The hero bends down

"Qu Xuan, what's going on?" Long Yi asked again.

Concubine Xuan hesitated for a while, and then said: "Report to the emperor, this concubine has something important to report to the emperor today, so I will wait in the Hall of Mental Cultivation first. Unexpectedly, Sister Zhong is also in the hall. Concubine and Sister Zhong have a few words If they don’t agree, there’s a reason to make a fuss.”

What she said was generous and decent, and Long Yi didn't want to blame her for anything, so he just glanced at Zhong Su lightly.

Zhong Su remained on the side, didn't say anything, as silent as air.

Long Yi thought carefully, and said: "I have a special order before, and no one else is allowed to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation." Halfway through his words, Concubine Xuan knelt down, and wept, "Your Majesty, forgive me, my concubine. I really have something important to report to the emperor, and for some reason I lost my manners, I implore the emperor to appease his anger."

Seeing the concubine kneeling on the ground, the emperor sighed, leaned over and held Concubine Xuan's hand, and said: "Get up, the concubine is my beloved concubine, and I have no intention of really punishing my concubine."

The voice he spoke was soft and light, which warmed Concubine Xuan's heart, and all the previous worries disappeared.

The woman stood up gracefully, and glanced vaguely at Zhong Su out of the corner of her eyes.

Seeing the emperor pampering the noble concubine, Zhong Su's expression finally changed, his brows were slightly frowned, thinking about something.

On the other hand, Ji Munian looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if he didn't see anything, he was even more like a piece of wood than before Zhong Su.

Seeing Zhong Su frowning like this, thinking that this person was jealous of the emperor's favor, Concubine Xuan smiled secretly, and even the resentment of being beaten by Zhong Su before disappeared.

What the women in the harem want is the emperor's sympathy.

While helping Concubine Xuan, Long Yi also observed Zhong Su with one eye.After he straightened Qu Xuan, he shouted in a deep voice, "Zhong Su."

Zhong Su looked at Long Yi with bright eyes.

"Zhong Su!" Long Yi shouted again.

Zhong Su still stared at him intently.

"Zhong Su, you still don't kneel down to the imperial concubine!" Long Yi saw that the woman was stubborn, so he had to wake up again.

On the contrary, Zhong Su's eyebrows frowned even deeper, staring at Long Yi and said, "Why did Zhong Su kneel?"

"Contempt the etiquette in the palace and fight privately; disregard the honor and bully the concubine." Long Yi counted Zhong Su's two crimes and said, "Zhong Su, don't forget, you are just a beauty."

"..." Zhong Su was still standing upright. Just when Long Yi thought that this person was going to disobey his will again, the woman suddenly lowered her eyes, her eyes were covered by thick eyelashes, she couldn't see her expression clearly, and her knees slumped. Slowly kneel down to the ground.

"Zhong Su shouldn't have offended the imperial concubine, I hope that the imperial concubine will forgive me." He still spoke word by word.

Long Yi didn't know what was going on in her heart, he breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and said to Concubine Xuan: "Don't be angry, Xuan'er, Miss Zhong was just frightened yesterday, and her words and deeds became more intense for a while."

Concubine Xuan made a play every time and said, "Where will it be?"

At the end, she frowned again and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for asking more questions, what happened yesterday?"

Long Yi said calmly: "I have ordered people to block the news about yesterday's incident." He paused and said, "But my Xuan'er is a smart person, you should know about this."

Concubine Xuan was surprised and said: "The concubine heard that the emperor and sister Xiuyi went to Yixi Garden together, and sister Xiuyi has not been seen yet, so something really happened..."

She paused in this sentence, and didn't continue, although it was a guess, but the emperor should be well aware of the following content.

Zhong Su, who was kneeling at the side, saw Concubine Xuan's hypocrisy, and he only thought about why he didn't be more serious when he just started, and taught the murderer a lesson.

He only said that a weak woman had no strength to restrain a chicken, and she only picked Delu to beat him, but he never thought that the most poisonous thing in this world is a woman's heart.

The emperor sighed sadly: "Han Xiuyi accidentally ingested poison in Yixi Garden, and he has gone there yesterday."

Concubine Xuan was surprised.

The emperor then stared at Zhong Su and said: "Zhong Mei was frightened, so I took him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to appease him."

Concubine Xuan concentrating on it.

"It's just that the murderer who poisoned Han Xiuyi has never been found." The emperor finally finished speaking.

Zhong Su was silent when he heard this, and secretly glanced at Long Yi.

Long Yi didn't shy away from Zhong Su's upright eyes, his face was neither red nor his heart beat, and he didn't appear to be lying at all, as if he was born to be a trickster, hiding all his thoughts in his heart, so that people couldn't see them.

Concubine Xuan heard the emperor's words, and then said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this concubine knows a thing or two about the murderer who poisoned Han Xiuyi."

Long Yi frowned and said, "How does Concubine Ai know?"

Concubine Xuan said: "Yesterday, my concubine wanted to go to Mingyue Pavilion of sister Xiuyi, but I didn't expect that sister Xiuyi went to Yixi Garden with the emperor." She made her voice a little sad, "The emperor also knew that Mingyue Xuan was close to the palace wall, so the concubine asked Delu to accompany the concubine to go there. Unexpectedly, by accident, he met two servants who fled."

"..."

Zhong Su originally listened to the words of Concubine Naxuan as a story, but when he heard the words Mingyuexuan and Palace Wall, he was taken aback for a moment.

Long Yi was also taken aback, thinking about the fact that he had ordered someone to monitor Zhong Su's oolong before, and unexpectedly went out of his mind by a strange accident, thinking that Zhong Su's next menstrual event would probably be coming soon.

