"No, how could you do it, it's not so simple to kill Liu Xi, someone is helping you" Helan Minzhi frowned, his sister has not been in the palace for a long time, how can she kill Liu Xi without knowing it, and avoid the eyes and ears to throw the corpse at the gate of the palace.

"Brother, you're quite smart," Helan said with a smile

"I advise you to stop immediately, why should others help you, no one will help you for no reason"

Although Helan Minzhi tried his best to dissuade him, his sister Lady Wei Guo had been blinded by the position of the empress, and her mother had not been able to make it to that throne, and now she was within reach.

In Empress Wu's bedroom, Empress Wu has been thinking, looking at the pastry box on the table, although Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang make her hate it very much, but after all, they are both brothers and sisters, and the ambition in her heart is very big, if Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are willing to be loyal to her in the future, she doesn't mind protecting the Guogong Mansion once.

When he was thinking about it, a masked man in black came again, the same god was unaware, the martial queen had adapted to the existence of this black shadow, and she was also clear about his identity and purpose, and she didn't have too much defense.

"How is it, have you found the murderer of Liu Xi?" asked Empress Wu lightly.

"I'm afraid you won't believe it," the man in black chuckled.

"Don't sell it, I don't want to listen to your nonsense"

"It's Mrs. Wei Helan, I overheard it at the rush point just now, this girl still has a scheming, and she knows that with the help of the contradiction between you and Wu Yuanqing, she will blame you for the murder of Liu Xi and the corpse of the palace, after all, you are the one in control of the harem. ”

"Helan Clan?" Empress Wu's eyes showed a fierce light, "For the sake of my mother and my dead sister, I have been conniving, since she dares to attack me, then I am not welcome"

Empress Wu looked at the pastry box on the table with an imperceptible smile on her face.

"Come on, go to the Ganlu Hall to invite Mrs. Wei Guo, and say that Ying Guogong sent some snacks and ask her to taste them together."

"It's a mother!"

After the maid left, the man in black looked at the martial queen and said, "In terms of scheming, that girl is not as good as you, and in terms of ruthlessness, she is far worse than you."

"What, are you scared?" said Empress Wu

"Afraid? There is nothing in this world that we are afraid of, and who would refuse a loyal and capable subordinate?"

When Mrs. Wei Guo knew that Empress Wu invited her to taste pastries, Helan was stunned for a moment, which she had never expected, after all, the two were now fighting in the harem.

"You already feel the crisis and want to ease the relationship with me?" Helan smiled proudly and drove to the queen's bedroom.

There is a middle-aged *** sitting in the conservatory, and his every move is full of mature charm.

"Helan has seen the queen's mother" After all, she is not a queen now, she still needs to be careful, and she can't find any fault with the etiquette.

Empress Wu had a smile on her face like an elder looking at a junior, "Helan is a big girl now, and her appearance is even more moving than your mother."

"Niang Niang has won the award" Although both of them had gentle smiles on their faces, their secret thoughts were difficult to figure out.

"Call me my second aunt, after all, there are no outsiders now"

"Yes, Second Aunt!"

"This is some dim sum sent by your uncle Wu Yuanqing, and it is quite stuffy in this palace, so I called you over and tasted it together."

Empress Wu got up, opened the snack box, took out two plates of pastries and put them in front of Helan, this move made Helan even more proud, and he was not polite, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Yes, it tastes good"

"If it's good, let's eat more," Empress Wu said on the side.

"The imperial chefs in the palace are not as delicious as those made in my uncle's mansion, and my second aunt doesn't mind if I take them all," Helan asked with a smile.

"Of course not!" Empress Wu put the pastry she had picked up back on the plate.

The two chatted for a long time, chatting about some homely things, and bursts of laughter came out from time to time, like friends who talked happily, until Helan returned to Hanliang Hall with the food box, and the Empress Wu looked at Helan who left without any reaction.

"Your mother hasn't been able to fight me, how can you be an exception for this little girl"

Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were also very happy when they learned that Empress Wu accepted the food box, which was the first step in the reconciliation of their brother and sister, but they never expected that this food box would bring them a catastrophe.

In the middle of the night, the two brothers were sleeping in their respective mansions, and a knock on the door disturbed the night.

"Your Majesty has an order, arrest Wu Yuanqing Wu Yuanshuang!"

One sentence frightened the two of them, it turned out that the Helan clan died violently in Hanliang Hall last night, and after being verified by the imperial doctor, the box of dim sum was highly poisonous. Investigating the source of the food box, it turned out to be from the Yingguo Mansion.

The angry Li Zhi was anxious about all the prime ministers, and tried Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang at night, and the chief judge was Xu Jingzong. Xu Jingzong is also a cadre, as a prime minister, he is not only erudite and talented, but also insightful. The emperor, Empress Wu, Shangguan Yi, Pei Yan, Liu Renliang and Gao Jifu were all waiting for the results of Xu Jingzong's interrogation in the Hanliang Palace, and Li Zhizheng was holding Helan's body and weeping. Throughout the night, the atmosphere in Hanliang Hall was tense and depressing.

