Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

Feng Xuan Che took the wine glass in front of Du Xuechun and drank it without hesitation.

When Du Xuechun saw that Feng Xuanche and Xue Ning were chatting again, he turned his attention to Xue Lan.

"The pastry looks good, Laner, come over and try it together."

"Huh?" Xue Lan was stunned, then nodded firmly. "Empress, I'll come first."

Xue Lan said, Empress, she will come first!

Du Xuechun only realized that Xue Lan had never called her the empress during this time! Combined with her strangeness today, could it be this cake, is there a problem?

Du Xuechun looked at the dim sum suspiciously, but Xue Lan had already fed the pastry in front of him into his mouth without hesitation.

Xue Ning on the other side also saw Xue Lan's movements, and the glass in his hand shook, but in the end, he chose to ignore it.

"Niangniang, this pastry..." Xue Lan was a little surprised. This pastry seemed to be fine, but before she finished speaking, Xue Lan was pushed to the ground. Suddenly she felt some fishy heat in her mouth, and her mouth was full. The blood came out. At the same time, a court lady flew forward.

She just raised her hand but was rushed by Xue Ning not far away, and then kicked the court lady aside. Suddenly, the guard came out and detained the maid.

"Chun'er?" Feng Xuan Che guarded Du Xuechun by his side, but Du Xuechun's eyes fell nervously on Xue Lan not far away.

Feng Xuan thoroughly understood and waved his hand, and Xue Ningcai immediately checked Xue Lan's situation.

"The emperor, Miss Xue is poisoned."

poisoned?

There were assassins just now, and now someone is suddenly poisoned. What is there to do with today's flower viewing feast?

At this time, the ladies and ladies bowed their heads and all knelt in place, not daring to say a word.

"Check!" Feng Xuan Che shook his hand, his cold eyes circled the crowd below.

"My lord, empress empress?"

Xue Lan, who was dying, suddenly came with strength and grabbed Xue Ning, speaking with a burning voice.

She desperately looked at the high platform, but Du Xuechun was surrounded by the crowd, and Xue Lan could not see anything.

Xue Ning lowered his head, looked at the woman lying in a pool of blood in front of him and shook his head, "She's fine."

"That's good--"

The fingers tightly holding Xue Ning's sleeves slowly loosened, and then Xue Lan sighed and slowly closed his eyes.

Not far away, Du Xuechun also pushed Feng Xuanche away, and must come and see Xue Lan. She knew that Xue Lan didn't want to hurt herself.

Although she asked Xue Lan to come over to eat the cakes, it was Xue Lan who was the first to show her gluttonous appearance.

Why did she forget that Xue Lan doesn't like sweets like a normal girl's house.

"Lan'er?" Du Xuechun called Xue Lan's name, "Xue Lan, wake up, come, and save her."

"Take Miss Xue down and take good care of her." Feng Xuan Che sighed and spoke to the guard next to him.

He walked to Du Xuechun's side, "The queen is tired, come here, send the queen back."

The guards acted rudely. When she was about to drag Xue Lan halfway, Xue Ning, who had been standing next to her, pushed away the guards, bent over and picked up the person from the pool of blood.

For Xue Ning's behavior, Feng Xuanche was just stunned. He believed that Xue Ning himself would be sure of what to do.

But Zhang Wan'er here also recognized in this incident that she was asked to help the Associate Sixth Palace, but it was the emperor to better protect the queen.

When she recognized this, Zhang Wan'er actually laughed.

The court lady on the side reminded Zhang Wan'er in a low voice, "Manny, you must not laugh, otherwise the emperor will be angry."

"Really?" Zhang Waner turned and looked at the person next to her, "Will the emperor notice this palace?"

The answer was obvious. She raised her head, and Feng Xuan Che, who was not far away, was talking about something with the guard on the side, her expression as cold as ever.

The smile on Zhang Wan'er's lips became more and more serious, but the court lady on the side dared not say a word. My wife is a bit weird today, she still won't be in trouble.

Feeling a glimpse of sight, Feng Xuanche turned around and saw Zhang Wan'er looking at him, frowning, "Shu Fei, what did you find?"

Zhang Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded: "The emperor, the concubine has already instructed to go down just now, and there will be results soon."

"As soon as possible." Feng Xuanche frowned.

"Yes, the emperor."

Du Qingheng on the side looked at the scene in front of her, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. She turned her head to look at Mu Shen beside her.

At a glance, Mu Chen stood behind her with his head down, as if he was no different from other eunuchs in this palace.

Du Qingheng hesitated for a moment, before speaking to Feng Xuanche: "The emperor, the concubine thinks that today's matter must be inseparable from the talented Xue Lan."

"Really?" Feng Xuan pursed his lips and smiled.

"Come here, follow Concubine Liang's guess to check."

His original plan was to use Xue Lan to fish out whether the Xue family was related to Feng Xuanming, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen today.

"Emperor, Xue Taifu lost track last night. According to the informant's report, Xue Lan just used the pastry to poison him because of this."

Xue Ning did not know when he would start, and he returned to the Imperial Garden.

Everyone was in a sluggish state because of what he just said. If this is the case, it can be clear that Xue Lan is indeed the poisoner, and her purpose has also been explained, which is for her father.

Most of the visitors were female relatives, and felt a little sympathy for Xue Lan's behavior.

The corners of Feng Xuanche's cold lips rose slightly, and this scene happened to be seen in the eyes of Du Qingheng's Mu Shen calmly.

"Continue." Feng Xuan Che nodded.

"The emperor, the minister requested a thorough investigation of the Xue family and help Miss Xue find Master Xue."

Feng Xuanche raised his head and glanced at Xue Ning in front of him. This person still understands him. The disappearance of Xue Taifu must have involved many families.

"Okay, I'll leave this to Ai Qing." Feng Xuanche agreed, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Wan'er.

Zhang Waner knows.

"The concubine suspects..." Zhang Wan'er hesitated, but finally made up her mind to speak, "The concubine suspected that the assassination was a concubine."

The investigation just now made her discover that the assassin court lady was originally the confidant of the concubine Xian's palace, but she was punished for doing something wrong two days ago.

It now appears that this punishment must have been deliberately designed.

After Zhang Wan'er had finished talking about everything, Feng Xuanche had no other expression except for frowning deeper.

"The emperor?" Zhang Wan'er spoke again, carefully asking for instructions.

Finally, Feng Xuanche looked at Zhang Wan'er, "The good concubine has not been in the palace for a short time, and this period is also respectful and gentle, and the Xu family has always been loyal, presumably the daughter of the family will not be too bad. Follow the rules."

At this moment, Xu Qiuqiu was in a daze in his palace, never thinking that the danger was coming.

Finally, she had a chance to see the emperor, but she did not expect to contract the wind and chill suddenly.

"Meier, how is the palace banquet today?"

Xu Qiuqiu spoke to the little palace lady in the courtyard, but no one agreed for a long time.

She got up and planned to take a look, but the door of the room was opened, and then a group of eunuchs and mothers swarmed up.

"Bold, presumptuous, what are you doing?"
