Chapter 13 Breaking into the Cold Palace at Night to Interrogate the Queen

"Absurd, really absurd!"

"Just for a pot of flowers, you dare to poison a prince. It's in vain that you are still the Lord of the Sixth Palace, Queen Daliang. This is what you do as a queen?!"

"You are so mad at me!"

The news about the imperial doctor spread without saying anything.

How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly fall ill? The fact itself was very strange, plus he had just offended the queen and something happened now. It was hard not to make people think about it, and rumors spread that the queen had poisoned him.

.

This news reached the ears of Liang Wang Ming Zhengyuan. He was furious when he was refining elixirs. He called the queen to the Yangxin Hall and cursed her fiercely.

The queen also felt aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really not my fault. No matter how petty or bold I am, I would not poison a prince just for a pot of flowers. This, this is clearly framed."

"Framing? You are the Lord of the Sixth Palace, who dares to frame you?!"

"Your Majesty will investigate clearly."

"Needless to say, Queen Wen has failed in her moral conduct. From now on, she will be thrown into the cold palace. She will not leave the palace without my order!"

Ming Zhengyuan said in a cold tone, sending the queen into the cold palace.

The queen was startled and took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"

"What, you want to disobey?"

"I...don't dare."

There was a trace of sadness on the queen's face.

"Humph, if an ordinary concubine poisons the prince, even if it is to kill the nine clans, it is not too much. Queen, just throwing you into the cold palace is the greatest tolerance of the people. You should reflect on it in the cold palace."

Ming Zhengyuan snorted coldly, then rolled his sleeves and left.

Ming Wuyan was poisoned, and the queen was thrown into the cold palace...

These two incidents happened within one day and spread quickly in the palace.

Inside Tianxin Hall.

Ming Wuyan, who was lying on the bed, also heard the news from the outside world.

He was not surprised to learn that the queen was relegated to the cold palace.

For ordinary concubines, being thrown into the cold palace is already a huge crime, but in the face of murdering the prince, this crime is still too light.

But he also knew that the queen could not move easily.

In addition to being the mother of a country and having a respected status, the other party also has an extremely powerful force behind her that even the King of Liang is quite afraid of.

That is Wenjiapu.

Wenjiabao seems to be a political power, but in fact it is deeply involved with the imperial court. It is rumored that Daliang relied on Wenjiabao's power when the country was first founded.

Until now, Wenjiabao's influence in the court has been deeply rooted.

Except that the Queen is from Wenjiapu.

The current prime minister was the queen's eldest brother and a native of Wenjiapu.

Among the six ministers, two are also members of the Wen family.

There are also officials from various places, large and small, who are also involved with the Wen family.

And these people are the most important force in stabilizing the prince's position!

Once the prince ascends to the throne, Wenjiabao's status in the Daliang court and in the world will rise to a higher level, and he can even control Daliang!

But now, the queen has been thrown into the cold palace...

The prince and Wen Jiabao are bound to be affected.

"Queen, is it really the person who poisoned me this time?"

"Or maybe someone else is causing trouble?"

He must find out who poisoned him, otherwise, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

And to poison him, you must have the opportunity to come into contact with him.

Therefore, the servants in Tianxin Palace are the most suspicious.

He called the people from Tianxin Palace one by one and used the ecstasy method on them. He interrogated more than ten people but still could not find the murderer.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good, Xiaocui, she is dead."

At this time, a servant came in and said in a panic.

The Xiao Cui he mentioned was the maid who had served Ming Buyan for two years. Just now, she hanged herself in her room.

Before he died, he left a letter.

The letter stated that the queen forced her to poison her, but when she thought about the care she had received from Ming Wuyan over the past two years, she finally couldn't stand the condemnation of her conscience and committed suicide to apologize.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Ming Wuyan sneered.

"What is this? Murder and silence?"

You just poisoned him, and now you can no longer bear the condemnation of your conscience so quickly?

He used the method of ecstasy to question all the people in Tianxin Palace.

No murderer was found.

Apparently, it was indeed the dead Xiao Cui who poisoned it.

As for the dead, he naturally had no way of using the method of ecstasy. Although he had the letter, he still had some doubts as to whether it was the Queen who did it.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to the cold palace."

Ming Buyan looked at the letter and murmured.

…………

night.

The moon and stars were sparse, and inside the palace, a figure flickered in and out, like a ghost, elusive, and quickly moved towards the cold palace.

And in the cold palace.

The queen who had just moved here had no servants to serve her, and dim candlelight flickered in the silent cold palace.

The great feeling of emptiness made the empress who was supposed to enjoy all the glory at a loss what to do. Gradually, she slapped her palm on the table angrily.

With a bang, the table broke into several pieces. This seemingly delicate and glamorous queen actually had a power that ordinary people could not match.

"Damn it! It's clear who poisoned me!"

She was indeed dissatisfied with Ming Buyan.

But she would not murder the prince for a pot of flowers. The risks and benefits of doing so are not proportional at all. She is not that stupid.

Just when she was angry, a strange wind suddenly blew into the cold palace.

There seemed to be a figure in the wind.

The queen became wary, "Who?!"

She raised her palm and slapped it towards the person who came. Her true energy flowed and her force was strong. The power of this palm was not weaker than that of the top masters in the world.

But the person who came here reached out his hand lightly and grabbed her wrist quickly and firmly. At the moment of contact, the queen felt that her own energy had received an extremely heavy blow, and it actually collapsed on its own, unable to hurt the person at all.

A top-notch expert?

No, innate!

The queen was shocked.

What is the purpose of such a master breaking into the palace at night?

Could it be that Wenjiabao sent someone to save him?

But this was too risky. Regardless of whether he could successfully save himself, wouldn't this move alone confirm the fact that he was poisoned?

Moreover, this will also offend Ming Zhengyuan, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Thoughts passed through the queen's mind. When she raised her head, she met a pair of eyes with purple evil light, and her consciousness suddenly fell into chaos.

The spell of ecstasy works.

"Did you poison the Seventh Prince?"

"have."

Ming Buyan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

But the queen continued: "But that was three years ago."

Three years ago?
To be continued...
