Chapter Ninety-Five: The Birthday Banquet Poisoning Case

Zhan Xinglan looked at his beautiful peach blossom eyes, but there was no wave in his heart.

"Then I will tell you solemnly today. I used to be pleased with you, but since you and Xi Li'er conspired against my Zhan family on the day of the Qianqiu Banquet, I have recognized your face clearly."

"So, I didn't empathize with me or take revenge, but I came to my senses. Okay, I'm done, return the jade pendant to me."

Fu Tingxuan looked at her emotionless face, and his heart trembled slightly.

"It turns out that you secretly followed me to East Lake that day, heh, I didn't even know it. But even so, how sincere is Fu Xuanlin to you? He married you as a princess just to snatch you away from me, and his feelings for you are fake."

"Xinglan, I'm pleased with you. I can snatch you back if you want, and we'll start over. I promise, I will be 10,000 times better than Fu Xuanlin to you!"

When Zhan Xinglan heard such ridiculous words, he couldn't help but sneer, and then sincerely expressed his inner doubts.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you too confident?"

"But since that's all we have to say, let's just talk about it. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I can tell you very clearly that since I am married to Xuanlin is his wife, I will never have anything to do with you again in this life and this life."

"He's so good to me, you don't even do one in 10,000. People like you don't have real feelings. Your so-called liking for me now is just unwilling."

"Instead of wasting your time on me, treat your three wives and concubines with your heart, they are the ones you will spend your life with. It's not too early, and the concubine will retire first."

Zhan Xinglan stood up as he spoke.

"Oh yes, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it, keep it. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use this object to provoke the love between me and Xuanlin in the future, it would be better to let the horse come."

After saying that, Zhan Xinglan disappeared into Fu Tingxuan's field of vision without looking back.

He clenched the jade pendant in his hand, and there was a sense of emptiness in his heart that he had never felt before.

And at this moment, under the corner of the wall not far away, a light green skirt swayed slightly, and then disappeared behind the wall.

There are two pools in the east and west, the west pond is oval like a goose egg, and the east pond is like a round mirror.

Standing on the edge of the pool, you can see that there are three islands in the middle of the pool, and it looks like Penglai Wonderland from a distance.

Zhan Xinglan looked at the highest peaks of the three islands, and said silently in his heart: "In the past, Zhan Xinglan really loved Fu Tingxuan, and today I can be regarded as drawing an end to your solemn relationship."

She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, only to suddenly feel someone walking towards her.

Tan Xiang shook her light green dress and walked closer to Zhan Xinglan in small steps.

"Princess, you can make it easy to find your maid."

Zhan Xinglan rubbed his forehead and rubbed his temples, and said tiredly, "Miss Tanxiang doesn't go to catch up with the old master, what are you doing when you come to me?"

Tan Xiang respectfully stretched out her arm, and there was a handkerchief on that arm.

"Where did the princess's words come from, since the maid has entered the Ling Palace, she is the maid of the Ling Palace, so she naturally has to serve His Royal Highness and the princess with all her heart."

Zhan Xinglan glanced at her, "What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty has invited the princess."

Zhan Xinglan instantly understood.

No wonder Tan Xiang was suddenly so obedient and respectful, it turned out that she wanted to make a show in front of His Majesty.

She just said that Empress Yue couldn't get off the stage in the Lin De Palace, and now if she deliberately alienated the maid sent by Empress Yue, I was afraid that others might not say what she was putting on a show.

Zhan Xinglan hesitated, but still put his hand on the handkerchief.

"Let's go."

"Princess, slow down."

In this way, they walked all the way to the outside of the Lin De Palace.

Zhan Xinglan was really glad that this journey was not too long, otherwise she would have to be killed by such an abnormal epiphany.

Suddenly, there was a burst of sound from the Lin De Palace

Shouted, "Oh no! Her Royal Highness has fainted!"

Zhan Xinglan suddenly felt bad, and spread his arm and walked into the Lin De Palace.

Before you know it, your palms are already stained with white powder.

There was already a mess in the Lin De Palace, and I saw Yue Hou sitting on the phoenix chair and fainting, and her face and neck were also covered with dense small red rashes, looking disgusting and terrifying.

Zhan Xinglan only glanced at it and concluded that Empress Yue had been poisoned.

Although she knew how to heal, she didn't want to use it here to avoid any extraneous complications, so she just stood on the periphery and waited for the arrival of the imperial doctor.

However, the prince's three wives and concubines shouted around Empress Yue, and they were stunned to call out Emperor Jing and Fu Xuanlin, who were talking secretly in the west hall.

Fu Xuanlin saw Zhan Xinglan standing in the crowd at a glance.

When he saw Yue, his face suddenly became terrifying, and he hurriedly stepped forward to protect Zhan Xinglan.

"Lan'er, don't be afraid."

Zhan Xinglan was actually not afraid, but as soon as she saw Fu Xuanlin, she inexplicably became delicate.

"Lord Wang, I'm glad you are here."

Fu Xuanlin hugged her shoulders tightly and protected her body to his chest, so that she would no longer look at Empress Yue's face.

After some tossing, Empress Yue was carried to the side dormitory of the east hall.

Except for Emperor Jing and the crown prince, everyone else was ordered to stay in the Lin De Hall and wait.

Everyone speculated about what happened to Empress Yue.

Some people say that Empress Yue ate something bad, and some people say that Empress Yue was coated with bad rouge gouache.

However, the most said that Yue Hou was poisoned.

