Before dinner time arrived, the news that Zuo Guifei was poisoned and assassinated spread throughout the palace.

But then it was crushed by another thing.

Cai Wei, the big palace maid next to the queen's mother, hanged herself in her own room.

Cai Wei's body had been taken away.

Lou Mingshu looked at it carefully, but it was obviously not hanged.

Yun Rong looked at his serious appearance and asked, "How can Master Lou be sure that she didn't hang herself?" ”

Lou Mingshu raised his head and glanced at her, and said: "For normal self-hanged people, the mark of the rope on the neck will extend to the position behind the ear, and there are two marks on Cai Wei's neck, and the middle part of the two marks intersects, but the color at the bottom is darker, and it only reaches the back of the neck, not behind the ear, this is the mark of being strangled, and the other color is light and wrapped around the ear, which is obviously carried up after her death." ”

After speaking, he looked down at the height of the stool under the rope again, and continued: "Moreover, when I came here just now, I found that this stool did not fall, generally speaking, people who hang themselves will knock over the stool under their feet at the moment of hanging, so that they can hang themselves, but the stool here is well placed here." ”

Yun Rong looked at where he said.

I saw a small round stool right there.

After Lou Mingshu took a closer look inside the house, he walked out.

Yun Rong followed: "Where is Lord Lou going?" ”

Lou Mingshu turned around and glanced at her, and said, "The affairs in the palace must be revealed to Your Majesty, not to mention that Cai Wei is also involved in the poisoning of Zuo Guifei." ”

Yun Rong stopped and didn't follow any further.

Lou Ming took a few steps, stopped again, and turned his head to look at her with some doubts: "Why don't you leave?" ”

"Didn't Lord Lou go to see Your Majesty? I don't have to follow, do I? ”

Lou Mingshu glanced at her with a strange expression and said, "Miss Yun is assisting, why don't you go?" ”

Belch......

Yun Rong was stunned for a moment.

Isn't her assistance nominal? It's not really helping.

There are some things that are good to turn a blind eye.

She thought so, but Lou Mingshu obviously didn't think so, he looked at Yun Rong, and there was a big meaning that if she didn't follow, he wouldn't leave.

Yun Rong had no choice but to follow.

The Holy Emperor has passed the age of his establishment, but he is well maintained, and he looks not much older than Lou Mingshu.

He sat on the top, and under his hand was one book after another.

Whether it was in a previous life or in this life, Yun Rong was the first time to watch the Holy Emperor so closely.

He lowered his head and read the recital, while listening to Lou Mingshu's words.

From time to time, I should make two sounds, and when I encounter something in doubt, I will raise my head and ask a few words.

Lou Mingshu answered them one by one.

Yun Rong looked at him, overlapping with the person in his mind twelve years ago.

The Saint Emperor noticed her gaze and turned his head and asked, "What does the Yun Medical Envoy think?" ”

Yun Rong was immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't react for a while.

It wasn't until Lou Ming touched her that she came back to her senses: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Lou is the presiding judge of the case, of course, he finds out who it is, it is who." ”

She bowed her head with her hands bowed, the Holy Emperor's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she turned her head to Lou Ming and said, "Is there any evidence?" ”

Lou Mingshu hurriedly took out something from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is the meal list drawn up by the queen's mother that day, and Weichen searched it out in Ying Dong's room." ”

Should it be winter?

When Yun Rong heard this, she looked up at Lou Mingshu.

At this time, Lou Mingshu also looked at her.

Eyes collided, and Lou Ming hooked his lips.

He handed over the list, but the Holy Emperor did not accept it.

At this moment, a waiter hurriedly came: "Your Majesty, the concubine is awake." ”

When the Holy Emperor heard this, he put down his pen and stood up from the chair and said directly: "Swing and go to the concubine." ”

The waiter replied and hurriedly went out.

Zuo Guifei has woken up, but in the end she almost died, and she still looks very weak.

Seeing the Holy Emperor coming, she bowed slightly and struggled to get off the couch.

Before he moved, he was held by the Holy Emperor: "You are sick, so these false gifts will be waived for the time being." ”

Zuo Guifei smiled and said gently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." ”

The Holy Emperor didn't speak, and sat down next to Concubine Zuo.

Lou Mingshu stepped forward and arched his hand: "Niangniang, about your poisoning, the minister still has something to ask Niangniang, and please tell Niangniang truthfully." ”

Concubine Zuo glanced at the Holy Emperor and smiled, "Lord Lou, may I ask." ”

Lou Ming said: "Who brought you the bowl of soup that Niangniang drank before going to the banquet?" ”

Zuo Guifei twisted her eyebrows and thought for a while: "It's Ying Xue." ”

Lou Mingshu nodded slightly, and said, "Can that lady retell the scene at that time?" ”

Zuo Guifei coughed lightly twice, and then frowned and said: "This morning, the palace has a bad appetite, didn't use breakfast, near noon, Ying Xue brought a bowl of soup over, saying that it was sent from the kitchen, the palace was also a little hungry at the time, smelling that the soup tasted very fragrant, so he drank a few sips, and then went to the queen's mother, and then the later things, Lord Lou should be clear." ”

Lou Mingshu arched his hand: "There is Lao Niangniang." ”

Zuo Guifei bowed her head and didn't speak again.

