An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 172 Multiple Verifications

The emperor was overwhelmed by the crying and noisy palace maids, but he also knew that the matter was serious, so he had to patiently listen to them explain everything that happened yesterday.

It was Su Peisheng who noticed the emperor's impatience and immediately comforted several people, asking them to calm down and explain the situation. Only then could the emperor make a decision for Nian.

The few people in Yikun Palace seemed to have found their backbone. They finally wiped away their tears and recounted everything that happened yesterday in detail.

But after all, only one person, the wife of Prince Dun, had ever visited the Yiku Palace.

The emperor nodded heavily. He ordered several people to take good care of Nian Da Ying. He also asked Song Zhi to write a letter home and sent someone to deliver it to Nian Gengyao at full speed.

After arranging these things, the emperor went to the inner room to visit Nian Shilan.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Nian Shilan being helped to sit up. Songzhi was feeding her medicine, but tears were streaming down her mouth.

The emperor couldn't bear to watch this scene, and turned away with a frown.

"Zhang Mi, Nian promised... can there still be hope?"

“In reply to your Majesty, after I discovered that Nian Da Ying had been poisoned by the Celestial Fairy, I immediately induced vomiting.

He also asked Miss Songzhi to feed her a lot of mung bean soup to neutralize the poison.

However, the dosage of Tianxianzi is too high, and Nian promised to be poisoned last night. I…I have no other choice.”

After saying this, Zhang Mi immediately bowed. He was worried that the emperor would be angry with him, but he had to tell the truth.

This year, Dancing has been poisoned so deeply that there is almost no possibility of recovery.

"What about He Anming? He is good at detoxification. Have you seen him?" The emperor glanced at Zhang Mi but did not get angry immediately.

"Both Imperial Doctors He and Wen came to see me, but unfortunately, they tried almost all the methods they could and there was still no improvement.

Now, Doctor He is preparing medicine in the Imperial Pharmacy and wants to try whether medicinal baths can be helpful.

If the medicinal bath doesn't work, the only option left is to fight poison with poison."

Hearing that there was still a way, the emperor finally nodded and asked Zhang Mi to stand up.

He strode forward and stood beside the couch, but it was a pity that Nian Shilan had become idiotic and could no longer call him "Emperor" or pull his robe coquettishly like she used to.

Now, she doesn't even look as bright and beautiful as before. The black liquid is flowing down her jaw. Even if Songzhi wipes it faster, she can't wipe away Nian Shilan's embarrassment.

"Shilan, can you hear me?"

The emperor spoke softly, but unfortunately Nian Shilan did not react at all. She was like a dull wooden figure, with a faint slap mark on her face, making her look particularly pitiful.

This is different from the impression the emperor has of stupid people. After all, those stupid people often respond to external voices.

It’s just that he doesn’t understand what others are saying, and he doesn’t know how to follow the rules. He just smiles foolishly all day long.

I don’t know if it was due to the poison, but Nian Shilan just stared blankly without blinking for a long time.

Songzhi was worried that her eyes were hurting, so she helped her close her eyes slightly.

This lifeless look hurt the emperor. He just wanted to have someone abort Nian Shilan's fetus, but how come the person became so stupid?

It seems that I have to go to Yongshou Palace and ask Xu Changzai what she did.

The emperor raised his hand to touch Nian Shilan's cheek, but slowly withdrew his hand.

He instructed Songzhi again, asking her to take good care of Nian Shilan, and then took Su Peisheng, Zhang Mi and others to Chuxiu Palace again.

Now the body of Concubine Duan has been moved to Ji'an, and the Chuxiu Palace has been searched from top to bottom, but nothing unusual has been found.

Wen Shichu and the coroner examined Concubine Duan's body and discovered that she had been poisoned by none other than the strychnine poison that had appeared frequently in the past period of time.

However, the dose was too large, and Concubine Duan couldn't even make a sound. She convulsed and suffocated and died.

But looking at her appearance, she must have suffered a lot of torture before her death, otherwise her face would not be so distorted.

The Queen was such a calm person that she couldn't help but exclaim when she saw it.

Xin Changzai, who lived in the same palace with Concubine Duan, was so frightened after seeing what happened that she hid back in her own palace and refused to come out no matter what.

"Your Majesty, I have followed Eunuch Xia to search the Chuxiu Palace, but have not found any strychnine powder.

Even the utensils used by Concubine Duan last night were checked one by one, and apart from the calming soup, there was nothing else.

only……"

Wen Shichu glanced at Jixiang before continuing to speak, "It's just that when Eunuch Xia and I were searching, we found some broken porcelain pieces in a pot of flowers in the hall.

