The Evil King's Poison Pet: The Queen of Houmen

Chapter 147 Head-on collision
The men who can commit murder in the palace are either eunuchs in the palace, soldiers of the imperial guards, or princes.

However, only Xiao Junxing and Xiao Linxing are the only adult princes under the Holy Majesty's knees. The others either died early or were underage, which did not fit the characteristics of the murderer at the time, so they were excluded. Now, the only ones who need to be checked now... are the eunuchs and guards. army.

"All of you show me your hands."

First came a group of eunuchs. After all, in the palace, concubines did not have that much power and could be extended to the imperial guards, so Concubine De naturally started the investigation from the eunuchs in the palace, which was simple and convenient.

"Yes."

All the eunuchs stepped forward and obediently stretched out their hands.

Seeing this, Yun Xuan sprinkled powder on their hands one by one, indeed, no.

"Okay, since you are sure that this method is effective, then I will accompany you to search the palace carefully!" Concubine De didn't order anyone to do this, so naturally she has confidence in the eunuchs in her palace!
Besides, this time, she was not pointing the finger at herself, but the woman in the East Palace... she hated the most in her life!
"Let's go, let's take a look at other palaces."

Concubine De is a favorite concubine, except for the East Palace, she has the right to search the bedrooms of other concubines!So a group of people was mighty, looking for people in the harem, checking that there was no eunuch, and eliminating the suspicion.

"None of those things."

Shaking her head, Yun Xuan replied to Concubine De.This was the last bedroom they searched, other than that, only the empress's east palace remained.

"Huh? Is that so? It's good to dare. Intending to kill the future four princes and concubines is a serious crime against the nine clans. This palace must not let that villain go unpunished and continue to hide in this palace to harm one party. He must be caught out! "

Satisfied, Concubine De nodded her head. The result was exactly what she wanted - she just wanted to use this opportunity to search the East Palace, to destroy the prestige of the old lady of the empress!
For so many years, the queen relied on her being the main wife, and has been pressing on top of her head!And her son, for so many years, has been entangled with her Lin'er, fighting for the reserve position!
Hmph, she has wanted to deal with her for a long time, but she has never had a chance, so she can't do it!

However, what happened this time was an opportunity, as she said just now, someone wanted to kill the future fourth concubine—this is a big deal!She must make good use of it to make the article bigger!
Since this Yun Xuan is so sure that she has a way to find the murderer, then I will use her hand to go straight to the East Palace!If it happened, it would prove that the murderer was appointed by the empress——then I would not let her go and take advantage of the situation to bring her down!And if it doesn't work, if the murderer can't be found, then the Queen will blame her... Anyway, Yun Xuan came up with this idea, since she will block it, I am not afraid, and I can even borrow a knife to kill someone, so that the Queen can deal with Yun Xuan!It also saves her from doing it herself, killing two birds with one stone!
"Let's go, since that's the case, let's go to the queen's place to have a look." With a smug smile on her lips, Concubine De started walking.

Behind her, her personal nurse was a little worried, for fear that something would happen to her!
However, Concubine De gave a sideways glance, ordered her to shut up, and then continued walking, aggressively!
Just kidding, how could you stop?Do you know how long she has been waiting for this day?How could you give up so easily?No, absolutely impossible!

East Palace
"Your Majesty, Empress Empress! No, it's not good—!"

The eunuch reported, with a flustered expression, he knelt down in front of the queen and said anxiously.

"What's wrong? Speak well!" The queen frowned and gave the eunuch a cold look.

Seeing this, the eunuch immediately fell silent, stammering and pointing outside: "Ms. De, Concubine De is here, and she is summoning all the eunuchs outside the palace."

"Oh, her?"

After hearing the report, the queen's eyes flashed, she kept her expression on, and exchanged a glance with the second prince Xiao Junxing who was beside her.

"Go and have a look."

Elegant and luxurious, without losing her noble demeanor from beginning to end, the queen stood up, and with Xiao Junxing's support, she went out to meet Concubine De.

"What is sister doing?"

With raised eyebrows and a cold voice, the queen met with the enemy of Concubine De, both of them had bad eyesight!

"Deer has seen her sister."

Although she wished to kill the other party, Concubine De still had to abide by the etiquette of wives and concubines. Even if she was not convinced, she would bow respectfully to the queen.

"Little sister wants to discipline the servants, so go back to your own palace. When will my East Palace become your jurisdiction? Your hand...isn't it too long?!"

