The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

It was already late at night, and Zhao Xian had already fallen asleep. Hearing that the prince had summoned him, he put on his official uniform and came straight to the East Palace with a saber without a word.

Luo Qinghan instructed: "Bring a team of Yulin Guards to arrest a few people. As for who to arrest, ask her."

He glanced at Baoqin next to him.

Baoqin understood, and immediately took a step forward with courage, and blessed her body: "You have General Zhao."

Zhao Xian is a practical person who doesn't like to talk, and immediately said: "Let's go."

They first went to the Golden Wind Palace.

Concubine Li was already awake at this time. She originally thought that the prince would come to visit her, but she did not expect that instead of waiting for the prince, she instead waited for a group of menacing Yulinwei.

Looking at Zhao Xian, who was the leader, Concubine Li was a little worried, but she still managed to pretend to be strong.

"What are you doing with so many people into the Golden Wind Palace?"

Zhao Xian said coldly: "At the end of the day, on the order of His Royal Highness, the prince will come to arrest someone."

Concubine Li: "Who are you arresting?"

Zhao Xian did not answer directly, but turned to look at Baoqin behind him.

Baoqin looked around the room, and finally stopped on Caiyun. She whispered, "It's her."

Zhao Xian pointed at Caiyun and said, "Take her down."

The two Yulinwei rushed forward and roughly tied Caiyun.

Caiyun was so frightened that she shouted, "My lady, save me!"

Concubine Li was shocked: "What are you doing? She is the maid next to me, why do you arrest her?"

Zhao Xian: "Sorry, this is the order of His Royal Highness, please don't embarrass us."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left the Golden Wind Palace.

Caiyun was also taken away together.

Concubine Li couldn't get up from the bed, so she could only lie on the bed and yell, trying to get them to give an explanation.

Too bad no one paid her any attention.

Then Zhao Xian took people to the Jade Lotus Palace without stopping.

This time they took the catkins from the Jade Lotus Temple.

Then he took Yingxiang from Ning Wuyuan.

After the three palace maids, Yu Linwei, were taken away, they faced severe torture.

This matter was personally supervised by Zhao Xian.

These three palace maids are very loyal to their masters, but after all, they have not experienced professional training. For them, this kind of torture is simply more uncomfortable than death.

Yu Linwei pried open their mouths with little effort.

Zhao Xian asked the answer he wanted from the palace maid as he wished.

He took the confession to Qingge Hall.

It was already early in the morning, and there was a pale fish maw white in the sky.

Luo Qinghan washed and changed his clothes.

Since he has to go to the ceremony of worshiping the sky later, he dressed up very solemnly today.

The outside is a black wide-sleeved robe with dark golden moiré embroidered on the sleeves and hem, the inside is a white brocade robe with a cross collar, and there is a layer of dark red tunic inside, only showing a little collar and sleeve edges. .

The layers of clothes on him, instead of pressing him down, made him look even more awe-inspiring.

Even though he was only nineteen years old, he already had the shape of a young emperor.

It's like a young eagle has spread its wings and will soon be able to soar in the sky.

Luo Qinghan pinched his forehead, he hadn't slept all night, and was inevitably a little tired.

Eunuch Chang asked someone to make a cup of strong tea, respectfully and authentically.

"Your Highness, drink some tea to refresh your mind."

Luo Qinghan took the tea cup and drank two big sips of strong tea, feeling his mind clearer.

Knowing that Zhao Xian was asking for an interview, he motioned for someone to come in.

After Zhao Xian came in, he knelt down on one knee: "His Royal Highness, the palace maids have confessed, this is their confession."

Luo Qinghan took the confession.

There were three confessions in total, the first two were only a few sentences and nothing, only the last one was full of words.

This is Caiyun's confession.

According to Caiyun's confession, she quietly poured arsenic into the tea of ​​Concubine Li, Concubine Bai, Concubine Xiao, and Duan Liangdi when others were unprepared.

As for who ordered her to do this?

She didn't say it explicitly, but from what she meant, it could be guessed that the person who instructed her to poison and framed Concubine Xiao was most likely Concubine Li.

Check here, the case has been very clear.

It was Concubine Li who deliberately poisoned Concubine Xiao, Concubine Bai, and Duan Liangdi out of jealousy. She even poisoned herself to clear her suspicions.

But Luo Qinghan didn't believe it.

He put down his confession and said coldly, "Caiyun is lying."

Zhao Xian was puzzled: "How does Your Highness see it?"

Luo Qinghan: "There is a big mistake in her confession. Concubine Xiao was not poisoned, but took the poison herself."

Zhao Xian was stunned.

He thought that Concubine Xiao, like the other three, was poisoned by others, but he did not expect Concubine Xiao to be poisoned by herself.

Countless thoughts popped into his mind instantly.

Luo Qinghan glanced at him and said lightly: "You don't have to suspect Concubine Xiao, she is not the murderer, someone wants to frame her on purpose, and she has no choice but to take poison."

Zhao Xian asked tentatively, "Then where did her poison come from?"

Luo Qinghan: "Naturally, the murderer deliberately hid in the Qingge Hall. The murderer wanted to use this to frame her, but fortunately, she found out in advance, so she escaped."

Zhao Xian thinks this is too coincidental.

He still felt that Concubine Xiao was very suspicious.

If it was him who presided over the case, he would definitely focus the investigation on Concubine Xiao.

But the prince trusts Concubine Xiao so much that he has no intention of checking her. Zhao Xian can only suppress the doubts in his heart and obey the prince's arrangement honestly.

Luo Qinghan: "You wash Caiyun, bring it to Qingge Hall, and show Concubine Xiao a look."

Zhao Xian didn't understand the purpose of doing this, but he wisely didn't ask any more questions, and answered, "Well."

After Zhao Xian left, Luo Qinghan got up and went to the bedroom, and saw that Xiao Xixi was still sleeping.

Her sleeping position was very restless, the quilt was torn by her, her arms were exposed, her lips were slightly open, and there was suspicious liquid around the corners of her mouth.

Luo Qinghan sat down beside the bed, wiped the saliva from her mouth with a handkerchief, and pinched her nose.

Xiao Xixi was woken up alive.

She pushed the prince's hand away, gasping for breath.

Luo Qinghan looked at her leisurely: "Awake?"

Xiao Xixi glanced at the sky outside, and complained angrily: "Look outside, it's not fully bright yet, can't you let me sleep a little longer? I'm a patient after all!"

Luo Qinghan didn't feel any guilt for ruining people's dreams, and said calmly, "I need your help with something, and you can go back to sleep after finishing it."

Xiao Xixi was so angry: "Can't we wait until later? Does it need to be so early? Zhou Papi is not as ruthless as you!"

Luo Qinghan: "Don't you want the bamboo forest in the backyard? As long as you finish this matter, I will give you the bamboo forest."
