Hearing what Zhang Dehai said, Liu Qi sat up in shock.

From the last time he returned to Kyoto in Yongcheng to the present, there has always been only one task given to Zhang Dehai, which is to investigate the matter of the queen mother.

"Speak quickly!"

Liu Qi was very eager.

It was learned from Zhang Dehai's dictation.

He followed the condition of the palace maid Xizhu and kept investigating, and finally figured out who the palace maids of Concubine Shun were back then.

Except for Xizhu, the other palace maids all disappeared.

That's right, it's gone, and there's no news at all.

So, Zhang Dehai knew that there must be a problem in this, so he followed this line and found one of them, an old waiter who had an old relationship with the palace maid at that time.

After the old waiter recounted, that night, the palace maid he knew said that she was on duty today and was going to wait for Concubine Shun, but the next day, she was never seen again.

At that time, it was said that they were all blamed by the emperor because of the death of Concubine Shun and were sent home.

But even so, I should have to go back to get my luggage, but I didn't.

Immediately after, Zhang Dehai continued to follow this line and investigated the palace Chinese offering that day, which can be said to have checked a lot of information, and really found strange places.

Because after that day, not only did the palace maids disappear, but even all the cooks in the imperial dining room were all replaced, and there were also a few less imperial doctors in the palace.

There must be something big going on here, there's no doubt about it.

But here's the problem, and the clue is broken.

But for Zhang Dehai, who is extremely eager for power, there is no truth in this world that he cannot investigate.

In the later investigation, Zhang Dehai found that one of the disappeared imperial doctors did not die, but was in Yizhou, and now he is incognito, working barefoot in the village.

That's all for the eyebrows, as for this imperial doctor, it's hard to say what he knows, but basically it can be concluded that he must have some understanding of this matter.

Liu Qi didn't hesitate, when he summoned Qin Wei over and asked him to rush to Yizhou immediately, the reason was to check Yang Wenyuan's remnants, and he must bring the imperial doctor to him secretly.

Also, when doing this, you can't let anyone know.

Qin Wei was still very efficient in doing things, and in less than half a month, he rushed back from Yizhou, and also brought back the imperial doctor that Liu Qixin wanted to see.

The imperial doctor's name was Li Jingzhong, and he was already an old man in his seventies at the time.

When he saw the prince, he was sincerely afraid, as if he had guessed the purpose of the prince looking for him.

The first thing I said was when I opened my mouth.

"Your Highness, the grass people don't know anything!"

Liu Qi was not surprised at all, how could this kind of thing be said casually?

The fewer people who know, the better, and if you leak it casually, you're going to lose your head.

Liu Qi pretended not to be in a hurry, chatted with the old imperial doctor with an indifferent expression, and gradually brought him in.

The old imperial doctor also knew that at this time, it would be difficult not to talk about it.

With a bitter melon-like expression, it looks like he is ready to die. Gritted his teeth, and finally told the truth.

And just after he finished speaking, Liu Qi, who was standing in front of him, shook his body and almost sat directly on the ground.

"Concubine Shun Niangniang, she was poisoned!"

This is indeed the truth that Liu Qi wants to know, but it is the result he least wants to hear.

His own queen mother really did not die a normal death.

But under Liu Qi's last questioning, he didn't know who harmed the queen mother from the mouth of the old imperial doctor.

The only thing I knew was that the person who knew the cause of Concubine Shun's death at that time, in addition to the imperial doctors who consulted them, was Emperor Qing and his personal attendants.

When Concubine Shun was sick, Concubine Shun was already angry, hanging on to the last trace of qi.

In this case, Concubine Shun thought about asking the emperor not to be angry with them, and promised her that she would let them die a good death.

If it weren't for the queen mother's request, such a big secret in the palace that they knew would have already become a fortress by now.

So, who is it, the queen mother who caused the harm?

At this time, I'm afraid only Laifu and my father know, right?

Liu Qi only now understands why everyone in the palace knows that the queen mother died of illness.

Judging from Princess Qingyang's reaction that day, she seems to be clear.

After learning about the queen mother, on the day of arranging the imperial doctor, Liu Qi arrived at Chen's mansion.

After seeing Princess Qingyang, he even went to a separate room. asked Princess Qingyang directly, what was the cause of the queen mother's death?

Princess Qingyang saw that she couldn't hide it, so she said.

She herself didn't know what the cause of Concubine Shun's death was, but when she saw the emperor that day, she heard him swing his sword and shout angrily outside the door, "I'm going to kill them!" I'm going to kill them! ”

Who are the "they" in Emperor Qing's mouth, even if so many years have passed, Princess Qingyang doesn't dare to ask more.

But it is certain that it is definitely because of Concubine Shun's death, and this "they" must also be related to Concubine Shun's death, and it can also be inferred that the emperor knows who murdered Concubine Shun.

Liu Qi nodded, and after saying goodbye to Princess Qingyang, he walked down the street in a carriage.

He thought about it, now that he is in power, if he can't avenge his mother, then what does this prince mean.

So, when he was about to arrive at the East Palace, Liu Qi quickly pulled the curtain and shouted to the coachman in front.

"Turn around, go to Weiyang Palace!"

......

It was already evening, and when he arrived at Weiyang Palace, Emperor Qing was recuperating and recuperating.

After the meeting, Liu Qi directly implored his father and the emperor to let the other people in the house go out temporarily.

Of course, Emperor Qing understood that there was something important to tell him, so without hesitation, he asked Laifu to send all the people in the house out, and explained that within ten meters, there could be no idle people outside the house.

When they arrived in the house, only Liu Qi and Emperor Qing were left.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Qi finally spoke slowly.

"Father, my son came here this time because I want to ask you something, and I ask my father to tell you the truth!"

Emperor Qing half-narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Stinky boy, I haven't told you anything yet, just ask."

However, when Liu Qi spoke, Emperor Qing's expression that was still smiling just now suddenly froze, and his body trembled involuntarily, and it could be seen that he was very excited at this time.

"Father, the son wants to know, how did my queen mother die? The son has already found out a little, and I hope that my father can tell the truth and don't hide it from the child! ”

After speaking, after Liu Qi retreated a few steps, he knelt on the ground with a puff and bowed deeply to Emperor Qing on the bed......
