Chapter 219: The Death of Concubine Xin
Sure enough, as King Qin expected, the abolished prince was related to Xin Concubine.
If it weren't for the King of Qin to let the secret guard stare at the waste prince, he wouldn't know that he had made a move, his means were very simple, and he directly asked the waste princess to serve the queen, and somehow, the queen who had been sick for a long time gradually got better, and the queen who recovered from the illness took back the palace power from the hands of the concubine, and the harem was under her control, as the master of the harem, it was a matter of course to care about the concubine, so the prince also knew the condition of the concubine, the body was highly poisonous, and the body was injured by a small birth, even if it was too good medicine, it was difficult to wake up.
But she still has the possibility of being sober.
The palace of Xin Concubine is gloomy, the palace people are like dust, quiet as a cicada, I can't wait for my sense of existence, the imperial doctor has been stationed here, every day to give Xin Concubine a consultation and medicine, the emperor sent to inquire about the person has not been broken, it can be seen that the emperor's attitude towards Xin Concubine cherished, but the waiting palace people are not happy at all, if Xin Concubine has any three long and two short, they will not end well, so they are the most hope that Xin Concubine will get better.
On this day, the big palace maid Agate beside Concubine Xin walked into the dormitory, and quietly stuffed a purse for the imperial doctor, which contained a silver ticket, she smiled flatteringly, and asked, "Imperial Doctor Xu, how is the condition of our master?" When will she wake up? ”
Imperial Physician Xu flipped the purse in his sleeve, the light weight made his eyes flash a gleam, although the silver ticket was moving, but it was bad for the emperor, even if there was silver, there was no life flower, so he returned the purse, his expression was the usual sleek and sophisticated of the imperial doctor in the palace, "Onyx girl don't have to worry too much, Concubine Xin is just a miscarriage, and she will wake up soon." ”
Onyx took the purse back, hammered down his long eyelashes, and said softly, "Imperial Doctor Xu, the slave wants to wipe the master's body, is it okay?" The master loves to be clean, and he has not been clean since he fell unconscious. ”
Xin Concubine's bedroom has never left people, not only the imperial doctor is on duty day and night, even the emperor has sent palace maids and eunuchs to watch, everything about Xin Concubine does not let outsiders interfere, Onyx, as the palace maid of Xin Concubine, has not been in contact with Xin Concubine for a long time.
Imperial Physician Xu hesitated for a moment, and looked at Aunt Miao on the side, she was a person sent by the emperor, and Concubine Xin had to listen to her orders in the palace, even if it was the imperial physician on duty.
Aunt Miao squinted at Agate, Agate's face did not show anything inappropriate, as if she was just a loyal palace maid, she turned her mind and said, "It's not impossible for the Onyx girl to want to clean up for the Xin Concubine, but the Xin Concubine is extraordinary now, and the Onyx girl wants to get close to the Xin Concubine, she must first cleanse herself." ”
It's about worrying about what she's hiding, or rather, expecting what she's hiding.
Onyx didn't seem to know the deep meaning of Aunt Miao, smiled gratefully, and said continuously, "The slave understands, if you can't rest assured, Auntie, you can let people look at the slave." ”
In fact, Aunt Miao not only sent someone to watch her, but also went on the field herself, staring at Onyx and changing her clothes, not to mention, even when she went in to wipe her body for Concubine Xin, her eyes never staggered.
Concubine Xin was so thin that she was out of shape, her face was like gold paper, and the once delicate and lovely beauty had withered like a flower out of season, and if it weren't for the faint breathing, she would almost be like an unconscious corpse. Outsiders say that the emperor loves Concubine Xin and attaches great importance to her condition, but the palace maid he sent is not even willing to do such a trivial thing as purification, where is there still a shadow of attention.
A leopard can be seen in the tube.
Onyx dressed Concubine Xin in a complicated mood, carefully put her back on the bed, and blessed Aunt Miao, who had been standing beside her, "Auntie, the slave has finished purifying for Concubine Xin, do you have any other instructions?" ”
Aunt Miao frowned, puzzled in her heart, the agate was very clean, she didn't bring anything abnormal, and she didn't even find anything in the process of purifying her body, but there was a faint Buddha fragrance on her body, which was the sandalwood left by eating fasting and chanting Buddha. Could it be that she was overly concerned, and Onyx was just a slave and maid loyal to the Lord, not a pawn sent by someone?
Because she couldn't figure it out, Aunt Miao inevitably paid more attention, and after Onyx left, she directly ordered people to stare at it, Agate, as a big palace maid, was responsible for controlling the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and solving problems for the master, but now she couldn't intervene in either of these things, and stayed in the room all day to eat fasting and pray for the master, even if she didn't forget to read the Buddha after returning that day, she really couldn't see anything abnormal.
That night, however, Onyx died.
She killed herself, and soon after Onyx's death, Xin Concubine's condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and it didn't take long for her to die.
Obviously, Concubine Xin's death has something to do with Onyx.
The situation is grim, the people below dare not hide it, and hurriedly report to the emperor, after Emperor Zhaoming learned the news, Long Yan was furious, under his nose can someone lurk in to extinguish the mouth, so next time can he also kill him?
The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed.
