197, deep palace maze
By the time the imperial doctor arrived, Zhu Zifeng was already dead.
The next thing is to find a servant to examine the injury, and then notify the people of the Zhu family to wait outside the palace gate to pick up the body.
Chu Yue's hands were neat and did not leave any flaws, and he could also detect that the cause of Zhu Zifeng's death was that he was stabbed by a chicken bone and suffocated by blood.
But according to the process, you still have to check whether the Zhuzi seal is poisoned.
He took out a rectangular silver medal, put it in Zhu Zifeng's mouth, and sealed his mouth with talisman paper.
A quarter of an hour later, he took out the silver medal, but it was covered with a conspicuous layer of dark blue, indicating that Zhu Zifeng was most likely not suffocated by blood jam, but was poisoned.
The palace people hurriedly called Wu Shiwei to find out the real cause of Zhu Zifeng's death.
After some inspection, Wu Shiyin said confidently: "There are only a small amount of blood stains in the trachea, and there is no food residue, which means that he did not die of suffocation." The deceased's tongue coating was black, the epiglottis was swollen, his face was plum-green, and there were varying degrees of oozing blood at the ends of his limbs.
He looked at the dinner that had not yet had time to finish Zhu Zifeng, probed the silver needle into it, and took a small part and put it in a bowl filled with water to dissolve.
After careful examination, I became more sure of my speculation.
After the cause of Zhu Zifeng's death was confirmed, Chu Yuezhi went to Li Mobai to restore his life.
He described the incident to him as it was, and Li Mobai pondered for a moment after hearing it, and said:
"You mean, there are people besides me who want him dead?"
Wei Chen had already detained all the jailers on duty that day and questioned them one by one, but he couldn't ask anything strange. Zhu Zifeng's last meal was made for him by several jailers who scraped together some money to ask the imperial chef to cook for him privately. The imperial chef has nothing to do with Zhu Zifeng, and it will not be his poison. ”
Li Mobai's knuckles tapped on the dragon case, and said thoughtfully: "Who poisoned and how to poison it, let's put this matter aside first." I find something else strange. Zhu Zifeng relied on his family power, and it was not a day or two to be a powerful man in Jiangdu. In recent years, the Zhu family has become more and more powerful, how many pairs of eyes are staring at their mistakes in the dark, if he is not an idiot, he should know to rein in his edge at this time.
He fell in love with the second girl of the Sun family who insulted the innocence of others, and he was lustful, so I didn't think it was strange to do this impulsively. Later, because the Sun family did not give up, he was sent to prison with a grudge, and he could figure it out if he wanted to set fire to scare Sun Jiazhen. But what I don't understand is that he has just been released from prison, why does he dare to lock the door of the Sun family's mansion and burn them alive? He should know that the accumulation of public resentment will put pressure on the imperial court, and even if he can save his life, the Zhu family will suffer a heavy blow because of it. ”
Chu Yuezhi understood the meaning of his words, "So the emperor thinks that he doesn't have the heart to kill the Sun family?" ”
"It's not that he doesn't, but he doesn't dare."
"Then why did the emperor let Weichen personally send him on the road? Zhu Daren's military power has been delivered, and the emperor has promised him that he will let Zhu Zifeng live a way. ”
"I never wanted him to live."
Li Mobai was playing with two topaz dragon balls in his hands, his eyes were gloomy, "Zhu Hongchuan's ambition is obvious, Zhu Zifeng is in the name of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and he has been in trouble for a long time, and I have long wanted to clean him up." Now that I've hit the door, I'm self-assured. As for Zhu Hongchuan, he saw the corpse of his son, if he was interested, I could also read it for the sake of him and his mother, giving the Zhu family a way to live. If he doesn't understand it......"
He paused, and suddenly the dragon ball was raised high, letting it fall freely, and smashing on the dragon case with a 'bang' sound,
"I'll send him on his way."
