I won the world for the queen

Taizhu took the order and brought all the people who had been looking for the imperial dining room for a long time. There were cooks, odd jobs, and pastry makers, all trembling and kneeling in a row.

Qi Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the expressions on the faces of all of them one by one. After examining them carefully, he found nothing unusual.

As the person who was almost killed, Zhu Yiran was also very concerned about this investigation. She first walked up to the crowd and expressed her apology with a cupped fist, and then said: "I am a rough person. I grew up in the border. I think I can be said to be diligent and conscientious, and I have been guarding the border for the country. Even if I return to the court, I usually stay for a few days and then leave immediately. I didn’t think about what provoked everyone. This incident not only threatened my life. , and also threatened the dignity of the royal family, so if this matter is not found out, I will not leave easily. Of course, there are innocent people among you, so don’t blame them.”

Zhu Yiran's words are very level. In fact, although she doesn't pay attention to etiquette in many cases, she is not the kind of vulgar person who doesn't understand anything. On the contrary, her thoughts are very delicate.

The people in the imperial dining room were already anxious to disassociate themselves, how could they have any opinion on this investigation, and quickly expressed that they would cooperate with all interrogations.

Qi Ning also nodded in satisfaction. He had just cleared up the old accounts of Dali Temple, so this time, the matter could not be completely handed over to Dali Temple. However, he was outside and had such a bad reputation, so he came forward to interrogate himself. Fortunately, Zhu Yiran would Come on, and speak impeccably.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Qi Ning looked shocked and frightened, took the tea from Tai Zhu, moistened his throat, and said: "Someone give the imperial doctor a check to see if there is any poisonous powder left."

This is the most commonly used method, in order to check whether there is any poisonous powder on the fingernails or hands of the poisoner that has not been washed off in time, but this method was useful before, but it is not much useful now.

Sure enough, the imperial physician carefully checked their nails, palms, and backs of their hands, and found no residue of poisonous powder anywhere, so he replied truthfully.

Naturally, Qi Ning knew that such an investigation would not find anything, so he continued as expected: "Then go and see if there is any place where the poisonous powder is hidden in the imperial dining room, and then go and search for them in the palace. If nothing else can be found, it will be handed over to Dali Temple for disposal.”

Qi Ning still doesn't want to make the relationship between himself and Dali Temple so stiff, since his current personality is not convenient for any investigation, he can only borrow the hands of Dali Temple.

The imperial doctor followed the guards to the imperial dining room one after another, and the people in the entire pavilion were reduced by half, and those people in the imperial dining room were still kneeling there, all of them in doubt, and began to doubt each other again.

Qi Ning just sat on it and watched them speculate on each other. At first he thought it was quite funny, but after thinking about it, why didn't he and Jiang Li get along like this?

As night fell, there were finally no clouds tonight. The moon hung high in the sky, and there were stars twinkling around from time to time. It was supposed to be a beautiful night, but people became panicked because of this terrible incident.

If there is really a problem with the imperial dining room in the harem, I am afraid that a group of people today will have to be replaced. Those who point to the people who work in the imperial dining room feel very heavy at the moment.

Zhu Yiran sat back at the banquet, since it was Qi Ning who was interrogating, she didn't want to say anything, she just kept comforting Yunli, Yunli thought that this banquet could have a good chat with Zhu Yiran to reminisce about the old days, and relax once, but Unexpectedly, something happened.

Yunli lowered her head, holding the handkerchief tightly. No matter how much Zhu Yiran tried to comfort her, she still refused to raise her head. Tears were already rolling in her eyes. If she had encountered these things when she was alone before, she might not be able to. He would cry, but this time someone around him comforted him, someone told him not to be afraid, Yunli felt extremely wronged.

Seeing her keeping her head down and not speaking, Zhu Yiran felt very anxious, hurriedly went to make the tea herself, and was afraid of something tricky in the teapot, so she didn't dare to pour the tea for her.

Qi Ning is not afraid of this, after all the dishes in front of her have been inspected and there is no problem, she picked up her wine cup and took a sip.

Xu was drunk, Qi Ning felt a little drowsy, propping his chin with his arms, with a lazy expression, as if this incident did not bring her any fright.

I don't know how long it took, there was a lot of noise outside the pavilion, Qi Ning cheered up, knowing that the guards were coming, so he straightened up and looked at them

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Qi Ning stood there condescendingly with his hands behind his back, looking at the guards outside the pavilion, his eyes did not miss the corpse among the crowd.

She frowned, her expression was not very good for a moment, and Taizhu ran up to report word by word: "Your Majesty, the guards ran to see, and the rooms of the rest of the imperial dining room are all right, except this person... Slaves When he led the person in, he was already dead inside, and there was a powder on his fingertips. The servant just checked his identity. He was the imperial chef recommended by Prime Minister Jiang to the palace a few days ago. Just now, the servant saw him On his arm is the mark of the dead man of the prime minister's mansion."

