156 Cannibalism (1)

Pian Zheng still remembers that the wind extinguished the incense burner that day, and she had doubts in her heart.

Thirteen reached out and opened the censer, and the ashes were still there.

He took a clean veil and poured out the ashes, and then asked the maid to fetch water and melt the ashes into the water.

Thirteen went out and caught a living creature, and poured the water into the mouth of the living creature.

The effect of the medicine would not be so fast, so the kite continued to search the room for other clues and evidence.

Pointing to the black marks under the pillars on both sides, he asked, "What was there here?" ”

At this time, Mu Ling and Mulan, who were called by the pityan for questioning, happened to enter the house.

Mulan looked at the position pointed by the pian, and frowned slightly, "There was originally a charcoal basin there. ”

Mu Ling looked over, his eyes were watery, and he nodded.

"Yes. After the prince's funeral, there was no charcoal basin in the house, and the charcoal basin was removed. Afraid that the house would be hot, the mother always came to this house to cry with the prince's clothes, and the queen said that she was afraid that the concubine would be sad and ordered someone to withdraw. ”

The queen let people be removed?

"The six princes, what is uncomfortable in their bodies these days, think about it carefully, are there any things that you take for granted but are a little weird?"

Nowadays there is no way to find poisoning, there is always a symptom to point out which poison is in it.

"Since the six princes came back from Xiudu City, they have not been in a good mood, and their spirits are not good, and the emperor has been sick and has been less recently, although the six princes have been to see it, but every time they come back, they are depressed...... And ......"

Mu Ling spoke cautiously and glanced at the pitiful kite.

Lian Zheng naturally noticed that the two of them did feel that something was wrong, but they didn't say it.

Pian Zheng raised his eyebrows coldly, "It's okay for you to say it, the lower officials are only for the dead, if it is not the murderer, it will not be targeted." ”

Mulan and Mu Ling glanced at each other, and then Mulan knelt on the ground, raised her head and said: "A while ago, the sixth prince often went to the bedroom of the concubine Niangniang, although the spirit was not very good when he came back every time, but the slave maid felt ...... I feel that looking at the spirit of the noble concubine these days is more like a little crazy, so the six princes seem to be normal......"

As soon as Lian Zheng heard this, she finally knew what Mu Ling and Mulan were taboo about?

Not to mention that there are two princes dead now, if even Xi Guifei is wrong, three lives in a row, how dare they say it?

Thinking deeply, in such a short period of time, the most favored concubines and princes can be dealt with unconsciously, and the murderer must be hidden in this palace.

Thinking about it carefully, it is true that the attitude of Concubine Xi when she talked to her not long ago is indeed suspicious compared to now.

"Thirteen, I ordered someone to ask for a pulse, saying that Concubine Xi was unwell after eating today, so she asked the Imperial Medicine Department to invite the imperial doctor...... No, you have to find a way to send someone to invite the Snow Thorn or the Race Immortal. ”

If you can unknowingly move your hands and feet in Xi Guifei's diet or somewhere, the imperial doctor can't detect it until now, who can guess if there will be a problem with this imperial doctor?

Thirteen nodded and hurriedly went as instructed.

"Mulan, you take my waist card and invite Jiang Fu's father-in-law beside Concubine Xi, saying that I have something to ask."

After Lian Zheng finished instructing Mulan, he said to Mu Ling: "Go and burn the pot and charcoal immediately, the hotter the better." ”

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a moment, "My lord, this ......"

"Mu Ling, you go and invite Father-in-law Jiang Fu, I'll burn this coal."

Mulan pursed her lips, stared at the pity Zheng seriously, and blessed her body slightly, "Please beg your lord, be sure to find out the cause of the death of the sixth prince." ”

After Mulan said this, she had already made up her mind in her heart, but she lowered her head but walked out of the dormitory with red eyes.

Mu Ling looked at Mulan's appearance, her eyes were also red, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, turned her head and went out to do something.

It didn't take long for Mu Ling to invite Jiang Fu over.

Lian Zheng was sitting on the chair, facing Jiang Fu's surprised gaze, and smiled slightly: "Father-in-law Jiang Fu, the lower officials invited you to come, I have something to ask you." ”

Jiang Fu glanced at it lightly, flicked the whip, and rested it on his elbow, "The adult asked." ”

"Father-in-law Jiang Fu, who has the concubine seen these days, what things have she used, and is there anything weird?"

"Do you know that if you listen to the news of your mother in the palace in private, you will be punished with a rod?" Jiang Fu said coldly.

