"It was natural for me to kill him! He was so disobedient and unfilial, and it would not be an exaggeration to kill him with a thousand swords in return for kindness... But my father let him go..."

Ye Ping chuckled and said slowly.

"Let him go? Why?"

Queen Mother Qi was surprised and asked doubtfully.

"My father said that the man was just a farmer. He still had four children to feed, but he only had a few acres of thin farmland. He would get up early and finish the farm work every day, and then go to serve his mother. Although his parents raised him, he had not done it for decades.

It's inevitable that I'll feel sleepy every day. It's not that that person doesn't want to honor his old mother, it's just that he can't afford that filial piety..."

Ye Ping smiled.

Queen Mother Qi and Princess Roufu both fell silent, their eyes changing as they digested the message in Ye Ping's words.

They lived in the palace and were used to living a wealthy life, but they never thought that there would be times when their filial piety could not be paid off.

Was the person who wanted to kill Ye Taicheng wrong?

It seems, and that's right, he can't live any longer, so he naturally wants to kill someone!

Isn't that right? The kindness of parents in raising her is as deep as mountains and seas. But he doesn't want to cure his mother when she is seriously ill. This is of course unfilial.

What Empress Dowager Qi wants is more. She has lived for ninety years. Now, Emperor Xuanhe can certainly afford her food and clothing, but is he tired of her, an old mother, taking away the power in his hands?

?

The answer is probably yes.

"Hahaha, actually, I made up this story. After the man brought his old mother home, he kept her in the high hall and took care of her until she was old. She was very filial and it became a good story..."

Ye Ping laughed loudly when he saw this.

"You're such a slick guy, you actually fooled me into believing your lies!"

Empress Dowager Qi pretended to be angry and pointed at Ye Ping to scold him, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't help stroking her hands and laughing.

At the same time, Chen Hong arrived at the entrance of the hall in a hurry. When he saw Ye Ping saying something, he actually made the Queen Mother laugh and frown.

Judging from the expression on Empress Dowager Qi's face at this moment, he knew that Emperor Xuanhe's desire to kill Ye Ping was probably not that simple.

"The Queen Mother, Chen Hong has an audience."

After Chen Hong hesitated for a moment, he still saluted the Empress Dowager Qi respectfully and said.

"Ye Ping wants to ask you something, just answer him truthfully." Empress Dowager Qi nodded, said warmly, and then said to Ye Ping: "The person is here, let's ask questions."

"Eunuch Chen is here. Alas, in fact, I have just thought about it clearly. Eunuch Chen is in charge of the defense of the palace and is loyal to Your Majesty. Naturally, he will not do anything harmful to the Queen Mother. Moreover, as a master, Eunuch Chen will not do anything harmful to the Queen Mother.

, of course there are thousands of ways to do it without anyone noticing, so why would you use poisoning? Eunuch Chen, please come back quickly, I will never ask you a word..."

Hearing this, Ye Ping stood up, cupped his hands towards Chen Hong, and said.

I will never ask you a word!

When Chen Hong heard Ye Ping's words, his face immediately became so gloomy that he almost shed tears.

How could he not know that this guy Ye Ping was trying to avenge himself for what he said yesterday, so he deliberately amused himself and made this trip in vain.

Not only that, but Ye Ping didn't ask anything about his coming and going. What's the point of spreading this word? Doesn't it make people doubt that he is really suspected of murdering the Queen Mother Qi?

When the time comes, it will be yellow mud that falls into the crotch, which is either feces or feces. Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it away.

"Now that you're here, I'd better ask Divine Doctor Ye..."

Chen Hong glanced at Ye Ping and said neither humble nor arrogantly.

"I said half a word and didn't ask, so I definitely won't ask. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Eunuch Chen, and it would be a distrust of His Majesty's knowledge of people! Eunuch Chen, for the sake of Your Majesty's name, please hurry up and

Leave..."

Ye Ping waved his hand and turned his head to the side, but he didn't even look at Chen Hong.

This evil thief!

Chen Hong gritted his teeth, and the anger in his eyes was almost solidified. For the first time in history, he began to hate his identity. If he hadn't been an internal minister, with his seventh-grade master level cultivation, he would have been able to control this with one hand.

Pinch out the boy's shit!

"Chen Hong, since Ye Ping doesn't ask, there is no need to ask anything else. The Ai family also believes in you and the emperor."

At this moment, before Chen Hong could speak, the Queen Mother Qi waved her hands and said with a smile.

