Guerjia's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Let's talk about this another day, now let's hurry to Yikun Palace." ”

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ling Ruozhi said that he couldn't ask any more, so he could only go to Yikun Palace with her, and when he was about to arrive at Yikun Palace, he unexpectedly met the Nala clan.

And sure enough, she came...... Ling Ruo and the Guerjia clan glanced at each other, and said in unison: "See the queen mother, the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Nala glanced at them and said, "This palace heard that Xu Chang was poisoned in his own palace, and it was also arsenic, and this palace suspected that it was related to the previous incident, so he came here to take a look." Are the concubines and concubines also here for this? ”

Ling Ruo lowered his head and replied, "Yes, the concubine heard Xu Chang's palace maid Zirong say about this matter, and she came to find out what happened, so that the poisoner can be caught as soon as possible." ”

Nala nodded and said, "Since they are all here to investigate this matter, let's go in together." ”

At this time, Xu Shi had already woken up, but his body was very weak, and he reluctantly walked in front of the three of them with Zirong's hand, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "The concubine has seen three maidens. ”

Nala covered up his disgust and disappointment very well, and said warmly: "Xu Chang has no residual poison in his body, so it is not appropriate to move around more, so let's go and sit quickly." ”

"Thank you, Niang!" After the Xu clan sat down, Ling Ruo called Zhou Minghua, who was standing aside, and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhou, are you sure that the poison of arsenic this time is from those arsenic sent by the Internal Affairs Office?" ”

"Yes, Wechen is sure." Hearing Zhou Minghua's answer, Ling Ruo bowed his head and said: "The Internal Affairs Office has sent pearls to the palaces before, and no problems have been found. Things come out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they have to be checked from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. With that, she turned to Nala and said, "What do you think?" ”

Nala raised his eyelids and said, "What the concubine said is reasonable, so I will do what the concubine wants, and let all the people in the Internal Affairs Office who have handled this batch of pearls come for interrogation." ”

Ling Ruo responded and ordered: "Shui Xiu, do what the queen mother says." ”

Shui Xiu retreated according to his words, it stands to reason that it is not far from here to the Internal Affairs Office, but he has not come back for a long time, Nala waited for a while, feeling that something was wrong, and said to Xiao Ningzi who was standing behind him: "You go and see, why haven't you seen anyone for so long." ”

Xiao Ningzi was about to agree, but Guerjia suddenly said: "You don't have to go, because Shui Xiu and they have already returned." ”

Looking up, he saw Shui Xiu coming in with a few people, and when they saluted and got up, Zi Rong said with some excitement: "No, there is another person who didn't come, Qi Jia's - she sent the pearl to the master." ”

There was no part for her to speak here, but at this time, no one was harsh on her, Ling Ruo stared at Shui Xiu and said, "What about Qi Jia's family, why didn't you bring her?" Also, how did you go for so long? ”

Shui Xiu lowered her head and said: "If you go back to the master, the slave maid originally wanted to bring Qi Jia's clan, but when the slave maid found her in her house, she was already out of breath. Because she was the one who gave the pearl to Xu Changzai, the slave dared to invite the imperial doctor for an examination, and found that it was poisoned and died! ”

Nala suddenly got up and stared at Shui Xiu in disbelief, "What are you talking about, Qi Jia's is dead?" ”

"Yes, it is also because of this that the slave and maid will come back late, and the slave and maid also brought the corpse of Qi Jia's family, just outside." Before Shui Xiu's words fell, Nala had already walked out of the hall holding Xiao Ningzi's hand, and there was indeed Qi Jia's corpse outside, without Nala Clan's instructions, Xiao Ningzi walked over to probe his snort and pulse, as Shui Xiu said, there was no breath at all, and his body was cold.

Xiao Ningzi returned to the side of the unkind-faced Nala clan and whispered, "Master, she is really dead." ”

Nala was shocked and angry at the moment, she had obviously arranged everything, why did Qi Jia's suddenly die, could it be ...... Nala thought of a possibility, and immediately turned to look behind her, and sure enough, she noticed a subtle smile on the corner of Niu Hulu's mouth.

It seems that Qi Jia's clan was really killed by Niu Hulu's clan, but I didn't expect this woman to become so decisive and ruthless now, as soon as she found out that Qi Jia's clan had become a pawn she used to deal with her, she immediately sent someone to kill Qi Jia's. Well, that's good! But if she thinks that this is all right, she is very wrong.

Nala suppressed the anger in his heart and said slowly: "Xu Chang just had an accident here, and Qi Jia's was poisoned and died, and things are really a little unusual. ”

Guerjia came over and looked at it, and said: "Now it seems that there should be two possibilities, one is that someone poisoned Xu Changzai and Qi Jia's respectively, and the other is that Qi Jia's committed suicide after poisoning, but if it is according to the meaning of the concubine, it is more inclined to the former one." ”

The Nala clan already knew that she was training the Xu clan, making the Xu clan more and more like the Suo Luo clan, and the hatred for her in her heart even surpassed that of Ling Ruo, and said quietly: "Why did Concubine Jin say this? ”

"Although this incident looks like suicide in fear of sin, we all know that Qi Jia's hands do not have arsenic; Second, even if she and Xu Changzai really have some festivals, they will not kill people to vent their anger; And if you kill it, you will kill it, before the matter is found out, is it necessary to commit suicide in fear of sin? After a pause, she said again: "So in the eyes of the concubine, it is more like someone instructed Qi Jia's family to harm Xu Changzai, and afterwards she was afraid that Qi Jia's family would reveal the truth and implicate herself, so even she was killed, so that others would think that she committed suicide in fear of sin." Niangniang, do you think the concubine has a point? ”

"Concubine Jin has always been observant, so naturally it will not be unreasonable." Saying this, the Nala clan walked up to the palace people who came with Shui Xiu, and after asking them one by one, he said, "Before you came here, did you notice who went to look for Qi Jia's clan during this time?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, Qi Jia's popularity is not very good, so no one usually comes to her, but someone really came to her just now, it was Yang Haiyang's father-in-law beside Guifei Niangniang." The person who spoke was ordered by the Nala clan to smear arsenic on the pearls, and ordered the Qi Jia clan to send the poisonous pearls to the Zhong steward of the Xu clan.

Seeing that Qi Jia's death was really related to Ling Ruo, the Nala clan was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface, he frowned, and said to Ling Ruo, who was speechless: "Concubine, what are you asking Yang Hai to do to see Qi Jia's clan at this time?" Could it be that her death has something to do with you? ”

Ling Ruo lowered his head and said, "Niangniang, can you let the concubine ask a few words?" After the Nala clan agreed, she stared at the Zhong steward and said, "You said that you saw Yang Hai go to Qi Jia's family, then this palace asked you, when Yang Hai left, was Qi Jia's family dead or alive?" ”
