Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Xianying's face changed drastically and his nerves tensed up.

He knew that it would be difficult to explain to Xie Jin if he broke into the Ministry of Punishment, but he didn't expect him to be so tough.

The implication of this answer was that if he was not allowed in, he would have to force his way in.

Xian Ying swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm:

"Your Highness Prince Rong, have you gone to see His Majesty?"

Xie Jin said: “No.”

Xianying became even more panicked:

"Then I advise Your Highness to get His Majesty's permission before coming to see people. Please don't embarrass me."

Xie Jin said calmly: "If you don't want to make things difficult, just get out of the way."

Xian Ying: “….”

It seemed that His Royal Highness Prince Rong didn't want to hear a single word he said.

Xianying was in a dilemma and clenched the sword in his hand. He thought that he was working for the emperor and he had to fulfill his responsibilities no matter what.

As for whether Prince Rong could break in, that was not something he could control.

He raised his sword:

"Your Highness Prince Rong, I'm sorry I can't give in."

When the imperial guards saw their boss raising his sword, they also raised their swords.

Xie Jin did not move. The aura he emanated made the atmosphere on the scene extremely depressing. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the people in the Yangxin Palace also received the news.

The medicine that Feng Qingluan prepared for Emperor Xia Ming contained sleeping-inducing herbs. Emperor Xia Ming would fall into a deep sleep after taking the medicine. No matter how he planned to frame her, as long as he fell asleep and the pressure was not coming from his side, there would still be room for maneuver.

But Emperor Xia Ming did not drink the medicine, he smashed the medicine bowl.

Meng Hanlin figured it out when he was looking at the prescription, and later he added the tranquilizer to the medicine that Emperor Xia Ming drank.

Therefore, when Xie Jin rushed to the palace, Emperor Xia Ming was in a coma, with only the empress taking care of him by his bedside.

A guard came to report the situation of the Ministry of Punishment to the Yuan Dynasty.

The eunuch of the Yuan Dynasty ran into the Yangxin Palace:

"Empress, something terrible has happened."

The queen looked at Emperor Xia Ming who was sleeping on the bed and waved her hand to tell him to go outside and talk.

When they arrived outside the palace, the queen asked:

"what happened?"

The Yuan Dynasty eunuch looked anxious:

"Reporting to the Queen, after His Royal Highness Prince Rong learned that Feng Qingluan was taken to the Ministry of Punishment, he went to the Ministry of Punishment to snatch her away. Commander Xian led his men to stop them, and a fight was about to break out. What should we do?"

When the Queen heard that Xie Jin had entered the palace, she was not nervous at first, but rather relieved.

Xie Jin's news came quickly. It was a good thing that he came. He said:

"His Majesty has taken medicine and gone to sleep. Do not disturb him with this matter. I will go and take a look first."

Eunuch Yuan Chao understood that this matter could be a big or small matter. If His Majesty knew that he was confronting Prince Rong, no one would have a good ending.

He said, "Everything is up to the Majesty's arrangement."

When the Queen arrived at the Ministry of Punishment after receiving the news, she saw Xian Ying and Xie Jin in a tense confrontation.

Yuan Chao was also frightened when he saw this scene and shouted loudly:

"The Empress is here."

Xianying stretched his head and saw the queen and the palace maids coming over. He suddenly relaxed and put away his sword and saluted respectfully:

"See the Queen."

The other imperial guards also saluted the queen in unison.

The queen walked over, her eyes swept across a few people, and finally fell on Xie Jin.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Xie Jin's eyes were light: "I'm here to ask for someone."

It's hard to say for the Queen. Xie Jin only brought Jiang Qu, a guard, and no one else. It's not true to say that he led troops to break into the palace.

But there were only two of them trying to snatch people from hundreds of imperial guards. You can imagine how terrifying Xie Jin was.

The Queen asked, "Prince Rong, may we talk further?"

She didn't want to cause conflict between Xie Jin and His Majesty.

