Madam Jingrou must have not had a good rest, so her face looked exceptionally pale.
She was used to Lin Mengya's nerve-soothing incense. She took a look and nodded, silently allowing Lin Mengya to put the incense bait into the incense burner.
Lin Mengya got up and walked to the incense burner in front of the two. She opened the box and randomly put one into the incense burner.
The burning hot charcoal instantly gave off a fragrant aroma that was delightful to the senses.
It made people feel warm in their hearts.
Madam Jingrou gradually relaxed her brows. Even the King seemed to be affected, and his expression was no longer so tense.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, frowned.
"Madam, there's something wrong with this incense!"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Mengya's expression changed drastically and she shouted in a low voice.
She immediately took a teacup in front of Madam Jingrou and extinguished the charcoal in the incense burner.
"What's wrong?"
Even Madam Jingrou was shocked by this change, and could not help but look at Lin Mengya in confusion.
This girl had always been calm. Something must have happened for her to be like this.
"Please forgive me, Madam Jingrou! I smell something wrong with this incense bait. For the safety of both of you, I have to invite Doctor Wang to examine it! Ningqiu, keep an eye on the incense box, no one is allowed to go near it! "
Lin Mengya's serious face made the King and Madam Jingrou realize that something was wrong.
Madam Jingrou looked at the King, and after he nodded, she sent someone to invite Doctor Wang who was on duty in the palace.
After a while, Doctor Wang hurried over.
At this moment, Lin Mengya was kneeling on the ground, and had not touched the incense burner and the incense box.
"Your Majesty, I kowtow to you. Is there something wrong with your body?"
As the Doctor Wang, he naturally had to serve the royal family.
But the King had been practicing martial arts since he was young, and there were many capable people around him, so there was rarely anything he could do.
Now that he was summoned in such a hurry, it was indeed a little different.
"Helan, he is here. Tell me, what's going on?"
The King did not care about these small matters, so Madam Jingrou asked.
Since she was asked, Lin Mengya did not dare to be negligent.
"Your Highness, I think there's something wrong with the fragrance of the incense bait. There seemed to be a faint stench in the air. This bait was personally made by this servant, and I definitely didn't put such a thing in it. So, this servant was wondering if there was something wrong with the bait. Although it is only a small matter, this matter concerns Your Highness and His Majesty, so this servant has no choice but to be cautious. "
Lin Mengya spoke very sincerely. She did not try to excuse herself just because she was the one who made it.
However, what she said was the truth.
As long as it was related to His Majesty, any small matter could become a big matter.
Madam Jingrou thought what she said made sense, so she asked Lin Mengya and Doctor Wang to examine it together.
The incense bait in the incense burner was only half burned. Doctor Wang carefully took it out, placed it in his hand, and gently sniffed it.
His relaxed expression became more and more solemn.
Lin Mengya was also a little uneasy. After exchanging glances with Doctor Wang, both of them had a plan in mind.
"Are the other baits here?"
"Yes, this servant doesn't dare to make a decision on my own. I've ordered people to keep a close eye on it, and no one is allowed to touch it. "
Ning Qiu immediately sent the box of incense over. The box was under the nose of His Majesty and Madam Jingrou, so no one had the ability or the courage to touch it.
Doctor Wang opened the box to examine it, and his eyebrows became tighter and tighter. In the end, it was like a dead knot.
"What's going on? Doctor Liu, is there something wrong with the incense? "
The atmosphere in the sleeping chamber was extremely serious, and no one dared to say a word.
Even the Lord, who had been reading a book, looked at Doctor Liu and Lin Mengya.
There was a little impatience in her cold eyes, which made Doctor Liu tremble with fear.
"Madam, it seems that this incense has been mixed with poison! As for what this poison is, I will have to go back and examine it carefully. But this incense can't be used. "
Someone actually dared to put poison in the incense!
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines all the way to the top of their heads.
"Bang!" The book in His Majesty's hand was slammed on the table.
Everyone was so scared that they knelt down, and no one dared to say a word.
"Investigate."
The cold voice was full of killing intent, like a block of ice covering everyone's head.
The first person to bear the brunt was naturally Lin Mengya.
She didn't defend herself, but after kowtowing, she looked at His Majesty and Madam Jingrou with a very sincere tone.
"Since the incense was made by me, no matter how it was mixed with poison, I'm guilty of carelessness in keeping it. Madam Jingrou and His Majesty, please punish me. "
Lin Mengya took the initiative to admit her mistake, so Madam Jingrou and His Majesty couldn't punish her too severely.
Moreover, she was the first person to point out that there was something wrong with the incense.
