I only saw that the queen mother's body was obviously stiff, and her face was indescribably panicked, but in an instant, the flash of uneasiness disappeared, she stabilized her mind and spoke.

"Girl, what are you kidding? Who is the eldest princess, and how can she fall for the poison of that ordinary man? ”

"Oh, if it weren't for the poison of that ordinary man, what would it be, but someone would be plotting against it?" Xia Qingyi followed her words step by step.

"Heh, there are very few people in this world who can do such a dirty thing behind the back of a poisonous Gu heir." The queen lowered her head and lowered her eyes to look at Xia Qingyi at all.

"Less doesn't mean no, has the queen ever heard of rouge drunk?" Xiao Nizi said the name word by word, but her eyes did not let go of a trace of expression on the queen's face.

"No, not really." Trembling lips, the person who had been in charge of the harem for many years in the past had fine beads left on his face at this time.

With such a wonderful reflection, Xia Qingyi was almost certain of the murderer, but she still sighed lightly.

"The queen mother doesn't know, this rouge drunk is the poison of the secret art of the Western Xinjiang, it is rumored that if the poison is successful, if the person dies, the poisoned person will leave a blood-colored lotus flower on his body, and the person who blooms more than three blood-colored lotuses will also live his life, so vicious and vicious, someone actually fell on the eldest princess."

"What viciousness, what do you hate?" I don't know when, the emperor also arrived in the inner hall, and asked curiously about the little content he heard.

"See the emperor!"

"Concubine, see the emperor!"

Seeing this, the two knelt down and saluted together, one thinking about how to get out of the current predicament, and the other wanted to firmly seize the opportunity to let the emperor rehabilitate the eldest princess.

"Your Majesty, the little woman is explaining to the queen that the eldest princess had the poison during her lifetime, and the queen mother is in charge of the three palaces and six courtyards, and she will be able to know where this poison comes from!" Xia Qingyi was neither arrogant nor humble and pointed the finger at the head of the harem

"The lonely imperial sister died of poisoning, what poison, say it quickly!" How can the emperor wait to investigate and persecute him, there are few left in this world, and the royal family has bloodline, and the murderer is at large.

"Has the emperor ever heard of the secret poison of Western Xinjiang - rouge drunk?" Xia Qingyi looked back at the emperor, but her eyes were fixed on the pale face of the queen.

"The emperor is gracious, although the concubines are noble for a country, how can they know the poison of the Western Frontier, it is better to summon the good concubine Niangniang to come here and ask, for the secret art Gu poison of the Western Frontier, it should be much clearer than everyone else in this palace."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, but still sent someone to the palace of the concubine to invite someone. The queen mother is always bent down and low. Thousands of thoughts are surging in her heart: she regrets it, she really regrets it, she is really too hasty to make a move, she has endured it for so many years, is it not that she wants to be planted in the hands of this "rouge drunk" today.

For a long time, it was not Concubine Liang who came back with the eunuch, but the daughter of Concubine Liang, Princess Chu Leyao.

The emperor's frowning brows tightened even tighter, and he tried his best to suppress the impatience in his heart, and said.

"What about your mother, why did you come alone?"

"Father, the mother has been sick for a few days and can't get up, the imperial doctor said that she was extremely worried, so the son came to ask for the sin of the mother concubine and couldn't face the sin." Saying with tears in his eyes, he bent his legs and bowed to a standard.

"Sick for a few days? I didn't know, and the queen didn't mention it. As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the queen again, showing displeasure.

"It's a concubine's dereliction of duty. The emperor has not been informed of his sister's recent situation, but the concubine has already given a thousand years of snow support, and tomorrow the concubine will definitely go to the palace to visit the concubine's sister. ”

Xia Qingyi saw that the topic was a little farther, and said directly to Chu Leyao. "Princess Le Yao has ever heard of a poisonous rouge drunk in Western Xinjiang?"

Chu Leyao had a confused expression on his face, and he tried to search for memories of this name in his memory, and for a long time, he suddenly screamed as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Oh, this palace remembers, this rouge drunk is a forbidden technique in the western Xinjiang, due to excessive poison, it has been explicitly banned from using it as early as the previous dynasty, what's the matter, is this rouge drunk now being used to harm people's lives?" The third princess's eyes flashed with disbelief and surprise.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, do you know what will happen to this poisoned person, and how can you tell the difference?" Xia Qingyi didn't answer Chu Leyao's question, but directly threw out the second question.

This time, the third princess was silent for a moment before answering with some hesitation.

"This, the palace does not understand the whole situation, but when I was young, I hid in the dark place of the garden rockery, I heard that the elder and the saint at that time confessed, saying that this poison is colorless and tasteless, mixed with rouge gouache, painted can make people more beautiful and moving, but in the long run, the posture is more and more gorgeous, the poisoning is getting deeper and deeper, extremely prosperous and declining, and people will eventually die because of this, and the body will not rot for a few months after death, and it can still maintain the beauty in front of the body, but then it will turn into corpse water, and the body will be destroyed."

The words made everyone in the hall hold their breath, but Xia Qingyi continued to ask.

"Then why is it listed as anti-drug again?"

Chu Leyao glanced at Xia Qingyi deeply before replying,

"It is said that the refining process of this poison is very vicious, and it needs to take the face of a living woman, which is too harmful to yin morality. And if the poisoner is successfully poisoned, the blood lotus seal will be branded on the body, and this seal can kill people after three times, so the poison that hurts others and hurts oneself is listed as anti-drug and is not allowed to be used at all! ”

"Your Majesty, please order a thorough investigation of whether everyone in the palace has blood lotus printed on their bodies, and find out who poisoned and murdered the eldest princess!" Xia Qingyi suddenly knelt on her knees and kowtowed heavily for instructions.