Xie Jin remained motionless, so the Queen had no choice but to walk up to him:

“Prince Rong, I know you are angry. You don’t know the situation in the Yangxin Palace. The bowl of medicine Feng Qingluan gave to Your Majesty was brewed by her personally. It was not tested by anyone else. The imperial physician found it to be poisonous in public.

Although I do not believe that Feng Qingluan dared to murder Your Majesty, the incident really happened. Feng Qingluan is the most suspicious, and it is normal procedure for Your Majesty to lock her up in the Ministry of Punishment.

So don't be impulsive. Once the matter is investigated, bring the evidence to His Majesty to prove that the poisoner is someone else. Then the matter can be handled more gently and won't get out of hand."

She advised earnestly.

Xie Jin's expression remained unchanged:

"Feng Qingluan was suspected, but the emperor ordered her to be taken to the Shenxingsi without verifying the murderer. What is the Shenxingsi? The queen would not think that she would be simply questioned after entering, and would definitely use torture.

Feng Qingluan is my fiancée, how can I let her be framed? Since the Queen wants to handle this gently, I will vouch for her and bring the person out before investigating the murderer."

Hearing the determination in his words, the queen thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, you can take her away, but you must catch the murderer, otherwise I will have a hard time explaining to His Majesty if I let her go."

When Xianying heard what the queen said, he let out a long breath. He didn't want to confront Prince Rong.

He ordered, "Come here, bring Miss Feng out of the Ministry of Punishment!"

At this time, a woman's scream was heard from behind the crowd. Feng Qingluan learned that Xie Jin had arrived, and came out with Nanny Lei.

Aunt Lei's voice broke as she shouted, her face looking ashen:

"Get out of the way! Don't block the road! Get out of the way!"

Everyone looked towards the two of them and saw the dagger that Feng Qingluan had placed on Nanny Lei's neck.

The corners of Xianying's mouth twitched. She was indeed the woman that Prince Rong liked. She was too fierce. She actually threatened Supervisor Lei with a knife and walked out of the Ministry of Punishment.

It turns out that people of the same family are alike, and neither of them is someone to be trifled with.

Seeing that Feng Qingluan was unharmed, Xie Jin relaxed and walked towards her.

Feng Qingluan pushed Aunt Lei away and said to Xie Jin:

"I am not the murderer, I did not poison."

Xie Jin said: “I know.”

Feng Qingluan nodded and looked at the Queen:

"Empress, please tell me what happened in the Yangxin Palace when His Majesty discovered that the medicine was poisonous."

The Queen asked the imperial guards to withdraw and told Feng Qingluan the situation in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity again.

Feng Qingluan said: "I wrote the prescription and I was the one who prepared the medicine. There was no problem before it was delivered to the Yangxin Palace.

The only time I could have been poisoned by the murderer was when I was trapped outside the Yangxin Palace and the young eunuch led by Yuan Chao took the medicine bowl and entered the Yangxin Palace. "

When Yuan Chao heard that the poisoning might have happened to him, he immediately retorted:

"Miss Feng, I have served Your Majesty for more than 20 years and have always been loyal to Him. Do you suspect that I have poisoned Your Majesty? I would not, and would not dare to, commit the heinous crime of exterminating my entire clan!"

Feng Qingluan said: "You dare not, but it does not prevent someone from ordering you. Where is the eunuch beside you? What's his name? Why can't I see him?"

Yuan Chao said: "His name is Xiao Fuzi, he is my adopted son, and he is serving Your Majesty in the Yangxin Palace."

Feng Qingluan looked at Xie Jin:

"Go to the Yangxin Palace."

Several people went to the outer hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Feng Qingluan went to the pharmacy first.

There couldn't be anything wrong with the herbs, she had checked.

Where are the utensils for boiling medicine?

She had to check the casserole and water thoroughly, and after making sure there were no problems, Feng Qingluan returned to the outer hall of the Yangxin Palace.

Yuan Chao looked around for Xiao Fuzi, then came back with a grim look on his face and reported to the Queen and Xie Jin:

"Empress, Your Highness Prince Rong, Xiao Fuzi is missing."
