Fortunately, Ye Xuanchen was strong and the wound did not open again after it collapsed twice.

As the days passed bit by bit, Ye Xuanchen also traced the critical moment of the black powder incident.

But at this moment, news came from the palace.

It is said that Taishi Su and a group of courtiers jointly submitted a letter, hoping that the emperor would close the case as soon as possible and clear the king of Chu's name. He said that he could not hurt the hearts of the soldiers because of this.

So that day, the emperor announced in the court hall that Sun Chen and Gong Zuo would be imprisoned in the dungeon until the end of the autumn.

Gong Wen, the Minister of Rites, was implicated by Gong Zuo and was exiled thousands of miles away.

In recent days, Ye Xuanchen had not been to court for many days due to an injury on his back. He only heard Yingyi talk about this matter after he went to court.

"They are so impatient. Could it be that they have noticed something?" Shen Chenbi frowned, with a solemn look on his face.

Ye Xuanchen shook his head and pursed his lips tightly, "No, I investigated this matter myself, and there will be no clues. However, they are in a hurry to close the case at this time, and I'm afraid the Queen won't be able to wait any longer!"

Grand Master Su is the Queen's father, so he must have been instructed by the Queen to do this.

Hearing this, Shen Chenbi fell into deep thought.

"I have to go to the palace. This matter is of great importance, so I can't just let it go!" Ye Xuanchen hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to explain the situation to the emperor.

But Shen Chenbi took his arm, with a worried look on his face, "But now we have no proof, how can the emperor believe you?"

"Even if the emperor doesn't believe it, he won't make things difficult for me. Don't worry, Xu Er, I will come back safe and sound!" Seeing that Shen Chenbi was worried about him, Ye Xuanchen smiled and reached out to touch the top of her head.

Ye Xuanchen was determined to go, so naturally she couldn't stop him, so she simply let him go.

Not long after, Ye Xuanchen arrived at the palace. The emperor had just issued an order to imprison the person during the day, and he was having a headache at the moment. This case involved both the Sun family and the Gong family, which was really difficult for him to handle.

When Ye Xuanchen entered the palace at this time, he even mentioned this matter. The emperor only felt that one was bigger than the other.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there are still many strange things about this matter, and I think it is not appropriate to close the case hastily." Ye Xuanchen told the Emperor what he felt was strange.

But the emperor did not let go. He just frowned and replied, "But these are all speculations of the King of Chu. Does the King of Chu have any evidence to prove that this matter was not done by the Gong and Sun families?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuanchen could only shake his head.

"In this case, King Chu should find the evidence and come back to tell me!"

Seeing this, the emperor issued an order to expel the guests.

Ye Xuanchen had no choice but to leave the palace for the time being. He had to find a way to find the evidence as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late if it was later.

When he returned to the house, he saw Shen Chenbi walking around the door of the house anxiously.

"Xu'er, why don't you wait for me inside?" Ye Xuanchen stepped forward and naturally took Shen Chenbi's hand.

Shen Chenbi pulled the person in. Seeing that there was no one around, she took out a drawing from her sleeve, with several places circled on it, "Since the queen has a disloyal heart, she will definitely not The black powder will be placed in remote places. I heard about these places by chance before. The prince seems to have hidden something secretly here. Maybe there will be some clues here, and the prince can send someone to search."

Seeing this, Ye Xuanchen quickly took the drawing over. After looking at it for a few times, Ye Xuanchen's eyes lit up a little, "Okay, I'll check it out right now!"

After saying that, Ye Xuanchen left.

Looking at Ye Xuanchen's leaving figure, Shen Chenbi was a little worried.

She only remembered these places based on the memories of her previous life. She didn't know if the black powder might be hidden there.

At this moment, Biyun came to her in a hurry.

"Miss, miss, it's not good, the queen has summoned the madam into the palace!"

Hearing this, Shen Chenbi frowned, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

The queen is so anxious to attack her mother?

"The queen must have bad intentions, I have to go and take a look!" Shen Chenbi didn't have time to deliver a letter to Ye Xuanchen, so she hurriedly left with Biyun.

Not long after, when Shen Chenbi arrived, he saw Chen Wanzheng joking with the queen.

Especially the wrinkles on the queen's smiling face could not be covered.

Shen Chenbi stood there without knowing why.

The queen who was sitting on top saw her and greeted her with a smile: "Xu'er, why are you here? Stop standing and drink tea!"

"Thank you, Queen!" Shen Chenbi bowed, sat aside obediently, glanced at Chen Wan, and had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

The two of them are obviously incompatible with each other, but why on the surface do they look like sisters.

Seeing that Shen Chenbi was silent, the queen smiled and said: "Xu'er came just in time. Mrs. Chen just told me that since she entered the palace, you have given her a lot of food and made her gain a lot of weight." .”

Hearing this, Shen Chenbi smiled and said, "Mother has suffered a lot some time ago and has lost weight. Now that she is back home, I will naturally replenish her body."

After hearing this, the queen concealed the calculation in her eyes and sighed, "Yes! In the past, when Mrs. Chen was in Liuzhou, she was pampered and had the best food and drink. However, now Mrs. Chen is... Can not remember."

As she said that, the queen secretly glanced at Chen Wan's expression.

But there was no reaction on Chen Wan's face, as if he was not talking about her.

Seeing this, the queen could only secretly clench the hands under her sleeves and ask tentatively, "I remember that on the day Mrs. Chen got married, Mr. Chen prepared forty or fifty boxes of dowry, and even the glazed stones were given to Mrs. Chen! , Mrs. Chen really doesn’t remember anything?”

Sure enough, it was still a glazed stone. Shen Chenbi paused in his heart and squeezed his palms nervously.

After hearing this, Chen Wan suddenly frowned, and her face gradually became painful.

Suddenly, Chen Wan was seen holding her head, moaning in pain, and kept mumbling, "I don't know, I don't know anything, my head hurts..."

After that, Chen Wan shrank and was about to push something on the table.

Shen Chenbi quickly stepped forward and hugged Chen Wan's body, comforting her anxiously: "Mom, it's me, I'm Xu'er! If I can't remember, then let's forget about it, okay?"

Seeing this scene, the queen looked at the two of them dubiously, as if she was suspicious.

Suddenly, Chen Wan pushed Shen Chenbi away, as if she was crazy, and pushed everything on the table to the ground. The tea set was shattered on the floor, and the tea splashed on her skirt and shoes, but she seemed like He couldn't see anything, he could only scratch around randomly.

"I don't know, my head hurts. Who are you..." Chen Wan spoke incoherently, making it unclear what she wanted to express.

Chen Wan has always been clean-minded before, and has never been as embarrassed as she is now.

When the queen saw this, she believed it a bit, but she was also frightened by Chen Wan's appearance and shrank back, fearing that Chen Wan would suddenly go crazy and hurt her.
