An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

Finally, she found a small medicine bottle in a horseshoe-shaped lime jar in the corner of the attic. The medicine bottle was still stained with a powder-like substance. The upper layer was wetted with water and stuck to the bottle, and there was some dry powder in the lower layer.

An Lingrong poured out the powder and smelled it carefully with her fingertips. It smelled like sulfur, more like the powder from firecrackers, and was mixed with some white substances. She was sure it was not a poisonous substance.

After hearing Wen Shichu's conclusion that Concubine Duan was poisoned, the emperor became so angry that he wanted to pull out all the maids and eunuchs in Xianyue Pavilion and kill them with sticks. The young Wen Yi threw herself into the emperor's arms, shook her head and called to the emperor. Don't kill anyone. The emperor's heart softened, so he punished the maids and eunuchs with twenty sticks each, leaving only the maid Ji Xiang to serve Concubine Duan.

An Lingrong checked everything in Duan Fei's palace, large and small, and found nothing wrong. Only two large boxes were left unchecked. According to Ji Xiang, they were sent by Cao Guiren and Bao Juan. Yes, the lid of a big box was opened. It contained all kinds of weird snacks. Wen Yi had been tinkering in the box for a long time. The food residue was scattered all over the floor. Another big box contained Wen Yi's clothes. , there are many newly made clothes in all seasons, and there is nothing inappropriate.

An Lingrong looked suspicious and groped in the pile of clothes. Suddenly she was blocked by something. There was something hard in the soft and round shape. An Lingrong quickly opened the pile of clothes and searched carefully. She saw a familiar figure. Thing, isn't that the fox-tailed toy that Xia Ruchun made when she assassinated the noble Fu Cha? Fortunately, Xia Ruchun and Qin Sanyue knew about this, but Baojuan did not.

Then why was it that when she pressed this little toy with five fingers, her palm was almost pricked and bled. An Lingrong put his fingers in his mouth and bit them twice to relieve the discomfort.

This person's Wen Yi hurried over, grabbed the suspicious tail hair and snatched the toy away, shouting: "Ms. An, you can't take my toy, it was given to me by the third elder brother. Foxtail, I got it from the competition, Emperor Ama, look." Wen Yi proudly showed off the toy in her hand to the emperor.

An Lingrong's heart was awe-inspiring. Everything she had arranged was just as planned, making slow but progress.

Wen Yi swiped his hand lightly, and the fox tail hairs swept across the emperor's skin. The emperor felt discomfort, he frowned slightly and asked Wen Yi to give him the toy.

Wen Yi was obedient and well-behaved. He dragged the toy and placed it in the emperor's hand. The emperor's hand tightened and his frown deepened. An Lingrong quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, please check it for me."

In front of the emperor, An Lingrong used a rather unfamiliar method of removing stitches to take apart the toy's appearance layer by layer. She removed a total of more than a dozen layers of fabric before and after, and finally spread out on the table was a The little human head is covered with a familiar white cloth, and the cloth is densely covered with tiny silver needles.

An Lingrong's expression changed again and again. She turned to look at the emperor. The emperor's eyes were extremely cold and he shouted: "Su Peisheng, arrest everyone in Xianyue Pavilion!"

An Lingrong stood up suddenly and stepped forward to hug Princess Wen Yi, who was pushed away by the emperor angrily. She held Wen Yi tightly in her arms.

Su Peisheng quickly asked people to control the slaves in Xianyue Pavilion, but Wen Yi was still crying and clamoring to get the toy. An Lingrong dragged Wen Yi back, and the emperor left a room full of slave guards. With heartache in his eyes, he sat in front of the bed and held Concubine Duan's hand tightly, but could not say a word.

Concubine Duan burst into tears instantly, shook her head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you are a concubine. Wen Yi is still young. Don't arrest the servants in front of her. I have been slaves in the palace for many years and they have been loyal to their duties. It’s impossible to frame me.”

The emperor nodded slightly and said: "I will wait until I find out more about it. If someone dares to murder a concubine like this in the palace, it is a provocation to me. I will definitely get to the bottom of it and punish the murderer severely."

The emperor told Wen Shichu to use the best medicine to cure Concubine Duan, but An Lingrong had already comforted Princess Wen Yi. Just when Cao Guiren heard the news, she rushed over immediately. She hugged Wen Yi in fear and said: "Wen Yi, you Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere? Is there any discomfort? Tell me."

Wen Yi was already startled by the momentum of the scene. Now Cao Guiren was shaken from side to side and began to cry. He said that Su Peisheng had taken away his toy. Cao Guiren lowered his eyebrows and the emperor turned his head and stared closely. Cao Guiren asked: "Cao Guiren, is this a toy you gave to Wen Yi?"

Cao Guiren took another stuffed rabbit toy, put it in Wen Yi's hand and coaxed: "Wen Yi, don't cry, don't you like this toy the most? Take it quickly."

When the emperor saw that Cao Guiren did not answer his words directly, he shouted angrily with a frosty face: "An Guiren, take Wen Yi outside immediately. I have something to see Cao Guiren."

Cao Guiren forced herself to stay calm, her hands were shaking slightly, and she refused to let go of Wen Yi's hand. It took a lot of effort for An Lingrong to drag Wen Yi out of her arms, hinting to her with her eyes that Wen Yi would It's okay.

Cao Guiren knelt in front of the emperor, facing the little figure that was peeled off like an onion, and softly defended himself: "Your Majesty, this is the last time in the imperial garden, Wen Yi raced with a group of children such as Third Brother As a prize, Wen Yi was running fast at that time, so the third elder brother gave her this toy as a prize. She liked it very much, but she didn't know that there was a lot of mystery in it. "

The emperor was still angry and said: "You said you didn't know there was a big mystery here. As long as I use a little force, I can feel something hard. Aren't you afraid of hurting Wen Yi if you give her a toy like this?"

Cao Guiren lowered his head and said, "I usually see Wen Yi playing with the fox tail with a rope. It was my concubine who was negligent. But this thing was not made by my concubine. It was obtained from Concubine Qi."

The emperor immediately asked Su Peisheng to call Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was confused and was still in the dark. She took a look and said: "Your Majesty, how long ago it was. It was just a toy. How did it become a weapon that can harm people?" Cao Guiren, what on earth do you want to do? Wen Yidu is so old, why don't you know how to accumulate virtue for your children? Your Majesty, when the third elder brother picked up this thing in the imperial garden, he said it was the dog of Fucha Gui's family. Yes, dogs can bite. The concubine has seen it. It is soft inside and does not sting. It is obviously manipulated later. Your Majesty, they want to frame the concubine. They also ask the emperor to make the decision for the concubine. .”

The emperor had a splitting headache. He blamed Cao Guiren and took out Concubine Qi and Third Brother. Now he said that it was Gui Fucha's dog that did the good deeds!

The emperor said angrily: "This is obviously man-made, how could it be pointed at a dog? It is extremely ridiculous!"

Concubine Qi said seriously: "Back to the emperor, if the concubine is responsible for the things he picked up, the concubine will naturally accuse the noble Fucha. Although it is a dog, but the owner of the dog did not take good care of it, then Fucha will be held accountable. Noble man."

The emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak. He ordered Su Peisheng to call the noble Fucha again and bring in the cute fluffy dog. After the emperor showed his power, the noble Fucha shivered with fear, so she said to him The dog asked softly: "Wangmi, where did you get the fox tail toy you picked up in the Royal Garden last time? Tell me quickly, otherwise you and I will be punished."

The dog barked at the emperor and the concubines several times, and the emperor shouted angrily: "Get them all out, Su Peisheng, hurry up, out of sight is out of mind."
