    Shi He never expected that the two children would dare to lose their temper with the emperor, leave the palace in anger, and had no idea where they were going.

    He searched for two days, and found that the Holy Majesty was not angry, and his worry eased a little.

    On the way back home from the Imperial Hospital, I felt dizzy, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange room, feeling powerless.

    The person in front of me is also very familiar, it is Yu Anqing.

    "An Qing, what are you doing?" Shi He asked suspiciously.

    The wishful knot of calamus dangling back and forth in his palm, Shi He's eyes trembled slightly: "When did you steal it?" "

    Emperor Shi, you once said that wishful knots are a pair, and the one that belongs to you is damaged, why? Damaged? When was it damaged?" Yu Anqing asked softly with dull eyes.

    Shi He was puzzled: "What exactly do you want to ask?"

    "There is a broken red knot where your mother died, which is also made of lotus root silk like your wishful knot. Liang Jiang said, this is a unique technique in Cheng Changpu's hometown." "

    Yu Anqing said while watching Shi He's expression, and saw that his eyes were surprised and angry, and there seemed to be no flickering emotions.

    Shi He scolded angrily, never thought that he would be accused of this kind, because he had taken care of An Qing's mother and son in vain.

    "You suspect that I killed your mother? I have no reason to do so!"

    "How can you explain the knot? As an imperial doctor, you were poisoned by someone behind the scenes, why not?

    And you are familiar with my mother, know Mother won't be on guard against you, so poisoning is very simple. Back then when you came to propose marriage, you could guess my relationship with the emperor... There are so many coincidences, how can I not doubt it?!" Yu Anqing continued to cross-examine.

    "I didn't!" Shi He gritted his teeth angrily, "My Wishful Knot is broken, Calamus didn't tell me what kind of material I used, so I specially asked your mother to help research it. That's all!

    I have never known about poison. Knowing your identity is also because I have seen the emperor and the Duke. I also hinted to you about this matter. It is really just a coincidence! "

    Yu Anqing's pupils were pitch black, and she couldn't see any expression.

    Shi He said angrily: "If I were the murderer, I would dare to marry Mo'er to you!" I can't justify it!

    Seeing that Shihe didn't seem to be lying, Yu Anqing was a little more at ease.

    But what Shihe said was only his one-sided story without any supporting evidence, so he still couldn't feel at ease.

    "I'd rather kill by mistake than let the murderer go! " Until the real culprit is found, please ask Imperial Physician Shi to feel wronged for a while, and temporarily stay in this small courtyard in the countryside. "

    Shihe suffered an innocent disaster for nothing, and was so angry: "It's not me! I didn't do it! Yu Anqing, you can do Mo'er well by treating me like this! If Mo'er knew, how sad he would be! "

    Yu Anqing's eyes flickered, and she ordered her subordinates to take good care of Doctor Shi.

    After leaving the courtyard, Ye Luan waited for a long time.

    He said: "Master, the emperor asked me to bring you a message, and he will relax the rules and allow you to use the secret cabinet to browse Palace archives, find out the truth, and ask you to return to the palace quickly.

    In addition, the imperial concubine feels unwell and wants to ask Mr. Cheng to continue to go to the palace for medical treatment. "

    Yu Anqing raised his head and looked at the sky framed by the four corners of the courtyard. The sky was bright and clear.

    He will definitely go out. He will definitely be able to go out with Liang Jiang.

    The two returned to Ruju Palace again, and the emperor verbally agreed to their marriage. He intends to restore Yu Anqing's status as the prince before making arrangements.

    The marriage was postponed, and Yu Anqing explained to Cheng Shenmo very ashamedly that he would convince the emperor as soon as possible.

    Of course he wanted the two to get married as soon as possible. But the reality is that the emperor intervenes, so it is impossible to solve it easily. Or, the most important thing now is to find out the real culprit who killed his mother.

    Cheng Shenmo received a letter from Master Shihe, saying that Yunzhou seems to be suffering from an epidemic, and the emperor sent him to investigate.

    Cheng Shenmo didn't know that Shi He was missing, he just thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with their marriage and wanted to send Master away so that he should not continue to prepare for the wedding.

