The morning dew sighed: "Your Majesty should know the truth of 'three people make a tiger'."

  Yuandi listened and immediately understood the implication of her words. He laughed in extreme anger: "Would the world think it was done by me?"

  "The Queen's words... were indeed sinister."

  Chenlu gazed at him and said softly. She stood by the window, her white clothes fluttering in the night wind, as ethereal as a fairy.

  Yuan Qi heard the two words "Empress" and his eyes were filled with disgust. He recalled the expressions of shock, fear, and suspicion on everyone's faces earlier, and his heart grew even colder with anger.

  "Do you also think it was done by me?!"

  "No, your humble servant thinks there is no such thing."

  Morning dew faintly smiled, crystal clear face under candlelight, smiling, with a few points of childishness, a few points of sorrow.

  "If it were done by His Majesty, you would certainly make it flawless."

  Yuan Qi heard such unscrupulous words and was truly neither angry nor amused. He helplessly said, "You're getting bolder and bolder!"

  The young lady's smile deepened: "Is it that His Majesty hopes to hear that everyone praises you as a filial son, so it is impossible for you to do such a thing?"

  Yuan Qi was just about to answer when someone suddenly came to report that Jing Wang had arrived, so Chen Lu hastily retreated and hid behind the screen.

  The King of Jing only wore a crimson purple brocade robe, barefoot and wearing boots, rushed over. His raven-black long hair was disheveled, his handsome face occasionally visible, adding to his untamed charm.

  "Brother Emperor... Empress Dowager..."

  He had only spoken a few words when he choked with emotion, his eyes reddening, and his whole body trembling. Several eunuchs hastily supported him.

  "Second brother, calm down first!"

  Yuan Qi shouted in a low voice.

  The King of Jing was startled awake, his eyes clearing as he gazed at Yuan Qi with an unfamiliar and almost fearful expression, as if he had never seen him before.

  "Older brother?!"

  The next moment, Jing Wang made a stunning move - he knelt down on the ground with a soft knee.

  "Imperial brother, I have never asked you for anything in this life, now I only beg of you to save the empress dowager's life..."

  A slight grinding of the words reveals a change in tone.

  "Second brother! Do you know what you're saying?"

  His calm and black eyes flashed with furious light, and he took a few steps to approach Jing Wang, grabbing him up.

  Qin Xi was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, fearing that Yuan Qi's anger would lead him to commit a shocking and earth-shaking act.

  He plucked up his courage and was just about to go forward to dissuade him, when he heard a slight cough from behind the screen. The Emperor's trusted advisor, Grand Secretary Shi, had already emerged with a gentle smile.

  Qin Xi, although young in years, was also a palace insider. Looking at the situation, he understood what was going on. He gazed at Chen Lu with a hint of pleading in his eyes. After she nodded, he felt as if he had been granted a great pardon and led all the eunuchs and palace staff out of this place of controversy.

  The heavy palace gates were closed, and in the grand hall, the lights flickered, leaving only two men with swords drawn, and a girl as quiet and still as ice and snow.

  "Are you listening to the empress's mad words or being slandered by some petty person?"

  Yuan Qi coldly asked.

  The King stared straight into his eyes and did not yield: "Imperial brother, I am just asking you to save the Empress Dowager - as a child, what's wrong with that?"

  "What need for you to say this? Several imperial physicians are on duty and attending to me, I will summon all the doctors to come and diagnose together!"

  The King of Jing remained silent, merely turning his head away. Yuan Qi knew that he had already seen through him and was suppressing his anger, just about to send him back, when Chen Lu walked between the two men, bowing: "Your Majesty need not worry, I have a plan!"

  The still king did not turn his head, and on the stunningly beautiful face that captivated the hearts of the imperial city's beauties, a faint cold smile appeared: "You are by the emperor's side, indeed clever with words and appearance!"

  Chenlu smiled slightly and said slowly: "If Jing Wang is willing, he might as well serve the medicine in person and often accompany the Empress Dowager by her bedside, what do you think?"

  The King's expression slightly softened: "I had this intention."