After piecing them together, it turned out to be a porcelain bowl. I suspect that this bowl was once filled with strychnine poison.

But no matter how Eunuch Xia asked, Miss Jixiang refused to admit it. "

Hearing Wen Shichu's words, Jixiang's eyes suddenly widened.

Others may not know it, but she knows very well that the red flowers and fairy seeds in the Empress's hands were sent by Doctor Wen.

Now he even wants to pin the Empress's death from poisoning on himself. I'm afraid that Concubine Zhen deliberately harmed the Empress and wanted to kill her to silence her and frame her.

Jixiang opened his mouth and wanted to tell this story, but if he really told it, his life would be affected.

After all, his own queen had promised Honghua and Tianxianzi to Nian, and he was also one of the accomplices.

“In reply to Your Majesty, that flower is delicate. If it is not ventilated enough or watered too much, it will wither.

So the servant girl broke the bowl into pieces and placed it at the bottom of the flowerpot, which would help the soil drain and allow the flowers to grow better.

Your Majesty, you can ask the people in the flower room about this matter. I definitely did not lie."

Jixiang thought about it, but still couldn't reveal Wen Shichu and Xu Changzai.

After all, she still wanted to save her own life and avenge her queen one day.

Jixiang's words were well-reasoned and his tone was calm, so not only the emperor but even Wen Shichu believed them to some extent.

"Then send someone to the greenhouse to ask." The emperor waved his hand, and Xiao Xiazi went out to find someone in the greenhouse.

"There is one thing I don't know. Why did Doctor Wen suspect that this bowl was filled with strychnine poison? Could it be that the doctor found something from the fragments?"

Wen Shichu was stunned for only a moment, then he quickly reacted. He cupped his hands and said, "I just saw that the teacup was brand new, so I expressed my doubts reasonably."

"Doctor Wen has no evidence, so he suspects me. If someone who doesn't know hears this, they might think that the poison, Tianxianzi or strychnine, was put in by Doctor Wen himself."

Jixiang deliberately reminded Wen Shichu not to forget that he was also one of the culprits that caused Nian Yingzao to have a miscarriage and suffer from dementia.

Wen Shichu hurriedly apologized to Jixiang, repeatedly stating that he had indeed gone too far and that he should have investigated the matter carefully before reporting it to the emperor.

"I beg your Majesty to forgive me. I was indeed inconsiderate."

"It doesn't matter. Any clues may be clues to find out the truth."

The emperor did not vent his anger on Wen Shichu. After all, he already had a guess in his mind that Concubine Duan was the one who would attack him again in order to take away the royal heir in Nian's belly.

Xu Changzai is very smart. She can accomplish the tasks I assign to her without getting involved in the chaos.

It seems that I have indeed underestimated her. She is knowledgeable in political affairs and is indeed not an ordinary woman. In this respect, she is very different from Rouze.

"Then continue to investigate. Check Concubine Duan's diet last night, as well as everyone who had contact with her."

As the emperor was giving orders, the empress came in from outside. The emperor handed the matter over to the empress and summoned Prince Dun and his wife into the palace to tell them about Nian Da Ying's loss of his son and his stupidity.

On the other side, Ling Rong, Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Xia and others were chatting in the Fubiting Pavilion in the Imperial Garden.

Lingrong was actually very clear about what Concubine Duan and Nian had agreed to.

She helped Fu Changzai clear all obstacles behind the scenes, allowing her to successfully poison Concubine Duan. She even did Fu Changzai a big favor by putting the drugs into Yongshou Palace.

Now Concubine Duan was successfully killed and Nian Shilan also had a miscarriage.

The only thing that Lingrong found unbelievable was that the spoiled and domineering Nian Shilan had become a fool.

"Nian Yan, who loves to torture others so much, has become a fool. I'm afraid he will suffer a lot in the future."

Concubine Tian was fanning herself, and couldn't help laughing when she thought of Nian Shilan's idiotic look.

"I don't know how much bullying she will suffer in the palace in the future. I'm sure any palace maid or eunuch will torture her."

Ling Rong sighed and pretended to be sympathetic, worrying about Nian Shilan's future life in the palace.

"This is her retribution," Xia Dongchun and Concubine Tian were both more sarcastic than sympathetic, "She bullied so many people on a daily basis, and now everyone can finally feel proud.

It's a pity that she has become a fool and can't understand when you scold her."

Concubine Tian nodded repeatedly. She looked around and saw that several palace maids were guarding everywhere, so she dared to speak.

