Chapter 68 Residues
……

After lunch, she felt that something was wrong with Ji Jiaoyue.

So she found a reason and went into the palace.

Chu Xun was waiting for her in the palace.

……

After an unknown amount of time, her carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

"Miss, we have arrived at the gate of the palace now. Except for the carriages of His Majesty and His Highness Prince Chen, all carriages are not allowed to enter the palace, so we stopped here."

Hearing what the coachman said, Ji Jiaoyue nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

She got out of the carriage, intending to go in by herself.

However, just as she walked down, she saw Chu Xun!
Chu Xun was not far away, waiting for her!

When he saw her, Chu Xun walked towards her.

Seeing this, Ji Jiaoyue was more or less surprised.

"My lord... Aren't you waiting for me inside? Now, why are you coming out to pick me up yourself..."

Hearing what she said, Chu Xun smiled, "The palace is too big, I'm afraid you'll get lost, so I'll come out to pick you up!"

"If it were someone else, it might not be such a good treatment..."

Hearing what he said, Ji Jiaoyue felt a little embarrassed.

He is always saying something vague to himself.

She was thinking about it, when suddenly, Chu Xun frowned and couldn't help asking.

"Xiaoyue... Did you not sleep well last night? Why is your complexion so bad? The circles under your eyes have been visibly dark this week..."

Hearing what he said, Ji Jiaoyue lowered her head slightly.

"My lord, I'm fine, don't worry about me!"

Chu Xun frowned even deeper, "Xiaoyue, you are treating me like an outsider! I told you before, if you have anything to say, you can tell me..."

After hearing his words, Ji Jiaoyue had no choice but to tell him.

"My lord, I had a very strange dream last night, I felt terrible..."

After a pause, she spoke up.

"My lord, I dreamed that I personally killed you, my lord, on the day of our wedding. The wedding dress in my dream is exactly the same as the wedding dress my lord gave me!"

Hearing what she said, Chu Xun couldn't help being amused.

At the same time, he felt a little distressed, "Silly girl, you were worried all night because of this dream, so you didn't sleep well?"

Ji Jiaoyue nodded.

Seeing her admit it, Chu Xun found it even more funny.

He couldn't help but tapped Ji Jiaoyue's nose with his hand.

"You, you, you are such a silly girl!"

"That's just a dream, and dreams and reality are also reversed, so you don't have to worry at all!"

Having said that, his expression changed a bit.

"And, Xiaoyue, even if you are like the one in that dream, if you want to kill me with your own hands, I won't resist! I would rather die by your hands..."

Hearing what he said, Ji Jiaoyue suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.

In the previous life, Chu Xun also said exactly the same thing to himself!
In the end, when he poisoned Chu Xun in the wine, he knew it clearly, but he didn't hesitate at all. He really died in his arms...

The more she thought about it, the more guilty Ji Jiaoyue felt in her heart.

Seeing her mood suddenly become like this, Chu Xun was a little confused.

"Okay, Xiaoyue, don't think about this!"

"If you're looking at that wedding dress, you're prone to fall in love with the scene and get in a bad mood, then... how about this, I'll ask someone to send you some wedding dresses, and see which one you like, or all of them like it all……"

Hearing what he said, Ji Jiaoyue was a little surprised.

A set of wedding clothes already costs a lot of money, not to mention buying a few more sets!
Seeing that she was silent, Chu Xun wanted to divert her attention.

After a pause, Chu Xun started talking to her again.

"Xiaoyue, let's go in first!"

Ji Jiaoyue paused, and then she nodded, "Okay."

……

Soon, Chu Xun brought her to the bedroom where the Empress Dowager was.

That's right, Ji Jiaoyue came into the palace today not for anything else, but because he wanted to go a step further and investigate the cause of the Empress Dowager's death!

Looking from the outside, this palace is really big!It really deserves to be the palace of the Empress Dowager...

Soon, she walked in with Chu Xun.

Because the Empress Dowager passed away, it has only been a short period of time, so every place in the palace is still extremely clean.

Chu Xun asked, "Xiaoyue, where do you plan to start?"

Ji Jiaoyue thought for a while, "Look at the small kitchen! Because the medicine is boiled, the medicine is made there..."

……

Soon, the two of them arrived at the small kitchen.

After a lot of searching, Ji Jiaoyue finally found some drug residues in the corner.

She took the residue in the palm of her hand and examined it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, she seemed to think of something suddenly, and her complexion was a little heavy.

The empress dowager was indeed killed by someone!

Chu Xun saw that something was wrong with her face, so Chu Xun hurriedly asked.

"What's the matter, Xiaoyue..."

Hearing what he said, Ji Jiaoyue came back to her senses.

"My lord, please answer me first, what was the physical condition of the Empress Dowager during her lifetime?"

Chu Xun answered, "Although the Empress Dowager is often unwell, in general, she is relatively healthy!"

Speaking of this, Chu Xun seemed to suddenly think of something, and he hurriedly added another sentence.

"However, once before the Empress Dowager, she occasionally felt a cold..."

Hearing what he said, Ji Jiaoyue frowned suddenly.

"My lord, now I can conclude that the Empress Dowager was really killed by someone!"

Seeing her at this moment, she is so determined.

Chu Xun couldn't help but became curious.

"Xiaoyue...why is this?"

Ji Jiaoyue picked up a little drug residue and handed it to the sky.

"My lord, look at..."

"This is Tripterygium wilfordii. It can be used for wind and cold, but it can only be used for external application. If it is taken internally, it will be poisoned if eaten for a long time, and ah, it will die within four days at the earliest."

"If it is chronic, it will take a long time for the attack to occur. However, no matter how long or short the time is, the final result will be death!"
