The emperor was furious, "How dare you to poison the emperor's heir so blatantly."

Lan Gui and Lin Jiabin, who had never entered the pavilion at this time, secretly rejoiced.

Doctor Li, who had been studying for a long time, suddenly came forward and said, "Back to the emperor, this medicine is as fine as dust and contains a large amount of Meng Qian ash. It will turn red when it dissolves in water. The person who administered the medicine must have had it in his hand." Object, even if it is wrapped in paper, it is very easy to be penetrated and contaminated. Anyone who has touched it will know it by testing it with water!"

The emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Yan ordered people to bring several basins.

"Everyone present today will be tested!" the emperor said.

At this time, the first basin of water was placed in front of Concubine Qi. She took a deep breath and put her hands into the basin.

After a while, the water slowly turned red.

Everyone was shocked.

"No! It wasn't me. I didn't touch Concubine Zhong's tea cup." Concubine Qi shouted in panic.

"Wait, Your Majesty!" Liangchen said and put his hand into the basin.

But after a while, Liangchen's water basin also changed, and the water turned red.

At this time, the eldest maid cried, "It turns out it's you two, and you two teamed up to harm my little master!"

The emperor looked at Concubine Qi and then at Liangchen, "Why is this happening?"

"Back to the Emperor, didn't you just say that everyone present should be tested? Only Concubine Qi and I have been tested, but no one else has." Liangchen said on his knees.

"Okay! Everything must be tested!" the emperor said.

At this time, Lin Jiabin also put her hands into the water. After a while, the water turned red. She quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I didn't go into the pavilion. How could I drink something in the teacup?" It’s poison!”

Just when the emperor was confused, Lan Guiren also put her hand into the water, and the water turned red. She immediately knelt down and defended, "I have been together with Lin Jiapin and have never entered the pavilion. It is impossible to poison, please give me a clear warning from the emperor!"

At this time, Huang Guiren tremblingly put her hand into the basin. Sure enough, without any surprise, her basin also changed color.

"Your Majesty, spare my life, not this concubine. I have no enmity with Zhong Concubine, why do you want to harm her?" Huang Guiren said, his whole body trembling.

The emperor frowned. He looked at the basins of red water in front of him and became even more confused.

Could it be that they united to harm Zhong Concubine's child? This is too unreasonable, and it is possible for several concubines, but why would Liangchen do this! ?

"What have you touched?" the emperor asked.

Concubine Qi was the first to answer, "Back to the emperor, I have only touched the pen and paper in the pavilion!"

Liangchen also replied: "Back to the emperor, I have also touched the pen."

Lan Guiren, Huang Guiren and Lin Jiabin looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, I have never touched anything." Huang Guiren replied.

"The same goes for my concubine. She didn't touch anything." Lan Guiren replied.

"I picked a few flowers! But I didn't touch anything in the pavilion." Lin Jiabin said.

Liangchen suddenly said, "Back to the emperor, there is something wrong with the pen! I handed the pen to Concubine Qi, so both Concubine Qi's and my hands were stained with Meng Qian's ash. After I handed the pen to Concubine Qi, I I checked the pulses of the three young masters, so the hands of the three of them were also stained with Meng Qian ash. This can also explain why all of us have Meng Qian ash on our hands."

The emperor suddenly realized.

Lan Guiren, Huang Guiren and Lin Jiabin also nodded in agreement.

"Check!" the emperor ordered, "Who prepared the paper and pen, let me check!"

The eldest maid trembled and said: "Back, back to the emperor, it's my servant! There is absolutely nothing wrong with the paper and pen I prepared. It was Miss Liang who framed me."

At this time, a plate of water was handed to her. She swallowed and put her hand in it.

After a while, the water didn't change at all.

The eldest maid immediately kowtowed: "Go back to the emperor, this slave is innocent, the water has not changed color, and I have never touched Meng Qianhui!"

At this time, Eunuch Yan took the pen over and put it into the water. The water changed color.

Liangchen spoke again, "Back to the emperor, the person who administered the medicine must know that this substance turns red when exposed to water, so his hands will be cleaned if they come into contact with the medicine. Since the medicine was administered after making tea, the person who administered the medicine must first Hide the medicine and wait until the tea is served before dropping the medicine. No matter what kind of cloth or paper the medicine is wrapped in, it will leak out. If the maid is innocent, take off her clothes and immerse her sleeve pocket in water. If the color has not changed, then it can prove innocence. Fortunately, this maid is wearing white clothes today, and there will be no red water leaching out from the white clothes."

The emperor summoned the two nuns doubtfully.

Then the two nuns took the eldest maid away, took off her clothes and quickly brought her back to the imperial garden.

A nun took out her sleeve pockets and dipped them into the water.

After a while, the water actually changed color, and the entire left sleeve pocket also turned red.

The emperor was furious. This scene basically confirmed that this maid was hiding poison.

At this time, although the people kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, they did not dare to take a big breath.

Concubine Qi said: "Your Majesty, whether this maid's purpose is simply to harm the emperor's heir, or whether she is killing the emperor's heir to frame me, we have to find out! If it is to frame me, there must be someone behind her. , this person has no regard for the safety of the emperor’s heirs, and we must not condone him.”

"She is Zhong Concubine's personal maid. I'm going to see Zhong Concubine!" The emperor seemed to be holding back his anger.

On the carriage returning from the palace.

Pearl couldn't help but sigh, "Miss, you are so awesome, how did you know there was something wrong with the pen?"

Liangchen raised his chin as if reminiscing, "I don't know, but Concubine Qi must touch her pen when writing. She is pregnant. Not to mention touching her things, you have to be very careful when breathing the same air as her. . Since Concubine Qi can’t hide, I have no choice but to touch her, just keep an eye on her.”

Zhu Cui gave a thumbs up, "Miss Liang is so witty, but what do you think, how will the emperor decide this matter?"

Liangchen blinked and said, "Zhong Bing belongs to Concubine Liang. This maid will definitely bear everything. The end result will be suicide out of fear of crime."

Zhu Cui and Zhu Er took a breath of air when they heard this.

Liangchen looked at Zhu Jian, his expression suddenly became serious, "It was the plan of the prince and I to send you to the palace. I wonder what you think?"

Zhu Cui smiled, "I am lucky that the prince and the lady chose me. I can not only make a difference, but also help the prince's family. This is an opportunity that many people can't ask for. I just feel grateful."

I feel relieved that Ma Tianxi has the right vision!The four maids may not necessarily be good candidates.Zhu Cui was only a second-class maid, and could not even see the prince. Being able to enter the palace was indeed a life-changing change for her!

Liangchen put his hand on Zhu Cui, "The harem is very cunning. If you can really enter the harem, you have to be more careful. You have to remember that you, the palace and Concubine Qi will both prosper and suffer."

Zhu Cui nodded.
