Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Tao Ji responded.

"The medicinal powder is buried in the mud, so it's hard to identify it. Concubine Xu's guess is unreasonable. Most of the poisons that make people mad will also add a lot of other medicinal materials. When they are combined, the toxicity can take effect."

Seeing this, Li Cong also hurriedly said: "Father! His Royal Highness Wang An will never hurt Princess An. He found his sons and concubine mother to verify the recipe, and it is precisely because he is worried that the recipe will harm people. I saw it today, and this recipe is really not good. No, the minister and concubine mother are still testing the medicine, but there is no result for a long time, and they have not given the medicine to Princess An."

And Wang An fell to the ground, and several guards beside him hurriedly supported him.

He was sweating profusely, and a few strands of hair were clinging to the side of his face in an instant, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

It doesn't seem like a fake at all.

Seeing his pale lips, the emperor waved Tao Ji slightly.

Tao Ji hurried forward to treat King An.

Xu Yingjun's heart was strained, and he was about to step forward to check on Li Chen's situation, but the emperor said again: "How can you justify the note?"

note!

Xu Yingjun's footsteps stopped, and the first thing she did was to look at her sister Concubine Xu and the fifth prince.

Li Chen never wrote any letter asking the Fifth Prince to murder the Seventh Prince.

That note must be fake!

And Li Chen has been thrown in the fiefdom for so many years, and has little contact with everyone in the capital. The only letter that he has more contacts with is almost inseparable from Concubine Xu and Li Cong...

It is possible that the note was forged by them!

Concubine Xu was also puzzled when she saw her younger sister's eyes - they didn't prepare that strange note, and now they don't know where to start to explain it!

Li Cong faltered and couldn't speak, but looked at Li Chen who was being treated expectantly.

A faint shadow appeared in Li Chen's eyes - this fifth prince is also a piece of mud that can't support the wall!

And depending on the situation, no one knew where the note came from.

And he himself knew that his handwriting was very small!

Who can imitate!

He was in a mess.

Only Xia Bai'an in the screen tightly clenched the veil in his hand, and slowly closed his eyes - the note must have been written by Mo Che.

Thinking of the many grievances between Mo Che and Cen Yishan before, and Cen Yishan is Li Chen's man, it is not difficult to imagine that there may be some conspiracy and confrontation behind these two people.

It's just that at this time, this note can't kill Li Chen at all, but only disturbs the muddy water.

Mo Che!

What is your purpose!

In just a few breaths, the thoughts of everyone present were changing rapidly, and the atmosphere became frozen.

It wasn't until the emperor showed impatience that Li Chen suddenly let out a breath, and turned his sharp eyes to Taiwei Sun.

That gaze was as sharp and cold as a sharpened knife.

Taiwei Sun already felt that he had the chance to win, but at this moment, when he was watched, his hair was standing on end, and his voice trembled slightly.

"His Royal Highness Wang An looked at me like this, could it be that you want to say that you and the fifth prince jointly murdered the seventh prince, and that the same minister has something to do with it?"

"King An—"

The emperor reprimanded in a cold voice, prolonging the sound on purpose, the invisible oppression made the people around dare not breathe.

However, Wang An suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, pushed away Tao Ji who was treating him, and moved his stiff limbs, but he couldn't get up, so he could only lean against the table.

"This matter is indeed related to Sun Taiwei."

"What!" Sun Taiwei was furious immediately, "King An, don't just talk and slander..."

"Before and after the cold winter, there were some problems with the two waterways transported by the king. It is said that they transported a batch of amazing goods to the small towns around the capital. It was not until the king realized that something was wrong and carefully investigated it. I learned that the two problematic fleets were transporting weapons, and those weapons were goods from the black market in the city hundreds of miles away, but they were sold as scrap iron when they entered Beijing.

Li Chen's every word and every sentence is resounding.

Sun Taiwei's face became paler and paler, and even Tan Xu's pupils shrank - they clearly did not use the waterway of King An... Why would King An know about this!

After the emperor heard it, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he turned to Sun Taiwei.

Taiwei Sun was sweating all over his face, he clenched his fingers and waited for Li Chen to finish speaking.

Li Chen scoffed coldly.

"After some investigation, I found out that the final whereabouts of the scrap iron was actually Sun Taiwei's Sun family. But I know that I have been having some friction with the emperor, and I dare not tell the emperor rashly before the investigation is clear. , so... the minister took advantage of the sisterhood between the princess and the concubine Xu to suspend the matter of the folk prescription, and specially asked the fifth prince to investigate the matter in detail, and only then did I get that note."

Having said that, Li Chen deliberately paused.

From the looks of outsiders, he was resting.

But Xia Bai'an saw that he touched the back of his hand uncomfortably—he was lying and making up a story.

Since the notes are all fake, the contents inside are also obscure.

Li Chen clearly connected the matter with the Seventh Prince in reverse...

It's just that she saw Taiwei Sun's face as if he was facing a big enemy, and the rare panic on Tan Xuleng's face-the smuggling of blades might be true.But Sun Taiwei would not be so stupid as to go to King An's waterway and be discovered. Among them, Li Chen probably knew about it through other channels and dug it out as a shield.

only……

Li Chen said this to Sun Taiwei.

In the future, it will be difficult to secretly be a prince who does not contend with the world.

She analyzed the situation and deduced that Li Chen might not be easily defeated by this incident, but it was just that there would be some open and secret struggles in the future.

In this way, she retreated to the Queen Mother to reassure her.

Li Chen has also sorted out the story and continued.

"To be honest, Your Majesty. The town where Sun Taiwei smuggled weapons is within ten miles from the place where he came from this outing. His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince knows about this, so I'm afraid he will arrange for the Seventh Prince and Sun Taiwei to do something , so I followed closely in the forest.

However, Sun Taiwei was able to hide the weapon in private, and some of the goods are just different in weight, although I haven't investigated it yet... Now that I think about it, the fierce tiger in the forest, and the relics of the dead fifth prince and concubine happened to be clues..."

Having said this, Li Chen suddenly covered his chest, gasping for breath and unable to continue speaking.

Tao Ji hurried back to give him the pill.

A flash of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, before Taiwei Sun could speak: "Come here, hurry up and go to the town that King An mentioned to investigate whether there is a batch of scrap iron goods that entered the town before and after the cold winter."

"Yes!"

The imperial army rushed out immediately.

Sun Taiwei and the others frowned deeply.

Xia Bai'an slowly opened his eyes at this time, but saw a familiar figure walking in from the outside.

The two looked at each other from a distance, separated by countless people, and their eyes met.

Mo Che seemed to have always known what Xia Bai'an was worrying about.

From a distance, Mo Che made a gesture of turning the page towards her, and then made a gesture of silencing her——

Don't break the note.

However, Xia Bai'an had goose bumps all over his body.
