Baili Ye and Qinghe looked at each other and understood in their hearts that the person behind the scenes was most likely from the Duke of England's side.

"Father, can you send someone to investigate this matter? Who did it?"

The emperor frowned and said, "I have sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."

At this time, Chief Steward Gao came in hurriedly and reported:

"Your Majesty, I have interrogated her and it is Rupin who did it. She has committed suicide by taking poison."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Rupin is the niece of Duke Qi, so it's no wonder."

Baili Ye pondered for a moment and said:

"Father, I don't think this matter is that simple.

Xiao He and I followed the people above Duke Qi to a temple. When we met them, they said they had deployments in the court, which should be related to the officials we captured.

I think we should investigate the connections between these officials, and we should also investigate those in the harem who are related to Rupin."

The emperor nodded and said:

"You are right. Father also thinks this matter is not simple. The person behind this must have come prepared. I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes, Father."

At this moment, the queen suddenly woke up.

When she saw Baili Ye and Qinghe, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Ye'er, He girl, you are here." The queen said weakly.

Baili Ye and Qinghe hurried forward and asked with concern: "Mother, how do you feel?"

The queen smiled and said, "I feel much better, but I'm still a little weak."

Qing He walked to the table, took the opportunity to pour a cup of space spiritual spring water, and said to the queen: "Mother, I just got rid of the poison. Drink some water first, you will be fine in a while."

Qinghe helped the queen sit up and fed her water.

After drinking the water, the queen was delighted to find that she felt much better, had more strength and was no longer uncomfortable.

The queen looked at Qinghe with relief and said with a smile: "Qinghe, thanks to you, otherwise mother would have really passed away this time."

Qing He held the Queen's hand and said:

"My queen mother is blessed with great fortune, and will surely turn adversity into luck. And this is what I should do. You are my queen mother, so of course I have to protect you."

The queen looked at Qinghe with emotion. She patted Qinghe's hand gently and said:

"Good boy, you are really my sweet little cotton-padded jacket."

At this time, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came in hurriedly, and Crown Prince Baili Ting asked anxiously:

"Mother, I heard that you were poisoned. Are you still feeling unwell?"

"Yes, mother, we were terrified when we heard that you were poisoned."

The Queen patted the Crown Princess's hand and said with a smile:

"Luckily I had Qing He's detoxification pills. I took them in time after I got poisoned, and now I feel much better. You're not feeling well right now, so why are you running back and forth? Don't tire yourself out."

The Crown Princess smiled and said:

"Mother, I am worried about you. I would feel uneasy if I didn't come to see you. Fortunately, you have my sister-in-law. You are our lucky star."

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Sister-in-law, these are what I should do. Fortunately, I was able to save mother. Mother, the people in this palace need to be thoroughly checked."

At this time, the emperor spoke:

"Queen, you just woke up and you are still very weak. You need to rest well. You should go out first and let the Queen rest well."

Baili Ye, Qing He, and the prince and his wife said in unison, "Yes, father."

After leaving the Queen's bedroom, Crown Prince Baili Ting and Baili Ye and his wife came to the outer hall to discuss how to deal with the Duke of England incident.

Prince Baili Ting said first:

"Brother Ye, sister-in-law, someone actually dared to attack in the palace this time, it is really bold.

We must find a way to completely solve this hidden danger."

Baili Ye pondered for a moment and said:

“Brother, I think the best thing to do now is to strengthen the palace’s security to prevent similar incidents from happening again;

In addition, we will thoroughly investigate the Duke of England and his followers, find evidence of their crimes, and try to force out the people behind them and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Qinghe nodded and said:

"I agree with Aye. The Duke of Ying is in my hands now. I will interrogate him strictly when I return today.

We must also be careful with our big brother and never let them take advantage of any loopholes.

They want to kidnap Xiao He for the store's recipe. Big brother must protect sister-in-law and Hao Xuan."

The prince nodded in agreement and said, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. I just didn't expect them to reach out to the Queen Mother. It's really abominable. Let's go back and make some arrangements!"

After the two returned home, Qinghe took Baili Ye into the space.

In a quiet room in the space, the Duke of England's hands and feet were chained, unable to move.

Baili Ye pinched the philtrum of Duke Yingguo, and Duke Yingguo slowly woke up.

Duke Ying looked around blankly at the unfamiliar environment, and the moment he saw Baili Ye and Qinghe, he realized that he had been captured.

Qinghe and Baili Ye sat opposite him, looking at him with cold eyes.

"Duke of England, do you admit your crime?" Baili Ye asked sternly.

The Duke of England raised his head and looked at Baili Ye and Qinghe with a disdainful smile on his face.

"What crime have I committed? I only kidnapped your shopkeeper to make a little more money. Besides, I didn't succeed. I am willing to apologize and compensate for this matter."

Qing He sneered in his heart and said:

"Prince of England, you don't think we don't know what you've done, do you?

You imprisoned Doctor Xue, kidnapped three shopkeepers to interrogate the recipe, and sent assassins to murder the imperial concubine. Do you think that just apologizing and compensating will suffice?"

The Duke of England was mysteriously confident in his assassins, thinking that they had not been betrayed, and he said nonchalantly:

"Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any, it's a false accusation. Don't think I'm afraid of you. I'm telling you, I'm going to sue you in front of the emperor."

Qing He took out a few pieces of paper, spread them out in front of Duke Ying, and sneered, "Duke Ying, look at what this is?"

The Duke of England looked at the paper in front of him with a look of disbelief.

Qing He sneered and said:

"Did you see clearly? The assassins you sent couldn't stand the torture and have confessed everything. We have also collected all the evidence of your crime."

The Duke of England turned pale, knowing that he had no way to escape.

He lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then said, "What do you want?"

Qing He said in a deep voice:

"If you want to have a lighter sentence and die comfortably, then tell me everything you know, and who is your superior?"

The Duke of England listened and refused to obey. "If I am caught by you, I know that I will not have a good ending. I will not tell you."

Qing He looked at his stubborn appearance and said with a smile: "There are ways not to tell you. Look at what I have in my hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver chain fell in front of the Duke of England, and a snap of fingers was heard in his ears.

The Duke of England's eyes began to shake along with the silver chain, and Qinghe began to perform hypnosis.

Her voice became low and magnetic, making people unconsciously fall into a state of relaxation.