"I must live up to the Queen Mother's trust."

Chen Hong was unwilling to do so, but when the Empress Dowager Qi spoke, he had to leave. He could only bow respectfully, then left and turned back feeling angry.

"Is the genius doctor's mind as big as the nose of a needle? Eunuch Chen only questioned you a few words yesterday, and you are going to deliberately entertain him today. However, he is a seventh-grade master, so you don't have to worry. He is furious.

Attack and wipe you out?"

After Princess Roufu watched Chen Hong leave, she looked at Ye Ping and asked with a smile.

"Princess, do you think that besides this time, how many more opportunities can I have to amuse a grandmaster? And who stipulates that a grandmaster can question others, but others cannot question the grandmaster?"

Ye Ping smiled and shrugged, with an indifferent expression on his face.

This guy is a madman!

Princess Roufu's eyes twitched when she heard Ye Ping's words, and she suddenly regretted her actions last night.

He dares to amuse even the Grand Master, so what does his small second-level realm mean?

As for the identity of the princess, I'm afraid it will only make this madman more excited?!

"Do you want to interrogate the other people in my palace?"

At this time, Queen Mother Qi looked at Ye Ping and asked with a smile.

"Then it depends on how much the Queen Mother trusts them. If the Queen Mother thinks they are trustworthy, then I believe they are trustworthy. If the Queen Mother thinks they are not trustworthy, then I will give them a good interrogation..."

Ye Ping said with a smile.

He already knew the culprit, and he also knew that the final result would be to leave it alone, or to make the scapegoat take the blame.

Even if you cross-examine 10,000 people, it will not change the final result.

"These people in the Ai family palace are all carefully selected by me. The Ai family believes that they will not poison me." Empress Dowager Qi said with a smile, then waved to the little palace maid waiting beside her and said: "

Qiuyue, go and bring up the candied fruits that Concubine Zhou sent you a few days ago. The candied fruits are sweet and sour, and are a perfect match for tea."

Concubine Zhou...

When Ye Ping heard what Empress Dowager Qi said, his heart suddenly thumped. He looked at Empress Dowager Qi and found that she was looking at him with a smile.

Empress Dowager Qi never speaks or does things without aim. Now that she suddenly talked about Concubine Zhou, there was only one possibility, and that was to hope that Ye Ping would label Concubine Zhou as the poisoner.

The imperial concubine poisoned the Queen Mother and had no other choice but to be thrown into the cold palace and die with a piece of white silk.

But, why did the Empress Dowager Qi frame Concubine Zhou?

For a moment, Ye Ping felt that the context in his mind suddenly became clear, especially when combined with the memories of Empress Dowager Qi.

Concubine Zhou's influence in the palace is growing. Although she is the co-manager of the Sixth Palace in name, in fact, the position of queen is vacant, so Concubine Zhou is equivalent to the queen.

Especially after Zhou Qian served as the governor of Jing'an Division, Concubine Zhou's power in the palace became more and more powerful, her status became more and more stable, and she may even have contact with the aristocratic sects. As for Emperor Xuanhe, Only one powerful relative will be allowed to appear in the palace, and no second one will be allowed to appear!

The queen naturally wants to control everything in the inner palace.

But the Queen Mother also has to control everything in the inner palace.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, except one male and one female. But now, these two tigers are both female.

Wu Zetian could strangle Princess Anding to death and frame the blame on the Queen; Huanhuan could use abortion to frame Uranala; then, why couldn't Empress Dowager Qi poison herself to frame Concubine Zhou?

In my memory, the Qi family gave the Empress Dowager Qi two porcelain bottles. One porcelain bottle contained the poison, so the other bottle might be the antidote!

I'm afraid that even without her, the Queen Mother would still be fine. Likewise, the ultimate target of poisoning would be the candied fruit sent by Concubine Zhou!

In an instant, although the expression on Ye Ping's face was calm, deep in his heart, there was already a huge wave of waves rising.

He didn't know, under such circumstances, how should he choose, to obey the Queen Mother Qi and frame Concubine Zhou, or to expose the Queen Mother Qi and prove Concubine Zhou's innocence?

Was Concubine Zhou at fault? Of course, she was in cahoots with Zhou Qianhang. Without her, Zhou Qian would not have dared to be so presumptuous!

However, she didn't seem to have done anything wrong. After all, everything she did was to allow herself to survive and live better in this deep palace!
