"Your Majesty, Lancao is loyal to my concubine. She will not harm me." Nalanjiao is unruly and willful, but she has absolute trust in Lancao and is willing to protect her at critical moments.

Lancao was so grateful that she almost cried. It was because Nalanjiao treated her well that she wholeheartedly planned for her, and the two of them protected each other.

Li Youwei did not doubt Lancao, because she provided many clues. If she wanted to harm people, she should destroy the evidence.

"Lancao, who else besides you can have access to Concubine Xian's anti-fetal medicine?"

Lancao racked her brains and thought for half a quarter of an hour, and finally said with a pale face, "Back to General Li, I'm afraid that others will tamper with the empress's anti-fetal medicine, so I have to take care of it all by myself."

"If you think about it again, anyone who can get close to the medicine jar counts."

There are too many blood-enhancing medicinal materials added to the anti-fetal medicine. Only long-term use combined with the soothing incense mixed with Xingshen incense can achieve the purpose of miscarriage.

So it’s not that you can only come into contact once in a while, but you have to be able to come into contact every time. There shouldn’t be many people who meet this condition.

At Li Youwei's reminder, Lan Cao's eyes lit up, she really thought of someone.

"Back to General Li, there is a person who always appears in front of the medicine jar."

"Who is it? Tell me quickly." Nalanjiao urged impatiently.

"Go back to the queen, it's Xiaoyuanzi."

Nalanjiao frowned. Although she was the master of Xianfei Palace, there were many servants in the palace, and she couldn't remember everyone's name. This little Yuanzi sounded like an ant, so she naturally didn't remember it.

Seeing the doubts in her eyes, Lan Cao hurriedly explained to his wife, "My wife, Xiaoyuanzi was the little eunuch who was responsible for caring for the flowers and plants in the courtyard. One time, he accidentally got dirt on your shoes, and then... do you think he Not suitable for the job, he was put in charge of lighting the small kitchen.

While I was boiling the medicine, he would add coal to the stove from time to time. "

Lan Cao paused for a moment. According to Nalanjiao's temper, she must have severely punished the slave. If so, he had a motive to harm others.

The previous memory was awakened, and Nalanjiao also remembered it. This happened when she had just been favored.

"This damn slave, I just fined him thirty strokes, and he is taking revenge on me like this. Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me."

Huangfu Chenyang frowned, "You're going to die after only ten blows. Do you think thirty blows can kill someone?"

Nalanjiao didn't expect that Huangfu Chenyang would suddenly say this. In her heart, how could a slave's life be compared with hers? If he died, he would die. It was a cheap life anyway.

But seeing Huangfu Chenyang's gloomy face, she swallowed the words that came to her lips and quickly changed her words.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, but he can't kill your prince."

Nalanjiao was right, no matter how great the hatred was, Long Si should not be touched.

"Someone, bring Xiaoyuanzi up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Long Wei received the order and hurriedly went to lead the people.

Soon, Long Wei left and returned, "Your Majesty, Xiaoyuanzi has escaped."

His running away further confirmed that he was the one who did it.

"Chase him. No matter where he goes, he must be brought back to me."

"Yes." Before the Long Guards could catch the people and reported from outside, Captain Zhou brought the people. It turned out that Zhou Tengfei was responsible for guarding the outside of the palace, so even the people who crawled out of the cold palace dog hole were caught by him. Come back.

"Bring it up." Huangfu Chenyang was very angry now. He could not accept that his eldest prince died in the hands of a eunuch.

The moment Xiao Yuanzi was caught, he knew he was dead. He wanted to commit suicide to avoid suffering greater torture, but Zhou Tengfei didn't give him a chance.

He knelt down in front of Huangfu Chenyang in a proper manner and kowtowed several times.

"Are you guilty?"

"Your Majesty, this servant is guilty. I should not steal things from Concubine Xian's Palace." Xiaoyuanzi said while taking out the jewelry and other items hidden in his chest.

Seeing what Xiao Yuanzi took out, Nalanjiao became even more angry, "Slave dog, how dare you steal my concubine's earrings? Why can't I find them after wearing them once? It turns out you stole them."

That's what His Majesty gave me as a reward. You don't want this life anymore. "

Lan Cao hurriedly stopped the angry Nalanjiao. The empress was easily angered, and her focus was suddenly wrong. Now she wanted Xiao Yuanzi to explain clearly the matter of framing Long Si, not the crime of theft.

Stealing could lead to death at worst, but framing Long Si was a serious crime against the Nine Clans. The nature was completely different. Xiao Yuanzi was obviously avoiding the important and taking the easy.

"Xiao Yuanzi, in addition to stealing the property of Concubine Xian's palace, you also tampered with Concubine Xian's medicine and incense. Tell me, who is your mastermind behind the scenes?" Li Youwei pointed out the crux of the problem directly.

No matter how much Xiaoyuanzi hated Nalanjiao, he couldn't take revenge on his own. After all, those blood-tonifying herbs and refreshing incense were not something he, a little eunuch, could get.

"My lord, what are you talking about? This servant doesn't understand. This servant is just a young eunuch in charge of lighting the fire in Concubine Xian's Palace. Apart from this time when he greedily stole Concubine Xian's jewelry, he has never done anything wrong. "

Xiao Yuanzi can defend himself so clearly in front of the emperor and the general, which shows that his psychological quality is very strong. He intends to use his life to protect the people behind the scenes.

Both Li Youwei and Huangfu Chenyang knew that it would be easy to deal with Xiao Yuanzi now, but the other dragon descendants were still in danger, and they had to let him reveal the person who really instructed him.

"Report, General Li, these were found from the small garden room." Zhou Tengfei appeared again, holding a tray in his hand. On the tray was a shabby eunuch uniform and a paper bag.

When he saw that piece of clothing, a flash of fear flashed through Xiao Yuanzi's eyes.

"Xiao Yuanzi, the clothes you wore are still stained with the scent of Xingshen Incense. Could you please tell me how you got it?"

Whether it is the awakening incense or the soothing incense, only noble people can use it. Xiaoyuanzi, a low-level slave, naturally does not receive such treatment.

And since he was not waiting in Concubine Xian's room, the only way he could get this smell was because he had hidden it.

"Minion, I don't know what's going on." Since he didn't know how to explain, Xiaoyuanzi simply pretended to be confused.

"It doesn't matter if I don't know. Maybe you can remember it as the general talks about it."

Li Youwei picked up the paper bag from the tray and continued, "This contains blood-tonifying medicinal materials. You always secretly add them to the medicine jar while adding coal when the orchid grass is boiling."

With every word Li Youwei said, Xiao Yuanzi's face became paler, "No, that's not the case. The remaining medicinal materials were obviously destroyed by me. How could you..."

"Oh, so you threw it away." Li Youwei's lips curved.

Xiaoyuanzi fell to the ground with a plop. It was over, and he was placed in a row.

"Xiaoyuanzi, if you recruit me truthfully now, I can spare your nine tribes."