At the moment when the dragon ball was about to fall from the dragon case to the ground, Chu Yuezhi reached out and quickly caught it and placed it firmly on the tray, "Wu Shiyin and Weichen said that he has a way to hide the toxins in Zhu Zi's sealed body, so that other tricks can't detect traces of poisoning." The body was returned to the Zhu Mansion, and the Lord Zhu will also order the search for an autopsy. Can the emperor ask Wu Shiyin to do things? ”
"Not necessarily." Li Mobai waved his hand with open sleeves and said in a fixed voice: "Assuming that on the night of the fire in the Sun family, the gate of the Sun Mansion was not the lock sealed by Zhu Zi, then the purpose of the person who did this was to burn the Sun family to death, causing public resentment to spread, and forcing me to execute Zhu Zifeng, the only incense of the Zhu family, and break with the Zhu family." And seeing that I had negotiated with Zhu Hongchuan on the conditions to release the person, he took a step earlier to poison Zhu Zifeng, and even made the Zhu family hate me for being a ruthless and unrighteous person. ”
"It is precisely because of this that the emperor should let Wu Shiyin know that Zhu Zi sealed the poison in his body, and did not let Lord Zhu find out the clues."
"The person who stirred up trouble wasted so much effort, and there will definitely be actions in the follow-up. What's the hurry? He instructed Chu Yuezhi, "Let the dark guards keep an eye on the Zhu family for the past two days to see who they have come into contact with and who is suspicious." ”
"Does the emperor suspect that all this is a chess game set up by thieves behind the scenes, in order to use the power of the Zhu family to win them over and plot rebellion?"
The silhouette projected under the flickering candle flame swayed on Li Mobai's side face, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said solemnly: "Do as you are told, don't show your feet." ”

Hearing the news that Zhu Zi was sealed in the palace, the Zhu family was full of grief.
Although the queen's only younger brother seems to be naughty in her eyes, her relationship with her has been very close since childhood.
A few days ago, the big living person who was still alive and kicking passed away suddenly, and the queen was sad.
She cried and asked Li Mobai to beg him to let her leave the palace and return to her home, so that she could send her brother on his last journey.
Li Mobai rejected her request on the grounds that she was the queen and could not leave the palace easily, and only allowed her to close the palace door and worship in her own palace when she was in the first seven.
At this time, whether it was her or the Queen Mother, Li Mobai would not allow them to leave the palace.
Also worried about this matter is Shen Ci's worries.
Unlike them, her worries did not arise at all because of Zhu Zifeng, but she was worried about the chain reaction that his death would trigger.
I remember that when she first came to Qi Dynasty, what she was most afraid of was that her appearance would change the trajectory of history, which would cause serious consequences.
Now, her biggest fear has become the fear that history will happen in front of her eyes step by step.
The so-called is not broken and does not stand, if she wants Li Mobai to survive the catastrophe, she can only forcibly change every historical event that is unfavorable to Li Mobai.
During the dinner together, Li Mobai originally didn't plan to do this kind of bloody thing, but seeing Shen Ci's worried appearance, and he kept muttering in his heart how to help himself, Li Mobai suddenly felt a warm heart.
This stupid girl, I don't know when she started, she was already full of herself.
He pinched Shen Ci's earrings and asked her with a smile, "What do you want?" ”
"Your Majesty...... Was Zhu Zifeng really stuck to death by chicken bones? She asked.
"Of course not, it's rare in the world to die in such a comical way."
Li Mobai didn't hide it from her, and confessed everything to her.
After Shen Ci worriedly listened, his tense nerves relaxed slightly, "So the emperor has decided to beware of the Zhu family, right?" ”
"What is the use of being vigilant at the extremes of villains? I only give him one chance, and if he dares to make any other moves, I will wish the family a full house to the ground. ”
Fortunately, Li Mobai took a firm stance this time, and the Zhu family should not be able to calculate anything about him.
However, after this incident, she was more interested in the identity of the thief behind the scenes.
Everything seems to be in his calculations, what kind of strange man is he?
