The few words Ye Wange said shocked everyone who had been looking for the culprit. The clarity was so clear. It can be imagined what a shrewd and wise person Ye Wange was. How could such a wise person?

Maybe the gift I gave you was poisoned by such superficiality.

I have been busy looking for the murderer who sent the deer antler. I heard that he was poisoned by eating deer antler. Everyone thought it was the deer antler problem, so they were busy looking for the murderer Ye Wange.

I really didn't expect that as soon as Ye Wange, the murderer, appeared, he would deflect the blame pointed at her in just a few words.

Ye Wange stood up and glanced at everyone calmly with his brows, looked at Nangong Ao and said, "Your Majesty, these links mentioned by my concubine must be carefully investigated.

These slaves cannot even take good care of their masters, so they must be severely punished." Ye Wange said seriously.

As soon as Ye Wange said that the matter should be investigated strictly and these slaves punished severely, the expressions of everyone present went from unanimously wanting to severely punish the murderer to now completely different. It really became a color palette.

Nangong Ao looked at Ye Wange, watching her calm and wise manner, handling the unexpected incident in an orderly manner.

Ye Wange saw that everyone was stunned, and Nangong Ao also stood there silently. She said sharply, "Come here, bring me all the slaves who have touched this bowl of deer antlers."

Ye Wange's angry shout frightened several of the servants around Shen Ruhui.

Others didn't know what was going on. They only knew that Concubine Hui had a problem after eating deer antlers. Of course, the few loyal servants around Shen Ruhui knew what was going on.

When Shen Ruhui heard that Ye Wange was going to make trouble with some of her minions, she immediately said, "Queen, there's no need to be angry. I'm fine. I'm just allergic to something I ate. It's not the bowl of deer antlers that caused the problem."

Ye Wange heard Shen Ruhui's voice, she turned to look at Shen Ruhui lying in the gauze tent and said, "Sister Hui, you are fine now, but that doesn't mean you will be so lucky next time.

These slaves are used to being lax. If the master doesn't show off his power, he will become a sick cat. If he is not punished properly, it will lead to big mistakes in the future."

Ye Wange looked at Nangong Ao, who was standing there and looking at her leisurely, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think what I said is right?"

Nangong Ao heard this and said, "The Queen is right."

"Then please ask the emperor to find out about this matter? Sister Hui has suffered such a big crime. No matter what, she must find out how to give justice to sister Hui." Ye Wange pushed Shen Ruhui out. The incident happened because of Shen Ruhui. Of course, Shen Ruhui must be punished.

Check for the main reason.

Ye Wange's few words hit the point, which also calmed down Nangong Ao, who was anxious for a while. He thought over and over again that there was no way this could be the poison administered by Ye Wange.

With Ye Wange's intelligence, how could he be stupid enough to poison his own gift?

If the poison was added to the velvet antler, it would have been discovered long ago during the cooking process in the kitchen. Why was it discovered only after eating it?

After Nangong Ao calmed down, he thought carefully about Shen Ruhui's poisoning by eating deer antler, and felt that it was very suspicious. It seemed that someone was deliberately guiding the finger to point the finger at Ye Wange, as if the incident was specifically created to target Ye Wange.

Nangong Ao's expression also became sharp. He frowned and said coldly, "Come on, bring me all the slaves who have come into contact with this bowl of deer antlers. I want to investigate this matter carefully. If I dare to poison Concubine Hui, I will

I want to see who has such guts."

Shen Ruhui heard that Nangong Ao wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, and she began to panic. If Nangong Ao did not follow her idea to investigate Ye Wange, but instead investigated these minions, it would be missed.

At the thought of being leaked, Shen Ruhui struggled to get up from the bed and said, "Your Majesty."

Nangong Ao heard Shen Ruhui's cry. He looked for the sound and saw Shen Ruhui trying to stay down. He didn't care about what he had to do now and rushed forward, "What are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, don't bother. I'm fine," Shen Ruhui said, holding Nangong Ao's hand.

After hearing this, Nangong Ao's frown tightened even more. Shen Ruhui saw Nangong Ao's displeasure and suspicion and said, "Your Majesty, the deer antler was a gift from the queen. The queen is sincere to me. Now I am because of eating If you are feeling unwell after taking deer antler, you must investigate this matter thoroughly. Those of us who know the true image have nothing to do with the Queen. What will those who do not know the true image think?

I've eaten so much food, but I can't conclude that it's because the deer antlers I ate were poisoned?" Shen Ruhui explained to Nangong Ao.

Ye Wange, who was standing aside, heard Shen Ruhui's words and an almost imperceptible sneer flashed at the corner of her mouth. She spoke before Nangong Ao made a decision, "Sister Hui, you don't have to worry about my reputation. This matter must be investigated. clear.

Firstly, it was to seek justice for Sister Hui.

Secondly, it is to severely punish the servants around me who have neglected their duties.

The third reason is to repay my innocence. Now someone is making trouble about the deer antlers I used. I think this person has evil intentions and wants to frame me.

If you want to stir up trouble and make the harem uneasy, such things must not be tolerated." Ye Wange said resolutely.

