Chapter 68: Horse's Feet

When Lu Mingwei woke up, she sat on the edge of Lu Mingwei's bed, holding Lu Mingwei's hand with some guilt and sadness: "I'm really sorry, I'm really useless, but as long as I can be of some use, you don't have to suffer so much." ”

is also a princess, her weight is not enough, if she is as favored as the ninth princess, even if Lu Mingwei can't be released from the Shen Criminal Division, she definitely doesn't have to suffer so much.

Lu Mingwei just woke up, and she still had a headache, she was in the Shen Criminal Division recently, in fact, the biggest difficulty was not the punishment, after all, although those eunuchs were vicious, they didn't dare to torture her to death, what really made her suffer was that those eunuchs didn't let her sleep.

Every time she was about to fall asleep or had fallen asleep, the eunuchs would deliberately make all sorts of noises to torment her and wake her up.

She has been in a situation where she can't sleep and can't sleep well for a long time, and the whole person is about to collapse from torture, often feeling a splitting headache, and at the worst time, even the eyeballs seem to pop out of the sockets.

If this kind of time continues for a while, I am afraid that if she can't wait for Cui Minglou to save her, she will no longer be able to do it.

Now seeing the tears of the seventh princess, Lu Mingwei's reaction was much slower than usual, and after a while, she shook her head: "No, it's no wonder Your Highness, Your Highness doesn't want to take any responsibility on yourself." ”

Someone deliberately framed her, and the seventh princess herself was just a princess who pampered mediocre, how could she save her?

That being said, but the seventh princess was still very guilty, and in the end she sat here with Lu Mingwei for a long time before leaving.

As soon as she left, Princess Zhou came over.

Princess Zhou has now taken over the palace affairs, so she is naturally the fastest to receive the news about Lu Mingwei's release, and when she sees Lu Mingwei, she can't help but feel a little distressed: "Why is it so badly injured?" Those people are too bold! ”

She also loves the house and Wu, Cui Minglou made it clear that Lu Mingwei would not marry in the future, the group of people in the Criminal Justice Department were really bold, and they dared to treat Lu Mingwei like this!

Thinking of this, Princess Zhou's heart moved.

The Shen Criminal Division is not a fool, Lu Mingwei, the daughter of a delicate noble family, will poison Empress Dowager Cui unless she is crazy, so why do they still toss Lu Mingwei so much?

Who's going to do that?

Lu Mingwei wanted to get up and salute, but was held down by Princess Zhou.

Princess Zhou frowned: "Your body is like this, what are you doing when you get up?" Let's get some rest. ”

asked Lu Mingwei in a low voice: "Do you have anything you want to say?" ”

In fact, I wanted to ask Lu Mingwei if she had any discoveries, after all, Lu Mingwei was notoriously smart, and she was locked up in the Shen Criminal Division during this time, with Xie Shanggong and Mama Wenhua, so if there was really anything boring, Lu Mingwei would definitely be able to detect it.

Since Princess Zhou would ask such a question, she must be sure that the people around her are reliable.

Lu Mingwei tightened her hand, lowered her voice and said quickly: "Actually, in the Shen Criminal Division, they didn't interrogate us much, although they were interrogated every day, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry, but they repeatedly interrogated me, Xie Shanggong and Mama Wenhua. ”

That sounds unremarkable.

But listening closely makes people shudder.

Xie Shanggong and Mama Wenhua are the most trusted people in front of Empress Dowager Cui.

However, they were reasonably locked up by the Criminal Justice Division and interrogated all the time.

Although nothing came out of cross-examination.

So for what?

Is it deliberately delaying so that they and Lu Mingwei can't return to the Ci'en Palace?

That is to say, in fact, the real focus is still in the Palace of Mercy and Grace.

The thing that caused the Empress Dowager Cui's accident was still in the Ci'en Palace!

Princess Zhou glanced at Lu Mingwei deeply, did not dare to delay at all, shook Lu Mingwei's hand, and left.

She is now in charge of palace affairs, and she is the niece of Empress Dowager Cui, and it is natural for her to serve Empress Dowager Cui.

Even Queen Shao couldn't pick anything out that wasn't coming.

Empress Shao doesn't have the heart to trouble her now, and now the affairs of the Shao family are enough for Empress Shao to be anxious.

The matter of Mrs. Shao became more and more troublesome in the court, and everyone felt that the Shao family was really undignified and deceitful to compete with the people for profit, and the call for punishment in the court and the center was getting louder and louder.

Emperor Yongchang is not going to the palace of Empress Shao now.

Even if Empress Shao was sick, he didn't go over.

When Princess Zhou arrived at the Ci'en Palace, she first looked at all the people who were waiting in the Ci'en Palace.

happened to meet someone from the imperial pharmacy coming to deliver medicine, Princess Zhou's mind moved, and she asked: "Who is serving the Queen Mother to take medicine now?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and bent down respectfully and replied: "Back to the princess's words, it has always been the little prince who has been waiting for the queen mother to take medicine. ”

In other words, after the accident, Cui Minglou personally served the Empress Dowager Cui to take medicine.

She raised an eyebrow: "What about before that?" ”

"Before, it was Xie Shanggong and Mama Wenhua, as well as Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess and Second Miss Lu, who also personally fed the Queen Mother." The little eunuch didn't dare to look up with the tray: "I dare to feed it to the Queen Mother after tasting it." ”

In that case, it's not so much a matter of medicine and food.

Because these things are all eaten by the people below before they are fed to the Empress Dowager Cui.

Since it's not a matter of eating.

It's not a matter of medicine either.

How did Empress Dowager Cui get poisoned?

She got up and went to the Sentencing Division.

Cui Minglou heard that she was coming, and soon came out to meet her.

Princess Zhou first glanced at him with concern: "I didn't delay your trial, right?" ”

Cui Minglou shook his head: "I haven't reviewed anything now, I'm just consulting the previous file to see if there is anything missing." ”

Princess Zhou thought about it, took out Lu Mingwei's words and told Cui Minglou as well, seeing Cui Minglou's contemplative face, she couldn't help but say: "I have thought about it for a long time, in addition to taking medicine and poisoning, what else can make people unconsciously do their hands and feet?" ”

Cui Minglou's eyes were a little strange: "Not only that, but it also has to be Mama Wenhua and Xie Shanggong that it doesn't affect them when they leave, the poison of the Queen Mother is getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid there are other reasons." ”

Therefore, the trial of Lu Mingwei and Mama Wenhua was very relaxed.

Because they didn't expect to find anything out of Lu Mingwei, they just wanted to torture Lu Mingwei to death.

Cui Minglou smiled: "It seems that my guess is right." ”

What's right?

Princess Zhou looked at him: "Did you think of something?" ”

"yes." Cui Minglou suddenly smiled: "I have to send Eunuch Liu away." ”

What?!

How can this be said that the bull's head is not the right horse's mouth, she was originally talking about poisoning, why did Cui Minglou suddenly say that he wanted to send Liu Gonggong away?