    I don't think it's strange at all, what happened to Han Ying has a lesson from the past.

    From the moment he knew that Yu Anqing was the emperor's illegitimate child, Cheng Shenmo knew that there was a 90% probability that it would be impossible to make it to the end.

    However, Shen Mo still chose to believe.

    His attitude towards feelings has not changed: he will not give up until the last moment.

    Now the two of them are quite happy in bed, just enjoy being in love happily.

    Cheng Shenmo took the pulse of Concubine Li Gui as usual, and found that Concubine Li was fine, but she kept saying that she had chest tightness and shortness of breath, and it was difficult to breathe, so she prescribed a prescription to clear the lungs and relieve qi.

    As usual, I decocted the medicine, put it in a food box, and took it to see the imperial concubine. On the way, I ran into the empress's phoenix driver.

    The queen raised her hand to stop Yu Chuan, and sent him to ask questions nearby. Cheng Shenmo put down the food box, came to Yu Lun's side respectfully, and kowtowed to pay his respects.

    The empress came from the Wuzhi family, and her single name was elegant. She heard that she ate fast and recited Buddha all the year round.

    Cheng Shenmo took a look, the queen was dignified and gentle, with the attitude of a mother.

    "Elegant and polite, with a handsome appearance, it's no wonder that Xie Lu Lang loves it."

    Empress Wu took a closer look, and took off the string of Buddhist beads from her wrist, speaking very kindly, "This string of Buddhist beads has been with me for more than ten years, and I will reward you today. "

    Cheng Shenmo hurriedly took the beads with both hands, feeling extremely surprised. He has never had any contact with the queen, why would he reward such a close and precious gift.

    Could it be that she knew that Yu Anqing was the emperor's illegitimate son, so she regarded herself as her son-in-law? Thinking of Princess Pingle's attitude towards him when he entered the palace, it is indeed somewhat possible.

    After bidding farewell to the empress, Cheng Shenmo picked up the food box and came to Kunlan Palace in wild guesses.

    Concubine Li glanced at the Buddhist beads on Cheng Shenmo's wrist, and said with a smile: "The empress loves this string of Buddhist beads so much, it is a great blessing for Dr. Cheng to give her love to Dr. Cheng." Cheng Shenmo was so frightened that he did not dare to

    breathe , hurriedly said: "Xiaomin and the Empress Dowager are only meeting each other for the first time, and I don't know that the Empress Dowager will love him so much.

    " Cheng Shenmo was stunned, he didn't know when it would end, he only hoped that the imperial concubine would give birth smoothly and he could leave the palace quickly.

    Concubine Li Gui waved her hand: "Bengong said by the way, why should Dr. Cheng panic... Is my medicine ready?"

    Cheng Shenmo opened the food box, took out the medicine bowl, sniffed lightly, his expression changed instantly.

    As soon as he loosened his hands, the medicine bowl shattered, and the dark black medicine spilled all over the ground.

    "Xiaomin's hands are slippery for a while, don't blame the madam, I'll go back and make you a new bowl." Cheng Shenmo kowtowed.

    The palace maid Liu Yuan raised her eyebrows coldly, and scolded: "Doctor Cheng left the palace in a hurry, and he didn't pay attention to your mother at all. Your mother cherishes your medical skills and never blamed you. Just as soon as you returned to the palace, you smashed your mother's medicine bowl. It's so big." Your guts! Come here, drag Dr. Cheng down and hit you with thirty rods, and you will be punished for disrespect." "

    My lady... Xiaomin never meant to neglect my lady, I hope my lady will forgive me." Cold sweat dripped from the corner of Cheng Shenmo's forehead , I was terribly frightened.

    He intentionally knocked over the medicine bowl, it was really an act of helplessness that he made in an instant. Someone has poisoned the medicine bowl, the imperial concubine must not swallow it.

    He couldn't reveal it face to face, because according to his habit of serving medicine, he never left the medicine jar during the whole process, so it was impossible to use someone else's hands. If he exposes it face to face, he can't tell the reason, but it will be in vain.

    For the current plan, we can only fool the past and investigate secretly.

