Chapter 315
Yun Chong seemed to have expected Shen Lingxi to ask this question, and said without changing his expression: "This raging sun is a medicine, not a poison. It enters the bloodstream from the hair and skin, and is naturally much slower than taking it directly. It is also common to have a late onset of more than a month. Something happened."

Having said this, he paused and then said: "What's more, His Highness's sudden illness today was also caused by the sachet of 'Goose Warm Incense' worn by the imperial concubine. Without this sachet, the tenth prince's illness would have The effects of the medicine won’t take effect so quickly.”

When Concubine Zhao heard this, she immediately stopped sobbing.

As if she thought of something, she raised her head suddenly and looked at Shen Lingxi, "Okay! You and Li Yuejiao are already good friends. Today, one is giving medicine and the other is using incense. This is to make Juro die here! Princess, you are so cruel Xinxin, now that you have helped the prince win the title of heir apparent, you are still uneasy and insist on killing Juro?"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Zhao lamented sadly: "You must make the decision for Juro and my concubine!"

Concubine Yue has a personal relationship with the Crown Princess, and this matter is not a secret in the palace.

Shen Lingxi will not deliberately alienate people who are kind to her because she is worried about making her angry.

What's more, the emperor also knew that Shen Lingxi not only saved Li Yuejiao but also helped her clear up her grievances when she was in Yongtai Palace.

"If it was really me who drugged Juro, I would not be so stupid as to let him poison himself under the eyes of the emperor. Wouldn't this be giving the handle to the noble concubine, don't you think?" Shen Lingxi said with a half-smile.

"It's not because of this sachet. I haven't used it since it was sent to Furong Hall from the Chamberlain. Today, I wore this sachet specially to see the emperor. If not, how could I have harmed Juro... "

Concubine Zhao said, hugging the tenth prince and crying bitterly, "My poor prince, you should not die today. In front of the emperor, the poison in your body accidentally broke out, and Prince Rui came with a miracle doctor to save you." Diagnosis and treatment, otherwise, if the attack occurs in your mother's Furong Palace, which is comparable to a cold palace, there will really be no cure and she will die! By then, your mother will also die because of this... They are so cruel, they are really good Cruel heart!"

When Concubine Zhao cried like this, the tenth prince also burst into tears again because of her cry.

The mother and son looked as pitiful as they could be.

The emperor's face had become extremely gloomy.

He had already preconceived the idea that Shen Lingxi would eradicate dissidents for his own selfish interests.

It is a fact that the tenth prince was poisoned.

And it is also true that the medicine came from Shen Lingxi's Tassel.

Since it is a fact, what else is there to investigate?
"Come here, give me the Crown Princess..."

"Your Majesty." Chu Yan took a step forward and stood in front of Shen Lingxi, "Someone framed the Crown Princess. Please don't listen to what the traitor says."

If he had said, "Please let the Emperor investigate clearly," or "There are still doubts about this case, please hand it over to the Xiu Yi Envoy for a thorough investigation," the Emperor would not think anything of it.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was sure that Shen Lingxi had been "unjustly accused", and such unprincipled protection made the emperor feel deeply unhappy.

Today, Rokuro can disobey him in public for the sake of this princess, but will he let her dominate in the future?
The emperor had not thought of this before when Chu Yan begged Shen Lingxi to serve as the inspector of embroidered clothes.

But now, it was about his biological son's life.

The emperor had to think more.

"Liu Lang." The emperor's solemn tone contained a warning, "The evidence on this matter is conclusive. Don't get carried away."

This was the first time that the emperor spoke to Chu Yan in such a tone, and in front of so many people.

Anyone who was familiar with the emperor's temperament could tell that the emperor was already angry and had murderous intentions towards Shen Lingxi.

But Chu Yan still refused to give in, "I guarantee with my head that the Crown Princess is not the one who drugged me."

When these words are spoken, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

The emperor glared at Chu Yan angrily. There was a tense situation between the uncle and nephew. The emperor's anger was about to explode.Yun Chong looked at the two of them, and there were countless voices in his heart shouting with excitement: Kill him, kill him, kill him.

Concubine Zhao also half-buried her face in the Tenth Prince's shoulder, her lips curling up in a proud smile.

Prince Rui clutched the armrests of the wooden wheelchair tightly and looked at Chu Yan with eyes full of pain and disappointment.

Shen Lingxi took in all their expressions, estimated that the heat was enough, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yun just kept saying that the tassels were dyed with the powder of 'Fire Sun', so the tenth prince was struck." The medicine on the tassel is not 'Fire Yang'? Does it mean that my daughter-in-law was wrongly accused?"

After the words fell, the emperor and Chu Yan looked at Shen Lingxi.

Yun Chong seemed to realize something, and his face darkened.

Prince Rui also turned his head in surprise and looked at Shen Lingxi.

But Concubine Zhao's eyes quickly flashed with panic.

"What do you mean?" asked the emperor.

Shen Lingxi walked to the wooden basin, squatted down, and was about to reach into the wooden basin and take out the tassels in the water——

Yun Chong spoke from the side, "The blazing sun melts when it meets the water, and the water is highly poisonous. Is the Crown Princess planning to commit suicide? Do you want to die without proof?"

Shen Lingxi glanced at him and smiled.

Without a moment's hesitation, she reached into the water and took out the green tassel.

"Master Yun is right. If there is a strong sun in the water, it will be extremely poisonous. Then take a closer look to see if I will be poisoned." She said lightly.

Yun Chong looked at her white hands and saw nothing strange, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

Shen Lingxi directly turned over the tassel. At the head of the tassel, there was a round head as big as a fingertip, and inside the turned round head, there was a small piece of red stuff.

Shen Lingxi took the thing out of the round head, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, a flash of realization flashed in her eyes.

She took a white porcelain cup from the table nearby and threw the thing into the cup.

"Master Yun, do you dare to pour your medicinal powder into this cup?"

Yun Chong secretly hated that he had to do it even if he didn't dare in front of so many people.

He calmly poured the powder in his hand into the porcelain cup.

Shen Lingxi walked up to the emperor, raised the cup and poured water into it.

Almost instantly, the thing floated into a ball of brownish red in the water, which looked exactly like it did in the wooden basin just now.

"This is jujube wood." Shen Lingxi explained, "The medicinal powder in Mr. Yun's hand comes from the Medicine Palace. The reason why it can detect the 'colorless and tasteless' blazing sun is because this medicinal powder can stimulate the growth of plants in the water." The medicinal properties make it return to its original color. The jujube wood itself can be used as a dye, and when exposed to this medicinal powder, it will naturally produce a dark red color."

At this point, she paused, "Not only jujube, but also plants that can dye red such as safflower, dongqing, hematoxylin, knotweed, and pear. When they meet the medicinal powder on Mr. Yun's hand in the water, they can all induce the color red." Red, Your Majesty, do you want everyone to find it and try it?"

At this point, no matter how slow the emperor was, he finally realized that he had been instigated by others.

The emperor was already prejudiced against Yun Chong, but now he realized that Yun Chong was fooling him, and he immediately became furious, "Come here, take this thief who dares to instigate trouble and kill him!"
