Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said: "That... that was an accident. I didn't expect His Highness to suddenly..."
Jing Lan sighed softly and said, "Even if it was an accident, I have to apologize properly when I get back. How long has His Highness ever been so angry? You really made him lose face."
"Um."
Qingxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, Chu Jiaoli would like to see you." The eunuch outside the door reported to the North Palace.
Bei Gonglie raised his eyebrows in surprise and joy, and said, "Oh? Let her in quickly."
"yes."
Chu Jiaoli walked in with her head lowered in concern, knelt in front of Bei Gonglie, and said in a slightly anxious voice: "Your Majesty, Jiaoli has something important to report."
Seeing her turbulent appearance, Bei Gonglie couldn't help but become confused and said, "What's the matter?"
Chu Jiaoli frowned seriously and said: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with Concubine Ling. Please investigate Leling Palace thoroughly. Your dementia may be related to her!"
If the cause of Bei Gong Lie's death was Concubine Ling, then if the poison in his body was detoxified, Bei Gong Lie might be able to live a little longer, and there would be a chance for reconciliation between Bei Gong Tengxiao and Bei Gong Lie.
Bei Gonglie pondered for a while, walked back and forth, and said, "Why are you so suspicious all of a sudden?"
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, can Jiaoli ask you a question?"
"Just ask."
"Every time the servants working in Concubine Ling's house will drink a cup of tea with Concubine Ling, Concubine Ling will also reward the slave with a cup of tea every time she returns to Leling Palace. Does the Emperor know about this?"
Hearing this, Bei Gonglie frowned slightly and said, "I've never heard of it."
Chu Jiaoli added: "This further confirms my conjecture. After drinking tea a few days ago, I have been in peace. Until I left Leling Palace for the last time, I did not drink Concubine Ling's tea. Recently, my eyes have often been dull.
His reaction was slow, and he almost fainted when he was just leaving the palace."
Hearing such familiar symptoms, Bei Gonglie was greatly shocked and immediately said to Xiaolanzi: "Quick, Imperial Doctor Xuan! Call all the Imperial Doctors!"
"yes!"
Two quarters of an hour later.
"The symptoms of Miss Qi Jiaoli's illness are similar to those of the Emperor. She is indeed suffering from dementia." The old imperial doctor reported seriously.
"Absurd!" Bei Gonglie scolded him angrily, "Jiao Li is so young, how could she contract dementia?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! It's the humble minister who is incompetent!" The old imperial doctor had beads of sweat on his forehead and kowtowed quickly to beg for mercy. "Even if I gave the humble minister 10,000 courages, I wouldn't dare to lie to the emperor. No matter how you look at these symptoms, they are definitely dementia...
…”
"Your Majesty, according to what I have seen, the Emperor and Jiao Li are not infected with dementia, but the poison of the red flame lotus. This lotus blooms in the crater of the volcano. The poison is extremely rare and rare. The symptoms are nearly 10% similar to dementia.
, even doctors with excellent medical skills can hardly detect it."
The voice was young and clear, without any trembling of fear. Bei Gonglie raised his eyebrows curiously and looked at the doctors. Among the several old men, there was only one young doctor with black hair.
Bei Gonglie thought for a moment and said, "You just entered the palace last month. What's your name..."
"Your Majesty, my name is Wen Ruyu."
Bei Gonglie raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You are Wen Liangren's younger brother, right?"
"Back to the emperor, yes."
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes and saw that the young man in front of her was only twenty years old at most. His handsome face was as gentle as water, and his delicate features were as soft as jade carvings.
If I could describe him in one word, it would be as gentle as jade, which perfectly complements his name.
Bei Gonglie nodded and said, "Go to Leling Palace to search immediately."
"I obey the decree."
A quarter of an hour later.
"Let me go! How can I, a noble concubine, be pushed around by servants like you?!"
The Qingxin Hall, which had been silent for a long time, was lit up by a familiar voice from outside.
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly. Concubine Ling was afraid that she would not escape death, but... why did she want to assassinate Bei Gonglie?
She should understand that if Bei Gonglie dies, she will be buried with him. Doesn't she want to live?
Concubine Ling was pushed into the door, and she cried softly: "Your Majesty! They went too far. They pushed me so hard that it hurt me!"
She raised her eyes and saw Bei Gonglie sitting on the dragon throne with a serious expression and no joy at all.
Turning around again, he saw Chu Jiaoli standing aside.
Strange... why is she still here... If Chu Jiaoping had already taken action, she should be dying right now and would never dare to step into the palace again.
Even if he was really bold enough to go to the palace to cry to Bei Gonglie, his calm and composed expression did not look like he had been bullied at all.
Could it be that Chu Jiaoping accidentally lured her out as the real culprit behind the scenes?!
Just as he was thinking about it, Wen Ruyu walked in, bowed to Bei Gonglie, and said: "To inform the emperor, the incense in Leling Palace is indeed mixed with red flame lotus, and the tea that Miss Jiaoli mentioned, I was just in it."
The Snow Cloud Grass from Dongling Kingdom has been detected, and it has alleviated the effects of Red Flame Lotus. The people in Leling Palace take a cup of tea every day, so they have been in peace."
Hearing this, Concubine Ling was shocked in vain and fell to the ground. She looked up at the man who spoke.
The man's handsome face looked pure and harmless. Who on earth was he who could know about this little-known red flame lotus...
In this way, all her hard work has been in vain...
"Bastard!" Bei Gonglie clapped his hands hard and said, "Bai Ling'er, it's all in vain that I love you so much! You actually did such a thing to me!"
Concubine Ling, who was on the verge of collapse, was not frightened by this drink. She was stunned for a while, then sneered a few times and said: "Yes, I just want to harm you, you hypocrite, despicable and cunning villain!"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was suddenly shocked. Concubine Ling dared to say such words. She must have thought that the fish would die...
"You are so presumptuous!" As expected, there was a thunderous roar from the people on the throne.
Concubine Ling glared at him and said, "If you don't die, when will my Ling'er be freed?!"
"Huh." Bei Gonglie sneered and said, "Without me, do you think he can survive?"
Concubine Ling narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I have known for a long time that you mixed other poisons in Ling'er's medicinal diet, but you never thought about keeping him alive! Just because Ling'er was not born of that woman, you want to kill him
Put to death?!"
Bei Gonglie frowned and looked at her, as if he was afraid that she would cause something serious, and immediately ordered: "Drag her down and kill her immediately!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Ling was dragged down by the two of them.
She glared at Bei Gong Lie angrily and shouted with strong resentment: "Bei Gong Lie! Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing this?! He is your relative..."
When she spoke, Bei Gonglie turned sideways and pulled out the knife of the guard beside him, stood up and walked quickly to her. Before he could finish speaking, he raised the knife to seal her throat.
Blood spattered on his old face, and the kind and kind look he had in the past disappeared in an instant, and there were bursts of murderous intent hidden in his cloudy eyes.
