Qu Cairen was silent for a while when he heard this, and then he pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "What you said is right, I did want to pull that mother and son into hell with my own hands, but who let them have so many people around them, even if I want to die with them, I can't do it." ”

"If I really go directly to fight with them, I'm afraid that I will be taken down by the people around them before I even reach them, and revenge or something will become a joke at that time."

"Although poisoning is not as refreshing as strangling them with my own hands or seeing them die in front of me, poisoning is much safer. And the poison I asked people to find was the kind of poison that was very painful after eating, so it wasn't cheap for her. ”

After Qu Cairen finished speaking, he looked at Lian Yongwang with burning eyes, and continued: "According to my palace maid, the kind of poison she found is the herb poison of the intestines, and the person who is poisoned will be like a knife in the abdomen, and the pain will be unbearable, was the dead girl in pain at that time?" ”

Lian Yongwang nodded, "The second princess was indeed quite painful when she died. ”

After Qu Cairen heard Lian Yongwang's answer, he laughed, "That's good, in this case, even if I die, I won't lose." ”

Lian Yongwang took this opportunity to continue to ask, "Why did you go to the Imperial Garden when you were more than eight months pregnant?" Have you ever thought that if you hadn't gone to the Imperial Garden, maybe your child wouldn't have died? ”

Qu Cairen was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and after a long time, so long that even Yongwang thought that Qu Cairen would not answer, Qu Cairen opened his mouth and said: "Of course I have thought about it, and I have regretted more than once why I went to the Imperial Garden, but what is the use of regret, regret can't save my child, the only thing I can do is to avenge my child." ”

Lian Yongwang didn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he asked again, "Then why did you go to the Imperial Garden at that time?" ”

Qu Cairen thought for a while and said: "I have always liked peach blossoms, the weather was good that day, and I heard Zijin say that the peach blossoms in the imperial garden were scorching and blooming one by one, thinking that the imperial doctor said that I had a good pregnancy, so I got up to go to the imperial garden to see the peach blossoms......"

It's the palace maid named Zijin again!

Lian Yongwang thought to himself that she needed to interrogate the palace maid named Zijin again to see if she could dig out any more useful information from her mouth.

Lian Yongwang came out of Qu Cairen's Yutang Zhai and walked to the inner court prison where Zijin was held.

The inner court prison is a prison in the palace dedicated to the detention of the palace maids and eunuchs who have made mistakes, located in the northwest corner of the palace, the place is not big, only occupies a small corner of the northwest corner of the palace, from the outside it is an ordinary small courtyard, but the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are all avoided here.

The inner court prison is mainly located underground, and there are many torture instruments placed in the dark, and many people may tremble when they see these torture instruments.

As soon as Lian Yongwang walked outside the courtyard of the Inner Court Prison, Yuan En walked out of the courtyard hungry.

Yuan En was a little anxious on his face, and as soon as he saw Lian Yongwang, he said, "Master, it's not good, the palace maid named Zijin is gone." ”

Lian Yongwang's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, he had just discovered that this palace maid named Zijin was a key person, and she actually committed suicide in the inner court prison.

"When?" Lian Yongwang asked.

Yuan En replied: "Just now, I committed suicide by taking poison." ”

"Where did the poison come from?" Everyone who was imprisoned in the inner court would be searched before entering, and if Zijin had poison hidden on his body, it was impossible for them not to find it when they searched his body.

Yuan En's face became darker and darker, and he whispered: "Before the person named Zijin was imprisoned, he was searched by Tu'er, and there was indeed nothing on his body, but when he searched her body, Tu'er Zhi searched her body, and he didn't notice that in her mouth, the poison was hidden in her teeth and brought in. ”

Hiding poison in the teeth This is a common method used by some killer organizations or some forces on the rivers and lakes to cultivate dead soldiers, and they have not encountered such a method of hiding poison in their teeth in the palace, so Yuan En is actually not to blame for this incident.

Even if Yongwang knew that Yuan En could not be blamed for this incident, as long as they thought of the death of this named Zijin, their clues were all broken, and Lian Yongwang couldn't help but scold Yuan En twice.

After scolding, Lian Yongwang went to the prison to check Zijin's corpse again, wanting to see if he could find a clue from her corpse.

But to Lian Yongwang's disappointment, she didn't find anything.

Lian Yongwang stood up and asked Yuan En, "Let's take a good look at who she had contact with before she committed suicide." ”

Although the hope of finding out anything is very slim, he has no other way at the moment, but he can only check here for the time being.

But just as Lian Yongwang thought, Zijin had not been in contact with anyone at all before committing suicide, and no one from the Inner Court Prison had ever appeared in front of her.

Lian Yongwang and Yuan Eun spent another two or three days trying to find new clues from other places, but they never found anything.

When Luo Chengjing and Lian Yongwang asked about the progress of the matter, Lian Yongwang could only tell the truth: "At present, I only know that there may be another master behind the palace maid next to Qu Cairen, but other villains have not found out." ”

Luo Chengjing was not surprised that there was another master behind Zijin, he nodded and said, "Since you can't find out for a while, then hand it over to Liu Dahai and let him check it slowly." ”

Liu Dahai is the chief eunuch of the Inner Court Prison, and the entire Inner Court Prison is in charge of him.

Lian Yongwang didn't want to hand over to him the things he couldn't find out, which showed that he was very incompetent, but he had to serve in front of the emperor, and it was impossible to spend all day investigating this matter, so in the end, as the emperor said, he handed over this matter to Liu Dahai.

The people in the harem who paid attention to the follow-up of the second princess's poisoning knew that after Qu Cairen was placed under house arrest, they all felt that the poisoning of the second princess must be related to Qu Cairen, but everyone waited for a few days but did not wait for the emperor's follow-up actions, as if only Qu Cairen was under house arrest.

The second princess is very favored by the emperor, but Qu Cairen killed her but was only under house arrest, which made everyone in the harem wonder whether the emperor's previous favor for the second princess was true.

In the Linglong Pavilion, Lu Yuning finished practicing and put down the pen.

Qing Dai stepped forward to help Lu Yuning knead her wrist, and said to Lu Yuning with some curiosity: "Master, what do you think the emperor thinks?" Why is it just that Qu Cairen is placed under house arrest, and there is no other will? Was the poisoning of the second princess done by Qu Cairen? ”
