Chapter 636 Suicide in fear of sin
Emperor Zhao's hand holding the sachet gradually tightened following his words, and loosened after a while.

He opened his mouth and said a little tiredly, "Understood, go down, and check again."

"My subordinate understands."

Wu Yongda got up, bowed to Emperor Zhao, gestured to the prince, and strode out.

Ling Yan kept paying attention to the movements of Emperor Zhao's hands, so he asked, "Is there something wrong with this sachet?"

Emperor Zhao nodded, but did not speak directly, but raised his chin, signaling Chang Feng and Xi Zi to go out and guard, "Make sure no one is approaching."

Chang Feng took a look at Ling Yan, and after getting his approval, he obeyed the order.

Emperor Zhao saw it and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Changfeng's master is the crown prince, as it should be.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Emperor Zhao casually threw the sachet to Ling Yan, "Gao Shu found out that the medicinal ingredients in the sachet just collided with the ink in the ink."

He just learned the news, and a fire broke out in the hall of the person who gave the sachet, it was hard not to make people suspicious.

Ling Yan opened the seal and sniffed, "So, Wen Cairen is suspected of committing suicide in fear of crime?"

"Ah."

Emperor Zhao sneered, "If she is burned along with the Liuyun Palace, there will be no proof of her death, it's just..."

He stopped talking suddenly, turned to look inside, the room where he usually sleeps, and said, "Come out."

Ling Yan raised his eyebrows, but he still had guesses in his mind.

It wasn't until seeing Wen Cairen walking out with a pale face cautiously, that he asked, "Father, have you prepared?"

"It's just a coincidence," Emperor Zhao took a deep breath, "After Gao Shu finished speaking, I asked the hidden guards to bring her here. No one knew that she was no longer in Liuyun Palace when the fire started."

Originally, Emperor Zhao just wanted to interrogate her as soon as possible without scaring the snake, but he didn't expect to save her life by mistake.

Wen Cairen had already plopped to his knees, trembling all over, his hands tightly clutching the hem of his skirt.

Ling Yan squeezed the sachet in his hand, "Is this from you?"

"Yes," Wen Cairen's voice was intermittent, like a candle about to go out in the wind, "but I really didn't poison the emperor!"

She gave it to several empresses, filled with different dried petals and incense powder, how could it be poisonous?

She worked so hard to get into Emperor Zhao's eyes, and her natal family has just started to improve, so she definitely wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"But this sachet came from you." Ling Yan got up and handed the sachet back to her, "If it wasn't you, who could it be?"

Ling Yan's voice was quite gentle, but in this situation, it sounded like a reminder.

Wen Cairen's eyes widened and he shook his head in horror, "I don't know, I really don't know... Your Majesty!"

She took the sachet and flipped through it, called out suddenly, then hurriedly walked up to Emperor Zhao, "Your Majesty, look, this sachet has been tampered with, it was not the handiwork of my concubine.

The courtiers and concubines use a special embroidery method when they seal their mouths. It is different from this one that they learned from the embroiderer before entering the palace! "

Although the seal of this sachet is imitated as much as possible, it is still slightly different, as long as you find a good embroiderer in the palace to see it.

Emperor Zhao glanced at it, but he couldn't see it, so he winked at Ling Yan.

Ling Yan immediately asked Chang Feng to go to the Imperial Concubine's Palace, took the sachet from Wen Cairen, and went to find an embroiderer.

"It's... really different."

The embroiderer who was found was an old man in the palace, she had venomous eyes, and it took a while to tell the difference, even Wen Cairen's embroidering techniques were the same.
