After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 179 The murderer may be someone close to Concubine Xian

"Yes." Long Wei turned around and left the room.

Now in Nanchen Kingdom, the imperial guards are responsible for the security of the entire harem, while the dragon guards are only responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. Even if they have the emperor's tokens, they only obey the emperor's orders. In other words, they are absolutely surrendered to Huangfu Chenyang.

Nalanjiao had just finished her torture, and she was carried into the room with a grin on her face, while Lancao followed carefully.

Someone had already brought the chaise longue, and Nalanjiao lay on the chair with a blanket covering her body, so that she didn't look so embarrassed.

Nalanjiao was so wronged. His Majesty didn't tell her to give her medicine first, but let her lie here and smell the fragrance. Did he not love her anymore? As soon as this thought came to mind, Nalanjiao panicked immediately.

Without the emperor's favor, with her intelligence, she would have been left to die in this cannibal harem. Through today's incident, she has really improved her memory. Li Youwei is not someone she can mess with.

The incense brought by Lancao has been lit in the incense burner, and curls of smoke float out from the exquisite incense burner.

Nalanjiao just wanted to perform well in front of Huangfu Chenyang and Li Youwei. She took a deep breath and judged it for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, General Li, there is nothing wrong with this incense. It is the calming incense I use on daily basis. "

Nalanjiao said firmly, but Lancao standing aside was hesitant to speak.

"Lancao, tell me."

Hearing Li Youwei's name of orchid grass, Nalan Jiao felt dissatisfied again. Was Li Youwei questioning her? She was just about to sarcastically say something, but when she thought of what she had just said, she shut her mouth tightly.

Sure enough, there is nothing that can't be solved with one meal. If one meal doesn't work, then two.

Lan Cao hurriedly smelled it carefully again and replied with a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, General Li, the smell of this incense is a little different from the incense that is usually burned in the concubine Xian's room."

"Why is it different?" Nalanjiao asked, her voice gritted. If she hadn't grown up with her and been loyal to her, she would have really wanted to enjoy the orchid grass board.

Lancao swallowed fearfully, but still said truthfully, "Now the smell of this fragrance makes people feel peaceful and makes them want to sleep, but the previous fragrance was not so strong, and instead made people's heart beat faster.

There is still a little bit of the incense used before, so Your Majesty and General Li can make a comparison. "

Because it was a soothing incense sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it had been checked by the imperial physician, and it had good sleep-aid effects, so no one noticed the slightest difference.

After Jing Lancao reminded her, Concubine Xian seemed to have come to her senses.

"Lancao, you've been observing carefully, it does seem like this. Could it be that I skidded because of the fragrance?"

Nalanjiao experienced fear for the first time. Before she entered the palace, she knew that the harem was a place for eating people. But because of the emperor's favor, she lived a life of indulgence and happiness in the palace, and her vigilance was lowered. This time it was a heavy lesson for her.

Huangfu Chenyang did not answer Nalanjiao's words, but ordered someone to bring the head of the House of Internal Affairs and the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital who was responsible for concubine Xian's pregnancy.

Soon, the two of them trotted over. Maybe because they were walking in a hurry, there was a layer of sweat on their foreheads.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." The two of them knelt down and saluted politely.

"Get up. No matter what General Li asks you next, you must answer truthfully. If you have something to hide, be careful with your head."

The sweat on their foreheads immediately became even more intense, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will tell you everything you want. General Li, please ask."

Li Youwei asked Lancao to bring the medicine residue and the remaining incense to the two of them for identification.

Neither of them dared to neglect, and they checked carefully several times before they dared to answer Li Youwei's question.

"Doctor Zhang, are the dregs of these anti-fetal medicines consistent with the prescriptions you prescribed at that time?"

Doctor Zhang was specially arranged by Emperor Nanchen to have babies for the concubines in the harem, and he was also someone Huangfu Chenyang trusted. Doctor Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Go back to General Li, I checked carefully and there is nothing wrong with the anti-fetal medicine."

Li Youwei nodded, "The types of medicinal materials are correct, but what about the ratio?"

"This? I forgot to check just now, let's check again." Doctor Zhang sweated even more fiercely. As a professional doctor, he didn't even understand it as a layman. His Majesty will not stop using him in the future.

With anxiety in mind, Doctor Zhang quickly made amends, hoping that His Majesty would not pursue his mistake just now.

Doctor Zhang went to check again, and Li Youwei looked at Zhao Ye, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Master Zhao, is this incense consistent with the one sent to Xianfei Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Due to Dr. Zhang's mistake just now, Mr. Zhao was extremely nervous and answered cautiously.

"Back to General Li, at first glance, this incense is the same as the one sent to Xianfei Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I found it is slightly different. A small amount of awakening incense has been put into it."

Zhao Ye was not only in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he was also very involved in the spices, silk, porcelain and other items given to the empresses of the palaces. It was for this reason that he was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The coldness on Huangfu Chenyang's body became stronger again. If Zhao Ye hadn't lied, then An Shenxiang had tampered with him after being sent there, and the murderer was most likely someone from Concubine Xian's palace.

Facing the sharp eyes of the God King, Zhao Ye hurriedly knelt down to show his loyalty, "Your Majesty, for the safety of the empresses, I have carefully inspected everything sent to their palace, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. "

Although the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a good person, he is also a job that can lose his head at any time.

"You get up first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Ye quickly stood up and stood aside politely.

An Shenxiang's matter has been verified, and Doctor Zhang has also re-examined it, but his face is very solemn.

"Doctor Zhang, what are the results of the examination?"

"Back to General Li, I have used too much blood-tonifying medicine, but I can guarantee that I personally caught the medicinal materials for Concubine Xian. There will never be any mistakes, unless someone tampered with the medicine while brewing it." Zhang The imperial doctor almost said it with a pale face.

If this matter cannot be found out, his head may have to be moved. Because too much blood-tonifying medicine, coupled with the incense mixed with refreshing incense, the combination of the two can easily cause pregnant women to miscarry.

Doctor Zhang and Zhao Ye looked at each other with bitterness in their eyes. It was definitely not that they teamed up to frame Concubine Xian. Although she was not a normal person, they were not so courageous to hurt Long Si.

Huangfu Chenyang still trusted these two people very much. After all, he had promoted them single-handedly.

"You go back first and be prepared to be summoned at any time."

"Yes, I will retire."

The two of them secretly wiped their sweat as they walked out. Was their life saved?

Huangfu Chenyang looked at Li Youwei, "General Li, who do you think wants to harm Concubine Xian?"

"Your Majesty, if Dr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao didn't join forces to frame Concubine Xian, it would have been done by someone with access to incense and anti-fetal medicine."

"That's right, Lan Cao, who is responsible for the anti-fetal medicine of the Concubine Xian?"

"Your Majesty, it has always been my slave who has endured the hardship." Lan Cao was so frightened that she almost cried. She would never harm her mother-in-law.
