Rong Ya also apologized to Lu Yingquan for her arbitrariness, she felt that she should not be a villain and live in the belly of a gentleman, let alone suspect others casually, and let the people in the dark take advantage of the loopholes.

"Sister Yingquan, I'm sorry, I was impulsive this time, I shouldn't have doubted you casually. Rong Ya apologized to Lu Yingquan with a guilty face, but Lu Yingquan was very frightened.

"The queen is serious. Lu Yingquan hurriedly bowed down and said, no matter how much she can't make the queen apologize to her female official.

"But I don't understand, when Sister Ming Yingquan tasted that ginseng soup, there was no problem, why was it poisonous when poured into the bowl?" Rong Ya asked, "Could it be that the poison is in the bowl?"

"No, it's too obvious in the bowl and it's easy to see. Yun Yao shook her head and said, then turned her head and asked Lu Yingquan, "Yingquan, do you remember how Bishui wanted to poison me with arsenic when we were in the Yeting Palace?"

She was ...... Is it to wipe the poison in the spout of the pot, could it be that the poison this time is also like this? That's why it is so hidden and not easy to be discovered!" Lu Yingquan said, then got up and walked towards the medicine pot.

She plucked the silver hairpin from her head and shook it in the ginseng soup, and when she took it out again, the tip of the silver hairpin had turned black. She took a closer look at the spout of the medicine pot, and found that there was still some crystal blue powder left in it, but it was already about to melt, and if she didn't look closely, she couldn't see it at all.

"That's really the case!" Lu Yingquan looked at the blackened silver hairpin and said, "It's still the same old way, it's ridiculous that I didn't even notice it." But fortunately, this time it was a blessing in disguise, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to hate myself......"

"But who gave this poison?" I just heard you say that the seven-day entanglement poison and the antidote are relative, and the poison is also the antidote, what the hell is going on?" Rong Ya still didn't understand very much, and said, "When I find out who is behind the scenes, I will definitely not spare her!"

"No, this should not be rushed. Yun Yao hurriedly said, "This kind of poison is very rare, and there are several poisonous insects and poisonous weeds in it, which will only appear outside the plug, and it is impossible to have them in the Central Plains region." Even in the palace, it was put here because it was obtained a long time ago, so that it could be used for backup. General Gu's poison was done by the Beidi people, and it is not strange that they have this strange poison in their hands, but it is strange...... How could this poison appear in the palace?"

"Could it be...... Is there a fine work of Beidi in the palace?" Lu Yingquan asked, "But if this is the case, this fine work is too rampant!"

"It's not like it's fine. Yun Yao shook her head, looked at Shen Ze, and spoke again, "Your Majesty, the slave maid requests to read the report handed back by General Gu and Master Sun from the south. ”

"That's no problem, I asked Luo Song to bring it. Shen Ze said, and then ordered Luo Song to do something.

"Yun Yao, you have just woken up, and your body is still weak, why don't you go back to Huan Hall to cultivate for a while and then think about these things?" Lu Yingquan persuaded, "I will also investigate the real murderer behind the scenes, and I will not let her go!"

"No...... While the news of my awakening is not yet known, I must first clarify these things. If you leave Changming Palace this time, how many excuses do you have to find to come over?" Yun Yao said, "This time, you have already been punished by the Queen Mother's cane, and we must avoid this limelight." ”

"Yun Yao is right, it is about General Gu's life and Beidi's wolf ambitions, and it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible. Shen Ze said, "Actually, I can imagine that the results of the investigation are nothing more than two situations, one is that, as Yingquan said, there are Beidi's fine works in the palace, and the second is ...... There is a connection between someone in the palace and Beidi. ”

"Your Majesty, I've brought the newspapers. At this moment, Luo Song walked in and presented the books.

Lu Yingquan took it and put it in front of Yun Yao, while Shen Ze ordered Luo Song to go to the outer hall to guard, and no one could enter.

Yun Yao looked at the three newspapers in front of her, two of which were written by Gu Qingming, one was on a rainy night, the other was when she first arrived at the Jiandong County Ya, and one was written by Master Sun after General Gu's accident.

These three letters mention that the Black-clad Assassin came three times, once with an arrow, twice with a knife, and the third time with a knife and an arrow at the same time. And according to Gu Qingming's judgment, the three assassinations were by the same group of people, a total of ten people, except for the leader who fought against Gu Qingming and was severely injured by Gu Qingming, there are still nine.

In the last battle, except for the leader and the person trapped in prison by Gu Qingming, the remaining eight people worked together, two of them hid in the dark and released cold arrows, and the six of them were divided into two groups, one group went to the prison to save people, and the other group entangled with Gu Qingming and Gu Yan.

After carefully reading all the contents, Yun Yao spoke: "Sure enough." Seemingly...... The hand of the Beidi people is inevitably stretched too long. ”

"But what did you find?" asked Shen Ze.

"What the emperor said is really good, there is no Beidi's fine work in the palace, but ...... There are people in my Daning who are in collusion with Beidi. Yun Yao said, "And this person's official position is not low, even ...... The status is quite noble. ”

"It's Zhou Meiren's father, Taichang Lord Zhou Bo!" Lu Yingquan is also smart, and after Yun Yao's reminder, he quickly understood who Yun Yao was referring to.