    Who would have thought that Concubine Li Gui, who had always been kind and gentle, would beat him with thirty sticks if she opened her mouth.

    Cheng Shenmo wants to cry but has no tears.

    Fu, the eunuch in charge, walked up to Cheng Shenmo, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Dr. Cheng has always served your Majesty well. I think it was an unintentional mistake. Thirty sticks are a bit heavy." Cheng Shenmo looked at Fu Shun in surprise and

    gratitude . Although he and this eunuch often met at the imperial concubine's place, they only had two or three polite conversations, and they didn't have any friendship. It's really not easy to say good things for him.

    At this moment, Fushun's expression changed, he lay down on the ground, and sniffed the medicine dregs vigorously.

    Cheng Shenmo was shocked, and as expected, he heard Fu Shun say: "Your Majesty, this slave has a half-knowledge of medicine. This medicine exudes a light floral fragrance, which is by no means the usual medicinal smell! This servant dares to guess that the medicine is poisonous!" "Bold

    Cheng Shen Mo! Your Majesty treats you well, how dare you poison your Majesty." Liu Yuan sternly said.

    Cheng Shenmo frowned, never expecting to be self-defeating.

    He had no choice but to tell the truth: "Qi Madam, Xiaomin discovered that the poison of 'birds falling flowers' was poisoned in the medicine bowl, so he knocked over the medicine bowl in fear." "If this is the case, why didn't you report it just now

    ? Concubine Li Gui squinted her eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "It's not clear that she wanted to murder me, but she was as cowardly as a mouse and smashed it, and that's how it was revealed. Seriously, who did you order to frame me?

    " Xiaomin was wronged, Xiaomin was really afraid of his mother's punishment, so he didn't dare to speak out, and he definitely didn't intend to harm his mother." Cheng Shenmo kowtowed violently, and his forehead was bleeding and bruised.

    "My lord—" the eunuch's chorus sounded.

    Emperor Tang came in, followed by Yu Anqing.

    Yu Anqing's face was gloomy, and she hurriedly supported Cheng Shenmo, looking at Concubine Li Gui with a flash of murderous intent, she closed her eyes again.

    "Why is this?" Tang Huang asked with a frown.

    Although he didn't like Cheng Shenmo, he didn't want to let the relationship between father and son turn bad again. Cheng Shenmo couldn't travel on business.

    "Report to Your Majesty, Doctor Cheng intended to use the poison of 'Birds Falling Flowers' to murder the empress and the dragon's heir!" The court lady Liu Yuan immediately replied.

    Both Tang Huang and Yu Anqing's pupils trembled, showing expressions of disbelief.

    The fright on that expression was too much, Concubine Li Gui secretly frightened: the emperor has always shown his emotions and anger, how could he show such a strange expression. Why is Dr. Cheng so valued by the emperor?

    She said calmly: "The matter has not yet been concluded, Liu Yuan is not going to speak nonsense. I know that Dr. Cheng is benevolent and benevolent, and saved all people from the plague of mosquitoes. How could I harm my palace? There must be a misunderstanding.

    " If you are too kind, the ironclad evidence is right in front of you. The little doctor must not dare, because he is afraid that someone will order him from behind!" Although Liu Yuan's voice was small, everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

    Tang Huang said slowly: "Dr. Cheng has great virtues in the country, and I don't believe that he will harm my concubine. It is unreasonable to poison the concubine in public. Come and call General Han to see him. I want him to investigate this matter thoroughly." "

    Your Majesty, Dr. Cheng is my fiance's son-in-law. I implore Your Majesty to allow me to assist in the investigation and to restore my husband's innocence." Yu Anqing carefully wiped the blood for Cheng Shenmo, and said in a hoarse voice.

    Cheng Shenmo knelt down and looked at Yu Anqing from bottom to top. His gloomy and cold expression was clear and horrified, like the sea before a storm. It seemed to be calm, but it contained the stern and dark undercurrents when the storm was about to come.

    Unconsciously, Cheng Shenmo's hair stood on end, and he trembled slightly. This was instinctive fear. He has an intuition that Yu Anqing must, must have another side that he doesn't know about.
