That night, after everyone left, Yan Zhuangze came to the prison again alone.

Swiping away the jailer who was about to follow, Yan Zhuangze came to the cell where Concubine Xian was being held alone, looked at the woman lying on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Concubine Xian, I'm here."

Concubine Xian raised her head slowly when she heard the commotion, and looked at Yan Zhuangze with a smile as usual: "Here we come." The calm tone seemed not to care that she was in a cell now, if there was no A faint sense of madness.

Yan Zhuangze looked at her quietly. He will come back alone again tonight, not only because he doesn't want Concubine Xian's stupid words to be heard by others, but since he and Chi Jin are allies for the time being, he won't let Chi Jin do it for nothing was said.

What's more important is that Concubine Xian's pawn is still useful. After all, she is from the Qing Kingdom, but how to use it still needs to know some situations and things. After what happened before, now he can only ask questions.

Before Yan Zhuangze could speak, Concubine Xian slowly got up from the ground, and with difficulty changed into an elegant sitting posture, her voice was soft and ethereal but extremely firm: "Your Majesty must be curious why the concubine is so sure that Concubine Jin is pregnant. , if the concubine's guess is correct, that child should not be yours."

As if she was talking about something funny, she covered her lips with her hands and laughed softly. She seemed to smell the blood and musty smell on the dirty sleeves. The concubine's smile stopped halfway, and she put her sleeves away as if nothing had happened. down.

Yan Zhuangze frowned unhappily, and didn't care about her framing Concubine Jin. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just a calculation for the empress and concubine to compete for favor. He directly asked in a deep voice, "What task did the Qing Kingdom give you?"

However, Concubine Xian ignored what he said, and continued to conclude on her own: "It must not be yours, you have never slept together, Your Majesty, what I said is right?"

Yan Zhuangze's eyes darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Stop trying to divert the conversation, I'm the one asking you now, you just need to answer."

However, Concubine Xian continued to pretend to be deaf as if she hadn't heard his words, refusing to answer any questions about Qingguo, and continued to be silent in her own world: "Which man can tolerate his woman having an affair with others? "

After finishing speaking, she still looked at Yan Zhuangze with a smile, and asked weakly: "Is that so, Your Majesty? The concubine was at the hunting ground that night, but she saw a man come out of Concubine Jin's room with her own eyes. It was not just this time."

Concubine Xian lied without panic, since there was no way to verify it anyway, she immediately exaggerated the facts and said: "There was another time in the palace, and a man came out of Concubine Jin's bedroom, and I don't know what he did."

A mouse screamed "Zhizhi" and hurriedly ran between the two, as if mocking the fact that Yan Zhuangze had become a cuckold. The temperature in the prison seemed to have dropped a little.

Yan Zhuangze's patience was exhausted little by little, and the aura around him suddenly dropped, and he said coldly, "What is Qingguo's message to you? Is there any secret signal?"

Concubine Xian didn't seem to notice half of it, and she reminded nervously: "Why is the adulterer with the guard always there, but he was executed, does the emperor still remember? Don't forget."

Yan Zhuangze looked at her coolly, and said: "Of course I remember, you don't have to talk about him anymore, what is going on with Concubine Jin is not something you can decide on just one word."

"In a word, the emperor really trusts Chi Jin, but...the seed of doubt has already been planted in the emperor's heart, isn't it?" Concubine Xian smiled triumphantly, raised her eyebrows and looked at Yan Zhuangze without showing weakness.

She is sure that the emperor is suspicious, as long as Chi Jin is not really pregnant, he will be caught one day!

Yan Zhuangze snorted coldly, the last bit of patience was exhausted, just now was the last chance he gave Concubine Xian, and also the greatest tolerance, since she is so ignorant, don't blame him for being cruel.

In the army back then, both he and Yan Xingche were famous murderers, but they restrained themselves when they sat on the throne, but the essence never changed.

Seeing Concubine Xian's ignorant repentance, he raised his voice, "Come here! Take her to the execution room."

As soon as the words fell, the jailer who was waiting outside quickly ran in, opened the cell door and roughly dragged Concubine Xian up to the execution room.

Concubine Xian was dragged up softly, her legs were as heavy as if filled with lead, and there was a rustling sound as they dragged on the ground.

At the same time, the last memory in her mind was dusted with Yan Zhuangze's questioning. At that time, when she first arrived in Yan State, she was dazzled by the prosperity of Yan State, and was also fascinated by this heroic but very cold man. Fascinated, she thought that this man must belong to her, and threw herself at him with all her heart.

Now, let those memories be dusty, so silly.

Two hours later, Yan Zhuangze came out of the execution room, took out a handkerchief and wiped his bloody fingers, and said a little tiredly, "Change her to a clean and ventilated cell, and add some equipment."

Jailer: "Yes."

When Yan Zhuangze quietly returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the sky had already been brightened. He frowned and lay down on the dragon bed to rest for a while. Someone came from the Tai Hospital, and he hurriedly dressed and got up to go out.

