Chapter 373: Methods of Poisoning

Empress Wei recuperated for two days, her physical strength had recovered a lot, and she was also energetic when she spoke. It's just that her face is still pale and bloodless, because Biyun has to seriously grease and powder Empress Wei every morning, covering up her pale and haggard face, which is in line with her identity as a 'seriously ill person'.

After eating a bowl of lotus seed soup from Biyun, Empress Wei lay down on the bed again, and Luo Qingluan went over to inquire carefully about the coma that morning. If you don't find out the reason for Empress Wei's poisoning, then it is very likely that she will accidentally be hit again, so Luo Qingluan must confirm this.

Hearing Luo Qingluan's question, Empress Wei thought about it, her brows furrowed, and she seemed to recall what happened three days ago: "That morning, Bengong was originally reading a book, but later when she saw that the sky was good, she wanted to go out for a walk. ”

Empress Wei also knew that her physical condition was not particularly good, and she usually walked around the courtyard and rarely went to the imperial garden, so even though the weather was very good that day, she did not go far.

Biyun nodded: "Yes, Miss Luo, I accompanied the queen mother that morning, and I walked around the courtyard outside a few times." ”

Regarding Empress Wei's actions that day, every place is the key, and Luo Qingluan must understand what happened in detail. Once again, make sure that Empress Wei has eaten anything special.

After Empress Wei recalled seriously, she shook her head and said: "No, I didn't feel that my appetite was very good that day, so I ate a little porridge in the morning, and even when Biyun brought me some fruit, I didn't eat it." ”

Since this was said by Empress Wei herself, Luo Qingluan believes that there should be no omission: "Then think about it carefully, did you smell anything strange in the yard, or touched something special?" ”

As a healer, Luo Qingluan is very aware of the possibility of poisoning. After all, Empress Wei's health is not particularly good, and she is afraid that a little dose will make her have a seizure. Whether it was air contact or touching something, these could have made Empress Wei come into contact with the Dream Camel Grass.

Empress Wei thought for a while, and spoke very slowly: "That day, the palace remembered that the roses on the courtyard wall bloomed well, and the palace liked it very much, but there should be no problem with this, right?" ”

The rose flower is not poisonous, and Luo Qingluan also checked the rose flower that day, and there is no sign of being poisoned, so this can be ruled out.

"What about the other ......" Empress Wei continued to think again, and said with some uncertainty: "By the way, Biyun, didn't the palace still feed the fish that day?" But there is nothing wrong with those fish jumping around? No one would poison the water, would they? ”

Suddenly thinking of this, Biyun immediately nodded and said, "Oh, yes, Niangniang, could it be that there is a problem with those waters?" Because the mother touched the water when she fed the fish, she was poisoned? ”

Luo Qingluan shook his head: "This shouldn't be, if the fish can survive in the water, then there must be no problem with this water, it's just ......"

Since there are suspicious points that he has not discovered before, no matter what, Luo Qingluan still plans to take a look.

Walking out of the palace gate, Luo Qingluan saw at a glance the cloisonne fish tank placed under the big banyan tree in the middle of the courtyard. Walking over, she saw that the fish in the tank were still cheerful and lively, waving their heads and tails swimming around, and there was nothing unusual at all.

Isn't it a problem with this fish tank?

Luo Qingluan secretly sneered, feeling that he might be thinking too much. She was about to leave, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, as if she thought of something, she immediately turned her head and asked Biyun beside her: "By the way, is there any fish food that Niangniang fed the fish that day?" Show me. ”

Biyun nodded, turned and ran back to the house. A moment later, he came out with a rosewood box. When I opened it, the box contained all the fish food that Empress Wei usually fed the fish, packed in small compartments, and there was a silver spoon inside.

Luo Qingluan took the wooden box, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly a faint smell of dream camel grass entered his nose.

His eyes lit up, and Luo Qingluan was pleasantly surprised: "That's it!" ”

"What, this fish food?" Biyun hadn't reacted yet, and his face was surprised.

No wonder I never thought of it before, it turned out that the problem was this fish food, although Luo Qingluan now has nine points of suspicion, but he must still experiment himself to be sure. She scooped a little fish food with a silver spoon and put it into the fish tank, and immediately some fish rushed up and devoured the fish food one bite at a time, which seemed very interesting.

But Luo Qingluan was not playing, after feeding a few spoonfuls of fish food, she stopped and carefully observed the reactions of these fish. Time passed little by little, and the fish food was quickly eaten by the fish, Biyun waited for a while, and did not find anything abnormal.

She was a little strange: "Miss Luo, you see that there is nothing, it shouldn't be a problem with fish food...... Before she finished speaking, there was already something wrong with the fish in the fish tank.

A few of the fish were obviously swimming very slowly, and there were some signs that they were going to turn their stomachs, as if they were going to die. After swimming for a while, the fish seemed to want to move, but they couldn't do anything at all, and gradually they swam slower and slower, and finally stopped moving, and floated directly on the water, with their stomachs facing up.

Biyun's eyes widened: "Ah...... Miss Luo, these fish are dead! ”

"Dead? That's not for sure. ”

Luo Qingluan directly grabbed a fish, looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, although these fish have eaten fish food, at least they are not dead now, the fish are poisoned by these fish food, but the physical condition of fish and human is different." Although Niangniang will be poisoned and comatose when she comes into contact with these fish food, the degree of coma of the fish is different, and it is estimated that these fish may recover after a while. ”

Luo Qingluan and Biyue's actions in the courtyard also attracted Xiao Yuqi, who walked over with his hands in his hands and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Biyun hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, come and see these fish." ”

Xiao Yuqi just glanced at it, and his face sank. Luo Qingluan handed over the contents of the wooden box, Xiao Yuqi naturally understood what she meant, and the other party was to put the poison in the fish food, and use the opportunity of his mother to feed the fish, and the poison seeped into the body.

