Duan Jing hesitated to take the soup in his hand and said, "Since everyone can't add food, I think it's better to forget it." ”

The guard hurriedly said again: "Don't get me wrong, little prince, this soup can still be added, after all, this soup actually doesn't have any oil and water, it can basically be said to be as much as you want." ”

Duan Jing looked at the soup bowl in his hand and nodded, this is true, this soup has nothing but two oil flowers and vegetable leaves floating on it.

Duanjing took the soup in his hand with confidence, said his hard work, picked up the bowl and took a sip, and then returned to the place where he was sitting.

The guard who was cooking took out the rest of the food, took another steamed bun, and walked towards the prison car.

The food was thrown in the cell car, and the guards didn't say much.

Chu Luoyi picked up the vegetable bowl as usual, lowered his head and ate the leftovers that everyone had picked.

After eating, everything was as usual, and things didn't change at all.

The people hurried forward a little further, until they were almost out of the forest, and then they were stationed again.

Their marching procession was not small in number, and it was a long journey, and it was impossible for the imperial court to allocate money for them to live in inns, so they could only travel through the mountains and forests unless they were towns that could be traveled in a day, so that it was convenient to be stationed in the mountains and forests at night, so as to reduce their expenses.

Just as everyone had finished camping and was about to rest, the two patrolling guards suddenly exclaimed in surprise and shouted, "Oh no! The prisoner is dead! ”

Feng Hong, Duan Jing, Xia Ziqiong, and several leading guards suddenly rushed over and tightly surrounded the prisoner car.

"Quick, open the prisoner cart first!" Feng Hong immediately commanded.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to unlock the lock, and several people worked together to get Chu Luoyi off the car.

Feng Hong stretched out his hand to carefully probe Chu Luoyi's snort, Xia Ziqiong's eyes flashed with thick anticipation, but Duanjing's hand hidden in his sleeve tightened inexplicably.

Hearing the news, even Xiang Yu, who rarely got out of the car, walked out of the car quickly, looked at Chu Luoyi, who was bleeding from his nose and was completely angry, and almost fainted: "She... How is she? ”

Xia Ziqiong looked at Xiang Yu, whose face was pale, and said with an undetectable smile on the corner of her mouth: "It's dead." ”

A string of tears flowed from Xiang Yu's eyes, and he looked at the thin figure on the ground in disbelief, and muttered softly: "Impossible.. Impossible..."

Michelle Xia snorted coldly and ignored her, but stared at Feng Hong, wanting to get confirmation from him.

"I'm out of breath." Feng Hong shook his head and said.

Several guards suddenly looked dark, His Majesty issued a holy decree to let them escort people to the border city to hand over to the prince, but now the people are dead in the middle of the road, how can they be good.

"How can this good person die!" Duan Jing frowned and spoke.

Although Michelle Xia was in her heart, she still cooperated: "Looking at the blood stains flowing from her nose are black in color, if it is as expected, it should be poisoned!" ”

Duan Jing said angrily: "Poisoning? Could it be that someone poisoned her and wanted to poison her? ”

Before the others could speak, Duan Jing seemed to think of something, and hurriedly spoke again: "Bring me the guards and men who made and dispatched the meals today!" ”

Hearing this, everyone seemed to have just thought of this, if it was poisoning, someone would always poison it, this Chu Luoyi was under their noses all day long, except for food, there was no chance to eat anything else, so there was no need to think about it, if there was a problem with food, then there must be a problem with today's food.

Several people were quickly brought up, and they were all escorted to their knees, one by one panicked.

Duan Jing and Feng Hong paced back and forth, carefully examining a few people, and several of them turned pale one by one, kowtowing their heads and explaining: "Lord Feng, little prince, the little ones have never done this kind of thing, even if they give the little ones 10,000 guts, the little ones don't dare to do this kind of headless thing..."

"Yes, Lord Feng, the little ones are all fine after eating this food, and besides, there is no grievance with this prisoner, so why poison her!"

"Does she have any leftovers for today's meal?" Duan Jing said in a cold voice.

Feng Hong said: "She didn't eat much, but there was some left, but those swishing meals were also poured together, and now looking for the past, I'm afraid it's difficult to tell which ones are left by her." ”

Duan Jing frowned, and Feng Hong also rubbed his chin with one hand, as if he was thinking seriously.

Michelle Xia's eyes fell on the prisoner car, and then she found a hairpin in the corner and said, "What is that?" ”

The eyes of several people followed her, and then a guard stepped forward to take it down.

Michelle Xia took the hairpin, put it in her hand and looked at it carefully, but then felt that there was some greasy feeling in her hand, and when she looked carefully, she found some oil stains on the hairpin.

took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and under the eyes of everyone, carefully rubbed the hairpin.

The clean handkerchief soon began to turn yellow, although it was not much, but it was clear that there was a little bit of fishy yellow on it.

"How can there be oil stains on this hairpin? Strange? Feng Hong frowned.

Xia Ziqiong didn't speak immediately, and everyone fell silent for a while.

