Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin in bewilderment. Many things she heard tonight were beyond her expectations and beyond her imagination.

"You never imagined that someone would use the concubine to assassinate the late emperor?"

"That's not true, this is still conceivable." Shen Cha regained his composure and shook his head lightly, "Although I have never met the Empress Dowager, every time my mother mentions her, she is always in awe, saying that she... ..."

"The method is weird, isn't it?"

"Yes." Shen Cha nodded slightly, "If the Empress Dowager sincerely wanted to target the late emperor and put the late emperor to death by any means, then everything that happened around her would be understandable. I was just thinking , the people around the first emperor are not so good, let alone the servants, the guards are so weak, they can't even restrain a weak concubine."

"It's not considered powerless. The ones sent from the Western Regions are more or less strong." Shen Haolin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted Shen Cha's shoulder lightly, "But what you said is quite right. It is true that the guards are not very good at martial arts, and the first emperor was in danger a few times, and it was all related to them."

"That's why there are shadows." Shen Cha snorted, "Those idlers in Yushitai always say that we keep private soldiers, and they wish they could join us every day to get us out of power. "

"There's no need to be serious with these people who don't understand anything. When they experience the danger themselves, they will know why." Shen Haolin waved his hand indifferently, "No matter what I tell them now, they won't understand. It's like playing the piano to a cow."

"Brother is right." Shen Cha nodded, "Brother, please continue."

"Think about where I should tell you." Shen Haolin lowered his head and thought for a while, "What happened is that father, Master Huilan and the first emperor were drinking and chatting in the imperial study, and they didn't talk for long. According to what father said , about a cup of tea, I heard a noise coming from outside, my father wanted to go out to have a look, but before he got up, the door of the imperial study was kicked open from the outside."

"Did it break?" Shen Cha slightly raised his eyebrows, "This... People from the Western Regions really have strong feet."

"Yes, Master Huilan also said that this tall lady from the Western Regions is stronger and stronger than our girls in Daxia. After being tricked by others, she seems to be unstoppable. Seeing Shen Cha's disgusted expression, Shen Haolin smiled helplessly, "The moment she kicked down the door of the imperial study, my father said that he was also a little dazed, and he didn't recover for a short moment. However, as a veteran who has been fighting for many years, his arrogance did not prevent him from stopping that empress."

"But monarchs and ministers are different, men and women always have some concerns about whether to kiss or not." Seeing Shen Haolin nodding, Shen Cha sighed, "Father was injured?"

"No." Shen Haolin shook his head lightly, "That lady's goal is only the late emperor, no matter what her father, Master Huilan, or the guards stop her, she will not love to fight. With the last bit of strength, he stabbed the late emperor."

"Making a miracle with great effort, even my father and Master Huilan didn't stop me." Shen Cha rubbed his chin, "I'm a little interested in this medicine."

"If you knew what happened to this lady, you wouldn't be interested."

"What's the matter?" Shen Cha blinked, "Did he die from exhaustion?"

"Smart!" Shen Haolin nodded, "After stabbing the late emperor, she also fainted due to expending all her strength. However, Master Huilan said that the medicine should have failed, and she fainted after losing strength, and then... He shrugged, "There is no more, and I never woke up again."

"Then, who did it to her, and how did it do it to her, should be found out?"

"This is natural." Shen Haolin nodded, "After the late emperor woke up, the first thing he did was to ask the empress dowager to go to the Buddhist hall to recite Buddhist scriptures for three months, so it can be regarded as grounding. Imperial physician Lu did not mix in this time. Inside, therefore, I didn't find any reason for him, and I didn't do anything to him. Although I know that he and the Empress Dowager are on the same road, after all, I didn't make a mistake, and I can't implicate him because of this."

"Well, I do know about the empress dowager knelt for three months. There is a sentence in the file of Zongzheng Temple, saying that the late emperor was in poor health, and the empress dowager prayed for him." Shen Cha pouted, " I don't know if Doctor Lu made any mistakes, but I know that the medicine in the hands of the Empress Dowager must have something to do with him. But the Empress Dowager will use him in the future, so she will definitely not expose him so early from."

"That's right." Shen Haolin nodded, "After the empress dowager's confinement ended, the late emperor's injuries also improved, but in the end it was the root cause of the disease, and his body was just deteriorating day by day."

"Understood." Shen Cha thought for a while, "Behind this case, there are actually traces of the Qinglian Sect, right?"

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "We can think of it this way. Many things that our mother left us are more or less related to the Empress Dowager. Does it mean that the Empress Dowager is inextricably linked with the Qinglian Sect? A connection? Judging from the age of the Empress Dowager, when she was just born and before she entered the palace, it was actually a period of time when the Qinglian Sect was relatively popular in Xijing. Is it possible that she is actually a follower of the Qinglian Sect?"

"Brother, we can be bolder, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as the believers." Shen Cha looked at the dagger, "The believers have no way to get the formula of that medicine, nor can they get such a large amount of medicinal materials from the Western Regions, let alone May make the decision to assassinate the late emperor."

"I understand, you think the Empress Dowager should be the leader of the Qinglian Sect in Xijing, right?"

"It's not just Xijing." Shen Cha stood up and paced slowly in the secret room, "Why did the late emperor go all out to destroy the Qinglian Sect? Why didn't they leave any way of life for them? And more importantly, why Qinglian sect knows all the secrets of the royal family, relatives of the emperor, and the family of Zhongming Dingshi in Xijing?"

"The empress dowager knows, it means that the Qinglian sect knows." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, "I understand. If you say that, many things can actually be explained clearly."

"The Qinglian Sect was not wiped out, but because of the death of the Empress Dowager, the dragons had no leader, so they had to stop their flags and drums, and changed from open and aboveboard expansion to secret development to preserve their strength."