At this moment, Yun Rong, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke: "May I ask where Niangniang is from?" ”

Zuo Guifei raised her head and looked at her, a little puzzled.

Lou Ming hurriedly explained: "Niangniang, she is the Yun Doctor, Your Majesty has a will, and the Yun Doctor is to assist in the poisoning of Niangniang." ”

Hearing her say this, Concubine Zuo was surprised, and then replied: "The ancestral home of this palace is in Liaocheng, but I grew up in Rongcheng since I was a child. ”

Yun Rong nodded and didn't say anything more.

Lou Mingshu glanced at her and asked quietly, "Did you find something?" ”

Yun Rong shook her head: "I can't say what I found, but I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Lou Mingshu asked again: "What's wrong?" ”

Yun Rong frowned: "Now almost all the evidence points to Concubine Deng Shu, but I remember that Concubine Deng seems to be from Bingcheng." ”

Lou Mingshu thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood.

He glanced at Yun Rong and said, "Who do you think is the most likely?" ”

Yun Rong shook her head and said, "Let me think about it again." ”

Lou Ming was speechless, and then arched his hand: "Your Majesty, regarding the poisoning of the noble concubine, the minister has found some clues. ”

Although he had communicated with the Holy Emperor in advance, he still had to go through the motions.

He told the evidence to the object of suspicion, and the Holy Emperor immediately summoned Concubine Deng Shu over.

Concubine Deng Shu's face was white, and she knelt down as soon as she saw the Holy Emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged." ”

Then he said: "The concubine doesn't know that the white orchid and the almond are mutually reinforcing, so how can she use this to harm Sister Zuo." ”

The Holy Emperor pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lou Mingshu arched his hand towards Concubine Deng Shu and said, "May I ask Concubine Shuniang, Cai Wei next to the queen's mother, can you know it?" ”

Concubine Deng Shufei's crying stopped abruptly, she raised her head and looked at Lou Mingshu, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Lou Mingshu did not urge.

After a long while, I finally heard her bite her lip and say, "Cai Wei is a fellow villager of this palace and a childhood playmate. ”

After she finished speaking, she was in a hurry and hurriedly said: "But, Your Majesty, you believe in the concubine, the concubine doesn't even dare to step on an ant on weekdays, how can she assassinate Sister Zuo." ”

Concubine Deng Shufei was extremely defensive, but in front of the evidence, these justifications seemed a little pale.

On the bed, Zuo Guifei looked at Concubine Deng Shu with a painful look on her face: "Sister Shufei, I asked myself that I have never blushed with you in the palace for so many years, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious." ”

Concubine Deng Shufei shook her head and cried desolately: "Sister Zuo, it's really not me, you believe me." ”

Yun Rong stood in the back, listening to the words of the two like a transparent person.

inadvertently caught Zuo Guifei's inadvertent sneer.

Lou Mingshu arched his hand and said: "Concubine Niangniang, do you know this bracelet?" ”

Concubine Deng looked up, a turquoise floating flower bracelet was in excellent condition.

Apparently the one she wears regularly.

She touched her empty wrist and said stubbornly, "This is from the palace." ”

Lou Mingshu nodded, and said, "This was found in Ying Dong's residence." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Deng collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.

And at this time, the queen, who had not spoken, opened her mouth: "Concubine Deng Shu, it's a shame that this palace still thinks you are a sensible person on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious." ”

After speaking, she blessed the Holy Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, although Concubine Deng Shu made a mistake, we are still in the palace at this time, why don't we wait until we return to the palace and then punish us?" ”

The Saint Emperor nodded, and was about to speak.

Yun Rong suddenly opened her mouth: "Your Majesty, this matter is not right. ”

The Saint Emperor looked at her, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yun Rong glanced at Concubine Deng Shu and said, "Concubine Deng Shu grew up in the ice city, the place is cold, and the white orchid likes warm and humid weather, so she can't live at all on Concubine Deng Shu's side, so she said that she didn't know that the two mixtures would be poisoned, which is credible." ”

The Holy Emperor looked at her and said, "But this doesn't prove anything. ”

Yun Rong nodded, and said: "But contrary to Concubine Deng Shu, Zuo Guifei Niangniang grew up in Rongcheng, and there are many white orchids in Rongcheng, and the two can't eat together, so you should know it since you were a child." ”

Hearing her words, Zuo Guifei's face changed suddenly, she looked at Yun Rong, as if she couldn't breathe, and said directly: "Doctor Yun, right?" Are you saying that this palace itself poisoned itself? ”

Yun Rong arched her hand and said busily: "Yun Rong doesn't dare." ”

Then he said: "But Niangniang, when the minister came over today, I saw that there is no such thing as a white orchid in the palace, and the only one is the one you have here, and the flowers on it, the minister has seen it, and it is obvious that two have been removed." ”

Zuo Guifei looked at her and said calmly: "The flowers will definitely be thanked when they bloom, and if they are thanked, they will fall naturally, what's so strange about this?" ”

Yun Rong smiled and said, "This is nothing strange, but Niangniang, can you explain what happened to the injury on Ying Dong's hand?" ”

Just now she saw the scratches on Ying Dong's hands.

When her words fell, Ying Dong, who was standing aside, panicked and quickly hid his hand behind his back.
