cold palace escape concubine

Chapter 192: Layer-by-Layer Calculations

Facing Sikong Qimo's annoyance, Jun Liuyi just calmly smiled back.

"I have always known about the battles in the harem, but it took a lot of pains to keep the poisonous snakes active in winter." A long sigh came out between breaths, and Jun Liuyi looked around, "If there is anything unusual In this warm pavilion, only this lotus blooms in winter."

Jun Liuyi turned to the lotus placed behind her, suspicion gradually appeared in her eyes.

"This lotus was obviously picked from the imperial garden, and I checked the buds just in case, and there is really nothing wrong." She frowned, "Chunliu, you put Bring the lotus to me."

Sikong Qimo looked at the lotus with a gloomy expression.

The lotus in winter is always strange. Just now, Liu Yi also said that he had inspected it before it bloomed a while ago, and there were no poisonous snakes in those days.

What now?
The lotus blooms, and all the poisonous snakes come out!

With doubts in his heart, Sikong Qimo waited for Jun Liuyi's judgment.

Jun Liuyi took the lotus that Chunliu handed over, smelled it carefully, and then widened her eyes: "It's actually poisonous!"

"Take it down." Sikong Qi Mo raised his eyebrows and ordered in a low voice.

At this moment, Jun Liuyi's face was solemn, and Liu Mei frowned tightly without saying a word.

After staring at the snake on the ground, she finally understood: "Although it is said that the mountain snake will attack people actively, it is really incomprehensible to come out in this cold weather. The person who poisoned me really took great pains."

"What do you suspect?" Sikong Qimo's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"It's normal for mountain snakes to actively attack people, but they also have a habit of protecting eggs." Jun Liuyi said angrily, "There is no abnormality in this lotus flower~bud, because there is no problem, so I want Xia He They moved the lotus to the Nuan Pavilion for ornamental cultivation. Unexpectedly, when the lotus is in full bloom, it is fatal, does the emperor know what is in the lotus after it blooms?"

"Pharmaceuticals to attract poisonous snakes?"

"It's just that the poison is not enough to make the hibernating Wanshan snake come and go so desperately." Jun Liuyi sneered, "These pollen should contain poisonous snake eggs and poison. The poison is ripened in the flower~bud, and those who are interested will naturally It was at this time that something was done to the snake cave. I guess the hibernating poisonous snake must have been moved to my Lotus Cloud Palace."

"My body is afraid of the cold while recovering. The temperature in the Lianyun Hall is often maintained. Every day, palace people melt the ice with hot water, and the Nuan Pavilion even burns good charcoal to keep warm. This hibernating poisonous snake only needs a little opportunity to recover. Wake up, and when you find that the snake eggs are not there, you will naturally find them." As she analyzed the situation, her eyes became colder and sharper.

"People like this are really vicious." Sikong Qimo slapped the table angrily, and at this moment, several larger poisonous snakes also rushed in, and the palace maid who took the lotus for Chunliu became The target of the attack, several poisonous snakes bit her, and the venom was too heavy, so she died on the spot.

The queen rushed over with her people and saw this scene, and she turned pale in an instant.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and others hurriedly dealt with the Lotus Cloud Palace, and Jun Liuyi and the others were escorted out of the Lotus Cloud Palace.

In the imperial study room, Jun Liuyi waited for the news in an unusually silent manner, the queen and the emperor sat there without opening their mouths.

The air pressure in the house is very low, but the waiters have a feeling and fear that the mountain is about to come and the wind is overwhelming the building.

The House of Internal Affairs was extremely busy up and down but did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Knowing that the emperor was furious, he hurriedly investigated and dealt with the source.

Soon, the people in charge of the imperial hospital and the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to the imperial study to report.

"My Majesty, I have inspected the Lotus Cloud Palace, and indeed only the poisonous powder and snake eggs on the lotus caused the restless attack of the mountain king snake." , it should be that the snake king's eggs are missing, so this snake king will attract so many poisonous snakes."

"The lotus planted by Concubine Lotus has also been checked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is not the lotus planted in the imperial garden." The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also continued, analyzing the soil of the lotus one by one, and also told all the words of the gardener.

How to delay the flowering period and whether the pollen can be hidden in the poisonous powder without being detected have been answered one by one.

Even the snake caves around the Lianyun Hall have been inspected, and both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Hospital have given Sikong Qimo a consistent answer-man-made plan!
"I know everything, let's back down." Sikong Qi Moming didn't have much emotional change on his face, but the aura around him made people retreat unconsciously.

The queen was sitting at the side but didn't know what to say, but Jun Liuyi spoke first.

"How does the emperor plan to deal with Concubine Huan?"

She didn't hide any emotions, and she didn't hide the killing intent in her eyes.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Jun Liuyi continued to ask: "The revenge of killing my son and the fact that I have such thoughts and schemes against me, didn't the emperor think about giving his concubines a fair explanation?"

"Concubine Lian!" The queen scolded, expressing disapproval of her disrespectful behavior.

"Does the empress also think that this palace deserves to die?" Jun Liuyi asked with a stubborn face, not being scolded by her.

Knowing that the emperor was not easy to speak, Mu Xiyuan decisively chose to help the emperor: "The matter of Concubine Huan still needs to be verified, let alone disposing of a concubine will affect the whole body."

"So the concubine deserves to be unlucky?" Jun Liuyi asked with a sneer, "If the concubine died in the Lianyun Palace today, can I only blame myself for being powerless and not having a prominent family to support my life?"

Jun Liuyi asked loudly, but the grief and indignation on his face was gradually replaced by a sneer following the emperor's silence.

"The emperor broke in regardless of your own safety because he was worried about you. Can't Concubine Lian see this?" The queen looked at Jun Liuyi in disapproval and shook her head: "You have also seen the danger of the situation. Do you still doubt the emperor's thoughts at this moment? The emperor cares so much about you, will he treat your life like nothing?"

"Really?" She looked at the queen and smiled, "It's not that the concubine is ignorant of good and evil, and it's not that he doesn't know the emperor's care. It's just that the emperor tends to be reckless in times of crisis, but he is more likely to be rational and ruthless in matters of family and country."

Jun Liuyi's ridicule made the queen and Sikong Qimo frowned at the same time, but such venomous words were not the end.

"Liu Yi understands in her heart that if she unfortunately dies in it today, the emperor may just feel sorry for me. People cannot be resurrected after death, and the overall situation of the country should be weighed and considered. Does the emperor think it is right?"

Mu Xiyuan was about to scold her when she heard that her words were getting worse and worse.

Sikong Qimo was silent for a long time and finally said: "Queen, you step back first."
