Moonlight Allure

Chapter 140 Unexpected
"Your Majesty, do you remember how Concubine Shu died?" Her smile was like a flower, and her face was as snowy as snow. Even though she was over 40 years old, she still couldn't hide her beauty.

Xiao Mingjing's thick eyebrows were tightened, and his eyes were somewhat deep: "Didn't he die of illness?"

"My concubine is in good health, and quite knowledgeable in medical science, how could she die of illness?" Xiao Yuche spoke, with a calm face and cold and angry eyes.

"That's right." The smile on Yang Lanxu's face deepened a little: "Does the emperor know that there is a poison in this world called 'wind chill'?"

"Fenghan!" Xiao Mingjing shrank his eyes, and glanced at Yao Sihan meaningfully, only to see that her shoulders were shaking, as if she was afraid.

"Yes, it's 'wind chill'" Yang Lanxu glanced at Yao Sihan, who was pretending to be pitiful, and said, "Does your majesty remember that? 'Feng chill' is a chronic poison, as its name suggests, and the poisoned person feels as if infected with wind chill. Her health is getting worse and worse, but nothing can cure her." Her pupils were deep and dark, and her eyes were dark: "When General Yao went west, he used the 'wind and cold' to poison the opponent's coach to death, and then he came back with a big victory." She glanced at Yao Sihan, whose face was pale: "Concubine Shu's death was caused by someone's 'wind chill'. Concubine Shu herself is proficient in medical science, so she naturally knows the source of this poison, so she also knows who wants to murder her. Who." She didn't say any more at this point, but the implied meaning was self-evident.

"Your Majesty" Concubine Yao's tears just stopped falling again, her eyes full of grievances: "Your Majesty, the Empress hates my concubines and concubines and has nothing to say. But this concubine never thought that she...he would actually slander my concubine's elder brother. "She covered her face and wept, she was so pitiful: "Your Majesty, you must be discerning. My concubine's elder brother is loyal to you and has made great contributions to the heaven. Your Majesty, you must learn from it. Don't be fooled by villains and wrong a good general!" .”

What Yao Sihan said was good, and he cried out his grievances clearly, but in fact, every word and every sentence reminded the emperor Yao Yuanzheng of his meritorious deeds.If the emperor wants to deal with her, he must think twice before acting.

As expected of a woman who has been tossing around in the harem for so many years, no matter what happens, she will never simply go anywhere.You can tell by seeing Xiao Mingjing's dark and gloomy face.Luo Qingyan sneered in her heart and didn't say much.

Yang Lanxu's expression darkened instantly, she understood the hidden meaning in Yao Sihan's words.With a sneer, he took a step forward.Xiao Mingjing had already waved his hand, "Come here, arrest the queen and the prince, put them in a prison, and deal with them later."

"Yes..." After hearing the order, the guard immediately stepped forward to arrest Yang Lanxu and the two of them.

"Let go of me..." Yang Lanxu struggled hard, her eyes were already stained with a little madness. "Your Majesty, don't you want to know how Concubine Yan died?"

Her words successfully made Xiao Mingjing's face change.

"slow down"

The two guards who were escorting Yang Lanxu stopped immediately upon hearing this.Yao Sihan could no longer stand up with Xiao Ziqiu's help, seeing Xiao Mingjing approaching Yang Lanxu, panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Your Majesty, don't go there, be careful of fraud."

Xiao Mingjing lowered his head, just in time to catch a glimpse of the panic and fear flashing in her eyes, his eyes were steep.

"Step aside"

Yao Sihan flickered: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Mingjing had already waved her away and walked to Yang Lanxu's side.

"What do you know, tell me in detail."

Yang Lanxu swung the hands of the two guards who were driving her, straightened her clothes, and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, you protected Concubine Yan so well back then, and she has always been free from illness and disaster, so how could she suddenly become ill?"

"What's going on here?" Xiao Mingjing's pupils were bloodshot, and there was a flash of pain in his eyes.

"Heh~" Yang Lanxu held her head high, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile: "Actually, you don't need a concubine to tell the emperor, you must know it well, don't you?" Xiao Mingjing rarely lingered in the harem for so many years, Her Fengqi Palace has long been no different from a cold palace.As for Yao Sihan, it was just relying on the support of a strong natal family.Although Concubine Yan was declared to have died of illness back then, there was something strange about it.Xiao Mingjing would naturally suspect her and Yao Sihan, but there was no evidence, and he was afraid of the influence of Yao Sihan's mother's family, so he held back for so many years.

"What on earth do you want to say?" Xiao Mingjing's pupils were dark, and the bottom of his pupils was filled with waves.

