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

Baili Qingyuan suddenly stood up and quickly walked down the stairs to the front of Baili Jinyi, "You can solve the problem?"

"Princess Radiant …" Chen Jun turned to look at Shen Ninghua and asked with a tone full of questions.

Shen Ninghua nodded her head and replied, "Imperial Father, I still have the Snow Lotus Pellet that I gave you previously, right? The Snow Lotus Pellet was given to the Emperor by the Sixth Prince of the Great Yue State. Your son and son had been studying it for a long time before they were able to concoct it.

When the third prince saw that the crown prince had been poisoned to the point that he vomited blood, he was so happy that he almost jumped up in joy. It was with great difficulty that he managed to suppress the excitement in his heart.

This poison was too timely. It would be best if the crown prince died just like that! However, Shen Ninghua's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on his head before he could finish being happy.

The Snow Lotus Pellet had been delivered by the Sixth Prince of the Great Yue State, Bu Jinglan. This...

Baili QingCang hurriedly got the attendant to bring a Snow Lotus Pill over and fed it to the crown prince.

"Is my beloved official Chen alright?"

Chen Yu checked the crown prince's pulse, and after a long while, he nodded. "Your majesty, the crown prince was poisoned with the same poison as the Empress before. Fortunately, the crown prince took the antidote in time and is fine."

Hearing that, Baili Qingfeng's eyebrows twitched, "You said that the poison in the crown prince is the same as the poison in the empress earlier?"

"Yes, it was indeed the same poison. It was poisoned by wine."

Baili Qingfeng turned his head to look at the palace maid behind the crown prince who was pouring wine, "Bring the wine pot in your hand over and let Chen Aiqing inspect it."

That palace maid's face was extremely pale, she almost fell down when she walked around the table. She walked slowly to the front of the Chen Courtyard and sent the jug of wine to Chen Jun to have a look.

Chen Zhen examined some of the wine and shook his head: "Your majesty, there's no poison in the wine."

"Hmm? Was the poison added on the cup? "

Chen Jun passed the wine jug to the palace maid, who hurriedly took it with both hands.

Suddenly, Chen Jun grabbed the palace maid's wrist. "What did you paint on your fingernails?"

"Your servant hasn't applied anything." Trembling all over, the palace maid quickly retracted her arm, turned around, and ran towards the palace gate.

Baili Qing Cang shouted coldly, "Stop her!"

The deathsworn, who were hiding in the shadows, grabbed the palace maid and threw her to the ground.

The surrounding officials hurriedly got up and kneeled on the ground, not daring to raise their heads in fear of provoking any trouble. The empress had just gotten into trouble, and now there was someone trying to poison the crown prince.

"How dare you! You actually dared to poison the crown prince in front of my face! Did you eat the guts of a leopard?"

Even though her finger was broken, the palace maid didn't scream in pain. Instead, she smiled, no longer showing any signs of her previous timid and fearful look, "This servant only wanted to protect herself, but now it seems that I can't even protect myself anymore."

"Self-defense?" You tried to poison the crown prince, is he trying to kill you? For no reason at all, he would kill a palace maid? "

"How did the emperor know it was for no reason?"

Baili Qing Cang's eyelids twitched, thinking that the poison in the crown prince's body was the same as the empress's, he felt a chill in his heart, "Why is that so?"

"The poison in this servant's hand can't explain everything?" The palace maid laughed coldly.

Although he had taken the Snow Lotus Pellet, his face was still pale. With a face full of anger, he quickly walked in front of the palace maid, "You and I have never met before, and I have never had the intention of killing you.

"Crown Prince, don't be too hasty! Do you really think I don't dare to say it? " Baili Jinyi kicked him, "How dare you, you lowly slave! Fine, then tell me!"

"Pfft!" The palace maid spat out a mouthful of blood.

Baili Qingfeng took two steps back, then turned around to look at the steward, "Go take a look."

"Your Majesty, that palace maid is already dead."

What?

The crown prince's expression changed. He was angry and had only kicked. He did not use much strength, so how could she die? "Imperial Father, your son just …"

Baili Qingqing suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "It's just a maid. Someone, drag her out."

The third prince was fuming to the point that his teeth were about to shatter. His father had only dragged that palace maid away and did not pursue the matter. It seemed like he was going to make sure that the crown prince would be safe! What kind of thing was the crown prince for his father to protect him like this?!

Baili Junyi's face was filled with self-reproach. "My royal brother, it's all my fault. I've always wanted to show you my skills, but who would've thought that such a troublesome matter would arise?"

Baili Jinyi looked at him seriously, but could only see self-blame on his face. This Fifth Imperial brother of his, he couldn't figure it out at all, "No worries, how can this be blamed on you? Even I don't understand what's going on."

Baili Junyi waved her hand confidently. "If you don't understand, then forget about it. Who knows why she's gone mad. Royal brother, you've just been poisoned, so it shouldn't matter. Today's banquet is also for you. If you leave, then it'll be a disappointment."

At first, Baili Jinyi wanted to use this as an excuse to leave, but then he remembered the importance of this banquet. He could only go along with her and say, "It's alright. The Snow Lotus Pellet is hard to find. Thank you so much, Princess Radiant."

Looking at Prince An and Bu Jinglan, Shen Ninghua faintly smiled.

