He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

There is no enmity between the imperial dining room and Prince Ling's house, and he would not do such a thing to kill the nine clans.

The emperor has many things to do every day, and he also has to deal with so many concubines in the harem. Xie Jingyan doesn't believe that the emperor will think of the emperor and his ministers having fun together after eating a plate of good cakes, so someone must be reminding him.

The colorless and odorless poison is still hidden in the cakes. Even a silver needle cannot detect it. This is definitely not something that the pastry makers in the imperial kitchen can come up with. To have such a method, he and Shen Wan would not be able to survive even if they had ten lives. .

This must be an elaborate design.

In the past, he lived in a wheelchair all day long and would not threaten anyone. No one would keep an eye on him, so naturally they would not bother to plant spies in his house. To plot against them, they could only start from the outside and poison them. It was not easy. He could only take advantage of the opportunity given by the emperor to give him cakes. In addition, he had Doctor Tao sitting in Prince Ling's palace. He was even more careful about what Prince Cheng ate, let alone them themselves. They would not be able to avoid Doctor Tao's inspection, so he prepared it for them. Colorless and odorless, the poison is invisible even to Dr. Tao.

Everything is intertwined. If Shen Wan hadn't been vigilant and Dr. Tao's family was blessed with good fortune, today would never have been as simple as the death of a dog.

Xie Jingyan believed that giving cakes was a step in the poisoning process. He wanted to start the investigation from here. Duke Yuan was fair, "When the cakes were delivered from the imperial kitchen, Concubine Zheng happened to come to the imperial study. It was she who suggested that the emperor give cakes to the officials..."

But there is no reason for Concubine Zheng to harm Prince Ling and Concubine Ling.

Prince Ling and Princess Ling had no grievances against Concubine Zheng. Killing them would not do Concubine Zheng any good.

However, when Concubine Zheng tasted a piece of cake, she praised it very well. It was indeed a bit unusual for the emperor to give hundreds of officials.

The emperor said solemnly, "The story is about Concubine Zheng."

Let’s talk about Concubine Zheng. Concubine Ling almost burped after eating the cake given by the emperor. The father-in-law who sent the message arrived, “The emperor has summoned Concubine Zheng to the imperial study.”

Concubine Zheng was shocked.

The emperor rarely summoned his concubines to the imperial study. Once summoned, there must be something going on.

But why did the emperor summon her?

Concubine Zheng felt a trace of uneasiness in her heart. She didn't dare to keep the emperor waiting for a long time, so she quickly stood up.

The weather was too hot. When Concubine Zheng walked to the Imperial Study Room, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She wiped it randomly twice and stepped into the Imperial Study Room. She felt that the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was gloomy, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger. .

Concubine Zheng didn't know what she was afraid of. She didn't harm Prince Ling and Concubine Ling, so there was no reason to feel guilty.

She calmed down, stepped forward, and bowed to the emperor, "I wonder why the emperor summoned his concubine...?"

The emperor's face was cold, "Today you suggested that I give the officials cakes. Was it your own intention or was it someone else's instigation?"

Concubine Zheng was stunned.

No one who can sit in the position of a noble concubine is stupid. Concubine Zheng immediately realized that the emperor suspected that she had put medicine in the cake and poisoned Prince Ling and Princess Ling.

Concubine Zheng said in fear, "It's my own wish, but even if I borrow a few courages from me, I would not dare to murder Prince Ling and Princess Ling."

Xie Jingyan looked at Concubine Zheng, "Do you really mean what Concubine Zheng means?"

Concubine Zheng's eyes were a little dodgey.

The emperor saw it and immediately slapped Long An and said, "Say!"

Concubine Zheng was already feeling guilty. The emperor suddenly slapped the table. Concubine Zheng was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Really, it's really my concubine's wish..."

The emperor asked, "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is?"

Concubine Zheng's face turned pale.

She knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "I dare not deceive the emperor. I bribed a maid in the queen's palace. When the queen was copying Buddhist scriptures yesterday evening, the maid said that in previous summers, the queen would remind the emperor to give mung beans to all officials. Soup and other things to relieve the summer heat. This year, Phoenix Seal is in charge of my concubine. I asked the queen if she wanted to remind me, but the queen didn’t respond. The maid whom I bribed quietly reported this to me..."

"I came to see the emperor today just to remind him that by chance, a cake came from the imperial kitchen. I saw that the cake had the effect of relieving the summer heat, so I suggested that the emperor give the officials cakes to show the emperor's great kindness."

"Everything I said is true. If you don't believe the emperor, you can ask the maids in the queen's palace."

For fear of being misunderstood by the emperor, Concubine Zheng could not help but confess that she bribed the maids in the Queen's Palace.

Bribing people in the Queen's Palace, the Emperor knew that she would definitely be punished, but it was not better than asking the Emperor to believe that she was the one who murdered Prince Ling and Princess Ling. It was the lesser of two evils.

The emperor's face was very long.

As one of the few people who knew that Empress Song wanted to harm Shen Wan, Eunuch Yuan saw through Empress Song's plan at a glance. This showed that Empress Song had long known that the maid was a concubine Zheng, and deliberately asked the maid to send a message to Concubine Zheng. The imperial concubine thought she was smart, but little did she know that she had already become a knife in the hands of Empress Song.

Empress Song was banned by the emperor for copying the palace rules, but she was able to carry out such calculations easily, which is really not to be underestimated.

Concubine Zheng knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor to comment. At this time, Xiao Xizi came in and said, "Your Majesty, King Ling's guards have gone to the imperial kitchen to inquire. The summer cakes presented to the emperor in the imperial kitchen today were ordered by King Cheng. They were ordered by King Cheng a few days ago. The king went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. He heard that the Queen Mother had lost her appetite due to the hot weather, and the pastries sent by the imperial kitchen were sweet and greasy. The Queen Mother did not like to eat them. King Cheng ordered the Imperial Kitchen to make some summer pastries for the Queen Mother to eat..."

King Cheng asked the imperial kitchen to make some pastries to relieve the heat for the Queen Mother to eat. This would only make people think that he was filial, but would not suspect that there was something wrong.

The emperor and Eunuch Yuan didn't know, but Xie Jingyan knew that King Cheng was looking for Xie Jingyin, the king of Jin.

King Cheng asked the imperial kitchen to make pastries to relieve the summer heat, and Empress Song used Concubine Zheng to persuade the emperor to give pastries to the officials. The two people seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they cooperated seamlessly.

Xie Jingyan's eyes were as cold as frost. He knew that Empress Song and King Cheng wanted their lives, but there was nothing they could do without evidence.

Mo Yuxuan.

Shen Wan was so frightened and worried that Xie Jingyan would anger the emperor that she had no appetite for lunch.

Haitang came in with a tray. There were a lot of jewelry on the tray. She showed it to Shen Wan and said, "I have selected these jewelry from the warehouse. Do you think it's feasible for the princess?"

The poisonous cakes frightened Miss Tao and Mrs. Tao. Shen Wan felt guilty and asked Haitang to go to the warehouse to pick out some jewelry and send them to Miss Tao and Mrs. Tao to calm their shock.

Shen Wan glanced over and saw that Haitang actually picked out a lot, including three gold hairpins. However, Shen Wan felt that it was not enough to express her apology, so she asked Haitang to also take the mutton-fat jade bracelet from her dressing box. Pack it in a brocade box and send it away.

Then he told Yin Shuang, "Let Chef Li make an extra batch of pastries and send them to the Tao Family Courtyard."

Haitang went to deliver jewelry, and Dong'er came in and said, "Princess, the emperor has promoted Wang Zhaoyi, the biological mother of the eighth prince, to concubine Shu..."

"The emperor also took back the phoenix seal given to Concubine Zheng and gave it to Concubine Wang Shu."

Shen Wan, "...???"
