216 Track down the murderer

After Yangchun's reminder, Jin Yu suddenly remembered that not long after she boiled the medicine, Yangchun suddenly came to her, saying that she wanted to make small wontons at night, but she couldn't mix delicious wonton filling, so she wanted her to help herself.

Jin Yu thought that the medicine had just been boiled, and it would be okay not to be watched by anyone for a while, and it wouldn't take long to mix a wonton filling, so she left with Yangchun, and it only took half a cup of tea before and after, so she didn't take it to heart at all.

"Definitely, yes!" Thinking of this, Jin Yu was almost certain that it was only after he left for a short time that Yujiao had the ability to do things in the fetal pills, "Except for going to the kitchen to help you mix wonton filling, I'm sure I never left the medicine furnace for half a step!" ”

Hearing her like this, Yang Chun was also a little apprehensive in her heart, if she had known that someone would be unfavorable to Qu Wurong and the child in her belly, she would not have asked Jin Yu to leave the medicine furnace to help her mix wonton stuffing, but then again, who would have thought that there would be people with ill intentions hidden in this Xiangxue Palace?

Hearing that they had finally found the crux of the problem, Shen Wu'an and Qu Wurong didn't blame the two girls, after all, everything had happened, and it was pointless to say anything now.

"That's right." Shen Wu'an suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who is that Yujiao?" ”

"She's the rough girl in charge of the fire." Bai Xue replied, "Usually silent, I thought she was a mute when I first opened it!" If it weren't for the palace maid who lived in the same room as her today, I wouldn't even be able to think of such a person who still exists. ”

She is responsible for managing all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Xiangxue Palace, and even she is not very familiar with this palace maid called "Yujiao", which shows how low Yujiao's sense of existence in this Xiangxue Palace is, who would have thought that such a dispensable person could actually do such a hateful thing?

Hearing her words, Shen Wu'an pondered for a moment and asked again, "Is she new recently?" ”

"It's not." Bai Xue shook her head, "When I entered the palace with Yangchun, she was already here. ”

Hearing her words, Shen Wu'an turned his head to look at the people around him, "Xiao Rong'er, do you have an impression of this person?" ”

Qu Wurong thought about it seriously when he heard this, and found that he didn't have any impression of this name, "No, I don't remember such a person at all." ”

At this time, Liangyuan interjected: "She's just a girl who burns a fire in the kitchen, and Niangniang has never seen her, so naturally she won't remember." ”

"That is to say, it can't be because Xiao Rong'er offended her, so she did this kind of thing with a grudge." After summarizing what several people had just said, Shen Wu'an finally came to this conclusion, "In this case, there is only one possibility. ”

Understanding the meaning of his words, Qu Wurong nodded approvingly, "I also think she was instructed by someone." ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let people find out about this matter!" Shen Wu'an said, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, he wanted to see who had such courage to dare to murder the emperor's heir!

Qu Wurong knew that he was in a rage at this moment, and did not raise any objections to his words, but turned his head to a few girls and said, "A few of you tell me to go down, no one is allowed to spread today's matter outside, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

"Yes!" Several girls agreed and withdrew from the hall one after another.

When there were only two of them left in the hall, Qu Wurong pulled Shen Wu'an to sit down, poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table and handed it to him, and persuaded him softly: "It's just a false alarm, don't take it too seriously, drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger." ”

"How can I not take it to heart?" Shen Wu'an sighed lightly when he heard this, and held her hand firmly with his other free hand, "I heard that when you and the child almost had an accident, my heart was about to stop beating, today is a lucky escape, but if you don't find out the culprit hidden behind the scenes, who can guarantee that there will be such good luck next time?" There's no way I'm going to let you and your kids take another risk! ”

"I know." Qu Wurong lowered his head and looked at their clasped hands, "I don't want to stop you from finding the murderer, I just don't want you to put too much pressure on yourself because of this matter." This time I was careless, thinking that this Xiangxue Hall is full of reliable people, and I will pay more attention in the future, so that our children will not be harmed in any way! ”

Shen Wu'an held her hand tightly and did not speak.

Taiye Palace.

"You said there was no movement in the Xiangxue Palace?" Hearing the news that Lilac inquired from outside, Qu Wuwu frowned in confusion, "It shouldn't be, didn't that girl find what I said to do?" ”

Lilac pursed her mouth and said, "Otherwise, I'll go out and inquire again?" ”

"No need." Qu Wuwu thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know what happened yet, it's better for you to be careful, so as to save people from grabbing any handles, anyway, there will be news sooner or later." ”

Hearing her say this, Lilac secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "The slave knows." ”

"Then you go down first." Qu Wuwu waved his hand lazily at her, and when she was the only one left in the hall, she put away the lazy look on her face, and her brows furrowed slightly.

