After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 210

Now that the emperor has decided to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye not to pursue further, Qi Zhengrong and Mo Chenfeng are also happy to relax.The two of them discussed it, and made up a reason for the dead eunuch's sudden death, and carried it out and burned it.

However, Mo Chenfeng is always cautious, so before he burned himself, he went to the imperial hospital and quietly found a highly skilled imperial physician for an autopsy. He concluded that he died of poisoning (nonsense), but the poison he used was not Commonly seen arsenic or crane crest red are rare poisons that are very precious. They are extremely potent and die when swallowed. Even if they are not in the diet, they are applied on utensils and they will be poisoned when they come into contact with the skin.
This kind of strange poison is extracted from a kind of southern border herbal medicine, which is difficult to refine, so it is rare and extremely expensive. On the black market, a small bottle is worth tens of thousands of gold.Using such an expensive strange poison to paint a book shows that the person who poisoned him spared no expense in order to kill Xiao Jingheng.

After talking with the imperial physician who performed the autopsy, Mo Chenfeng basically had an idea in his mind.The person who strikes is more likely to be one of Concubine Lin Gui and Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, and her elder brother had been a border official in Lingnan Road for many years, and her roots were deep and leafy. It is possible for her to obtain the precious and strange poison native to southern Xinjiang.And Lin Taiwei's son-in-law is the prefect of Lujiang, which is at the most southwestern part of Jiangnan Road, and it is possible to get such poison.

However, this does not mean that Empress Chen is completely free of suspicion. After all, the Chen family belongs to a first-class honorable family, and there are many students in the prime minister's residence.

But even if he knew it was a strange poison, it was useless, because the emperor didn't want to pursue it, so Mo Chenfeng went to such trouble to ask someone to check it just to know what he knew.After strictly instructing the imperial physician not to spread it to outsiders, he only secretly told Qi Zhengrong the autopsy results.

Right now, Qi Zhengrong is a grasshopper on the same rope as him, and Mo Chenfeng thinks that he should let his allies know.

Qi Zhengrong got the news, sighed, and led someone to exchange books for Xiao Jingheng.He changed all the books on the bookshelves in Pingkang Palace, and even removed the bookshelves very carefully, and burned them clean together with those books.

The eunuchs who came to move the books and bookshelves were all chosen by Qi Zhengrong himself this time, and all of them covered their hands, not daring to touch the books with their skin.

While Xiao Jingheng watched these eunuchs busy with their eyes, he carefully observed Qi Zhengrong's every word and deed.

Qi Zhengrong behaved no differently from before, the only difference was that he never mentioned the matter of a thorough investigation, nor did he send anyone to question the inner eunuch of Pingkang Palace. After moving the books that day, Qi Zhengrong quickly When I left, I didn't mention anything when I delivered the meal.

In fact, Xiao Jingheng immediately knew it in his heart.He knew that he had guessed right, the emperor had no intention of investigating thoroughly at all, and the matter of someone trying to poison him just passed by so smoothly.

But... Xiao Jingheng looked out of the window, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he smiled, that smile looked peaceful and innocent.

"Quan Fu," Xiao Jingheng called Quan Fu who was standing by the door, "Did Manager Qi say anything to you?"

"Return to your son." Quan Fu shook his head quickly: "No."

"Didn't you order it to be sealed?" Xiao Jingheng asked again.

"Even if Grandpa Qi doesn't say anything, the servants don't dare to spread gossip." Quan Fu quickly replied: "When we entered Pingkang Palace as errands, Grandpa Qi told us to be diligent with our legs and feet, and be honest with our eyes and mouth. some."

"It's fine if you don't give an order to keep your mouth shut." Xiao Jingheng nodded to Quanfu, smiling more innocently.

Two days later, Mo Chenfeng heard the guards' discussion and couldn't help feeling that he was very wise.He just said it!How could such a big incident happen in Pingkang Palace, how could it be kept hidden, it's only been two days, rumors are gradually spreading in the palace.

The rumors about Pingkang Palace also spread to the vicinity of Shouan Palace.The Empress Dowager has been very sad these days because of the funerals of her grandchildren. This day, she is more energetic and plans to go out to bask in the sun.When the aunt serving the Queen Mother came out to help the Queen Mother prepare the chair cushions, she happened to see several little eunuchs tending flowers and plants, whispering to each other while working.

The aunt in the Empress Dowager's palace had very strict rules, so she questioned and reprimanded the little eunuchs. When the little eunuchs got scared, they immediately shook off all the gossip they had heard outside. The aunt was shocked, and the news reached the ears of the empress dowager.

The empress dowager hates the Su family very much, but she doesn't hate her own grandson Xiao Jingheng.Even in the past, Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing, the "unintentional" young couple, were considered to be among the top few in the Queen Mother's heart for being likable.When the old lady was bored, she liked to listen to them talking. Every time Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng entered the palace, the empress dowager could maintain a good mood all day long.

Later, King Huaiyang rebelled, and all the princes died because of it. The empress dowager was indeed filled with resentment.All the smart grandsons who grew up in front of her were gone, and there was only one idiot left. She really couldn't accept this fact, so during this period of time, the old lady was as angry as she was unwilling to see Xiao Jingheng.

But that doesn't mean she is willing to watch someone murder her grandson.There are only three melons and two dates left for the grandson, and only Xiao Jingheng is left for the emperor's son. In the Huaiyang Palace, there are still a few dolls in his arms who are imprisoned with his mother, but after conspiring against the sinner, even if the emperor shows mercy If they are spared their lives, there is a high probability that they will be relegated to common people, exiled and relocated, and they will not be allowed to enter Beijing without an edict.

Whether there is such a grandson is almost no different to the empress dowager, so for her, Xiao Jingheng can almost be regarded as her only surviving grandson.

She has been in the deep palace for a long time, and has been mixed all the way from the favorite concubine to the empress dowager, so she is naturally not a fool.In fact, she could understand the mentality of Empress Chen, Concubine Lin Gui and Concubine Li, and also understand why they were so eager to attack Xiao Jingheng.

But understanding belongs to understanding, and tolerance is another aspect.

Things that the emperor doesn't want to pursue are not so easy to get over with the empress dowager.However, she is also very clear that it is inappropriate to investigate the harem with great fanfare during the funeral of the prince. Therefore, after the old lady slapped the table and lost her temper for a while, she did not make a rash decision. Come to her when you have time, she has something to ask.

In addition, the empress dowager also found another clever little eunuch, and sent him to the square in front of the Qiyuan Hall to give a message to the eldest princess Xiao Mingrui, who was attending the prince's memorial ceremony, and asked the eldest princess to go back before going back at night. , take the time to visit Shouan Palace.

　---Here is the dividing line of the Empress Dowager ---
　　Xiao Hengheng doesn't care if the emperor will investigate thoroughly, he doesn't care.He is already this old, and he doesn't expect too much from a father who appears out of nowhere.

　　But for a pragmatist, it would be ridiculous not to make full use of this matter, right?Shame on waste.

　　To the empress dowager, the Su family must be a bane and hates women, but the grandson is not that annoying.

　　By the way, who do you think is the suspect for poisoning?
