He quickly ordered people to arrest the manager of the imperial pharmacy, but he didn't expect that the manager had already jumped into the carp pond in the imperial garden.

By the time he was fished out, he was already dead.

Zhan Yan searched his body and found a secret letter wrapped in brown paper.

He handed the secret letter to Emperor Sheng An, and after he finished reading it, he threw it in front of Li Delu and said, "Read it for yourself!"

Li Delu picked it up tremblingly, only to see a line of words written on it: "Be sure to sprinkle the blister beetle powder on the cork leaves. If you do this, your family members outside the palace will survive. Otherwise, they will all die!"

The familiar handwriting made him collapse. It was clearly written by him!

But he was sure that he had not written it. What was going on?

Now he has no way to defend himself!

Emperor Sheng An stared at him coldly, "Li Delu, I believe in your loyalty, but now all the evidence points to you as the real culprit. Everything else can be argued, but this secret letter is the definitive proof!"

Li Delu was immediately disheartened. He said dejectedly, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say!"

Emperor Sheng An gnashed his teeth and said, "Since you burned my son, I will burn you alive too. Come, send him to the corpse melting furnace!"

Before Li Delu could say anything, Lin Yiwan hurriedly stopped him: "Royal brother, wait a minute!"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and looked at her: "Wan Wan, you still want to plead for Li Delu? Do you know that his handwriting is very special? I will never make a mistake!"

Lin Yiwan said in a serious tone, "Brother, Li Delu won't run away anyway. You can kill him at any time. Can you let me ask him a few questions first?"

Emperor Sheng An nodded: "Okay, ask!"

Lin Yiwan quickly walked up to Li Delu and asked with a frown, "Can I take your pulse?"

He first widened his eyes in shock, and after a moment he obediently handed her his wrist.

After about a cup of tea, Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "Eunuch Li, have you noticed anything unusual in your body since you woke up recently?"

Li Delu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but something suddenly occurred to him. He quickly said, "Madam, I haven't noticed anything wrong with my body, but this morning I discovered wisteria petals on my shoes. The wisteria garden is the only place in the entire palace where wisteria is grown. It was originally a forbidden area of ​​the previous dynasty and has always been locked. There is no way I would have gone there!"

Without saying anything, Lin Yiwan immediately looked at Emperor Sheng An: "Brother, I want to go to Ziteng Garden!"

Emperor Sheng An ordered someone to take her to the Wisteria Garden, and found that the empty courtyard was covered with wisteria petals.

Layer upon layer, it looks like a long purple carpet.

When Lin Yiwan stepped on it, she heard a crunching sound next to her ears.

She walked into the hall. The surroundings were covered with dust and even cobwebs. It was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.

Emperor Sheng An, who was following behind, said impatiently, "Wan Wan, you believe his nonsense. This shabby place wouldn't be like this if someone came here!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "Then my royal brother, are you willing to have Li Delu wrongfully killed? As an emperor, you naturally have your reasons, but he is, after all, your servant who has been with you for many years. Don't you care at all?"

Emperor Sheng An's face suddenly turned pale and blue. How could he not care?

But he must give an explanation to the Queen!

An explanation must be given to the court officials!

After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, "I am the Emperor. I need to put an end to this matter as soon as possible. If the entire palace becomes restless and the court officials intervene, I'm afraid the Lin family will also be implicated!"

Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly: "The Lin family is not afraid of being implicated. The Lin family wants the truth and will never let Li Delu die unjustly!"

She strode into the hall and searched carefully.

Soon she found a clean side hall, which not only had a table, but also had pens, ink and paper.

Emperor Sheng An was also very shocked. He asked in confusion, "Who has been here?"

Lin Yiwan replied in a low voice: "One of them is Li Delu, and the other one should be the woman who likes to use wisteria aromatherapy!"

Emperor Sheng An said in surprise: "But Li Delu said he doesn't remember!"

Lin Yiwan pushed the burnt incense powder in front of him and said, "Brother, have you ever heard of a disease called soul separation syndrome?"

Emperor Sheng An was stunned. He asked in shock, "Separation? Soul separation? I've never heard of this before. What kind of strange disease is this?"

Lin Yiwan sighed, "I've only seen this in medical books. If I'm not mistaken, Li Delu must have suffered from this disease. He came to this abandoned Wisteria Garden to meet that woman while he was asleep and unconscious!"

Emperor Sheng'an's pupils contracted violently. Li Delu was his personal eunuch. He could do things for others when they were unconscious. Could he also take his life silently?

In an instant, he broke out in cold sweat.

He frowned and said, "Wanwan, so Li Delu can't stay?"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but look at him. She had to say, this emperor was really a dog. He put Li Delu's life and death in her hands.

He has no psychological burden anymore, so does he want her to incur Li Delu's resentment?

Perhaps realizing he had made a slip of the tongue, Emperor Sheng An quickly tried to make amends, "He has been with me since he was little, and he's intelligent and well-mannered. I really don't want to punish him!"

Lin Yiwan explained, "It might not be Li Delu's fault. He's been serving you for so long. Has he ever gone out wandering around after falling asleep before?"

Emperor Sheng An shook his head firmly: "No, he has never made any mistakes when keeping watch for me. He is very alert!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "That's right, he had a triggering factor that caused him to develop that strange disease!"

Emperor Sheng An suddenly understood: "The trigger is that mysterious woman?"

Lin Yiwan turned her head and looked outside, only to see the wisteria flowers blooming brilliantly, the entire yard looking like a fairyland.

In a trance, she seemed to see a woman in purple clothes walking among the wisteria flowers.

Emperor Sheng An noticed her sudden silence and couldn't help but call out, "Wanwan?"

"Bang!" She fell forward suddenly.

Emperor Sheng An rushed over and embraced her in his arms, shouting, "Someone, Wanwan has fainted!"

This was a serious matter, and the entire harem began to fall into chaos.

Zhan Yan settled Lin Yiwan in a side hall of Weiyang Palace and stayed by her side all the time.

Everyone's worried eyes were focused on Doctor Lin, waiting for him to quickly explain the reason why Lin Yiwan suddenly fell into a coma.

However, he took the patient's pulse with a serious expression for a long time without saying anything.

Prince Li couldn't wait any longer, so he asked anxiously, "Father, how is Wanwan's health now?"

Doctor Lin said obscurely, "Judging from her pulse, Wanwan is a little anxious, but it's not enough to cause her to pass out. She seems to be asleep!"
