In front of him was the cold corpse of Xi'er, a good person, and it was gone if he said no. And a moment ago, she was still talking to you. In the blink of an eye, life and death have been separated from each other. It's really impermanent!

Ruyue couldn't describe her mood at this moment, whether she was afraid, helpless, or resentful, she couldn't straighten it out at all. These things were entangled in her heart, and a great sense of loss swept through her heart. "Carry the corpse of the raider to the main hall together."

Le Xi'er answered, and together with the two little eunuchs, she lifted the body of Xi'er, which was not yet cold.

Pei Shuang was sad, and tears flowed down: "What the hell is going on, who has such a big grudge against Aunt Xi'er, and she has to be killed to feel at ease?" ”

Qin'er's eyes were also red, and she reluctantly looked at the figure of Xi'er in the distance: "Niangniang's Day mourning, don't let yourself be too uncomfortable." Since the matter is in the Yongshou Palace, it will definitely be able to find out what you really want. ”

As he was talking, it was Concubine Chun and the first nobleman who rushed over. I was waiting in the side hall, but suddenly I heard a commotion outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, it was the oracle of Concubine Ru ordering the palace door to be locked.

Concubine Chun didn't know what was going on, but she was worried, and when she saw someone carrying Xi'er's body to the main hall, she couldn't sit still anymore. Happily came to Concubine Ru: "Concubine Ru Niang Wan'an, what is going on?" ”

The first nobleman was frightened and a little panicked, and bowed down with the concubine, but did not make a sound.

Ruyue looked at the two people with relatives on their faces, and sighed slightly: "It is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, there is some chaos in the palace, but it makes the two sisters see jokes." Without waiting for the two of them to be polite, Ruyue said again: "Just look at it, let's see it, I haven't figured it out at this time, and the palace has to ask the two sisters to go to the main hall with me." It's good to figure things out. ”

In addition to secretly complaining, Concubine Chun didn't know what to say. It is not diligent to come to Yongshou Palace to ask for peace, but at this rare time, such an unlucky thing happened. If Concubine Ru really doubts herself, how can she be good? In this hurry, Concubine Chun couldn't help but sweat in the palms of her hands, and she couldn't even grasp her silk silk firmly. With the wind, it falls under the skirt.

"Concubine Chun, your veil has fallen." Pei's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Concubine Chun a little uncomfortable, so he took a step forward and bent down to pick up the silk.

Concubine Chun took it in her hand, thanked her, and said to Concubine Ru: "Niangniang, let's go to the main hall and wait first." Things can always be figured out little by little. ”

Only then did the first nobleman come back to his senses, and echoed Concubine Chun's words: "Yes, Niangniang, since the incident has happened, you can always find out if you peel off the cocoon." You just have to relax. ”

Ruyue didn't respond, and said to Qin'er: "Bring all the palace maids who take care of Xi'er on weekdays, and the palace will personally interrogate them one by one." Qin'er nodded again and again, and retreated with tears.

Pei Shuang led the way in front, and Ruyue crossed the concubine and the first nobleman and went to the main hall. Only then did Concubine Chun talk to the first nobleman: "It seems that we are really not here, such a thing has happened at this time, and Concubine Ru is bound to make a big move." ”

The first nobleman sighed slightly, and then smiled bitterly: "The pure person is self-purifying, such as what a wise person the concubine is, she will definitely not easily wronged us." ”

Concubine Chun nodded suspiciously, still beating a drum in her heart. Over the years, although Concubine Ru has not rejected her, she has never seen her. Coupled with the queen's deep dislike for her, I am afraid that this concubine will come to an end.

Several people entered the main hall with a heavy heart, and when the concubine sat down, the concubine and the first nobles sat down on the left and right.

Qin'er's movements were very fast, and Concubine Ru and the others sat down firmly, and she had already twisted the little palace maid who was waiting for Xi'er on weekdays.

"What's your name?" Pei Shuang glanced at the hoof, and shouted coldly: "In front of Concubine Runiang, if you have anything to say, hurry up and make it clear." If you have something to hide, don't blame the minions of the Punishment Division. ”

Xiao Gongwen raised her face and trembled her lips in fear: "Slave Zichun has only recently served Aunt Xi'er." The little girl before was with Jing'er, Jing'er died for no reason, and Aunt Xi'er was unlucky, so she transferred the slave and maid over. My aunt was fine in the morning, and I didn't see anything wrong. The slave and maid really don't know anything. ”

At first, he said that it was good, but Zichun was also afraid of things, and tears couldn't stop falling as he spoke. Crackling, the more she wanted to wipe it clean, the more anxious she became, and the back of her hands on the ground was stained with some dust, and it was wiped black on her face. It looks pitiful.

Le Xi'er and the two little eunuchs gently moved Xi'er's body to the palace. At this time, I have found a thick white cloth to cover it. Although they couldn't see Xi'er's face anymore, Concubine Chun and Chu Guiren still felt very terrifying. After all, there is a difference between life and death, it's okay not to think about it carefully, but when you think about a corpse in front of you, it's a horror that penetrates your bones.

