Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin in confusion. Many things she heard tonight were beyond her expectations and beyond her imagination.

"You never thought that someone would use the concubine to assassinate the late emperor?"

"That's not true, it's conceivable." Shen Cha calmed down and shook his head gently, "Although I have never met the Empress Dowager, every time my mother mentioned her, she was in awe, saying that she... …”

"The method is weird, isn't it?"

"Yes." Shen Cha nodded slightly, "If the Empress Dowager sincerely wanted to target the late Emperor and put the late Emperor to death by any means necessary, then anything that happened around her would be understandable. I was just thinking. , the people around the late emperor are not very good, let alone the chamberlain, the bodyguards are so weak, they can't even control a concubine who has no strength to restrain a chicken."

"It's not like I'm powerless. Those sent from the Western Regions still have some strength." Shen Haolin couldn't help but patted Shen Cha on the shoulder, "But what you said is quite right, late Emperor." The guards around him are indeed not very good at martial arts. The late Emperor was in danger several times and it was all related to them."

"This is the reason for the existence of shadows." Shen Cha snorted, "Those idlers in Yushitai always say that we have private soldiers, and they wish they could take a copy of us every day and knock us out of power. "

"There is no need to be serious with these people who don't understand anything. Once they experience the danger themselves, they will understand why." Shen Haolin waved his hands indifferently, "No matter what you say to them now, they will not understand. It's like playing the piano to a cow."

"Brother is right." Shen Cha nodded, "Brother, please continue."

"Think about where I should tell you." Shen Haolin lowered his head and thought for a moment, "What happened is that my father, Master Huilan and the late emperor were drinking and chatting in the imperial study. They didn't chat for long. According to my father, As I said, while I was having a cup of tea, I heard a noise coming from outside. My father originally wanted to go out and take a look, but before he could get up, the door of the royal study was kicked in from the outside."

"Did you kick it?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, "Well... people from the Western Regions are really strong with their feet."

"Yes, Master Huilan also said that this tall lady from the Western Regions is stronger and stronger than our girls from Daxia. After being plotted by others, she becomes a bit unstoppable. ." Shen Haolin saw the disgusted expression on Shen Cha's face and smiled helplessly, "The moment she kicked down the door of the royal study room, my father said that he was also a little stunned, and he couldn't calm down for a short moment. Come. However, as a veteran who has been fighting for many years, his arrogance did not prevent him from stopping that empress."

"But there are differences between monarchs and ministers, and there are always some concerns about whether men and women can be intimate with each other." Seeing Shen Haolin nod, Shen Cha sighed, "Father is injured?"

"No." Shen Haolin shook his head gently, "That empress's goal is only the late emperor. No matter whether her father, Master Huilan, or the guards are blocking her, they can't stop her. She will not be willing to fight, and she will only go to the late emperor. He used his last bit of strength to stab the late Emperor."

"Strengthening works wonders. Even my father and Master Huilan didn't stop me." Shen Cha touched his chin, "I'm a little interested in this medicine."

"If you knew what happened to this empress, you wouldn't be interested."

"How's it going?" Shen Cha blinked, "Did you die of exhaustion?"

"Clever!" Shen Haolin nodded, "After stabbing the late emperor, she also fainted because she spent all her strength. However, Master Huilan said that the medicine should have failed, and she fainted after losing her strength, and then ..." He shrugged, "There was no more, and I never woke up again."

"Then, it should be clear who did what to her and how."

"This is natural." Shen Haolin nodded, "After the late Emperor regained consciousness, the first thing he did was to invite the Empress Dowager to go to the Buddhist hall to recite Buddhist scriptures for three months. It was considered a grounding. Doctor Lu did not mix things up this time. He was inside, so I didn't find any reason to do anything to him, and I didn't do anything to him. Although I knew that he and the Empress Dowager were on the same road, after all, I didn't make any mistakes, and I couldn't implicate him because of this."

"Well, I do know about the Empress Dowager kneeling for three months to menstruate. There is a mention in the archives of Zongzheng Temple that the late Emperor was in poor health and the Empress Dowager prayed for him." Shen Cha curled her lips, " I don’t know whether Dr. Lu made a mistake or not, but I know that the medicine in the hands of the Empress Dowager must have something to do with him. But if the Empress Dowager will use him in the future, she will definitely not expose him so early. from."

"That's right." Shen Haolin nodded, "When the empress dowager's confinement ended, the late emperor's injury also improved, but in the end the root cause of the disease was at work, and his body was declining day by day."

"I understand." Shen Cha thought for a while, "There are actually traces of the Green Lotus Sect behind this case, right?"

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "We can think of it this way. Many of the things our mother left us are more or less related to the Empress Dowager. Does this mean that the Empress Dowager has thousands of connections with the Qinglian Sect? Inextricably linked? Judging from the age of the Empress Dowager, when she was just born and before she entered the palace, it was actually a period when the Green Lotus Sect was relatively popular in Xijing. Is it possible that she was actually a follower of the Green Lotus Sect? ?”

"Brother, we can be more bold. I'm afraid it's not just the believers." Shen Cha looked at the dagger, "The believers have no way to get the formula of that medicine, nor can they get such a large amount of medicinal materials from the Western Regions, let alone He may make the decision to assassinate the late Emperor."

"I understand, you think the Queen Mother should be the leader of the Qinglian Sect in Xijing, right?"

"It's not just Xijing." Shen Cha stood up and paced slowly in the secret room, "Why did the late emperor go to such lengths to annihilate the Qinglian Sect? Why didn't he leave them any way to survive? There's a more important point, why? Does the Green Lotus Sect know all the secrets about the royal family, their relatives, and the Zhongming Dingshi House in Xijing?"

"The Empress Dowager knows, which means the Qinglian Sect knows." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, "I understand. If you put it this way, many things can actually be explained clearly."
