The queen curled her lips and took out the orange-red gem from the gilded wooden box.

She examined it carefully and said, "This color is gorgeous. I have never seen it before. It will be eye-catching if it is placed in the room."

"It's very beautiful." Concubine Shu and Ying'er looked at each other.

"Which country's tribute is this? Why have I never seen it before?" the queen asked in surprise.

"It's not a tribute, it's something from our Yuan Kingdom." Concubine Shu smiled with relief: "I found it in Lingyu Pavilion in our city."

"Lingyu Pavilion?" the queen repeated.

"Yes." Concubine Shu nodded confidently: "It seems that in recent years, many jewelry items in the palace came from Lingyu Pavilion."

"Is that so?" the Queen drawled.

"Look at this, we've strayed off topic." Concubine Shu bowed to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, please go to bed early. When you feel better, I will come back to chat with you."

"Lan Xi, please help me send Concubine Shu off..."

When Concubine Shu left Yikun Palace.

The queen still held the orange-red gem in her hand.

"My queen, are you saying that the queen really has nothing to do with this matter?" Ying'er asked curiously, "She is really not afraid of being poisoned. She has been holding the poison stone in her hand and looking at it."

Concubine Shu sneered, "I really don't know."

First of all, if you just hold the stone in your hand and look at it, and have little contact with it, you will not be poisoned at all.

If this thing really was her and the eldest prince, they were the ones causing trouble.

It was delivered to her through Madam Xia.

She naturally knew about this stone and would be more careful when picking it up.

But looking at her surprised and delighted look just now, I really couldn't tell.

It is also possible that she has been just acting all along.

Concubine Shu couldn't figure out the clues and decided not to think about it anymore.

Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with the Queen.

In short, it must be related to the eldest prince.

There is no doubt about this.

The most crucial thing now is Lu Zhaolin's participation in the imperial examination.

The imperial edict was quickly delivered to the General's Mansion.

Lu Zhaolin was the first one who did not believe it. He took the imperial edict and read it over and over again.

"General, this is indeed the order of the Emperor, allowing Young Master Lu to take part in the imperial examination at this time. Could it be possible that this old servant could forge an imperial decree?" Xiao Dezi couldn't help but click his tongue.

"You misunderstood, sir. That's not what I meant." Lu Zhaolin rolled up the imperial edict with some embarrassment. "I just didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly show mercy."

Actually this matter.

Lu Zhaofeng also went to ask Emperor Yuanwu for help.

The imperial examination was held every three years.

If you can't attend this time, you will have to wait another three years.

Princess Chang'an is now dead.

Those who knew about this incident at the time have probably been dealt with long ago.

Lu Zhaolin was unwilling to mention this matter.

This stain is destined to follow him for the rest of his life.

When I think about this.

Lu Zhaofeng felt as if someone was strangling his throat and he couldn't breathe.

"The emperor issued the imperial edict in Qiluan Garden." Xiao Dezi said mysteriously.

Lu Zhaofeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Thank you for your advice, eunuch."

He winked at the maid.

Xiao Dezi weighed the money bag handed to him by the maid, his mouth almost cracked to the back of his teeth: "This old servant is here to wish Mr. Lu a successful admission to the imperial examination."

"Thank you for your kind words, eunuch." Lu Zhaolin bowed.

"When Master Lu gets a high position, please don't forget about me," Xiao Dezi greeted.