The struggle in the six palaces has always been fierce, and the whereabouts can become an opportunity for others to start, and the people in their own palace must be tight-lipped and can't let people take the handle.

"The lower official is a torture envoy, if you don't say it, you will harm Concubine Xi."

Pity Zheng smiled leisurely: "Concubine Xi's symptoms now are somewhat similar to the symptoms of the Six Princes before, if you don't say it, are you deliberately waiting for Concubine Xi to have an accident?" With such a crime, dare to ask how the father-in-law can bear it? ”

Jiang Fu's expression paused slightly, neither panicked nor hurried, but also not worried.

Pian Zheng couldn't guess the emotion in his eyebrows, so she had to stare at him with bated breath, for fear of missing something.

"What do you mean, my mother is also poisoned now?"

As soon as he said this, Lian Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "How does Jiang Fu's father-in-law know that he is poisoned?" ”

"The old slave accompanied the mother to cry for the funeral, looked at the face of the six princes, stayed in the palace for so many years, I can't see this trick, and I have long since died." Jiang Fu didn't show the slightest panic.

Mulan had already brought in the charcoal basin from outside, and ordered someone to put it on the charcoal pot seal that Fang Pian had pointed out.

"What are you going to do, sir?" Jiang Fu glanced at it coldly, "Is it possible that you still want to punish the old slave?" ”

"How dare Xia Guan, it's just that Xia Guan couldn't find any clues about poisoning in the bedroom of the Six Princes, only these two charcoal basins were taken away, and the charcoal basins were removed dutily, and Xia Guan couldn't find any clues in his heart, so he couldn't think of anything."

Pian Zheng was not in a hurry, and slowly walked to the edge of the brazier, "I don't know if my father-in-law has ideas?" ”

Jiang Fu raised his eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this.

He stared silently at the coal-fired brazier, as if thinking about something, but suddenly his face changed.

Lian Zheng saw his expression in his eyes, and then said: "The sixth prince is indeed poisoned, but the poison does not enter from the mouth, and there are no needle holes or wounds in the body. ”

Pian Zheng said: "The blood of the six princes has also been checked, and it is not the fire poison in the charcoal pot that was put indoors. ”

“…… But there is one thing that is very strange, the things in the dormitory are only the charcoal basin that have been removed, but it seems that there are no three hundred taels of silver here......"

"These days, Niangniang also has troubles, whenever she is upset, Niangniang will go to the Bible Pavilion and copy a Buddhist scripture." Jiang Fu said with a frown.

Pity didn't interrupt him, but his face gradually sank when he looked at him.

"The Bible Pavilion is not too close to Niangniang's dormitory, and it is not far away, but after Niangniang was pregnant, she often copied the scriptures in the palace by herself, and invited a Bodhisattva to pay tribute, and after a long time, she did not go to the Bible Pavilion."

When Mulan heard this, she did nod her head, and they all knew this.

"Not long ago, Yang Shufei once ordered someone to send a stack of scriptures and sent someone to give them to Niangniang, but Niangniang and Yang Shufei were not on good terms, so the scriptures were not rested on the Buddhist hall, but were placed in the treasury, just ......"

Jiang Fu paused and said: "Yang Shufei ordered people to send the scriptures of the Buddhist temples every once in a while, and the mother copied them every day, and the handscrolls were too much to burn to the Buddha, so they ......"

Seeing Jiang Fu suddenly stop what he was saying, he quickly took back Jiang Fu's meaning.

It seems that the book was burned.

"The ink that Niangniang used to copy the scriptures is the ink used in daily life?" Lian Zheng probably thought of it with Jiang Fu.

"On weekdays, the mother grinds the ink by herself and transcribes it herself, and she never lets us pass it, but this inkstone ......"

Jiang Fu hesitated again and again, but his eyes didn't dare to say anything, and only after half a sound did he say in a deep voice: "The inkstone was given by the emperor!" ”

At this point, everyone fell silent.

Thirteen hurried from outside the door and nodded at the pitiful kite: "The person has come." ”

Lian Zheng immediately followed Thirteen and rushed to Concubine Xi's bedroom.

Xue Thorn was asking for Xi Guifei's pulse, and even sent the pulse case with Xi Guifei's previous pulse.

When the pityan arrived, Snow Thorn had already made Concubine Xi drink the soothing soup.

Waiting for Concubine Xi to fall asleep, Snow Thorn came out of the room.

"How?" Mercy Zheng stepped forward and asked.

The snow thorn eyebrows and eyes were faint, as if the expression was different from the past.

