The fire spread so quickly that everyone was so distracted by the fire that it took a long time to put it out.

The burned beams were still smoking, Zhong Xiaoshu was held in Yin Zhige's arms, she looked at the mess in front of her, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Everyone in the palace who participated in the firefighting was not spared, and they were covered with ashes.

Just when everyone was cleaning up the mess, a palace maid suddenly rushed in from outside.

The palace maid's face was full of anger.

Because the surroundings are still very chaotic, no one cares too much about this palace maid, just as if she has encountered something outside.

She pushed through the crowd and rushed straight to Yin Zhige and knelt down.

Such a sudden scene is really a little unresponsive.

"What's the matter?"

Yin Zhige didn't speak, and Xiao Dezi hurriedly took a step forward and asked.

The little palace maid glanced up at Zhong Xiaoshu, and then shifted her gaze back to Yin Zhige.

"The slave and maid came here at the risk of death today, just to warn Your Majesty, don't be blinded by monsters!"

"What do you mean by that, who is the monster?"

Yin Zhige frowned, the Taoist priest was invited by him, and the fire in Kunning Palace was also an accident, who was this palace maid referring to?

When the palace maid heard this, she raised her head and glanced at Zhong Xiaoshu again, "The monster is her!" ”

She stretched out her finger and pointed at Zhong Xiaoshu, and the scene instantly fell silent, and all that was left was the slight sound of the wind blowing.

Zhong Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, and the palace maid continued to look indignant.

"If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so many people in the palace dying one after another.

Coupled with the fire in Kunning Palace, this is clearly a demon girl who is causing trouble, with the intention of disrupting the palace!

God can't stand it anymore and wants to accept her! ”

Yin Zhige's throat slid up and down, and he sneered, "It's just nonsense!" ”

The Taoist priest was invited by him, and the reason why this fire burned was also because this Taoist priest had to practice in Kunning Palace.

According to this, he is also a monster?

Yin Zhige didn't believe the little palace maid's words at all, and ordered her to be arrested and imprisoned.

The Taoist priest also came out at this time and threw his hand at Yin Zhige.

"This girl is right, the saint must not be fascinated by monsters and lose his mind."

No one believed what the little palace maid said, but now it was the Taoist chief who Yin Zhige personally asked him to find, and the palace people around him lowered their heads in silence.

Yin Zhige is really going to be angry.

Zhong Xiaoshu realized that something was wrong, she stepped forward and pushed away the Taoist priest in front of her, glanced at the little palace maid, and pointed at the Taoist priest and scolded.

"You don't talk about it here, this palace never believes in any gods, ghosts and monsters.

If you insist on doing this, I have to peel a layer of skin off you! ”

It was the first time for her to ask such a fierce question, and the Taoist priest had never seen such a battle, and he couldn't answer for a while.

This time it was too blatant to target the coming, Zhong Xiaoshu suddenly had a conjecture in her heart, she looked at the Taoist priest on the ground.

"Say, who is the person behind you, and who made you do this!"

I didn't expect Zhong Xiaoshu to suddenly ask such a question, and the Taoist priest's pupils shrank.

It was originally a very subtle change, but it did not escape Zhong Xiaoshu's eyes.

Yin Zhige saw that Zhong Xiaoshu's expression was wrong, and he knew that there was a problem, and he immediately asked his subordinates to arrest the Taoist priest and the palace maid and send them to the prison.

"These things have happened recently, and Kunning Palace is now uninhabitable.

The defense will be weaker if you temporarily change to another palace, and I will arrange more secret guards to guard it, just in case. ”

He patted Zhong Xiaoshu's shoulder, but Zhong Xiaoshu's brows still didn't knot.

It is very likely that the previous remarks of the palace maid and the Taoist priest have left a question mark in the hearts of the palace people.

They don't understand why, and when they are led like this, it's very easy for them to think about something else.

First Xiao Huanxi was poisoned, then Xia Zhitao was imprisoned, and then Xia Zhitao was not guilty, the real murderer was a Weimo palace maid who was responsible for sprinkling and sweeping.

Now that a number of palace maids have died mysteriously, the saint has found the Taoist chief to come and do it, but the Kunning Palace has been set on fire.

In this way, public opinion will really have a bad impact on Zhong Xiaoshu.

The royal son of heaven, the most evil thing, if this is spread to the court, I don't know what those old ministers will say.

The pen and mouth of civil officials are the most murderous.

Although Yin Zhige didn't care about this, he had to be jealous, so this matter really couldn't be a big deal.

Zhong Xiaoshu also knows the pros and cons, but if she doesn't find out about this matter for a day, she won't be able to feel at ease for a day.

The enemy is hiding in the shadows, and he may jump out and stab her at any moment, and this kind of life is not easy at all.

Must check.

She withstood the pressure and was not prepared to settle the matter but continued to investigate.

The entry point was the people who were locked up in the prison, and she asked the jailer to interrogate the Taoist priest first.

This person is from the people, and he doesn't look like a person with backbone.

The jailer who specialized in interrogation also got the order, so he made a special effort.

It didn't take long for the Taoist priest to stand the beatings.

But after he admitted that he had been instructed by someone, he was silent for a while, and before the jailer could react, he bit his tongue and committed suicide.

This is not good news, Zhong Xiaoshu has not let go of his frowning brows after learning about it.

"Keep investigating, starting with his family, to find out who he has been in contact with recently."

Because of the suicide of the Taoist priest, Zhong Xiaoshu was a little upset, and even a little confused.

She remembered the police movies she often watched in modern times, and immediately asked people to squat.

On the other side, the investigators of the palace maid's death found something special by a well at the back door of the imperial dining room.

Looking at the little bit of black-green powder stained on the oil paper, Zhong Xiaoshu was not in a very good mood.

After the imperial doctor's examination, his face changed instantly, and he stumbled back two steps, pointing to the oiled paper in the dark guard's hand, his fingers trembling slightly.

"This, this is copper salt, this thing is poisonous!"

This result made Zhong Xiaoshu, who was already mentally prepared, still feel a little sore in his ears.

"What are copper salts?"

She looked at the Imperial Physician and asked in a dumb voice, and the Imperial Physician replied with a curled neck.

"Put the bronze with a patina in the water and heat it, and boil it for about an hour to get copper salt.

This substance is soluble in water, colorless and odorless, and only vomiting will occur when taken in small amounts.

Once taken in large quantities...... In less than a moment, he will die. ”

"Wechen had a little bit in his hand before, but this thing is too fierce, Wechen doesn't dare to use it easily, but, it's ......"

He glanced at Zhong Xiaoshu, who had an ugly face, and his voice became smaller and quieter.

"However, my unsuccessful apprentice accidentally scattered that thing a few days ago."
