The person who found the scorpion was Liu Zhaorong, and the person who placed the thing in the pharmacy was also Liu Zhaorong, and the antecedents were all revolving around her, this matter seemed to have obvious eyebrows to be found, in order to be absolutely cautious, Chu Zikai asked one more sentence clearly:

"The person guarding the scorpion cage in the pharmacy is the minions owned by the pharmacy, or is it Liu Zhaorong or the people sent by Concubine Liu's palace alone?"

Mama Chang pondered for a moment, and immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, as far as the slave maid knows, Liu Zhaorong and the concubine have a deep relationship with the concubine and the concubine, and whenever the concubine is sick, Liu Zhaorong is by her side to take care of her, and the people who are sent to the pharmacy to boil medicine are indeed people from Liu Zhaorong's own palace." ”

As soon as the words are explained, it seems that there is no doubt about it, Concubine Ling is suffering today, it seems to be confusing, it seems to be an accident, like a natural disaster, putting aside all kinds of entanglements, it is nothing more than two possibilities.

One possibility is that there is no mercy in the sky, it is really Concubine Ling's own fate that is not good and she has fallen into blood mold, and tonight she met this fate, which was destined to be inescapable, and it was a tragic accident.

The second possibility is that someone has already hidden his evil intentions and secretly used tricks to turn these scorpions into a bloodless knife, and brutally murdered her mother and son.

But no matter what the reason was, it was indeed because the scorpion bit Concubine Ling that caused her to be born prematurely and give birth to a stillborn baby. Regardless of whether she Liu Zhaorong is the one who hides evil intentions, first of all, the scorpion cage is under her full control, even if it is a moment of negligence and carelessness, the poisonous scorpion escapes from the cage and stings someone, or someone is controlled by someone and uses the scorpion to harm Concubine Ling. Concubine Ling lost her son, and she still has to take a responsibility.

The evidence is insufficient, and even the above speculations cannot be absolutely presumptuous, but as long as the scorpion that hurt people did run out of the cage, Liu Zhaorong is still the one who is responsible for the major mistakes in this matter, even if he only carries one charge of negligence. Chu Zikai immediately ordered:

"Feng Yun, you take someone and ask Liu Zhaorong to come over and ask questions."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to bother Feng Shiren, the concubine is already here......" Chu Zikai's voice had just fallen, and Feng Yun's knee, which was ready to kneel down to receive the order, was only half bent, but he saw that at this time, the people who were pointing at the four sides were in a hurry, Liu Zhaorong's footsteps were like the wind, and he entered the door with a flamboyant momentum, and as soon as his eyes found Chu Zikai, the first thing he did was to make a statement to clarify himself.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to see clearly, this scorpion used for medicinal materials is indeed found by the concubine for the concubine Niangniang, but the concubine sits upright, and her body is not afraid of the shadow, and she definitely has no bad intentions to harm people. When the concubine got the news, she knew that there were many people in the palace, and innocence would inevitably cause trouble, but the concubine was definitely not afraid of those unwarranted suspicions, and came to see His Majesty late at night, and brought these beasts who had caused trouble, so as to make clues to prove the innocence of the concubine. ”

Liu Zhaorong held his head high and walked steadily, said the words sonorously and forcefully as he walked, stood still in the middle of the courtyard of Jinghualou, turned around and ordered a large group of people to come in behind him. "Bring it up and show it to Your Majesty!"

A group of people entered in response, everyone looked up in horror, and sure enough, they all saw that each of them was holding a scorpion cage in their hands, vaguely through the iron sarong, and the terrible figures of those teeth and claws could be seen.

The palace maids kneeling at the bottom of the steps, who were a little less courageous, couldn't hold the etiquette, covered their ears and screamed, pulling each other and supporting each other to retreat, Feng Yun was also a little afraid, but he had to take out his identity as the chief of the chamberlain to stabilize the situation, and hurriedly waved the dust twice, pointed to the minions in the scorpion cage, and scolded:

"Little rabbit cubs, Your Majesty is here, and you have recklessly brought these harmful beasts, put them down immediately!"

There was chaos, there was a commotion everywhere, the group of servants didn't know who to listen to, and hurriedly wanted to put it on the ground, but one of them didn't hold it in his hand, and slammed the cage on the ground, with a sound, although the insects inside did not run out, it looked really scary, and the next second it caused a panic.

Knowing that Yu Zhao had always been afraid of those things, Chu Zikai hurriedly protected her behind him with one hand, took her back a few steps, frowned at Liu Zhaorong, and reprimanded, "This substance is poisonous and dangerous, you just put it in the pharmacy and cause trouble, and bring it over to do something, why don't you take it far!" ”

Liu Zhaorong stopped as he said, tilted his head slightly, looked at Yu Zhao who was shrinking behind Chu Zikai, a trace of contempt and resentment quickly flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and made a gesture to ask the palace people behind him to put the cage away. apologized: "It's the concubine who is reckless, I never thought that Concubine Yi's sister was also here, it doesn't matter, even if Your Majesty doesn't protect you, my sister is closer than you, if you want to hurt, you will hurt my sister first." ”

After saying a few words that were not salty or light, Liu Zhaorong ordered someone to bring fire to illuminate the pile of cages.

At a glance, everyone immediately noticed that something was wrong, and saw that the scorpion inside was still alive and vigorously waving its claws, facing the firelight, fearful but eager to try to compete with it. In stark contrast, there were many dead scorpion corpses hanging from the pores at the edge of the cage.

Half of the bodies of those dead scorpions were outside, half of their bodies were inside, and some of them were only half cut off, as if they had been torn off from them, and it was as if they had gone crazy for no reason, and they had to crawl out even if they didn't want to die, and they struggled so hard that they didn't care if they even tore off their own bodies, which was really strange.

Liu Zhaorong walked around the cage and continued to explain:

"This scorpion likes to go out at night, yes, but when it comes in autumn, it is not the season for them to be active, so even if you open the cage and catch them with your bare hands on weekdays, they may not be crazy and sting, so the concubines will put them in the pharmacy with such confidence. But now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the cage locked well, as if there is something outside to lure them into their madness, so that they give up their lives and want to get out of the cage to harm people. ”

Is it really a man-made disaster? Yu Zhao was flustered for no reason, remembering that there were those boiling rumors before as a foreshadowing, and he knew that even if he was innocent this time, he would be more or less suspicious, and he would definitely be contaminated. Chu Zikai was obviously aware of this, and immediately became cautious, and after thinking about it, he ordered:

"The Criminal Division took these scorpions away, carefully filed a case and investigated, Concubine Ling was weak after giving birth, it was getting late, it was really not appropriate to disturb her purity, this matter should not be publicized all over the city, I will do my best to investigate thoroughly, let's disperse first today."