"What do I want to say?" Yang Lanxu chuckled, smiling sadly, laughing at herself: "This woman..." She suddenly pointed to Yao Sihan who was looking at her with resentment, and said coldly: "She, she In the middle of the night, someone was sent to feed Concubine Yan with poison, which killed Concubine Yan."

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a big rock had been thrown into Pinghu Lake, causing shocking waves.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's impossible." Xiao Ziqi reacted, with a gloomy face, and roared at Yang Lanxu.Xiao Ziqiu remained silent, his face pale, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking.Xiao Junyi also had a look of anger, but he didn't attack.Luo Qingyan just raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything.Xiao Moli had told her about this, so she wasn't surprised.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Yang Lanxu sneered: "Are you talking nonsense? You can ask this woman and you'll know?" She cast a cold glance at Yao Sihan, and then she turned her gaze to Xiao Mingjing.

Xiao Mingjing didn't react much after hearing her words, but glanced at Yao Sihan lightly.

"Did you do it?"

Hearing this, Yao Sihan shook her body, raised her flowery face, and looked at Xiao Mingjing with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, are you suspicious of my concubine?" She sobbed, feeling very sad: "This concubine is dissatisfied with your doting on Concubine Yan alone. , but the concubine really didn't kill her, Your Majesty." She cried aggrievedly and sadly: "Your Majesty, how can you accuse my concubine after listening to the queen's one-sided words?" She complained softly, her eyes were already red a lot .

Xiao Mingjing's eyes became even darker, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.Yao Sihan was indeed rampant and arrogant, and it was a fact that he didn't like Yan'er. Back then, he really suspected that Yan'er was killed by Yao Sihan.But after thinking about it, Yao Sihan was not a scheming woman even though she was arrogant.I'm afraid that many times I am led by the nose and I don't know it.Originally, he suspected that it was the queen who secretly set up a trap for Yao Sihan, so that he could kill two birds with one stone.But according to what the queen said just now, it seems that Yan'er's death has nothing to do with her.

Anyway, they have been husband and wife for many years, so he naturally understands the Queen's temperament to a certain extent.Today, the queen knows that the situation is over, and all the evil things she has done have been punished, so there is no need to hide the matter of Yan'er.So, there must be something hidden about this matter.

Thinking of this, his face darkened even more.

"Yan girl," he called out suddenly.

"En?" Luo Qingyan responded, "What?"

"What do you think?"

Looking at the different expressions of everyone, Luo Qingyan said a few words indifferently: "The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole follows."

Xiao Mingjing raised his eyebrows slightly, a gleam of appreciation appeared in his pupils, he smiled slightly and said, "Then who do you think is the mantis and who is the oriole?"

Luo Qingyan also smiled slightly: "Praying mantis and oriole are not important, the important thing is..." She rolled her eyes, and the light in her eyes was deep and complicated: "Who is the hunter?" In fact, what she wanted to talk about was the fight between snipe and clam, The fisherman reaps the benefits.

Xiao Mingjing was taken aback for a moment, and the gaze he looked at Luo Qingyan was somewhat meaningful.

"Hey, sister-in-law, don't play charades anymore." Xiao Yuche began to lose his composure: "What's going on here?"

Glancing at him, Luo Qingyan didn't answer his question, but looked at Yang Lanxu lightly.

"I just want to know what happened at the palace banquet 21 years ago? Who should be poisoned?" She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what it was.

Yao Sihan was taken aback, and there was resentment in his pupils.Xiao Ziqiu's body froze, his eyes were confused and there was deep pain, but he didn't dare to face Luo Qing's cool eyes.

He kept apologizing in his heart, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!Sorry…

Yang Lanxu narrowed her eyes slightly, and appreciated Luo Qingyan a little more: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"He doesn't like bird's nest" Yes, Xiao Moli doesn't like to eat bird's nest, so Xiao Moli will never eat that bowl of bird's nest.A thoughtful person like Yang Lanxu would never miss such a big loophole.Then the only possibility is that the person she wants to poison is not Xiao Moli, but someone else.So who is it?It can't be her mother, only Concubine Yan is left, but that doesn't seem to make sense.

She was thinking to herself, but she didn't notice that Xiao Ziqiu's body was already stiff, and there was deep regret in her eyes.Xiao Ziqi beside him noticed his strangeness and was puzzled, but he didn't say anything.

"Hahahaha..." Yang Lanxu laughed out loud suddenly, so gloating that she even burst into tears.

"He—" she suddenly pointed at Xiao Ziqiu, her eyes were sharp and mocking: "Luo Qingyan, even though you are extremely clever and have tried all kinds of tricks, you would never have thought that the person who made you disabled for 20 years... was him—Xiao Ziqiu .”
