After hearing the secret guard's answer, Qin Wan's face turned pale and she hurriedly said, "Yuan'er, someone discovered something?"

Bei Hengyuan's face looked a little solemn.

“You said that Eunuch De discovered that the rumor came from Yuehua Palace?”

"It's absolutely true. The one who was arrested was a little palace maid from Yuehua Palace, named Xiaozhu. When Eunuch De caught her, she was about to run away. Eunuch De whipped her twice, and she confessed that the rumor was spread by you, the master. Yes, the purpose is to alienate the emperor and his ministers. He also said that the poison came from you."

"What? How could this happen? Could it be that the palace maid heard something?" After hearing this, Concubine Qin's eyes widened in disbelief.

He turned around and said urgently: "Yuan'er, think of a way quickly, otherwise, the prince will doubt you. You have endured the pain of poisoning for six years for that position. You cannot fail in this matter."

Bei Hengyuan's face, which was good at disguise, had cracks for the first time. Sure enough, as expected, plans related to the Ji family will backfire in the end.

 What kind of monsters are the Ji family? Why are they here on a business trip when all other plans are fine?

Suddenly, Bei Hengyuan thought of one thing, and that was the booklet. That is the book with no errors so far. Is there really no mistake, or the matter in the booklet has been exposed, or the booklet is fake.

"Is there any news from Wu Laosan?" Bei Hengyuan suddenly asked this question.

The secret guard reported back: "There is no news yet."

To prevent mistakes in the booklet, he asked Wu Laosan to check from the nearest person. It's been a while since this happened, so it's logical that news should come.

Just at this moment, Wu Laosan came back after a long journey. Bei Hengyuan hurriedly asked: "Have you found anything?"

Wu Laosan shook his head, "Wrong, the address on the booklet is all wrong, there is no such person at all. Master, we were deceived by Ange. The people in Ange accepted our money but used a fake booklet to fool us. us."

 The plan failed again, Qin Wan didn't dare to think about it again.

 “Yuan’er, are we rebelling?” She didn’t want to stay in this ghost place for a moment longer. She only ate rice bran and copied Buddhist scriptures every day.

At this time, if you force the palace, you can catch those people off guard.

 This is the second time Qin Wan has said this.

Bei Hengyuan suppressed anger in his brows, but still suppressed his anger and said: "Mother, I don't want to hear such words again."

As long as Ji Xiaoshan dies, the authenticity of the book will not matter. It's just that he can't tolerate deception. Bei Hengyuan gave Wu Laosan a serious look, and the latter left with understanding.

“But, mother doesn’t want to stay here at all. Mother is going crazy.” Qin Wan looked at Bei Hengyuan with a pleading look on her face. The plan failed again and again, and she couldn't afford to wait any longer.

Bei Hengyuan shook her hand that was calloused from copying scriptures every day. He said: "Mom, you should remember these difficult days so that you can act more safely in the future."

Qin Wan knew that Bei Hengyuan was still blaming her for not doing enough in Jizhou.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Wancai nodded with tears in her eyes. "Okay, mother, please bear with me for a while."

This time, Bei Hengyuan's face looked better.

 In the following time, Bei Hengyuan continued to play chess with Qin Wan. Until Emperor Yu sent someone to pick him up. The person sent was Mr. De.

As soon as Eunuch De opened the door, he saw Bei Hengyuan vomiting a mouthful of blood and his face was very pale.

"Oh, why are you still vomiting blood, Your Highness? Didn't you say that you met a noble man who knows how to heal?" Because of the rumors, Emperor Yu was unhappy, and even the servants in the palace were trembling with fear.

 He was no better. Later, some clues were finally found, and the finger was pointed directly at the third prince. Isn't this a complete frame-up?

 The third prince was pure in nature, but he was also poisoned by strange poisons. How could it be possible to do such a thing? This does him no good. Whether you don’t believe it or not, you still have to go through the motions. After all, what are so many pairs of eyes looking at?

Qin Wan was wiping tears beside her. "Miss Qi has rushed to the top of the snow mountain all night to collect snow lotus for Yuan'er. After Miss Qi left, the poison that was finally stabilized seemed to be showing signs of poisonous hair again."