Xu Jingzong's efficiency is also very fast, and he will find out the ins and outs of the future at dawn.

"Your Majesty, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's brothers have confessed, and Empress Wu and Mrs. Rongguo were also involved during the period. ”

"Say!" said Li Zhi.

"The reason is that Lord Shangguan has been impeaching officials close to the Yingguo Mansion in recent days, which has led to the removal of many officials, which has greatly reduced the prestige of the Yingguo Mansion. Especially a few days ago, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun's brothers were exiled for corruption, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's brothers wanted to ask for help from the queen, but not only did they not succeed, but they were reprimanded and punished by the queen, and the two held a grudge. And it is said that the relationship between Empress Wu Niangniang and the Wu brothers is very stiff, and they have not even interacted for many years, and the two brothers are vicious and decided to poison Empress Wu"

"Poisoning the Queen?" There was a whisper in the Hanliang Palace, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans.

"What I want to know is, since it is to poison the queen, why is it Helan who is dying now" Li Zhi is a little crazy, and Mrs. Wei is her favorite concubine.

Because the two repeatedly asked to see Empress Wu and were refused, they found Niangniang's biological mother, Mrs. Rongguo, and the two tried to make Mrs. Rongguo a peacemaker. Mrs. Rongguo originally wanted to make peace between her brother and sister, so she brought this poisonous food box into the palace, and advised Empress Wu to forgive the mistakes of the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang in their early years. As for why the food box came to Mrs. Wei Guo, I think the queen should be able to explain" What Xu Jingzong said is reasonable, and it doesn't sound flawed, but Shangguan Yi always feels that there is something strange in it.

After several persuasions from my mother, Mrs. Rongguo, the concubines wanted not to blame the past, after all, they were all from the Yingguo Mansion, and it was time to resolve the grudges for so many years, and my mother wanted to see the Yingguo Mansion in harmony, so I also wanted to forgive the two. Helan is my niece, the concubine has always been because of His Majesty's partiality and the relationship with her is stiff and His Majesty is in a dilemma, it just so happens that the dim sum sent by the Duke of Ying Guo is an opportunity for us to make a fight, so I called her over to taste it together, Helan liked it very much, and took the dim sum away with the food box, and never came up with such a thing "Empress Wu knelt on the ground" The concubine is guilty, please punish Your Majesty"

"It's none of your business, you are also kind, it's just a pity for Helan" Li Zhi's heart was very soft, and said that the tears fell again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word," Shangguan Yi said

"Say!"

"Just now, Lord Xu said that Brother Wu Yuanqing sent two food boxes, one is Mrs. Rongguo and the other is Empress Wu. Since it was brought into the palace by Mrs. Rongguo, Mrs. Rongguo must not know that the box is poisonous, so if the two of them want to poison the queen, the perfect solution is that the two food boxes are poisonous, if one of them is poisonous..... "Shangguan Yi's words are not clear, but everyone knows that one is poisonous and the other is not poisonous, then the problem must be in the palace, and the queen is the only one who has touched the food box.

"Shouyan, you go to the Rongguo Mansion and bring the food box back" Shangguan Yi said this, Li Zhi also began to doubt Empress Wu in his mind, but looking at where Empress Wu was sitting, his face was not shocked, and his calm appearance did not look like a fake.

At dawn, this matter was in an uproar, and the nobles and wealthy families of Chang'an, large and small, knew about the poisoning of Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Rongguo's house is not very peaceful, after Mrs. Rongguo heard that Helan was poisoned, she personally found the box of dim sum, she has eaten a piece of this dim sum, there will be no problem. Although Yang is old, her thinking is very clear, and she immediately distributed the pastries in the food box to her subordinates, no one knows, she has a medicine bag in her sleeve, she already knows what Empress Wu wants to do, she has no other way but to choose to cooperate, after all, Empress Wu is her daughter.

Shouyan "Your Majesty, it has been found out that Mrs. Rongguo did not eat it because she was unwell after returning home, so she distributed the pastries in the food box to the next people, and three people died in Mrs. Rongguo's house!"

Empress Wu's body involuntarily relaxed, and slowly let out a sigh.

"Come on, put Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang into prison, migrate eight thousand miles, and set off on the same day" Now that the truth has been ascertained, Li Zhi is no longer merciful, migrating eight thousand miles is a major crime second only to beheading, exile to the most remote place is destined to die alone, and the Wu Yuanqing brothers will not be able to escape the fate of starvation and freezing in the future.

Although Shangguan Yi felt suspicious, he didn't say anything, after all, the fall of Ying Guogong was good news for him, he worked hard for so long, but he didn't completely defeat Wu Yuanqing, and he didn't expect that Nuoda's Ying Guo Mansion would collapse overnight. Pei Yan, Liu Renliang and Gao Jifu didn't say a word, originally this matter was a public and private matter of Yingguo, even if he fell, it would not have much impact on them.