The imperial doctor waited in the main hall, and after saluting cautiously, he held the small wooden box in both hands and said, "My Majesty, this pill is not a fragrant pill, but a kind of pill that can paralyze people's brain, make people hallucinate and hurt the body." Drugs that become stimulant, and at the same time can make people fall asleep, that is... happy in dreams, but there is no harm to the body, but long-term use will lead to lack of energy."

Everyone here understands the meaning of lack of energy. For a while, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was strangely quiet. Everyone knew that Concubine Xian was arrested because of this pill. It was not harmful to be found out at this time. Maybe it was just the concubine's wish It's just a trick to win favor, then... Isn't Concubine Xian wronged?Was he imprisoned for nothing?

Everyone looked at their noses and noses and their hearts, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

After a while, Yan Zhuangze said: "Go down, you also go down."

Everyone: "Yes."

It's just a pill, it doesn't explain anything, Yan Zhuangze waved everyone away lightly, sat at the desk and picked up today's memorial to review.

Not long after, the dark guards sent out last night also returned.

Under the pressure, the dark guard bit the bullet and said what he had found: "Master, the box of pills did come from Jinyi Palace, and there was indeed such a wooden box from Jinfei Empress, but before that, someone saw Xian The palace servants in the concubine's palace have been to Jinyi Palace, and what they gave away seems to be that box of pills."

"Is there any more?" Yan Zhuangze put down the memorial, and as he thought, it was concubine Xian's scheme, and asked, "Have you seen it in Concubine Xian's palace?"

Ever since concubine Xian was arrested, her palace has been sealed off, only allowed to enter but not to exit, it is very easy to check a person.

The secret guard cupped his hands and said: "The subordinate went down to the maid's room to check, and the maid was lying on the bed with bruises all over her body, she was unconscious and seemed to have a fever..."

"Wait." Yan Zhuangze interrupted with a frown: "What is the identity of the maid?"

"The maid is the maid who used to be a sweeper in the palace, and was later assigned to the palace of concubines."

He Chang was in the palace, Yan Zhuangze remembered it very clearly, he deliberately assigned the problematic maid to the palace of concubines, one was a spy of the Qing Dynasty, and the other was a minion of the Chi family, so they could be seen together What happened, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

According to the results of the secret guard's investigation, it can be preliminarily guessed that the box of pills was given to Chi Jin by the hand of the maid from the Chi family.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that all of this was planned by Concubine Xian, and the palace lady just suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

But Yan Zhuangze was still inclined to the previous guess about the news of bruises all over his body, but now the question came again, why did the Chi family send this kind of pill into the palace?

Or is this what Chi Jin asked the Chi family for?What is the purpose?

It's not easy to think about it this way. It involves the Chi family, or do those people have any new plans?Yan Zhuangze knocked on the wooden handrail with some headaches, making a rhythmic muffled sound, and said to the half-kneeling guard beside him, "Go down first."

Dark Guard: "Yes."

After the dark guard left, Yan Zhuangze looked at the empty Hall of Mental Cultivation, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Chi Jin took this pill because he didn't want to go to bed, or because... he wanted to use this to disguise the child as Prince?"

As long as he took the pill and had the hallucination of having slept together, would it be logical to push the child in his stomach to him?

Yan Zhuangze had to admit that he was indeed subtly influenced by Concubine Xian's words, and he couldn't help but imagine that Chi Jin really had it, so as to analyze the purpose of the pill.

If the starting point is at the Chi family, why did the Chi family send this pill?Help Chi Jin solidify?This also seems to make sense.

Yan Zhuangze pondered for a moment, out of caution to the Chi family, he decided not to tell Chi Jin about this, and let Lin Yongquan, who was waiting outside, come in, and ordered: "You go and ask Concubine Jin to come and accompany me for lunch at noon. Meal, ask the imperial dining room to prepare meals and cakes, the pastries should be sour, and the meals should be made of heavy crab oil..."

It is still unknown whether this is a frame-up by concubine Xian or a conspiracy by the Chi family, so he can only observe in secret. If Chi Jin is innocent, he will personally apologize to Chi Jin for his suspicion.

Over there, after Chi Jin received the message, he came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation as usual.

He was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation seemed a little different today. Seeing the palace people leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation silently and orderly, Chi Jin didn't think too much about it, and only attributed the anomaly to the arrest of Concubine Xian yesterday. one thing.

Sitting on the side table as usual, the Hall of Mental Cultivation prepared more cakes today. In addition to jujube cake, there are three kinds of cakes. They are exquisite in workmanship and unique in shape, and they all taste sweet and sour. like very much.

Involuntarily, he ate too much. Yan Zhuangze had been secretly observing his performance, and asked, "Does Concubine Jin like it? I thought you like sweet and sour pastries, so I asked the imperial dining room to prepare a few more. .”

Chi Jin was naturally happy: "I like it, it's moderately sweet and sour, and it's all delicious."

Yan Zhuangze nodded, and told himself that a few plates of pastries couldn't explain anything. Chi Jin had always liked sweet and sour things.

He didn't think about it any more, and settled down to deal with the memorial. According to the reply from the sent person, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River had begun to appear, and some people had already been homeless, but he didn't see the relevant information in the memorial.

