Originally Liu Sheng didn't want to fight Shui Sheng, she had her own grievances and hatreds. But she has been quite a hindrance recently, it's really annoying, so let's send her back to the Western Regions.
The Empress was poisoned that night. After an overnight discussion at the Imperial Hospital, it was discovered that someone had added strychnine to the Empress's food.
Strychnos nux vomica is a medicine for treating injuries from falls. It has pharmacological effects in small amounts, so it cannot be detected by silver needles. However, excessive amounts can be highly toxic and even fatal.
The poisoner was very careful and added a small amount of strychnine to each of the Queen's meals, which could not be detected by silver needles. However, if the Queen ate every dish, she would be poisoned by an overdose of strychnine.
Recently, only Concubine Shu sprained her foot in the harem, and a small amount of strychnine was added to the prescription prescribed by the Imperial Hospital.
Before entering the palace, Concubine Shu was a singer bought by Shui Shengchang from Jiangnan. She was carefully raped, her name was erased, and she was changed to the daughter of a prefect in Jiangnan.
She has been keeping to herself these years, and Shui Sheng has never contacted her, so apart from themselves, almost no one knows about their relationship.
Even the Prime Minister didn't know about it, but that night Anliu launched an assassination in the palace, and Shui Sheng used her. There was no insider in the palace, so even if Anliu had great abilities, he couldn't enter the palace.
Shui Sheng never expected that she would be discovered by Liu Sheng after only using it once.
Of course, the poison was not administered by Concubine Shu, and she had no reason to harm the Queen.
The poison was given by Liu Sheng, with the emperor's assistance, in order to eliminate Shui Sheng's influence in the capital one by one.
So the emperor almost did not interrogate her and directly sent Concubine Shu to the cold palace. He also beat all her personal maids and eunuchs to death and expelled the rest from the palace.
The chess piece of Concubine Shu was completely useless.
Shui Sheng was so angry that she smashed all the vases in the mansion: "Why was the queen poisoned? She didn't do anything at all?"
"I have already checked. The Queen was not seriously poisoned. The person who poisoned her did not intend to take her life. It seems more like he deliberately framed Concubine Shu." He Yuanpan knelt on the ground and reported the truth.
Shui Sheng frowned: "Who is it?"
He Yuanpan hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Liu Sheng."
"Liu Sheng?!" Shui Sheng reacted very strongly.
Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng, it’s him again. He is everywhere. He is really a good helper to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, after Ye Chengfeng was taken down, another Liu Sheng appeared.
"And..." He Yuanpan suddenly spoke again: "Liu Sheng seems to have realized my identity. Before the queen was poisoned, he specifically asked me for strychnine."
Shui Sheng had a severe headache: "Take leave first, don't enter the palace during this period of time, don't let him catch anything."
"Yes." He Yuanpan said and walked out.
When he returned to He's house, he found that He Yu had been waiting for him: "Why don't you go to bed?"
"Dad, I saw Master Liu asking you for strychnine two days ago."
He Yu didn't know the twists and turns, but he knew that Liu Sheng definitely did it on purpose.
Liu Sheng was deliberately reminding his father to stop in time.
Judge He was taking off his hat, and his hand paused for a moment. He quickly said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it. Just do your job well and don't cause any trouble."
"Dad..." He Yu wanted to say something, but was driven out by his father.
Ye Qingwan was lying on the armchair in the yard basking in the sun. Suddenly, she heard Xiaoyuer gossiping with Qingqing about what happened in the palace last night, and Ye Qingwan spat out a mouthful of tea.
【What the hell? 】
[Is Concubine Shu poisoned and banished to the cold palace? Who did it? Isn't this my job? Who did it for me?]
Section 170
[Is there anyone who wants to take over the job of the vicious female supporting role?! ]
[It's outrageous. It's outrageous to open the door. It's outrageous to the extreme. 】
[Will the system think I am useless and find someone to replace me? Vicious female supporting role, your position is no longer secure. ]
[Should I pretend that I did it? ]
【Life is not easy, Wanwan performs art for a living. 】
"Are all you people in Dayu so fond of intrigue?" Xiao Yuer asked Ning Shaoqing naively.
Ning Shaoqing snorted and said, "When it comes to matters of intrigue, your mother Xiao Ning has the most say. Go back and ask her. Your father was killed by her."
"Brother Qingqing, let's go out and play. I'll treat you to some candied haws."
"No, no, you're just a kid. If you eat so much candy, your teeth will fall out soon and you'll become a toothless old woman."
After saying that, he turned around and flew onto the roof, lay down and went to sleep.
Xiao Yuer was angry, made a face at Ye Qingwan, and turned and walked out.
She happened to meet Liu Sheng coming in, and instantly remembered that he had watched her fall in the palace without helping her up, so she gave him a fierce look.
Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment. Was he losing his temper?
Then he saw the positions of Ye Qingwan and Ning Shaoqing, and instantly understood.
Well, I was bullied and I was looking for a place to vent.
He smiled and sat down next to Ye Qingwan, stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead: "Miss Ye, can you please do me a favor and accompany me for dinner?"
Ye Qingwan immediately opened her eyes, met his smiling face, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"What do you want to eat?" Liu Sheng squeezed into her armchair and lay down with her in his arms.
Ye Qingwan was squeezed to the side by him and wanted to leave, but he pulled her back: "My father is at home."
Liu Sheng didn't seem to understand: "At home? Then what?"
"Then my family has an ancestral 40-meter-long sword..." If my father sees it, he will cut you.
"I heard that a new restaurant opened in Beijing recently. The roasted lamb there tastes good. There is also a dish called sheep blanket, which is also very delicious."
Ye Qingwan was instantly excited. Mutton skewers? I really want to eat them...
"Let's go, let's eat."
As he said that, he pulled him out. Liu Sheng said with a smile, "But your ancestral forty-meter-long sword..."
"You're kidding. I don't have any knives at home. I cut vegetables with my hands in the kitchen."
"Puchi" Liu Sheng couldn't help laughing.
After walking two steps, Ye Qingwan stopped and waved towards the roof: "Qingqing, come down, let's go eat something delicious."
Ning Shaoqing sat up and was about to get down when he heard Liu Sheng call out, "Yes, Qingqing, come down."
Ning Shaoqing: ...
Suddenly I wasn’t hungry anymore.
"I-I-I won't go. I'm sleepy." After saying that, he lay back down.
Ye Qingwan: ...
Liu Sheng noticed her gaze and shrugged innocently: "He said he doesn't want to go, so let's not force him."
Ye Qingwan looked at him silently and said, “I suspect you are trying to trick Qingqing, but I have no evidence.”
The two came to the newly opened restaurant and sat in the private seats. This restaurant was different from ordinary restaurants. It was round, with a stage in the middle and dancers from the Western Regions dancing below.
When everyone was enjoying the show, they threw coins and silver coins onto the stage, and some even threw snacks. It was quite entertaining.
Ye Qingwan wanted to take out a few copper coins and throw them down, but after searching for a long time, she found that she had no money.
Liu Sheng smiled and handed her his purse. Ye Qingwan immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."
I opened the purse and wanted to take out some money, but when I looked inside, it was all silver? Ingots at a time.
So she tightened the bag again, not wanting to lose it, which hurt. As expected, a money-loving person like her could never be a spendthrift.
The person serving the food was a very beautiful woman from the Western Regions. When pouring the wine, her jade fingers quickly stroked the back of Liu Sheng's hand.
Liu Sheng glanced at her, and she immediately smiled shyly and retreated silently.