"Niangniang, dare to ask how did this raider go?" Concubine Chun had the courage to raise her eyes at the white cloth.

"The imperial doctor has come to examine it, so it will naturally be clear." Ruyue didn't say anything directly, but looked at Le Xi'er. It's not the first time Le Xi'er has dealt with such a thing, since Zichun's girl refuses to tell the truth, or she doesn't know the truth at all, she can only go down to find out.

Le Xi'er stepped out of the main hall with her front feet, and then someone brought the imperial doctor over.

"Chen Lutian greets Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang is blessed."

The person who came was not Shi Qianmo, which made Concubine Ru a little surprised. It's just that this Lu Tian is very eye-catching, and he has never heard anyone mention it, so Concubine Ru was a little uncertain in her heart, so she only said softly: "Since it is Lord Lu who is here, please examine the corpse of the next head, and see why the aunt in charge of the palace died violently." ”

Obviously, Concubine Ru didn't trust herself, and Lu Tian could feel it from her eyes and tone. But this is not a big deal, and after offending, he calmly lifted the white cloth covering Xi'er's face.

It was obviously poisoning, Lu Tian only glanced at it, and then he found out. But there was no mistake, he still cautiously broke open Xi'er's mouth, and carefully observed whether there was a jet-black color on his tongue. Besides, I looked at Xi'er's hand, and sure enough, there was a thin layer of black on the nails.

Taking out a silver needle, Lu Tian raised Xi'er's head slightly and stabbed the needle in his throat. The thorn was very deep, and the finger holding the needle was pressed against the skin of the attacker's neck before it was slowly pulled out.

Where did Concubine Chun dare to look, she turned her face away early in the morning, and prayed with her eyelids down.

Ruyue saw the end from the beginning, watching Lu Tian's movements, and watching the silver needle pierce Xi'er's throat. When I looked at the needle, the silver color was hidden by the black, and my heart twitched a little. "How?" Knowing in her heart that this is not the time to be sad, Ruyue calmed down her grief and asked calmly.

"Hui Yu is like a concubine, the corpse has been carefully examined, and the deceased took poison and took the entrance, resulting in death of exhaustion. Looking at the appearance of the corpse poisoning, it should be a chronic poison, and it has been for a while. The toxin had already eaten away at the deceased's body, as could be seen in the color of the nails. Lu Tian is not slow, his voice is steady, and he has the confidence to practice medicine for many years.

But I don't know why, Ruyue always feels that this imperial doctor is very arrogant. "How can you see that it's a chronic poison?"

"Mother, please see." Lu Tian held up Xi'er's hand: "If you die of severe poison, the blood flowing from your mouth and nose will naturally be black." But the black color on the nails will not be immediately revealed. At least for more than ten days after death. However, the deceased had just lost his breath, and even the corpse had not yet stiffened, and this black state had already appeared, so it could be seen that it must not be the poison in Caizhong. ”

This time, Pei Shuang was puzzled: "In the future, the slave and maid can always see Aunt Xi'er a few times. Because of the previous brain injury, Aunt Xi'er's spirit has not been very good, but her complexion is good. If it is really as Imperial Doctor Lu said, it was a long-term poison to death, why is it that only the nails are black, but there is no black gas on the face? ”

"Please allow the palace maid to bring a basin of water." Lu Tian did not answer Peishuang's question directly, but confidently took out a scarf.

Ruyue bowed her head and agreed to his request.

Lu Tian put the towel in the clean water and stirred it, twisted the water and gently wiped it back and forth on Xi'er's face. After a while, Xi'er's face revealed black and yellow skin: "That's why you can't see from the deceased's face that the complexion is inappropriate." It's just that the deceased covered the skin with a lot of powder. The thick powder just covers the original black and yellow gas, so that others can't see it. ”

"I see." The first nobleman suddenly realized, and at the same time, he was even more suspicious of Zichun's girl. "Niangniang, the concubine dared to say bluntly, since this poison came from the mouth, and it was a long-term poison, it is impossible for the people around me not to know. I still have to ask the girl who is waiting for the attack. ”

When Zichun heard this, she cried even more sadly: "Don't hide it from Concubine Niangniang, Aunt Xi'er didn't eat any breakfast when she got up this morning. Even the decoction that the slave maid sent to her aunt was restored and left untouched in her room. Slaves can't just poison their aunts, right? ”

Ruyue was about to speak, but it was Lu Tian who interjected first: "The minister dares to guarantee with his life, this poison is definitely not cast by the palace maid." ”

"Oh?" Ruyue can't see through it, but she is a royal doctor with a face, and it is rare to come back to Yongshou Palace. has nothing to do with this palace maid, how can she dare to make a big deal and clear her grievances for nothing? "What is Imperial Doctor Lu's opinion?"

"The minister doesn't dare to be." Lu Tian saluted respectfully and said resolutely: "Not only that, but the minister already knows who the poisoner is." ”

Facing Lu Tian's four eyes, Ruyue tried in vain to see something different from his eyes. But when it looks like it, it's just a blur after all. Whether such a sudden person is kind or malicious, she couldn't figure it out for a while. "So Imperial Doctor Lu thinks, who is poisoning?"
