An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

"Your Majesty, the chief guard in charge of this matter, Lord Feng, and Imperial Physician Zhang are waiting outside the palace." Just at this moment, Su Peisheng walked in quickly, saluted first, and then reported to the emperor.

"Come in." The emperor retracted his gaze and spoke coldly. Su Peisheng summoned the two people to come in.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty. Long live the emperor." Doctor Zhang and Feng Chi knelt together before the emperor. The emperor waved his hand, and the two looked up, but still knelt, waiting to be questioned.

"Speak." The emperor only gave one word, and Doctor Zhang responded:

"Your Majesty, Songzi was poisoned by the drug. The dose was just enough, so Songzi died on the spot." After Doctor Zhang finished speaking, the Queen covered her chest with her hands in pain, and then closed her eyes, looking very sad.

"How dare you! Who is so vicious?!" The emperor's face turned dark and he scolded coldly. The emperor was really angry.

The person who poisoned her was trying to kill her. The emperor held An Lingrong's hand tightly and glanced at the concubines below. One could hear a pin drop in the hall, and no one dared to raise their heads.

An Lingrong glanced at Lipin secretly. Lipin looked flustered, her eyes fixed on the peony-patterned carpet under her feet, her fingers tightly entangled with a silk handkerchief, not moving a muscle.

When Noble Lady Fucha saw An Lingrong's eyes fall on Concubine Li, she also looked over there slightly, only to see Concubine Li's body trembling slightly, and even beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. How could she not understand?

When An Lingrong and Noble Lady Fucha's eyes met, Noble Lady Fucha curled the corners of her lips at An Lingrong and nodded slightly to her. An Lingrong's eyes slightly turned away, and the two of them understood and looked away.

"Why is Concubine Li sweating so much? Biyun, why don't you wipe the sweat off your master?" Noble Lady Fucha spoke to break the silence, and as she spoke, she handed the silk handkerchief in her hand forward.

"I don't need it!" Lipin shouted, and opened the silk handkerchief handed to her by Fucha Guiren. Hua Fei glanced at her coldly, and then she realized that she had lost her manners in front of the palace, and hurriedly stood up and saluted to the emperor:

"I have been disrespectful, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

The emperor glanced at Lipin with disgust in his eyes. He ignored her and pointed at Feng Chi who was kneeling in the hall and said, "Tell me the result."

Feng Chi was the commander of the third-class guards guarding the Imperial Garden. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he was dressed in guard uniform, he had the elegance of a scholar. He knelt straight and listened to the emperor's words before he bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I have already taken the maids involved into custody. All evidence points to Concubine Li. Here is her confession."

After Feng Chi finished speaking, another guard came in and presented his confession.

"You're talking nonsense! You're so bold! How dare you slander me!" Concubine Li stood up and pointed at Feng Chi with a shrill look on her face.

"I dare not." Feng Chi bowed to the emperor and continued kneeling straight.

"Your Majesty! I am innocent! I have been with you for many years, and you know me best. How could I be so cruel? Songzi must have eaten something unclean somewhere else and died. Your Majesty, please look into this matter."

As Lipin spoke, she knelt before the emperor and reached out to pull his clothes, but was frightened by the emperor's cold eyes and shrank back.

"Go on." The emperor looked at Feng Chi, who bowed again and said:

"Your Majesty, when I arrived, the place where the incident occurred had indeed been cleaned up. This is my fault. But other than that, all the evidence points to Concubine Li."

The emperor frowned slightly but said nothing, so Feng Chi continued, "The second-class maidservant beside Concubine Li was the first to confess. She said that Concubine Li gave her the drug and asked her to take the opportunity to put the drug into Concubine Xia Yi's food. Because there was icing sugar in the middle of the peony roll, the maid took the opportunity to sprinkle it on it."

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't bring Meizhi with me when I went out today, so how could she have drugged someone in the Imperial Garden?!" Concubine Li suddenly straightened up and pointed at Feng Chi angrily.

"Empress Li, I did not say that the palace maid who confessed was Meizhi. How did Your Majesty know that it was she who confessed?" Feng Chi bowed to Concubine Li. Concubine Li was immediately flustered and looked at the emperor. The emperor just glared at her and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I did not instruct anyone. Songzi must have eaten something else and died. Your Majesty..."

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything and having no idea of ​​his attitude, Concubine Li insisted on this point and started crying to him again.

"You tell me." The emperor looked at Doctor Zhang, who glanced at the queen and said:

"Your Majesty, there are indeed residues of the Peony Roll in Songzi's beard and mouth. However, I cannot be sure that the poison came from the Peony Roll. After all, we only have scattered residues and cannot detect the toxins in them." Doctor Zhang said as he leaned forward.

"There were so many palace maids serving at that time, how did Lord Feng find out that it was Meizhi?" Cao Qinmo spoke at this time. Although her tone was light, it made Concubine Li's eyes light up.

"Your Majesty! Concubine Cao is right! Someone must have framed me in this matter! Your Majesty, please help me..."

Concubine Li knelt before the emperor again, feeling hopeful. Cao Qinmo's words made her feel that Concubine Hua must have a way to clear her name. After all, she had handed Zhou Ninghai over to her in the first place. If she hadn't had this bargaining chip, she would not have agreed to Concubine Hua's request.

"Your Majesty, at that time I ordered the imperial kitchen and the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving the meal to be brought in for interrogation. Among them was Mei Zhi, who was wearing the palace dress serving at the banquet. After interrogation, we learned that she was someone close to Concubine Li." Feng Chi then reported. This time the emperor glanced at Concubine Li with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Meizhi must have been bribed to frame me, Your Majesty! And Songzi, Imperial Doctor Zhang said that the thing that poisoned Songzi was not the Peony Roll at all, Your Majesty!" Concubine Li cried again, and the Emperor looked annoyed.

"Your Majesty, I am not sure and have never said such a thing." Imperial Doctor Zhang knelt down and kowtowed.

"My lady, why are your dress and shoes so dirty?" Ju Qing leaned over and whispered in An Lingrong's ear. Her voice was not loud, but the emperor heard it clearly.

After hearing this, An Lingrong hurriedly lowered her head in pretended panic, and saw that there were some crumbs on the hem of her skirt and even more on the soles of her shoes.

"Doctor Zhang, please go and take a look. I think it's the color of a peony curl." The Queen spoke at the right time, and Doctor Zhang hurried forward.

With the emperor's approval, Su Peisheng sent Fang Ruo to supervise. Ju Qing helped An Lingrong to the inner hall to change her shoes. Doctor Zhang ordered someone to bring the medicine box and take samples for poison testing in front of them.

"Your Majesty, the crumbs of the peony scroll have been filled with a lot of ecstasy." Imperial Physician Zhang reported. Anling Lingrong saw Concubine Hua close her eyes.

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Yi who slandered me. It must have been her who did it. Your Majesty, I really didn't do it! Your Majesty!" Concubine Li continued to cry.

"Your Majesty, the soles of these shoes not only have peony curls, but also moss from the edge of the deer garden. They can't be fake." Imperial Doctor Zhang started talking, and Concubine Li suddenly jumped up and slapped Imperial Doctor Zhang in the face:

"Asshole! How dare you slander me!"

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, she turned to Concubine Hua and said, "Your Majesty, please save me. I have been wronged! Your Majesty, you know me best!"
