Chapter 275: The princess is dead
After discussion, the competition was set for the second day, that is, the day when Bai Su sent the envoys out of the city. That's just right, she thought! It's just that before I had time to be melancholy, I heard a news from Cheng Chuyang in the evening: the Nanyue princess died for no reason at the Baiguan banquet, the embassy made a big banquet, and the day when the Nanyue envoys left Beijing was postponed.
Hearing the news, Cheng Xiangjin smiled very unkindly. She doesn't care if the Nanyue princess Shenma dies or not! What she cares more about is that she can have someone to eat with her!
Maybe her smile was too weird and dazzling, which made Cheng Chuyang, who came to share the news, a little confused!
What's wrong with my little sister lately? How did you hear that someone had died, and I was still smiling so happily? Xiaomei is not such a person, huh?
Cheng Chuyang was puzzled for a long time, and said secretly: It's terrible to go on like this, you have to let Xiaobai come over to treat her as soon as possible!
As soon as I was in a good mood, I became interested in the case.
"Did that Nanyue princess suddenly die suddenly because of a disease on weekdays?"
Cheng Chuyang saw that she was back to normal again, and his hanging heart quietly let go.
"It is said that it is not, since the princess of Nanyue came to Chang'an, she has been accompanied by people from the palace every day to go shopping, and she is a little happy to eat and play, and she is in good health."
"A person who is in good health suddenly dies violently at the banquet of hundreds of officials, could it be poisoning?"
"I hope it's not poisoning!"
"Huh? How so? ”
"After the incident, all the officials who attended the banquet were left in the palace. Whether it was poisoned or something else is now waiting for the imperial court to check it. Xiaobai is proficient in pharmacology, and now he is also checking the matter with relevant officials on the spot. In case it was poisoned, the palace personnel in charge of the banquet, as well as the officials who participated in the banquet, would inevitably be investigated. And the source of the poison also needs to be investigated. If he comes from the palace, Xiaobai will be guilty of negligence, and he will inevitably be implicated. If some officials are brought in from outside the palace, it has nothing to do with Xiaobai. ”
Listening to Cheng Chuyang's analysis, Cheng Xiangjin's mind instantly regained clarity. That's right, if it is really poisoned, there are many people involved in this case, not to mention who is poisoned, just by checking the source of the poison, you can convict several officials on the spot! Bai Su is one of them!
Woo woo woo ~ Now I can only do what my brother said, I hope it's not poisoning!
It's just that apart from poisoning, what else could make a person who is alive and kick suddenly die?
The deceased was a princess of Nanyue and had a noble status. Someone can't assassinate her at a banquet, right? That's in the palace! And it was under the noses of the emperor and the hundred officials. Who has that kind of skill and ability?
Besides, when the news is transmitted back to South Vietnam, I wonder how much storm it will cause? What was the murderer's motive?
What other purpose can the assassination of a princess achieve in addition to causing a dispute between the two countries?
Cheng Xiangjin was lying on the bed alone, thinking about the assassination of the Nanyue princess, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the murderer's purpose behind it was not simple! Especially thinking of Bai Su, who may be implicated, the whole person is not good, and there is no sleepiness at all!
Qiaohui, who was guarding outside, heard movement inside, and instantly sat up, "Girl, are you still worried about the case in the palace?" ”
Cheng Xiangjin nodded and sat down side by side with Qiaohui.
"My father has not returned to the palace now, and my grandmother and mother must be very worried. Inform Dunzi tomorrow that the guards in the house will try first, and wait for the matter to pass! ”
"Got it, girl."
