Chapter 218: Thorough Investigation

The news reached her ears one by one, and every time she hit, Hui Zhi's heart seemed to be stirring up a stormy wave.

It was originally a bowl of soup on the emperor's table, and the emperor temporarily rewarded the soup to Liu Jieyu. Unexpectedly, Liu Jieyu vomited blood outside the palace first, slipped the fetus, and died violently on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

In that bowl of soup, it was indeed found that it was highly poisonous - there was one medicine on the wall of the bowl, and another medicine was under the soup, and when the soup collided with the wall of the bowl, it became a bowl of poison.

Otherwise, that night, there would not only be Liu Jieyu who had an accident - the bowl of jade and jasper soup, the concubines in the palace, and the important ministers and nobles of the court had a bowl on the table.

It's just that Liu Jieyu didn't have it on the table, and the emperor remembered that she was from Jiangnan, and this soup looked a little similar to what he had used in Jiangnan.

If the emperor didn't reward the bowl of soup to Liu Jieyu, if the emperor drank the bowl of soup himself, the consequences would ...... Disastrous.

There is also a detailed article in the news, the imperial doctor Dao Liu Jieyu because she likes to eat mung bean cakes, she ate two more before the dinner to pad her stomach, so she did not die of poison on the spot.

The mung bean cake in Jiangnan is very fine peeled and ground, accompanied by the crispy skin soft and glutinous and sweet, while the method in the capital is a bit coarse - not coarse, steamed and crushed with mung bean skin, plus various spices in the imperial dining room, I think the taste is very different from Jiangnan.

She had also heard these gossips about Liu Jieyu, but she hadn't thought about it so much.

The meaning of the imperial doctor's words is that thanks to Liu Jieyu, she used two more mung bean cakes. Mung beans detoxify all kinds of poisons, so Liu Jieyu only felt unwell for a while after drinking the soup, so she took leave to go back to change clothes;

Two months are insufficient, and it is still a pool of blood.

lost a favorite concubine and a child. was almost asked for his own life, and the emperor was naturally furious and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, after the banquet ended. All the concubines in the Guanghe Hall were left in the main hall, and all the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who participated in the banquet, and even the rough eunuchs who sent hot water to the stove of the ceremony were all confined in the main hall.

It wasn't until more than half an hour had passed that the crowd gradually dispersed.

The people who participated in the banquet from top to bottom of the imperial dining room were all put into the prison of the inner palace and severely tortured.

The message said. It was not the queen who presided over the sealing of the main hall, but... The emperor implored the eldest princess of Xinglong to stay and preside over the overall situation of the Guanghe Palace.

There were only Hui Zhi and Jiang Caiqiong in the house.

"Does the emperor suspect that it is the queen?" Hui Zhi frowned, and pondered for a moment before making a slight move, "No wonder." There was a leak in the palace, and the relationship between the emperor and the queen had long been inseparable, and the emperor couldn't trust her, and he said it was in the past. ”

Jiang Caiqiong held a cup of tea in her hand: "The palace suddenly made a mistake and poisoned the emperor." In front of civil and military officials and harem concubines...... It's thrilling, but if it's successful, who benefits the most?"

The emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne, of course, it should be- "Prince?"

Jiang Caiqiong shook her head slightly, "Maybe." If you and I can think of it, there will naturally be others who think of it. But if it weren't for the crown prince, it could only be King Mu. If the emperor dies violently, King Mu is very likely to accuse the prince of planning for a long time. In front of many ministers, if any evidence is shaken out, it will be difficult for the prince to ride a tiger, and the emperor has always liked King Mu. The odds of winning are huge. ”

Hui Zhi chewed these words carefully. Jiang Caiqiong said that King Mu also has a motive to do it, but what about King Xiao?

The filial piety king, who is delicious and has a good temperament, but also wants to touch the throne, will he also be a ruthless person?

She shook her head inwardly.

Since his elder brother and Pei Gu, and even his father are willing to approach King Xiao to help him. I think that there will be something special about this person who comes to King Xiao.

And the prince's insidious and ruthless is really not worthy of being the prince of a country; King Mu's ...... King Mu is sleek, but what kind of person he is, Hui Zhi doesn't know.

I only know that he is also an extremely important person who wants to see power.

On the second day of junior high school, the news from the palace came out again.

The queen didn't know what method she used to clear the suspicion, and she worked with the eldest princess Xinglong to find out some evidence - the evidence pointed directly to Shen Guifei.

The emperor was furious, Shen Guifei wore her face and hair, knelt outside the Imperial Palace for three hours, and cried that the little eunuch who was found to have abnormal movements next to her was not the candidate she usually used at all, but she had seen it in the Li Concubine Palace before, and felt that he was dexterous and could make some gadgets, and before she could say anything, Li Concubine sent the little eunuch to her palace the next day.

It's just a matter of more than a month.

The emperor's eyes were slightly kinder, and he asked Bao Zhengping to take the concubine's clothes and send her back to the palace.

And the little eunuch who was found to be inappropriate was found in the palace early and sunk in a well, and he was wrapped in two packets of medicinal powder, which was identified by the imperial doctor as the poison that killed Liu Jieyu.

The truth is revealed.

Concubine Li was obsessed with it, and only said: "It's all the concubines and ghosts who have lost their minds, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been filthy, and it is difficult to be the prince, but the emperor is tolerant of the prince in every way - the concubines can't look past it, so they thought of this method...... This matter was all done by the concubines alone, and it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Mu!"

Concubine Li even hit the pillar on the spot to prove that what she said was true, and was stopped by the people around the emperor, "I know that the third child will not do such a bastard thing." ”

After returning to Beijing from Jiangnan, King Mu was sent by the emperor to Bashu to inspect, and the time coincided, and King Mu had no chance to do such a thing.

The truth seems to be revealed like this - before and after, but it took three or four days to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and vigorously and resolutely dispose of everything that should be disposed of.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the will of disposal was announced one by one, Shen Guifei was demoted to a concubine, and Concubine Li died.

It turned out to be the concubine Yang who had served the king for many years.

No less than half of the people in the imperial dining room were put to death, executed, or exiled. The entire harem was washed and counted by the queen.

Concubine Li's mother's brother was demoted from the governor of the northern military capital of the third grade to the grain transport officer from the fourth grade, the emperor could not sit in a row, and the Yang family was grateful.

Concubine Yang was removed from the family tree by the Yang family.

Liu Jieyu posthumously sealed Liu Concubine and was buried as a concubine.

Although King Mu was not deprived of his title, he was seized of power and ordered to think about it in the palace - the Praetorian Guards were guarded inside and out, which was like a seclusion.

Hui Zhi went to Zhuqingyuan to find Xia Kun to speak, eating the chestnuts that had just been roasted from the stove in her hand and said, "This is really not a good year." ”

Xia Kun's expression was a little unusual, "Concubine Li is really the real murderer behind the scenes, I always feel like something is wrong." ”

Hui Zhi stared at her twice and asked, "Sister-in-law thinks the same way?" said as she threw a chestnut into her mouth, "I also think something weird." ”

The thorough investigation is too smooth and smooth, and there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no suspicion.

And there is no doubt, in Hui Zhi's view, it is the biggest doubt.

Li Concubine - that petite, beautiful, arrogant, scheming, perennial proud of King Mu, the vase of the Israeli servant, will really lie dormant for a long time, and do such a game?

Hui Zhi didn't believe it in her heart, and subconsciously pinched the badge in the purse she was carrying-it seems that there are still a lot to check. (To be continued.) )
