Chapter 287 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Thirty-Six)

Seeing that she was in critical condition and had not woken up for a long time, Xuan Yunian introduced Qiao Zhi to Emperor Liang. Unexpectedly, Emperor Liang used Qiao Zhi to thoroughly investigate the harem and dug up a lot of things. Even two of his own men were killed. However, he was sure that the two men would not expose him.

A secret medicine from Qi State, taken three times, the patient gradually died in half a month. Xuan Yunian quickly figured out what the medicine was, Zhenhong!

After taking Zhenhong three times, a person will die in his sleep, leaving only a streak of blood-red at the corner of his mouth to prove the existence of the poison.

This kind of palace secret medicine has been banned in Qi Palace ever since a favorite concubine died of pillow red. Unexpectedly, it appeared in Liang Palace!

These Qi spies were all sent by the Emperor of Qi. The Emperor of Qi was old, indulged in beauty, and obsessed with alchemy. He allowed the eunuchs who succeeded him to power. He did not hope to train a good prince, but instead wanted to use conspiracy and trickery to disrupt the government of Liang. It was ridiculous!

Concubine Xu's pregnancy affected the former dynasty and the harem. Indeed, many people did not want her to give birth to the emperor's eldest son, but it was still unknown whether the fetus in her belly was a boy or a girl, so most people were not so impatient.

Most of the people who did this were either enemies of Concubine Xu, such as Ji Zhaoyi, whom he had found. Although there was no evidence to prove that she poisoned Concubine Xu, she had great ill will towards her.

Those who attacked Concubine Xu were mostly spies from both countries hiding in the Liang Palace!

He even pointed the finger at Cui Li! This annoyed him even more!

This is also one of the reasons why he never wanted to return to Qi.

Qiao Zhi always felt that Xuan Yunian was a little strange. Was he thinking about Emperor Liang, or was he thinking about the secret agent from Qi?

Still thinking about beauty...

He couldn't help but try it out.

Qiao Zhi: "Concubine Cui was lucky. She fell into a coma after hitting the rockery, but she survived. There was a Qi spy lurking in Chengqian Palace, but she didn't get the Pillow Red. Fortunately, she wasn't poisoned. If she had been exposed to even a little bit, even if she was discovered in time and the poison could be cured, she would have been heartbroken by its effects."

Xuan Yunian: “Heartbroken?”

Qiao Zhi: "Yes! What do you think happened to Concubine Cui? If she was poisoned and discovered too late, Emperor Liang would not only lose his beloved concubine, but also..."

Xuan Yunian knew that Qiao Zhi was testing him, but he still couldn't help but care.

Xuan Yunian: "What? You still want to keep people in suspense? Why don't you become a storyteller?"

Qiao Zhi snorted, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Qiao Zhi: "What's next is of paramount importance. Emperor Liang has no intention of revealing any of the palace secrets. The time is not right now. I, a mere judge of the Imperial Hospital, dare not offend the emperor!"

Xuan Yunian's eyelids twitched at this exaggerated performance, but he could really deal with Qiao Zhi.

Today I asked Qiao Zhi to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion through the secret passage because I wanted to get the information I wanted from him. How can I give up when I am halfway through?

Xuan Yunian put down the book, picked up the teacup and took a sip, without rushing to speak.

After a stick of incense, Qiao Zhi left through the secret passage indignantly.

Qiao Zhi: "Xuan Yunian, just wait for me! Try to trick me! Humph! Next time, be careful or I'll poison you and make you mute!"

Xuan Yunian ignored the angry Qiao Zhi and waited for his subordinates to send Qiao Zhi away safely. He sat alone in the study for a long time before getting up and taking out a scroll from the secret compartment. It was a silhouette picture of a beautiful woman smelling a flower.

Xuan Yunian: "Time flies, and the girl from back then is about to become a mother. Alas, if I had proposed earlier, would you have become Yunian's wife?"

Fate or no destiny...

Xuan Yunian touched the scroll, and through the painting of the beauty, he seemed to return to those days in the past, the days of embarrassment, pain, and happiness...

He couldn't help feeling sad because his beloved married someone else and was now pregnant, but he quickly calmed down.

Cui Li was not only the woman he loved, but also the little girl who descended from the sky and rescued him from those human traffickers.

She helped him escape from the abyss of suffering and sent him to Tzu Chi Hall. It was also at the door of Tzu Chi Hall that he met the national master, who took a fancy to him and adopted him as his son, thus changing his fate.
