Chapter 43: The Queen Mother is poisoned

The wind inside the palace walls was filled with thick blood.

Ming Ran was dressed in a cloud brocade palace dress, her skirt was blown by the wind, she stood in front of the corridor by the railing, looking at the dark clouds in the sky.

King Run, defeated.

An Xuqiao, missing.

Princess Run and An Lanwei were imprisoned in the palace.

Settle down with the clan, put the family in prison, and ask for beheading one day.

In addition to holding heavy troops, the An family has never exceeded the rules. But the palace that has been attacked for generations for a hundred years was raided and wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The founding fathers still ended up like this, so what about the Mu family who are now in power?

Xiao Yiqian got his wish and got the military power in the hands of King Run.

In today's Celestial Empire, in addition to the military power that Xiao Yiqian just took back in his hands and the Texas Army in Xiao Yichen's hands, there are only the Siege Army and the Forbidden Army in the hands of the Mu family.

Ming Ran couldn't help but be secretly afraid in his heart, will the Mu family become the next home?

"County Lord, Lan Ling went to Runwang's Mansion and didn't find Su Shenxin." Fuyue walked behind Ming Ran and whispered the news brought in from outside the palace.

Ming Ran sighed softly, "That's it, the people in the An family have been imprisoned, and she must have left." ”

Fuyue looked around, took a step closer, and said in Mingran's ear: "County Lord, I heard that the father and son of the Su family are going to be released." ”

She looked back in amazement, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Why did the Runwang Mansion fall, and the Su family's father and son would be fine? Wasn't the Su family a house that was raided because of selling salt?

"An Xuqiao's whereabouts, can you find out?"

Fuyue frowned and shook her head.

Now that An Xuqiao is wanted, and all states and cities are plastered with his notices, he will definitely not show up easily.

Fuyue suddenly remembered something, and said: "County Lord, when the Runwang Mansion was raided, all the treasures in the palace were gone, and the palace was not found to be of any value. ”

Ming Ran pondered for a long time and said, "Could it be that King Run has already transferred?" ”

If King Run knew how to transfer his belongings in advance, perhaps he would have expected that there would be today, so it seems that he had already found a hiding place for him by rescuing An Xuqiao before he started his army.

Since King Run is not foolproof about this rebellion, why should he be desperate? Is it because he was forced by Xiao Yiqian to retreat?

A palace maid walked through the corridor and ran to Ming Ran, panting and said, "County Lord, the Queen Mother is awake." ”

Ming Ran was overjoyed, and ran towards the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The Queen Mother has been in a coma for five days, and she will wake up from time to time halfway, unable to say two words, and will soon fall into a coma again.

It is nothing more than that he has never seen the poison in the Queen Mother, and he must find out what the poison is as soon as possible before he can call out the antidote.

But five or six days passed, and nothing was found. And the Queen Mother is always in a coma at present, which is extremely unfavorable to her phoenix body.

Ming Ran ran into the house in one breath and lifted the bead curtain in the inner room.

Xiao Yiqian and nothing more than turned back at the same time.

Ming Ran walked to the couch and saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were closed and she had not woken up.

She frowned and looked at nothing more than that.

"I fell asleep again." said helplessly, and continued to observe the symptoms of the queen mother's body by the couch.

Ming Ran was disappointed, and with heavy steps, he walked to the soft couch outside and sat down.

She lay sullenly on the small square table of Nanmu, staring at the corner of the table with a stupid gaze.

Xiao Yiqian walked lightly to her and asked softly, "Tired?" ”

Ming Ran immediately sat up straight, glanced at him, and shook his head gloomily.

"You've lost a lot, and you've worked hard these days." He looked at Ming Ran with gentle eyes, and a trace of distress swelled in his eyes.

"It's not hard to take care of my aunt." She hung her head and spoke weakly.

"The queen mother has its own celestial phenomena, don't worry too much, I will go back to Chonghua Palace first."

Xiao Yiqian got up from the couch, walked to Mingran and paused, and said, "Don't be too tired." ”

Mingran looked up at him and nodded.

Xiao Yiqian saw that her complexion had eased a lot, the corners of her cold lips loosened slightly, raised a faint smile, and strode away.

"County Lord, in fact, you don't have to serve by the Queen Mother's side every day, after all, you have just recovered, and if you continue like this, it will not be good for your body."

It's nothing more than walking up to Mingran, seeing her pale face, and kindly reminding.

Ming Ran smiled gratefully, "It's nothing more than sir, you know a lot of poison, can't you really recognize the poison in your aunt?" ”

With a sigh, he walked to the door of the room, looked outside the house, and said: "Although there are countless poisons in the lower part, the poison in the Queen Mother this time is indeed unheard of, but ......"

Ming Ran suddenly got up from the soft couch and strode behind him, "But what? ”

Just looked back at her, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he stopped talking.

"But what?" Mingran asked in an aggravated tone, frowning at him.

It was nothing more than her forced question, "According to what I can see, the poison in the Queen Mother may come from a foreign country?" ”

"Gentiles? Jiang Guo? ”

It was nothing more than a nod, and said: "Jiang Guo naturally did not dare to poison the Queen Mother, which means that the poison originated from Jiang Guo." ”

"Can you tell the emperor?"

"I haven't told you, but it's just speculation."

Ming Ran was puzzled and asked, "Then why did you send someone to Jiangguo to ask for verification?" ”

He shook his head, "It's too far to go, it's too late." ”

"It's impossible for the person who poisoned him to leave no trace." Ming Ran muttered softly, and walked to the queen mother's bed with casual steps.

That day, Ming Ran was in a bad mood, and after receiving the holy decree, he went to the pavilion behind the garden alone, and Mrs. Ming was always with the Queen Mother that day.

But the people who got close to the Queen Mother that day have all been detained and interrogated, and they have no clue at all.

It is not easy to poison the Queen Mother without a trace.

Aunt Zhu walked in with a tray.

Ming Ran sat on the stool in front of the couch, "Aunt Zhu, if you think about it carefully, you really can't remember any suspicious people that day?" ”

Aunt Zhu lowered her head and thought about it, and said after a long time: "The people who came to ask the Queen Mother for peace that day were all officials, and they didn't really come to the Queen Mother, they all stood in the hall and said a few words to the Queen Mother, and then left. ”

She paused, thought for a while, and said, "But that day, the Queen Mother led someone." ”

"Who?"

"Daughter of Luamber."

"Guo Yuxi?"

Aunt Zhu nodded, "That day, the Queen Mother pulled her to her and seemed to say a few words. ”

Ming Ran lowered his head and pondered, Guo Yuxi was suddenly summoned by the Queen Mother that day, and he didn't know about it before, and the person who poisoned him has not left the slightest flaw so far, which means that this matter cannot be a temporary intention, it must be carefully planned.

"County lord, that day, the slave maid reported the matter to Commander Mu, presumably Commander Mu is already investigating."

"You didn't leave your aunt that day?"

Aunt Zhu shook her head, "At that time, someone suddenly came to report that someone had fallen into the water in the garden, so the Queen Mother ordered the slave maid to take a look. ”

Mingran got up from the stool, bowed his head and thought for a long time, then strode out.
