Lin Xie narrowed his eyes coldly and said, "It's not difficult to find out that your Majesty drank pine and cypress wine. This wine has a unique pine and cypress flavor. Your Majesty, please smell the smell on the three notes carefully."
Lan Lin lifted the note and smelled it carefully, then said, "It has the scent of pine and cypress."
Lin Xie nodded, and then said: "I speculate that the person who committed the crime first drank an inch of lovesickness in the pine and cypress wine that His Majesty likes to drink, and then took the opportunity to hide the note in the palace of the three empresses. And he can do this These must be the guards or maids who came with them, and their hands must be stained with the scent of pine and cypress wine, so I have ordered people to arrest all the palace servants who have access to His Majesty and the three concubines. At this moment Just wait in the courtyard to be punished."
Lan Lin sneered, then stood up and said, "Okay, considering your carefulness, Gu Dao wants to see who is brave enough to drug Gu Dao's wine."
In the courtyard, a total of thirty male and female palace attendants gathered, and they all stood at a loss. King Zhui Lan came angrily, followed by Eunuch Lin Xie, the highly respected Pharmacist Chen from the Royal Medicine Department, and A line of guards armed with sharp blades.
It can be said to be menacing and frightening.
Lan Lin sat on the pear wood chair prepared for him in advance, surrounded by guards carrying torches, all with serious expressions and bright eyes.
After Lan Lin took his seat, he did not immediately interrogate him. Instead, he took the fragrant tea offered by the guard and sipped it carefully.
The thirty palace people surrounded in the middle didn't know what happened, and they didn't know what happened? Why are they surrounded here?
Finally, he couldn't help but start whispering:
"What happened? Why did Your Majesty arrest us?"
"do not know?"
At this moment, Lin Xie was observing everyone's reactions with cold eyes. Lan Lin raised his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "Just now someone dared to add medicine to the pine and cypress wine that I was drinking!"
Upon hearing the word "drugged", the thirty palace people were shocked and looked at each other, wondering who the person who had drugged them was. They were really afraid that it would harm Chi Yu, and King Zhuilan would execute them all in a fit of anger.
Lan Lin sneered, then looked at Lin Xie who was calmly observing everyone, and said, "Eunuch Lin, go and find out the guy who drugged Gu!"
Lin Xie nodded and saluted: "Yes - Your Majesty!"
Lin Xie walked forward, and the thirty palace people fell silent. They all looked at him nervously, fearing that he would randomly grab someone to come out to deal with him, and if he was blamed for Chi Yu, he would be in trouble.
Lin Xie said as he walked: "The pine and cypress wine that your Majesty drinks is made from pine and cypress, so it has a unique pine and cypress flavor. This smell is long-lasting and fragrant. Anyone who comes across this kind of wine will definitely have pine and cypress on their hands." I just need to smell it and I can immediately tell who drugged it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone tensed up their nerves. They all followed Lin Xie's instructions and raised their hands. Lin Xie stepped forward to smell them one by one.
Lan Lin sat on the pear blossom chair and continued to drink tea. While lifting and setting down the teacup, his eyes kept scanning around the crowd. Suddenly, he saw a guard standing not far from Lin Xie, and his eyes became a little elegant when he looked at him.
Even such a small movement made Lan Lin alert. As Lin Xie approached, the guard suddenly clenched his fist.
Lan Lin immediately stood up and shouted: "Lin Xie - be careful -"
Unfortunately, Lan Lin's reminder was too late. The guard was carefully selected by Queen Ye Nong, and his martial arts skills were naturally not weak. At this time, he quickly came to Lin Xie's side, pulled out the sword from his waist, and held him hostage.
Lan Lin clenched his fist and said angrily: "Bold maniac, you dared to poison Gu's wine, and you dared to hold the chief eunuch hostage in public! Let him go quickly!"
The guard looked around at the guards who were already drawing their bows and arrows at him. He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I am the one who loves you so much. I just ask your Majesty to let me go. I will definitely go far away from home. I will never miss you." Go back to Chai Lan!"
Lan Lin sneered and said: "Gu is King Zhui Lan, when will he be threatened? What you are holding hostage is just a eunuch in charge, not Gu's concubine. Do you think Gu will negotiate terms with you?"
Lin Xie
At this moment, he cursed in his heart, damn Lan Lin must be secretly revenge on himself.
At this moment, the madman was extremely vicious. He was afraid that he would jump over the wall, but he did not dare to provoke him. Faced with the knife lying on his neck, he could only act cautiously.
Seeing that Lan Lin was not convinced, the guard was unsure for a moment. Just as he was hesitating, Lan Lin had already thrown out the tea lid he had held in his hand. The tea lid hit the guard's head without any bias. .
Lan Lin acted decisively, and the guard was killed on the spot, with blood rolling down his forehead.
One of the palace maids was so frightened that she screamed and then fainted on the spot.
Lin Xie secretly thought that he was in danger, and secretly scolded Lan Lin for being a bastard, which almost killed him.
