“Yan Yan!
Quickly catch Xue Wanyi!"
Xuan Ling threw away the glass cup and ran to the stream at the end of Qushui Liushang like a flash of lightning.
Sheng Xiyan sat down in the stream, splashing water everywhere. Fortunately, this stream was a man-made landscape and the water was not deep.
Xue Wanyi also jumped into the stream and chased after Sheng Xiyan.
"Help!" Sheng Xiyan got up and ran forward.
Gao Shurong threw away her fan and slid down the stone slope. Lin Xiuyi followed, and another person was Yu Meiren. The three of them went down and grabbed Xue Wanyi from behind.
Xue Wanyi stabbed around with the scissors like crazy, and the three people ducked down to avoid her.
In an instant, the guards rushed down and subdued Xue Wanyi.
Xuan Ling just arrived in front of him, stretched out his hand to Sheng Xiyan and shouted, "Yan Yan, come up quickly."
Sheng Xiyan turned around and when she saw him, her expression changed from horror to aggrieved pout and red eyes.
He didn't even give him a hand, just stood there.
It seems like a baby who is angry and upset with adults.
"Yanyan, come up quickly!"
Sheng Xiyan ignored him, turned around and shouted, "Sister Gao..."
Gao Shurong and the others, all soaked, walked towards her.
Xuan Ling saw Sheng Xiyan was soaked and hurriedly ordered, "Go get my cloak."
"Thank you, Sister Gao, Sister Lin, and Sister Yu."
Gao Shurong smiled and said, "Hey, it's okay, let's go up quickly."
Sheng Xiyan climbed up, and Xuan Ling pulled her up by her arms.
As soon as she came up and before she could stand firmly, he touched her forehead.
Then he looked at her hands. "It's a little scratched. What about your body? Where did you get hurt?"
He turned around and touched his lower back and buttocks, "Did it hurt from the fall?"
Sheng Xiyan said coldly: "It doesn't hurt."
Queen Duan brought people over, followed by Lan Xi. Lan Xi's eyes swept straight towards Sheng Xiyan, making her suspicious.
"Sister Sheng, are you okay?"
"fine."
"Your Majesty, please ask Lanxi to apply some medicine to Sister Sheng."
Xuan Ling held Sheng Xiyan's hand and tied the cloak that Eunuch Fu brought for her.
"No need, I will wipe it for Yanyan. Bring Xue Wanyi here, I want to interrogate her personally."
Xuan Ling led Sheng Xiyan to the seat of honor, and the palace servants brought a soft Huanghuali chair and placed it next to him.
Jiang Jiang came running over and asked, "Mom, are you feeling better?"
"Mother is fine."
Hua Xia took a handkerchief and wiped the water off her head.
The guards brought Xue Wanyi over. Xue Wanyi's behavior was not like usual, or to be more precise, not like a normal person. She kept muttering to herself, was extremely aggressive, and her eyes were terrifying and resentful.
Queen Duan sat down and glanced at Lanxi. Their eyes met, and they seemed to be communicating something.
"Xue Wanyi, why did you attack Chen Zhaoyi?"
Xuan Ling asked, but Xue Wanyi didn't answer, nor did she look at him. Her head shook from side to side, and her neck shrank.
The concubines were discussing, "What's wrong with her? She seems to be possessed by evil spirits."
Sheng Xiyan stood up and walked in front of her. The guard held her arms. Sheng Xiyan observed her pupils and then pulled her hands to look at them.
There is a bloody spot on the right index finger.
"Your Majesty, I want to go see where Xue Wanyi arranged the flowers today."
"Permitted."
Xuan Ling stood up and led Sheng Xiyan to the tree where Xue Wanyi was sitting today.
Lanxi clenched her hands nervously beside Queen Duan.
Arriving at the tree stump table, Sheng Xiyan observed the tabletop and looked at the flowers. There were seven or eight kinds of flowers, including roses. Could it be that the thorns of the roses had pricked his hand?
Sheng Xiyan carefully examined the rose and found a red dot on one of the thorns.
This is the cause of the hand prick, so what is the route of poisoning?
She stood there thinking carefully, and Xuan Ling silently accompanied her.
They both thought of the bucket at the same time.
The guards removed the flowers from the container, leaving only the water used to soak the flowers.
Sheng Xiyan scooped a spoonful and put it in the bowl.
"Your Majesty, I suspect there is ephedra in the water. Please ask Judge Wu to come and confirm it."
"Go and bring Judge Wu quickly."
Empress Duan said, "Lanxi, go help Consort Chen."
As Lan Xi stepped forward, Sheng Xiyan said, "Let's wait for Judge Wu to come."
Xuan Ling understood and said solemnly, "Retreat."
Sheng Xiyan already had a premonition of who was going to deal with her today, and now all that was left was to present the evidence.
What comes to mind immediately is that with such a dangerous person here, will Xuan Ling be in danger as the emperor?
Pulling his sleeve, he said, "Your Majesty, please have the guards come closer."
Xuan Ling thought she was frightened today and resisted the urge to hug her in his arms.
Close to her ear,
"Don't worry, Yanyan. The guards are all at their posts, and there are secret guards in hidden places. As long as I am by your side, no one will dare to hurt you."
Sheng Xiyan nodded, and Xuan Ling reached out to remove the leaves from her hair, his eyes gentle.
Sheng Xiyan raised her eyes to observe his expression. It was different. The expression had changed. There was only pity, not love, right?
I was so frightened, but he didn't even hug me.
Sheng Xiyan's mind was full of random thoughts, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
When Xuan Ling looked down, a string of tears fell from her snow-white cheeks.
She stretched out her hand and then took it back. Yanyan was really scared today.
Judge Wu came over and after a careful inspection, Sheng Xiyan asked, "Judge Wu, was ephedra added to the water?"
"Yes, and the dose is quite high. If it comes into contact with the skin or enters the bloodstream directly, it will be very serious. It will cause strong hallucinations and unconsciousness."
Sheng Xiyan nodded and looked at Lan Xi, "Your Majesty, next we will find out who has touched the flowers and the bucket, and we will know who the murderer is."
Xuan Ling smiled lightly, "Yan Yan is right, the results will be here soon."
