I just looked around and found that the person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without any trace.
Pei Zhi sat on the horse, his face getting darker and darker.
This man wanted to deal with himself, so he used this trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain and lead him to the palace. The little girl was once again implicated by him.
Shen Zhao and Shuang Ning felt the cold breath coming from their master, their expressions were solemn and they did not dare to say anything.
The entire surrounding area was searched, and servants came to report, but there was still no trace.
Pei Zhi's face was gloomy, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a bit, and he smiled angrily.
Okay, very good.
When the two of them saw their master's appearance, they knew that his master was really angry.
Pei Zhi said: "Go and check carefully who is coming to the banquet, and who is in charge of the queen's food?"
Everyone else is fine, but there is a problem with the Queen's share. The Queen's food and drinks are all sent from the palace, so it should be impossible to poison in front of everyone.
The only possibility is that someone tampered with it during the production process or on the way to it.
Taking the omen and receiving the order, he immediately asked someone to bring him over.
He had been with his master for so long, and he knew his master's style well, so he detained him early.
There are many cooks in the imperial dining room, but the emperor's diet has always been supervised by someone special.
In his early years, Emperor Xiaojing was manipulated in this regard, so he was particularly careful about his diet.
There has never been anything wrong with this matter in these years, but tonight, in front of everyone's eyes, the Queen was poisoned like this.
The man's hand behind him was stretched too far.
No wonder the emperor was furious.
The two old ladies and a little maid were detained. The two old ladies had obviously been punished and looked very weak.
Shuang Ning stepped forward: "Master, these two old ladies have already been punished, and nothing happened."
After Pei Zhi heard this, his eyes fell on the little maid beside him.
"What about her?"
Although the little maid looked embarrassed, she was completely different from the two old ladies. There was no trace of injury on her body.
The color of the frost is a bit unsightly, and I hesitate.
Pei Zhi's eyes were cold: "Say."
Shuang Ning then spoke: "She is the person that His Highness is interested in. When he wanted to attack her tonight, His Highness heard the news and came over and tried his best to protect her."
How dare Shuang Ning and the others disobey His Highness the Crown Prince? However, the master was afraid that it would not be easy to explain, so he could only detain them for the time being.
After hearing this, the little maid on the ground looked a little stubborn.
I am a member of His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness has said that he will let me enter the East Palace and be a concubine in the future.
"I didn't do this. If you know what I'm doing, please let me go immediately, otherwise His Highness won't be able to spare you."
When Pei Zhi heard this, he got off his horse and dressed in black robe.
Seeing this look, Shen Zhao knew that the little maid in front of him was probably going to suffer.
The little maid's name is Baozhu. She is specially responsible for delivering meals to the Queen. She is good-looking and has an outstanding appearance.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a frequent visitor to the Queen's Palace. The relationship between mother and son was very good. As they went back and forth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw her more often and became interested in her.
The two people got together now.
The Queen turned a blind eye to these things, and the Prince's visits to the palace became more and more frequent.
Pei Zhi chuckled. Baozhu was a little scared when he saw this, but remembering His Highness the Crown Prince's love for him, he straightened his back.
He still refused to give up: "I'm telling you, in the future I want to work in the East Palace..."
Before she could say anything, Pei Zhi grabbed her collar.
It's rare for Pei Zhi to have such a method. He has always been clean and elegant. How could he behave like this under normal circumstances?
There was a hint of scarlet in his eyes, and his tone was dismissive.
"Who do you think you are?"
Baozhu was still thinking in his mind that the man in front of him didn't dare to do anything to him. No matter what, he had His Royal Highness standing behind him, so he would be more or less generous.
But she didn't expect that the person in front of her would directly humiliate her like this in front of everyone.
After pulling the person up, Pei Zhi loosened the person's collar, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and wiped his fingertips carefully.
"Take him down here and let me investigate him carefully. If the Crown Prince comes to look for you, let him come to me."
Pei Zhi was originally dismissive of Zhang Yang. He was working for His Majesty, not His Royal Highness.
His Highness the Crown Prince does not yet have the ability to drive him.
Baozhu panicked after hearing this.
"Which of you dares? I belong to His Highness the Crown Prince. If you do this, His Highness will not let you go."
Pei Zhi looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Everyone in the world is not the king. His Majesty requested a thorough investigation of this matter. The one who is injured now is the Queen."
There was a bit of sarcasm on his face: "Or is it that His Highness the Crown Prince can now go beyond His Majesty's will?"
Baozhu was blocked by these words and didn't know what to say.
Pei Zhi stopped looking at her and got on his horse again: "Bring this person down yet."
After hearing this, the people below hurriedly took the person down.
Baozhu was so stupefied by these words that he didn't dare to say anything else.
Black waves surged in Pei Zhi's eyes, and finally fell silent.
In the palace.
The queen finally woke up and saw the emperor half-leaning in front of her bed. Judging from his appearance, he must have been guarding her all night.
There was warmth in her heart.
It has been said since ancient times that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and accompanying him is like accompanying a tiger, but this is not the case at all in her eyes.
The person in front of her was the emperor of the entire Jingming Dynasty and her husband.
She raised her arm slightly, and the sleeping emperor immediately woke up: "Queen, how do you feel?"
After the imperial doctor took the medicine last night, he said that he might wake up the next day, but the emperor didn't trust others to watch him, so he guarded him at the bedside himself.
The queen coughed slightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I feel almost better already."
"What's going on?"
Speaking of this, the emperor frowned slightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an answer tonight."
Since Pei Zhi took care of this matter yesterday, he will give the result no matter what. In this regard, he still knows Pei Zhi's abilities very well.
The emperor's people sent news that Pei Zhi rushed all the way back to the palace after what happened yesterday, but his little sister was missing.
Now I am in a hurry, but I can't find it.
At this moment, the prince suddenly broke in, looking extremely angry.
The people around him were a bit unable to stop him, so the prince rushed in angrily: "Father and Queen, that Pei Zhi has gone too far."
The emperor looked at him calmly: "Tell me why it's too much?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a bit of anger on his face: "He is simply presumptuous. The orb is mine. I have already said that no one will be mean to her, but he dares not to take my words seriously..."
He was very clear about what happened yesterday. Baozhu specially sent him the news. At that time, he reassured her that he would not let anything happen to her.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, I heard the news that Baozhu was taken to the Criminal Division and beaten to death.
Where does this put your face?
The emperor's face was gloomy. From the moment His Highness the Crown Prince spoke those words, the maids and eunuchs beside him had already wisely stepped back.
The prince wanted to say something more, but a slap fell on his face.
The air seemed to be a little quieter.
There was anger in the emperor's tone: "I think you are the one who is presumptuous."
The prince had never been beaten before, and this sudden blow knocked him completely unconscious.
His momentum suddenly weakened: "Father, why do you..."
