Chapter 245: Insight into People's Hearts (Four Changes)

Emperor Qingming saw the expression of the princess and asked lightly, "Concubine Ai is not in good health, so she rests in the palace, why do you have to come all the way to the imperial study?"

Wang Guifei smiled bitterly, "If the concubine doesn't come, the emperor will accuse the prince of acting arbitrarily."

Emperor Qingming frowned, "This is official business, and Concubine Ai has transgressed. If you have a headache, you should think less about it and be more open-minded when you encounter problems, so that you can gradually get better."

Wang Guifei secretly sneered.

In the eyes of the emperor, she is the kind of woman who is narrow-minded and must be compared.

This headache is what she deserves!

She held on to the armrest of the chair tightly, suppressed her anger, and said weakly, "Where is the concubine's headache, it was poisoned, and the one who asked the concubine for peace every day was the envoy of the Liu Academy, how could he not see it with his medical skills. The crown prince confiscated the Liu Yuan's house, which was ostensibly for the Yongping Marquis case, but in fact, it was a filial piety and anger!"

Zhao Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at Han Youning.

Emperor Qingming stood up, paced in front of Wang Guifei, and stared at her, "How did you know that you were poisoned, why didn't you tell me?"

Wang Guifei said, "These days, as long as the concubine worships the Buddha in the small Buddha hall, the headache will be light, but once you return to the palace, the headache will be aggravated. After many times, he remembered that he had no incense burning during his previous fasting and his headache was cured, so he became suspicious of the incense used in the temple. Yesterday, the concubine soaked the incense in water, and then soaked the steamed buns in water and fed them to the two mice, and the mice died not long after. The concubine has not yet found out who the real culprit is, so she doesn't want to make a noise......."

She sighed, "The crown prince happened to be there at the time, how could he not understand what role the envoy played in it. Unexpectedly, he finally failed to contain his anger and acted recklessly."

Emperor Qingming narrowed his eyes, a coldness flashed on his face, and instructed Wu Jian, "You go to Yikun Palace to get incense, and catch a few mice or living creatures next to you."

Wu Jian promised to retreat.

Emperor Qingming continued to ask Wang Guifei, "What are you letting the county lord of Zhaoping enter the palace for?"

Wang Guifei said, "The concubine remembers that the county lord said 'jade shatters to prevent disasters', so I want to ask her if she can see where the disaster is."

Emperor Qingming raised his head, stared at Han Youning with sharp eyes, and asked, "Can you see that?"

Han Youning blessed his body, "Back to the emperor, the courtiers don't have that ability."

This answer dispelled some of Emperor Qingming's suspicions.

If she said that she could see it, he would have wondered if the two had colluded.

Emperor Qingming asked again, "Then the envoy of the Liu Yuan is Wen Ruchun's son, and you have a lot of contact with them on weekdays, can you see that there is something wrong with him?"

Han Youning thought about it for a while and replied truthfully, "Back to the emperor, the courtiers have seen the envoy of the Liu Yuan twice in total. The first time was when Wen Ruchun pretended to be sick and deceived her father, wanting to force her father to save Yongpinghou, which was the medicine that Liu Yuan gave her. That medicine is extremely powerful, making people vomit blood and fall asleep every day, and one careless person can really die. But Envoy Liu was able to control the dose and let her be safe. At that time, the courtiers thought that he deserved to be the most skilled doctor in the Tai Hospital, and the poison was so powerful.

The second time was that Wen Ruchun's scandal was exposed a few days ago. At that time, all three of them were detained by their father, but before they could deal with him, they were invited into the palace by Concubine De. I didn't find anything wrong."

Emperor Qingming's face became gloomy.

Han Jun once impeached Envoy Liu for this matter, and what he said was basically the same as Han Youning's. And Concubine De sent someone to the Dingguo Mansion to pick up the envoy of the Liu Academy, and the excuse was that Concubine Wang Guifei had a headache, and he also heard that Concubine De has always been soft and kind.

These two things are very common, but when they are put together with the poisoning of Wang Guifei, it is unusual.

Liu Yuan used poison very strongly, but after so long, he couldn't see that incense was poisonous.

Liu Yuan made the medical ethics poor, and he could abuse medical skills to harm others for personal gain.

Concubine De forcibly took people away when Liu Yuanenvoy was in prison, so that Liu Yuanzhi escaped from the Wen Ruchun scandal.

Today, Concubine De's elder brother, General Cen, impeached the prince and arrested the envoy of the Liu Yuan.

Emperor Qingming's eyes tightened, "Concubine De, can you have any dealings with Wen Ruchun?"

Han Youning shook his head slowly, "The courtiers haven't heard of it, but a few days ago, when my father was furious, he said that he was going to kill the envoy of the Liu Academy, and Wen Ruchun said arrogantly that he didn't dare. Liu Yuan made the palace lady rely on her, and she was only detained for half a day before being admitted to the palace......

Suddenly, she remembered something, and she stopped talking.

Emperor Qingming said, "You say."

Han Youning hesitated and said, "The purse worn by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the courtiers look familiar, and the courtiers happened to see it when the second sister embroidered it. But maybe ...... It's the courtiers who are mistaken."

Emperor Qingming's face became more and more gloomy, and he turned back to the dragon case and sat down to suppress his uncontrollable anger.

It turned out that the two had made a decision in private.

Recalling Zhao Yin's recent actions, he helped Han Qingwan and Yongping Hou many times. After the death of Yongping Houci, he not only went to the Dingguo Mansion to report the news, but also accompanied Wen Ruchun to Dali Temple to make trouble.

If Concubine De had no contact with Wen Ruchun or even Marquis Yongping in private, he didn't believe it.

Phoenix Life. Is Concubine De planning to marry this phoenix girl back and build momentum for her son?

After opening up these joints, it is logical to think about the poisoning of Wang Guifei.

The poison must have come from the hands of Liu Yuan's envoys, helping Concubine De get rid of Wang Guifei.

If Concubine Wang Guifei dies, Concubine De will take charge of the harem, and Zhao Yin's status will be raised.

Concubine De has always been soft-natured, and she is still so scheming.

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy and stagnant, and no one dared to say anything.

King Chengjun glanced at Han Youning without a trace, and quickly withdrew his gaze and suppressed the amazement in his eyes.

Zhao Chen looked at the girl beside him with a calm expression, his eyes were full of inquiry.

She didn't say anything, but she seemed to say everything.

She refused to say that Concubine De was not, but she was saying that Concubine De was the murderer behind the scenes.

My father easily refused to believe the words of others, but looking at the situation at this time, he believed it completely.

Youning is a smart girl, but her intelligence is straightforward, and she is clear about the world.

But at this time, she is meticulous and perceptive.

Wu Jian led two little eunuchs in, bringing six rats in two cages and two jars of incense powder.

Wu Jianyu said, "Back to the emperor, one can of this incense powder belongs to Yikun Palace, and the other can is a new one that the slave went to the Internal Affairs Office to get it. Gonggong Liu of the Internal Affairs Office said that this is newly configured for Niangniang, and he has not had time to send it to Yikun Palace."

Emperor Qingming bowed his head in satisfaction.

"So you soaked each of these incense sticks in water, soaked steamed buns in the water, and fed them to the mice."

Wu Jian did as he was told.

The two bowls of soaked steamed buns were placed in two cages, and the rats in the cages swarmed up and scrambled to eat.
