One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Baili Qingqing's eyes turned cold, "You said that the people who assassinated the imperial guards were captured by you?"

Chu Junyi cupped her hands and replied, "Not all of them were captured alive. Only a few were captured, but I think I've found something."

Baili Qingfeng ordered coldly, "Bring them here!"

Chu Junyi looked at the man in black, his eyes as sharp as knives, "Father, these men suddenly appeared when the princess was being summoned to the palace to assassinate the imperial guards. Chu Junyi looked at the man in black, her eyes as sharp as a knife," Father, these men suddenly appeared when the princess was being summoned to the palace to assassinate the imperial guards.

The nobleman gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger: "Who knows if what you said is true?"

Chu Junyi turned her head to look at her, but her handsome face was so cold it could cause a chill in one's heart. "My lord, what I just said was very clear. All the imperial guards were present, and the commander of the imperial guards is a witness."

"Although they themselves have made it clear that their identities are suspicious, they can't even use evidence against us. Who knows if you guys are doing this on purpose?"

Chu Junyi smirked. "Those men fired a cold shot before they appeared. If it weren't for my protection, I'm afraid the princess would have been injured by now. May I ask, milord, why am I acting like this?"

"Then who can guarantee it?" The noble continued to grit his teeth and persevere.

Shen Ninghua frowned and interrupted the nobleman's words, "My lord, the Prince Consort has already said it. The person is right in front of you, why do you have to be so aggressive and throw dirty water on my head? Now that you have stated it so decisively, could it be that you know something? "

"What can I know?"

The nobleman paused, and raised his head to look at Baili Qingyuan's impatient expression, and his heart immediately shrunk. Previously, she was able to act so boldly and confidently because of the child she had just lost, if she were to continue pestering him, it would arouse the emperor's suspicions.

The empress lowered her eyes, a slight ripple passing through her calm eyes. Those assassins in black had blood on their four limbs and dislocated jaws. It was obvious that their martial arts had been crippled and their poison sacs had been pulled out.

The leader of the imperial guards led his men forward to wake the black-clothed man up, then locked him up on the ground.

The leader of the men in black came to his senses. When he saw the magnificent hall, he subconsciously gritted his teeth. However, he did not want to feel that his mouth was empty. Only then did he realize that his poison bag had been pulled out.

Just asking a simple question would take a long time, and in the end, it might not be satisfactory. Earlier, Xiao Ning Hua and Chen Yuan were working on a medicine that could help people relax their minds, and could only concoct ten pills, which could be used just in time. I wonder how royal father would like it? "

"A pill that can relax a person's mind?"

"That's right, this pill has an extremely strong medicinal effect. If an ordinary person takes it, they will feel a great pain as their consciousness will be swallowed. Only those with extremely strong willpower will be able to endure through it."

"Try it." A thought suddenly appeared in Baili Qingqing's eyes. This medicinal effect could be said to be extremely miraculous. If it was used on spies from the empire, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?

Shen Ninghua nodded at Chen Jun, "Principal Chen, you're …"

Chen nodded his head and told someone to fetch the medicine for the assassin in black.

The man in black showed no reaction at first, but after a while, his whole body spasmed and he rolled back and forth on the ground, sweating profusely.

His concubines who were sitting at the side all turned their heads away, covering their chests in fear, not daring to look.

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes as her thoughts quickly spun. Just now, when she said that there was such a pill, the Queen was momentarily stunned. Although she quickly adjusted herself, she still saw through it. However, after the black-clothed person took the pill, although her expression was slightly nervous, she didn't panic too much.

Was she wrong? These people in black weren't sent by the empress, or did the man in black have no idea who his master was?

The second possibility should be higher. It seemed that he needed to continue the investigation.

Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Baili Qingfeng stared at the black clothed men on the ground. After they stopped convulsing, he coldly asked, "Who are you guys?"

The black-clothed man's eyes were dull as he was knelt on the ground by the guard. After hearing Baili Qingfeng's question, he replied somewhat sluggishly:

"Death Soldiers."

"Who ordered you to assassinate the Janissaries?"

"Mistress."

Baili Qingfeng frowned as he looked at Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi. Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Who is your master?"

"Mistress."

"Is your mistress Shen Ninghua or Chu Junyi?"

"No."

Baili Qing let out a sigh of relief. After confirming that it was not the two of them, his tensed heart finally relaxed. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw the black clothed man open his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of black blood.

Chen Ying walked up to inspect the body and reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this person is already dead. The effects of the pills are too strong, causing great harm to the human body. These men in black had previously lost their martial arts skills, and their bodies were injured.