"Fu Changzai has already put drugs like safflower into Yongshou Palace through Xiao Li.

I didn't expect her to be so bold that she even wanted Xiao Li to poison Zhen Huan to death."

Ling Rong was already very good at playing dumb. She could even pretend to be surprised like Xia Dongchun. "Xiao Li didn't do this. It would have implicated you, my noble lady."

"No, I do want Zhen Huan to die, but I'm not stupid enough to rush to give her the evidence."

"That's good. If two concubines died in the palace one after another, the emperor would definitely send someone to investigate in detail. By then, following Xiao Li's clue, it is very likely that they will find you, the noble lady."

Lingrong said this, but in her heart she was secretly sighing what a pity it was.

In fact, at this time, listening to Concubine Fu's words and asking Xiao Li to kill Zhen Huan would be the best choice.

As long as Concubine Tian threatened Xiao Li's family, he would not reveal Concubine Tian's identity, and Concubine Fu would never know until her death that the people she "bribed" were actually other people's assassins.

However, Lingrong couldn't tell Concubine Tian directly. After all, she had maintained the image of being "harmless" for a long time, and she didn't want to reveal the evil in her heart so easily in front of others.

"Do you think this can be used to frame Zhen Huan?" Concubine Tian didn't know that Concubine Duan was actually poisoned to death by Concubine Fu through Jixing.

She thought that Fu Chang was timid and just wanted to throw dirty water on Zhen Huan.

But Concubine Tian didn't know, but Lingrong knew everything about it.

This round was truly a bloodless victory, as two concubines who were expected to become concubines or even noble concubines were killed directly.

Moreover, one is dead and the other is stupid. No one except Songzhi would know that she told Guonian that Concubine Duan wanted to harm her.

But Lingrong was not afraid that Songzhi would expose her. After all, Concubine Duan lost her life because of Nian Shilan's help.

They are all on the same boat, and this boat will not capsize easily.

"I think so." Seeing that Ling Rong didn't reply, Xia Dongchun took the initiative to speak, but she was not sure, "But what is she going to frame Xu Changzai for?

Was it Concubine Duan who was poisoned to death, or was it Concubine Nian who was poisoned and became stupid?"

"No matter which one it is, it's enough to make her suffer." Concubine Tian resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She suddenly felt that Xia Dongchun's brain was not very good and it was really tiring to communicate with him.

Lingrong looked at Concubine Tian, ​​then at Xia Dongchun, and for a moment she couldn't react to what had gone wrong between the two.

Why did they suddenly start staring at each other, especially Concubine Tian, ​​who looked like she was looking at a fool.

"The question is, can this crime be firmly pinned on her?" Ling Rong suddenly spoke, breaking the sudden silence.

"I can ask Xiao Li to bite Zhen Huan to death and say that these things were prepared by her."

Lady Tian said with great confidence, "I have all the people in Xiao Li's family in my hands. He will definitely not betray me."

Lingrong nodded. She knew the methods used by the Fucha family, but if she wanted to kill Zhen Huan, she still had to prepare the follow-up evidence.

“If Xiao Li really wants to kill Xu Changzai, he must also make arrangements for the source of these drugs in advance.

This way, when the Emperor investigates, there will be no mistakes."

Concubine Tian fell silent. She had checked with Wen Shichu and naturally knew that Zhen Huan got all the medicines from Wen Shichu.

The source of the drugs provided by Fu Changzai is unknown, but it is absolutely impossible that they were obtained from Wen Shichu.

If the emperor were to investigate, it would be almost inevitable that Fu Changzai would be exposed.

By then it would seem that Xiao Li was bribed by Fu Changzai to frame Zhen Huan, and the bitch Zhen Huan would not be affected in the slightest.

After all, he was the emperor, and Concubine Tian always felt that nothing could be hidden from him, so when Lingrong asked, she didn't dare to say with certainty that she could do it.

"In this case... there will be no way to bring Zhen Huan down again."

Concubine Tian frowned and thought of countless ways in her head, but she still felt that nothing would work.

She looked at Ling Rong expectantly, wanting to know if Ling Rong had any good idea to kill the bitch Zhen Huan.

"If you ask me, you should just listen to Fu Changzai and ask Xiao Li to poison her to death, and then put the blame on Fu Changzai. That would kill two birds with one stone."

Finally, Xia Dongchun spoke out what was in Lingrong's heart.

Ling Rong secretly applauded Xia Dongchun. It seemed that her words were not in vain. These two people finally understood the best choice at the moment.

Just kill Zhen Huan like this to prevent future troubles.
