Chapter 85: Who Poisoned
"Father, mother!"
Jing Yuan entered the door, hurriedly saluted the emperor, and said anxiously: "How is the prince's brother?" I just listened to the palace people's reply, it seems that he was poisoned? ”
Raising his eyes to look at the bed, he saw Chu Lingyu's face pale, his eyes closed, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Chu Aotian's face was as black as ink, his hands were clenched into fists, and he couldn't wait to shatter the void with one punch, while the queen was holding Chu Lingyu's hand on the side of the bed, her eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn't stop crying.
"I heard that you went out of the palace with your prince brother today?"
After being silent for a long time, Chu Aotian suddenly spoke, but this opening made Jing Yuan's heart feel cold again.
"Back to my father, exactly."
Jing Yuan pursed his lips and knelt on the ground all of a sudden: "But the place where Jing Yuan and the prince's brother went is absolutely safe, and they didn't eat anything indiscriminately, father, this matter must be someone in the palace who wants to poison the prince's brother, please father!" ”
"But the palace people said that after your prince's brother came back, he took a small medicine bottle, and also took the medicine with rice wine, and then he had abdominal pain and vomited a mouthful of blood!"
The expression on Chu Aotian's face suddenly sharpened: "Where did you go today, and who you met, don't tell them one by one!" ”
"This ......"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "That medicine was developed by a divine doctor, if my father doubts that medicine, I remember that there is still a surplus in the bottle, and my father can let the imperial doctors test it!" ”
"It's up to you to say that!"
Chu Aotian suddenly raised his voice, and the whole person was like a manic lion, and shouted: "The imperial doctors have been testing it for a long time, and they don't know what it is!" I can't even be sure of one of the medicines! ”
"The emperor is angry!"
Seeing this, the queen on the side was also taken aback, and hurriedly knelt in front of Chu Aotian, and said eagerly: "Jingyuan is still young, how do you know that people's hearts are sinister?" The emperor must not blame Jing Yuan, even Yu'er is defenseless, how can Jing Yuan see through the tricks of others? ”
After a pause, without waiting for Chu Aotian to say anything, the queen persuaded Jing Yuan bitterly: "Just say everything you know, right now your prince brother is unconscious and is suffering greatly, if you can't find the so-called miracle doctor in your mouth, is it possible that you want to watch your prince brother feel so uncomfortable?!" ”
"Queen Mother!"
Jing Yuan raised his eyes violently and looked at the queen with a sincere expression: "The person who gave the prince's brother medicine is the divine doctor of the Medicine King Valley, Jing Yuan will naturally find a way to find him and ask the reason!" It's just that the queen mother, since the imperial doctor did not test the ingredients of the prince's brother from the pill, it can't be sure that this pill caused the prince's brother to be like this, according to Jing Yuan, at this time, the East Palace should be blocked, and all the items that the prince's brother ate after returning to the palace should be checked from the beginning, and then the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving him were summoned one by one, Jing Yuan thought, he could always find some clues! ”
After saying this, the atmosphere in the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and a trace of chagrin flashed in Chu Aotian's eyes, and he suddenly turned around and scolded Lai Shun loudly: "Didn't you hear the princess's words?" Don't go yet! ”
"Yes!"
Lai Shun had a stirring spirit in his heart, and hurriedly took people to block the palace gate, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, and then took the people of the Long An Hall to separate the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the East Palace one by one, and Lai Shun personally inquired.
I never thought that before I was halfway through, news suddenly came from the side hall that a eunuch named "Xiao Mingzi" had committed suicide by biting his tongue!
For a while, the entire Donggong Mountain was about to rain, and the emperor and queen glanced at each other, and they all saw a trace of regret in each other's eyes.
"Check it out!"
Chu Aotian had a dark face, gritted his teeth and said, "Take this little Mingzi for three generations, and give me a clear investigation!" Anyone in the palace who has anything to do with Xiao Mingzi will be locked up and tortured! I don't believe that in the East Palace, under my nose, there can be someone who can reach the sky with his hands and feet and plot to kill my prince! ”
"Yes......"
Come to Shun Xin, I have served Chu Aotian for so many years, and I have never seen Chu Aotian so angry.
But thinking about it, it is also a big crime to murder the prince, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans, but in this way, there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the palace......
Jing Yuan gritted his teeth, simply knelt down in front of Chu Aotian and kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "Father, murdering the crown prince of the dynasty is a big crime of the Nine Clans, but there are still people who do it, has the father ever thought about what is the motive of the mastermind behind the scenes?" In other words, what kind of confidence does the mastermind behind the scenes have to dare to attack the prince? ! ”
Chu Aotian pursed his thin lips tightly, his sharp eyes narrowed, staring at Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his body, and his back placket seemed to be wet with cold sweat, but he could only grit his teeth and look at Chu Aotian strongly.
The father thought that the harem was peaceful, and thought that Concubine Jia was keeping to herself, but the second prince under Concubine Jia's knees was her restless biggest reliance!