This was also Zhan Xinglan's conjecture, but she still couldn't determine what kind of poison Empress Yue had suffered.

"Alright, stop speculating, let's sit down first."

Ke Wanning scolded loudly with a weak heart.

At this moment, the three highest-ranking people in the palace are not here, and Ke Wanning is the one who has the most right to speak.

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to disobey her words, and they all sat down obediently.

Zhan Xinglan was about to sit down, but suddenly felt chaos in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a cold struck, and her body suddenly weakened after shivering, but fortunately, Fu Xuanlin hugged her in time.

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Lan'er!"

Zhan Xinglan lay in Fu Xuanlin's arms, looked at Fu Xuanlin's hazy side face, and then closed his eyes with a painful expression.

"Lan'er, wake up! Lan'er, wake up......

Fu Xuanlin's anxious shouts gradually blurred in his ears, and Zhan Xinglan completely fainted.

In the Lin De Palace, the imperial doctor knelt in front of the couch to take the pulse.

Emperor Jing's father and son looked worriedly at Empress Yue and Zhan Xinglan, who had been unrecognizable.

"Imperial Physician Hong, what's wrong with the Empress and Princess Ling?"

The Imperial Physician withdrew his withered hand, and said with a solemn face, "Back to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Queen and Princess Ling have been hit by a strange poison in the Western Regions. The poison is a white powder, and when it touches the skin, it can cause a rash all over the body, and it is so poisonous that those who use it must be very careful not to be affected."

Fu Xuanlin hurriedly asked, "Is there a way to detoxify?"

Imperial Doctor Hong shook his head, "This poison must be completely eliminated with a special antidote, if you use it without authorization, the medicinal properties are compatible, I am afraid it will backfire, and in severe cases, it will cause the skin to ulcerate and suppurate."

Fu Xuanlin's heart sank instantly, "Then, in addition to the rash, are there any other symptoms?"

"Back to Your Highness, there are no other symptoms, but I'm afraid this face is difficult to repair."

Emperor Jing waved his hand, "Alright, stand down."

Imperial Physician Hong retired and closed the door of the temple.

"Kou Huai, pass on my will, you can block the imperial city, and anyone who has set foot in the Lin De Hall today will be searched one by one, and no suspicious person will be spared."

"The old slave obeys."

After a while, the outside of the Lin De Hall was neatly filled with people.

They

I don't know what happened, it is inevitable that people will be panicked, and they are afraid that they will become like Queen Yue and Princess Ling for a while.

Kou Huai ordered the minifigure to carefully search everyone's body, and finally found a small porcelain bottle containing poison on the body of a little maid.

"Someone! Take her down!"

Kou Huai shouted, and a group of Qianniu guards rushed in front of the little maid in armor.

Seeing this, the crowd around the little maid dispersed, and hastily dispersed an encirclement.

Qianniuwei was tall and big, and he subdued her after dividing five by two.

"Let go of me!"

The little maid cried out hoarsely.

Although He Fuyan, who was standing at the front of the crowd, couldn't see what was happening behind her, she felt familiar when she heard the shout.

"Isn't this the voice of Hexiang?"

Ke Wanning pretended to be concerned and said, "Concubine He, listening to this voice, it seems to be the lotus girl of your Lizhen Palace."

He Fuyan frowned and asked, "What does the crown princess mean?"

At this moment, Emperor Jing walked out of the Lin De Hall and stood on the steps.

Fu Xuanlin and Fu Tingxuan stood behind Emperor Jing on the left and right, their faces were very solemn.

Emperor Jing stood still, "Bring her here."

The little maid struggled and was led down the steps by Qianniuwei.

He Fuyan saw that it was really Hexiang, and instantly panicked.

"Lotus?"

Emperor Jing asked with his back hand, "Which palace are you in?" Why do you want to poison the queen and princess?"

Hexiang's face was fearless, and she said slowly, "The maid is Hexiang in Concubine He's palace. When the maid first entered the palace, she entered the master's room with years of embroidery, but just a month ago, the maid accidentally damaged the queen's dress, and was punished by the queen with a stick."

"The maid practiced embroidery when she was a child, and her greatest wish was to sit in the position of the boss one day, but from that day on, the maid would no longer be able to hold the embroidery needle, and the maid would not be worthy to continue to stay in the master room. Fortunately, Concubine He entered the palace at that time, so that the maid would not end up with nowhere to go."

"The day before yesterday, Concubine He quietly gave the maid a bottle of poison, saying that this thing could destroy the things that the queen cared about the most, and could make the maid avenge the crippled hands, and the maid hated the queen and was grateful to Concubine He, so she agreed. As for Princess Ling, Xu is a maid accidentally got the poison on Princess Ling's mother."

Fu Tingxuan frowned tightly after hearing this, and glared at He Fuyan angrily, "It turned out that you did it!"

"No, Your Highness, I was wronged."

He Fuyan was detained with a big basin, and she slapped Hexiang angrily.

"Hexiang, I treat you well, why do you slander me!"

"Stop!"

Emperor Jing stopped her.

"Concubine He, can you admit what Hexiang said?"

He Fuyan knelt down, her face full of grievances.

"Father, daughter-in-law is not poisoned! The queen mother is the aunt of the daughter-in-law, so why should the daughter-in-law harm her?"

Hexiang turned her head and continued to mend the knife, "Concubine He, it was you who told the maid in person, the queen originally wanted you to be the crown princess, but the queen suddenly reversed herself, so you had to be a little concubine. Now that the East Window incident has happened, does Concubine He dare to do it?"
