Chapter 222: The Death of the Concubine
"There is nothing in this world that can make Prince Ben afraid." Ouyang Yixuan paused for a moment and glanced at Feng Ruoxi deeply, "Except for you and Feng Ziqi." β
Feng Ruoxi's expression stiffened slightly, he cared about Feng Ziqi being normal, and he wanted to bring himself for Mao? And what does that meaningful glance mean?
Ouyang Yixuan put his hands behind his back, his long body was jade, and he was extremely handsome: "This prince will send someone to do it, you can wait for news in the mansion." β
β¦β¦
"Oh no, lord! Oh no! Rajah! β
A subordinate was pale, and he hurriedly rushed to King Xuan's courtyard.
"Stop!" Two guards stopped him.
"Quickly inform Lord Xuan, the slave has something urgent to report."
"What's the noise outside?"
In the courtyard, the door opened from the inside, and Dongfang Shuo, who was dressed in a blue suit, walked out with calm steps.
As soon as the subordinates who were blocked out saw him, they immediately fell down and shouted: "Oh no, the princess, the queen has gone." β
Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? β
"What the minion said is true, mother...... The mother is really gone. β
Dongfang Shuo's face was pale, he rushed to him, and picked up the subordinate who was kneeling on the ground: "Make it clear to Prince Ben, the mother is so good to stay in the Frost Palace, how can it be gone?" β
"The minion is just a messenger, and I don't know the specifics."
Dongfang Shuo threw him away and strode out.
"Prince! Prince!! β
Others rushed after him.
"Your Highness, ...... are you" Feng Ruoqin came out to relax, and happened to meet him.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dongfang Shuo: "The mother concubine has passed away, there must be something strange about this matter, you immediately follow the prince into the palace to have a look." β
Feng Ruoqin was shocked when she heard this, her mother died?
She didn't dare to delay, carried her skirt, and hurriedly followed Dongfang Shuo.
Dongfang Shuo rushed to the stable, led a horse, and rode away.
Feng Ruoqin also jumped on the horseback with her skirt and followed closely behind.
When the two arrived at the Frost Palace, they found that there were many palace maids and eunuchs guarding the palace.
Emperor Liuyun also came.
Dongfang Shuo saw this battle, and his heart sank.
The father came to the cold palace, and the news was not far from ten.
Before he reached the main hall, he heard the angry roar of Emperor Liuyun coming from inside: "Say, which of you poisoned the concubine!" β
"Father!" Dongfang Shuo walked in and saw several palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in the dormitory.
These Dongfang Shuo knew each other, and they were all Xiao Guifei's henchmen, because they lived in the cold palace, the number of people who served them naturally could not be compared with when they were still concubines in the past.
"Shuo'er, you...... Come on. Emperor Liuyun saw Dongfang Shuo, his expression was a little strange.
Dongfang Shuo should still be grounded at home at this time, but now that Concubine Xiao has passed away suddenly, King Xuan has appeared here, and Emperor Liuyun can't say anything.
Dongfang Shuo only glanced at everyone in a hurry, nodded at Emperor Liuyun, and quickly walked to the bedside, seeing Xiao Guifei lying on the bed with a pale face and a silent face, the blood in Dongfang Shuo's body seemed to have coagulated all of a sudden.
"Mother?" Feng Ruoqin covered her mouth and exclaimed, with an overly frightened expression.
Dongfang Shuo woke up in shock, stretched out his hand stiffly, and slowly probed under Xiao Guifei's nose, followed by a violent tremble, his pupils dilated, his face showed a look of shock, and he couldn't help but take a step back, his body shaking.
"Mother, who harmed you?" Feng Ruoqin shouted, her face showing pathos, and her brain spun rapidly.
Recently, the prince was grounded by the saint, and he hid in the room every day, and he didn't see her much, let alone Feng Ruoxi, and she was not allowed to go to Feng Ruoxi's trouble.
Although she can't leave the house, she has her own gossip.
I've heard too much about Feng Ruoxi during this time.
Feng Ruoxi not only lived in the Yu Palace, but his son was also named the little son of the Yu Palace, and he will inherit the title of the prince in the future. What made her even more jealous was that Prince Yu, who had never been close to women, treated Feng Ruoxi differently, smiled for Pomeranian, and spent a lot of money at the auction.
Compared with himself, he couldn't get out of the door, his biological mother was abandoned by his father, and Prince Xuan, who was the most promising to get the position of prince, was also framed by Feng Ruoxi and was punished by the saint and thought about it behind closed doors.
Every day in King Xuan's Mansion was a huge ordeal for her.
Finally, now is the opportunity.
murdered the concubine, even if it is Feng Ruoxi, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear this crime.
Just in an instant, Feng Ruoqin thought of placing the cause of Concubine Xiao's death on Feng Ruoxi's head, regardless of whether Feng Ruoxi did it or not.
