Concubine Lan quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and hurriedly explained, "I will never dare to have the intention of murder. If I really want to do this, why do I have to send these things myself? Isn't it self-inflicted?"
Jin Xin narrowed her eyes, naturally she thought so too, otherwise she would have been arrested for interrogation.
"These things were sent by your mother's family. I heard that your father strongly opposed the emperor's appointment of the eldest prince as the crown prince. There is no guarantee that your father did not do this."
Although Jin Xin also felt that things were too superficial and unbelievable, her father would not destroy his daughter like this.
But what if he makes a dangerous move?
"Your Majesty, I am negligent. I also have a share of these things. If they are poisonous, there must be two parts that are poisonous. I will go back and investigate now!"
She thought of sending the things as soon as she received them. The two children were sick, and the imperial doctor did not allow them to eat these wet and cold things. Concubine Lan was not in the mood to eat, so she naturally didn't notice.
The thought of these fruits being eaten by the Queen and the two children of Kunning Palace would be really terrible.
Jin Xin asked Concubine Lan to wait here while Kunning Palace sent people to investigate.
Concubine Lan naturally had no objection.
Soon, Cui Gu came back, brought back the same plate of oranges, and said, "This basin is also poisonous."
Concubine Lan's face suddenly turned pale, "Who did it? Marquis Weiyuan Mansion will definitely not do this."
This is where things get weird.
"When was this thing delivered? Who picked it up, and where did it go?" Jin Xin asked.
Ying'er, the maid beside Concubine Lan, hurriedly knelt down and said, "I went to get it from my slave. It was at the gate of the palace. I personally took it back from the people of the Hou Mansion. It was stored in the warehouse. It didn't take long before it was sent here. There was no one in between." contact.”
"There is a traitor in the Hou Mansion," Jin Xin said.
This is the only explanation.
Who on earth wants the two of them to die, or both princes?
"Concubine Lan, you have to go back and conduct a thorough investigation. I will give you ten days, and you will have to give me an explanation by then." Jin Xin said displeased.
Concubine Lan quickly accepted the order.
Even if the queen doesn't say anything, she still has to find out what's going on.
Concubine Lan then called Master Li into the palace for questioning.
After Mr. Li was called into the palace, he was frightened when he heard about it, "I definitely didn't do this, it must have been framed!"
"Then daddy, you should find this murderer. He is planning to kill the emperor's heirs, concubines, and queen. What a vicious plan!" Concubine Lan roared at Mr. Li.
"I need time to check." Mr. Li said helplessly.
He has selfish motives and hopes that the third prince will inherit the throne, but he will not gamble with his daughter. At most, he will fight for it in the court, and that is for the sake of his daughter's status.
Now that something like this happened, he naturally felt the crisis.
"The queen only gave me ten days, dad, it's up to you." Concubine Lan said angrily.
"Okay, I understand, ten days is enough."
But having said that, Master Li looked at his daughter, "You said last time that the Emperor will only have these two princes in the future, and no new prince will be born. Are you sure about this?"
"Dad, I just said it casually, you can't spread it." Concubine Lan said angrily.
"I know, I just want to make sure. If this is really the case, why don't you fight for it?"
"What are you fighting for? Dad, I have always thought that you are a sober and rational person since I was a child. Why are you so confused now?" How could Concubine Lan not understand her father's hint, but she was not unaware of the situation.
The eldest prince has been personally selected as an enlightenment teacher by the emperor since he was more than one year old. Since he attaches so much importance to enlightenment, it is conceivable that he will deliberately train them in the future.
The third prince doesn't have any qualifications now, but he is really introverted. Apart from crying, he likes to play with himself and rarely talks to others.
I don’t want to say whether she is unintelligent, but Concubine Lan really has never thought about using her children to fight for anything.
She has always been a contented person. Her life was only a few decades long. She was very happy in the first half of her life, and she wanted to live stably in the second half of her life.
She felt like she was walking on thin ice just by looking at the ill will the queen faced. How could she want that kind of life.
Besides, following the example of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother had a difficult time even though she was planning a plan. She did not feel that she could control a generation of emperors.
Seeing his daughter's persistence, Mr. Li suddenly felt that he was being pretentious and overthinking.
Now that she said so, she would no longer have those thoughts.
"Okay, I'm going back now, take care of yourself."
"Father, please investigate your aunt thoroughly." Concubine Lan reminded her.
Mr. Li was startled, "Are you suspicious of Yueshuang?"
Concubine Lan's cousin, He Yueshuang, eloped early last year and was caught. It was later found out that she was a Tatar businessman.
Who knows if she was taken advantage of.
Okay, she made a fuss about getting married, and finally changed her gender and came to the capital. They were the only ones who had access to these things, and they were the biggest suspects.
Mr. Li also thought of this, turned around and hurried home without saying anything.
Unexpectedly, no one was found. He Yueshuang's house was empty. Only then did Mr. Li know that it was over.
It was really calculated.
He quickly sent someone to investigate, and it was only two days later that he found out that the Tatar businessman was the seventh prince of the Tatar royal family.
When Concubine Lan came back to report, Jin Xin was stunned. Didn't the seventh prince return to Tatar?
Jin Xin immediately went to report to the emperor. After hearing this, the emperor immediately ordered the capital to be sealed off, a comprehensive investigation was carried out, and He Yueshuang and Helian Yucheng were wanted.
Concubine Lan was so guilty that she came to apologize every day.
Finally, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the two men were caught and imprisoned.
He Yueshuang confessed, and the emperor issued an imperial edict to behead her in public.
Helian Yucheng was arrested again. The emperor was in a good mood recently, so he wanted to catch him and show off that he was about to return the Tatars to the heaven.
In the garden, Jin Xin watched the embarrassed seventh prince being escorted up. When things came to this, he actually dared to look at Jin Xin with a smile in his eyes.
"If you look again, I'll dig out your dog eyes!" Rainbow scolded.
Hearing this, the emperor raised his hand and said, "This is the seventh prince's first time coming to my palace. How about it? Isn't it much better than your desert land?"
"It is indeed very good, and the beauty is also good. This beauty is even better. I don't know how it feels." Helian Yucheng looked at the emperor provocatively, and then looked at Jin Xin, full of desire.
Jin Xin gritted her teeth and had murderous intentions.
The emperor laughed and said, "No matter how beautiful the beauty is, you will not be able to enjoy it."
"Yes, but I can feast my eyes on it. I can also dream about it at night. Thank you to the Emperor of Heaven for making it happen." He still didn't know the provocation of life and death.
Jin Xin stood up at one point and wanted to kill him with her own hands.
But he was caught by the emperor and said with a relaxed expression, "Queen, don't worry, he actually just wants to die. If you fall into the trap, you will help him."
"Your Majesty, I cannot swallow this breath." Jin Xin said coldly.
"What's the problem? Someone come and take him down to cleanse himself."