Just when the father and daughter were holding each other, a little eunuch suddenly stepped forward, glanced at Jing Yuan with a worried face, and then whispered something in Lai Shun's ear, Lai Shun covered his mouth violently, his face was full of surprise!
"Is your information accurate?"
Lai Shun realized his gaffe, hurriedly coughed lightly, and asked the little eunuch in a low voice.
"Nature is true!"
The little eunuch almost patted his chest and promised: "The files in the palace clearly say that there will be no mistakes!" Father-in-law, you say this ......"
"What's going on, why is it sneaky?"
He had already noticed that Lai Shun was abnormal, Chu Aotian shouted angrily and looked at this side gloomily.
Lai Shun was stunned, waved his hand at the little eunuch, and then bowed down and cautiously came to Chu Aotian, and when he passed by Jing Yuan's side, he glanced at her with a complicated face.
"What the hell is going on?"
The queen hurriedly asked, "Did you find out something?" That little Mingzi, who does it have to do with?! ”
"Back to the queen's mother, Xiao Mingzi has a cousin in the palace who often comes and goes on weekdays, but whether this cousin of his has anything to do with this matter remains to be verified......
Lai Shun considered the words in his heart and replied in a low voice.
"Who is his cousin? In which palace do you serve? ”
Chu Aotian's eyes were dark, and the anger on his face was trying his best to hold back.
Lai Shun paused for a moment and didn't speak directly, but looked at Jing Yuan again with a complicated face.
Jing Yuan "chuckled" in her heart, but before she came back to her senses, she heard a frightened voice: "Xiao Mingzi's cousin's name is Xiao Lizi, this Xiao Lizi is, it is a person from Limo Palace......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
"Someone!"
Chu Aotian shouted loudly: "Go to Limo Palace, catch Xiao Lizi, no one is allowed to enter or leave Limo Palace!" ”
"Your Majesty!"
The queen was in a hurry, and hurriedly knelt in front of Chu Aotian, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Jingyuan is Yu'er's sister-in-law, how can she poison Yu'er?" The emperor asked people to seal Limo Palace, if it spreads, I don't know what others will think, Jing Yuan, how should Jing Yuan deal with himself in the palace in the future? ! ”
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry."
Jing Yuan took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and looked at Chu Aotian with a stubborn expression: "Since this matter is related to Limo Palace, it is also appropriate for the father to make such a will...... Jing Yuan believes that the Qing is self-purifying, Jing Yuan has not done it, even if someone wants to put a hat on Jing Yuan's head, they can't! ”
The East Palace was in chaos, and the Huayang Palace had not slept all night, Concubine Rou walked around the palace with a anxious face, and from time to time she had to send someone to the East Palace to inquire about the news.
Suddenly hearing a sound at the door, Concubine Rou raised her eyes violently, but when she saw that the person who came was Concubine Jia, her eyes were inevitably a little more disappointed, but she still squeezed out a smile: "Why did Sister Concubine Jia come at this time......
"I know that my sister is tormented at this time, so I want to accompany my sister, the emperor should stay in the East Palace tonight, and I don't have time to come to Huayang Palace or my Qianyun Palace......"
Concubine Jia still had that faint smile on her face, and gently grabbed Concubine Rou's hand, only to find that Concubine Rou's hand was cold, but her palms were already soaked with sweat.
"Sister, I have sent a lot of people to the East Palace to inquire about the news, but the emperor seems to have blocked the news of the East Palace, and I can't ask about it, I have this heart, I have ...... in my heart."
As she spoke, Concubine Rou seemed to be about to cry.
"My sister is confused!"
Concubine Jia frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Wouldn't it be eye-catching that you sent someone to inquire about the news of the East Palace?" Now that the emperor has not come to his senses, he may not have imagined that if he waits for the emperor to wake up, will he not be suspicious? My sister didn't hurry up and call all the people sent back, stay in Huayang Palace honestly, and don't ask casually! ”
"I, I forgot that!"
Concubine Rou's heart trembled violently, and she hurriedly shouted at Xichun, who was waiting on the side: "Quickly call all the people sent out!" Close the gate of Huayang Palace, no one is allowed to discuss this matter, go quickly! ”
Then he asked Concubine Jia in a trembling voice, "Sister, what should I do now?" The emperor he, the emperor, should he really suspect me, right? Sister Jiafei, you must save me, I, I ......"
As he spoke, his teeth began to chatter, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"My sister used to look at the heroic characters of women, why did she lose her breath at this time?"
Concubine Jia raised her eyebrows and glanced at Concubine Rou with disdain: "You are the princess who came from Da Xuanhe personally, the emperor has no real evidence, what can he do with you?" Besides, that Xiao Mingzi is the most involved with Limo Palace, what does it have to do with you? You just have to stabilize yourself and be the master of your Huayang Palace generously! ”
"But, but ......"
Concubine Rou cried out with a "wow": "But this poison, after all, it was my ......"
