The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

finally come.

Concubine Shu slightly closed her eyes, knowing that whether she could clear the suspicion depended on this time.

He opened his eyes after a moment, pointed to his red and itchy cheeks, and calmly spoke out the speech he had been preparing for two days.

"Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently and have trouble sleeping day and night, so I asked Qin Rong, who is skilled in medicine, to prepare Yin Xiang to calm my nerves. It is a coincidence that Yin Xiang can drive away giant alligators."

Bai Wanrong told her in person when she came to Feihong Palace that the Huangquan Cult used the giant crocodile to cause chaos in Hanyuan Palace.

Zhao Xi's people haven't even found out about Bai Wanrong, yet they want to use this as an opportunity to bring her down. It's simply wishful thinking.

As long as she insisted that she had no knowledge of the matter, Zhao Xi could do nothing about it.

Concubine Zhao knew that she would not admit it, so she sneered, "Yinxiang? The sachet contains Zhuxiang!"

"You lied to the emperor, Fang Zhiyan. Do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Emperor Mingde stared at Concubine Shu, and his dark eyes made her shudder with fear.

The cold voice of inquiry was disturbing, "Zhu Xiang and Yin Xiang, what are the effects of these two?"

"Zhuxiang calms the mind and soothes the spirit, while Yinxiang relieves pain and drives away the cold," Concubine Zhao gave Ruyi a look, "Besides that, Zhuxiang has another effect. Its smell can drive away giant alligators."

Ruyi received her gaze, turned the book to the page about Zhu Xiang, and presented it to Emperor Mingde with both hands.

The other palace servants in Changxin Palace delivered the remaining books to Qi Shunyi and others.

The palace maids spontaneously held up lanterns and moved closer to provide illumination.

The crackling sound of the flame burning the wick rang out in the quiet courtyard.

The atmosphere gradually solidified.

"Have all the sisters seen it clearly?"

Concubine Zhao picked up the sachet from the tray and raised her eyebrows proudly at Concubine Shu, "Fang Zhiyan, do you want me to ask an imperial physician to tell you whether this is Zhuxiang or Yinxiang?"

Concubine Shu’s face froze.

Of course the imperial physician could tell the difference between Zhuxiang and Yinxiang.

In fact, Doctor Xu from the Imperial Medical Bureau was her man. There were two reasons why she did not say that the sachet was made by Doctor Xu.

Firstly, this kind of thing could easily be exposed by other imperial physicians, and Imperial Physician Xu did not dare to tell such an obvious lie.

Second, the Fang family fell into decline, the third prince was poisoned, and her power was far less than before. Doctor Xu had the idea of ​​looking for another place to stay. He became less concerned about her orders.

Qi Shunyi crunched the books until they creaked. "Why is Concubine Shu not talking? Can't you explain?"

When Concubine Shu heard this, her brows furrowed.

In order to avoid suspicion from others, she described the Zhuxiang she gave to Du Qilan as Yinxiang with a similar smell.

In this way, even if Du Qilan told others that Yin Xiang could not drive away the giant crocodile, no one would suspect that she knew in advance that there was a giant crocodile causing trouble in Hanyuan Hall.

All the way from Feihong Palace to Renming Palace, everything was as she expected.

No one cares about a small sachet.

The only variable is Su Yinyue!

This little bitch actually asked her for the sachet in public, forcing the easily overlooked sachet into everyone's sight!

If the sachet hadn't fallen into Zhao Xi's hands, nothing would have happened.

Although it is not a secret that Zhuxiang can drive away giant alligators, ordinary people would not know it unless they read special books.

It’s all Zhao Xi’s fault!

She and Su Yinyue are worthy of being mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, their annoying faces are exactly the same!

Concubine Shu's hatred for the two deepened. Seeing that everyone was waiting for her explanation, she pretended to be surprised and asked, "So that was Zhu Xiang?"

"Maybe Qinrong made a mistake."

