eyes were full of firmness, "If His Royal Highness insists that Yun Yao is guilty and wants to punish her, the concubine is willing to share the same crime with Yun Yao, and ask His Highness to fulfill it." ”

"Okay!" Before Shen Che could speak, Empress Dowager Jiang had already taken the lead in opening her mouth, "Since you have said so, then the mourning family will fulfill you! Since you entered the Yi Palace, the palace has been full of miasma, chickens and dogs jumping, and there are constant fights, if you are too lenient to you, the mourning family is only afraid that you will be sorry for those unjust souls who died in vain! You are suspected of instructing your personal maid to kill Mrs. Han and the little prince, and you have two lives, and the Mourning family will give you a death now!"

Empress Dowager Jiang's words of reversing black and white made Lu Yingquan speechless. And Shen Che didn't help Lu Yingquan speak, and seemed to have a cold heart for Lu Yingquan.

The expressions of everyone in the hall were very sad, whether they were real or pretended, at least they made a look. But only Jiang Yi, she stood quietly beside the Queen Mother, with her head down, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch of arc, like mockery, like pride.

"Concubine, thank you Queen Mother. Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao kowtowed to Empress Dowager Jiang, and then waited quietly for death.

"Come on, pull Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao down, give a glass of poisonous wine, and leave a whole corpse. Empress Dowager Jiang commanded, the expression on her face was very indifferent, as if she had expected such a day.

She didn't care how Yun Yao helped Shen Ze make suggestions and benefit Yiguo, nor did she care that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan endured humiliation and restraining the eyes of the Empress Dowager Qin, just to help Yiguo win opportunities and win time.

What Empress Dowager Jiang cares about may only be her own power.

Now, Gu Qingming's soldiers trained in the barren mountains, after more than a year of training, have achieved a small success, and the fine work of Yiwang Palace has also been eradicated, and she no longer needs Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao.

And Lu Yingquan has already walked to the position of the lady, and then there is the queen, and the Empress Dowager Jiang will never allow the position of the queen to fall on anyone other than Jiang Yi.

Therefore, it is time to get rid of Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao, and Shen Yan's death is the best opportunity.

Several mothers-in-law walked in from outside, holding trays of poisoned wine in their hands, looking fierce and vicious. Only Aunt Wushuang, whose eyes were full of compassion, seemed to be a little unbearable.

As Empress Dowager Jiang's confidant, she obviously knows the truth.

Seeing that the two mothers-in-law grabbed Lu Yingquan and poured a glass of poisonous wine into her mouth, they heard Yun Yao, who had not spoken, finally spoke:

"Wait!"

The simple two words seemed to be full of momentum, obviously from the mouth of a palace maid, but the two mothers-in-law involuntarily stopped the movements in their hands, and the poisonous wine in the cup also spilled out.

"What else do you have to say?" asked Empress Dowager Jiang.

"The Empress Dowager must cure the sins of the slave maid, the slave and maid have nothing to say, but what is in Mrs. Lu's belly is the Empress Dowager's own grandson, doesn't the Empress Dowager not care about it at all?" Yun Yao raised her head, staring at the Empress Dowager Jiang with her eyes, and asked.

These words were like a thunderclap on the ground, which exploded in the hall, making everyone look up in astonishment, and invariably looked at Lu Yingquan's stomach, including Shen Che.

And Empress Dowager Jiang was already speechless, her face changed several times, and she still didn't say anything in the end. And Jiang Yi, the expression in his eyes also changed from the smugness at the beginning to boundless anger and jealousy.
