Concubine Candidate

Shao Yichen quickly returned to the main hall and went directly to Han Li, the head chamberlain, and whispered what had just happened.

When Han Li heard this, he immediately broke into a cold sweat.

Han Li quickly came to the emperor's side and whispered into the ear of the emperor what Shao Yichen said.

Xiao Chenghan was shocked when he heard this. He immediately stood up and said to Shao Yichen: "Shao Aiqing, come with me."

Shao Yichen followed the emperor to the back hall, and then directly reported what happened just now.

Xiao Chenghan was furious after hearing this. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "It's simply unreasonable. I just gave Prince Jing and Anlehou a marriage today and someone dared to come out and sabotage it. Okay, that's great. I want to see who is causing trouble.

Get in the way.

Han Li, check for me. Everyone who enters the palace today and everyone in the palace must be carefully checked by me. No clues will be missed. Let the imperial guards and guards control everyone and not give the mastermind behind the scenes any chance to escape.

"

Han Li took the order and immediately mobilized the imperial guards and guards.

Xiao Chenghan turned to Shao Yichen and said: "General Shao, you have also taken Chinese medicine. You should go back and rest quickly. I will send an imperial doctor back to the house with you so that if anything goes wrong, you can get treatment in time."

Shao Yichen immediately bowed and thanked him, "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty."

At this time, the British Duke was also found, and Xiao Chenghan asked the British Duke to leave the palace with Shao Yichen.

The royal guards and palace guards directly controlled everyone attending the celebration banquet, and the people in each palace also restricted their movement.

Han Li led his people and began to check everyone. Especially those who had contact with Xiao Yilin, Jing Yi and Shao Yichen today.

Xiao Chenghan was really worried about his son and went directly to the palace where Xiao Yilin lived.

He entered the courtyard with several chamberlains and saw Han Qi guarding the door, "Han Qi, why are you outside?"

Han Qi blushed and saluted, and then replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the prince should not need Xiao Xiao to guard him now."

Xiao Chenghan was stunned when he heard this, and then he heard the sounds coming from the room. As a person who had been there, he certainly knew what these sounds meant, and his face turned red immediately, "This kid, he has had a bridal chamber before he got married.

"

Han Qi reported: "Your Majesty, I saw that the prince was in a very powerful state of mind. Anlehou originally wanted to give the prince an antidote pill, but Lu Zhilan, the daughter of Duke Dingguo, took the antidote pill away from Anlehou without warning.

Marquis Anle asked for it, but she refused to return it and swallowed it all into her mouth. She obviously didn't want my prince to detoxify, she is really bad."

When Xiao Chenghan heard that there was still such a problem, he narrowed his eyes and turned to an internal servant and ordered: "Go, arrest Lu Zhilan from Duke Dingguo's Mansion first, and arrest everyone in Duke Dingguo's Mansion as well, and then we can

Interrogation. I want to see what Duke Dingguo wants to do."

Xiao Chenghan said to Gu Yu, Feng Zhi and other guards who were coming over: "You guys should keep a good watch on your prince and princess here. If you need anything, come and report it immediately."

Xiao Chenghan felt that his son would be fine as long as his daughter-in-law was with him. He probably got an aphrodisiac and would be fine if his daughter-in-law gave him the antidote. It was not good for him to listen here, otherwise he would be suspected of listening to the root of the wall.

He had to quickly order someone to prepare the wedding for the fourth child. Now that both of them were getting married, it was better to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

Xiao Chenghan directly returned to Zichen Palace to wait for the news.

Everyone at the celebration banquet was interrogated, and the imperial doctor also checked the food on the tables of Xiao Yilin and Shao Yichen. He soon discovered that the last tea Xiao Yilin drank was drugged, and that the wine Shao Yichen drank was drugged.

medicine.

Although it is not a highly poisonous medicine, it is also a very powerful aphrodisiac.

All those who had eaten, drank or had contact with the palace banquet were arrested and interrogated.

Duke Dingguo was taken to the Zichen Palace, and Duke Ding also knew what his youngest daughter had done. He knew that his daughter must have been so stimulated by Anlehou that she did such an extreme thing.

As soon as Duke Dingguo entered the Zichen Hall, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, my little girl did something wrong in a moment of confusion. Please forgive me and give me a lenient sentence."

Duke Dingguo knew that Prince Jing was the King's favorite, and that His Highness Prince Jing was poisoned. His daughter actually snatched the antidote pill and swallowed it all herself, without allowing His Highness Prince Jing to detoxify. This was undoubtedly suspected of murder.

With such a big commotion today, Duke Dingguo knew that the Holy Emperor would never let this matter go easily this time.

Xiao Chenghan looked at Duke Dingguo who was kneeling below and snorted, "Mr. Dingguo, you are such a good tutor at Duke Dingguo's house. You actually knew that Prince Jing was poisoned and even snatched the antidote from Anlehou's hand to prevent Anle.

Hou detoxified King Jing.

Does your daughter have evil intentions and want to kill Prince Jing? If Prince Jing is poisoned with fatal poison this time, then your whole family will have to die to apologize."

Duke Dingguo kowtowed repeatedly to apologize, "Your Majesty makes atonement, Your Majesty makes atonement. My daughter was confused for a moment. She said she wanted to marry His Highness Prince Jing before, so how could she want to harm His Highness Prince Jing?"

She must have thought that Anlehou's medicine was harmful to His Highness Prince Jing, so she didn't let Anlehou give the medicine to His Highness Prince Jing indiscriminately. The little girl is also confused if she cares about her, Your Majesty. Please forgive me for the sake of serving the country.

This time."

Xiao Chenghan also knew that Lu Zhilan would not intentionally harm her fourth son, unless she wanted to die.

He looked at the tearful Duke Dingguo who was kneeling below and asked, "Does your daughter really say she wants to marry Prince Jing?"

Duke Dingguo nodded repeatedly, "It's absolutely true. My little girl is asking me to take a walk to see if I can marry His Highness Prince Jing."

Xiao Chenghan narrowed his eyes when he heard this and said, "What if she is asked to be a concubine? She is also willing?"

When Duke Dingguo heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "My little girl knows that His Majesty has granted marriage to His Highness Prince Jing and Marquis Anle. How dare you expect to be the concubine? She is willing to be His Highness Prince Jing's side concubine."

Given the status of Duke Ding, it is perfectly acceptable for his legitimate daughter to become the concubine of a prince.

Xiao Chenghan nodded, "Well, if nothing happens to Prince Jing and she is willing to marry Prince Jing as his concubine, then I don't need to pursue her case this time."

After hearing this, Duke Dingguo closed his eyes and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Duke Dingguo now seems to understand that His Highness Prince Jing will be the successor to the throne in the future, and His Majesty is cultivating Prince Jing's power again. It seems that in the future, if his daughter cannot marry Prince Jing and become a queen, it will be okay to be a concubine.

Besides, now that things have reached this point, what else can he do? He can only let his daughter marry Prince Jing as his concubine so that he can get away with it.

Xiao Chenghan thought about it and said, "But your daughter has to wait. I have to arrange the marriage for Prince Jing and Anlehou first, and then let your daughter enter Prince Jing's mansion after a while."

Duke Dingguo kowtowed and thanked him, "It's up to your majesty to make some decisions."

Xiao Chenghan nodded and said, "You go down first and wait until today's matter is cleared up."