Shen Ruhui raised her eyes and looked at Ye Wange. Seeing Ye Wange's determination, although she was anxious, she still looked calm and composed in front of Ye Wange.

She originally wanted to bring the conflict to Ye Wange, not to convict her, but to let Nangong Ao see how vicious Ye Wange, the queen, was. She never thought that Ye Wange's few words could dispel Nangong Ao's suspicion. .

One wanted to investigate and the other didn't. How could Nangong Ao be influenced by them? He glanced at Shen Ruhui, and for the first time he saw uneasiness in Shen Ruhui's clear and harmless eyes.

Seeing Shen Ruhui's uneasiness, Nangong Ao's heart was filled with waves. He could probably guess what was going on.

Looking at Shen Ruhui, a trace of disappointment flashed through her deep black eyes. He held Shen Ruhui's hand and comforted her to sleep, "Lie down and rest. I know how to deal with it."

Shen Ruhui looked at Nangong Ao's slightly gloomy face. She was a little afraid and didn't dare to say anything more. She lay down obediently and watched what happened.

Nangong Ao turned around and looked at Ye Wange, looking at her expectant expression and looking at the grievance mixed in her dark eyes shining with the light of wisdom. He could no longer calm down.

He looked at the minions around Shen Ruhui with a sinister look. He must punish these minions who were making trouble and causing dissension over nothing.

"Anyone who has come into contact with this bowl of deer antlers, come forward." Nangong Ao roared violently, and those slaves no longer dared to stand still, and stood up one by one in fear.

"The cook of Yongshou Palace, come forward!" Nangong Ao said while looking at the servants kneeling on the ground.

Each palace in the palace has its own kitchen and a cook who specializes in cooking. The cook was the first person Nangong Ao interrogated.

A fat woman with a big belly and round waist was kneeling there and said, "I'm here, my slave."

Glancing at the fat cook, Nangong Ao said, "Who gave you the deer antler?"

"It's little Zhengzi." The fat cook answered truthfully.

Little Zhengzi, who was kneeling there, was trembling with fear. Hearing the fat cook mentioning himself, he immediately replied, "Go back to the emperor. It was a slave who gave it to the cook."

"Did you notice anything wrong with the deer antler before you handed it over to the cook?" Nangong Ao asked in a deep voice.

"My servant didn't pay attention." Xiao Zhengzi replied with fear.

Nangong Ao looked at little Zheng Zi with a deep look and said, "If the velvet antler was contaminated with poison when the queen sent it, even if it is colorless and odorless, then careful inspection before cooking will reveal clues. Why don't you have any clues?"

Found"

After Nangong Ao finished speaking, the fat cook and little Zheng Zi who were kneeling there had their hearts in their throats. There are strict rules in the palace. All food given to the masters must be carefully confirmed before processing and is not poisoned before cooking.

, when it is cooked and eaten by the master, the maids and eunuchs must test it and make sure it is not poisonous before letting the master eat it.

Nangong Ao's words not only frightened the fat cook and little Zheng Zi, but also frightened the servants kneeling on the ground, especially Qiuxiang. If this matter was investigated, even if it was not found out that they themselves had poisoned Ye Wange

Yes, if the emperor pursues this crime of dereliction of duty, slaves like them will not get any good results.

The fat cook was frightened, and she said truthfully, "Back to the emperor, I checked according to the regulations before putting it in the pot. I really didn't smell any unusual smell, and I didn't see anything abnormal on the velvet antlers. After I finished cooking,

No problems were found during the taste test.”

After listening to the words of the fat cook, Nangong Ao thought, if there is no problem during the cooking process, then something went wrong after cooking. He looked at the servants on the ground and asked, "Who brought it from the kitchen to Concubine Hui?"

Coming?"

Qiuxiang felt trembling in her heart but still calmly replied, "It's a slave."

Nangong Ao raised his black eyes, looked at Qiuxiang who was kneeling there and said, "Did anyone come into contact with you during the process from the kitchen to here?"

"The slave brought it all the way from the kitchen to here. No one else has touched it." Qiu Shi said and began to feel uneasy. After bringing back the deer antler porridge, she added a little medicine to it according to Shen Ruhui's instructions. The deer antler Shen Ruhui ate was

There was no medicine, but Shen Ruhui didn't take a bite of the medicine.

After hearing this, Nangong Ao's face became even more gloomy, and his voice was as cold as an ice pick in the cold winter. "It was not poisonous when the cook tasted it in the kitchen. No one else came into contact with you when you brought it here. The biggest suspicion is that it was poisoned."

You?"

"Your Majesty, please spare your life? Is this servant unjust? How could I poison Concubine Hui when I'm loyal to her?" Qiuxiang's face turned pale with fright.

Shen Ruhui, who had been lying quietly on the bed, felt that something was wrong after hearing this. She ordered Qiu Xiang to inflict the poison. Now Nangong Ao pointed the finger directly at Qiu Xiang. She was not worried that Qiu Xiang would betray her. She was worried about what happened to Nangong Ao.

If she really takes it seriously, she really wants to investigate and use torture on Qiuxiang. If Qiuxiang can't bear it and tells the truth, then she is really doomed.
