Chapter 97
Xuan Yinruo's two sleeves were lifted up, revealing the white and tender lotus root. If you look closely, you can still see tiny pinholes on it.

Chang Mei bent slightly: "My lord, the Princess...is poisoned."

A trace of killing intent flashed across Gu Chengyuan's eyes, but his tone was very calm, more like the calm before the storm: "What's the poison?"

"Luo Die." Chang Mei frowned tightly, "This subordinate has temporarily suppressed the poison in the county main body with the method of fumigation and injection, but the most urgent thing is to get the antidote as soon as possible, not to mention the cost if it is prepared privately." I'm afraid the Princess will not be able to wait for that time."

Seeing Gu Chengyuan's complexion getting worse and worse, Chang Mei hurriedly said again: "This kind of poison is not easy to find. There are no regular pharmacies in Lanzhou City. They must be obtained from special channels."

"In addition, this poison is particularly harmful to women's bodies, and it is more likely to be caused by long-term poisoning. My lord, if you want to investigate, you can search the entire palace from Huaqing Palace, and ask people who have been in contact with the princess in the past few days to find anything abnormal. .”

Gu Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Xiao Yangzi who was standing by the door: "Where has the princess been in the past few nights?"

Xiao Yangzi scratched his head, and responded respectfully: "My lord, the princess just went to the Weining Hall and the Hanxiang Hall, or just strolled around the Imperial Garden. Suspicious person."

Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he looked sideways at Chang Mei: "Jing Shi is not in the palace, you are considered the head of the imperial hospital now, you will stay here for a few days, and take care of the princess. If something happens again matter, see you soon!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Chengyuan instructed Xiao Ling again: "Go and bring all the people who have come into contact with the princess to Huaqing Palace in the past two days, and I will personally interrogate them."

Xiao Ling was already mentally prepared, and replied seriously: "Yes."

Gu Chengyuan's order is not a big one, the flow of people in the imperial garden is not small, the number of concubines, palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the guards patrolling the palace, etc. is already not a small number...

In the end, when Gu Chengyuan arrived, the main hall of Huaqing Palace was already full of people kneeling, most of them were whispering in low voices. The moment they saw Gu Chengyuan enter the door, they all knelt up straight, and after saluting, they were silent again.

Before that, they also asked the eunuch in charge of Huaqing Palace, but they didn't get much useful information. They probably knew that something happened to Princess Yong'an.

But the princess got a strange disease, they couldn't see anyone during the day, and they only occasionally met in the imperial garden at night, and there was no communication at all. Something happened to the princess... what does it matter to them?
A group of people slandered, but no one dared to stand up and question Gu Chengyuan face to face.

After Gu Chengyuan arrived at the hall, he was not in a hurry to interrogate, and sat in the main seat with his eyes closed to rest his mind, but the more this happened, the more panicked the people below.at a loss.

The only two of them knew what was going on, and only Rong Wan'er, who was standing on one side because of her pregnancy, and Yu Weixue, who was kneeling in the front row, had bowed their heads and said nothing since entering the hall. It's just because they know that the protagonist of today's round has not yet arrived.

Not long after, Xiao Ling came in from outside the hall, bypassed the crowd and stood in front of Gu Chengyuan: "My lord, Concubine Rou said that she is unwell and should not go out."

Gu Chengyuan opened his eyes, a cold light appeared, and his tone was light: "Commander Shao, take two forbidden soldiers to Lianyun Palace and bring Concubine Rou."

The execution ability of the imperial army was really fast, I don't know what kind of skill Shao Yun used, Yu Xinrou was pushed and shoved to Huaqing Palace, but the expression on his face was really ugly.

She was punished last night and her salary was fined. It has been spread in the palace for a long time, and now she is escorted here like a duck on the shelf. Her face as a concubine may have been lost long ago.

Fortunately, she saved her hand and asked Cailian to invite Gu Sinian before she left. She only hoped that Gu Sinian would come over soon so that she could maintain a little face.

But when Yu Xinrou saw the crowd in the hall, she was stunned, what happened, so many people came?
I'm afraid...that woman is dead?
A gleam of joy suddenly crossed Yu Xinrou's heart. Now for her, whether she can get Gu Chengyuan is not that important.

But even so, she would never allow that woman to get him, her existence was like laughing at her humble stupidity all the time.

Intense hatred flashed in Yu Xinrou's eyes, and when she raised her head again, she regained her composure. After rolling up her sleeves, Yu Xinrou walked up to Gu Chengyuan with a calm demeanor, and gently lowered herself down: "The lord called my concubine to come over. Is there a problem?"

Gu Chengyuan didn't even raise his head, turning a deaf ear to Yu Xinrou's question.

Yu Xinrou's face froze, and she could feel the mocking eyes behind her. She moistened her lips and had no choice but to stand aside.

Gu Chengyuan still had no intention of opening his mouth, and everyone in the crowd was terrified, guessing who else hadn't arrived, it couldn't be... the emperor.

Everyone thought this way, and the announcement of "the emperor has arrived" really came from the gate of the palace, and everyone in the audience was shocked. This regent...does it mean that even the emperor doubts it?
Gu Sinian came straight to Gu Chengyuan, nodded briefly to him, and then sat beside him: "But what...what happened? The seventeenth emperor...why is the emperor's uncle so happy...to mobilize the crowd?"

It was only then that Gu Chengyuan made a slight move, his eyes swept across the people in the palace, and his tone was cold: "There is someone in the palace who secretly hides poison and intends to harm the princess, if someone informs at this moment, this king can take it lightly. "

Poisoned? !
Everyone was in an uproar, this matter can be big or small, but Gu Chengyuan has already gathered most of the people in the palace here, it is obviously not a trivial matter.

As soon as Gu Chengyuan finished speaking, Xiao Yangzi hurriedly ran from outside the hall, holding a delicate sachet in his hand, handed it to Gu Chengyuan, and whispered in his ear,
"My lord, the imperial physician Chang said that the thing that caused the Princess to be poisoned was probably this sachet. This sachet...was given by Concubine Rong."

Gu Sinian, who was sitting on the side, saw the sachet, his eyes flickered, and when he raised his head, he bumped into Rong Wan'er who was looking over.

When Gu Chengyuan heard the words, he raised his hand and took the sachet, placed it in front of Rong Wan'er, and asked, "Isn't Concubine Rong giving this to Xiao Qi?"

Rong Wan'er trembled, and said in a low voice: "Yes."

"Did you pack the incense pills and herbs in it yourself?"

Gu Chengyuan covered up part of his hostility at this time, but Rong Wan'er was still terrified, and shrugged his shoulders back: "Yes."

Suddenly remembered something, and shook his head violently: "No...it's not."

Seeing this, Gu Sinian gradually tightened the hands hanging in the sleeves, and then raised his head and interjected: "Uncle, Wan'er...she is still pregnant, no...don't scare her too much."