Eunuch De was so distressed that his brows knitted together. I thought to myself: Wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable if he was told that a palace maid accused him of spreading rumors?

“Why did Eunuch De come to you?” Qin Wan asked the stunned Eunuch De.

 Eunuch De’s lips moved, but he still lied after all. "It's nothing serious. The emperor was talking about His Highness, so he asked our family to pick him up in person."

Qin Wan nodded, as if that was the case.

“Since my father is concerned about me, let’s go back. Mother, I’ll come see you another day.” After saying that, Bei Hengyuan held Qin Wan’s hand tightly. Seeing a strand of hair falling behind her ear, he gently helped her pin it behind her ear.

 Finally, he reluctantly left.

 In front of Father-in-law De, there was a deep affection between mother and son.

Qin Wan behind her opened her mouth, and finally watched Bei Hengyuan leave. That's all, the person is already dead, what's the point of telling him? It only adds to the sadness.

On the way, under Bei Hengyuan’s repeated questioning, Eunuch De still didn’t hide anything from him. He said that the palace maid identified him.

Bei Hengyuan was just as expected by Mr. De. He couldn't bear the blow and vomited out another mouthful of blood. “Is the public moral and trustworthy?”

"I don't believe it at all. Your Highness, please rest assured. Your Majesty doesn't believe it either. But the poisoning of Lord Ji is a serious matter. As long as Lord Ji is awake, the people will believe it. Your Highness also knows that the Ji family is in the eyes of the people." His position is quite high. If he doesn't handle it well, Your Majesty will be labeled as a persecutor of Zhongliang."

"Now, some people suspect that this matter is related to His Majesty. After returning, His Majesty will have a good talk with His Majesty."

Who this person is, Bei Hengyuan can guess at a glance.

Bei Hengyuan nodded, looking like a man who is pure will do something about himself. He also said: "This prince also wants to know who is behind that palace maid. I'd like to trouble Eunuch De to find out about this matter."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty already has a candidate in mind."

“Oh? Who is he?” Bei Hengyuan was curious.

Eunuch De smiled slightly and said, "Gu Fanmu, the second prince of the Northern Kingdom."

I thought I would find Bei Hengyuan on the crown prince or queen’s head:

Thinking about it carefully, Gu Fanmu is the only one who hates Ji Xiaoshan. When Ji Xiaoshan led an army of 100,000 to the Northern Kingdom's Huanglong, Ji Xiaoshan would not have let the Northern Kingdom's royal family go if it had not been for the Northern Kingdom's royal family taking the initiative to submit a letter of surrender and becoming a vassal state.

 Hence, the royal family of the Northern Kingdom hated Ji Xiaoshan deeply.

 It doesn't matter if the prince or the queen is not found. Ji Xiaoshan is dead, isn't he?

 The carriage drove quickly and slowly, and finally rushed back to the palace an hour later.

There were quite a lot of people in the large imperial study room, including the queen, the prince, two imperial envoys responsible for investigating the poisoning case of Lord Ji, and three first-rank ministers. On the right were the two young masters of the Ji family and Lord Ji who were full of grief. Three disciples who were officials in the court.

An almost undetectable strange color flashed in Bei Hengyuan's eyes after he had finished scanning the circle secretly. None of those who came were his. Is this unintentional or intentional?

Bei Hengyuan was helped in by Eunuch De. As soon as he entered, he ignored Eunuch De's obstruction and knelt down next to Xiaozhu. Emperor Yu, who was in anger, didn't say much.

The palace maid Xiaozhu next to her did not impose any other punishment except the two whips at the beginning.

However, as soon as she saw Bei Hengyuan coming in, her body started to tremble. As if he were a savage beast.

 When people around her saw her attitude, they all looked suspiciously. Ji Linfeng even seemed to mutter in a low voice: "Why is this palace lady so scared when she sees the third prince? Could it be that the third prince really did this? It's true that you know people but don't know what's going on."

Emperor Yu sat at the top with a sullen expression. He couldn't hear Ji Linfeng's muttering at all, but the people around him could hear it clearly.

Bei Hengyuan's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.
