Mu Zhu hid the resentment in her eyes and walked out of the Lihua Hall quickly, but she did not go to the Tai Hospital, but secretly went to the Yeting Prison.

The court prison is a place where palace people who have committed serious crimes in the harem are imprisoned, and the Shen Penal Division is the two major prison organs in the harem. There is a servant named Xiao Hang in Yeting Prison, who is a good friend who grew up with Mu Zhu's childhood sweetheart, and the two once agreed to marry Mu Zhu when he was twenty-five years old and released from the palace. However, Mu Zhu became one of the most beautiful palace maids in the palace step by step, but Xiao Hang was reduced to the last work in the court prison because of his lack of talent. The gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and no one is talking about the marriage. Today, Mu Zhu came to see Xiao Hang, and he must have something important to ask for.

Mu Zhu stuffed some broken silver to the jailers guarding the door, and asked them to help her call Xiao Hang out. As soon as the jailer heard that she had only come to find an acquaintance and not to visit the prisoner privately, and that it was not a big deal, he readily agreed.

After a while, Xiao Hangjiao pulled his shoes and wore a half-worn uniform, yawning as he walked out of the gate of the prison. Seeing that it was Mu Zhu who had not been in touch for a long time who was waiting to see him, Xiao Hang was slightly surprised: "Mu Zhu? How did you get here? Looking for me? Xiao Hang yawned again as if he was sleep-deprived, not caring at all about showing a sloppy appearance in front of Mu Zhu.

"It's not convenient to talk here, you come with me." After speaking, he didn't ask Xiao Hang if he was willing, turned around and left. Xiao Hang was helpless, and slowly followed her to a relatively secluded small pavilion.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Xiao Hang sat down on the wooden chair, and his whole languid state angered Mu Zhu: "Xiao Hang, why did you become like this now?" You weren't like this before! What about your ambitions? What about your ambitions? ”

"Whew! Ambition? Ambition? I'm a low-end man, and you're talking to me about this? Xiao Hang looked at Mu Zhu with strange eyes.

"What's wrong? Others don't know what you're capable of, and I don't know yet? Your talent in criminal investigation is not inferior to that of the officials of Dali Temple! ”

"So what? I also want to go to Dali Temple on an errand. You think I haven't tried? That kind of place is so easy for a commoner like me who has no money or power to get into. You don't have to worry about my business, can you say that you are looking for me? Xiao Hang was very impatient with Mu Zhu's preaching.

"Well, I won't talk nonsense. I came to you today just to ask if you know any poison that can cause people to die of chronic poisoning? Mu Zhu was so angry that he blurted out his ugly purpose without concealing it.

"Hahaha......" Xiao Hang looked up to the sky and laughed, and after laughing, his eyes were strange and cold: "You said that I have changed, I think it is you who have become too terrible!" I didn't expect you to want to harm others one day......"

"You don't know how many things are involuntary in this harem, if you don't hurt people, you can have a good life, then who would want to hurt people? I can't help it. In short, if you help me get some of these poisons, you will benefit from it after it is done. Mu Zhu closed his eyes painfully, and when he opened them again, there was no struggle in his eyes.

"I'm not going to give you a murder weapon...... But don't say I didn't help you...... Diamonds are the diamonds worn by those nobles. Diamond is hard, and its powder will adhere to the stomach wall if ingested, and long-term friction will cause ulcers and bleeding, and if not treated in time, it will die. Although Xiao Hang did not directly give Muzhu diamond powder, when he said the effect of diamond powder, he had inevitably become an accomplice. Xiao Hang didn't want to stay with Mu Zhu who had become unrecognizable, so he got up and wanted to leave, but as soon as he walked out of the pavilion, he suddenly remembered something, and reminded Mu Zhu with his back to him: "Last autumn, Yeting Prison sent the body of a talented person surnamed Meng, and the person who went to the autopsy said that he was drowned. But I secretly checked the body before sending it for burial, and she wasn't drowned. I guess maybe another victim of a harem fight, so...... Hello do it yourself. After saying that, he left without any nostalgia.

Mu Zhu was secretly surprised, what he said should be Meng Xiruo, the master of Bang Xin, could it be that Meng Xiruo was killed? Who could it be? Forget it, don't think about it yet. The most important thing now is to get the diamond that Xiao Hang said! Having made up his mind, Mu Zhu trotted all the way back to Lihua Palace, only to visit Yilan Hall at night when the moon was dark.

Although diamonds are precious and rare, it is not too difficult for Shen Xiaoxiang to get a few. But to grind into powder for a long time may not be enough, in desperation, only mixed with some other gem powder, anyway, they are all hard things, mixed together probably can also work. What's more, Zheng Jiye's body is broken like that, and it is estimated that it won't take too long to kill her.

So Mu Zhu began to add a little finely ground mixed gem powder to Zheng Jiye's medicine every day, and it continued like this for a month, and Zheng Jiye coughed up blood more and more often. During this period, he also invited the imperial doctor to come and see it, but the imperial doctor Sun that Mu Zhu went to invite was arranged by Shen Xiaoxiang in advance, so naturally he would not tell Zheng Jiye that she was poisoned.

So Zheng Jiye always thought that coughing up blood was not a fatal symptom, and it was good to endure it, but in the past half a month, she always felt a dull pain in her stomach, and it was getting worse and worse. Mu Zhu comforted her and said that it was a side effect of the new medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and it was not in the way, and Zheng Ji did not suspect him.

