It was already late at night. Zhao xianzao had gone to bed. Hearing that the crown prince was summoned, he put on his official clothes and came straight to the east palace with a knife.

Luo QingHan said, "take a team of Yu Linwei and catch some people. As for who to catch, ask her."

He glanced at the nearby Baoqin.

Baoqin understood and immediately took the courage to step forward, blessing the body: "thank you, General Zhao."

Zhao Xian is a doer and doesn't like to talk. He immediately said, "let's go."

They first went to the golden wind hall.

Imperial concubine Li woke up at this time. She thought the prince would come to see her. Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for the prince, she waited for a group of aggressive Yu Linwei.

Looking at the leader Zhao Xian, concubine Li was a little scared, but she still reluctantly pretended to be strong.

"What are you doing with so many people breaking into the golden wind hall?"

Zhao Xian said coldly, "the end will come to catch a man on the order of his Highness the prince."

Imperial concubine Li: "who are you going to catch?"

Zhao Xian didn't answer directly, but turned to look at the Baoqin behind him.

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

Zhao Xian pointed to Caiyun and said, "take her down."

Two jade guards rushed forward and roughly tied Caiyun up.

Caiyun was so frightened that he shouted, "madam, help me!"

Concubine Li was stunned and said, "what are you doing? She is a palace maid beside me. Why should you catch her?"

Zhao Xian: "sorry, this is the order of the crown prince. Please don't embarrass us."

Then he turned and left the golden wind hall.

Caiyun was also taken away.

Imperial concubine Li couldn't get out of bed. She had to lie on the bed and shout, trying to get them to give an explanation.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her.

Then Zhao Xian took people to the jade lotus hall.

This time they took catkins from the jade lotus hall.

Then he took Yingxiang from ningwuyuan.

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

The matter was supervised by Zhao Xian himself. The Yulin guards were extremely cruel and had no pity for Yu.

The three palace maids are loyal to their masters, but they have not experienced professional training after all. This torture is more painful for them than death.

With little effort, Yu Linwei pried open their mouths.

Zhao Xian asked the palace maid the answer she wanted.

He went to Qingge hall with his confession.

It was already early in the morning, and a faint white fish belly appeared on the horizon.

Luo QingHan washed and changed his clothes.

Because he has to attend the sacrificial ceremony later, he dressed up very solemnly today.

Outside is a dark black wide sleeved Chinese robe. Dark gold cloud patterns are embroidered on the sleeves and hem. Inside is a white cross collar robe, and there is a layer of dark red Chinese clothes, revealing only a little collar and sleeve edge.

Layers of clothes on him not only didn't press him down, but made him look more awe inspiring.

Even if he was only nineteen years old, he already had the rudiment of the young emperor.

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

Luo QingHan pinched his forehead and didn't sleep all night. He was inevitably a little tired.

Father Chang asked people to make a cup of strong tea and respectfully.

"Your Highness, drink some tea to refresh yourself."

Luo QingHan took the cup of tea and drank two mouthfuls of strong tea. He felt that his mind was clearer.

Knowing that Zhao Xian wanted to see him, he motioned for someone to come in.

After Zhao Xian came in, he knelt on one knee: "tell your highness that the palace maids have confessed. This is their confession."

Luo QingHan took the confession.

There are three confessions in total. The first two have only a few words and nothing. Only the last one is full of words.

This is Caiyun's confession.

According to Caiyun's confession, she quietly put arsenic in the tea of concubine Li, concubine Bai, concubine Xiao and Duan Liangdi when people were unprepared.

As for who ordered her to do so?

She didn't say it clearly, but it can be guessed from her implication that nine out of ten people who ordered her to poison and plant it for Princess Xiao were Princess Li.

Here, the case is clear.

Out of jealousy, concubine Li deliberately poisoned concubine Xiao, concubine Bai and Duan Liangdi. She even didn't hesitate to poison herself to get rid of the suspicion.

But Luo QingHan didn't believe it.

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

Zhao Xian didn't understand: "Your Highness, how can you see?"

Luo QingHan: "there is a big mistake in her confession. Concubine Xiao was poisoned not by others, but by herself."

Zhao Xian was stunned.

He thought that concubine Xiao, like the other three people, was poisoned by others. Unexpectedly, concubine Xiao took the poison herself.

Countless thoughts popped up in his mind.

Luo QingHan glanced at him and said faintly, "you don't have to doubt concubine Xiao. She's not the murderer. Someone wants to frame her deliberately. She has to take poison."

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

Luo QingHan: "naturally, the murderer deliberately hid in the Qingge hall. The murderer wanted to plant it for her. Fortunately, she found it in advance, which saved him."

Zhao Xian thought it was too coincidental.

He still thinks concubine Xiao is very suspicious.

If he was the presiding judge of the case, he would certainly focus his investigation on concubine Xiao.

But the prince trusted Princess Xiao very much. He didn't mean to check her at all. Zhao Xian could only suppress those doubts in his heart and listen to the prince's arrangement honestly.

Luo QingHan: "you wash the colorful clouds, bring them to the Qingge hall and give Princess Xiao a look."

Zhao Xian didn't understand the purpose of doing so, but he cleverly didn't ask much. He bowed his hand and said, "here."

After Zhao Xian left, Luo QingHan got up and went to the bedroom. He saw Xiao Xi still sleeping.

Her sleeping position was very restless, the quilt was pulled in a mess by her, both arms were exposed, her lips were slightly open, and there was suspicious liquid at the corners of her mouth.

Luo QingHan sat down by the bed, wiped the saliva off her mouth with a handkerchief, and then pinched her nose.

Xiao Xi was awakened alive.

She pushed away the prince's hand and gasped.

Luo QingHan looked at her leisurely: "wake up?"

Xiao Xi looked at the sky outside and complained sadly: "look outside, it's not completely bright yet. Can't you let me sleep again? I'm also a patient anyway!"

Luo QingHan didn't feel guilty about ruining Qingmeng at all. He said calmly, "there's something I need your help. You can go back to sleep after doing it."

Xiao Xi was very angry: "what can't be done later? Do you need it so early? Zhou pickpocketing is not as cruel as you!"

Luo QingHan: "don't you want the bamboo forest in the backyard? As long as you finish this, Gu will give you the bamboo forest."
