This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 161: Defiled Pure Yuan

Everyone looked towards the door, and saw Wen Shichu walking in with his body hunched, while looking sideways at Xiao Yunzi behind him who was holding a medicine jar.

Jinxi took the lead and walked forward to the saint.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this medicine jar!" Wen Shichu knelt down to report.

Yongzheng passed the string of beads from his right hand to his left hand.

Little Yunzi tactfully bent down and brought the medicine jar closer to the emperor.

The emperor looked carefully at the medicine jar on the tray, opened the lid and inspected it, then calmly put the lid back on the jar. Then he leaned back on the back of the Eight Immortals Chair.

A look of understanding.

Wen Shichu readily said, "Just as Your Majesty has seen, the lid of the decoction is much deeper than the pot. I think the person who poisoned the medicine must have put the lid in the pot and stewed it. When the water boiled, the medicinal properties on the lid slowly seeped into the medicine I prescribed for you."

"What a meticulous skill! No wonder Lord Wen couldn't find his pulse even though he checked every day." Concubine Jing's words of sudden enlightenment easily helped Wen Shichu escape danger.

But the Queen suddenly asked, "Then why did Concubine Wan suddenly faint today?"

"I think it's because I added an extra ginseng to the tonic for Lady Wan." Wen Shichu was not at all flustered.

"Yes, Lord Wen saw that the young lady was tired and exhausted every day, so he added ginseng to the tonic. I used the two wild ginsengs that the Queen gave me personally."

Jinxi seemed to understand something as her eyes moved, and she immediately added.

The queen felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know that Lady Wan would suffer such a disaster."

"Your Majesty, you often mean well but end up doing bad things." Concubine Hua glanced at the panicked queen.

The meaning is self-evident.

Wasn't it you who accidentally fed Lady Shen's baby?

"Hua Fei, is this how you want to talk to me?" The Queen tried to use her status to suppress Hua Fei.

Hua Fei rolled her eyes disdainfully, looking extremely arrogant.

"Have the person who poisoned the patient been found?" The emperor simply ignored the queen's question.

"Your Majesty, this medicine jar has always been kept by the little palace maid Huasui." Xiao Yunzi stepped forward and spoke at the right time.

"Bring it up."

The matter was exposed a few days ago, Zhen Huan found out the truth, and Hua Sui had already been brought in for interrogation.

Zhen Huan promised that if Hua Sui told the truth in front of the emperor, she would protect Hua Sui's family and give Hua Sui a large sum of money for them to settle down elsewhere.

Therefore, Huasui is now standing at the door waiting for the emperor to summon her.

After entering the palace, Huasui tearfully complained about how she was threatened and bribed by Yu from the cold palace, which led her to do the wrong thing in a moment of confusion.

If Huasui had not reminded him, Yongzheng would have almost forgotten that Yu was the woman who reciprocated poems with him in Yime Garden on New Year's Eve.

Such a woman is also worthy of reciting Chun Yuan's favorite poem when she was alive! It really disgraced Chun Yuan and the poem.

Concubine Hua: Chun Yuan is not that pure.

"Where is the eunuch who gave you the medicine now?"

"Your Majesty, that little Yinzi is now serving in the cold palace."

Hua Sui had never seen Xiao Yinzi's true appearance. Every other night, Xiao Yinzi would just pass the medicine in through the hole in the wall.

Last night, Huasui stood in the corner of Suiyuxuan to get medicine as usual. Xiao Yunzi followed the young eunuch all the way to the cold palace, only to find out that it was Xiao Yinzi, the young eunuch who used to work in Suiyuxuan.

This little Yinzi's master Kang Luhai was thrown into the Ministry of Punishment and tortured to death by Concubine Li a long time ago. I didn't expect that this little Yinzi is still working as an official.

After a careful investigation, Zhen Huan realized that this little girl was probably sent by Concubine Li to work in the cold palace.

As for the reason, it is nothing more than grace.

People have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts.

Thinking about the hardships Shen Meizhuang had endured along the way, Zhen Huan also hardened her heart and put on such a show.

In order to make the emperor take this matter seriously, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang came up with this plan to protect themselves.

"Su Peisheng."

"The slave understands."

Yongzheng picked up the beads in his hand faster and faster.

"Your Majesty, although these things are directly pointing to Yu in the cold palace, it doesn't seem like something that someone in the cold palace can do." The queen said with concern.

Yongzheng knew this too, but if he investigated further, he was afraid that he might touch upon someone he didn't want to touch.

"Your Majesty is a thoughtful person, and I think there is some truth in what you said." Concubine Hua spoke leisurely.

Emperor: Isn't it Concubine Hua? That's easy.

Queen: Wasn’t it you who asked Concubine Li to arrange for Xiao Yinzi to do this?

The Queen looked at Concubine Hua with a cold expression, and Concubine Hua gave the Queen a bright smile.

The queen felt a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, I have brought Xiao Yinzi with me."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Little Yinzi's head was banging loudly.

"Did Yu ask you to poison Concubine Wan?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Yinzi stuttered and couldn't even speak clearly.

"If you are lying, I will have your tongue twisted immediately. Tell me! How did Yu Shi come up with such a thorough plan in the cold palace?"

"Your Majesty, I am really just following Yu's orders. I don't know anything else."

Xiao Yinzi thought about the previous tug of war between several forces, and someone secretly found him and asked him to say that it was Concubine Li who poisoned Concubine Wan on the orders of Concubine Hua. Another person promised his family peace and wealth, and asked him to implicate the Queen.

Xiao Yinzi was struggling for a long time between these two big guys and couldn't decide who to listen to.

If the Queen is implicated, can the person behind the scenes really keep his family safe? Xiao Yinzi doesn't dare to bet.

At this point, he had no choice but to hold on to Yu tightly.

"Bring Yu here." Seeing that he couldn't pry anything out of Xiao Yinzi's mouth, the emperor ordered the guards to take the person away.

And seeing that Yu was still dressed brightly, neatly and cleanly in the cold palace, we knew that someone was protecting her in the cold palace.

Otherwise, life would not be so comfortable.

Yu had been living with the madman in the cold palace all day long and had had enough of that. She was just waiting for this final scene today.

"Your servant Yu pays homage to His Majesty. I never thought that I would have the chance to see him again." Yu Ying'er was extremely calm.

"It was you who poisoned Lady Wan?"

"It's me." Yu Ying'er straightened her back and took all the blame on herself.

"Why you?"

"When I was imprisoned in the cold palace, this noble lady Wan was in great favor. How could I not hate her?"

"Evil woman, I wanted to execute you because you framed Concubine Xin and Concubine Shen. It was the Queen Mother who pleaded for you and spared your life. Instead of saying that you would reflect on your mistakes in the cold palace, you actually dared to do such a wicked thing."

"Hahahaha, I just want your beloved concubine to slowly go crazy and die. I just want you to watch your beloved woman slowly go crazy."