She glanced at the kite, "Not good. ”

Just at this glance, Pian Zheng felt that Snow Thorn was very unfamiliar, although Snow Thorn had a dislike with her in the past, but it was not so cold. This look seems to have been seen in the person next to me, but for a while, I can't remember who it is?

"But look closer." Snow Thorn reached out and pulled a silver needle, stepped forward and shook the hand of the kite, and stabbed a hole in his hand.

Before the kite could struggle, the needle had already been pierced.

"If you are a normal person, this needle will enter the acupoint, and there will be a stinging feeling."

Snowthorn indifferently slowly pulled out the silver needle, "If you are a person who has been infected with this poison, you will not feel any pain at all." ”

Lian Zheng held back the hidden pain, "So, what kind of poison is in the concubine Niangniang?" ”

Xue Thorn looked at her deeply, stared at her for a moment, slowly turned his face away, and said lightly: "What is in the palace is Dansha." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Fu was already shocked.

Mu Ling had already gone to fetch the inkstone according to the instructions of the pity, but before the pityan could test it, the snow thorn put the pulse case on the table.

Xue Thorn glanced at the pity with a cold eye, "Not only Concubine Xi, but also the six princes have made people move, have you seen the pulse case?" ”

Lian Zheng has indeed seen the pulse case of the Six Princes, and he has not seen any problems with the medication.

Snow Thorn asked his subordinates to send the Imperial Medicine Division to the archives of Concubine Xi and the Six Princes, especially the medicine residue needed to be kept.

Snow Thorn was not in a hurry to check the medicine residue, but ordered someone to send the ashes under Xi Guifei's medicine jar.

"Concubine Xi has been as restless as the six princes recently, because she is pregnant, she will inevitably be lazy in winter, Concubine Xi is pregnant, and she pays special attention to the diet and medicine, and it will be difficult to put cinnabar into the diet."

Pity Zheng's heart lit up, and he suddenly reacted.

"It's not an inkstone, it's a Buddha shrine!"

Pian Zheng frowned, "There is yellow paper used to copy charms in the Buddha Temple, which can be used to pray for blessings, exorcise ghosts and worship ancestors. ”

"After cinnabar is burned, it will be able to inhale the internal organs, showing palpitations and irritability, insomnia and dreams...... Once this symptom occurs and the prescription is changed, then it is easy to start. ”

Jiang Fu nodded again and again, and said with a pale face: "Niangniang did feel uncomfortable after worshipping in her palace, but at that time she thought it was because of pregnancy, so she returned to the imperial doctor to see, but she just changed the prescription, but there was no cure." ”

"Xi Guifei is poisoned, the poison of this dansha is not in the problem of the prescription, but in the charcoal and the jar!"

Snowthorn narrowed her eyes and pinched the ashes, "It took a lot of thought, so that people couldn't notice anything for a while." ”

"Dansha is on fire, and poison can kill." The pityan said softly

Everyone couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Concubine Xi, but they didn't think about it, not only was there a killer in the Buddha Temple, but they were afraid that they would not be thoughtful, so they even left a hand.

"The six princes are different." Lian Zheng rubbed his eyebrows, "The sixth prince has returned from Xiudu City's illness before he has recovered, and the imperial doctor naturally wants to maintain the prince's holy body, and he has been taking medicine, and the dansha is much simpler, just mix it in the original medicine pills." ”

"The six princes are restless, dreaming and palpitating, and need to calm their nerves, clear their hearts and detoxify, so the soothing and tonifying pills in the prescription are indeed reasonable, but there is a taste of dansha in the soothing pills, so I am afraid that someone has deliberately increased the weight of dansha, which is not only not easy to detect, but also kills people invisibly."

"Dansha can be used as the main medicine, once it is used for too long, the ingredients are slightly aggravated, and the six princes will die sooner or later."

The smile on Xue Thorn's eyebrows was faintly watched, always a little unspeakably strange and familiar.

While she was talking, the queen mother and Dong Guifei rushed over.

Snow Thorn explained the words again, but there was no emotion on the faces of the two people.

Dansha is so ordinary, it actually killed the six princes and the seven princes who had not yet been born in a row, and almost couldn't even save the concubine.

"Come on, immediately take down the imperial doctor of Concubine Xi and the imperial doctor of the six princes, that is, Dong Weizhuang!"

Dong Guifei's eyebrows changed, and she immediately said: "Queen Mother, in the past two months, Concubine Xi said that Dong Weizhuang's medical skills were unsatisfactory, and he had replaced others, but in fact, Dong Weizhuang has been diagnosing the pulse of his concubines for the past month. ”

When the queen heard this, she frowned.

"So who's involved in this?"
