Shen Wan knew that Xie Jingyan came to the palace to investigate the poisoned pastries, but how could Concubine Zheng be punished?

If it was Concubine Zheng who poisoned her, it would not be as simple as taking back the Phoenix Seal. After all, the Phoenix Seal was not hers in the first place. And why was Wang Zhaoyi suddenly promoted?

Dong'er only reported two sentences, but it brought more than two doubts to Shen Wan.

Shen Wan was still guessing, but Yin Shuang had already asked, "How did the emperor promote Wang Zhaoyi?"

Yinshuang just asked casually, not expecting Dong'er to know so much. Who would have thought that Dong'er would really know.

Dong'er said, "The emperor took back the phoenix seal that Concubine Zheng was in charge of and gave it to Wang Zhaoyi. Eunuch Yuan said that Wang Zhaoyi's status was not enough. The Queen Mother might not agree, so the prince said, "It's not a small thing like Wang Zhaoyi's status." If you can stop the emperor, then the emperor will promote Wang Zhaoyi..."

Shen Wan, "..."

Not enough status...

Then raise your status to the point where you are qualified to hold the Phoenix Seal on your behalf.

In terms of the ability to solve problems, it must be the emperor.

It was Wang Zhaoyi who was stunned by the pie that suddenly fell from the sky.

When she gave birth to the eighth prince, she was only promoted to the position of Zhaoyi. For so many years, she worked tirelessly to bring food to the emperor every now and then, but she could not be promoted. With a word from King Ling, she was not only promoted to concubine Shu, but also the master of the imperial concubine. Phoenix seal?

Wang Zhaoyi was afraid that she was dreaming when she pinched herself, and she would not believe it until a palace maid pinched her.

She just couldn't dream of such a beautiful thing.

Fengyi Palace.

Empress Song is copying the palace rules.

She knew that Xie Jingyan brought the poisoned pastries into the palace to find the emperor, and she also knew that the emperor asked Concubine Zheng to question her. She was not the one who asked Concubine Zheng to suggest that the emperor give Baiguan pastries. This fire could not burn her. , so he was quite calm, but neither Shen Wan nor Xie Jingyan ate any cakes, and only poisoned a dog to death. Empress Song was greatly disappointed.

After copying a page of palace rules, the palace maid outside quickly came in and informed Queen Song about the queen's promotion to Wang Zhaoyi.

Swish.

The calmness on Queen Song's face was shattered.

His eyes suddenly turned cold.

What she worried about most finally happened.

Prince Ling is implicated by Concubine Chen and cannot directly participate in the fight for the heir. This is to support the eighth prince. The forces behind Prince Ling must really be driven by him. If he follows him to support the eighth prince, it will not be just her son Xie Jingyin competing with the eldest prince for the crown prince in the future. Instead, three people fought for the position.

Ever since Concubine Chen's accident, she had no longer paid attention to Prince Ling. She didn't expect that he would grow up to be the crown prince she was determined to win without saying a word.

Such calculations can't even kill them, they are really desperate.

……

Ever since she received the news, Shen Wan had been waiting for Xie Jingyan to return home. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Xie Jingyan came back.

Shen Wan stepped forward and asked, "Have you found out who poisoned the cake?"

Xie Jingyan said, "The pastries were made by King Cheng in the imperial kitchen for the Queen Mother. The pastries given to the officials by my father were made by Empress Song using Concubine Zheng."

Shen Wan guessed that Queen Song wanted to poison her, but she didn't expect that King Cheng was also involved.

Before, he was thinking that they would save the life of Prince Cheng. How could Prince Cheng be grateful for the kindness of saving his son? Even if he did not support Xie Jingyan, at least he would not help Xie Jingyin deal with them. But the result was good. Not only did Prince Cheng not appreciate the kindness, He even repaid kindness with hatred and helped Xie Jingyin kill them.

The more Shen Wan thought about it, the angrier she became. Compared to her, Xie Jingyan was much calmer.