April 21, the wind is clear. This day coincided with Zheng Jiye's thirty-fourth birthday, and at noon, Concubine De would bring Princess Lingyu to celebrate her birthday, and by the way, she would stay in Lihua Hall for lunch.

Today, Zheng Jiye felt that her spirit was okay, but her stomach pain was still not relieved, but when she thought that she was about to see her daughter, she endured all the pain. She deliberately picked out a brighter Ba Da halo spring brocade robe, combed the ingot bun that looked neat, and in order not to show her daughter to show illness, she also deliberately increased the amount of medicine today.

Since the morning, there have been successive gifts from the emperor and concubines to the Lihua Palace, and before noon, the princess Lingyu was accompanied by the maid Mu Lan and a nurse. I haven't seen her for more than a month, and Zheng Jiye always feels that her little daughter seems to have grown up a lot. Duan Xiu is nine years old this year, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and probably knows how to love beauty. It is a hairstyle for children or unmarried girls, and the hair is combed by dividing the hair into two strands, symmetrically tying them into two large vertebrae, placing them on both sides of the top of the head, and leading out a small lock of hair in a bun. Let it hang down naturally.

The locks hanging down from the bun are braided into thin braids, decorated with pink and tender silk flowers, which is lively and lovely.

"Come, Lingyu, come here and let the concubine take a look." Zheng Ji beckoned to Duan Xiu at night, Duan Xiu approached obediently, she took a pearl headband and put it on Duan Xiu's head and praised: "Lingyu is so beautiful!" ”

"Thank you, Lady Lady. Lingyu wishes the mother and concubine good fortune such as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan! Duan Xiu kowtowed to Zheng Jiye like a little adult, causing Ji Yeguang and Zheng Jiye to laugh. Smiling and smiling, Zheng Jiye's eyes moistened, her daughter gave her the best wishes, and her daughter also hoped that she would live a long life, wouldn't she?

"Mother, why is the lady crying?" Duan Xiu wondered why Zheng Jiye shed tears on her birthday? Shouldn't birthdays be joyful?

"Your lady is so happy. It's called weeping with joy. Ji Yeguang knew that Zheng Ji was shedding tears of relief at night.

"My sister is right. The mother concubine stopped crying, let's set the meal, the mother concubine prepared a lot of Lingyu's favorite food today. Zheng Jiye instructed Mu Zhu to pass the meal, and soon the table was full of all kinds of delicacies.

During the banquet, there was a crispy fried prawn Duanxiu who was very proud, not only did he eat several in a row, but he also did not forget to honor the two concubines, and gave each of them one. Zheng Ji's stomach was already extremely uncomfortable at night, and Mu Zhu also pretended to persuade her not to eat this, but she didn't want to live up to her daughter's filial piety, so she reluctantly ate the shrimp. The shrimp in this dish is not skinned, the whole is wrapped in flour and fried, and when eating, it is only removed from the head and tail and does not peel the skin and eat it directly, the crispy and hard shrimp skin is undoubtedly fatal to Zheng Jiye, who has been perforated in the stomach after taking diamond powder for a month.

After the meal, Zheng Ji felt a burst of colic in her stomach at night, but she still endured gossiping with her daughter and Concubine De, and she endured it until the cold sweat soaked her heart.

After chatting for a while, Zheng Jiye's words gradually decreased, and she listened more to Ji Yeguang and Duan Xiu with a smile. Ji Yeguang's latest discovery was wrong, and she saw Zheng Jiye's face as pale as paper.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Isn't it uncomfortable? Ji Yeguang was worried about the recurrence of her old illness, so she hurriedly called Mu Zhu to get the medicine, and Mu Lan also followed Mu Zhu to help.

Zheng Jiye wanted to stop it, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a stream of blood spurted out, and before Muzhu and the others walked out of the dormitory, they were led back by the sound of coughing one after another. This sudden situation frightened everyone present, the mother's blood splashed the little daughter's body, Duan Xiu looked at the little scarlet on his new clothes, and cried with fear. Zheng Jiye wanted to comfort her daughter but couldn't speak, so she could only tremble and stretch out her hand to touch her, but Duan Xiu was so frightened that she got into Ji Yeguang's arms and refused to come out, and finally could only hang her arms weakly.

"Doctor Legend! Tell the Imperial Doctor! Ji Yeguang was very anxious, and his voice changed tone.

"Slave, slave, maid and maid are going!" Mu Zhu rushed to the Tai Hospital before everyone else, and her heartbeat was so sharp that it was about to burst out of her throat along the way. Here it comes! Here it comes! This moment has finally come!

When Muzhu returned to Lihua Hall with Imperial Doctor Sun who Shen Xiaoxiang had bought, it was too late, and Zheng Jiye had already swallowed his last breath. Duan Xiu has been taken to the side hall by the nurse, and only Ji Yeguang and Mu Lan's master and servant are left in the dormitory, Ji Yeguang is holding a blood-soaked brocade in his hand, and sits at the head of the bed in a daze, while Zheng Jiye, who is lifeless on the bed, has big eyes!

"Sister Shufei...... It's a blind eye! Ji Yeguang sobbed sadly: "Let's go outside and wait first, and then make a decision when the emperor arrives." The crowd withdrew from the dormitory and prepared to welcome the holy car in the main hall.
