Until she walked out of the Queen's bedroom, Ning Ling could still feel the creepy gaze behind her. Once upon a time, there was a feeling that when she came to this time and space last time, when she was chasing the moon night demon with Yelu Xiu Ge, one of the demons hid in the dark and looked at her gaze. Just like this, she felt a sense of trembling. She speeded up and returned to her residence. Luo Yue saw that she was safely back. She breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to ask her but saw her wink. She wisely swallowed the words behind her back.

The two returned to the room, closed the doors and windows, and then they started to convey the information they obtained with paper and pen. But what they said was something irrelevant, and even if someone eavesdropped on them, they would not attract suspicion.

"Today I gave me a set of jewelry like Concubine Rou. I don't think she is the murderer." Luo Yue wrote on the paper, but said, "Concubine Rou is so beautiful, no wonder the emperor pampers her."

Ning Ling smiled slightly, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "The most suspected person is the queen, or the person in the queen's harem. But the suspicion of Concubine Rou cannot be ruled out. The more he looks like the murderer, the deeper he hides." But he said, "The queen is also beautiful and gentle, and deserves to be the 'head of the six palaces'."

"Really? I will go to see the Queen next time." Luo Yue wrote, "You are right. Everyone in the palace is suspicious. We must be vigilant in case the next victim is you and me."

Ning Ling nodded and wrote: "The queen ordered people to monitor me. If I expected it, she already suspected that I was investigating the 'skinning incident'." After confirming that Luo Yue saw it clearly, she crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the charcoal stove. After a moment, a stream of blue smoke rose and the paper had turned into a ball of ashes.

"Okay, I'm going to be on duty," Luo Yue stood up and said, "You have a rest first, and the emperor needs someone to serve him later." As she said that, she opened the door. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a figure disappearing quickly from the corner of the wall, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

That night, Ning Ling and Luo Yue were serving Li Yuanhao for dinner. Halfway through, Li Yuanhao fell to the ground with convulsions. Ning Ling, who was standing beside Li Yuanhao, was startled and reached out to quickly point out several key acupoints in his body. After a closer look, he found that Li Yuanhao's lips and nails had turned black, and there was a layer of black air on his face, which was obviously poisoned.

But how is it possible? The emperor's food must be tested, and there are even special people trying it out. It is not easy to talk about poisoning? How could it be poisoned so easily, and the queen would not start so quickly!

She was thinking that a group of women had already rushed in with great momentum, leading the queen, and behind her was a large group of concubines.

As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, the group of women were immediately frightened and stood there. The queen looked calm and composed. Her eyes swept over Ning Ling and Luo Yue coldly, "Take these two sluts who poisoned the emperor!"

The guards responded and ignored Luo Yue's resistance and imprisoned her and Ning Ling in prison.

The prison was gloomy, only the light emitted by the torches on the walls, the air was filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells, and the torture instruments on the walls were even more dazzling.

"Ning Ling, why did the emperor suddenly get poisoned?" After the guards left, Luo Yue asked Ning Ling in a low voice.

"All this was planned long ago. The queen's appearance shows that she has been waiting outside for a long time. You and I are just scapegoats!" Ning Ling looked at the fire jumping on the wall, "Her real purpose is the emperor, not you and me. I believe that she must know who the skinning murderer is? Even everything in the past is the suspicion that she and the skinning murderer cooperated with each other."

"What about the purpose?"

"The emperor is all serving his confidant members, and it is not easy to attack him. So she set up a murderous array in the palace to be valued by people like you and me, and then to his side. In this way, if something happens to the emperor, all the guilt will be borne by you and me, and no one will doubt her."
