Pin De's poisoning caused chaos in the palace, and her plan was a trap.

There is evil to be done away with, and the king is too angry to let it go.

Everyone was about to sleep at night when someone suddenly called for them from outside. Xiaoqing hurriedly opened the door and saw the advisor leading several eunuchs with lanterns in their hands.

"Counsellor, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" When Xiaoqing saw this scene, she seemed to have come with ill intentions, as she asked with wide eyes.

"Xiaoqing, with the imperial concubine's imperial decree, there's no other way. I have to search Master Rong's house." the counselor said apologetically.

"What did you say?" Search our master? Are you sure? Does the Emperor know? " Xiaoqing blocked the door, and asked while straightening her back.

"Xiaoqing, stop making things difficult for me. The Emperor doesn't know, but can I stay here?" The consultant pulled Xiaoqing to the side and ordered three to four eunuchs to enter.

Rong'er came out and looked at the advisory firm. "Eunuch Gu, what's going on?"

"Lord Rong, the Pin De was poisoned. Right now, the Emperor and Empress Dowager are both in the palace of the Pin De. Today, other than drinking two bowls of soup, the rest of the Pin De haven't eaten anything. And these two bowls of soup …" The consultant looked up at Rong'er.

Rong'er frowned slightly and continued, "One bowl is from me, the other one is from An Chang."

"Yes, Young Master Rong. The Pin De was crying sorrowfully in the palace, after all, she was someone of the two princes. The emperor can't be negligent, so the empress dowager directly ordered the imperial palace to investigate where you and An Chang were staying." The consultant replied softly.

"Understood, go ahead and search." Rong'er nodded, she didn't understand why the Pin De was poisoned, must it be a problem with the soup?

"Everyone, search carefully! Don't damage the things in the palace! " "Rongzi, don't blame the emperor. The emperor told me to come here because he knows I'm close to your palace and he's afraid that others will come and make you unhappy."

Rong'er shook his head lightly, "It's alright, Pin De was poisoned for no reason, it's very strange, can I go and see her?"

"Not yet." "You and An Chang are not allowed to leave the palace for the time being. Lord Rongzi, you must be feeling wronged. Perhaps the emperor will come to see you tomorrow."

Rong'er sighed, she understood what was going on, "How is Pin De doing now?"

Although she didn't know what kind of poison it was, she was still alright, it was just that she was crying very sorrowfully. She told the emperor that there must be someone who wanted to poison her, and that there must definitely be someone who had hidden the poison away. Pin De is a person who has caused the death of two princes, so she can be considered the most envied person in the imperial palace. The counselor sighed and lowered his voice. "This sort of thing has never happened before in our palace. Actually, neither the empress dowager nor the emperor suspects you. It's An Chang who had a criminal record before."

"Manager Gu, I can't find any poisonous substance …" A few eunuchs came back and reported to the counselor.

"Honorable son, I'm sorry to bother you." The counselor said apologetically and led the eunuch out of the room.

"Mistress, could it be that An Chang is really poisoning the Pin De?" Little Qing looked at Rong'er.

Rong'er lightly shook his head and did not say anything. She did not believe him, she truly did not dare to believe him, ah, no matter how stupid Li An Zhu was, she should not have brazenly poisoned Xuande in such a short amount of time, unless she really did not want to live.

Li An Zhu knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "Your majesty, Old Ancestor, Pin De, chenqie is innocent, chenqie is truly innocent!"

Looking at the two herbs Liang Jiuquan had brought back from his search for Lee Anzhu, Xuan Ye flew into a rage, "You're accusing me of injustice. Aren't you the one who secretly stored these?"

One of the purslane was hers, she didn't deny it, but the other was something she really didn't know, and yet she didn't dare to say that if she admitted that she had hidden it, she would also be guilty of hiding it.

Seeing that Li An Zhu remained silent, Xuan Ye snorted coldly and looked towards the imperial physician, "Look at these two herbs that poisoned Pin De?"

"Yes sir!" The imperial physician took it and looked at it carefully. He lifted one of the herbs and said, "Ah! This is a wooden turtle, a medicine from the Western Regions, according to the medical book < Primitive of the Herbs >: 'A wooden turtle, wood like the son of a wooden turtle, round and flat, with white fur and a bitter taste. When a bird is poisoned, it will twitch and die. When a dog is poisoned, it will die from pain. If you were to mistakenly accept it, it will cause your limbs to clench. ' It seems like the illness is very similar to the Pin De. "

"Lee Anzhu, you're too malicious, you actually want to poison me to death. Was it you who harmed Yin You's leg?" When the Pin De heard this, she cried bitterly.

