As expected, a prince and two princesses died in the palace that night.

Such a drastic change made her shocked when it reached the queen.

"How can there be so many royal heirs? What is the reason?"

The queen was not only distraught, but also frightened.

What if the emperor deducts a high hat for her, saying that she "has no way to govern the harem", what should she do if she is embarrassed?

Seeing this, the grandmother beside her squinted her eyes to comfort her, "Although the emperor looks a little worse to Niangniang after having Hua Concubine, but in the final analysis, he still pities the power of Niangniang's mother's family, if he just doesn't care about you, then it can't be justified."

These words did have a slight reassuring effect on the queen, but she still felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't figure it out, "How can a good person die? Besides, although the dead thirteenth princess didn't interact with the palace often on weekdays, after all, she was still raised by the palace, and when she suddenly heard this bad news, she couldn't help but panic."

She clutched her mouth for fear of nightmares.

Intuition also told the queen that this matter was not simple, but their bodies were missing, and they couldn't even find the reason for the investigation.

"No, this palace will try her best to drag Shen Ling into the water, if this palace is not happy, she doesn't want to be forgiven."

The queen's heart was broken, thinking that maybe this matter was done by Shen Ling, she didn't do it, it was entirely possible to be jealous of every concubine, since this is the case, then she should be investigated carefully.

The corners of her mouth hooked into a smile, and an extraordinary light flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly, "You go and send someone to steal some of Shen Ling's pills in Jingyang Palace, and test what ingredients are inside, to see if she will poison those dead princes."

She whispered, feeling that she was right.

Shen Ling is good at poisoning, and if those princes hadn't been poisoned, they wouldn't have died for no reason, unless they encountered a killer, but the protection in the palace has always been better than other places, how could someone take advantage of people's danger?

After the queen sent someone over, sure enough, there was an answer within three days.

The eunuch sent out was shocked and handed a golden pill to the queen, and muttered in his mouth, "Niangniang, I found out, this is poisonous, if people take it, they will die in less than half an hour."

Seeing this, the queen got up from her chair with great joy, sneered, and said, "Is this true?"

Then it seems that she really did the poisoning of several princes.

The queen was happy for Shen Ling's cleverness, and then felt that she was really bold, and dared to rely on the emperor's favor to actually mix poison in the elixir, if the emperor knew that the person he had been pampering was such a femme fatale, he would definitely immediately send her into the cold palace.

She sent someone to put the pill away carefully, as if she had caught Shen Ling's handle, and immediately ran to the emperor's bedroom and shouted to see him.

"The queen really has no rules, she forgot that my bedroom can't tolerate others to make noise, so ignoring the rules, I'm afraid this queen won't be able to be for long."

The emperor indiscriminately stabbed the queen first, and now he has Shen Ling in his eyes, and it is not pleasing to see which one finds fault.

"It's the concubine who is reckless," the queen swallowed her anger and told her thoughts, "The concubine recently heard that there were two princes and a princess in the palace without warning, and she was a little panicked, so she thought about investigating the murderer behind the scenes, after all, although such a big matter cannot be publicized, but in order to prevent future troubles, it must not be left like this."

She spoke in a zigzag manner, thinking about how to bring down Shen Ling, and naturally she didn't pay attention to the emperor's delicate face and perfunctory and inattentive to this matter.

"And what did you investigate?" He asked softly.

"That's it," the queen couldn't wait to take out the pill, "The concubine investigated that the pill in Concubine Hua's palace was poisonous, and she was the only one in this palace who was the best at using poison, so she was quietly killing people and killing people, so femme fatale, the emperor must not be able to tolerate her so unconditionally."

What she said was very sincere, if the emperor didn't know the cause and effect of this incident, I was afraid that she would have been fooled.

But of course, he couldn't admit who did it.

"Then call Concubine Hua over, and I will ask her."

The emperor sent someone to spread the word to Shen Ling.

Shen Ling, who heard the news at that time, was not surprised, she had already found out that one of the pills in her palace had been taken away, this was a trap she had hereby placed, she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't want the fish to really take the bait.

She pretended to be panicked, her face turned pale, and her panicked legs were weak when she looked at the eunuch who was going to take her away.

"What the hell is going on? The emperor still wants to summon the palace in person?" Shen Ling pretended to be pampered and arrogant, after all, she had to do everything she could, she seemed to be under house arrest since she entered the palace, and she had never been anywhere.

However, the people in the palace are all rudder-watchers, and now they have the letter that Hua Concubine is going to fall out of favor, even if they used to circle around her like a pug, they are now determined to ignore it.

"You just go with the minions, the emperor is not looking for you for an important matter, how can we such slaves know?"

After Shen Ling came to the main hall, he saw the emperor and queen sitting together, looking like they were detached, and they had their own hearts.

The latter's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he wanted to subdue her immediately, like a poisonous woman who would suck people's essence as written in a book.

"The queen said that your elixir is poisonous, so I asked you to ask."

When the emperor saw her coming, he sent someone to put the poisonous pill in front of her and threw the cauldron to the queen.

Shen Ling lowered her eyes, and swallowed the pill to prove her innocence without thinking about it.

"Poisonous? It's not terrible for the queen mother to not understand pharmacology, but there is no need to be so excited, this medicine will only promote people's cultivation, and there is no toxin, the concubine also said, why is there suddenly a medicine missing in the palace, it appeared here, and it was almost wasted."

Shen Ling replied with a smile, but slapped the queen's face silently in these words, "It is said that this medicine will only work for half an hour, and you take it immediately, how does the palace know if you will take the antidote later?"

"The concubines have said so, but the mother still doesn't believe it, so let's wait for half an hour."

Shen Ling shrugged helplessly, and decided to sit here for half an hour to show his determination.

Seeing that Shen Ling was fine after eating, the emperor also swallowed one, and immediately felt that the realm had loosened, and he believed her words even more.

"Okay Queen, don't listen to those slanderous rumors, I can feel these changes in my body, and they really contribute to cultivation. Hua Concubine's innovation in the elixir is really as powerful as she said."

The emperor was very pleased with this, not only did not punish Shen Ling, but also praised her.
