Chapter 471: Scared the baby to death
Everyone who heard the bell was shocked.
When the bell rings, the most honorable person must be dead.
Xi Yang didn't care about the medicinal materials in his hand, and immediately ran towards the bedroom: "Change clothes, enter the palace!" β
She didn't know who died, but whoever died, she was going to go.
In case of......
Is it the little emperor?
Cai Qing is also very nervous, and the speed of dressing for her is very fast, but fortunately, she has been "mourning" recently, and she doesn't need to dress up gorgeously, she can simply go out.
The clothes were dressed, and the bell stopped.
Xiao Luzi was familiar with this, and hurriedly said: "Princess, there are eight sounds." This specification should be the Queen Mother, or...... Grand empress dowager? β
Hearing this, Xi Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn, scared the baby to death.
As long as it's not a little emperor, everyone else dies and dies, it doesn't matter.
However, Zong Zhengyu grew up under the knees of the Empress Dowager, who is her titular mother-in-law. The mother-in-law is dead, and as a daughter-in-law, she still has to enter the palace.
It's just that there's no need to rush too much.
Entering the palace, Zongzheng, who is a filial grandson, has already handled the funeral of the empress dowager.
All the staff are vegetarian.
Seeing Xi Yang coming, Zong Zhengxun's immature face tightened, and said, "The imperial aunt came to take a look, the imperial grandmother was probably poisoned to death." β
Xi Yang is not surprised.
It's only been a few days since the Chongyang Palace banquet? At that time, the Empress Dowager's body was still very good, and in less than two months, no one suddenly disappeared, there was only one possibility-
Assassinated!
There is no legend that an assassin has entered the palace, so there is only one possibility left: poisoning!
She walked to the coffin and carefully observed the body of the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that she was not afraid of the dead, she touched her hands directly, and Zong Zhengxun was very impressed.
Xi Yang checked for a while and said, "Yes, he was indeed poisoned to death." And this poison is also common, that is, arsenic. β
She pointed to the empress dowager's jaw and said, "It's poison that was violently choked around the neck and poured down, and there are fingerprints on both sides of the chin." β
"The Empress Dowager should have struggled, and struggled very hard, and there was still blood and broken skin on her nails."
"The Empress Dowager has a bruise on her heart with palm prints, and she should have broken three sternums to the touch."
"Preliminarily, there is only one possibility that can accomplish these things without alarming the rest of her palace, and perfectly hide after the Empress Dowager dies - it must be a familiar face! This is one of them. β
"Second, the person who poisons the Queen Mother will definitely do martial arts."
She looked up at Zong Zhengxun and said, "Your Majesty, have all the matters to be investigated been arranged?" β
Zong Zhengxun nodded: "As soon as I heard about this, I immediately ordered someone to seal off the palace, and I was only allowed to enter and leave. β
He looked at Xi Yang and felt a little remorseful: "No one ever thought that there would be an accident on the imperial grandmother's side, and there would be such a thing if there were not enough guards." β
Xi Yang pursed her lips.
She didn't want to attack Zong Zhengxun, after all, he was young and his methods were not mature enough, and now this mess was going to be on top of him, which was already quite difficult for him.
As for why Zong Zhengyu didn't secretly send someone to protect the Empress Dowager?
Do you need to ask!
In order to make him have a good life and assist the Zongzheng consultation, he was poisoned with a hundred zhang ice, so that he could not live to be thirty years old and could not affect the imperial power.
That Baizhang Bing is either under Emperor Mingde and his wife, or the Empress Dowager!
The power currently has no family affection, and it is the most ruthless emperor's family.
Zong Zhengxun said: "Since the incident has happened, it is useless to regret not being at the beginning. However, who is so bold as to poison the Empress Dowager, I must find out! β
Xi Yang wanted to say: Actually, you don't need to check much, you can probably guess the result, it must be someone from Zong Zhengyuan's side.
But as soon as the words came to her mouth, she saw Zong Zhengyuan leading a group of her sons over.
She said quietly: "Those with vested interests are the most suspicious." β
Zong Zhengxun also looked at Zong Zhengyuan.
After a while, Zong Zhengyuan had already walked in front of them, he showed a sad expression, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the festival is smooth. β
The Empress Dowager is his sister-in-law, so he has nothing to mourn.
But the emperor is the grandson of the empress dowager, can he not mourn?
Zong Zhengxun just heard Xi Yang's words, and the immediate thing that came to mind was Zong Zhengyuan. I didn't expect people to come.
He didn't say anything suspicious of Zong Zhengyuan, but said indifferently: "Uncle Huang, you are the auxiliary king, and you will handle this national funeral." β
Xi Yang was slightly surprised.
Sure enough, the little milk wolf is the little milk wolf, not some clear and stupid little fart.
He's still quite black-bellied.
The auxiliary king was set up by the emperor by force, and in political affairs, the little emperor has been isolated, and Zong Zhengxun is naturally unwilling to do so.
His approach has the meaning of "since you want to take care of everything, then these things will naturally belong to you".
Can you not let yourself be tired, never move an extra finger!
If it weren't for the inopportune timing, Xi Yang really wanted to give him a thumbs up.
Zong Zhengyuan couldn't say nothing, so he had to take it: "The emperor is young, and this kind of work is handed over to the minister, and the minister should do it himself." β
Zong Zhengxun nodded solemnly and glanced at the people who were following Zong Zhengyuan.
According to his generation, he has to be called a group of people from his cousin.
Especiallyβ
Zong Zhengyou!
Thinking that Zong Zhengyou was likely to be his imperial uncle, his mood was a little gloomy.
But he didn't have any emotions on his face that shouldn't have it, only the sadness for the death of the Empress Dowager: "Uncle Huang, as an auxiliary king, the guards in the palace of the imperial grandmother are not good, should this matter also be blamed on you?" β
Zong Zhengyuan was slightly stunned.
He knew that the child looked weak, but ...... Zong Zhengyu taught it strictly, no matter how weak it is, how weak can it be?
Recently, he has been forced to hand over power, and he has not done much against himself.
What's the matter, all of a sudden, it's backstabbing again?
He said: "Your Majesty, the minister is an auxiliary king, and the guards of the harem are not the responsibility of the minister. β
Zong Zhengxun sneered: "In the past, when my imperial uncle was regent, this kind of thing was never allowed to happen. If it did, he would never say anything that had nothing to do with him! Uncle Huang, what do you think? β
mentioned Zong Zhengyu, Zong Zhengyuan's face was ugly.
Zong Zhengxun said: "If the imperial uncle is still here, how can he allow such a thing to happen?" β
As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Xi Yang silently praised in his heart: I didn't expect you to be such a little milk wolf!
At first glance, it is simple and kind, and the milk is whirring.
If you look seriously, a wolf is a wolf!
Even cubs are carnivores and have fangs!
Zong Zhengyuan is not a person with superior IQ, he has relied on Zong Zhengyou's brain to get to this day.
Therefore, when faced with such a political inquiry, he couldn't think of what to say for a while.
Zong Zhengyou took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Father, what the emperor said is right, it is time to find out what kind of person ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to kill under the palace." Today is the Queen Mother, will it be someone else tomorrow? Hence ......"
In such a short period of time, he thought of a method that was extremely beneficial to him: "Father reorganize the Praetorian Guard, and let Yu Linwei make adjustments." β
In a simple sentence, I want to take the forbidden army and Yu Linwei into my pocket!
Zong Zhengxun's face turned pale.
Xi Yang also knew that if he didn't make a move, his little nephew would be bullied and cry!
