By the time several imperial doctors arrived in a hurry, Xiao Xi'er was already breathing, and only the smelly white foam remained at the corners of her mouth.

At this time, several cooks had also been brought into the hall.

"Back to the concubine, Xiao Xi'er did die of poisoning." An imperial doctor walked into the room and said to Concubine Liu with his head bowed.

"Can you find out what kind of poison it is?" Concubine Liu asked.

"In terms of taste, it should be arsenic." The Imperial Physician replied, but quickly continued, "However, it is also possible that it is not my Central Plains thing. ”

Concubine Liu was afraid that Lu Bu would explode again, so she had to hold back her anger and pointed to the wine and food on the table.

"You can take these dishes and find out what this poison is as soon as possible."

"The villain obeys." The Imperial Physician agreed.

With the help of the palace maids, these drinks and dishes were soon taken away by the imperial doctors.

The cooks kneeling at the foot of the steps all looked panicked and suspicious of each other.

"Concubine Niangniang, can you hand these people over to the Yamen of the Criminal Department for trial?" Caiju asked in a low voice.

"Why do you have to make such a big move, wait for the villain to judge." Lu Bu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, said loudly, and then walked down the steps quickly.

Concubine Liu did not stop it.

Lu Bu stood in front of several people, carefully observing their faces, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the arm of one of them, forcibly dragging him up.

"What grievances do you have with the concubine, why do you want to do this?"

The cook had already been frightened and trembled, his face was pale, and he waved his hand again and again, "The villain is wronged, the villain has been in the palace for many years, and he has been in the imperial dining room, how can he ever have a gap with the concubine?" ”

Lu Bu deliberately shook his arm vigorously.

There was a strange sound in the man's arm, and it fell down in an instant, and his face was covered with sweat.

Lu Bu was sure that this person was definitely not the one who assassinated Concubine Liu that night, so he pushed him to the ground.

Lu Bu used the same method, and it didn't take long to rule out the suspicion of several people.

Could it be that the person who poisoned the poison and the man are not the same person?

Looking at the dislocated arms of several people and the painful expressions, Lu Bu thought about it quickly.

"Did anyone ever go while you were waiting to cook?" Lu Bu asked.

"Please also ask the general to reset our arms first." A slightly younger man turned pale from torture and cried out in a loud voice.

Lu Bu didn't want to embarrass them, so he helped them restore their arm bones to their original positions.

"The imperial dining room is a forbidden place in the palace, and it is impossible for outsiders to enter."

The pain was gone, and a cook replied, crawling on his knees for half a step.

The other suddenly remembered something.

"Back to the general, there is indeed a person who has come to the imperial dining room, but when he has nothing to do, he often goes to play with the villains, so the villains don't care."

"Who is this?" Without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, Concubine Liu had already asked loudly.

"Returning to the concubine Niangniang, it is the little eunuch Qiao Xi." The cook replied.

Concubine Liu, who had already stood up, suddenly felt disappointed and sat back down.

"Qiao Xinai is the person next to Yang Yi, although this son is stubborn, but he is quite likable, since he grew up in the palace, everyone has a lot of good feelings for him, and he is still young, how can he be this poisoned person?" Concubine Liu said.

Lu Bu naturally didn't believe it.

"Who else?"

The cooks looked at each other, and finally, they just shook their heads.

At this moment, the emperor, who heard the news, hurried over.

When everyone saw the emperor, they fell to their knees.

"When the son-in-law heard this, he was shocked, is the queen mother okay?" The emperor ignored these people and asked Concubine Liu eagerly.

"I want the emperor to remember, there has been nothing wrong with the mourning family." Concubine Liu said with a smile.

The Emperor was relieved.

"Do you ever know who the murderer is?"

Concubine Liu pointed to the few cooks who were kneeling on the ground.

"Come on, quickly take these people to the yamen of the Criminal Department, hand them over to Shen Aiqing for strict interrogation, and be sure to find out the murderer." The Emperor was furious and shouted outside.

The eunuch on duty who followed immediately called the warriors of the forbidden army and took them out.

"Today is a day of great joy for Lord Shen, can the emperor hand over these people to other yamen?" Concubine Liu said.

The emperor was not impressed.

"Everything must be done with the affairs of the state as the priority, and such a major matter cannot be delayed."

Concubine Liu smiled bitterly.

"Wait and stand down, I want to sit alone with the queen mother for a while." The emperor then waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

Lu Bu also stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Concubine Liu. 33

Only then did the emperor find out that Lu Bu was actually mixed among the palace maids and eunuchs, and he couldn't help frowning.

"I heard that Tang Zhuangshi followed Bao Aiqing to Chuzhou, why is he here?"

Lu Bu had already thought of his words, so he replied unhurriedly, "Lord Feng Bao sent me to come back to attend Lord Shen's wedding. Enter the palace today......"

"General Tang was declared into the palace by the mourning family." Before Lu Bu finished speaking, Concubine Liu interrupted Lu Bu's words and said, "It's all because the mourning family has gone out of the palace several times, and they are all escorted by General Tang, and the mourning family is very grateful, and they asked him to come just to express their gratitude." If it weren't for General Tang's carefulness, the emperor would probably never see the mourning family again. ”

Although the emperor was a little skeptical, he didn't dare to refute Concubine Liu's words, so he nodded with a smile, "I know that Tang Zhuangshi rushed to Chuzhou this time and made great contributions again, and he is still thinking about how to reward you." Now that I'm back, I'll stay a few more days and help me catch the man who wants to kill the queen mother. ”

The emperor's words were exactly what Lu Bu and Concubine Liu wanted.

"The villain interrogated those cooks and found that a little eunuch named Qiao Xi had entered the imperial dining room, but I don't know what this person looks like, can he call and ask." Lu Bu immediately said.

"General Tang, the mourning family has already said that this Qiao Xi is just a child and will not do such a thing." Concubine Liu still didn't want to believe it and said.

The emperor thought for a moment.

"Queen Mother, although Qiao Xi is just a child, it is inevitable that someone will use it, or someone will instruct it, so it's better to call and ask."

Concubine Liu nodded helplessly.

was about to send someone to look for Qiao Xi, when suddenly, a palace maid outside ran in.

"Long live Qiyu and Concubine Niangniang, there is Chief Yang Yi outside asking to see you."

"This Yang Yi is Qiao Xi's master, it's good to ask him." Concubine Liu said.

The emperor knew this Yang Yi and knew that this person was quite trusted by his mother, so he nodded and said "Xuan".

As soon as Yang Yi came in, he fell to his knees and kept wiping his tears.

"Long live, concubine Niangniang, the slave is here to report the funeral. Fang Cai's slave heard that someone wanted to harm the concubine Niangniang, so he rushed to visit, and when he went back, he found that Qiao Xi had also been poisoned and died, and his symptoms were similar to Xiao Xi'er. ”

The emperor was shocked.

Concubine Liu also stood up in surprise.

Lu Bu came to Yang Yi with an arrow, reached out with one hand and grabbed Yang Yi's wrist, forcing him to look at his face: "Have you ever seen the shadow of the person who poisoned him?" ”

Yang Yi looked very frightened and shook his head again and again.

"General Tang let it go, when the slave went back, Qiao Xi was already dead, and I really didn't see who did it."

Lu Bu didn't speak, but the hand that grabbed Yang Yi shook slightly.

A backlash made Lu Bu suddenly feel that this Yang Yi was very suspicious, but Lu Bu didn't say it immediately, and he must have been unspeakable about that night.

Some people died, but not completely......
