Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 540 Take Out Evidence
The prince's words undoubtedly focused everyone's attention on Wen Xiuyan, coupled with the empress dowager's stern look, no one could refuse her request at all.

"Empress Dowager, the concubine never gave His Royal Highness any white sugar at all. He must have been mentally disturbed just now, so he must have made a mistake!"

Wen Xiuyan's eyes flickered, and her brain was thinking quickly, and she quickly answered the Queen Mother's question.

"Grandmother, Concubine Yue gave me a strange kind of white sugar. When I was with Concubine Yue in the afternoon, I mistaken Concubine Yue for you who I respect and love a few times."

Jin Qilan raised his eyes to look at the queen mother, his moist eyes looked very innocent.

The queen mother patted the prince reassuringly, and comforted: "Grandmother naturally believes in you."

After finishing speaking, her cold eyes quickly swept towards Wen Xiuyan, Wen Xiuyan held the embroidered handkerchief tightly, and then knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, lowered her head and said softly: "The concubine will not admit what he has not done, besides, the crown prince His Highness comes to the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day, maybe he was instigated by someone to deal with his concubines."

We haven't seen each other in just three years, this Wen Xiuyan is really amazing!

If she is just an ordinary concubine, I am afraid that she, Wen Xiuyan, can do nothing, and she can fall into a situation where she cannot turn over with just a single mouth, right?

Shang Kelan's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced back at Jin Yantang, who smiled at her lightly, signaling her not to be afraid.

The smile disappeared quickly, and everyone's attention was on Wen Xiuyan, so no one noticed the interaction between the two.

And Wen Xiuyan's sophistry made the queen mother a little suffocated, this Wen Xiuyan refused to admit that she had eaten something for the prince, and Master Su was on her side, so she couldn't be tough on Wen Xiuyan like she was with Lan Ke.

In addition, Jin Yantang is the king of a country, so it is inconvenient to intervene in these women's affairs. To find out who is the real culprit who murdered the prince, both Lan Ke and Wen Xiuyan are very suspicious.

The empress dowager was thoughtful, as if she was about to make a decision, but her lips moved slightly, but at this moment, Shang Kelan calmly said: "Empress dowager, first find out the source of the poison that poisoned His Royal Highness, then Then we can trace who came up with this poisonous plan."

When the queen mother heard the words, she glanced at her faintly, and after a moment of silence, she said to Li Chen who had just arrived in the hall: "Princess Li, do you know the source of the poison His Royal Highness was poisoned by?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this poison can only be bought outside the palace. After the concubine Yue discovered the poison in the afternoon, she handed it over to the minister for investigation. The minister found out that this poison is only sold in the Chunfengtang outside the palace."

Li Chenxiu saluted respectfully and reported to the Queen Mother.

Li Chenxiu likes to study medicine, and he also knows some pharmacies in the capital. He would investigate an unknown source of poison, which was expected by Shang Kelan, but to Shang Kelan's surprise, She didn't expect that Li Chenxiu would publish the information he found.

After a while, she withdrew her gaze from Li Chenxiu, and explained to the queen mother: "Your Majesty, the medicine shops in the capital are no smaller than the three-finger index, among which Chunfengtang is famous for the most complete medicines in the capital, and Chunfengtang is upright. It is the family property of Soochow University’s scholars.”

After Wen Xiuyan entered the palace, Shang Kelan did nothing, she sent someone to check Wen Xiuyan's identity and background.

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xiuyan couldn't help shaking the hand holding the embroidered handkerchief tightly.

Shang Kelan noticed that her mood was not as calm and calm as it was at the beginning, so she knew that after the prince came out, Wen Xiuyan panicked.

Then, she took out a small oil-paper bag from her bosom: "Empress Dowager, this is what poisoned His Highness the Crown Prince."

She opened the oiled paper bag, revealing the white powder inside that can make people lose their minds. Then, she poured some of the powder into a teacup, and sprinkled a little on the pastry on the table.

Immediately, the powder melted in at a speed visible to the naked eye, without any trace.

The queen mother was startled, and looked at this scene in disbelief.

Jin Qilan clapped his hands, and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, this is the white sugar that Yuefei Empress gave me!"

"Concubine Yue, Chunfengtang, the property of Su Dashi's mansion, you are the only one in the palace who can get this kind of thing from outside the palace, right?"

Shang Kelan was aggressive, her originally soft eyes gradually became stern.

Let Wen Xiuyan make thousands of calculations, but she didn't expect that a prince and Li Chenxiu would appear midway, disrupting her overall plan.

Especially this Li Chenxiu, who would stand by that bitch Lan Ke!
But Wen Xiuyan can't admit that she did this, otherwise she will be charged with murdering the prince, and she will never be able to stand up!
The Su family will also abandon her.

Wen Xiuyan gritted her teeth, raised her head slowly, and explained to the queen mother with tears like rain: "The queen mother, your majesty, the concubine was wronged, and the concubine really didn't dare to murder His Highness the Crown Prince. She only brought you here to raise her because she cared about His Royal Highness. The Heart Palace is visiting the prince! The concubine...the concubine did not expect such a thing to happen..."

This Wen Xiuyan talked about him from left to right, and Shang Kelan's eyes showed a sense of playfulness, she turned and went to the bedroom, and after a while, she came out with two purses.

"Concubine Yue, don't change the subject in a hurry. You didn't seem surprised when you entered the bedroom and saw the prince's lost mind just now. Didn't you know that such a scene would happen a long time ago? These two purses are yours. The money used to buy Gardenia is two bags of gold, the concubine Yue is really generous! I wonder where the concubine Yue got so much money?"

"Besides, the name of Jingtai Bank is printed on the bottom of these coins, and this bank seems to be owned by the Su family, right?"

Shang Kelan unhurriedly opened the purse containing gold, and presented it in front of everyone,

Wen Xiuyan raised her head subconsciously, her eyes flickering with shock: "How is it possible? I didn't give so much money at all! And there is no seal at the bottom of these silver coins!"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xiuyan immediately realized that something was wrong, and before everyone could speak, she hurriedly explained: "Wait, I didn't mean that, I meant that I didn't buy through the gardenia, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine!"

She even forgot to use a concubine when she claimed to be a concubine, and the more she said it, the more she wanted to cover it up.

Immediately, the air became quiet, and the queen mother gradually looked at her with disappointment. Jin Yantang sat down at the table in his spare time and took a sip of tea.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Shang Kelan chuckled, breaking the silent atmosphere.

Then, she poured all the silver in these two purses on the ground, and the silver and gold fell in front of Wen Xiuyan intertwined, which hurt Wen Xiuyan's eyes.

Shang Kelan looked down at her condescendingly: "The concubine Yue is right, but how do you know that there is not as much money as two bags of gold in it? Besides, the official silver circulating in the market has the seal of the imperial court. No, there will also be a seal of an ordinary bank, how do you know that there is no seal at the bottom of this silver?"

Two simple rhetorical questions made Wen Xiuyan stunned, unable to speak a word.

"Heh, Minnv will answer for you, because you did bribe Zhizi and want me to be poisoned!"
