Chapter 238 The Invisible Routine
The imperial doctor held up the handkerchief as if he was holding a treasure, "I report to the emperor, there is nothing wrong with this handkerchief, but the thread used for embroidery has been poisoned, and the empress happened to have a wound on her hand, so I used this handkerchief to kill it." The poisonous veil was used to bandage the wound, and the poison easily entered the empress' body through the wound."

After hearing this, the emperor glanced coldly at the maids in Lanfang Palace, "Who is serving Lanfei's clothes?"

"..."

After a while of silence, a maid came out from the crowd tremblingly, "Qi...Qi the emperor...is a slave..."

There was a sneer on the emperor's lips. Anyone who saw it knew that the emperor was extremely angry, "Whoever sent you to murder Concubine Lan, I will give you the whole body."

The palace lady was frightened by the emperor's words in an instant, kowtowing continuously, "Your Majesty, the servants are wronged, Concubine Lan treats the servants kindly and kindly, it's too late for the servants to be grateful, how could they hurt Concubine Lan..."

While Gong'e was speaking, Gu Hanxun had already brought the prepared antidote from the imperial doctor's office. When he saw that Lian Qingcheng had also come to Lanfang Hall, his hand trembled slightly, and the medicine bowl almost fell off.

The sharp-eyed imperial doctor took the medicine from Gu Hanxun's hand and fed it to Concubine Lan. After taking the medicine for a while, Concubine Lan stopped crying for pain.

She got up weakly and hurriedly pleaded for the maid, "Your Majesty, that veil... that veil was not given to me by the maid of Lanfang Palace, please don't punish her..."

As she said that, Concubine Lan looked at Lian Qingcheng hesitantly, and then hurriedly looked away as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.

And by coincidence, someone recognized the origin of the handkerchief in the imperial doctor's hand.

I saw a shrewd and capable Gong'e crawling out and knelt down, "Report to Your Majesty, servant... I know who this veil belongs to..."

"Magpie!" Concubine Lan hurriedly stopped the magpie as if she had heard a lie, "Shut up, that handkerchief is... I picked it up, what else do you want to say?"

I saw the magpie kowtowed at Concubine Lan, and said: "Concubine Lan, your maidservant's life was saved by you, and I owe your kindness to Concubine Lan. I dare not forget your kindness, so I will never let anyone bully you." Ma'am!"

After the magpie finished speaking, it moved its body and crawled towards the emperor's feet, lowered its head and said, "Your Majesty, that veil... that veil was clearly tied to the empress's hand by Princess Ji during the day and night banquets." of!"

The emperor's eyes instantly focused on Lian Qingcheng, "Princess Ji, is there such a thing?"

Lian Qingcheng chuckled, "Of course there are. Concubine Rilan picked a thorn rose on a whim that day, but accidentally cut her finger, so Qingcheng wrapped it up with a handkerchief for the princess."

"Well," the emperor didn't mean to be angry, but asked, "I heard that you like to study medicine and poison classics?"

"Yes."

Seeing Lian Qingcheng's straightforward answer, the emperor also smiled, showing his white teeth, "You are straightforward, then you can tell me that my concubine is poisoned, and the source of the poison is the handkerchief you handed over. Why is that?"

Lian Qingcheng smiled lightly, but was not in a hurry to reply to the emperor's words, but asked Gu Hanxun, "Han Xun, I wonder what kind of poison is in Concubine Lan's body?"

When Gu Hanxun heard Lian Qingcheng's questioning, he hurriedly said: "The corpse is rotting, the poisoned person's whole body festers, and eventually penetrates the heart and lungs and dies."

"So that's how it is. The rotting corpse poison is really vicious. If it was me, Lian Qingcheng, who poisoned Concubine Lan, I would really hate Concubine Lan to death." It smells bad, I don't know if Han Xun knows about it?"

"Of course I know." Gu Hanxun replied imitating Lian Qingcheng's appearance: "The smell of rotting corpses is just like its name, there is a smell of rotting corpses..."

"Well," Lian Qingcheng interrupted Gu Hanxun's words, and bowed like an emperor, "Your Majesty, since you suspect that Qingcheng poisoned Concubine Lan's corpse, dare to ask the Emperor, such an unpleasant poison, Lan Is it true that the concubine didn't smell it at all?"

The emperor didn't answer, but an imperial doctor said on his behalf: "I have heard of the rotting corpse, and it smells extremely bad, but if you add Baixiang powder, it seems to be able to cover up the rotten smell."

"Then dare to ask the old gentleman, is Baixiangsan easy to get?" Lian Qingcheng's lips slightly raised, and he looked at the old imperial doctor sharply.

The imperial doctor was speechless at the moment, because there was only one place for Baixiangsan, and that was the spice room of the imperial palace.

Lian Qingcheng seized the opportunity and immediately asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, the spices come from the spice room in the palace, and the spices in the spice room will be recorded, not to mention such a precious spice, if someone from the Ji Palace wants it This spice, the records must be inescapable, why don't we compare the accounts of the spice room, how about it?"

The emperor nodded his head, acquiescing to Lian Qingcheng's opinion, so after a while, someone in the palace looked through the account books of the spice room carefully: "Come out, princess, Baili invites the moon, and Baixiang scatteres for three coins." Jumped into the eyes of the emperor.

Lian Qingcheng naturally knows that Baili Yaoyue has Baixiangsan. Baili Yaoyue is a well-known person who loves beauty, and Lian Qingcheng has smelled Baixiangsan even more in several contacts with Baili Yaoyue.

Even if the poison in Concubine Lan's body wasn't rotting corpse poison, even if the old imperial doctor didn't say that Baixiangsan could cover up the smell of rotting corpse poison, Lian Qingcheng would say it himself.

"It turns out that Princess Yaoyue has the spice Baixiangsan." Lian Qingcheng said every word so clearly that everyone could hear it.

The emperor's face changed slightly, seeing Lian Qingcheng's extremely dissatisfied expression, and in a blink of an eye he looked at the little eunuch next to him, "Go and invite Yaoyue to me."

The little eunuch said yes, and hurried out of the room.

But at this moment, Lian Qingcheng's eyes fell on the handkerchief in the tray in the hand of the little eunuch, "This handkerchief..."

The emperor's eyelids twitched, his pupils shrank involuntarily, and he said, "What's wrong with this veil?"

Lian Qingcheng looked pensive, and immediately picked up the handkerchief under the slightly surprised eyes of everyone, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "This...is not my handkerchief."

"What?" The emperor's voice suddenly rose, "You said? It's not yours?"

"Returning to the emperor, most of Qingcheng's handkerchiefs are mainly orchids. Qingcheng is not used to wearing such a gorgeous handkerchief. What's more, this handkerchief is embroidered with a picture of a phoenix bird playing with a parasol. No matter how stupid Qingcheng is, Don't you dare to go too far to use such a handkerchief?"

The emperor didn't say a word, but just stared at Lian Qingcheng unblinkingly, as if he wanted to see some flaws in her face.

He always felt that he seemed to have stepped into the circle of Lian Qingcheng, not only him, but also Concubine Lan, but the emperor couldn't see through what was going on for a while.
