Queen is the top

He Jingyi glanced coldly at Concubine Hui and the others, and saw that the other party was terrified. The difference was that Concubine Hui, Magpie and the others were secretly afraid of He Jingyi, but Shi Qiaoting was secretly delighted at the sight of He Jingyi on her, thinking that it would attract them. Catching He Jingyi's gaze, he tried to put on a smile that he thought was beautiful, but unfortunately, He Jingyi's gaze passed her by, and he didn't notice the existence of this person.

He Jingyi turned his gaze back to the queen, and quickly stepped forward to salute the queen respectfully: "I pay my respects to the queen."

Seeing that He Jingyi's tense nerves relaxed a lot in an instant, the queen excitedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Yi'er, get up quickly."

He Jingyi looked at the tiredness between the Queen's brows, but still looked at him lovingly, his originally condensed expression softened a little, and said, "Thank you, Empress."

Everyone saluted to He Jingyi one after another. He Jingyi turned around and waved his hand, motioning for everyone to get up.

Concubine Hui watched his eyeballs roll, but she was scared away by his cold face before she could speak.

Qianlangwei, who followed He Jingyi into the hall, threw the woman in his hand to the ground. The woman lay on the ground with her hair disheveled, trembling, not daring to look up at anyone.

The queen looked at the puzzled Chaohe Jingyi and said, "Yi'er, who is this woman?"

He Jingyi nodded slightly towards the queen, but did not answer directly, but looked at Concubine Hui coldly, and said, "I heard that Concubine Hui is going to take away the people in the mother's harem?"

When Concubine Hui heard him talking to her, her heart couldn't help shaking. Perhaps it was because she and He Mingcheng had suffered too much from He Jingyi on weekdays, and He Jingyi's own aura was too strong. Concubine Hui always confronted him. I was afraid of three points first.

She considered for a while and said: "Your Highness, I acted according to His Majesty's will."

He Jingyi said coldly: "Father, do you want Concubine Hui to investigate the murderer or get rid of the empress's palace servants?"

Concubine Hui was startled, and hurriedly said: "What is the prince's intention? Don't frame good people."

He Jingyi was too lazy to look at her, and said to the queen: "Queen mother, let me see the imperial edict of father."

The queen nodded hurriedly, and handed the imperial decree to him. He Jingyi opened it and took a look, "The imperial decree says that concubine Hui is to assist the empress in investigating the death of the pure beauty and quell the rumors in the harem."

Concubine Hui couldn't figure out He Jingyi's routine, so she said, "This is His Majesty's wish for His Royal Highness, if you don't respect it, His Majesty's heart will be chilled."

He Jingyi nodded lightly, "That makes sense, then I will report to my father personally, the murderer has been caught, so as to save Concubine Hui from working hard."

Concubine Hui subconsciously glanced at the woman lying on the ground, and tapped the tip of her nose with a silk handkerchief, which she would do unconsciously every time she panicked.

The queen was surprised: "Yi'er, you said the murderer has been caught?"

He Jingyi nodded, and respectfully said to the queen: "Yes, the queen mother is this person."

The empress has raised He Jingyi for many years, and at the end he knows it very well. He Jingyi acts cautiously and meticulously. He must have heard about this matter and has already investigated it secretly. Fortunately, He Jingyi came in time today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

She glanced at the woman lying on the ground and said, "Who are you? Look up and let me see?"

The woman raised her body slightly, hesitating whether to raise her head, Su Jin said sharply: "His Royal Highness ordered you to raise your head, why don't you hurry up and take a snapshot! Do you have to suffer a lot to be obedient?"

The woman was startled, and quickly raised her head and said to the queen: "Your Highness, atonement! Your Highness, atonement!"

The queen carefully looked at the woman's face, but she felt unfamiliar. Su Jin looked surprised and said, "You are a dowry lady brought into the palace by a pure beauty! I remember your name is Shu Lan."

The woman kept nodding her head, and the queen was surprised when she heard the words: "Since you are the dowry maid of a pure beauty, why did you poison her to death?!"

The woman was too afraid to speak, He Jingyi glanced at Yun Donghai lightly, Yun Donghai understood, and handed the package in front of the queen with both hands, "Your Highness, these are jewelry, gold, and poisons that were found from the prisoner's house. The other palace people in Chunmeiren Palace identified that most of these jewelry belonged to Chunmeiren, and the origin of the gold is unknown, so it is not Chunmeiren's belongings. As for the poison, it needs to be examined by the imperial physician to find out whether it is the poison of Chunmeiren."

Hearing the word "gold", Concubine Hui's pupils shrank even more, and her head drooped subconsciously.

Shi Qiaohuang said: "Eunuch Yun, can you give me the poison to check."

