"Yue'er, you..."
Emperor Xuanwu held Jiang Xinyue's face, but saw that it was full of pain and fear. She shook her head: "Your Majesty... please let me and Xiaotuanzi leave the palace. I beg you..."
She cried so hard that she almost burst into tears.
People who are too kind will always be afraid when facing such vicious calculations.
Emperor Xuanwu hugged her tightly and kissed her tears again and again: "I will find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and I will eradicate all those who try to separate us."
There was a destructive anger in the man's eyes.
What did he do wrong?
What did Yue'er and Xiaotuanzi do wrong again?
They just love each other, have they violated the laws of heaven?
His Yue'er must always be targeted, framed, and frightened to the point where she doesn't even want to stay in the palace anymore.
So many people wanted to separate them and didn't want to see him happy, so he just wanted to make all those people unhappy.
"so……"
Emperor Xuanwu held Jiang Xinyue's face, wiped her tears away with distress, and said with red eyes: "Yue'er, stop talking about leaving the palace, leaving me... I can't live without you and my child."
As soon as he thought that Yue'er and the Sixth Prince would never be in the palace again, his heart felt so empty that he couldn't even feel the pain.
He couldn't... absolutely couldn't lose their mother and son.
Jiang Xinyue's crying gradually stopped amidst his comforting voice and turned into sobs: "I am... I am really scared."
Living in Xihe Palace, people died in Xihe Palace, and living in Hexi Palace, and people died in Hexi Palace. How can a weak woman not be afraid of the vicious people in this harem?
Emperor Xuanwu came in with Jiang Xinyue who was leaning on him. When entering the flower hall, Jiang Xinyue had already arranged her clothes and hairstyle, wiped away her tears, and followed the emperor, looking cold and dignified like a beloved concubine.
"these people……"
Four eunuchs and one palace maid were all tied up and kneeling in the middle of the hall.
Jiang Chuan stepped forward, pointed at them and said: "Your Majesty, these two eunuchs are the handy eunuchs of Hexi Palace. After Nanny Cheng was burned to death, they passed on the news and were caught by the slaves and others. Those two One is Xiao Qianzi from the Queen Mother's Palace, and the other is Xiao Yinzi from Concubine Rong's Palace. They are waiting for the news to come out from Hexi Palace. This maid... This maid is very tough-talking and refuses to say who she is. From the palace."
"Your Majesty, the slaves have been wronged!"
Xiao Qianzi kept kowtowing: "This servant came to deliver things to Concubine Rong according to the order of the Queen Mother. I met Xiao Yinzi on the way, so I went with him. The servants came here when they saw the fire. Yes, you really don’t want to find out about Hexi Palace!”
Xiao Yinzi also nodded desperately: "This slave is wronged..."
As for the palace maid, she didn't seem to expect that she would be caught. She didn't even think about her words, and just stared at Jiang Xinyue angrily with her eyes.
"Tang Shiliang, remove her jaw."
"Crack!"
There was determination in the maid's eyes. Before she could bite the poison hidden in her mouth, Tang Shiliang stepped forward and removed her jaw.
She screamed in pain, and the small pill hidden in the tip of her teeth rolled to the ground.
Imperial Physician Yan picked it up, peeled off the coat of the pill, and shook his head at the concerned emperor: "It is made from arsenic and oleander, which are very common in the palace."
There were many oleanders planted in the royal garden of the palace, but few concubines knew that oleanders were poisonous.
Eating it can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, slow heartbeat, and even death.
Coupled with a little arsenic to enhance the toxicity, it would be difficult not to die.
Emperor Xuanwu tightened his fingers: "Send the person to the Xuanjing Department and tell the director of the Xuanjing Department that if you don't get any useful information from her, go and receive the punishment yourself."
The Queen Mother and the eunuchs in Concubine Rong's palace spoke the same words, and even Xiao Qianzi carried a food box in his hand.
Magpie opened it and took a look. They were all famous pastries and snacks in Jiangnan.
If they didn't lie, then they would start with the two handy eunuchs in Hexi Palace.
"Slave... I don't know who the message was passed to. I have never seen it... Every time, I put the message outside the back door, under the flower pot at the base of the wall. After the slave leaves, someone will naturally pick it up. . But your Majesty... this servant has only spread a few messages, and has not done anything to harm your Majesty or the Sixth Prince. I beg your Majesty, please spare this servant."
Another little eunuch shivered, stammered, and couldn't speak clearly: "Slave...slave...slave...and...situation...that's about the same...situation as him. I'm sending...sending news, yes." For...for money, they gave...a lot of money. My Majesty, your Majesty spared the slave, and the slave never dared to do it again."
"Wang Dequan, go to Concubine Rong's Palace and the Queen Mother and ask them to take him back."
As for how to go back, Jiang Xinyue has the final say.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Another eunuch ran in from outside: "Your Majesty, Yanxi Palace... Li Guiji of Yanxi Palace committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
"What?"
Emperor Xuanwu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the eunuch who reported the news with his eyes widened. Finally, he clenched his hands behind his back, and the surging emotions in his eyes finally calmed down: "Is the person dead?"
The eunuch lowered his head, feeling inexplicably scared: "When he was... discovered by someone, he had already died."
Li Guiji...how could she commit suicide?
"This is a letter found in Li Guiji's palace."
The eunuch didn't dare to delay and handed over a thick stack of letter paper with both hands.
There were traces of tears staining the words on those letters, and every word was cursing Emperor Xuanwu and Jiang Xinyue.
His words were so vicious that even if he didn't commit suicide, if someone discovered these letters, he would be dead.
After a while, another palace official ran in: "Your Majesty, we found some things from Yanxi Palace. Please take a look at them."
Arsenic, oleander, phosphorus powder, cotton wool...
All the evidence points to Li Guiji, who planned all this.
After the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong rushed to Hexi Palace, they were informed that the Emperor and Concubine Xian had gone to Yanxi Palace, so they rushed to Yanxi Palace again.
Even if the emperor's biological mother, the Queen Mother, is found guilty of murdering the emperor's heir, she may not be able to escape death.
She couldn't blame her and didn't dare to delay in this matter.
It was already midnight, and the Queen and Concubine De arrived belatedly after receiving the news. In the main hall of Yanxi Palace, there was the body of Li Guiji dressed in gorgeous clothes and beautiful makeup.
She seemed ready to die and dressed herself up to be extraordinarily beautiful.
When her palace maid Xia He saw Jiang Xinyue, she rushed over like crazy. After being stopped by the guards, she yelled: "Jiang Xinyue, you bitch, you killed my master!"
