Chapter 222
Concubine Jia did not expect such a sudden change. According to her plan, this maid should have left the Golden Luan Hall long ago. How could she appear in the Xianya Palace at this moment?

The Queen Mother wanted to protect Zhao Kehan, but now she heard such a secret thing, how could she remain indifferent?
Zhao Kehan ​​immediately said indifferently: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Kehan ​​sent someone to take the maid out of the palace.

But Mrs. Shang will not let her succeed so easily.

I saw Mrs. Shang stepped forward without hesitation to stop the maid in front of Zhao Kehan, and asked loudly: "What's going on? Concubine Jia, this maid must know something. If you didn't do anything wrong matter, let this servant girl tell the truth in every detail!"

How could Zhao Kehan ​​tell her the truth?

Do you want everyone to know that she tampered with the tea, so that Shang Kelan vomited blood and fell into a coma?It's not practical at all!
The Queen Mother looked at her unkindly, but didn't ask her what was going on, presumably she was trying to save face for her.

Now the only option is to retreat!
Zhao Kehan ​​showed innocence without hesitation, looked at Mrs. Shang and said: "Madam Shang may have misunderstood something, this maid is indeed the servant of the Sprinkling Palace in this palace, but she, a maid of the Sprinkling Palace, appeared at this time Here, it is said that the palace poisoned and murdered the concubine Chen, it is very suspicious, isn't it?"

"If I really want to be unfavorable to Concubine Chen, why would I leave such a clue to you?"

As she spoke, she argued again: "Besides, Concubine Chen had an accident just now, and you all saw how the concubine defended her, and the concubine never did anything to offend Concubine Chen!"

Mrs. Shang didn't believe it at all, the harem was intriguing, and Concubine Jia was even at odds with her own daughter, how could she be innocent?
Therefore, she looked at the empress dowager, bowed her knees and saluted: "Please ask the empress dowager to investigate this matter thoroughly, and let this maidservant tell the truth!"

After hearing Zhao Kehan's explanation, the Queen Mother's expression was already moved.

She still believed that Zhao Kehan ​​would not be such a vicious person.

At this moment, Zhao Kehan ​​gave Bai Shao a wink when everyone was not paying attention, Bai Shao immediately understood, and ordered someone to go forward to stop the mouth of the maid, and then quietly took the maid out.

The Empress Dowager only perfunctorily said to Mrs. Shang's request for the truth: "What Concubine Jia said makes sense, besides, the Ai family watched her grow up, so she would definitely not do such a heartless thing, besides Concubine Chen has lived peacefully with her in the palace for a long time, how could she suddenly harm Concubine Chen? Presumably it is because Concubine Chen's own physical illness is onset. "

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Mrs. Shang's face flushed with anger, but she said forcefully: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, there are no waves without wind. Could it be that this matter is groundless? I don't believe it. If the Empress Dowager doesn't investigate clearly today, I will have to report it to Your Majesty in the future. Please investigate this matter thoroughly, Your Majesty!"

The Queen Mother didn't want anyone to mess around, she frowned, and said, "Madam Shang, it's just a trivial matter, why are you making such a fuss? Concubine Chen also said just now that she doesn't want to ruin today's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet because of her own problems. Do you still want to hold on to this matter?"

Mrs. Shang couldn't help but sneer, she wouldn't feel bad if she wasn't her own daughter!
She simply said: "In that case, please ask the Empress Dowager to let the servant girl tell the truth that she knows, so that the court lady can understand what kind of things she wants to use to wrong the Empress Jia, is that okay?"

How could it be possible for someone to tell what Concubine Jia did?
Zhao Kehan ​​curled his lips into a smile, glanced at Bai Shao next to him, Bai Shao took a step forward, and said: "Madam Shang, this servant has just learned that the maidservant in the water-sprinkling palace is not good at thinking, and she always speaks foolish things in gossip. She went down to take her medicine."

Shang Kelin stood aside, taking a panoramic view of this scene.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself: It seems that this concubine Jia is so unscrupulous because of the queen mother's protection.

If this goes on like this, it will be my mother who will suffer.

Mrs. Shang was very angry when Bai Shao interjected, and was about to ask her to bring the maid to explain clearly, Shang Kelin stepped forward to salute, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "Your Majesty, since this is a misunderstanding, the minister and It's meaningless for mother to struggle any longer, please let the Empress Dowager continue to preside over the palace banquet."

As he spoke, he pulled Mrs. Shang back down.

Mrs. Shang was taken away by him, and the two came to a secluded pavilion. Mrs. Shang looked at him in a bad mood and said, "Lin'er, why did you take me away from there suddenly? That Concubine Jia and the Queen Mother must be If you are in collusion, if you want to assassinate Lan'er, we have to help Lan'er get justice!"

Shang Kelin sighed, and persuaded helplessly: "Mother, I know what you're thinking, but you saw it just now, the queen dowager is all for concubine Jia, if you continue to press her like this, the maid will not Will tell the truth."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shang fell silent and her face became ugly.

But Shang Kelin explained: "But the truth of this matter, I believe my sister will find out, and then Concubine Jia will suffer the consequences. She thinks that she has done a perfect job, but in fact there are still flaws. "

Hearing what Shang Kelin said, Mrs. Shang couldn't help but looked at her suspiciously and said, "Really?"

Shang Kelin was about to speak, but Chen Yetan walked over.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Shang restrained her mind and turned her attention to her.

"How is it, Young Master Chen, is Concubine Chen feeling better?"

Facing Mrs. Shang's question of concern, Chen Yetan nodded with a smile, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Auntie, Concubine Chen is fine, and Imperial Physician Li is treating her."

Just now I saw a doctor for Concubine Chen, but I didn't find anything from her.

It seems that it was really just eating something by mistake, which caused the medicine in the body to clash, and he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

Mrs. Shang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said, "It's good that there's nothing wrong, thank you very much, Mr. Chen."

Shang Kelin closed his mouth unknowingly, and just set his eyes on Concubine Jia, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something...

At the same time, the Golden Temple.

After Shang Kelan ordered someone to take down the rogue imperial physician, she asked Zhi Zi to invite imperial physician Li over.

Li Chenxiu showed Shang Kelan a look, but found no signs of poisoning. Then, after checking the things she had just taken, he said, "The tea the concubine Chen drank just now has the same properties as the medicine in your body." Chong, because he drank too much, he vomited blood and passed out so severely."

"Tea?"

Zhi Zi was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Impossible, all the food in the Golden Luan Palace is checked and verified by me personally. Your Majesty also drank this tea before, but there was no accident!"

Shang Kelan frowned slightly, took the tea in the teapot and smelled it, but found that the tea smell was no different from the tea she drank in the past.

Afterwards, she took a look and realized that it was the tea leaves!