"Not bad. Yun Yao nodded, "This time to kill Yang Hao, replace it with Sun Hui, and the method of breaking the Queen Mother's wings was I came up with, according to the information provided by the emperor and General Gu, it was found that Lord Taichang did have contact with unknown people, and the secret guard heard with his own ears that Lord Zhou was going to send a killer to intercept and kill Yang Yushi." But in the whole process of southward water control, the only assassins who appeared were this wave of Beidi people, and nothing else. ”

"The target of this wave of Beidi people, the first two times were Yang Yushi, but the third time was General Gu. This shows that their original purpose was to kill General Gu, and to kill Yang Yushi, just to complete the agreement with Lord Zhou. Lu Yingquan followed Yun Yao's words and said, "Lord Zhou asked the Beidi people to help kill Yang Yushi, and the Beidi people used Lord Zhou to understand General Gu's whereabouts and assassinate General Gu. All of this makes sense. ”

Yes, there is another piece of information that supports this view. Yun Yao spoke again, "That's Lord Sun." Lord Sun is also an official in Beijing, and he was also ordered to go south to control the water, and his position in the DPRK is also quite important, but the Beidi people assassinated him three times, but Sun Daren was unharmed, and there was not even a dangerous situation, which shows that the Beidi people did not want to kill Sun Daren at all, because it was useless to kill him, and their goal was the general. ”

"Besides, the Queen Mother came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and Zhou Meiren was also accompanied by her. Zhou Meiren had something to say, and it seemed that she deliberately pushed the charges on me and Yun Yao, saying that we don't distinguish between dignity and inferiority, and we don't know the severity. Lu Yingquan also said, "And Zhou Meiren is Zhou Taichang's only daughter, if Zhou Taichang really has a connection with the Beidi people, then it is not surprising that Zhou Meiren has seven days of poison in her hands." ”

Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, you said a word, and directly sorted out the clues of the whole process clearly. Although everything is still just speculation at present, this speculation is reasonable, and only one decisive evidence is needed to determine whether Zhou Taichang had dealings with the Beidi people.

Rong Ya listened to the analysis of these two people on the side, and only felt that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan were really smart, and they could even find clues from such a complicated matter. Especially Yun Yao, she had just woken up after being in a coma for two days, and her body was still weak, but she was calm and unhurried in her words, but she had a kind of grace and bearing.

And although Lu Yingquan is slightly inferior, under Yun Yao's order, she can immediately figure out the key to it, and her methodical analysis is really commendable.

"I really didn't expect that there was such a big conspiracy hidden behind a southward trip. Shen Ze said, "It seems that I have to find a way to find out this Zhou Taichang and see what he wants to do!"

"Your Majesty, we don't have evidence in our hands yet, so it's not appropriate to startle the snake. Yun Yao said, "Besides, the general hasn't woken up yet, I'm afraid that if it is really Zhou Taichang's doing, he will be forced by the pressure of the Beidi people, and it will be detrimental to the general." ”

"That makes sense. Shen Ze nodded slightly, frowning.

"Then Sister Yun Yao, what should I do now?" Rong Ya asked, "Could it be that this poisoned person is just left to it?"

"Of course it can't be counted. Zhou Taichang can't move for the time being, so he can start with Zhou Meiren first. Yun Yao's eyes flashed, and then she raised her head and asked Lu Yingquan, "The clue is this pot of ginseng soup." Who boiled it, who sent it, and whether there was anyone in the middle can be investigated. ”

"That's right, there are many people in the palace, and if you can't keep it, someone will see something. Lu Yingquan nodded, said, then turned to Shen Ze and saluted, and spoke again, "Your Majesty, I ask the emperor for permission to investigate this matter, and I will definitely find out who is behind this scene." ”

"No...... Yingquan, this matter can't be blatantly investigated, and the other party can't be given a chance to destroy the corpse!" Yun Yao said, "When I woke up just now, I seemed to hear that the queen mother suspected that Yingquan had poisoned me, didn't she?"

"That's the case, I was frightened at the time, I really thought ......" Rong Ya still felt a little guilty when she mentioned this.

"Then trouble the queen to be a wicked person again. Yun Yao said, "If the other party lowers his vigilance, we can have a chance to win by surprise." ”

Rong Ya seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but Lu Yingquan already understood what Yun Yao meant.

"Your Majesty, you still need your cooperation in this matter. Lu Yingquan turned his head to look at Shen Ze and said, "Now Yun Yao and I can only hide our eyes and ears like wastes, so we can only bother the emperor to plan secretly and take care of it." ”

"It's nature. Shen Ze nodded, his gaze crossed the faces of Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, and a sense of relief suddenly surged in his heart.

Maybe he shouldn't exaggerate the role of these two women, maybe he shouldn't put the hope of Kuang Fu Shen's country on someone else's body, but he faintly has a feeling that in the near future, he will be able to realize Daning's wish to unify Haiqing Heyan, unload the burden of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and live the life he wants to live.
