The point of the imperial concubine's accusation was that the queen, as the legitimate mother, was unkind and used an ugly old woman to humiliate the prince. Moreover, the eighth prince was drugged with Chinese medicine and his life or death was uncertain. The murderer must be found and severely punished.

So the people in the queen's palace were crying, and the people under the imperial concubine were scolding! Half of the palace was watching the excitement.

In the Kunde Palace, the queen has been feeling unwell recently, but she has not become critically ill. But the queen wanted to see the emperor, but couldn't bear to go there by herself, so she wanted the emperor to come in person. The more the emperor didn't come, the more upset the queen became. It turned out that I would consider it, the former dynasty, the harem, the prince and the queen mother. Now the queen is already competing with the emperor. If the emperor doesn't come, her illness will get worse every day.

Concubine Meng was cursing outside. If she had been the original queen, she would have been beaten out long ago. But today there was Shu Liuyun in the queen's palace, and the eldest lady of the Shu family persuaded the queen.

She advised the queen that sometimes showing weakness appropriately might have better results.

As long as the Queen is ill, she will let the concubine's people make trouble. The bigger the trouble, the better. Then everyone will see the concubine's domineering attitude and lack of dignity. Your Majesty will not let the imperial concubine dominate the harem. If the imperial concubine's power becomes too great, the emperor will take action.

"As long as the emperor disposes of the imperial concubine, the empress can take advantage of the situation to see the emperor and restore old friendship with his majesty."

The queen believed Shu Liuyun's words and waited to see the emperor's reaction.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Jingtian heard the young eunuch saying that the imperial concubine was making a big fuss in front of the Kunde Palace, and sent him out without even raising his head.

Su Laiguang came in with a man in casual clothes, and the man knelt down not far from the imperial book case.

"What happened to Lao Ba at Shu's house yesterday?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the wines of the three nuns were indeed drugged yesterday. It has been verified that the drug was given by the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince himself was also drugged. It is the kind of drug that enhances pleasure, not some kind of drug that can be used by tigers and wolves. , there is no harm to the body. However, it has not been found out whether the Eighth Prince ate it himself or was poisoned by someone else. "

"When the incident happened, the eldest daughter of the Shu family suddenly broke into him. The eighth prince was frightened and ran out directly. He only wore a brocade quilt. The imperial doctor said that the eighth prince was frightened and had weak energy and was suffering from external cold."

"What was the prince doing at that time? And where are the people he brought with him?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the backyard study with Duke Cheng'en and the eldest son of Duke Cheng'en's mansion. Duke Cheng'en wanted the Crown Prince to ask for an order to make the seventh daughter of the Shu family the Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince did not agree. The Crown Prince's attendant Ren Gu followed the Crown Prince. In addition, The three maids were in the guest room of Shu Mansion, and the Eighth Prince had not left before the incident. And..."

"And what?" The other emperors didn't know, but the little palace maid who made the fire knew kung fu, and her kung fu was pretty good.

The emperor always believed that Xiaoba was the secret guard of Xingba in the East Palace, who was used openly by the prince.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the maids around him had never seen cooks cooking, so he asked all the cooks in Cheng'en Palace to bring their own ingredients and go to the guest courtyard to perform for his maids. So there were people in the guest courtyard until the prince left. There were nearly twenty people, and those three people were always in full view.”

"Who in the world doesn't know that his beloved concubine was born as a palace maid who kept the fire in the dining room. She has never seen a cook cooking, so she tells lies with her eyes open."

"These three people are the attractors. What else has the prince done?"

The man told Emperor Jingtian in detail about the prince's actions during the day in Shu Mansion.

Emperor Jingtian didn't hear anything wrong from it, but he could see that the Shu family's heart and appetite were getting bigger and bigger.

After the man left, Su Laiguang asked Emperor Jingtian: "Your Majesty, where are the Eighth Prince, the Queen and the Concubine...?"

"Lao Ba brought it upon himself, not necessarily because he liked someone. Either he was tricked by someone else, or he fell into someone else's trap, so don't worry about him." Emperor Jingtian never thought that it was Prince Yan Sinian who harmed Yan Hongle.

Yan Sinian had never regarded Yan Hongle as his opponent. Whenever Yan Sinian paid more attention to Yan Hongle, Emperor Jingtian would look down on his eighth son.

"What about the queen and the concubine?" Su Laiguang asked again. If the queen really fought with the concubine, it would be a big joke in the harem.

"Let the third child take the concubine away." Since Yan Sinian's identity was confirmed, the women in the harem are not even tools to the current Emperor Jingtian, the queen and the concubine are the same.

"Here!"

"Wait!" Emperor Jingtian called back to Su Laiguang, who was about to leave, "Let the prince come."

"Here!" Seeing that Emperor Jingtian had nothing else to say, Su Laiguang withdrew.

When Yan Sinian came to the imperial study, he still held in his hand the imperial decree that the queen had just sent to him.

Seeing this joke-like expression, Yan Sinian felt coldly amused. If the queen cared more about her son, she would not issue an explicit decree on this kind of thing.

Obviously, the mother and son can solve the problem by sitting together and chatting for a few words. When the time comes, the queen will accuse the prince's subordinates of being ignorant, and the prince will say a few soft words and give some benefits to the Shu family. It can also bring the relationship between mother and child closer. But the queen didn't even ask the prince, and directly issued an explicit edict, leaving no escape route for Yan Sinian.

It seems that not only Yan Hongyang, but also the Shu family are more important in the Queen's heart than her own son. This decree is obviously Shu Liuyun's idea. I think I came to the Shu family because I was unhappy that I didn't agree to their request yesterday.

Fortunately, he is not the queen's biological son. Thinking about it this way, he doesn't seem so sad.

"See you, Father." Yan Sinian saluted the emperor. He handed the Yizhi in his hand to Su Laiguang on the side.

"Please Su Banban help me deal with it."

Su Laiguang looked at the prince who had no expression on his face, as if handling a piece of random garbage, and handed over the imperial edict on behalf of the queen, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it.

The emperor sitting above seemed not to notice, and just waved Yan Sinian to him. He pushed a pile of foldable papers forward on the desk and motioned for Yan Sinian to read them.

And Su Laiguang was like holding a hot potato, neither picking it up nor throwing it away. I could only sneak out a little bit, planning to go out and deal with the things in my hands.

Yan Sinian took a brief look and found that the pile the emperor gave him was all about Jiangnan taxation and Prince Kang's palace. He had read most of them, but two of them were red-covered and should have been secret documents sent directly to the emperor.
