Wen Xing smiled back, and said: "The Queen's empress praises you, but the minister has only done his duty. On the contrary, His Royal Highness has a sincere heart, and it can be said that during this period of empress' coma, it can be said that he can hardly sleep or eat."

The queen finally woke up once, and Wen Xing brought her attention back to Xie Yi in a few moments.

Hearing this, the Empress turned her gaze to Xie Yi, and she saw that he looked haggard.She frowned slightly, looked at him disapprovingly, and said: "I was just in a coma for a while, how could Yier not pay attention to her body?"

Xie Yi glanced at Wen Xing helplessly, and pushed the blame back on him: "The queen mother listens to A Xing's nonsense, and besides, my son is also worried about you."

Wen Xing rubbed his nose and changed the subject: "Empress, do you remember where the spices in Qinglan Palace come from?"

"In my palace?"

The empress must not be a fool if she could gain a foothold in the harem. Hearing Wen Xing's questioning, she knew something was wrong.She shook her head and said truthfully: "I never use spices in this palace."

Both Wen Xing and Xie Yi were startled.

They originally guessed that someone had mixed the medicine into the queen's commonly used incense, so that she could relax her vigilance and inhale it silently, but they never thought that the queen never used these.

If it is not used, once there is any strange smell in the palace, it should be alerted.

Just at this time the imperial physician arrived, Xie Yi chatted casually with the empress for a while, then he and Wen Xing pulled Xie Qing to leave temporarily.

The three of them walked silently on the way back to the East Palace, each with a different mind.

The collection of medical books in the imperial palace cannot be said to be the most, but it is definitely the most complete. Almost all the medicinal materials that have been recorded in the Northern Dynasty and the previous Dynasty can be found, but the imperial physicians searched for several days and still found nothing.

Never-before-seen medicinal materials, hard-to-smell odors, undetectable symptoms...

Could it be...?

Wen Xing and Xie Yi paused at the same time.

Yunwu tribe.

The same three words appeared in the minds of both of them at the same time.

The Yunwu tribe is good at poison, and there are many poisonous herbs that have never been recorded in the Northern Dynasties.And three years ago, Princess Qingyang of the Yunwu clan stayed in the harem for several days!

But if Princess Qingyang really did it, why didn't this happen in the previous life?

"Brother Prince, Ke Meng, since you are still busy, I will go back first."

Xie Qing's thoughtful words brought back Wen Xing's thoughts.

He smiled apologetically at Xie Qing, and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't accompany you anymore."

"Gutong Ah Xing really has important matters to deal with." Xie Yi smiled and rubbed Xie Qing's soft hair, and added, "It's hard for Xiaoqing to go back by herself first."

Xie Qing smiled obediently, fully expressed her understanding, then waved her hand and left on her own.

After Xie Qing left, Wen Xing and Xie Yi gradually started discussing each other.

"Ah Xing, do you still remember Princess Qingyang?"

As soon as Xie Yi said this, Wen Xing knew that the two of them wanted to be together again.

He nodded and said, "I remember. I'm actually also wondering if it was Princess Qingyang who did it, but no matter how I think about it, there is always a link that cannot be hooked."

Wen Xing deliberately obscured the statement about the memory of his past life, showing embarrassment.

Xie Yi knew what he was referring to, so he didn't say it clearly, and pondered: "But I can still be sure that she has something to do with it. Maybe... who is she hiding in the harem?"

This is currently the most likely possibility.

The empress in her previous life did not experience this kind of experience, maybe it was because of the person who ambush her.

At this moment, Wen Xing suddenly remembered another detail, and hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, the incense was lit directly in Qinglan Palace, but there are also many servants in Qinglan Palace who serve day and night, why is it only the empress?" Something happened?"

"You mean..." Xie Yi suddenly widened his eyes.

"Perhaps it is the servant of Qinglan Palace."

Wen Xing continued the second half of Xie Yi's sentence in a low voice.

Xie Yi decisively turned his head and was about to walk back, but barely stopped just as he was taking his steps.Even though the mother-in-law is eager, it is still rationality that dominates Xie Yi's emotions.

"No, no, not necessarily a servant of Qinglan Palace."

Wen Xing was just guessing, after hearing Xie Yi's words, he asked, "What does Your Highness mean by these words?"

"In the past few years, one after another, Gu Ye has investigated a lot of information about the Yunwu tribe." Xie Yi explained to Wen Xing while sorting out the current mess of thoughts.

"Gu once noticed that the Yunwu tribe is very cunning, that is, they like to use cover-ups. Whether it's on the battlefield or in some daily and court struggles."

"In the entire Qinglan Palace, only the queen mother has an accident. We will soon realize that, and at this time, we will definitely be suspicious of the people around the mother. If it is really not the fault of the servants, then Didn't it just happen to fall into their tricks?"

Xie Yi's analysis was well-founded, and Wen Xing went over it carefully in his mind.

If it was not done by the servant, then there is another possibility——

There is something unique around the queen that can induce the toxicity of the medicine added to the spice.

Wen Xing and Xie Yi looked at each other and each made a decision.