"No …" Not Me... "I really don't know what's wrong with this medicine. It really wasn't me …" Lee An-zhu felt an unprecedented sense of fear, she shouted in panic.

"Humph!" Xuan Ye gave her a cold stare before turning to the imperial physician and asking, "What kind of medicine is that other herb?"

"In reply to the emperor, I believe that this is purslane, a kind of wild vegetable commonly eaten by common folk." In reply to the emperor, in light of my opinion, this is purslane, a kind of wild vegetable commonly eaten by common folk. The imperial physician said thoughtfully.

"Humph!" Lee Anzhu, you must have taken the medicine in the soup that Cheng promised! " Xuan Ye glared fiercely at Li Anzhu.

"Your majesty is clear, chenqie is wronged!" Lee Anzhu cried with all her might.

"Men, bring Lee Anzhu's palace maid!" Xuan Ye ignored her and commanded sternly.

Lee Anzhu's three palace maids were brought here, they were all so scared that their bodies were trembling. As soon as they knelt, they said in unison, "Your majesty, please forgive us, we servants really didn't know that it was all done by our master alone, we don't know at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What did I do!" Lee An-zhu suddenly stood up and was about to pounce on a palace maid.

"Stop fooling around!" The empress dowager who had been silent and sulking suddenly shouted! Someone, hold down Li Anzhu! "

The two eunuchs went forward to hold down Lee Anzhu, who cried out loud, "You lowly girls, you actually betrayed me!"

"Shut up!" The empress dowager yelled again as she stared at the three palace maids kneeling on the ground. "Speak, tell This Dowager everything you know!"

"Yes sir!" One of the palace maids said in a trembling voice, "Mistress had locked herself in her room and did not let us in. Once, a servant peeked in and found out that Mistress was mixing some herbs into juice. I thought it was strange, so I secretly told Flower and Young Mistress." As he spoke, he looked towards the two palace maids by his side.

"Yes!" The two palace maids immediately nodded, the palace maid called Hua'er lifted her head and answered: "Later on, we discovered that Master secretly poured the medicinal juice into the promised soup, we asked Mistress what kind of medicine it was, Mistress warned us not to talk too much, we did not ask, we really did not know anything, only now did we know that it was poison!"

"We really don't know!" The three palace maids said while kowtowing.

"Hmph, Lee Anzhu, what else do you have to say?" Xuan Ye said angrily as he stared at Lee Anzhu. He was truly angry.

"Chenqie is being unjustly accused …" Lee Anzhu was still crying.

"This time, the witness and evidence are both here. Why are you wronged?" "In the past, the empress dowager had given you an opportunity to harm your concubine, but you refused to correct your wrongs and were still thinking of harming others. This time, I will absolutely not forgive you!" Xuan Ye slammed the table, his voice loud and clear. Everyone present could feel his anger.

"Take him down and lock him up." The empress dowager waved her hand tiredly, causing Lee Anzhu to cry as she was carried away.

"Your Majesty, please comfort Pin De. This Dowager will return first. Tomorrow, go to my palace. We will discuss how to punish Lee Anzhu." After the empress dowager received Xuan Ye's response, she led Lama Lady Su away from Yonghe Palace.

In the blink of an eye, the bustling palace quietened down.

"I pity you." Xuan Ye gently held Xuan De's hand. "Take good care of your illness."

"Your majesty, why is An Changzai so vicious? Is she trying to kill chenqie?" Xuande's tears flowed again.

Xuan Ye lightly wiped his tears away with his hand. "She's jealous of you. He's jealous of all the women who give birth to my children. It's alright now. Have a good rest." Xuan Ye turned his head and called out, "Consultant."

"Your servant is here." Xuan Ye quietly instructed, "You should go and look for your concubine and scare her, right? Go and tell her that she's fine now. Let her rest well today. Zhen will go and see her tomorrow."

"Your servant commands." After the counselor had left, Xuan Ye turned his head to Xuan De and softly said, "Sleep. You'll have a good night's sleep. We'll stay here to accompany you today."

Xuande obediently closed her eyes, sighing softly in her heart. This time, she really felt that she was right, she was the one who ordered Xiuping to release the wooden turtle, and the purslane was indeed hidden by Li Anzhu, and the discovery of her meant that Li Anzhu truly had a malicious heart, her intuition was right, and she was the main wife of Li Anzhu's palace. Sooner or later, Li Anzhu would set her sights on her, and she couldn't live in fear.