"How many pills are left?"

"Due to the rarity of the materials, I only made ten of them. I just used one, so there are still nine left."

"Write down the materials and hand them to me tomorrow."

"Yes, this humble subject obeys."

In order to continue questioning, Baili Qingfeng ordered the rest of the men in black to be fed another pill. Unfortunately, that man in black did not have a strong willpower.

Baili Qing Cang frowned as he pondered. Then, he instructed the imperial guards to place the remaining assassins in the Celestial Prison to guard them.

The Queen's straight back gradually relaxed as the curve of her back changed.

The nobleman knelt on the ground, gritting his teeth as he tore off his handkerchief. The light in his eyes constantly changed. The assassination of the imperial guards actually had nothing to do with Shen Ninghua.

"Your Majesty …"

Shen Ninghua turned his head to look at the nobleman with a smile that was not a smile and asked, "Does the nobleman want to talk about Merlin's fire?"

"You … Shouldn't Princess Merlin's fire explain? After all, so many madams and young misses have been injured. If they are not dealt with properly, the various lords in the imperial court would not agree to it. "

Shen Ninghua nodded, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Sir, your words are correct. Merlin's fire accident needs to be investigated thoroughly." royal father, this son originally did not understand, but now, I have finally thought it through. Today, everything that has happened is clearly a trap set up to kill this son! "

Baili Qingfeng naturally discovered that something was wrong. Upon hearing Shen Ninghua's words, he nodded, indicating for her to continue speaking.

Baili Qingfeng gritted his teeth, "This scoundrel is really despicable!"

Shen Ninghua added, "Imperial Father, the third round is to use those assassins in black to assassinate the imperial guards. According to the plan, she should be planning to kill Prince Consort and I. If that doesn't work, then she'll have to shout loudly for us to be saved. To attempt to assassinate the Janissaries would be tantamount to committing a crime, and even if we were to die, we will never be able to atone for it. "

"You're right, this plan is too ingenious. If not for your intelligence and the fact that Prince Consort Consort has caught the assassin in full force, it would have been difficult for you to dispel this suspicion. Damn it, this is too despicable!" The officials kneeled down and did not say a word. They did not expect the situation to change so quickly. Just as everyone was astonished, Shen Ninghua spoke once again.

"Father, there is still a fourth killing ground!"

Everyone immediately focused their gazes on her. "There's a fourth?"

"That's right," Shen Ninghua lowered his head and touched the ground. His jade-colored fingertip brushed against the golden ground, then he placed it on his nose and sniffed, "Imperial Father, the ground is smeared with poison."

The main hall of the Accomplishment Hall was smeared with poison?

The Golden Hall was the place where he stayed in the imperial court. If there was a problem with this place, then where else could he find a safe place in the imperial palace?

"Chen Jun, go take a look!"

Chen Chui quickly went up to check and found nothing wrong with the other parts of the room. When he reached the area in front of where Shen Ninghua was kneeling, he frowned and said, "Princess, please get up."

Shen Ninghua stood up and stood to the side.

Chen Jun examined it for some time before replying with a grave expression, "Reporting to Your Majesty, most of the grounds in the Hall of Acceptance have no problems, only the one in front has been soaked in poison. This is a poison which this official has never seen before, but I can confirm that after touching the skin, this poison can seep into the human body through the skin, causing a great deal of harm."

"Ning Hua, did you notice something wrong with the ground and you're still kneeling?" Chu Junyi held Shen Ninghua's hand, her face filled with worry. "Imperial Father, can you allow the princess to go down and wash and change her clothes?"

"That's right, Ning Hua. Quickly go and change your clothes, and get the imperial physician to examine you as well."

Shen Ninghua shook her head and replied, "Imperial Father, this subject knows about this poison. Once you touch it, it will seep through your pores into your body, it will be too late when you discover it, this poison is extremely dark and cold, it's nothing to a man, it's just a serious illness, if it's a woman, it will affect your son, if you are pregnant, it's easy for you to miscarry, if you are not pregnant, it will be difficult for you to bear a child in the future. "

"What?"

Chu Junyi held Shen Ninghua's hand tightly, her palms were drenched in sweat. "Condensed Flowers …"

Shen Ninghua gently shook her hand and secretly wrote a "no" under the cover of her sleeve.

Chu Junyi was relieved, and felt cold sweat trickle down her back. However, his performance was even more convincing, causing many of the concubines by the side to cry out loud. They had knelt on the ground before, "Your majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly to seek justice for chenqie and the rest!"
