The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 290 Cause of Death
Hearing a slight sound of footsteps in a daze, Lu'er suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

The candlelight gradually illuminates the door, and the shadow leaps onto the paper of the door and window.

Someone really is coming.

Lu'er's eyes widened, ready to see clearly who the person who hijacked her here was.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in.

It's Cui Hengyue.

Lu'er was shocked, and went to look at the man next to her. It seemed a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she saw her.

Song Zhuoxing lit the candles in the room, and then said to Cui Hengyue, "I'm right outside, call me if you need something."

"it is good."

After Song Zhuoxing closed the door, Cui Hengyue came to Lu'er and untied the ropes on her hands and feet first.

"Are they yours?" Lu'er kept staring at Cui Hengyue.

She couldn't understand: she was in Cui Hengyue's hands, why did Cui Hengyue send someone to kidnap her?

Although Xie Yuan didn't let her get off the carriage when they arrived at Duke Jing's mansion, but when they arrived at the tea shop, Xie Yuan and Cui Hengyue went to the elegant room, and there were only Cui Hengyue's two maids beside her.

If Cui Hengyue wanted to take her away, he only needed to let the two maids take her away at that time, why did he send another person to take her away?

Cui Hengyue threw the rope on the ground casually, and said to her: "Sit."

After Lu'er sat down, she handed over a cup of hot tea: "Drink tea."

Lu'er didn't move: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"I rescued you not to answer your questions, but to answer your questions."

After finishing speaking, Cui Hengyue pointed to the teacup: "Drink it, it's not poisonous."

Lu'er picked up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and then looked at Cui Hengyue as if she were dead: "If you want to know anything, just ask."

Cui Hengyue lifted the teapot and poured her another cup of tea: "I want to know how Concubine Rong died that year."

Green was silent.

Seeing this, Cui Hengyue's eyes turned cold: "Don't think about threatening me to do anything for you, I'm not a good person, and I hate others threatening me the most.

"If you don't tell me the truth back then, I will hand you over to the Queen Mother."

As soon as she heard that she was going to be handed over to the queen mother, Lu'er panicked: "I say, I say."

Seeing Cui Hengyue's expression calm down, Lu'er took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, when Concubine Rong passed away, I was still young and didn't know the inside story.

"But my aunt served by Concubine Rong's side back then, and before Concubine Rong died, my aunt was by her side.

"I remember that after Concubine Rong passed away, I once asked my aunt, what kind of illness did Concubine Rong suffer from? Why was she fine one day and passed away the next day?
"My aunt was very scared and very angry at the time, she ordered me not to ask about this matter again from now on, and not to mention Concubine Rong to anyone.

"I was young at the time, and although I agreed to her request, but I insisted on asking, my mother told me that Concubine Rong died because of the cold.

"Later, not long after Concubine Rong's funeral, my aunt became ill, and her condition became more and more serious. I was very scared.

"Before my mother died, she told me that Concubine Rong didn't die of illness, she died of poisoning."

Cui Hengyue stood up excitedly, and leaned forward: "What kind of poison is it?"

Lu'er shook her head: "I don't know, my mother didn't say anything."

"Who is the poisoner?" Cui Hengyue asked again.

Lu'er still shook her head: "I don't know. At that time, my mother told me that Concubine Rong was poisoned and died, and her body failed."

Thinking of the scene when her mother died that year, Lu'er's nose turned sour, and tears filled her eyes.

Cui Hengyue looked at her quietly, thoughtfully.

Concubine Rong is the daughter of the Wang family, if she dies, Wang Dingkun will definitely investigate, and he will definitely know if she was poisoned.

Moreover, the King of Chu returned to Jinyang immediately after hearing the news, and personally investigated the cause of Concubine Rong's death.

Even the king of Chu did not find out that Concubine Rong was poisoned and died. This shows that the poison in Concubine Rong is difficult to detect, and it also shows that the people behind the scenes have a very strict layout.

"By the way, after Concubine Rong passed away, what about the people in her palace?"

Hearing Cui Hengyue's question, Lu'er raised her hand and wiped away her tears with her sleeve: "At that time, Concubine Rong died of illness, the late Emperor was furious, and killed all the people around Concubine Rong on the grounds of not serving her well.

"Because my aunt was a third-class court lady, and because Concubine Shu at that time pleaded with the late Emperor, she said that she could not kill all the people in Concubine Rong's palace, otherwise it would cause criticism.

"So, my aunt and those low-status palace servants survived.

"But it didn't take long for my aunt to fall ill, and the others would either be sent to court, or, like my aunt, they would never get sick again.

"Nowadays, there is no Concubine Rong in the palace anymore."

Cui Hengyue frowned: "You mean those palace people who were punished into Yeting are all dead?"

"Yes."

"how do you know?"

"I..." Lu'er's eyes were red again, and her voice was choked up: "Although my mother died of a cold, but I think my mother's illness is strange, and it must be related to the death of Concubine Rong.

"So after my aunt passed away, I secretly paid attention to Concubine Rong's people, and I also found opportunities to enter Yeting, but the status of those palace people was low, and they didn't know how Concubine Rong died.

"Later, after more than a year, when I went to Ye Ting again, those palace people all died of illness."

In other words, all the people in Concubine Rong's palace died.

Cui Hengyue's heart sank, and she suddenly felt that the clue was broken again, and she didn't know where to start.

After a moment of silence, Cui Hengyue raised her head and asked again: "By the way, who was the imperial physician who diagnosed Concubine Rong with a cold?"

"Forehead"

Lu'er thought about it carefully: "It seems to be the Imperial Physician Order from that year, yes, it is the Imperial Physician Order from that year.

"The first emperor doted on Concubine Rong very much. If Concubine Rong was unwell, she would be diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician."

Cui Hengyue asked: "Then who was the imperial physician order back then?"

"I only know his surname is Zhen."

Surname Zhen?

Zhen Jiu's face suddenly flashed in Cui Hengyue's mind, wondering if this Imperial Physician Ling surnamed Zhen has anything to do with Zhen Jiu?

No, didn't the king of Chu say that when her mother refused to enter the palace, the first emperor was furious and took back the Queen's position of Wang's daughter, and only made her aunt a noble concubine?

If this is the case, then the first emperor should have angered her aunt, and didn't want to see her aunt, so how could he love her aunt so much?

Cui Hengyue felt that something was wrong, and asked Lu'er: "When Concubine Rong entered the palace, did the late Emperor spoil her very much?"

"Yes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Cui Hengyue felt even more strange: "Tell me about what happened after Concubine Rong entered the palace."

"What happened after entering the palace?"

Lu'er frowned, and tried to think back: "Actually, I made an exception to stay in the palace. I couldn't stay in Concubine Rong's palace with my mother. There were not many places I could walk around. old mammy.

"However, this old nanny likes to walk around and listen to people's right and wrong. She told me everything I know, and every time my mother came to visit me, she would tell me about Concubine Rong.

"They said that the day when the first emperor married Concubine Rong was very grand, and the first emperor seemed very happy and drank a lot of wine.

"Concubine Rong didn't like to laugh, so the late emperor tried every means to make her laugh. Whenever the tributes entered the palace, the late emperor always followed Concubine Rong to choose first. Whatever Concubine Rong wanted, the late Emperor would give her.

"It can be said that among the three thousand beauties in the harem, the first emperor only favored Concubine Rong and obeyed her.

"There are rumors outside that the reason why the late emperor loved Concubine Rong so much was to avenge Concubine Rong's younger sister, and he didn't really love Concubine Rong."