Lan Lin raised his lips and sneered at him, as if he was provocative. He did it on purpose.
Lin Xie had nothing to do with him. She had known that he was narrow-minded, but she didn't expect that he would immediately avenge him.
In the dead of night, a black figure flashed into the wine cellar of the Hot Spring Villa. The black figure found the pine cypress wine that Lan Lin liked to drink, opened the lid of the large wine jar, and then began to pour a bag of white powder into it.
He said viciously: "You bitch—I'm going to poison you to death! I'm going to poison you to death!"
Suddenly, flames lit up around the wine cellar, and the poisoner turned around suddenly in fright, only to see that in the originally silent wine cellar, people had already been ambushed.
Lan Lin and Lin Xie walked out one after the other.
Lin Xie moved a bench for Lan Lin to sit down. He sat on the bench with great dignity, looked at the palace maid in a pink dress, and said with a smile: "Haha! You bitch? You are so brave. , how dare you call me a piece of shit!"
This palace maid was the one who fainted before. Who would have thought that she would dare to sneak in and poison her now.
She looked at Lan Lin nervously, not knowing how to answer.
Lan Lin sneered again and said: "Before, you only gave me an inch of lovesickness, but now it's better to just poison me, right? You're holding back and want to die alone!"
The palace maid frowned and said, "How do you know that I'm the one who caused you so much love?"
Lin Xie said: "I was held hostage by the guard just now, and I didn't smell the smell of pine cypress wine on his hands, so I boldly guessed that someone else was responsible for the drug. But who is it? I think it has something to do with the guard. Yes. Since the person who administered the drug was not the guard, the guard was trying to convict someone for someone. He thought that as long as he ran out and became a scapegoat, we would not be able to investigate further, but to our surprise, we still discovered the flaw!"
Lan Lin looked at the trembling palace maid with sharp eyes and said coldly: "If I remember correctly, you were standing in front of that guard at that time. He must be your lover. I am afraid that the smell of pine and cypress will be stained on your hands. Lin Xie heard about it, so he jumped out and kidnapped Lin Xie, becoming your scapegoat!"
The palace maid said sternly: "Now that things have happened, I am not afraid to tell you that the guard you killed was indeed my lover. Now I am here to avenge him. I will poison you in the cypress wine you like to drink. I am poisoned, I just hope you can drink that wine, die, and be buried for my lover!"
Lan Lin stood up, put his hands on his hips and said, "You dare to let a king bury your lover. You are so bold and wishful thinking! Let me ask you, who sent you here!"
The palace maid's forehead was slightly lowered, her eyes glared at Lan Lin fiercely, she gritted her teeth and said sternly: "The matter is now over, don't even think about who wants to harm you. I will die today. Once you return to Zhuilan Palace, sooner or later someone will come to replace you." I’ll kill you—hahaha! Ahhahaha!”
After the palace maid finished speaking, she bit the poison pill that had been hidden under her tongue, vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Lin Xie was shocked. He stepped forward and stretched out two fingers to detect the pulse of the palace maid's neck. Then he stood up and reported back to Lan Lin: "Your Majesty, she committed suicide by taking poison and has expired."
Lan Lin frowned. This matter was getting more and more complicated. It seemed that the other party had bad intentions. The words of the palace maid before she died also reminded him that the person who harmed him was in Zhui Lan Palace. This made him feel chills on his back. Suddenly he remembered the assassination by the Queen Mother's people in Yuqian Palace, and he suddenly felt heavy.
He said: "Drag him down and bury him with the guard!"
Lin Xie nodded and said, "Yes!"
Then he ordered the other guards to deal with it. Seeing Lan Lin's frown, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the person who is secretly trying to harm you?"
Lan Lin said: "This person's methods are very powerful and he does everything flawlessly. This matter is extraordinary and should not be taken lightly!"
Lin Xie nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely find out about this matter!"
Lan Lin looked back at Songbaijiu, which had been poisoned by the palace maid, and sighed: "What a pity..."
Lin Xie glanced at the big wine jar, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the name of Pine Wine is written on the wine jar, the wine slave inside has already been transferred to you and is now placed in a safe place. "
Lan Lin turned to look at him and said with a smile, "A safe place?"
"Yes!" Lin Xie nodded.
Lan Lin stretched out his hand and pointed at the tip of his nose and said, "I just ask that there be no more messy medicines in the pine cypress wine I drink in the future. Can you do it, Eunuch Lin!"
Lin Xie's heart tightened, His Majesty was trying to tease himself, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that such a thing will never happen again in the future. I will try all the wine presented to Your Majesty myself beforehand!"
"Ha!" Lan Lin shook his head and said with a smile, "That's the best, and next time, Gu will take your head!"
He was very nervous about Lin Xie taking anything from him, except his head, because he was sure that Lan Lin would never take his head.
Ever since he learned about Chang Ting and Lan Lin, and that Lan Lin had a deep love for him because he looked similar to Chang Ting, he became more and more confident.
Since he was the shadow of his deceased lover, how could he be willing to kill him?
