Chunman Palace

Chapter 41
Concubine Min was overjoyed when she heard this, she was worried about their plans at first, but now it seemed that she was too worried and listened to the conversation with a calm face.

The Empress Dowager signaled the people on the stage to step back, and asked seriously, "What happened to Lin Changzai?"

The little eunuch panicked and said: "Go back to the empress dowager, Lin Chang is with her, she is also poisoned!"

"What?!" The queen mother was shocked when she heard it, and continued to ask: "How did Lin Changzai get poisoned? Has the imperial physician gone?"

"Going back to the Empress Dowager...Lin Changzai is because, because..."

"Empress Dowager, the real culprit who caused the poisoning of Concubine Ji and Lin Changzai has been found." The words were like a cold sword cutting ice, and went straight into the room.

I saw Chang Xiuru leading a few palace people to salute the Queen Mother, and an eunuch threw a red-dyed black cat on the ground, she pointed to the dead cat and said: "This is the real murderer."

Concubine Min stepped forward, raised her handkerchief to cover her nose in disdain, looked at Humanity with contempt: "Sister Chang Concubine's words are too absurd, you actually said that this cat was poisoned by Concubine Ji? Could it be?" Just kill a wild cat and come here to play tricks, right?"

"Empress Dowager, what the concubine said is true, please read." As soon as Chang Xiuru finished speaking, an eunuch beside her put on rough linen gloves and carefully brushed off the cat's fur. A cold light shone from the thick black hair.

"Empress Dowager, this is a hedgehog cat." Chang Xiuru asked someone to remove the thing embedded in the cat's fur, only to see that the end of a silver needle was stained with blood, and the tip of the needle had turned black.

The queen mother stared at it for a while before saying: "Is this the poisonous weapon? How many cats like this are there?"

The inspecting eunuch replied: "Go back to the empress dowager, there will always be no less than a dozen."

The person who poisoned him was really vicious, and he had prepared so many poisonous needles.

"There are constant turmoil in the palace. It turns out that some people use this beast to do many evil things. It's really a crime." The Queen Mother sighed.

Concubine Min saw that the Queen Mother believed what she said, so she asked Concubine Chang: "This poisonous needle is embedded in the cat's fur, even if people touch it, it will not hurt people. Could it be that the needle has only a tip and no head?"

"Ms. Concubine Min is right. Of course it is impossible for the poisonous needle to point inward, and how can the needle be firmly embedded in the flesh?" Chang Xiuru motioned for a look, and the eunuch grabbed the cat's skin and pulled it lightly. , Under the black hair is actually a piece of pigskin.

Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, a man in brocade with a long knife on his waist escorted a famous eunuch in.

"Then see the empress dowager."

This person is the emperor's personal bodyguard. He grew up with the emperor Xuan Yin since he was a child. He usually stays by Xuan Yin's side to ensure the safety of the holy body, and has never set foot in the harem.

"Get up, Zeyu, why don't you stay by the emperor's side, what are you doing here?" Seeing the eunuch with a hideous face under him, the queen mother wondered, "Who are you betting on?"

"Murderer." Ze Zuo replied shortly.

Chang Xiuru walked leisurely in front of the person, smiled slightly at the eunuch, and said: "This is the end of the matter, tell me everything you know? I admire you for being able to endure the pain of flesh and blood, but I don't know if you have a heart As tough as your skin, can you be cold-blooded?"

These words are to take the knife against his relatives outside the palace.

The eunuch panicked in fright, and said with tears running down his face, "I'll say it! I'll say it! I'll say it all!"

"Let go of him first."

"Yes." As soon as Zezu let go, the eunuch immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times.

"The cat's original hair was shaved off by the slaves, and the pigskin with this layer of black cat hair was stitched on. The poisonous needles were embedded in the fake skin in advance, so it was naturally firm. After these things were done, the cat was made of camphor mint. Excitement, induce it to take the initiative to rub people and act like a baby, and use it to poison."

The queen mother asked: "Who are you instigated by?"