I don't know if the local officials didn't intend to report it, or if it was passed on to Yancheng and was suppressed by someone with a heart.

The two of them were doing their own thing just like in the past, without interfering with each other, the time passed quickly, and it was lunch time.

Yan Zhuangze glanced at Chi Jin indifferently, and then said to Lin Yongquan who was guarding the gate outside: "Chuan Shan."

At this moment, Chi Jin didn't know anything about what was going on, and rubbed his stomach naively. He was already very hungry, and his appetite was getting bigger and bigger recently, and he wanted to eat four meals a day.

Looking at the entrance of the hall with full expectation, it didn't take long for the maids to come in with covered porcelain plates. At this time, they were so cute in Chi Jin's eyes!Until they all lifted the lid on the plate.

Suddenly, a strong stewing smell came, and Chi Jin frowned slightly, held his breath in secret, his face gradually turned pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked bitterly at the delicious food on the table, as if watching What class enemies.

Yan Zhuangze, who was secretly observing him, also had darkened eyes, but seeing that Chi Jin's face was slightly pale, he still couldn't bear to say: "Can't you smell these heavy oils? I'll ask someone to remove them."

It's just food, there are factors of personal preference, and it can't really prove anything, it's because he wanted to go wrong.

Chi Jin waved his hands again and again and said, "I'm fine. Although I don't like it, I can still smell it. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

It has been almost a month since I was pregnant with the cub, and the nausea reaction is getting weaker and weaker. Now I will not vomit immediately when I smell the oil, and I can pass it if I bear it.

Seeing his sincerity in his voice, Yan Zhuangze smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and moved the plates of flavorful dishes to a distance, and said firmly, "There will definitely be no next time."

Yan Zhuangze completely let go of his doubts. To express his apology, he picked up chopsticks and personally picked up a piece of bland fish for Chi Jin: "Let's eat."

Chi Jin smiled gratefully, took a light breath, and felt that the smell of oil in the air didn't seem so bad anymore.

Still smelling a strong fragrance, Chi Jin looked salivatingly and disgusted at several heavy oil dishes not far away, his lowered eyes were full of entanglements.

It's really uncomfortable to just watch but not eat, let alone his favorite crab next to him, it's a pity that the crab is cold and can't be eaten.

Chi Jin's chopsticks passed over the crab and meat several times, and finally stopped on a plate of steamed fish in front of him in pain, and stopped thinking about those dishes while eating.

Yan Zhuangze ate slowly, and from the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw the tangled face on Chi Jin's face, and the chopsticks that skipped the heavy oil several times, and smiled and sympathized in his heart.

Remembering that Chi Jin couldn't eat these foods because of his health, he couldn't help but be concerned: "Take good care of your body, and you can eat anything when you're healthy."

Yan Zhuangze looked at Chi Jin with great interest as he watched a plate of crabs ready to move, and found it very funny and amusing. Chi Jin's temperament really caught his eye as always.

Seeing that Chi Jin was eating deliciously, Yan Zhuangze also took a piece of fish meat, and was about to put it in his mouth, when he suddenly thought about it, isn't this just like what Concubine Xian said, don't eat oily things, don't eat cold food things?Mingming's eyes were full of desire to eat, but he bypassed it this time.

For a while, Yan Zhuangze fell into deep thought, which result is the right one?Are concubine Xian's words groundless?

Yan Zhuangze had to admit that Concubine Xian's scheme had succeeded. If he hadn't suddenly made up his mind to find an excuse to imprison Concubine Xian, I believe Chi Jin would be imprisoned now.

Seeing Chi Jin bypassing those dishes that pregnant women could not eat again, the smile in Yan Zhuangze's eyes gradually faded, and a layer of confusion was tainted.

For a moment, even he became uncertain.

What if Chi Jin is really as Concubine Xian said?

On the one hand, he and Chi Jin have no relationship, let alone the reality of a husband and wife. It stands to reason that he has no control over Chi Jin's personal feelings, but if Chi Jin wants to do such an outrageous thing during their cooperation, it cannot be tolerated.

If all Chi Jin did was to confuse him and keep the child, then he didn't know people clearly this time, and was played by a woman in the applause, which made him feel a little restless.

Just imagine, if he let Chi Jin out of the palace in the end, allowing her to form a family with another man, and even a child in her stomach, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But if he didn't let Chi Jin out of the palace, or if Chi Jin planned something before leaving the palace, as long as he took the pill, would the child be able to shirk it on him?

Maybe this is also in the Chi family's plan?Have you already made up your mind to be the next emperor?This cannot be tolerated.

At that time, the fake dragon species will change its name to the real dragon species, and what should Jing Chi think, maybe he will leave angrily...

The more he thought about it, Yan Zhuangze's heart sank a little bit. He took a deep look at Chi Jin, who was eating well, and decided to give her one last chance to ascertain the facts.

He said that good people are not wronged, but no one with different hearts will be spared either.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhuangze put down his chopsticks and waited quietly for Chi Jin to finish eating.