Without letting Concubine De fall flat, the Empress kept letting her owe her so much. At the same time, her eyes swept across the scene one by one, solemn and majestic. When she saw Yun Xuan, she paused for a while without a trace.

"My sister was joking, how dare my sister take care of my sister's affairs?"

Knowing that the empress was trying to show her off, Concubine De was not a vegetarian, so she laughed and straightened her waist, with a natural expression on her face.

"It's just that there is a reason. The daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yike, fell into the water in the palace a few days ago. According to her, someone pushed her to kill her on purpose. My sister knows that Lin Yike is the daughter-in-law of my sister who is about to marry. How can my sister ignore such a big matter? Besides, the palace has rules, how can we tolerate such a dirty and vicious person in our palace, aren't we afraid that one day he will commit murder again?! So we must find out , to correct people's hearts!"

Concubine De made a big point, and she wasn't afraid that the queen would block her with words.

Hearing this, the Empress did not speak, she just raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer: "Then why are you taking the murderer and running to my palace? Do you think the murderer is someone from my palace?!"

Putting pressure on her, the queen deliberately spoke in a very low voice.

Seeing this, Concubine De felt the pressure, but she was not afraid!Originally, she came here to make trouble today, so she wouldn't let this in her eyes!
"Back to my sister, my sister doesn't think so. It's just that my sister has searched all other places in the palace, including my own bedroom. Right now... only my sister is missing."

Laughing falsely, Concubine De was full of words on the scene, but everyone knew exactly what was going on in her heart.

"I'm the only one here?"

Lifting her lips and smiling, the queen looked at Concubine De curiously, thinking where did she have the confidence to say such a thing!
"Joke! Why do you say that you sent me here? What basis do you have for such a search? Who gave you the right?!" Eyes widened, not angry, the queen, after all, has been in the world for so many years, this bit of majesty There are still some!
"Of course I have!"

Not to be outdone, Concubine De deliberately raised her chin. In order not to make herself look weak, she sneered again and again, raised her hand and pointed at Yun Xuan beside her and said, "It's her!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Looking at Yun Xuan, the Empress Empress smiled half-smile, unable to see the deep meaning in her eyes.

"Your Majesty should know her. Her name is Yunxuan, and she fell into the water with Lin Jiayike at that time. She said that if there is evidence to find the murderer, she only needs to look at the hands of all the eunuchs in the palace."

Throwing the blame to Yunxuan, Concubine De once again solemnly emphasized: "Sister, it's not that my sister deliberately found fault, but this kind of thing happened in the palace, if we don't investigate clearly and find the murderer - I'm afraid the emperor will blame you, and you two will escape. Don’t blame the bad governance of the harem!”

Since ancient times, the empress has been in charge of the harem, but because the Holy Majesty loves Concubine De, he also gave her the right to be an assistant!So if the harem is not well managed, the two of them... cannot escape their responsibility!
"Oh? You have a solution?" After hearing Concubine De's words, the Empress seemed very interested, and turned her eyes to Yun Xuan again, looking up and down continuously.

"You mean you can tell who is the murderer just by looking at the eunuch's hands? Is it because they have injuries on their hands? But this doesn't fully explain the problem, right? Injuring a hand... is also a common occurrence.”

The queen sneered, disapproving of Yun Xuan's method, even a little contemptuous.

"My lady, it's not like this. The murderer was stabbed by Yun Xuan with a silver needle when he was committing the crime. My lady also knew that Yun Xuan knew some herbs since she was a child, so she did some tricks on the silver needle before. So the murderer can be identified in some way."

When Yun Xuan spoke, she spoke concisely and did not explain the method in detail.

"Okay, it sounds good. Then according to your method, check the hands of all the eunuchs in my palace."

Nodding her head, the queen agreed, which was a surprise and almost surprised everyone!
I thought that as long as it was related to Concubine De, the queen would reject it no matter what!But this time she actually agreed?The first person who was surprised was Concubine De!
What the hell is this old woman doing?Agreed so easily?Could it be that she is not the murderer behind the scenes? !While hesitating, Concubine De's eyes flickered, she thought she was going to go through a fierce fight, but who would have expected it to be done so easily?It really made her feel uneasy and a little suspicious.

"You all come here." Xiao Junxing ordered for his mother to make everyone stand in a row.