"Slave... We promise to do things for Mu!" After the eunuch finished speaking, knowing that he would not live long, he immediately bit his tongue and committed suicide.

The empress dowager said sternly, "Where is Mu promise?"

Mu promised to step forward without fear, and said calmly: "I have never done this before."

"Then do you recognize this eunuch? Why did he identify you with death?"

Mu promised not to look at it, "The concubine has never done it, and she will never know the person who did the harm."

"What Mu promised to say is so categorical, I almost believe that you really didn't do it." Chang Xiuru clapped her hands, and shouted out: "Come in, let Mu promise to explain."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Qingyu and Li Taiyi walked in together.

A subtle surprise flashed across Mu's eyes.

Lin Qingyu saluted and said: "The concubine has visited the empress dowager, in order to find out the truth, the concubine specially brought Doctor Li for examination."

Ruzi can be taught, the queen mother nodded in satisfaction.

Concubine Min immediately realized that the empress dowager and the three were making a play!They laid an ambush in advance and sent out news to lure the snake out of the hole, but they never thought about what to do if the real murderer didn't make a move tonight.

It's a pity that this murderer really took the risk and repeated the old trick.

Concubine Min scolded this person in her heart for being stupid.

He made the move when the turmoil was on guard in the harem. If the turmoil subsides, he might be able to take another person away with this plan.

At this time, Imperial Physician Liu had already tested the poisonous needle, and replied: "Your Majesty, the needle tip of this needle is quenched with the poison of Qingyao from the Western Regions, the poison is fierce, and the blood seals the throat."

The queen mother immediately asked: "Poison from the Western Regions? Mu promised, where did you get this poison?"

Mu promised to remain unchanged, and his voice was serious: "I don't know, my concubine has never done it, and there is no poison from the Western Regions."

Chang Xiuru stepped forward and said: "Empress Dowager, the concubine has sent people to search Mu Xu's bedroom, and I believe the results will be available soon."

Concubine Min saw the needle and said: "Sister Chang concubine has overstepped, even if you are a concubine, you can't search the concubine's bedroom at will, right? This is really inappropriate."

"My sister just wants to find out the real culprit as soon as possible. If she misunderstood Mu's promise because of this, she will make an apology."

Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing, the queen mother interrupted: "Okay, the most important thing now is to find out the truth, don't worry about this kind of sesame forever, be quiet."

"Yes..." The two closed their voices.

The palace servants who searched soon came back to report, but their expressions were slightly disappointed: "The servants have led people to search every corner of Fangyu Hall, and found nothing suspicious."

"It seems that Chang Concubine's sister is really wrong to blame Mu for agreeing, and I don't know who instigated that eunuch to slander Mu for agreeing." After finishing speaking, Concubine Min's eyes fell on Chang Xiuru.

Chang Xiuru was a little flustered, she was only one step away from uncovering the truth, she promised to Mu: "It seems that the poison is still hidden in Mu Xu's body." She rushed over to search him.

"You framed me, go away!" Mu promised to resist in every possible way, and slapped Chang Xiuru's arm with his hands. Seeing this, Lin Qingyu hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, just find other evidence."

Reluctantly, Chang Xiuru stretched out her arms to touch Mu Ying's hand, and a light red medicine bottle rolled out of Mu Ying's sleeve while the two pushed.

"Presumptuous, stop Aijia!"

Only then did Chang Xiuru stop, and knelt down towards the Queen Mother: "My concubine is rude, please forgive me, the Queen Mother."

"Although you are the daughter of the co-leader, don't act like a shrew and beat people at every turn. If you continue to be so shameless, the Ai family will definitely punish you." The queen mother pointed to the medicine bottle on the ground and said: "Doctor Li , please check to see if it is poison."

Doctor Li picked up the medicine bottle, put it in his nose and waved his hand to sniff it lightly, "Go back to Empress Dowager, this is the strange poison of the Western Regions, blue waist."

Mu promised to sway, and fell headfirst.