Including Imperial Physician Xu and Aunt Miao, everyone in the Xin Concubine Palace was sent to the Shen Punishment Division, and no one in that place had ever been able to come out alive, and another secret guard thoroughly investigated the cause of Xin Concubine's death, and the truth was quickly presented - Agate killed Xin Concubine with the same spice.
Aunt Miao was cautious enough to let Onyx clean before approaching Concubine Xin, but there was one omission, and that was her hair. Agate hid poison in her hair, and because she burned incense and worshiped Buddha all day long, her hair was stained with a strong sandalwood fragrance, which covered the smell of spices, so no one noticed the abnormality in her sideburns.
Thoughtful, exquisitely designed, the killing of agate was not temporary at all, after Xin Concubine fell unconscious, she began to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, maybe waiting for this day.
The dark guard looked at Emperor Zhaoming's dark face, suppressed the tremor in his heart, and continued, "My subordinates have interrogated the people in the palace of Concubine Xin, and I learned that Onyx has never seen outsiders at all for a while, let alone come into contact with anything abnormal, but it is Concubine Xin's spices, because she likes it, she asked Concubine Xin for some, so it seems that she spontaneously killed people and killed her mouth." ”
Onyx and Xin Concubine have no grievances, ruling out the possibility of her revenge, she is obviously in a group with the people behind the scenes, and she also knows that Xin Concubine's spices are poison, so she specially left some to help the master eliminate traces after an accident, such a loyal and meticulous subordinate is simply hard to find.
Emperor Zhaoming's face was very ugly, he and Xin Concubine were also poisoned by spices, and now Xin Concubine is dead, if he has no antidote, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious, the imperial doctor already knows what kind of poison spices are, but the antidote has not yet been dispensed, he is just hanging his life with the treasure of heaven and earth.
The anger of being murdered could not be vented, Emperor Zhaoming's temper became capricious, and there were often palace maids and eunuchs in the palace who disappeared, but these did not eliminate his anger at all, just now, he directly smashed the teacup towards the secret guard, "Waste! After checking for so long, I haven't found out where Xin Concubine's spices came from, I ask you, what is the matter with Xin Concubine's nocturnal syndrome? A woman who is sick cannot be sent to the palace at all. ”
The secret guard didn't dare to dodge, and directly suffered the thunderous wrath of the emperor, and the blood quickly spread to his face, he didn't dare to wipe it, and he didn't even show a painful expression on his face, but his voice was much lower, "Some palace people saw Xin Concubine in the imperial garden, and their subordinates checked the imperial garden, and found that there was a secret passage behind the rockery, and at the end of the secret passage, there was an abandoned well near the East Palace, and there were traces of movement in the waste well, which should be the person who had a tryst with Xin Concubine." ”
Yes, Emperor Zhaoming already knew that Concubine Xin was unclean, the evidence was the child in her womb, the imperial doctor said that he was not enough essence, and the possibility of the harem concubine being pregnant was very small, he originally did not take it seriously, thinking that Concubine Xin's pregnancy was an accident gifted by God, until he found out that she was wrong, he suspected that she had a private meeting with someone and conspired against the adulterer.
Now, the end of the garden passage is near the East Palace...... Emperor Zhaoming's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean, are you suspicious of the abolished prince?" ”
The secret guard hesitated for a moment, didn't dare to draw a conclusion, but just told the matter, "The subordinates checked the identity of Onyx, and found that she had served in the Jingtai Palace of the Imperial Concubine, and after the death of the Imperial Concubine, she was transferred to the Shangyi Bureau, because of her excellent palace embroidery was appreciated by the concubine, and she was promoted to be the palace maid. ”
Now he got in touch with King Qin again.
Emperor Zhaoming's smile was extremely cold, "Check, check it for me!" ”
At the moment when Emperor Zhaoming was angry, the abolished prince was visiting the queen, and the news had been blocked in the palace of Xin Concubine, but he knew that the Shen Criminal Division had interrogated many palace maids and eunuchs, but the specific reason for it was not revealed at all.
The abolished prince was uneasy, so he didn't care about the suspicion, and personally came to Chengqian Palace to inquire about the situation, the queen was calm, her face was still pale with the beginning of a serious illness, but she had a strategizing calmness and calmness, "Although my son can rest assured, the agate around Xin Concubine is a person from the palace, and the palace sent someone to visit Xin Concubine not long ago, although she has not been in contact with her, but the tacit understanding of the master and servant for many years, she knows what to do." At this time, the emperor made a big move, and it should be that Onyx has already succeeded. ”
Half of the heart that the waste prince had been carrying immediately calmed down, and the other half was worried about Onyx, "Will she expose you to the queen mother?" ”
The queen smiled smugly, "No, her family's lives are in the hands of this palace, the power of the Shen Penal Division is well known, she doesn't dare to go in and leak the secret, she will definitely commit suicide, no matter how the emperor investigates, he will find Jingtai Palace, and Chengqian Palace has nothing to do with it." ”
The waste prince finally showed a relaxed smile, "The queen mother is amazing, with your help, the son will be much easier, you have to take care of your body, and your son will be filial to you in the future." ”
"As long as I can help my son achieve great things, what is it worth working hard." The queen coughed lightly, her face was a little ruddy, but the light in her eyes was as fanatical and bright as a waste prince, "This palace is the queen, my son is the prince, this world, it should be our mother and son." ”
The waste prince narrowed his eyes and laughed slowly.