He recommended Mr. Chen to be appointed as the Minister of Rites, but King Cheng strongly opposed it and strongly recommended Mr. Anding. Xie Jingyan saw this.

Their rescue of Prince Cheng will not shake Prince Cheng's determination to support Xie Jingyin.

King Cheng could even help cover up the people who poisoned his son, let alone them.

Shen Wan said depressedly, "I almost harmed Dr. Tao's family, so there's nothing we can do about them?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I have interrogated all the palace servants who have touched the pastries and food boxes, and I have not found any loopholes."

One is the biological brother of the emperor's mother, and the other is the empress whose mother respects the world.

Without conclusive evidence, it is impossible to overthrow them.

Shen Wan also knew that he was just wishful thinking.

Fortunately, no one was killed, but the dog was pitiful.

In her previous life, King Cheng was so hidden that she didn't even know that King Cheng was the one who supported Xie Jingyin behind the scenes. In this life, Xie Jingyin was pressed harder by them step by step, and they also forced King Cheng, who was supporting Xie Jingyin secretly, out of the way. She then I don’t understand why King Cheng supported Xie Jingyin instead of supporting the eldest prince along with the Queen Mother.

Does the Queen Mother know that King Cheng and she are not of the same mind?

Xie Jingyan found no evidence for today's incident and asked the emperor to punish King Cheng and Queen Song, but he did not miss the eye drops that should be given.

The emperor punished Concubine Zheng for being taken advantage of. After handing over the phoenix seal to Wang Zhaoyi, he gave him the responsibility for checking that the pastries were poisoned.

Xie Jingyan asked, "Is it still necessary to investigate this case?"

The emperor frowned, "Without evidence, I can't bring justice to you and Princess Ling."

Xie Jingyan said, "With such a meticulous plan, do you think the person behind it will leave clues for me to investigate? Uncle Cheng, on the other hand, even noticed the Queen Mother's loss of appetite, but he is very fair in court affairs. Not only The eldest prince, who was not favorably supported by the empress dowager, instead repeatedly recommended the prince of Jin. The father has been undecided about establishing a heir apparent. You can ask Uncle Cheng in front of all the civil and military officials, who is more suitable for the eldest prince or the prince of Jin? Prince."

After saying these words, Xie Jingyan resigned.

When leaving, the emperor frowned tightly.

Apparently the emperor had not noticed that King Cheng had frequently recommended courtiers in recent times, and those recommended were all people from King Jin.

King Cheng repeatedly recommended the people of King Jin to be in front, and King Cheng asked the imperial kitchen to make the cakes...

The emperor had to become suspicious.

Xie Jingyan did not expect that the emperor would believe that King Cheng was secretly supporting King Jin, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would sooner or later take root, sprout, and bear fruit.

Shen Wan gave jewelry to Mrs. Tao and the others to calm down their fright. Shen Wan was frightened because of the frightened cakes given by the emperor. Naturally, the emperor also wanted to frighten her. When Shen Wan took a nap, the emperor's reward for her fright came.

Eunuch Yuan sent two large boxes of goodies.

There were many rewards, but they could not heal Shen Wan's frightened heart. What made Shen Wan even more depressed was that there was even worse news.

After Eunuch Yuan left, Shen Wan went to the study to look for Xie Jingyan. As soon as he entered the study, a secret guard jumped out of the window and reported to Xie Jingyan, "In the case of the Meizhou granary, the people of the King of Jin found the account book for selling grain and got some grain." Shang's confession has been delivered to the King of Jin."

The Meizhou Granary Case was the key for the King of Jin to overthrow the eldest prince.

In the Xizhou Dam corruption case, the eldest prince needs to find evidence to secure his position as the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty.

Shen Wan has been thinking about which of them is better at chess and kills the other first.

In the end, Xie Jingyin was asked to find the evidence first, especially when Queen Song wanted her and Xie Jingyan's lives!

So annoying!