At this point, everyone was watching Yun Xuan, watching her slowly move forward, every move she made!
"Stretch out your hands." Xiao Junxing was still giving orders.To be honest, although this man's nature was unpredictable, he still behaved well around his mother and did not dare to act recklessly.

"Yes!"

A row of hands stretched out in front of Yunxuan, Yunxuan didn't even look at them, they poured the medicine powder on their tiger's mouth next to each other, and the amount was not much.

"Is it all right?" Seeing that after pouring the medicine, Yun Xuan stood quietly at the side without moving. The queen was curious and turned her head to look suspiciously.

"Please wait a moment, if there is a reaction, you will know in a while."

The effect of the medicine has to wait for a while, and during this time, all you can do is wait.

During this period, Concubine De's heart beat faster, and she kept praying to heaven, hoping to find the murderer!The empress, on the other hand, had no expression on her face, she didn't speak from the beginning to the end, she just seemed to be looking at Yun Xuan lightly.

"Ah, itching, itching is dead—!"

After a while, the first eunuch in that row seemed to be struggling, as if he wanted to endure it!But he underestimated the power of Yunxuan's medicine too much, after one sip, he couldn't bear it anymore, screaming and scratching his hand continuously, itching so much, rolling on the ground howling!
"It's him! It's him—!"

So shocked, couldn't be happier!Seeing that the murderer was indeed someone from the Queen's Palace, Concubine De was overjoyed and excited, almost uncontrollable!

"Sister, so far, what else do you have to say? This eunuch belongs to your palace, and you are the murderer behind the scenes!" Finally, this day has come, Concubine De is looking forward to the stars and the moon!

However, looking at her coldly, the Empress hardly took her seriously, she just looked at Yun Xuan, seeming quite interested: "How did you do it?"

"Go back to your mother, Yunxuan said earlier that her silver needle was coated with medicinal juice, and after it was inserted into a person's acupuncture point, the medicinal juice remained there. If there is no contradictor, the medicinal effect will not occur ; but once they meet, the two come into contact—then..."

Replied respectfully, and finally glanced at the eunuch rolling on the ground, Yun Xuan's intentions were already obvious.

Was it really the Queen's hand?But why? !From the very first moment, she seemed intent on killing her!Yun Xuan didn't understand, how did she offend her?Let her strike again and again!
Her gaze was full of inquiry, and Yun Xuan moved her eyes faintly.

However, she was not as reserved as she was. The Concubine De concubine felt that she had grasped the situation. The next moment she asked someone to subdue the murderer, and then she let out a cold snort, and turned to the queen in a cold and arrogant manner: "Sister, it's all over. Needless to say? You are willing to do such a thing in order to let your son be in power? You are simply devoid of conscience!"

"presumptuous!"

Facing such accusations from Concubine De, Xiao Junxing couldn't take it anymore, his face was full of anger!
But as the party involved, the queen was not in a hurry, she looked at Concubine De with a cold gaze, "Concubine De, what do you mean? Could it be that this person is from my palace, so it must be my order?"

"Isn't it? Don't deny the queen. Today, we still open the sky and speak the truth! Everyone knows what the marriage between Lin'er and the Lin family means, so you are jealous, jealous, and want to destroy it! "

This time Concubine De spoke thoroughly, almost without reservation.

However, as Yunxuan, she also finds it very strange. With the evidence in hand, it is obvious that the empress should look like she has been exposed!But why does she seem to be confident and has no worries at all!
"The Emperor is here."

At this time, Emperor Confucianism came, and he knew without guessing that Concubine De must have secretly sent someone to help out, wanting to overthrow the Queen in one fell swoop!
"See Your Majesty."

Salute, everyone is respectful.But after finishing the ceremony, Concubine De came to Emperor Confucianism at once, and began to cry: "Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for De'er. The empress has done so many unrighteous things, and now she has taken the stolen goods, and she still wants to refuse." admit!"

After briefly talking about the matter, Concubine De felt that the queen's good days are coming to an end!

"Is that so, Queen?"

The Great Confucian Emperor and his wife were at odds. Hearing this kind of words, he naturally felt dissatisfied. He looked at the queen with a gloomy face and questioned him!

"Oh, what do you think Your Majesty thinks? If you find the eunuch in my palace, you will say that I ordered it, but I am afraid that my sister, Concubine De, will forget that this eunuch used to work in your palace, and was transferred not long ago... so Speaking of which, can I say that you deliberately framed me and sent spies to deliberately harm me...?"