Dongfang Shuo's eyes moved, his tearful eyes shot a fierce light, and he turned around violently, his eyes glared viciously at the palace maid and eunuch kneeling on the ground like an enraged beast: "The mother concubine is so dignified, how could she suddenly die violently?" β
Several palace maids trembled and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The slave (slave) doesn't know, ask King Xuan to see it." β
"You are the palace people who are waiting for the concubine by her side, why did she die, you don't know? Do you really not know, or is the murderer actually you? Dongfang Shuo's gaze slowly swept over every palace person like a sharp blade.
Hearing his words, the palace people turned pale with fright and shouted that they had been wronged.
"As a personal palace attendant, but you can't even take care of your master, what's the use of keeping you? Come on, drag them down and kill them with a rod! "With the emperor here, these words are not Dongfang Shuo's turn to speak, but if he wants to say it, Emperor Liuyun didn't interrupt it.
Immediately, guards rushed in from outside and dragged the palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground out.
"King Xuan spares his life, the emperor spares his life......"
One of the palace maids said sharply: "King Huixuan, she was fine when the slave maid served Niangniang in the morning, but after a nap, the slave maid came to call Niangniang, and Niangniang went." β
Dongfang Shuo asked the guards to withdraw first, and strode in front of the palace maid who explained.
"Be clear." He stared at the palace maid and said, this palace maid is the big palace maid Xiangying next to the mother concubine, and she is also the right-hand man of the mother concubine, Dongfang Shuo has some impressions of her.
Xiangying knelt on the ground and said: "His Royal Highness King Xuan, the slave maid has been serving Niangniang wholeheartedly, although she is in the cold palace, but Niangniang pays great attention to the maintenance of her body, and she has not even suffered from the cold. In the morning, the mother also talked and laughed with the slave maid, and at noon the mother was tired, so she retired the slave and the maid and others. Niangniang has the habit of taking a lunch break, and she usually wakes up after sleeping for half an hour. But this time, I slept for an hour and didn't hear the mother call the slave maid, so the slave maid went into the dormitory to take a look, who knows...... Unbeknownst to him, he saw Niangniang lying on the bed unconsciously, with blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. β
"I have just asked the imperial doctor to check, and Concubine Xiao Guifei died of poisoning." Emperor Liuyun spoke.
When Dongfang Shuo heard this, Huo Ran opened his eyes and looked at the imperial doctor who was following Emperor Liuyun: "Imperial Doctor Zhou, where can you find the poison hidden in the house?" β
Imperial Physician Zhou shook his head: "Xia Guan hasn't found out yet." β
Dongfang Shuo suppressed his anger and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhou didn't find anything? β
Xia Guan found that the poison in Niangniang's body was not an acute poison, but a chronic poison, and the person who wanted to poison her wanted to cause the illusion of Niangniang's illness and death. I don't know why it suddenly became poisonous again. β
Click!
Dongfang Shuo clenched his fists tightly, and the bone joints made a crisp sound. Good Chinese
"Chronic poison? It's really deliberate! His gaze swept coldly towards the palace people in the Frost Palace, his face was full of anger, and when he stared at him, the palace people were almost frightened.
"Search, see who is hiding poison!"
When the guards outside heard the order, they immediately rushed into the other rooms to search.
Feng Ruoqin stood behind Dongfang Shuo, as if she was talking to Dongfang Shuo, and also to Emperor Liuyun: "Who else wants to harm the concubine?" Hasn't the prince thought of it? β
Dongfang Shuo's eyes flickered, and Feng Ruoxi's face flickered in his mind, and anger immediately filled his entire face: "Yan! Angelica! Maple! β
When Emperor Liuyun heard this, he was surprised and said, "Why did Shuo'er say this? β
Feng Ruoqin suddenly knelt on the ground, her eyes were red, and she said sadly: "Although the mother concubine is a little proud, she has never had a deep grudge against others, except for Feng Ruoxi. Father, Feng Ruoxi is Erchen's sister, Erchen knows very well, she has been ruthless since she was a child, and she can hold a grudge for a long time if she has a little grudge. It's just that the daughter-in-law didn't expect that after she had harmed her mother and was demoted to the cold palace, she didn't stop and poisoned her mother, her heart was too sinister! β
Emperor Liuyun's eyes rose and fell when he heard this, which was the same as Dongfang Shuo's eyes: "Is she really so vicious?" β
"The retainers don't dare to deceive." Feng Ruoqin's eyes widened, looking extremely sincere.
Emperor Liuyun just wanted people to arrest Feng Ruoxi into the palace, but suddenly thought that Feng Ruoxi and King Yu were very close, and the palace of King Yu was robbed recently, so the Yan family had time to deal with Xiao Guifei?
"Back to the emperor, I found this in an ear room on the left."
A guard rushed in, offering a paper bag in both hands.
Imperial Physician Zhou stepped forward, took it from the other party's hand, opened the paper packet, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then his spirit was shocked, and he looked at Emperor Liuyun: "Back to the emperor, it is this poison in the mother." β
Emperor Liuyun was furious: "Whose room did you search it from?" β
His majestic and angry gaze shot at the few palace people who were kneeling on the ground.