Yun Donghai nodded, and handed the poison to Shi Qiao Huang, Shi Qiao Huang opened the bottle cap, shook the bottle, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and said to the Queen: "Your Highness, this is indeed the poison of a pure beauty. "

The queen was shocked when she heard this, and Su Jin said sharply to Shu Lan: "You have all the evidence, and you still don't tell the truth! Why did you poison the pure beauty, and who ordered it!"

Concubine Hui was shocked, and there was a trace of panic in her pupils, which was clearly seen by Shi Qiaohuang.

Shu Lan was terrified by Su Jin, she shook her body and said, "Damn my slave! Damn my slave! This slave just became greedy for a while, poisoning the pure beauty to death just for her property."

Shi Qiao Huang said: "What kind of poison is this?"

Shu Lan rolled her eyes, frowned, and said hesitantly, "It's a chronic poison called lingering grass. It doesn't cause any reaction after ingesting it. Once you eat the opposite food, it will kill you."

Shi Qiaohuang nodded, and asked again: "When did you poison the pure beauty?"

Shu Lan was taken aback, and stammered: "Last month, just because the servant broke a jade bottle last month, she punished the servant to kneel outside the hall all night, and the servant poisoned her for a while."

Shi Qiaohuang shook his head slightly, "No, the time for administering the medicine is not right. Did you really inject this poison?" Shi Qiaohuang said while paying attention to Concubine Hui's movement, seeing her drooping brows, he didn't know what to think.

Shu Lan's eyes widened, she panicked, and hurriedly said: "That's because the maidservant made a mistake! It wasn't last month, it was..."

Su Jin sternly criticized: "I can't even remember the day when I poisoned you! Did you poison it?! Did someone instigate you behind your back! Tell me!"

Shu Lan was so frightened that she fell back and was about to speak when a message came from outside the door: "Second Prince, please see me!"

Everyone was taken aback, why did He Mingfeng come here at this time?

He Mingfeng walked into the hall, looked at the people in the room, was obviously taken aback, bowed to Concubine Hui, and then walked up to the empress and said, "My son, please greet the empress." Then he bowed his hands to He Jingyi, "His Royal Highness."

The queen smiled at him, "Get up, why is Feng'er here?"

He Mingfeng smiled and said: "I just got a piece of precious jade from outside the palace, and I want to present it to my mother." He said and glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground, "I seem to have come at a wrong time, so I will leave first."

The queen waved her hand, took his hand, and patted the back of his hand, "Feng'er has a heart, every time she gets something good, she always thinks about her mother."

He Mingfeng smiled, and the queen said again: "The murderer of the pure beauty has been caught, and he is the person in front of me."

He Mingfeng was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Shu Lan, and said to the queen: "Since the real murderer has been caught, I can rest assured, now the rumors in the palace can be stopped."

The queen nodded, and glanced at Su Jin. Su Jin understood, and said to Shu Lan, "Quickly tell the truth! Is someone instigated!"

The queen also said: "You can't even remember the day when you were poisoned, and you clearly took the place of someone else's crime. If you tell me honestly, I can spare you the death penalty. Otherwise, if I find out the truth, I will definitely not spare you!"

Shu Lan's face was full of panic, and she knelt down to the queen again and again: "Your Highness atones! Your Highness atones! This poison is really a servant!"

As she said, taking advantage of everyone's ignorance, she slammed into the steps under the queen's feet, and blood spread at the queen's feet in an instant.

Shi Qiaohuang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to check Shu Lan who was lying motionless on the ground, sighed, shook her head and said, "She's dead."

The queen was taken aback by her actions, and took a step back. Fortunately, He Jingyi held her up in time to prevent her from falling.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, only Concubine Hui and Xi Que had joy in their eyes.

The queen looked at the pool of blood under the steps and stroked her heart, and Su Jin hurriedly stroked her back to help her calm down.

He Jingyi frowned, and the Thousand Wolf Guards quickly stepped forward and dragged away Shu Lan's body.

Su Jin helped Empress to sit down on the couch, Concubine Hui walked forward slowly, blessed her body and said: "Since the murderer has been punished, I have completed Your Majesty's mission, I will not disturb His Majesty's rest, I will take my leave here .”

The queen raised her eyes and stared at Concubine Hui without saying a word. The corner of Concubine Hui's mouth curled up slightly, she exchanged a glance with her, and led a large group of people out of the hall.

The queen patted Xiaoji angrily, "Check it out for me! Make sure to check it out!"

Shi Qiao Huang was ordering someone to clean up the blood, and said, "It's not difficult to find out this matter. This kind of poison medicine has never been recorded in the medical arts. It must be very rare. As long as we find out where the poison came from, whoever handles it can do it." Know the real culprit."

He Mingfeng said: "Mother, leave this matter to my son to investigate, and my son will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of it."

The queen looked at his serious expression and nodded, "Feng'er is up to you if you want to, just remember not to investigate wantonly, everything needs to be done in secret."

He Mingfeng nodded, and He Jingyi glanced at him with deep eyes, "Second brother, do you have time to come and sit in my palace later?"