"We should still thank the Sixth Prince of Great Yue State. If it wasn't for him gifting the snow lotus to us, the consequences would have been severe." However, it was a pity. If he had known earlier that his mother was poisoned by the Snow Lotus Pellet, he would have been fine. "

Baili Jinyi raised his head with a swoosh. When his gaze landed on Shen Ninghua's face, his heart violently trembled.

Shen Ninghua raised her head to look at him, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. "Your Highness, don't blame yourself too much. It's understandable that you didn't think of it in such a short time."

All of a sudden, Baili Qingfeng opened his mouth, "Ningxia, the Crown Prince also knows about the effects of the Snow Lotus Pellet?"

Shen Ninghua raised her gaze with a hint of doubt, "Imperial Father, did Imperial Father forget? When I was bringing the Snow Lotus Pellet into the palace, I coincidentally caught the presence of His Highness the Crown Prince. At that time, I clearly stated the effects of the pellet.

The hall was frighteningly quiet, only the sound of intentionally lowered breathing could be heard.

Despite knowing that there was a Snow Lotus Pill to cure the poison, the crown prince didn't say it out loud. Instead, he watched as his birth mother died. What kind of character was this?

Baili Qingfeng's expression was unsettled. His gaze, which was filled with immense pressure, landed on the crown prince as he scrutinized him with a seriousness he had never seen before: Had the crown prince forgotten or had he purposely forgotten? Was what the Feng Family said about the Zhao Family true?

Baili Jinyi's gaze trembled, he felt as if that gaze had pierced his heart, he suddenly clutched his chest, and spat out another mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with an unprecedented desolation, "I actually forgot … I actually forgot … "

Chen Xi hurriedly went up to check his pulse. "The Crown Prince was too upset, so he couldn't bear to spit out a mouthful of blood. However, these days his mind has been in a mess and spitting out blood is good for him. In the future, he will just need to recuperate and recuperate. "

He had helped the crown prince purify the situation. After all, he could be so heartbroken that he vomited blood. Perhaps he had really forgotten about it at the time.

Baili Qingfeng retracted his gaze and coldly replied, "Mn, I understand. My dear sirs, why have you stopped? Could it be that you are not satisfied with the banquet?"

In an instant, the hall became lively once again. Everyone had smiles on their faces, but some of them were even uglier than crying.

Baili Qing Cang laughed coldly as he looked at him disdainfully, "Crown Prince, is your body able to hold on?"

"En, that's good then. Let's continue with the feast. After all, the banquet today was prepared for you."

"Yes, this son thanks royal father."

The palace maid behind him had already changed hands, but he still felt chills behind his back. Today's matter was a trap, a trap specially set up for him, and he didn't know who was behind it …

Baili Junyi sat back down, holding Shen Ninghua's hand as if this was the only way to be at ease. He turned his head slightly and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him, "Ninghua …"

Shen Ninghua looked out at the sky. The sky had already dimmed down, and he could vaguely see the armored guards holding onto the long spears. They gripped each other tightly as they returned to gripping Baili Junyi's hand.

Suddenly, a hint of red appeared in the dark sky. At first, it was very faint, but it became thicker and thicker. Half of the sky was dyed in red.

"What's going on?"

"This …"

Baili Qingfeng looked toward the entrance. His brows were furrowed extremely tightly as he instructed the guards, "Go and take a look. What exactly happened?"

After about half a quarter of an hour, the imperial guards ran back. "Reporting to Your Majesty, there has been an extra fire in the capital. The imperial guards are currently putting out the fire."

"Fire? Where is the governor of the capital? "

Sun Ning quickly stepped forward, "This humble subject is here."

"Check it out. See what's going on?"

"This humble subject accepts the decree."

Baili Junyi looked at the prince's throne opposite him. The Second Prince had been silent the entire time. This was his usual demeanor upon his return from the battlefield. Nothing special had happened. The third prince tried his best to control his expression, but his anger and injustice could still be seen. The Sixth Prince looked depressed as it was none of his business.

However, he did not know how many people would still be able to maintain their current expressions when the matter came to light!

The people in the main hall were absent-minded and didn't take the fire that suddenly exploded to heart. After all, the sky was dry and the objects were dry. From time to time, there would be a fire.

The governor walked in quickly. It was already autumn, and the night was cool and refreshing. However, he spoke as if he had just been pulled out of water. "Your majesty!"

"Where was the fire, and did the people suffer?"

"Go back … In reply to the emperor … "The place where the fire broke out was the East District's Fang Building on the west side of the city, the Ten Thousand Flowers House on the west side, the Drunk Dream Fragrance Pavilion and the Spring Pavilion..."

At the beginning, Baili Qingfeng did not pay much attention to this, but the more he heard, the more he felt that something was amiss, "Why are these places with strange names?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, these places are all … They are all famous brothels! " The Prefecture Overseer said hesitantly.

"You said all the places that caught fire were brothels?"

"Yes, did you catch the murderer?"

"No, but someone found a few books."

Baili Qingfeng's face darkened, "Bring it in!"

The steward of the imperial guards broke out in a cold sweat. When he saw that the steward had handed over the account book, he could not help but kneel on the floor!

"Good!" Good! "Truly worthy of being my good subject, truly worthy of being my good son!"