The queen just woke up today, so it's better not to disturb her too much for the time being, so they unanimously decided to wait until tomorrow to find the queen.

It's just that tonight is probably destined to be a sleepless night for the two of them.

At si o'clock the next day, Wen Xing, who was waiting in front of the Mingyuan Palace where the daily court meeting was held, saw Xie Yi accompanied by all the officials in a short while.

The imperial physician had already reported to Xie Yi yesterday that the empress was fine for the time being except for her lack of energy, so they decided to go to Qinglan Palace together after Xie Yi came down.

In Qinglan Palace, the exhausted queen leaned on the head of the bed, holding an unknown scroll in her hand.

It is rumored that besides the title of the most beautiful woman, the empress was also called a talented woman in the Northern Dynasties.

It's a pity that after entering the imperial palace, it gradually disappeared in the literary and painting circles.

Although the Northern Dynasty has always advocated that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, but the empress is the daughter of the former prime minister with a prominent position, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks, which has made her a good name.

Perhaps it was also because of this that the empress was able to gain a firm foothold among the three thousand beauties, and gave birth to the first emperor daughter and prince smoothly that year, and at the same time allowed Xie Yi to follow the eldest princess casually during his childhood. long.

"My son has seen his mother, please greet her."

"My minister sees the empress, and greets the empress."

Xie Yi and Wen Xing saluted respectfully.

Only then did the queen notice the two, put down the scroll in her hand, and said with a smile, "Get up."

"My son (Weichen) thanked my mother (Empress Empress)."

Wen Xing waited for Xie Yi to stand up and take his seat before getting up, standing beside him, listening quietly to the conversation between Xie Yi and the queen with downcast eyes.

Xie Yi was not in a hurry to get to the point, and after chatting with the empress for a long time, he asked casually, "Speaking of which, is there any special item that the empress can wear on her body?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Xing caught a glimpse of the Queen's frowning.

Even if Xie Yi purposely avoided the topic so far, it was inevitable that the empress would notice that the son who knew him was the mother.

"Yi'er suspects that Ben Gong's illness is related to the things he wears?"

Xie Yi seemed to have expected it but still couldn't hide it from the queen, he let out a smirk and told the whole story of the two of them.

Hearing this, the empress also began to think carefully about the "special" items on her body, but after flipping over and over again, she found a small sachet.

Wen Xing stared at the sachet embroidered with a few red plums, thinking he had seen it somewhere.

A few sprigs of red plums, sachets, Yunwu tribe...

Putting the three seemingly unrelated things together, it pried out a small detail that Wen Xing had forgotten.

Something is about to come out.

At this time, Xie Yi took the sachet from the queen, looked back and forth, but couldn't find anything wrong.

He looked back to recall Wen Xing's sanity, and said, "Ah Xing, see if you can smell any problems."

Wen Xing stretched out his hand to take the sachet that Xie Yi handed over, and said with a helpless smile: "Your Highness, are you really a dog nose?"

Even though he said so, he obediently brought the sachet close to the tip of his nose.

They are all very ordinary spices, but they are also mixed with the cold aroma of plum blossoms.

Meixiang!

Wen Xing suddenly widened his eyes.

On the queen's birthday, Xu Yunning asked Wen Xing to give the empress a sachet in his own name. Although Wen Xing didn't remember what the sachet looked like, he was deeply impressed by the plum fragrance he inadvertently smelled.

His hand trembled slightly, almost letting the sachet fall to the ground.

The queen who was already face to face with Wen Xing was the first to notice something was wrong with him, and asked softly: "What's the matter, but there is something wrong with this sachet?"

Wen Xing's left hand, which was hidden in his sleeve, tightened, and he rudely did not answer the queen's question, but instead asked: "Empress, do you remember where you got this sachet?"

After Wen Xing's reminder, the queen realized that she didn't remember the origin of the sachet at all, she frowned and thought for a while before shaking her head.

"Can not remember."

A bitterness slipped through my heart.

Wen Xing couldn't tell what he was like now, Mu Dong's coldness broke through the charcoal fire and penetrated straight into his internal organs.

It was also because of his mother, and it was also because of his mother who deliberately threw the blame on him.

Seeing that Wen Xing did not answer for a long time, Xie Yi on the side said with concern, "Ah Xing? Why is your face so ugly?"

Wen Xing calmly pinched out a little speculation that just came up, breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his eyes and said: "This sachet was originally given to the empress in the name of the minister."

What Wen Xing said was "in the name of a minister" rather than "as a minister", Xie Yi only paused for a while and realized that it was probably similar to what happened last time.

Due to the queen's presence, Xie Yi didn't point it out on the spot and kept silent.

The queen didn't know the inside story, and thought that Wen Xing was afraid that she would be suspicious of him, and was about to speak out to comfort him, when a court lady hurried in.

"Empress, something is wrong, something happened to Concubine Mei!"

Concubine Mei, that is, the title of Xu's concubine Xie Qing's mother.

The author has something to say: the school carnival on Monday is a bit busy in the preliminary preparations, so the next one is the day after tomorrow, which is Tuesday