Luo Qingluan nodded: "It seems that the person who poisoned him is particularly aware of the queen's physical condition, if it is an ordinary person who comes into contact with such a little poisonous fish food, even if he is a little unwell, dizziness and other symptoms will not be unconscious." But the queen mother has always been not in good health, and after a little contact, she fainted. ”

Xiao Yuqi's face was gloomy: "Biyun, who is usually responsible for these things?" ”

Biyun hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, these things that Niangniang fed the fish were all sent by the princess. ”

The prince in Biyun's mouth is Wang Chu, the chief eunuch of Fengwu Palace. As soon as this name was mentioned, Xiao Yuqi knew that Wang Chu, as the chief eunuch, had been with his mother for more than 20 years, and he had been by his side since his mother was still the crown princess.

Xiao Yuqi's face gradually softened: "Since he is not the crown prince, it must be that the people around him secretly changed the real fish food and added poisonous substances." ”

Luo Qingluan nodded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, at this critical moment, you can't startle the snake at will, if you wronged the wrong person, maybe it will make the suspect wary." If you want to investigate, it's best to do it quietly. ”

Xiao Yuqi also wanted to catch this murderer immediately and avenge his mother, but he also knew now that he could never be careless, and he would soon find out, but he couldn't miss at this critical time.

He summoned his henchmen, carefully commanded a few words, and the henchmen took the order and left.

Thinking back to what happened just now, Xiao Yuqi said to Luo Qingluan: "Miss Luo, thank you so much, if you hadn't thought that there might be a problem with fish food, we wouldn't know where to start investigating." ”

Luo Qingluan smiled and did not answer. She just wanted to repay Xiao Yuqi for saving her life, and besides, she didn't want Queen Wei to have an accident after being in contact with Queen Wei for such a period of time, after all, compared to Concubine Li Guifei, Queen Wei was a real mother, much better than that vicious woman.

To investigate this matter, Luo Qingluan handed it over to Xiao Yuqi to be responsible. Seeing that she was about to leave the palace, Xiao Yuqi kept sending Luo Qingluan to the gate of Fengwu Palace: "Miss Luo, I have worked hard for you in the past few days, since the queen mother is fine, then you can go back and have a good rest." ”

Luo Qingluan nodded, but asked something that surprised him a little: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know anything about Concubine Li's maiden family?" ”

There were so many twists and turns in things, which Luo Qingluan didn't expect at first.

From the beginning, I encountered Xiao Tianci bullying men and women on the street, because Luo Qingluan couldn't stand it, so he did it. But later learned that Xiao Tianci was actually Li Fengnian's grandson, so she started to rectify him ruthlessly. As for whether it was because of this caused Concubine Li Guifei's hatred, or whether she had long been tired of seeing Empress Wei and attacked her, Luo Qingluan didn't know, but she always felt that there was an invisible line implicating all this.

Now that the safety of Empress Wei has been solved, Luo Qingluan also hopes to learn some news about Li Fengnian from Xiao Yuqi. Since the Dark Night Hall has investigated Li Fengnian and fought for it, the involvement must be not small.

Xiao Yuqi frowned: "Did Miss Luo ask Li Shangshu?" ”

Although he didn't understand why Luo Qingluan was interested in Li Fengnian, Xiao Yuqi still said with a straight face: "Li Shangshu has a good reputation, and he has been an official for decades, but he has also done his best to share his father's worries and sorrows, and he has won the trust of his father." ”

"Then ......" A gleam flashed in his eyes, Luo Qingluan paused, and said, "If I say...... This Li Shangshu may collude with the enemy country, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that I am alarmist? ”

I thought that Xiao Yuqi would be angry and not believe it, but what I didn't expect was that Xiao Yuqi didn't speak for a while, but his expression was a little obscure.

Luo Qingluan's heart moved: "His Royal Highness the Prince, have you ever doubted this?" ”

Although he is still the crown prince, Xiao Yuqi is deeply trusted by Emperor Dongwan and has been allowed to listen to the government in the palace. As the head of the household department of Dongwan Kingdom, Xiao Yuqi will naturally pay attention, he also has some of his own henchmen and strategists, and he also has a detailed understanding of Li Fengnian, it is precisely because of a certain thing that arouses his suspicions, otherwise Xiao Yuqi would not have thought that Li Fengnian might be doing something behind his back.

It's just that he never found evidence, and he just suspected it, after all, Li Feng is a high and powerful person, and his every move, word and deed is related to the people's livelihood in Dongwan Kingdom, and he will be involved in the whole body.

Even if it was Xiao Yuqi, he didn't dare to show his attitude before he had absolute evidence. If he hadn't heard Luo Qingluan talk about this today, he would definitely not have been touched.

"What did Miss Luo find?" Xiao Yuqi looked at her.

Could it be that he really had suspicions, but there was no evidence? Luo Qingluan shook his head: "No, I just heard about it, I can't take it seriously." Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of Dongwan, he should be cautious, I just remind you. ”

Xiao Yuqi arched his hand: "Thank you, Miss Luo." ”
