"Reporting to the prince, Concubine Li died suddenly!"
The guard's heavy voice echoed in the study. When the shocking news reached his mind and thoughts through the font and meaning, Xuanyuan Qingtian and Butler Lin in the study both jumped up in surprise.
"What!"
Xuanyuan Qingtian listened to the guard's report. He went from disbelief to shock at lightning speed. For the first time, he uncontrollably jumped up from his chair.
The originally lazy and freehand posture suddenly turned into a highly alert defensive posture. His hands hanging by his sides clenched and let go. After taking deep breaths and exhaling a few times, he suppressed the shock.
, the whole person slowly returned to his normal calmness and solemnity.
"Tell me more about how Empress Li Fei died suddenly." Now is not the time to panic. No matter what, you must calm down and understand the ins and outs of the matter clearly, so that you can have a chance to escape from the crisis.
After Xuanyuan Qingtian took a few deep breaths, he immediately made the calmest and most composed analysis in his heart.
"Reporting to the prince, Concubine Li fell into a coma within a quarter of an hour after she returned to the palace. By the time the imperial doctor arrived, she had already expired. The imperial physician diagnosed her as having died of poisoning."
The guard immediately reported all the information he had learned to Xuanyuan Qingtian.
"Will Concubine Li have anything to eat after she returns to the palace?" Xuanyuan Qingtian heard this and immediately raised an eyebrow and asked calmly.
"Reporting to the prince, no, according to the palace maid, Concubine Li immediately dressed up after returning to the palace. Because the emperor was coming to have a meal, Concubine Li did not even drink a cup of tea after returning to the palace."
This guard was personally cultivated by Xuanyuan Qingtian, so he was extremely experienced in handling problems and inquired about everything clearly.
No! After hearing this, Xuanyuan Qingtian immediately shouted secretly in his heart. As if sensing his uneasiness, there was another rush of footsteps outside the study.
"The prince is in serious trouble."
An anxious voice came from afar, arriving before anyone arrived, and the anxiety in the voice infected everyone in the study.
"What happened?"
Looking at the anxious guard, Xuanyuan Qingtian still asked calmly. At this time, he was still calm, as calm as if the sky was falling and there was still a tall man holding him up.
"Reporting to the prince, the commander of the Royal Forest Army led his men to surround the palace, saying that he had come to capture the princess under the emperor's order."
"bump!"
"Damn it!" Xuanyuan Qingtian angrily slapped the table next to him. The solid wood table couldn't withstand such a slap, and it immediately fell into pieces and shattered on the ground.
"My lord, now is not the time to get angry. You have to calm down to save the princess and the palace."
Butler Lin, who quickly recovered from the shock, looked at the extremely angry Xuanyuan Qingtian and immediately reminded him.
"Well, I know. Now you should immediately send me a letter to the Seventh Prince, asking him to understand as soon as possible what kind of poison was in Empress Li Fei, and try to protect the scene where Empress Li Fei died violently. If you can check it, check it first. He will
I know what to do, I will go to the palace immediately to see the emperor."
After Xuanyuan Qingtian heard what Butler Lin said, he quickly calmed down again. At this time, he was racing against time to obtain the most favorable conditions for himself. Now he must hurry up and obtain evidence that is beneficial to him when the enemy changes the scene.
If the enemy was allowed to produce all the evidence against them, then they would really be doomed to be defeated by such a simple scam, and he would not be willing to do so.
In response to the tension in the study and the orders issued quickly, Duanmu Minya's courtyard had never been filled with a solemn atmosphere. The news of Empress Li Fei's sudden death also reached Xuanyuan Qingtian when it was sent to her.
's yard.
Duanmu Minya only raised her eyebrows when she heard the news, without being too surprised, as if everything was expected. When she saw the arrival of Empress Li Fei, Mrs. Qin Qing's timely appearance, and Li Fei
The empress returned in embarrassment without success, so she guessed that things would not end simply like this.
If it ended so simply, wouldn't it be a waste of the many words others used to let Empress Li Fei leave the palace?
But who is involved behind this, who is the mastermind? That is what Duanmu Minya is concerned about.
She is concerned about who can benefit from overthrowing Prince Yu's Mansion.
But since the other party was pointing their arrows at her, intending to overthrow Xuanyuan Qingtian from her, she had to take a good look at who was overthrowing whom!
Duanmu Minya remained calm as usual, not panicked by the sudden death of Empress Li Fei. She remained as calm as ever, still sipping her tea carefully and reading her books.
Even when she heard that the imperial guards had surrounded the palace, she did not panic at all.
Finally, when Xuanyuan Qingtian entered the palace, a shocking imperial edict came to Prince Yu's Mansion, an imperial edict that plunged the entire Prince Yu's Mansion into unprecedented panic.
Following the issuance of the imperial edict, everyone present in Prince Yu's Mansion that day, including Princess Duanmu Minya, all the wives, including Xi Rou, who were not allowed to leave the courtyard, and the other maids and servants were all imprisoned and thrown into the sky prison.
The maids, servants, stewards, etc. in the mansion were all imprisoned in a courtyard, while Duanmu Minya and the ladies were imprisoned in the sky prison, waiting to be punished.
Those ladies who were in a panic, trembling with panic, or sobbing secretly looked pale when they looked at Duanmu Minya, whose face was calm without any trace of panic or panic. The panic mood actually slowly calmed down, and she became calm, firm and calm.
Duanmu Minya seems to be born with such a calming spirit that calms the people standing beside her or following her.
"You are responsible for my sister's death. You are the murderer. You are the murderer who killed my sister."
At this time, Mrs. Qin Qing, who had just been escorted by the imperial guards, saw Duanmu Minya. She immediately rushed towards her regardless of her injured body. She grabbed Duanmu Minya's collar with one hand and shook Duanmu Minya violently.
She beat Duanmu Minya's chest hard and cried out with tears in her mouth. Her red and swollen eyes and pale face truly showed the pain she suffered when she learned about the sudden death of Concubine Li.
and sadness.
Duanmu Minya looked at the confused and panicked Mrs. Qin Qing, calmly raised her hand and waved it neatly.
"Pa!" A loud slap fell on Mrs. Qin Qing's face. The excited Mrs. Qin Qing was immediately stunned. She stared blankly at Duanmu Minya, not daring to move. The other ladies were also stunned by Duanmu.
Minya was so frightened by her actions that she choked her exclamation in her throat and did not dare to scream out.
