Chapter 1319 Layout Start 80.0
"What assassination? Which empress assassinated the first emperor? Why have you never heard of it?"

After hearing Shen Haolin's words, Shen Cha was taken aback for a moment, completely unaware that there was such a thing, she rubbed against Shen Haolin, and looked at him eagerly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Curiosity, I beg my brother to clarify."

"Okay, I'll clear up your confusion. But..." Shen Haolin rubbed her head and smiled, "I've never heard of it?" Seeing Shen Cha shaking his head, he thought for a while and then asked, "No Did you hear your mother mention it?"

"No, if there was, I wouldn't be so surprised." Shen Cha shook his head, "Brother also knew about it. I was in Beijing some time ago, and because I wanted to investigate the details of Aunt Xue's incident, I went to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. I transferred a large number of old files, and they are still in the imperial study. Not only that, I even asked Brother Xiaojue for permission to go to Zongzheng Temple and get the files from there. After reading it, I really didn’t see what my brother said, if I had seen it, I would have asked my brother a long time ago.”

"That's true." Shen Haolin nodded, "If you saw it, you would definitely ask. If you don't ask me, you will ask His Majesty."

"I will definitely ask my brother. If you ask His Majesty face to face, it is not to slap him in the face. After all, it is the late emperor's business." Shen Cha thought for a while, then tilted his head to look at Shen Haolin, "So, it was never mentioned in these files. The case should have been passed by the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"It must be lost in the Spring and Autumn Period. Not only can you not find it in Zongzheng Temple, you can't find it in Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Not many people even know about this case." Shen Haolin sighed softly, "Really count, This case is the real royal secret... no, it's a scandal."

"That's right, the concubine assassinated the late emperor. If it's going to spread, maybe something will be made up to become the talk of Xijing people after dinner!" Shen Cha also sighed, "But since this case has been dropped by Chunqiu, and there are not many People know, so how did brother know?"

"It was my father who told me that he and Master Huilan were both in front of the late emperor when the empress was assassinated."

"Brother, don't talk too much. Is that lady from the Xue family?"

"No." Shen Haolin shook his head lightly, "At that time, the lady of the Xue family had already passed away. But..."

"The Empress Dowager is still here." Shen Cha's eyes flashed brightly, "Is my statement more reliable?"

"It's basically the same as my father's and Master Huilan's guess." Shen Haolin nodded, and reached out to tap the tip of her nose, "Don't tell me if you see it!"

"Understood, it seems that our previous guess may not be wrong." Shen Cha sighed softly, "Can we judge that this dagger is in front, and that..." She pointed at the dagger. A gold-leafed pill, "Behind, right?"

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "At that time, Emperor Xian was in good health."

"So, it's too..." Shen Cha nodded repeatedly when he saw Shen Haolin's eyes, "I couldn't succeed many times before, and I couldn't get what I wanted, so I took advantage of the late emperor's illness, and then..." Shen Cha coughed lightly, and made a The movement of sealing his mouth, "Got it, don't talk about it, brother don't need to stare at me. Since it's not the lady of the Xue family, brother can talk about this case in detail."

"Okay, it's..."

"Wait a minute, there is another question." Shen Cha reached for the dagger in Shen Haolin's hand, leaned over and sniffed it carefully, "Did the late Emperor fall ill after the assassination? No, the injury is always not very good ,right?"

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "Father said, there is something on this dagger." He looked at Shen Cha, "Do you know what it is?"

"I know." Shen Cha sneered, "No wonder this dagger appears here. This clue has nothing to do with the Xue family's mother, but with the Qinglian Sect. Although so many years have passed, the smell of this medicine is still the same. There will be a little residue, which shows that the dagger must have been soaked in the liquid medicine for a long time." She looked at Shen Haolin, "Wanyan and Wen's bodies were inspected by Miao Miao at the time, and I watched them for a while , He has this smell on him."

"And Wanyan and Wen are..."

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded and sighed softly, "So I said, this is directly related to Qinglian Sect."

"So that's the case." Shen Haolin nodded, "This hand is stretched long enough."

"Although I already know that it is related to them, I still want to hear about this case. Brother, please continue."

"It's like this, that day should be the Cold Food Festival, and the late emperor asked his father and Master Huilan to enter the palace for the festival." Seeing Shen Cha's disgusted expression, Shen Haolin chuckled, "Just looking for an excuse to go to the palace and drink some wine , don’t show that expression, okay? My mother knows about them drinking in the palace, she...just pretends that she doesn’t know anything. "

"I know that's the case. Father and Master Huilan quietly hid in the small dining room, each time for a drink. But..." Shen Cha pouted, "The purpose of their drinking is not really for drinking, Just to chat, right?"

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "The most important thing is to have a good chat, and to have a good chat. As for how much to drink, that's not the point."

"The words came out again. If the three of them gathered for a drink and chat, they should be in the Imperial Study Room or the Xiaonuan Pavilion. How did the concubine come from the harem to the front?" Shen Cha felt a little cold, and unconsciously walked towards Shen Haolin Rubbing her side, "What are the female officials and maids who follow her, as well as the guards guarding the gate, and the servants doing? Isn't it a bit outrageous for a concubine to break in unimpeded?" She thought for a while, "By the way, which empress is this? She is so courageous that she dared to break into the palace and assassinate the late emperor."

"You might as well guess." Shen Haolin shook the dagger in his hand, "Think about it a little bit."

"Think about it." Shen Cha looked at the dagger, thought for a while and said, "Is it the one sent from the Western Regions?" She blinked, "Well, that makes sense, Miao Miao also said at the beginning, this Most of the medicinal materials of the medicine come from the Western Regions."

"So that's the case!" Shen Haolin nodded, looked at Shen Cha, and smiled lightly, "Tell me why it was committed by someone sent from the Western Regions, and tell me all your guesses."

"That's right." Shen Cha rubbed his chin, "If the daughter sent to the palace by Daxia's noble family did such a thing, even if all the files were lost by Chunqiu, there will still be follow-up investigations The first emperor's harem was actually not many people, including the empress, there were no more than five or six people, right? But our Daxia's daughter's family has not been liquidated like this, so it can only be sent into the palace by the Western Regions gone."

"Then guess again, why is it unimpeded for her to break into the front from the harem?"

"Someone secretly helping? For example..." Shen Cha pouted at Shen Haolin, and said vaguely, "The Empress Dowager or something, right?"

"No."

"No?" Shen Cha was stunned for a moment, "What is that for? Could it be that she became so powerful because of her insanity, that the people around her, even the servants and guards, couldn't stop her?"

"Congratulations, you got it!"
