On an equal footing with the villains

Chapter 187 Dead Man
Concubine Yang felt warm in her heart, and she was very happy about her emperor's concern, "Concubine mother knows, you have to pay attention to it yourself."

"Yeah." Yi Anning nodded, "I know about it."

"Ning'er is free today, have you finished all the things at hand? Is your father still satisfied?"

Yi Anning said, "Mother and concubine, don't worry, the things in my son's hands have been completed, and the father didn't say anything. It's just that he is not in good health, and my son is a little worried."

Concubine Yang's brows and eyes were also stained with sorrow.

She raised her eyes, and said with some hesitation, "By the way, have you seen the seventh prince who has returned to the palace recently?"

"Concubine Mu is referring to Song Lian?" Yi Anning said, "He has gone out to buy rice recently, and it may take several days before he comes back."

"He just came back, and your father gave him a mission?"

Yi Anning thought that the concubine mother was worried about herself, and hurriedly said, "Concubine mother, don't worry, the emperor naturally has his own consideration for doing this.

Moreover, I heard that Song Lian's mother and concubine passed away early, and Song Lian lived in exile for 20 years. It is normal for the emperor to feel guilty and sorry for him. "

Concubine Yang looked at the refreshments on the table with both eyes, and her hands holding the handkerchief tensed up.

After so many years, why did he suddenly come back?
He came back, but was it related to that incident back then?
-
Song Lian breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the bags of Lingmi loaded into the car.

As long as this is done, he will be able to have time to do his own things.

At this time, a guard came over and said, "I tell the prince that one of the purchasing team has died, and the inspection found that he died of poisoning."

"What poison is in it?"

"Qijue San."

Song Lian frowned, "How did he get poisoned? When did he get poisoned? Why did you report it now?"

Before the purchase was over, someone died here, and it was really suspicious to be poisoned by this kind of poison.

Song Lian got up and walked towards the backyard.

Before Wu Zuo left, Song Lian asked him, "How did he get poisoned?"

Wu Zuo hurriedly saluted before saying, "It should be because I accidentally ate something with Qijue San, and after Zhong Qijue San is released, I will die within a stick of incense."

Song Lian looked at the person behind him, "Go and find out what he ate in the stick of incense."

After less than half a cup of tea, the guard came back to report, "Return to the lord, he went out with Mr. Liu and the others to patrol today, and did not eat with us. After he came back, he ate with the cook in the back kitchen."

The cook was escorted by the guards, and when he saw Song Lian, he knelt down nervously and fearfully, "My lord, the grass people didn't do anything, the grass people don't know anything, please don't punish the grass people!"

Song Lian asked, "The meal he shared with you, why is it that you are safe and sound when he is dead?"

The cook said, "Caomin didn't eat with him. I actually wanted to take it home to eat with my wife and children, but the official might be very hungry, so he ate all the rice cooked by Caomin. I didn't have a bite." Touch it."

As he said that, he hurriedly said, "My lord, if you don't believe me, you can ask the cook who works with me in the back kitchen yourself."

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to go back to see your wife and children." Song Lian said coldly.

The cook was so frightened that he almost lost his wits, and quickly kowtowed, "My lord, the grass people are wronged, the grass people are really wronged! I just think that the rice that can be brought into the palace to be eaten by the emperor is definitely different from that of grass people. Want to try it, who knows that such a thing happened without taking a bite. I... I really deserve it!"