The palace people kowtowed one after another, indicating that it was not themselves.
"May I ask where did you find it in the first transept on the left?" Xiangying asked.
"The second room."
Xiangying said to Emperor Liuyun: "Your Majesty, the second room is vanilla, pandan and fragrant plum. β
The three vanilla immediately shook their heads, denying that it was their own.
"Commander Han, take them all down and torture them to extract confessions!" Emperor Liuyun said angrily.
At this moment, a palace maid who was kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up and rushed towards the red column not far away.
Emperor Liuyun hurriedly said, "Stop her!" β
Dongfang Shuo took matters into his own hands, flew forward, and kicked her down.
The Han commander quickly subdued him.
Dongfang Shuo stared coldly at this palace maid, if the eye knife could kill, the palace maid had been cut by a thousand knives.
"Who told you to poison your mother?"
"She's vanilla." Xiangying said, "I am usually responsible for the diet of the mother. β
A hint of discoloration flashed in Vanilla's eyes, and when Dongfang Shuo discovered it, he quickly pinched Vanilla's cheeks and removed her chin to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide.
"Father, this palace maid is extremely cunning, please allow the retainers to interrogate herself."
Emperor Liuyun nodded.
Under Dongfang Shuo's torture, Vanilla finally couldn't hold back and said the master behind the scenes: "Yes...... It's Miss Yan. β
"Sure enough, it's her!" Although Feng Ruoqin guessed that it might be Feng Ruoxi, she was still a little surprised when she heard Vanilla's answer.
When Emperor Liuyun heard the answer, he was even more furious, and shouted loudly: "Come on, grab Feng Ruoxi and bring him into the palace!" β
Dongfang Shuo vented all his anger on his feet and kicked the vanilla out with one kick.
"Feng Ruoxi, the revenge of killing your mother, this prince will never let you go!"
β¦β¦
East Palace.
The prince and the unintentional Taoist sit on one side, and there is a table and a chessboard between the two, the prince holds the white son, and the unintentional Taoist holds the black child.
Bai Zi was sandwiched between two slender and white fingertips, and slowly landed on the chessboard, and the prince smiled slightly: "What does the Taoist think of this palace's chess?" β
"It's wonderful, I have to bow down to the Taoist." Wuxin Dao people know that the chess he is talking about is not just the chess that the two are playing.
The mighty will not be confined to a small game of chess.
This prince's ambition is not small.
Of course, if it is more ambitious, there is a greater one.
The prince didn't know what the Taoist thought, he put down the other chess piece, and smiled: "Accept." β
"Compared with scheming, you can never compare to the prince." The Heartless Daoist sighed helplessly.
"Each has its own strengths." The prince stood up and flicked his sleeves, "The bleak cold palace is so lively for the first time, how can this palace miss a good show, and the Taoist is willing to go with it?" β
"I'm a Taoist priest, so I won't join in the fun." The Heartless Daoist stood up, bowed to him, and watched the prince leave.
"Didn't succeed?" Feng Ruoxi looked sideways at Ouyang Yixuan, frowning slightly.
"Someone started before we did. As expected, it should be the one in the East Palace. Ouyang Yixuan said lightly.
When Feng Ruoxi heard this, he sneered: "The prince's methods are really endless, and what we just thought of was immediately used by him first." If we hadn't already determined that the poison on Feng Ziqi's body was his hands and feet, I am afraid that at this time, all the anger and hatred would fall on King Xuan's head, and King Xuan would definitely lose his mind because of the death of Concubine Xiao. Both parties have lost their minds because of the victimization of their close relatives, and the results can be imagined. β
Even if she didn't know the current situation in the palace, she knew that the prince would definitely try to make herself carry the black pot.
"For so many years, the prince has been hiding too deeply. Who would have thought that the ordinary prince would be a far-sighted guy. Ouyang Yixuan lowered his head and looked at her, "There will be a storm next, are you afraid?" β
"Afraid?" Feng Ruoxi sneered, "Let the storm come more violently!" β
Originally, she had to do it herself, but now the prince can't wait to help, but he helped her, and she has to "thank" him.
"Newspaperβ"
There was a long announcement from outside.
The two walked outside.
"The Holy One ordered that Miss Feng Ruoxi was suspected of murdering Concubine Xiao Guifei and was immediately escorted to the palace for interrogation." The one who came to catch people was the number one master of the palace, Han Tong.
Two teams of guards rushed out from behind him and surrounded Feng Ruoxi.
"Mother!" A weak and immature child's voice came from behind him.
Feng Ruoxi turned her head and saw Feng Ziqi wearing a white middle coat being carried out by the nightingale, and her big eyes looked at the scene outside the house in disbelief.
"Awake? Does your stomach still hurt? Feng Ruoxi hooked her lips and showed a bright and warm smile.
"Boom!" As soon as she moved, the guards drew their swords and faced each other.
