"His Royal Highness King Jin, what did you say?" Mr. Chen's eyes widened in shock. After looking back at Tutor Lan beside him, he then turned to face King Jin: "Did someone poison the epidemic in Jinzhou?"

"Yes." King Jin raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, with a tired look on his face: "You sirs don't know, but when the epidemic in Jinzhou was at its worst, Mrs. Shen secretly left the palace and arrived in Jinzhou."

"What -" the Queen Mother's pupils trembled: "She secretly left the palace, how come no one knew about it?"

"That's right." Mr. Chen exclaimed: "When Shen was still the crown prince, the late emperor issued an order to put Shen under house arrest in Chengyi Hall. In Chengyi Hall..."

"Quickly, Queen Mother, send someone to Chengyi Hall to search for a secret passage." Prime Minister Liu sang in harmony with Mr. Chen.

Empress Dowager Liu raised her hand and ordered the imperial army to immediately go to Chengyi Hall to search.

Sure enough, the Imperial Army found a secret passage leading to the suburbs under the bed in Chengyi Hall, with a dead body inside.

The commander of the imperial army came back and reported: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, my subordinates found a female body in the secret passage of Chengyi Palace. She was wearing the clothes of a palace maid and was pregnant."

Everyone in the hall had expressions of disbelief.

The King of Jin said: "Mother, please go and ask the widower to examine the female body."

Empress Dowager Liu nodded slightly and ordered Shuntian Mansion to take the widow into the palace for an autopsy.

Not long after, the result was brought: "The Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the King of Jin, the deceased was about seventeen years old and was more than three months pregnant. She died from taking Hedinghong. The time of death was about one and a half months ago."

King Jin said: "The problem lies with this female body. Queen Mother, Shen probably escaped from the underground palace. As for the dead palace maid, it is estimated that she was the child of an affair with the imperial guards. Shen found out about it and arrested her." To replace herself, she sneaked out of the palace along the underground palace of Chengyi Palace."

"Pa!" Empress Dowager Liu slapped the table with an angry face: "Shen, this evildoer, has harmed all living beings and is unforgivable. Someone..."

"Mother." King Jin interrupted Queen Mother Liu: "Let me interrogate her personally. I want to ask her why she did this and why she harmed innocent people. Seeing the painful deaths of the people in Jinzhou, I was heartbroken. "

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I would like to petition you to go to the Cold Palace to interrogate this vicious woman Shen." Mr. Chen raised his hand and bowed his head, his face full of grief and anger, wishing he could kill Shen Lian himself.

King Jin turned back to look at Taifu Lan: "Taifu, you should also go to the cold palace with me."

Master Lan nodded with a heavy heart.

The Queen Mother appointed several important ministers and went to the Leng Palace with King Jin.

Before King Jin returned to the capital, everything was taken care of, and Shen Lian was also eagerly looking forward to King Jin's early return in the cold palace to rescue her.

The gate of Leng Palace was opened by the Forbidden Army.

Led by King Jin, a group of people walked into the cold palace in great force.

Shen Lian put on her medicine film and crawled out of the dark room holding her crooked hair.

"His Royal Highness King Jin..."

"You are finally here..."

"Bang!" The commander of the imperial army protecting King Jin kicked Shen Lian back into the house.

King Jin said: "Stop."

The commander of the Imperial Guard took a step back and bowed timidly.

The King of Jin said to the commander of the imperial army: "Prisoners cannot be lynched before the matter is clarified. Unjust feelings are revealed under torture. I am not willing to wrongly accuse anyone, and I will not let any evil person go."

His courteous and gentle temperament touched a group of courtiers behind him.

King Jin looked at the room without any candlelight, passed the guards, and was about to enter the house when the leader of the guards said worriedly: "Your Majesty, that poisonous woman has killed so many people, don't get close to her."

King Jin turned around and said to the commander of the imperial army: "She was calling me just now. It seems that she has something to explain to me. My lords, why don't you let me go in and talk to her first? If she can sincerely change her ways, say The person who is behind the scenes can also..."

His voice was choked with sobs: "It can also comfort the dead people."

"Your Highness, let Wei Chen accompany you in. Wei Chen is worried about that poisonous woman..."

"I don't close the door. If anything happens inside, the imperial army can rush in immediately. Ye Jing..."

"My subordinate is here."

"Stand guard outside the door."

"Yes."

After King Jin finished his instructions, he turned around and walked into the house.

The kick from the commander of the imperial army knocked Shen Lian unconscious. It was not until King Jin walked into the house that Shen Lian slowly woke up.

When she saw King Jin standing in front of her in purple clothes, Shen Lian suddenly got up from the ground as if she had seen a savior.

At this moment, a paper ball fell in front of Shen Lian.

Shen Lian paused, then picked up the paper ball and opened it to take a look.

The paper ball was written by the King of Jin, Shen Lian. He wanted Shen Lian to do what he said on the paper ball. As long as she took on all the charges, he would be able to rescue her from the cold palace after he successfully ascended the throne. Then he asked Shen Lian to watch. After finishing the letter, he ate the letter.

Shen Lian believed in King Jin without hesitation. After reading the paper ball, she stuffed it into her mouth and ate it.

King Jin was very satisfied with her actions. Shen Lian was indeed his most desirable chess piece.

"Shen Lian." King Jin opened his thin lips and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, who ordered you to poison the people of Jinzhou?"

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, you must save Lian'er. I don't want to stay in the cold palace." She crawled to Prince Jin's feet and reached out to grab Prince Jin's robe. This was not acting, but Shen Lian felt that her life was threatened. At that time, he sent a signal to King Jin for help.

King Jin stood in front of her, with a look of compassion for all living beings, and said calmly: "If you tell the truth truthfully, I will explain it to the ministers and deal with you lightly. The premise is that you must tell the truth, otherwise I will I can’t save you either.”

He lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a strong warning in his dark eyes.

When Shen Lian let go of his robe, he slowly removed the threat from his eyes and turned slightly. The ministers outside the room looked at the situation inside the room.

After King Jin turned sideways, everyone saw Shen Lian kneeling in the haystack with disheveled hair.

Shen Lian took what King Jin just said as a promise, readjusted her mentality, knelt on the ground, and said according to what was written on the paper: "The emperor ordered me to do it."

Shen Lian's words were like a loud thunder, exploding in the ears of the ministers with a "boom".

Taifu Lan rushed in excitedly and asked, "Why would the emperor do that?"

"Because the emperor loves my eldest sister." Shen Lian put on a ferocious face and giggled at Taifu Lan: "Taifu, you just saw that the emperor always wanted to marry my eldest sister. When he saw that my eldest sister was implicated in the ten corpses in Shen Mansion, the emperor came up with a way to poison Jinzhou. The emperor promised me that as long as I give the poison to the merchants in Jinzhou, they will let the merchants in Jinzhou take away the disease. Take him back to Jinzhou, and when the epidemic breaks out, he will ask the Shen family party to ask the late emperor for an order to send my eldest sister to Jinzhou to treat the epidemic, which will also save my father, mother and brothers."

"Pfft..." Master Lan was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot!
