A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 408
"Really?" The emperor looked at Xiao Jieyu coldly, and there was no more love in his eyes.

Xiao Jieyu and Xiao Qian had no feelings, they repeatedly made things difficult for Xiao Qian, and tried every means to get King Zhenbei and Xiao Gang out. The emperor knew this better than anyone else.

Moreover, Xiao Jieyu had been a noble concubine for more than ten years, although she was not smart enough, she had placed a lot of people in the palace during such a long time.

Even if the harem is now assisted by the third concubine, it is still possible for Xiao Jieyu to sneak someone in.

Xiao Jieyu gave birth to two princes, it doesn't matter if she is convicted or not, but what about the two princes?She didn't think about the child at all, but only for the sake of a King Zhenbei who almost betrayed Dayu, so confused, how can she be worthy of the position of a palace master?
Looking at the cold gaze in the emperor's eyes, Xiao Jieyu felt chills all over her body. Fortunately, everything is speculation now, and there is no solid evidence yet, so she denied it in every possible way, but she refused to admit it, crying: "Chenqie I am wronged, my concubine has absolutely no intention of harming others, my concubine is wronged—”

Seeing that it was almost midnight, even if there were clues, it would be impossible to convict today. The emperor was angry and could only order: "Come here, send Jieyu back to Jinlan Palace, close the gate of the palace, and ask the House of Internal Affairs to assist Dali Temple." Thoroughly investigate this matter. Concubine De, how to reward and appease Yun Xixi, you can figure it out! Xiao Aiqing, send the envoy from the Northern Kingdom back to Siyi Hall. The rest of you, please leave!"

The emperor waved his hand weakly, and everyone could only retreat helplessly.

Xiao Qian escorted Changning out of the palace first, then turned his horse's head and caught up with Yelu Qingcang and the others.

In the darkness of night, he made a clasping salute with his right hand and left hand at the other party from a distance, and said provocatively: "King Zuo Xian, Xiao has written down what happened today."

"Hehe—" Although he failed to fulfill his wish, Yelu Qingcang replied in a relaxed mood, "Although we are spectators, it is difficult to forget such a rare event! Miss is also considered a beauty, after all this incident was not what she wanted, Mr Xiao, please don't just abandon her."

"You don't need to take care of the family affairs of the master!"

Xiao Qian snorted through his nostrils, and said with a tear in his face, "Yelu Qingcang, I warn you that if you play with fire, you will burn yourself. It won't be long before you will regret what happened today!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head directly, completely ignoring the emperor's order to send him back to Siyi Pavilion, and beat the horse and left.

"Simply arrogant!" Seeing him like this, Yelu Xiaoran couldn't help but say.

"It's a pity that today's success fell short!" At this moment, Yelu Qingcang's eyes were filled with deep gloom, and when he thought of Qin Changning's affectionate appearance when he returned to Xiao Qian's side intact to drink and eat with him, his heart ached with anger.

How did Qin Changning escape from birth?Yelu Qingcang also couldn't figure it out at the moment.

They actually designed three sets of plans, the first set of plans was through Xiao Jieyu's placement of people, and the second set of plans was to let Yun Xixi do it herself.At the same time, if the first two plans fail, it will hurt Yun Xixi's third plan of framing Qin Changning.

However, Yun Xixi was injured, and Qin Changning had an alibi. What's going on?It stands to reason that Yun Xixi would not have returned to the banquet alone if she hadn't succeeded before.

Could it be that Qin Changning didn't go to the side hall to change at all?
That's not right. The people sent today have seen Qin Changning's portrait. If they knew that Qin Changning was not present, they would not be able to attack Yun Xixi. They should stop their actions immediately. Why did he insist on hurting Yun Xixi again? Woolen cloth?
Yelu Qingcang couldn't figure it out, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.

At this time Xiao Qian had already become suspicious of them, and would definitely investigate them wantonly, they could only stand still and quietly avoid the limelight.

Imperial City, inside Changyang Palace.

Yun Xixi drank the sleeping pills prescribed by the imperial physician, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Concubine De stood in front of the bed and sighed a few times, then called Yun Xixi's personal servant girl for interrogation.

"The maidservants are waiting outside the hall, today your lady is going out to change clothes, why are you not here?"

"The maidservant happened to go to the clean room to have a urinate, so I didn't see Miss."

That servant girl knew that something like this happened to her master, and if she failed to serve her well, she would definitely die.She didn't dare to hope that Concubine De would spare her, but she was unwilling to die like this. After replying this sentence tremblingly, she immediately continued: "Mother, in fact, on the eve of entering the palace for the banquet, the young lady had abnormalities. move."

"What do you mean, is it possible that Xixi was threatened by someone before?"

Concubine De always felt that it was strange that Yun Xixi ran out of the hall in a hurry, so she immediately asked: "Hurry up—"

"Someone anonymously sent a very expensive pearl hairpin to Miss, and asked Miss to meet at Puyin Temple. At that time, Miss deliberately dismissed the servant, so the servant did not see the appearance of the man, only knew that it should be a man."

The servant girl simply said everything she knew, and said: "Before entering the palace, the servant girl saw with her own eyes that the young lady hid something in her hairpin, but the young lady was so mysterious that she refused to tell the servant girl at all, and even warned the servant girl Slaves are not allowed to ask questions."

Yun Xixi's behavior is very similar to giving and receiving with someone in private.Could it be that the person Yun Xixi likes is not Xiao Qian?Concubine De was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Where's the pearl hairpin, show me that pearl hairpin!"

Immediately, a court lady brought a plate of jewelry, which was taken off Yun Xixi's body.Seeing this, the servant girl immediately rushed over to pick up a hairpin, and held it in front of Concubine De with both hands.

Concubine De picked up the hairpin and observed it carefully, and found that the hairpin was hollow, and it opened with a slight twist, then she fell down and poured out two thin purple-black needles from the hairpin.There is only a little length, which is as thick as an embroidery needle, but there is no pinhole for threading.

"what is this?"

Seeing that the color was not quite right, Concubine De thought for a while and said: "Go, invite the Imperial Doctor Zhang who is best at distinguishing medicines from the imperial hospital, and see what kind of poison it is?"

Physician Zhang came soon. After seeing the needle, he widened his eyes in doubt, then put the needle in a mortar and ground it carefully, then added water to mix it, and carefully identified the taste and color...

In the end, a thick layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, he put down the mortar in fear, and said in a low voice, "Ruochen's guess is right, this is the well-known insidious hidden weapon Chunshui needle in the world."

"Chunshui needle, what is it used for?" Concubine De had never heard of it.

This thing is specially used by lewd people to deal with women. After piercing into the human body, it will melt when it is stained with blood, and it will take effect in a short time.A woman who has been hit by this needle will soon lose her mind and take the initiative to have sex with a man...

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true! Although I'm not a member of the Jianghu, I have paid attention to this kind of poisonous medicine. This thing is undoubtedly Chunshuizhen."

"how come?"

Concubine De felt dizzy for an instant and almost passed out.

Needless to say, the reason why Yun Xixi was delirious and did a scandal with the villain who broke into the palace was because of this needle.

But this needle was brought by herself, how could it hit her?

Was it an accident, or did she not succeed in plotting to murder others, and instead suffered the bitter fruit herself?
