According to the Queen Mother, Qingping is her most trusted palace maid, could it be that Qingping was poisoned.

"Dead?" The emperor was furious.

Yu Linwei knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, yes, it was the dereliction of duty of his subordinates who failed to find out that this palace maid was hiding poison in the soles of her shoes, so that she could find an opportunity to commit suicide by taking poison." ”

"Hiding drugs in the soles of your shoes? Did you find out what kind of poison it was? The emperor asked.

"It's a very small bottle with some poison in it, and the subordinates are stupid enough to find out what kind of poison it is."

Yulin Guard.

"Where is the poison bottle, I'll take a look." Meng Nanxing said.

When Yu Linwei heard this, he immediately asked his subordinates to bring out the plate containing the poison bottle.

"This small bottle was found on the sole of the dead palace maid's shoe, and there is still a little poison in it." Yu Linwei, who was the leader, said.

"The little one just fed a little bit of this poison to the rats, and the rats died immediately, and the subordinates were incompetent and couldn't tell what kind of poison it was." He said.

Meng Nanxing put on the leather gloves he had made, picked up the vial, and sniffed the incendiary breath.

"It's oleander, and it's the same poison as the Queen Mother."

The emperor put his hands behind his back and had a serious expression: "Is it really her?" ”

"Why did Qingping harm the Queen Mother, according to what the Queen Mother said, she regarded Qingping as a confidant, and she was naturally not bad to Qingping, could there be someone behind her?" Meng Nanxing asked.

The emperor snorted coldly, in the depths of the harem, there are many such things, and it is not possible to guarantee that Concubine Rong's poison is also caused by the palace maids around her.

"Your Majesty, what about the few suspects in that prison." Yu Linwei asked.

The emperor thought for a while and said: "Since the murderer has committed suicide in fear of crime, the three imperial doctors will be acquitted, and the other four palace maids will continue to interrogate and ask Qingping who she has been in contact with on weekdays, and see if you can find the person behind Qingping." ”

"Jin Hui, do you go back to the Longevity Palace first, or accompany me here to interrogate other palace maids." The emperor asked.

Meng Nanxing was of course interested in the interrogation, and she also wanted to know what was going on with this Qingping.

Oleander is a poison that only grows in the south, and there is no such thing here, and a palace maid has no chance to touch this plant unless someone gives it to her.

In the interrogation room of the cell, Meng Nanxing and Xiao Yan sat at the table, and a palace maid sat on the ground with her hands tied.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is innocent, the slave maid doesn't know anything, the queen mother's poison is really not under the slave maid..."

The emperor slapped the table, and the palace maid kneeling on the ground immediately twitched.

"The murderer who poisoned you has been found, and then you can answer whatever I ask you, and you can go out after answering."

When the palace maid heard this, she nodded again and again.

"Who does Qingping come into contact with on weekdays?" The emperor asked.

The palace maid didn't think about it and replied: "Qingping usually contacts people in the palace, she is the palace maid that the Queen Mother values the most, the Queen Mother basically gives her everything to do, and there are more people in contact." ”

"Is there anything abnormal about Qingping lately?" Meng Nanxing asked.

The palace maid thought for a while and said, "There is nothing abnormal. ”

Meng Nanxing and the emperor asked two more palace maids in the middle, and these two palace maids answered the same as the palace maids in front.

Until the last palace maid appeared, she was much calmer than the previous palace maids.

"What's your name?" Meng Nanxing asked.

"The slave's name is Green Leaf."

Emperor: "Luye, how is your relationship with Qingping?" ”

"Sister Qingping treats the green leaves very well, it should be said that Sister Qingping is very good to all of us, Your Majesty, the slave has the courage to ask, is something wrong with Sister Qingping?"

"Qingping committed suicide in fear of sin."

"What?" Green Leaf's face was full of disbelief.

"There's nothing else to do with you, I just want to ask Qingping if she has been abnormal lately. The emperor asked. ”

Green leaves: "No, Sister Qingping followed the Queen Mother when she was very young, and the Queen Mother treated us very well, could it be a mistake." ”

Meng Nanxing: "Do you know where Qingping's hometown is from?" ”

Green leaves: "I heard Sister Qingping say that when she was very young, she was abducted to the capital by traffickers, and because of her good looks, she was almost sold to a brothel. ”

The emperor nodded.

"Who is changing the Queen Mother's fragrance on weekdays." Meng Nanxing asked.

"A few of us came in turns, but most of the time Sister Qingping changed, the Queen Mother likes Sister Qingping very much, and Sister Qingping is afraid that we can't do it well, so we have to do it ourselves."

The emperor couldn't help but be a little angry when he couldn't ask anything.

"Go back to the Longevity Palace and ask the Queen Mother." The emperor said.

The group tossed to the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace.

The Queen Mother was waiting at the door of the Longevity Palace.

finally looked forward to the emperor and Meng Nanxing.

"What's the matter, which palace maid died, it won't be Qingping." The Queen Mother was a little anxious.

The emperor and Meng Nanxing glanced at each other.

Then the emperor said: "It's Qingping, she committed suicide by taking poison, and the poison is the same as the poison in the emperor's mother." ”

"What? It's really Qingping who wants to hurt me. ”

The Queen Mother couldn't accept the news for a while.

The emperor: "I have interrogated several palace maids in the Longevity Palace, but I still haven't found any clues, what has the emperor found?" ”

Too regretful and said: "Blame me, Qingping, this child has followed me since she was a child, and she hasn't reprimanded her much, a few days ago, let her do something, but it wasn't particularly good, I immediately reprimanded her, I'm afraid it's not a grudge against me......"

The emperor comforted: "How can this be blamed on the emperor's mother, it is obvious that this palace maid is looking for her own ideas." ”

Meng Nanxing always felt that things were not so simple, but she couldn't find anything wrong, and the clues seemed to be broken.

But there is no way, she is a poison doctor, not a detective.

"Okay, let's come here in advance, don't hurt Huang Eniang, I'll let the imperial doctor come over and prescribe some soothing medicine for Huang Eniang." The emperor said.

Meng Nanxing also wanted to go back, and when she left, the Queen Mother did not forget to ask Princess Huo to enter the palace another day.

After Meng Nanxing returned home, he went to the Yunxiang Courtyard where the princess was lying.

Xiao Jinhui sat on the bed, her face was bloodier than before.

"How is the princess feeling today?" Meng Nanxing asked.

"It's much better, the prince's medical skills are really good." Xiao Jinhui said.

Although the words are compliments, they can't be heard in the tone of real praise.

"The princess's health is really bad, or need more conditioning, the king entered the palace today, the queen mother asked the princess to go to the palace to organize a feast, for a few unmarried princes to choose a married girl, the king feels that the princess should really practice well, one is to learn how to housekeeping, and the other can also have something to do, exercise and exercise. I agreed for the princess, and the princess has no opinion. ”