  He finished speaking and bowed deeply towards Yuan Qi: "Imperial brother, I only hope you won't forget - the Heavenly Dynasty has always ruled with benevolence and filial piety."

  He didn't even look back and went straight to Cining Palace, leaving Yuanqi behind, with a belly full of anger but nowhere to vent it.

  He returned to the imperial desk, picked up his brush to calm his emotions, and with a burst of strength, a Hu pen was already broken into four or five pieces.

  Yuanyi shook off the remaining bamboo joints, got up impatiently, but saw Chenlu personally hand over a cup of tea and present it to him.

  She remained as calm and composed as ever, as if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of her, she wouldn't change color. Her eyes, crystal clear like a thousand years of cold ice, gazed at Yuan Qi - for a moment, a refreshing coolness arose in his heart, driving away the maddening annoyance.

  Yuan Qi watched her put down the teacup, her slender fingers deftly gathering up the remaining brush hairs. He couldn't help but sigh and say: "The sage said: One does not get angry when others do not understand. How many people can truly achieve this?"

  "So, I just said that it should be kept secret - but now it's too late, the news of Jing Wang has spread quickly..."

  She smiled with a hint of mystery in her smile.

  "If Your Majesty is willing, I am willing to investigate this matter thoroughly."

  Yuan Qi listened and nodded: "You have always been clever, these few times three times are all thanks to you - how many people do we need this time?"

  Chenlu said: "I only wish for Qi Yun's great leadership to help me a little."

  On the second day, this bad news spread throughout the palace like it had grown wings and everyone knew about it.

  People often look around and say in a tone of shock mixed with excitement, "Do you know? Yesterday the empress...".

  Morning dew on these rumors, did not ask the origin - Yuan Qi if even this point of confusing the public evil words can not be eliminated, still called what nine five supreme?

  However, it is more difficult to guard against people's mouths than against a river. The clearer the water, the more likely this crime of murdering one's mother will be vaguely visible on his head. Once it spreads to the palace, the common people will be even more interested in this secret history of the palace, and the evil name of King Zhou of Shang will probably spread throughout the four seas immediately.

  Gu Yun saw Chen Lu walking silently all the way, he hesitated and finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Chen, this really wasn't you who did it?"

  The girl gave him a white eye: "Lin Yuanyuan died like this, she would be buried with the honor of the Empress Dowager and then spread her virtuous name to future generations. Do you think I'm so stupid?"

  Qiu Yun smiled slightly and rubbed his nose, puzzled: "But who else has such unpredictable abilities?"

  Morning dew does not speak, she is also thinking about this issue.

  This morning, she went to several concubine palaces and asked about the situation when they paid respects to the empress dowager yesterday afternoon.

  Zhou Guifei wiped the long sword for a long time before saying, "The Empress Dowager shouldn't have been seeking eternal life and overdosed on elixirs, right?"

  Chenlu thought of this unprecedented and ultimate answer, couldn't help but want to laugh, barely covering it up, only feeling that this Princess Zhou was truly a wonderful person with wonderful words.

  In Zhi Fei's Yun Qing Palace, she was wearing a shimmering autumn-colored satin dress and applying pearl powder to her face.

  "Alas, the Empress Dowager is truly unfortunate..."

  Her tone was undisguised, full of schadenfreude, with a carefree attitude of watching the water rise from the riverbank.

  As for Mei Gui Pin's side——

  "How could such a thing happen... But the queen is also too much, actually shouting out such words in public, how can the emperor be okay with this?!"

  She was probing, as if waiting for Yuan Qi's edict after his ascension, so that she could finally be at ease.

  As expected... these three are very suspicious, they can't wait for the Empress Dowager to ascend to heaven and return to paradise early.

  However, with the empress's accusation, most people will still be delighted to talk about the secret of the mother and son turning against each other.

  Dew drops were falling silently, and suddenly I realized, the one who truly had motivation and means was myself!

  She smiled self-deprecatingly: "Xiao Yun...the murderer can't be found, we might as well go find the source of the poison!"

  She spoke with such certainty, yet her feet didn't stop, but went in another direction.

  "Where to find?"

  "The Imperial Garden."
