Chapter 46 Han Xiujin's Embarrassment
"Is Mr. Han too sensitive? The emperor respects the king's law. I believe that the Tianxiangju poisoning incident was framed by someone, and I will definitely find evidence. Mr. Han just handles it fairly."

Qiu Yeli nodded calmly, and said word by word.

"That's very good. I have business to deal with, so I don't want to bother you." Han Xiujin smiled and waved his hand to signal the officers and soldiers to take Wang Mian away.

The Shaodong family was taken away, the clerk of Tianxiangju was crying for an instant, Qiu Yeli called the shopkeeper, and made arrangements in an orderly manner.

The diners who were poisoned and unwell had already been sent to the medical clinic in Jingdu for diagnosis and treatment. Tianxiang Juwai officers and soldiers were guarding it. Perhaps it was Han Xiujin who did not seal the restaurant for Gu Jingyao's sake.

Fortunately, after the accident in Tianxiangju, Wang Mian's intuition was wrong, and immediately sent the butler to detain the kitchen staff in the restaurant.

"Everyone is here?" Qiu Yeli looked at the row of chefs standing in front of her, and said to the butler in a low voice.

"Back to the princess, yes!" The shopkeeper knew Qiu Yeli's identity, and knew how much she cared about Tianxianglou, so his attitude was respectful.

"Where is the chef who is in charge of cooking this medicinal meal?" Qiu Yeli's eyes were sharp.

"Back to the princess, the medicinal food in Tianxiangju has always been cooked by multiple people, not by one person. Therefore, almost all the chefs have touched the dishes," the shopkeeper said in time, with a face of embarrassment.

Qiu Yeli frowned, it turned out that it was like this, and it was even more difficult to find the person who poisoned her.

"Order, no one is allowed to leave the capital without the order of Mr. Han, otherwise it will be regarded as absconding in fear of crime."

"Yes, Empress Wangfei!" The shopkeeper agreed.

On the carriage back to the palace, Qiu Yeli frowned. If this matter could not be explained clearly, Tianxiangju's reputation in the capital would no longer exist, so it must be handled properly.

Gu Jingyao also received news here, and was about to go out to look for Qiu Yeli, when he saw the palace carriage returning.

"What are you doing here?" Qiu Yeli asked strangely when she got off the car and saw Gu Jingyao standing at the gate of the palace with a worried face.

"I know about Tianxiangju." Gu Jingyao said directly.

"Go back and tell me." Qiu Yeli didn't hide anymore.

——in the study
Gu Jingyao pursed his lips and stood in one place, "Li'er, don't worry about this anymore."

Qiu Yeli raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Are you afraid that I will be implicated in the palace? Don't worry, I will investigate secretly, and I will not reveal my identity, let alone use the name of Luowangfu."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gu Jingyao frowned more and more when he heard it, and he resounded Qiu Yeli's temperament, sighed, and said frankly, "This matter is not difficult to find out, but I'm afraid it will involve the imperial concubine. I'm afraid if I pursue it deeply." You're in danger."

"What about the imperial concubine, Li Chao has always respected the law of the king, as long as he can prove that Tianxiangju was framed by others, he will naturally not ignore the law of the king."

Qiu Yeli couldn't help but refute aloud, although the noble concubine has a strong family background, it has never been her character to be afraid of the powerful.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about how to prove Tianxiangju's innocence, and I will protect myself, don't worry." Seeing his brows furrowed, Qiu Yeli said in relief.

"I'll let Han Xiujin do his best to cooperate with you." Gu Jingyao shook his head helplessly, and compromised.

Qiu Yeli took a deep look at the man, if she said that she didn't feel anything in her heart, it must be a lie.

"dong dong dong~"

The door of the study was knocked at the right time, "My lord, my concubine, Mr. Han Qiu, Minister of the Household Department, please see me!"

"Master Han, please move to the side hall and wait for a while." Gu Jingyao said slowly in a deep and pleasant voice.

"Yes!" The servant girl responded and left.

"I'll go with you." Qiu Yeli frowned, as if there were ups and downs.

——in the side hall
Han Qiuduan sat on the pear flower wooden chair, and immediately leaned over to salute when he saw the person coming, looked at Qiu Yeli with a smile on his face and said, "My lord, my concubine, I am here to thank you, my daughter is awake and healthy, thanks to the princess The Empress is wonderfully rejuvenated!"

"Master Han, you don't need to be too polite. In the final analysis, this matter is caused by the little girl, just wake up!" Qiu Yeli said with a smile.

Han Qiu nodded, with a hard smile on his face, turned to look at Gu Jingyao and said, "My lord, I have something to tell you, can you take a step to speak?"

Gu Jingyao looked at him silently and nodded.

Qiu Yeli withdrew at the right time, and she was bound to find out what happened in Tianxiangju.

The next day, the shopkeeper of Tianxiangju sent someone to report that he had found the suspected poisoner.

Qiu Yeli immediately went to Tianxiangju, the shopkeeper stood guard at the door early, "What's going on?"

"Princess, people are inside, according to your instructions, pretending to be helpless about this matter, secretly observing, as expected, we found out that the cook in our mansion had contacts with the shopkeeper of Qibao Pavilion, and was about to leave the capital, but was caught by our people! "

The shopkeeper looked excited, Qiuye Liguo really had a clever plan, this is all right, if the poisoner is caught, their young boss can be released!

"Where is the person?" Qiu Yeli lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped in.

"Bound in the firewood room!" The shopkeeper brought Qiu Yeli to the woodshed. Beside the woodpile, a middle-aged man with disheveled clothes was tied up with his hands and feet tied, and the bundle of clothes was scattered around him.

Qiu Yeli glanced at the shopkeeper, and the latter ordered someone to tear off the cloth from his mouth. The man looked at Qiu Yeli and the shopkeeper resentfully, as if death was at home.

"It's you who put the medicine in the medicinal diet? Why did you do that?" Qiu Yeli frowned, walked up to the man and knelt down slowly.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" The man turned his head and refused to pay any attention.

"You don't need to admit it, but the excessive amount of safflower you put in the medicinal diet was purchased from the largest pharmacy in Kyoto, and I heard that you have a daughter who is as young as you are, right?"

Qiu Yeli opened her mouth lightly, looking at the man casually.

"What do you want to do? Something is coming at me, it has nothing to do with my daughter!" The man finally reacted, struggling to rush over, but was stopped in time.

"Wang Er, Tianxiangju treated you well, why did you do such a thing!" The shopkeeper was heartbroken.

"I need money for medical treatment, shopkeeper, I admit that I did it all! You kill me!" Wang Er lowered his head, feeling extremely ashamed.

Such a hearty admission caught Qiu Yeli by surprise, "Who ordered you to do this?"

"I won't say it! I won't go to the court with you either!" The man gritted his teeth and said every word.

"You! Wang Er, you are confused!" The shopkeeper tried to persuade him, but he couldn't help cursing when he saw the man's posture of smashing the jar.

In any case, Wang Er looked determined after eating the weight.

"Wang Er, do you think your daughter will be fine if you don't tell me?" Qiu Yeli stood with her hands behind her back and said lightly, "You know that the diners of Tianxiangju are all princes and nobles, if they know that you poisoned them, you Do you have a good time with your family?"

Wang Er raised his head and looked at Qiu Yeli, with confusion and struggle in his eyes.
