Chapter 717: Nothing to Gain
"Presumptuous! Who taught you to talk to the queen like this! ”
Before Zhong Xiaoshu could speak, Qing'er behind her saw the appearance of the palace maid, and immediately took a step forward and scolded fiercely.
Hearing this, the eyes of the palace maid who had a sarcastic face suddenly turned red.
She glared at Zhong Xiaoshu, gritting her teeth as if she was about to pounce on her and bite off a piece of flesh.
"It's all your own fault! You provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked, and you deserve to kill the people around you for you! ”
Zhong Xiaoshu frowned, she looked at the palace maid who suddenly became abnormal, and something seemed to flash in her mind.
But when she reacted and thought about it again, she didn't catch anything.
"What do you mean by that?"
She looked at the palace maid and asked, there were so many things in the palace maid's words that she couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
The palace maid sneered and spat at her, "Now you're starting to be scared?"
It's late! I tell you, as long as you live for one day, the people around you will die because of you, not even your children!
And each of them will be tortured before they die, and their liver and intestines will be broken and they will die! ”
She roared hysterically with red eyes and a vicious curse in her mouth.
Zhong Xiaoshu was so excited by these words that she gave the palace maid a slap without thinking about it.
The cursing stopped abruptly, and Zhong Xiaoshu looked at her coldly.
"Didn't you just want to provoke me and let me order you to be killed, but I wouldn't do what you wanted."
Zhong Xiaoshu's slap used full strength, and the palace maid's mind was clouded by the beating for a while, and a buzzing tinnitus sounded in her ears.
It took her head to hang down for a while before she recovered, and when she regained consciousness, the first thing she did was to pounce on Zhong Xiaoshu.
Fortunately, Xia Zhitao, who was behind Zhong Xiaoshu, was quick and kicked the person away with one kick, and Zhong Xiaoshu was so frightened that he took two steps back.
Xia Zhitao didn't have much strength, so he didn't kick people far, and in order to prevent a counterattack, the jailer behind him directly lifted the palace maid.
Zhong Xiaoshu looked at the palace maid who had fallen into a semi-comatose state and frowned.
"Knock her out and tie her up, remember to block her mouth to prevent herself from biting her tongue and committing suicide, she is still of some use for the time being."
There are no other clues, this palace maid is the only clue at present, useful things have not been dug up, and she can't be allowed to die like this.
The jailer had caused such a big disaster before, and at this moment, in order to please Zhong Xiaoshu, he immediately tied up the person with his hands and feet, and hung the person on the hanging beam neatly.
Zhong Xiaoshu nodded, and when he was about to leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and stopped again.
"Qing'er, let's search for anything useful on her first."
After a while, Qing'er had a small medicine bottle in her hand.
It contained a few small black pills, which didn't smell too much.
Zhong Xiaoshu took one and looked at it under the firelight, but he didn't see any doorway.
It's better to leave this kind of thing to a professional.
After the imperial doctor's examination, he said that it was a medicine that could confuse people's minds, and the medicinal properties were very domineering.
If the dose is larger, the person taking the drug will immediately become a fool.
Zhong Xiaoshu frowned, and immediately asked the imperial doctor to check the palace maid's body, and the result was as she thought, the palace maid had indeed taken this medicine.
This result is not good news for Zhong Xiaoshu, the palace maid went crazy because she took this pill.
But the palace maid is in the inner court, and there is no way to contact the outside of the palace, where did she get this medicine?
If this medicine does not come from outside the palace, does it mean that there are other people in the palace who also have this thing in their hands?
Zhong Xiaoshu shook his head and didn't dare to continue to think about it.
I'm afraid that this is already a chess game that has been arranged, and she, or Yin Zhige, has already become a chess piece on the chessboard.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her hands trembled unconsciously.
As soon as he didn't pay attention, the handkerchief he had been holding in his hand fell to the ground.
It is impossible to hide the matter of finding a doctor, and it can be said that the person outside is not very well, but this excuse does not work for Yin Zhige.
Zhong Xiaoshu told Yin Zhige truthfully, he was silent for a while after listening, and then sighed and took Zhong Xiaoshu into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, if it's really as you said, in order not to startle the snake, we can secretly investigate it first, and there should be some useful clues."
Zhong Xiaoshu nestled in Yin Zhige's arms and snorted.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and I don't know where the wind leaked.
The change in the inner palace actually reached the ears of an old minister, who had been in the court for twenty or thirty years, and he also knew in his heart that this matter was not easy to spread.
So he went to the imperial study alone to ask to see Yin Zhige.
"I heard that Your Majesty has been very worried about the affairs of the Middle Palace recently."
The first sentence of the old minister when he saw Yin Zhige went straight to the point, and when Yin Zhige heard him say this, his face was slightly stiff.
"Why did Song Qing say this?"
He asked with a smile, but the hand under his sleeve clenched into a fist slightly.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, this matter has not been spread, and Weichen only learned about it by accident, and he entered the palace as soon as he knew about it."
The old minister's beard was gray, and he lowered the corners of his eyes, looking upright.
"Wei Chen came here today with only one sentence to say to His Majesty."
After saying that, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Yin Zhige, who was sitting behind the bookcase.
"It's about the queen of the middle palace, this matter must be entrusted to Song Qing, and it can't be leaked."
Yin Zhige didn't want to listen to the old goblin's words, so he took the lead in opening his mouth and sealing his mouth.
The old minister paused, and he glanced at Yin Zhige with some astonishment.
His lips moved, and finally he bowed his head and said yes and left.
Although he warned verbally and the person agreed, Yin Zhige was still not at ease.
He sent a secret guard to keep an eye on the old minister, for fear that something would happen again.
The front side of Yin Zhige was tapped, and Zhong Xiaoshu also started to move.
She first made an excuse that there were many epidemics in spring, so she wanted to take advantage of the strong sun these days and ordered all the palace people to spare two days to take out their futons to dry.
And then the house or something to clean up and clean up.
Then arrange some more competent people to secretly see who is not right.
Although the palace people were puzzled, they also carried out the order and dried the quilt.
For a while, the scene was also a little hot, and the palace maids of the secret guards who mixed into the crowd were also quietly checking what was wrong.
It was unrealistic to check them one by one, so Zhong Xiaoshu took the roster and checked it to see if there was anything wrong.
But after three or four days of busy survival, there was no gain.