Then, as if thinking of something, one of the guards suddenly spoke: "Could it be that this hairpin is poisonous, and the prisoner used this hairpin to stir the food and kill himself?" ”

Duanjing narrowed her eyes and said, "You mean she committed suicide?" ”

The man first nodded with bright eyes, then scratched his head and said, "The subordinates are just guessing, and they can't be completely sure." ”

Feng Hong opened his mouth at this time: "It's not impossible to have this possibility, after all, how could she be the only one who is poisoned with the same pot of food, this is really strange." ”

Duan Jing secretly scolded in his heart, good people have let you and Michelle Xia do it, but let me carry the black pot for you here, it's really hateful!

But for the sake of his sister, this time he will be a fool and be used by them once, and next time, see if he will teach this pair of adulterers and adulteresses a lesson!

"It's not simple, as long as you verify whether this hairpin is poisonous, and then investigate the source of this hairpin, won't you be able to determine whether this Chu Luoyi committed suicide?" Michelle Xia said.

Everyone nodded, and Duanjing said to a guard, "You, go get a bowl of water." ”

The guard immediately ran to the moat not far away to scoop up a bowl of water, Michelle Xia took the bowl, and then stirred the water in the bowl with a hairpin for a while, and then said, "Lead a horse to try." ”

The guard brought an old horse, bowed his head and let the horse drink some water from the bowl, and then everyone waited for the horse's reaction.

It wasn't long before the horse twitched, and his eyes began to drift, and in a few moments black blood flowed from his nostrils.

One of the guards suddenly concluded, "Yes! There must be something wrong with this hairpin! ”

"But where did this hairpin come from? How did it appear in the prisoner cart again? Duanjing frowned and said.

"This hairpin should be her unique, I have seen this hairpin on Chu Luoyi, there will be no mistake." Michelle Charity proved.

"So, the prisoner really committed suicide?" Duan Jing opened his mouth suspiciously.

Several people nodded one after another: "It should be so." ”

Everyone fell silent for a while, and there was a suffocating depression in the air, and a guard whispered, "Is this person really Chu Luoyi?" I once saw Chu Luoyi from afar, and it seemed to be exactly like this. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, that Chu Luoyi has died a long time ago, and this matter is not something we can mix."

"But didn't someone say that the queen of Da Chu was the young lady of the Chu family back then?"

"Phew, what do you know, originally I thought the same way, but you see, now that this person has been arrested for so long, the emperor of Da Chu has never moved, and he has no intention of saving her at all, don't the rumors say how the emperor of Da Chu doted on his queen? If this person is really the queen of Da Chu, how can this Beiliuyun not come, so ah, I think this person just looks similar. ”

"Then why did she kill herself by taking poison? There must be a reason, right? ”

"I can't figure it out."

Although the voice was very low, many people still heard it, and naturally it included Michelle Xia.

Listening to their words, Xia Ziqiong sounded an alarm bell in her heart, they were right, this Chu Luoyi had an accident, why did Beiliuyun not appear for a long time, it was indeed a bit abnormal.

Duan Jing kicked twice at the prisoner car at this time, and said angrily: "When you die, you don't forget to pull this king, it's really bad luck for this king!" ”

Everyone's minds were brought back all of a sudden, yes, now that Chu Luo's clothes are poisoned, how are they going to explain to the emperor.

Feng Hong opened his mouth and comforted: "As long as Your Majesty explains this matter, I believe Your Majesty will not blame, after all, none of us thought that this person would actually commit suicide by taking poison." ”

"Let's bury the people first, and then you immediately rush back to Tianshui and report the matter to Your Majesty." Michelle Xia spoke again.

Several guards nodded, like walking in the depths of the forest, digging a pit for a long time, and then a big pit more than two meters long appeared, and several people threw Chu Luoyi down, and then planned to bury the person.

Duan Jing looked at Chu Luoyi in the pit with some concern, frowning, thinking in his heart how to find an excuse to let these people leave.

After thinking about it, Duan Jing has not been able to come up with any way, seeing that most of the soil is paved, he finally couldn't help but speak: "It's almost okay, we have to hurry up, we must immediately report this matter to Your Majesty, otherwise if something is really delayed, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to save our heads." ”

When several guards heard this, they dared to delay, hurriedly filled in some more soil, and threw away the tools in their hands.

Xia Ziqiong squinted at Chu Luoyi in the pit, but she was still relieved, and began to command several guards.

Feng Hong watched her movements and didn't stop them, but Duan Jing frowned secretly, this woman actually started to set up a formation again, so wouldn't her sister's situation be even more dangerous.

There are a lot of trees in the mountains, the terrain is also relatively steep, and the most important thing is that there are many gravels, so with this combination, Xia Ziqiong's arrangement of the formation method is much simpler, and it is also more powerful.

"More than that!" Duanjing really couldn't find any reason to stop it, so he could only speak coldly.

Xia Ziqiong didn't pay attention to it, and still arranged the formation seriously.

Half an hour later, the mountains here, strange rocks, trees and mangosteens are lined up one after another, and it looks a little dazzling.

But only Xia Ziqiong knows that this big array, even if Beiliuyun comes, I am afraid that she will not be able to get out, so, no matter what the turn of this matter is, she believes that Chu Luoyi will not get out alive!

Duanjing was inexplicably irritated by her hand, and he didn't know if his carefully arranged plan would be self-defeating because of this, and he didn't know what Chu Luoyi's life was at this moment, after taking a deep look at Xiang Yu who was standing nearby, Duanjing turned around and left with a heavy heart.

After the group left, Xiang Yu did not leave immediately, and stood in place with a sad expression.
