The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

After Emperor Chengtian finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's expression became even worse.

She knew that if a child was not her own, he would never agree with her. If she had not abandoned the child, she would not be in such a situation now.

Empress Dowager Shan's heart was in turmoil. On the one hand, she secretly cursed the emperor and Song Qingci for embarrassing her, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for the child she had lost.

Song Qingci glanced at Emperor Chengtian out of the corner of his eye. Regardless of other things, at least at this moment, the emperor, as an ally, performed well.

Song Qingci wasn't completely mindless in his response.

Since Shan Li chose to stand on the emperor's side, her position was also the same as the emperor's.

Their general's mansion has a close relationship with the empress dowager, so it is not easy to gain the emperor's trust.

The Empress Dowager is plotting against her own family at this time. Isn't that a natural handle for her to use?

Originally, the General's Mansion could still maintain superficial harmony with the Queen Mother, but now, because of Shan Xi's matter, it is completely unnecessary.

She believed that neither the old lady nor her mother-in-law would forgive the Empress Dowager after knowing what happened to Shan Xi.

The people of the Shan family may not be good at anything else, but they are good at protecting their own people!

The General's Mansion will never tolerate such behavior of harming one's own family.

Seeing that the emperor was not going to intervene, the Empress Dowager looked at Empress Zhou again, "Empress! This is Kunning Palace! You just watch it happen?!"

The implication is that you are not going to manage your territory? !

When Empress Zhou was called, she was completely confused. "Mother, although this is Kunning Palace, you are the most senior one in the harem."

You can't do anything about it, so how can I, a queen who has been sidelined, do anything about it?

"Well, well, well! You are all great!" The Queen Mother completely lost the benevolent and kind demeanor she usually displayed. Her face even looked a bit hateful.

Sure enough, no matter how well or gorgeously you dress, as long as your inner heart is different from what you show, your true colors will be revealed one day.

At this time, Feng San appeared in Kunning Palace.

He was previously assigned to collect other evidence in the side hall. His appearance now meant that he had already collected all the evidence and had some results.

Shan Li signaled him to speak directly in front of the emperor, empress and queen mother.

There is no need to cover up for anyone, just tell whatever you find out.

After getting permission, Feng San told everything that he and the people left behind by Emperor Chengtian had found out.

"You mean, there is unburned medicine in the incense burner in the side hall? !" Emperor Chengtian asked.

"Your Majesty, yes. The remaining medicine residue has been checked by the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital and is the powder of Yu Tang Chun." Feng San replied respectfully.

Yu Tang Chun is a relatively expensive aphrodisiac. It can be taken directly or mixed with other spices in an incense burner and burned together.

It is a relatively mild aphrodisiac.

It does not cause much harm to the body and will not produce any bad sequelae after taking it.

It is generally used by the sons and daughters of rich families and nobles. Except for being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Moreover, we found some unburned incense not far from the side hall," Feng San continued.

"This is because they are afraid that it won't work, so they have made all the necessary preparations!" Emperor Chengtian thought about it for a moment and understood.

First, they used incense to make the person unconscious, and then took him to the side hall. The person was unconscious, and they were afraid that they could not accomplish their mission, so they burned Yu Tang Chun in the incense burner.

People in a coma cannot take medicine, but they still need to breathe. Lighting Yu Tang Chun is also effective.

As for why nothing was accomplished and instead both sides suffered losses, Emperor Chengtian was a little confused.

Logically speaking, it was already such a double insurance, but how could a person still end up like that? He was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that some princes and nobles like to do things that are not worthy of public display to the women they like. Therefore, whenever I attend a banquet, I will take a detoxification pill in advance just in case. Therefore, whether it is a drug or an aphrodisiac, it will not work during the detoxification pill's effective period." As if knowing the doubts in Emperor Chengtian's heart, Song Qingci took the initiative to answer the doubts.

"Shan Xi was not knocked unconscious, but was beaten unconscious. The bruises on her neck can serve as evidence of this." Song Qingci discovered this when he checked Shan Xi's body.

The detoxification pills she made are ineffective against ordinary drugs and aphrodisiacs.

It is estimated that Qiu Jincheng found that the drug was useless, so he knocked her out and took her away. The aphrodisiac called Yutangchun was probably lit just in case.

Song Qingci figured out why Shan Xi fainted, but she currently had no idea why she fainted.

And this is the second time.

Last time, I fainted without any warning, and then woke up without any warning.

After dealing with this matter, Song Qingci decided to find out the reason for his inexplicable fainting.

Otherwise, it would be too insecure for her.

If it was just a coincidence last time and she didn't pay enough attention to it, then this time, she will remember it clearly.

After listening to Song Qing's words, Emperor Chengtian's doubts were resolved.

Then I became curious about the detoxification pill, but now was not the right time, so I would ask about it in detail later.

The people who were sent out by Queen Zhou before also came back.

They didn't come back on their own, they were followed by a group of people, all of whom were found out to be more or less related to this incident!

Lingzhi and Amber were both senior maids-in-charge in Queen Zhou's palace. Queen Zhou had entrusted this matter to her and Amber.

Lingzhi was kneeling in front of the main hall at this moment, and reported to the emperor and empress, "The people have been carefully screened, and these are the ones who have been found to have problems."

"Of these four, two are maids who sweep the side halls, and the other two are guards who are responsible for the security of the side halls and the surrounding areas." Lingzhi pointed at the four people kneeling in the front and said.

"These two are responsible for delivering messages." Following the four people in front were two older maids. They looked miserable and had been tortured.

"The eunuch who led Mr. Qiu Jincheng has disappeared, and the maid who told Mrs. Shan and Miss Shan that we have an invitation from Kunning Palace and led the way has also disappeared. These six people lived in the same room with the two of them. I brought them here on my own initiative."

"Amber is currently leading people to search these people's houses. I was afraid that Your Majesty and the Queen would be anxious waiting, so I brought these people here first."
