Chapter 678: The Poisoner Is in the Temple
The shadow of the moon shifted westward, gradually falling.
The summer night in the capital is extremely dark, the stars twinkle, and the night sky is a little blurry.
As soon as the water vapor fell at night, a mist appeared, and a group of people stepped on the mist and walked into the main hall of Shoukang Palace.
Chu Feng was dragged left and right, his brain was dizzy, and the soles of his feet were still weak, he wanted to reach out and pinch his head, but his hands couldn't be lifted, and one person on each arm was clamped.
No matter how slow you react, you should notice that something is wrong.
Especially the people in this full hall, headed by the emperor, all looked gloomy and grim.
"Your Majesty, we found a suspicious person outside Shoukang Palace." The forbidden army in the palace didn't know Chu Feng, but they just replaced it with 'one person', obviously they didn't want to get involved with him at all.
The forbidden army threw the person to the ground, Chu Feng held his right hand, the wine roamed in his chest, stumbled to the ground, and when he raised his head, he fell into the emperor's cold gaze, he chuckled in his heart, and his eyes were burned red by the spirits, "The emperor's ......" is broken, why did he break into the harem and ask for his own life!
Just when Chu Feng regretted that wine was not a good thing, and it was really easy to make mistakes if he drank too much, the forbidden army threw another sentence, "I suspect that he has something to do with the poisoning of the Queen Mother." ”
Chu Feng's confused mind was agitated, and he stayed in place in astonishment.
The Queen Mother was poisoned?
And he became a suspect?
When did this happen?
"Commander Liu, you can't talk nonsense, you see him drunk like this, he doesn't remember anything at all." Seeing that his brother didn't move, Mu Yuan couldn't help but jump out and pouted: "Don't you can't catch someone, although find a replacement." "The face is full of tsundere, and the expression of the master who has seen everything through is written.
The forbidden army known as Commander Liu hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare to be humble, I asked the guards outside the Shoukang Palace just now, when Yueqiu was sending the decoction, Lord Chu had deliberately pretended to be her." ”
Yueqiu is one of the queen mother's personal palace maids, she was kneeling on the side trembling, hearing Commander Liu say this, she immediately remembered, "The slave and maid remember, when Lord Chu suddenly came out and startled the slave and maid, the slave and maid almost spilled the decoction, Lord Chu ......" She glanced at Chu Feng timidly, this adult is romantic, but not obscene, but on weekdays, his life is at stake at the moment, where to care about those, he is afraid that the emperor will not believe it, and said earnestly: "Lord Chu has the best chance to contact." ”
At the right time, the imperial physician had already inspected the affairs of the Queen Mother's diet and bedding, and found poison in the decoction.
Chu Feng's mind was still knotted, Mu Yuanche glared at Commander Liu, turned his head and sneered coldly at Yueqiu: "Rong Ruo said that he was chronically poisoned, and he just had a seizure today, can Chu Feng still enter the palace every day to hit you?" ”
jumped up and down in front of the emperor like this, and spoke unceremoniously, only the demon king of the mixed world, Prince Chun, dared to do this.
Yueqiu choked on the question, "Slave, slave, slave......"
Mu Yuanche glanced at Commander Liu tuggingly, hum, Mu Liangcheng's dog legs!
"If you poison you, you don't have to go out on your own every time." To everyone's surprise, the person who spoke was Liu Siyi, she put one hand on her chest and pressed the regurgitation, stood up and looked at a few people, her face was calm, and she didn't speak in a wave, and she always looked like a beautiful girl, "Now that I have a clue...... Father, if you thoroughly investigate the inside and outside of Shoukang Palace, the murderer will always leave clues. ”
In this way, Chu Feng's guilt is given first, and then he will find an accomplice.
Mu Yuanche raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't know, the second emperor's sister-in-law still has the ability to solve the case, and she can go to Dali Temple to help in the future. ”
The emperor snorted coldly, glanced at Mu Yuanche with cold eyes, and only after he successfully shut up did he say, "Liu Kai, did you ask anything?" ”
There are a lot of people up and down the Shoukang Palace, in addition to these people in the palace who are close to the Queen Mother, there are more than 100 kneeling outside, Liu Kai hurriedly trotted over, "Your Majesty, the person in charge of making medicinal food for the Queen Mother in the imperial dining room has been arrested, but he hasn't asked anything useful yet." ”
Chu Feng understood that there was no second suspect except for him, a cold sweat suddenly appeared behind his back, and he turned his head faintly to look at Mu Beichen, who was standing closest to the gate.
He just drank two sips of wine and slept in the wrong place, and how did it turn out like this?
At this time, Chu Feng's wine woke up for the most part, and his sweaty clothes were blown cold by the wind blowing from outside the hall, and a chill emanated from his bones, "Your Majesty, Weichen does not dare to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother at all, let alone poison, please let the emperor be clear." ”
shouted injustice in his mouth, and he was thinking about it in his heart, which king and calf wanted to frame him, if he knew, he would definitely give him eight pieces, grandma's!
"Emperor, the emperor ......" The voice was timid, and she was a little trembling when she listened carefully, she was just a little nobleman beside the emperor, in this hall, there was no part to speak, standing under Concubine Yi, her hands were restlessly wringing the handkerchief in her hands, and when everyone's eyes looked over, her fingers stretched forward, "That day, the concubine visited the Queen Mother, and when she passed through Qingxi Palace, she saw Mrs. Chu and ......"