So, the two of them thought of going together again, this matter was embarrassing, and both of them blushed at the same time.

It's just that Zhong Su's skin is thin, and his face is flushed all of a sudden, while Long Yi's skin is thick, so there is no clue.

Concubine Xuan continued: "The concubine felt that the two were suspicious, so she asked Delu to tie them up and go back to the palace to interrogate them carefully, only to find out that the two came from Yixi Garden." She raised her eyes and said to Long Yi : "Your Majesty, this concubine came here this morning just for this purpose."

The emperor felt hot on his face, and immediately came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice, "Where are these two people now?"

Concubine Xuan immediately replied: "I'm still staying in the concubine Linsheng Palace."

Seeing that the bait was taken, the emperor gave Ji Munian a look.Ji Munian understood immediately and took the order to go.

He started ordering the shadow guards to investigate the matter secretly since yesterday's accident, and now he has the physical evidence presented by Ji Munian and Zhong Su, and the fact that Han Xiuyi was poisoned can be reversed only by witnesses.

The person who poisoned him had already fled when the accident happened, and when the shadow guards found out, this person was already in Concubine Xuan's Linsheng Palace.

He blocked the news and didn't punish Zhong Su, deliberately letting Concubine Xuan know little about it, so she took the initiative to offer the poisoner.

After a while, Ji Munian led the two of them in.At this time, there were six people in the room in the palace, three standing and three kneeling.

Zhong Su was still kneeling on the ground, and the ones kneeling with him were naturally the two who were led into the room by Ji Munian just now.He recognized these two people, one was the cook of Yixiyuan, and the other was the eunuch who served the dishes of Yixiyuan.

The emperor then picked a chair and sat down and said, "Both of you belong to Yixi Garden?"

The cook and the eunuch each nodded.

The emperor looked at Zhong Su again.

Zhong Su said: "There are these two people in Yixi Garden, one is in charge of the kitchen, and the other is serving the dishes."

Seeing Zhong Su's confession, Concubine Xuan smiled secretly, keeping her expression on the surface.

The emperor said: "Who made the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Han Xiuyi ate that day?"

The two stopped talking.

Ji Munian said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the humble officials force them both to be tortured by the Shangfang Division?"

As soon as he said this, both of them trembled, and one of them said: "It's me."

Long Yi said "oh" and said, "You poisoned it?"

The man stopped talking again.

Ji Munian said again: "Shangfang Division has added a few torture instruments, which should be easy to use."

The cook immediately said: "Your Majesty, I said I said..." He paused, scanned the room for a week, and finally looked at Zhong Su tremblingly and said: "It was the beautiful lady who ordered the servant to poison."

As soon as he said this, Zhong Su squinted his eyes, Ji Munian was expressionless, and Long Yi just happened to blink.

"What poison was given?" asked the emperor.Fingers began to rub the wrench habitually.

"I don't know, but the beauty lady just handed me a packet of powder and let me throw it into the sweet-scented osmanthus powder." The cook said.

Then the emperor frowned and looked at Zhong Su and said, "Zhong Su, what's in the powder."

Zhong Su was scrutinized by the emperor, and he was not afraid, but smiled and said: "If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse." Then he turned to the cook seriously and asked, "You said I handed you a bag of powder, where am I? When did I hand you this bag of powder?"

The cook had already said something, and was about to answer, but Zhong Su added another sentence: "Dare to ask the emperor, what is the crime of poisoning and killing a concubine?"

When he was talking, he didn't look at Long Yi, but stared at the cook, without squinting, his eyes were straight and bright, the cook's scalp was numb, and he was about to swallow the words just said.

The emperor didn't answer, Ji Munian said: "Killing the emperor's relatives should be executed with a stick."

Zhong Su turned his gaze to Qu Xuan, and said indifferently: "What benefit did Concubine Xuan give you, to make you commit the crime of killing him for him?"

As soon as he said this, Concubine Xuan's expression changed, "Zhong Su, don't spout blood!"

Zhong Su blinked her eyes, did not respond to Concubine Xuan's words, and said to herself: "Maybe Concubine Xuan has some excuse to let you do things for her to frame me."

Concubine Xuan was impatient, she quickly looked at Long Yi and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense."

Long Yi laughed and said, "I think what Zhong Meiren said is indeed reasonable."

Concubine Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then came to her senses in an instant.

Long Yi said: "Concubine Xuan, you can give him anything, I can give it to you, Concubine Xuan, you can take advantage of him, I can also." He said this in a friendly voice, but Concubine Xuan gave birth to a kind of hair on the back. cool feeling.

There was no one around for this matter, only six people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine Xuan wanted to kill Concubine Qi, but she didn't know that she had entered a cage that was carefully arranged, and she didn't even have the opportunity to reveal information to the outside world.

The emperor was still smiling: "I would also like to thank Xuan'er for helping me send these two witnesses here." After he finished speaking, he lazily lay down in the chair and said, "The power of the emperor is still greater than that of Qu Yu. You two think about it carefully, and then tell me the truth."

In the end, he said: "I will promise to open an additional bargaining chip. If the two of you return to my satisfaction, you can avoid the death penalty."

The kneeling cook and eunuch hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to reveal the truth.

Concubine Xuan's face was pale, she stared at the two kneeling on the ground, watched their mouths opening and closing, but felt that she could no longer hear clearly.

Zhong Su listened to the narration of the two, and also understood the reason why Long Yi did not allow him to go out to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to collect evidence.

In this man's calculation, the evidence would have been delivered to his door in person as early as in his plan.

If you get a penny from acting, a smile or a word, and you want to catch him hard, the man has the winning ticket in his hand.