This time her plan should be foolproof, Yujiao has been in the Xiangxue Palace for a long time, and she has an honest personality and is diligent in her work, so it will not arouse the suspicion of others, so Qu Wurong will not find out that someone has tampered with her fetal pills, but why has it been two days, but there has been no movement in the Xiangxue Palace?

Although her first reaction was that Yujiao's girl didn't do what she said, or didn't find a suitable opportunity, but this idea was quickly dispelled by her, she didn't believe that she threatened her with Yujiao's family, and that girl dared to disobey her orders.

Then, it can only be that Qu Wurong did drink the bowl of fetal medicine with a large amount of safflower, and the child in his belly also successfully flowed out, but he was afraid that the absence of the dragon fetus would cause commotion and dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition, so he deliberately blocked the news.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qu Wuwu's mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer.

She still thought that Qu Wurong was so smart that she could do such a stupid thing, did she think that she had blocked the news that she had miscarried, and she would be able to sit back and relax from now on? After a few months, she won't be able to give birth to a child, see how she will explain to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!

Qu Wuwu waited with anticipation to see Qu Wurong expelled from the palace again, but what happened the next day completely shattered her wish.

The next day, just after lunch, she was about to go to bed to take a nap, but saw Lilac walk in with a panicked expression, "Niangniang, it's not good!" ”

"What's going on?" Looking at her with the appearance of six gods and no master, Qu Wuwu frowned and asked.

"Suddenly there are a lot of Imperial Guards outside." Although she was very flustered, Lilac still tried to calm herself, "It is said that it is the emperor's order to investigate some case, and let all of us go to the courtyard for questioning!" ”

"Investigating the case?" Hearing her words, Qu Wuwu's brows deepened a little, "What case is being investigated?" ”

Lilac shook her head, "The slave and maid are not very clear, the person who came to deliver the message is not clear, and he left after speaking, and the slave and maid did not have time to ask." At this point she paused, and then cautiously said, "Niangniang, do you think they will be ......?"

"Shut up!" Before she could finish speaking, Qu Wuwu interrupted her, and glared at her fiercely, "I don't know what's going on now, don't scare yourself here, and besides, be more natural later, don't look like you're weak-hearted, do you hear?" ”

"The slave hears it." Lilac nodded hurriedly.

Hearing her answer, Qu Wuwu showed a satisfied expression, "Okay, let's go." ”

The courtyard outside has gathered a lot of people at this time, whether it is the master or the subordinate in the palace, many of them have been gathered here, as soon as Qu Wuwu and the talents in her palace appeared, Concubine Xi and Yu Zhaorong greeted them with the palace maids who were waiting with them, "Sister Wuwu (sister), are you here?" ”

"I heard Lilac say that everybody has to come and be questioned." Qu Wuwu said as he looked at them, "What happened?" ”

Concubine Xi and Yu Zhaorong were also at a loss, "Who knows?" Suddenly, a large number of Royal Guards broke in, saying that they wanted to investigate some case. Isn't the investigation of the case a matter of Dali Temple? When was it the turn of these people from the Guards to intervene? ”

Hearing that they didn't know the reason, Qu Wuwu's heart couldn't help but rise, but on the surface, he didn't show it at all, "Let's wait and see, I guess we'll know later." ”

Xi Concubine and Yu Zhaorong both nodded yes.

It didn't take long for Xu Ke, who was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to slowly walk in, slowly scanning the crowd before he asked, "Are all the people here?" ”

"Back to the commander, all the people in the Taiye Palace have already arrived." The one who answered him was the same man he had sent to deliver a message to the palaces.

Xu Ke nodded in satisfaction, and then gestured behind him, "Carry the person over." ”

"Yes!" The two guards behind him agreed, turned and walked out, and then they saw the two men come in with a thin plank of wood covered with a white cloth.

Under Xu Ke's instructions, the two people put the wooden board in their hands in the middle of the crowd, and then slowly lifted the white cloth covered on it, and a female corpse dressed as a palace maid appeared in front of everyone.

"Ahh

Most of the people present were women, and after seeing the corpse on the wooden plank clearly, they couldn't help but let out a terrible scream, and kept retreating as they screamed, not daring to look at the corpse more.

Many of them were bold, not only did they not stay away, but they stepped forward to take a closer look, and after seeing that the corpse on the wooden board was not someone they knew, they all retreated back to their original positions, and gathered together in groups and whispered.

Although Lilac didn't dare to step forward to see what was going on, she had already recognized the person's identity just by glancing at it from a distance, and she couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and her legs and stomach trembled uncontrollably.