Even a strict person like His Majesty couldn't speak up.
"You're indeed responsible for this matter. Get up first. You said that you made this incense yourself. Did you find anything unusual before coming here?"
Lin Mengya was the first person to handle it, so naturally, if there was anything unusual, she would be the one to notice.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then slowly said.
"I mixed the incense, and the people in Phoenix Wing Garden made it. I brought it here after it was smoked dry. Oh yes, before I left, I tested it with the people in charge of making it, and there was nothing wrong with it. But I don't know why it was mixed with poison when I came here. "
If there was nothing wrong with it when it was taken out from Phoenix Wing Garden, then it meant that the problem had happened on the way here.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, and a look of realization appeared on her face. But when she looked at Madam Jingrou and His Majesty, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"What did you think of? Just say it."
Madam Jingrou could tell that she wanted to say something, but after Lin Mengya looked at her timidly, she spoke with some difficulty.
"Other than the people in Phoenix Wing Garden who touched this incense, it was also touched by a palace maid named Yuan Shu on the way here. As for the rest, there's nothing else. "
The name Yuan Shu made Madam Jingrou's face turn ugly.
Because she was the dowry of the King's Empress, and she had some influence in the palace, even Madam Jingrou had to give her a lot of face when she first entered the palace.
Now, of all things, she was the one who had bumped into it.
The things that happened in this matter would more or less make a lot of connections.
"You little girl, how can you talk nonsense!"
Madam Jingrou spoke harshly. Because of her relationship with the King's Empress, she was reprimanded by His Majesty.
Now that she had a relationship with the people around the King's Empress, she was naturally a little afraid.
But Lin Mengya kept kowtowing and said that everything she said was true.
Things were a little difficult now. Madam Jingrou had no choice but to look at His Majesty for help.
"This matter is all up to His Majesty."
The bedroom fell into silence. Lin Mengya knelt on the ground, accepting His Majesty's gaze.
The latter's eyes were cold, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He looked at Lin Mengya thoughtfully, and then looked at Doctor Liu.
"Ask the Great Witch Doctor to come here. I want to know what this poison is immediately."
With His Majesty's words, this matter was considered to have come to a conclusion.
The investigation must be carried out strictly. Moreover, this Great Witch Doctor had served the royal family for generations, and he was the noblest person.
Moreover, he was well-versed in poisons. There was no poison in the world that could escape his eyes.
If it was the poison in the spice, it would be harmful to His Majesty and Madam Jingrou.
No matter who it was, he would investigate to the end.
The Great Witch Doctor was the guardian of the royal family. Summoning him here meant that this matter would definitely be investigated to the end.
Madam Jingrou looked a little worried, but when her eyes fell on the spice box, she became extremely determined.
Poisoning and plotting against her was one thing, but they actually wanted to lay their hands on His Majesty.
She would never let this matter go!
"Before the matter is investigated, you have to suffer a little. Someone, bring Helan to the side chamber. Without my and His Majesty's orders, no one is allowed to visit her. "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lin Mengya lowered her head and stood up from the ground.
He obediently followed the servant out of the sleeping chamber, but he was brought to an inconspicuous small side chamber.
In addition to a bed, there were only two chairs and a table.
"Miss Helan, please."
Those who could serve His Majesty were all lucky people.
Even though Lin Mengya was locked up now, the servant was still polite and didn't neglect her at all.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. By the way, the spice box is very important. Please take good care of it for Helan."
The servant smiled as a response to her words.
What she said and what she did, in the eyes of others, was the appearance of an innocent person who was trying hard to clear her name.
Even these few words would be passed on to the King's ears.
Lin Mengya sighed and walked to the side chamber obediently. She turned her back to the window, as if there were thousands of things weighing on her mind.
With her sharp hearing, she heard the sound of footsteps gradually leaving.
In the darkness, Lin Mengya, who was originally depressed, at this moment, the corners of her mouth curved up into a meaningful smile.
Everything was going according to her plan.
She believed that tomorrow, the drama would be especially exciting.
Yuan Shu would be the key evidence to overthrow the King.
At that time, she would like to see how the First Prince would choose between the King's trust and her mother's innocence.
In the small side chamber, although it was not as comfortable and comfortable as Fengyu Garden, it was quiet and clean. Fortunately, it was quiet and clean, and there was nothing lacking. She was living a leisurely life.
From the window, she could vaguely see the situation in the bedroom.
Not long ago, a group of people dressed in strange clothes went in the direction of the bedroom.
They must be the Great Witch Doctor.
At this time, the sun was setting, and night was coming.
