Chapter 265 Tiger poison does not even eat seeds
Seeing this scene, Queen Mother Luo Lan's originally amiable face instantly became serious and she frowned slightly.
She scolded him with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Why are you so panicked? Can't you see I'm talking to Xuan'er? How can you be so reckless!"
But now that you're here, tell me what happened."
"Your Majesty, a big thing happened in the palace today. Concubine Li was poisoned, resulting in the loss of her child. His Majesty is furious." The nanny bowed and replied.
"What did you say? Concubine Li is pregnant? And the child is still missing? Who on earth dares to be so bold?" Luo Lan roared in anger after hearing the news.
Her originally graceful face now seemed distorted by anger, and her eyes were flashing with rage.
Zhao Haoxuan, who was standing nearby, nodded quickly and replied, "Grandma, your grandson was also harmed by a traitor! Someone must not want your father to have any more children!"
There was a hint of grievance and unwillingness in his voice, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to immediately pull out the mastermind behind the scenes and tear him into pieces.
Hearing this, Luo Lan's heart suddenly shook, and a chill instantly surged from the bottom of his heart and quickly spread throughout his body.
She couldn't help but think to herself, "Who is behind all this? First, Yoona became disabled for no apparent reason.
Then Xuan'er was brutally framed, and now even my unborn grandson hasn't been spared... Could Li'er be the next target?"
Thinking of this, her brows involuntarily frowned slightly, and a look of deep worry appeared on her face.
After a moment's silence, Luo Lan slowly spoke, "This harem has always been a place of controversy, but the frequent occurrence of incidents in recent days is probably not accidental.
Could it be that there is someone with ulterior motives deliberately stirring up these disputes? If so, this person's scheming is truly terrifyingly deep!"
As she spoke, her gaze became increasingly fierce, as if she wanted to penetrate the thick fog and find the enemy hiding in the darkness.
Let’s talk about Yang Chende. He started investigating without stopping after receiving the task.
However, several days passed, and despite his best efforts, he still could not find any clues.
As the days passed, Yang Chende became more and more anxious and frowned all day long.
In just a few days, a few strands of the originally black and shiny hair turned white.
He gazed at the cold moonlight and sighed to himself, "I, Yang Chende, have been an honest and upright official my entire life, but now I can't even get to the bottom of such a small matter. I'm truly ashamed of the trust Your Majesty has placed in me!"
Finally, the time had come to report to His Majesty. Yang Chende stepped into the palace with a nervous mood.
After seeing the emperor, he fell to his knees with a plop and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent! After many days of investigation, I still haven't found any clues about this matter. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face. After a long while, he slowly said:
"My dear, please stand up first. I know this matter is difficult. But I believe in your ability. I will give you one month to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Yang Chende kowtowed to express his gratitude and left in a hurry.
Late at night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting a cool light.
Zhao Haoxuan, wearing a black nightgown, moved silently in the darkness like a ghost, and finally arrived at the gate of Wang Xinyao's magnificent and mysterious manor.
With a light leap, he climbed over the wall and approached the main house as quickly as a shadow.
When he finally stood in front of Wang Xinyao, Wang Xinyao had just emerged from the ring space after practicing.
Zhao Haoxuan didn't bother with the small talk and went straight to the point, telling Wang Xinyao in detail the whole story of Concubine Li's poisoning.
From the initial discovery of Concubine Li's poisoning to the subsequent intense diagnosis and treatment process by the imperial physicians, no detail was missed.
After listening to this, Wang Xinyao frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her head, looked directly at Zhao Haoxuan, and asked softly:
"Brother Zhao, in your opinion, who is the mastermind behind this? Or, in other words, who is the biggest beneficiary in this matter?"
Zhao Haoxuan looked solemn and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Noble Concubine Li once inadvertently revealed some information to my uncle, which seemed to imply that this matter was related to Noble Concubine Yin.
However, my father did not believe this and issued an order forbidding anyone from making any assumptions about Concubine Yin without solid evidence!"
"Noble Concubine Yin?" Wang Xinyao frowned slightly, murmured the name softly, and then paced back and forth in the room.
"Brother Zhao, I think the possibility that it was Concubine Yin is very high!" After a long while, she finally stopped, turned around and said anxiously to Zhao Haoxuan who was sitting next to her.
Hearing Wang Xinyao say this, Zhao Haoxuan couldn't help but look puzzled and asked quickly, "Xinyao, why do you make such a guess? Do you have any basis for it?"
Wang Xinyao calmed herself down before slowly explaining, "Brother Zhao, do you still remember that your sister's master was in urgent need of beauty pills?
At that time, we had speculated that there were probably only a few women in the entire capital who had the means and courage to use Prince Yu as a chess piece.
And now, after this incident, Concubine Li can be completely ruled out!" After saying this, Wang Xinyao took a deep breath.
Zhao Haoxuan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, expressing his agreement with Wang Xinyao's point of view, and then continued his analysis:
"It's exactly as you said. Even Concubine Li herself has doubts about this matter. I believe she must know some of the inside story, but unfortunately she has no solid evidence!"
"Well, that's right. It seems that there is a very high possibility that Concubine Yin is the mastermind behind this!" Wang Xinyao frowned slightly and said again with a serious expression.
Then, she turned her gaze to Zhao Haoxuan and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you think it's possible that Concubine Yin is the mysterious woman that His Majesty knew back then?"
Hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan was stunned at first, and then fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he slowly answered, "Common sense dictates that this is unlikely. If Imperial Concubine Yin is indeed the woman from back then, then both Grandmother and Father would definitely know her."
Having said that, Zhao Haoxuan shook his head slightly, as if wanting to deny a certain guess that had just emerged in his mind.
He then raised another question: "But if Concubine Yin is really my sister's biological mother, then why would she use such a cruel forbidden technique on her own child? As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!"
