Chapter 205: Get to the bottom of it
Besides, on the side of Gong Zhe, after receiving the little internal official and the palace maid, he immediately found the imperial doctor to test the wine, and followed the confession of the palace maid, and quietly arrested and locked up the eunuch who brought her the wine, as well as the people who might be involved in the vine.

Because of the quick and low-key action, the palace people who saw the arrest situation pretended to be blind and deaf, and kept it secretive, so it did not cause any trouble at the wedding banquet of the imperial grandson, and the wedding of the imperial grandson ended smoothly in the end.
But it's a pity that when the people on the queen's side saw that Yao Xuan didn't drink, but left the table with the palace maid, they decisively cut off all the clues that might be exposed.
Therefore, Gong Zhe only harvested a few corpses in the end, and there was no strong evidence to prove the identity of the black hand behind it.
But it is precisely because of the other party's ability to act quickly that Gong Zhe and others are more convinced that it is the faction of the Empress Zhao who has the possibility and ability to do this.
"But we don't have any definite evidence, and besides, telling the saint on today's great day will only make the saint unhappy." Gong Yu had a cold look on his face, he looked at the wine on the table, and then looked at the few imperial doctors who gathered around to check and analyze, but he couldn't hold back his eagerness and didn't urge them.
"There is no need to alarm the imperial uncle for this kind of thing." Gong Zhe shook his head lightly when he heard this, and read the testimony of his subordinates again.
"Then you can't just leave it at that, right?" Gong Yu didn't think that his brother was a man who could swallow his anger, especially this time the calculation was still against Yao Xuan, if Gong Zhe could really endure inaction, Gong Yu would be strange.
But before Gong Zhe could reply, a person who shouldn't have appeared here walked in with a cold face: "Of course you can't do that."
"Your Highness?" Gong Yu saw that it was actually the imperial grandson Gongzhi who came over, and he got up in surprise and asked while saluting, "Why are you here now?" ”
Oh, my little ancestor, this should be the moment of great joy for your cave room flowers!
"I heard...... Something went wrong. Hearing this, Gong Zhi subconsciously glanced at Gong Zhe, and then turned to ask the imperial doctors, "Have you found out?" What's in there? ”
Gong Zhi's control over the palace is now second only to Emperor Zhenglong, so as soon as Gong Zhe made a move, he naturally knew it quickly, and as soon as he heard that Yao Xuan's wine was stuffed, he subconsciously came over to see it in person.
"Back to Your Highness." The imperial physician looked at each other, and the old physician with the most seniority among them stood up and replied, "The ministers are incompetent, and they can't tell what kind of medicine is in this wine for a while, but they only know that it is not highly poisonous, and there are some ingredients that cool the blood and astringent veins, and to know its exact effect, it depends on the follow-up reaction of the animal that tested the medicine." ”
After this powder melted into the wine, there was not much residue left, and the taste was also masked by the taste of the fruit wine, and they could only taste abnormal for a while, but its medicinal effect could only be known after careful exploration.
After the old imperial physician finished speaking, another imperial physician continued: "The ministers also feel that this medicine is not a common medicine in the Great Zhou, and it may not be known if it comes from other places. Or maybe it's because the ministers are lonely and unheard. ”
"Foreign medicine?" Gong Zhi was quite puzzled by this, Yao Xuan, a woman in the boudoir of the inner house, where could an enemy be so troubled and laborious, and get such a non-lethal medicine to deal with her?
Gong Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and the faces of Princess Fuyou and Li Lang, the fourth prince of the Later Tang Dynasty, flashed in his mind, and after weighing, he finally froze on Princess Fuyou's face.
"Brother is a suspicious candidate?" Gong Yu's eyes lit up after seeing Gong Zhe's expression, and there was a look of expectation in his eyes.
His cousin would be so calculated, but Gong Yu would not calculate it so easily.
And Gong Zhi heard Gong Yu ask like this, and his eyes also fell on Gong Zhe's face: "Uncle Zhe?"
"The minister has some thoughts in his heart, but His Highness should not stay for a long time at this time, today is your big day." Gong Zhe did not directly say who was chosen, but looked back at the imperial grandson with a calm gaze, reminding him of the existence of the degree he should be.
"......" Gong Zhi looked at Gong Zhe's gaze as if he had seen everything, and then gently hooked the astringent voice at the corner of his mouth, "Okay, then this matter will be left to you...... I'll go back first. ”
"Send it to Your Highness." Gong Zhe and Gong Yu bowed back to the imperial grandson in unison, and then watched his figure disappear behind the door.
"Well, brother, can you talk now?" Gong Yu took the lead in opening her mouth as if she was changing the topic, feeling that she was caught in the middle, which was really embarrassing.
"Blessed Princess." Gong Zhe didn't hide it, and directly said the name of the person he suspected, and then ordered someone to arrest the people close to Princess Fuyou.
Then, Gong Zhe asked Lu Guo to bring back the pot of wine as evidence, and only kept a small part for the imperial doctors to study.
When Gong Yu heard this name, she didn't think it was strange, but felt that it was no wonder that it was this kind of poison that didn't directly kill people, but I didn't know what this effect was.
The people sent out by Gong Zhe acted quickly, and before Princess Fuyou was in a hurry to return to the embassy after the banquet, they brought some important servants and a few scarred male servants back for interrogation.
And it just so happened that among the abused male servants, one of them was a child of a good family, who was secretly caught by Fuyou Gongzhi into the backyard because of his appearance and body that looked a little like Gong Zhe, so he was unwilling to be abused and trapped, so he took the opportunity to break the news to Gong Zhe about many things he knew about Princess Fuyou.
Among them, it also included the fact that they were preparing to drugged Yao Xuan to 'teach a lesson', because the man was being whipped by the excited Princess Fuyou at that time, so he remembered this very clearly.
After Gong Zhe asked this man who had experienced ups and downs, he felt that this person's heart was not bad, and he was a serious Zhou people, so he ordered someone to restore his good status for him, so that he could live a normal life.
"Brother, you sent him away, don't we have no evidence again?" Gong Yu knew that among the people who were arrested, only this one knew more because he was 'favored', and the others really didn't know anything, and those were all from the Northern Han Dynasty, so it was not easy for them to deal with it themselves.
"No evidence is needed." Gong Zhe picked up the wine jug on the side and looked at it, then handed it back to Lu Guo behind him, "Change the sealed bottle and put it up, let's go." ”
"Brother, what do you want?" Gong Yu reacted and smiled, "I'll go too!" (To be continued.) )