These words, Tai Zhu didn't intend to hide the meaning from others, the voice was enough for Zhu Yiran to hear, Qi Ning looked at Tai Zhu fiercely, and then she lowered her voice.

But it has no effect, Zhu Yiran heard the words, stood up and walked outside the pavilion, took a closer look, the imprint on the corpse was indeed unique to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was there a long time ago, it was not new Put the blame on Jiang Li.

Zhu Yiran's expression was a bit perplexed. She also understood Jiang Li's identity. She also knew that Jiang Li had been covering the sky with one hand in the capital all these years. It's better to start.

The guards moved away one after another to show Qi Ning the imprint on the corpse. It was indeed a dead man who was trained by Jiang's family from birth. Qi Ning's eyes stayed on the finger that contained the poisonous powder, and the poisonous powder floated on the body like white flour. His fingertips are so abrupt no matter how they look, but at this moment, no one cares.

The matter was already here, and everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to breathe. Who dared to ask the emperor to deal with Jiang Li, even Zhu Yiran couldn't speak.

Qi Ning stood on the spot, with no expression of joy or anger, the bright yellow robe was very conspicuous in the darkness, it seemed that everyone was waiting for an explanation from Qi Ning.

She raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, and then ordered: "I will go to Prime Minister Jiang to interrogate tonight, if it is true, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

Not merciless?In fact, everyone knew that Qi Ning didn't dare to do anything to Jiang Li. After all, this poisoning didn't harm the lives of Zhu Yiran's important ministers, but only killed a little maid. Even if the purpose was not pure, there was absolutely no reason to punish him severely.

But after all, an explanation has been given, and the rest of the people can't say anything more. They either watch the fun and wait for Jiang Li's reaction tomorrow, or finally breathe a sigh of relief.

A farce finally came to an end, but Qi Ning couldn't calm down, everyone left this place of right and wrong, the pavilion suddenly became empty, even Tai Zhu followed some of the guards to find Wu Zuo for an autopsy, except for the rest The guards escorting him stood silently outside the pavilion, and it can be said that no one was left behind.

Qi Ning was sitting alone in the pavilion, the dragon chair was extremely lonely, and the table full of delicacies was completely cold, her eyes could not help looking at the place where Jiang Li was sitting, as if the red dress was still sitting there .

The starry sky and moonlight are beautiful tonight, Qi Ning drank a few cups of wine, got up and left the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, the guards followed her not too far away, and found that she did not go back to the Hall of Peace, but turned around and went to the Palace of Shuangfu .

The guards remembered that she said she was going to interrogate Jiang Li just now, so they didn't think anything was wrong. The safety of Shuangfu Palace did not require them to follow, so the guards just guarded the entrance of Shuangfu Palace and closed the gate very carefully.

Qi Ning is not bad at drinking, but I don't know if he was too sad, or maybe he was blinded by the moonlight, and he bumped into the wooden door of the main hall while walking. At the moment, the Shuangfu Palace is still brightly lit, and Wen Xue ran out immediately when he heard the sound Checked, but saw Qi Ning reeking of alcohol.

No one in Shuangfu Palace knew about the dead man at the moment, so no one thought that Qi Ning came to interrogate Jiang Li, but they were still discussing in private whether the relationship between His Majesty and the Prime Minister had improved.

Wen Xue has long been used to Qi Ning's behavior of coming without saying hello, so she saluted and greeted her in a normal way, then retreated out by herself and let Qi Ning in.

Qi Ning knew that he was not drunk, but just a little dizzy. He shook his head and walked inside. The candles in the hall were dimly lit and warm, as if he had returned home.

Jiang Li had already sobered up at this time, except for the headache, everything else was fine, when she saw Qi Ning, she was not surprised, picked up the hangover soup on the bed and walked over.

"Your Majesty is drunk." Jiang Li said quite calmly, her voice was still so pleasant, because she had just had a drink, and there was a hint of hoarse feeling, Qi Ning raised his head upon hearing this, with a smile in his eyes.

"I'm drunk. How about Aiqing?" Before finishing speaking, Qi Ning looked down at the hangover soup in Jiang Li's hand, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then poison me to death with arsenic ?"

Jiang Li's eyes widened. She couldn't understand what Qi Ning was talking about. The hand holding the hangover soup trembled slightly. After contacting what happened tonight, Jiang Li knew what was going on. With a chill in her heart, the hangover soup went away. smashed down.

The hangover soup bowl shattered, the shards splashed everywhere, and the hot soup also splashed onto the feet of Qi Ning and Jiang Li.
