silence.

The whole hall was filled with silence.

A moment later, Zhai Hanjing's trembling but sharp voice came: "You... what do you mean by this?"

She turned her head to look at Shangguan Lie again, her expression uncontrollably ferocious, "Your Majesty, what is he talking about? He..."

"What Le Jun said makes sense." Shangguan Lie frowned and pondered, but his eyes slowly swept across the audience and landed on Qin Bin, who had her head lowered.

But Zhai Hanjing grabbed his sleeve in disbelief, looked at him with wide eyes, and asked tremblingly: "So, does the emperor also think that I am the kind of person who would attack his own flesh and blood?"

Shangguan Lie:?

Shangguan Lie:......

Not to mention Shangguan Lie, even Zhuang Tong on the side was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head with a miserable look on his face.

Shangguan Lie had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't understand how Zhong Lingyuxiu's daughter-in-law could become like this. But when she thought about it, she realized that this was just a sign of her being upset because of the illness of the eldest prince. After all, she was not like this on weekdays.

As a parent, this is inevitable.

Shangguan Lie sighed, helped Zhai Hanjing up from the ground, and whispered at the same time: "The queen is too kind-hearted. During this period, besides your people, are there no one else coming in and out of Kunning Palace?"

Zhai Hanjing was still crying, and she didn't understand it even though she followed Shangguan Lie's strength to stand up. But after Shangguan Lie said this, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned to look at Qin Bin who was standing in the crowd.

After all, after getting along for so long, Qin Bin lowered her head, how could Zhai Hanjing not see her uneasiness!

"Qin Concubine..." Zhai Hanjing murmured, and suddenly raised his voice, "Qin Concubine!"

"Concubine, I'm here!" Qin Concubine knelt on the ground in panic. She said almost subconsciously, "I didn't do it! I didn't do it!"

After finishing speaking, the room was silent again.

Qin Bin also recalled what stupid words she had said. She took two steps on her knees anxiously. She wanted to say something more, but she couldn't. She could only look at Zhai Hanjing and Shangguan Lie helplessly, as if hoping they would believe her.

Unfortunately, after procrastinating for so long, Yu Bao has already found out a lot of things.

Afraid that the emperor would be impatient while waiting, Yu Bao hurried back after taking the people and evidence. At this time, the eldest prince vomited milk again, and his voice became hoarse from crying. Shangguan Lie could not bear to hear this, and his face became darker and darker.

.

Including Zhai Hanjing, they also looked at Qin Bin with the eyes of an enemy.

Qin Bin's panicked palms were sweaty, but she couldn't say anything. No one accused her, and she couldn't defend herself. She could only wait in embarrassment.

It was at this time that Yu Bao came, and as soon as he came in, he reported back: "Your Majesty, my servants have found out clearly that this is the person who tampered with the diet of the eldest prince's wet nurse!"

Behind him, several young eunuchs were busy holding down a strong cook.

The cook was still struggling at first, but when she saw Shangguan Lie, she suddenly laughed loudly, spat at Shangguan Lie, and said loudly: "Emperor Dog! You should cut off your descendants!"

"Who are you!" Zhai Hanjing was shocked, and the breeze behind her was also surprised: "Your Majesty, there has never been such a person in our little kitchen!"

The queen may not know who is in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace, but the maids under them also need to eat and often have to deal with them.

Wei Feng hurriedly said: "That is, during the period after the eldest prince fell ill, the servants were too busy and did not go to the kitchen. I don't know when the thieves took advantage of the loophole. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"

"Hahahaha! There is no need to check. Grandpa can change his name or his surname. Dog Emperor, remember, this throne should have belonged to His Highness Prince Rui. You just used cunning means to sit on it, but sooner or later you will fall off.

!” The cook smiled and relaxed her voice, which actually sounded like a man!

But when it comes to this, there is no need to say anything more. Shangguan Lie stood up suddenly and stared at the man: "It's King Rui... Are you from King Rui? How dare you... How dare you come to harm him?"

My Chenger!"

"Hmph, it's just that I came late, otherwise I would have found a chance, little one!" The man said no more. While the little eunuch was stunned, he tried his best to break away from them, and then took out a short and short handful from his arms.

The thin sharp knife was thrown at Shangguan Lie without saying a word!

There were too many people in the hall, and the man's arm was held down again in the blink of an eye. He knew that even if he fought to the death, he would not be able to hurt Shangguan Lie. He might as well fight like this once, even if he could not move the dog emperor, but he could scare him.

It's worth the scare.

It's just that his arm strength was limited, and the knife had a tendency to fall before it reached Shangguan Lie. Shangguan Lie was not afraid at all. He just sneered and was about to say something when he suddenly saw a figure jumping out and blocking the path of the knife.

on the road.

"Ah!" Concubine Qin's left arm was pricked. The castration of the thin knife had already slowed down, but now it slowly fell down, leaving only a medium-sized mark. It took a while for the blood to flow out.

She covered her arms and cried, "Protect me, protect me quickly!"

Shangguan Lie:......

It was not that everyone didn't react, but they could clearly see that the man was still far away from Shangguan Lie, and that the knife could not touch Shangguan Lie no matter what.

It's just that no one expected that someone would come out to escort you like this...

Zhai Hanjing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the guards outside had long heard the noise and had already subdued the man.

but……

"Your Majesty, he... had poison pills in his mouth and died." Zhuo Jiazhi checked and reported back with a frown.

Yu Bao also looked at the black blood flowing out of the man's mouth and sighed.

Shangguan Lie sneered: "If I didn't go for a spring hunt, the thieves would have almost taken advantage of me! Zhuo Jiazhi! Is this what you said you can do to protect the imperial city!"

Zhuo Jiazhi was originally kneeling on one leg, but after hearing this, he immediately knelt on two legs: "I am incompetent, please punish me."

"Hmph, go back and investigate carefully! See how this person sneaked into the Queen's Palace and pretended to be the cook in the small kitchen!" Shangguan Lie said angrily, "Let me find out clearly!"

Zhuo Jiazhi responded "Yes!" and then heard Shangguan Lie ask again: "Yu Bao, what kind of poison did this man give to the wet nurse?"

"Back to the Emperor, my servant has just found out that it is not a poison, but some medicine for treating diarrhea. As the wet nurse is in good health, these medicines are of no use, so they followed the milk into the eldest prince's belly..."

Yu Bao glanced at Shangguan Lie quietly and said, "Furthermore, I discovered that the rice noodles prepared for the eldest prince in the small kitchen were originally made of japonica rice, but now the ones that are warming on the stove are somewhat different..."

"My servant asked the eunuch who was serving the kitchen to taste it. The rice noodles were actually made from glutinous rice."

"Your Majesty, glutinous rice is difficult to digest, coupled with the effects of those drugs, it seems that all these factors made the eldest prince feel uncomfortable in the stomach and difficult to digest, which led to food accumulation and affected the spleen and stomach..." Yu Qingchuan said in time.