Qi Shunyi was angered by her understatement and said angrily, "Two princes and a princess' lives were saved by the Empress Shufei's words, but she only recognized three words wrongly?"

Concubine Xia couldn't help but burst into tears. She knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have never heard of Concubine Shu using Zhuxiang to calm her nerves. Concubine Shu's words are clearly a sophistry."

"Besides, there are so many calming spices, why did Concubine Shu choose to use Zhuxiang at such a critical moment? She also called Zhuxiang Yinxiang to confuse people. It is obvious that she is deliberately plotting to murder the heir to the throne and clear the way for the third prince!"

"Please punish Concubine Shu severely!"

Shu Fei's breathing became heavier, and she interrupted coldly, "Shut up!"

"Lady Xia, if you have evidence, bring it out. I won't tolerate your slander!"

Concubine Zhao immediately retorted, "The group of remnants of the Huangquan Sect who escorted Zhuang Ying out of the palace all died at the hands of the Third Prince. Concubine Shu, you and the Third Prince have planned to kill them to silence them, right?"

Emperor Mingde said with a gloomy face, "I vaguely remember that when the imperial guards reported that Zhuang Ying had escaped, the third brother was the first to lead people out of Funing Palace."

"If he wasn't anxious to kill people and silence them, what was his reason?"

"Ling'er is worried about letting the murderer who killed his father escape."

Concubine Shu looked sad. "I heard that the Huangquan Sect is inhumane. Every member of the sect hides poison in their mouth. Once caught, they will immediately commit suicide by taking poison. Isn't it the same for the Huangquan Sect remnants caught by others?"

"That day in Huijing Hall, Ling'er saw Prince Yu charging ahead and felt bad. She also wanted to protect her father like Prince Yu did, so she actively chased after him."

"Your Majesty, you can't just believe the instigation and doubt Ling'er's filial piety."

Emperor Mingde looked at Concubine Shu in silence. He believed that the third brother was not that cruel, but he did not believe Concubine Shu.

Concubine Zhao keenly noticed that his cold and hard expression was beginning to melt, and she felt furious.

Knowing that Emperor Mingde would not touch the Third Prince, she changed the subject and said, "The Third Prince is filial, but where is the sachet?"

"Shu Fei, you showed up at Hanyuan Palace wearing a sachet to repel giant alligators. Now you say you didn't know anything. Are you treating all of us as fools?"

Qin Rong, who was standing behind Concubine Shu, squeezed her palms hard and made some kind of decision.

She knelt down with a thud and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to prepare a calming sachet for you after learning just a little bit of knowledge."

Realizing that she wanted to take all the blame on herself, Concubine Zhao's eyes became fierce.

"When you took the incense from the Imperial Household Department, did no one tell you what it was? Or did Concubine Shu have a way to send things in from outside the palace?"

The transportation of items in and out of the palace was suspected of collusion, but Qin Rong would certainly not admit it.

"When I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I saw that they each had their own work, so I took it on my own and did not ask them to accompany me. However, I was not very skilled and mistook Yinxiang for Zhuxiang."

"This is all my fault. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The women in the harem were smart and quickly found the loophole in Qin Rong's words.

"Mistook? So, what you originally wanted to get from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the Yinxiang?"

Qin Rong lowered her eyes, her mind racing. The queen had said Zhu Xiang was Yin Xiang, so she had to agree with the queen to help her get away with the crime.

After going over the answer three times in his mind and confirming that it was correct, he spoke:

"Replying to Lady Xia, I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the Yinxiang, but I accidentally got the wrong Zhuxiang."

Qi Shunyi sneered, "Madam Shufei, your servant is so loyal."

Seeing Concubine Shu's face change, Qin Rong looked up in confusion, not understanding what she had said wrong.

"Just now, the Imperial Concubine said it clearly, Yinxiang relieves pain and drives away cold, while Zhuxiang calms the mind. How can you use Yinxiang, which relieves pain and drives away cold, to calm the mind?"

Qi Shunyi threw the book heavily at Qin Rong, "You slut, why don't you tell the truth!"