The noble man is one of the two new concubines that Rong Ruo has seen, less than twenty years old, with a round face, a pair of round eyes, and a little childishness, delicate as water, shy and timid, and a little uneasy, "Mrs. Chu is talking to the moonset in the Queen Mother's palace. ”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Beichen's cold eyes turned deep, and the other people had different expressions, somewhat suspicious, especially the emperor, who suddenly turned to Chu Feng, his eyes were like knives, and he swept over unceremoniously, like a sharp blade scraping his face, which made people tremble and frightened.
Chu Feng sighed again in his heart, "I heard that the Queen Mother was unwell, so my mother specially went to the palace to visit. "There were other people who went with him that day, not Lin Yuanxiu, it was because the envoys of the Three Kingdoms entered the palace, and Concubine Jin set up a banquet to invite the high-ranking officials and marquis in the capital, mainly to explore the bottom of the matter, but the queen mother was sick, and then Concubine Jin took all the ladies to greet him.
"The concubine didn't mean that, she just saw Lord Chu and just remembered this matter, please don't misunderstand." The criminal nobleman seemed to have consciously said the wrong thing, bit his lip, and his round eyes contained a layer of mist, revealing a little bit of the delicate and poignant beauty of pear blossoms with rain.
Mu Yuanche secretly pulled Mu Beichen's sleeve, "Brother Huang, did Chu Feng seduce her before and abandon her." "Otherwise, how could I step on it at this time.
Said it wasn't intentional?
Hehe, which one is not a human spirit here, it's okay to deceive ghosts.
As soon as the criminal nobleman mentioned this, the emperor, who was already very suspicious, glanced at Chu Feng coldly, and then his eyes turned and fell to Mu Beichen, "Liu Kai, bring Chu Wangzhi and his wife over." ”
Chu Feng's brows furrowed, at this time, if he hadn't heard that this was aimed at him or the Chu family, he would have lived so much in vain, but he couldn't figure it out, why did he go around in such a big circle to poison the Queen Mother, could it be that he was framing their Chu family?
When the Chu family arrived at Chu Xuan, the protector of the country, the emperor relied on it very much, but in the end, the Chu family was only a civil official family, and there was no military power in his hands, as for the son raised by Chu Xuan, Chu Wangzhi acted quite well, and he would not openly form gangs in the court, but kept a low profile everywhere, so for so many years, the emperor was very jealous of the Yan family, although Yan and Chu were good, but he still valued the Chu family, because the Chu family could not make much waves, and it would not have any impact on his country.
Under such circumstances, there are still people who have to move their ideas to their Chu family, maybe not just at the Chu family.
Chu Feng's thoughts turned so much, but he was trapped here now, and there was no way to deal with it at all.
There are many complicated people in the hall, probably because she is afraid of hooking up on both sides, Liu Kai took Yueluo out for interrogation, and when she was dragged out, she was still crying and shouting wronged.
Soon there was an earth-shattering cry from outside, accompanied by the sound of a cane, which made people break out in a cold sweat in the thin moonlit night.
The others stared at the ground, and no one dared to ask for a word, for fear of getting involved with the moonset, and even hoped that the moonfall would admit it, and they would survive this difficult moment.
……
When Rong Ruo came from the inner hall, he saw Chu Feng kneeling in the middle, changing his usual graceful and suave manners, and he was extremely depressed at this time, his long hair was blown on his shoulders by the wind, and his silver-gray robe was stained with residual flowers and dust, his head was half hung down, and his face was heavy.
Concubine Jin asked, and Rong Ruo replied: "The poison will not attack again within three days, but the Queen Mother will not be able to wake up, and if the antidote cannot be found after three days......"
But where is the antidote of Misty Lotus Powder so easy to get, unless it is a dead flower, it is only available in the Medicine King Valley.
The emperor's face was cold, and his eyes were cold, "Rong Ruo, you have no other way?" ”
Rong Ruo's eyes were half-drooping, her long eyelashes were covered, and her voice was a doctor's unique indifferent composure: "Unless you exchange blood." She said this method, but the emperor didn't trust it.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, Rong Ruo has seen too much, she will not stand by coldly if she can save it, but if she really can't save it...... After all, doctors are not immortals, who can guarantee that they will be able to save lives.
This kind of indifference to the sick is placed behind the compassion of the world, not because of the indifference of nature, but because of the impermanence of life and death.
"Father, there is something strange about the concubine." Liu Siyi's eyes flashed, and a touch of jealousy flashed in them, "Misty Lotus Scatter has long been extinct, and in the hands of the person who poisoned it, will there be an antidote?" ”
The words were addressed to the emperor, but her afterglow did not fall on Rong Ruo's side for a moment.
It's Rong Ruo, it's really Rong Ruo.
Liu Siyi didn't expect that she was still sitting next to her just now, obviously looking ordinary, and she used to mock the person who smiled Ruo, but it was still her.
It turned out that from beginning to end, it was her!
Chu Feng frowned, and had a premonition in his heart, as if he had fallen into a trap since he was drunk, and this trap was only now beginning to tighten.
At this time, a clear voice crossed over Chu Feng's head, and he heard the voice say clearly: "Your Majesty, the person who poisoned should be in this hall." ”
