Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 44 Interrogation
The originally peaceful Zhaoyang Palace fell into panic following the fall of Fu Xiuyun, and the guards in silver armor quickly surrounded the Zhaoyang Palace. Some timid girls saw this scene and hugged their mothers. sobbed loudly.

A good palace banquet has turned into this.
The queen mother looked at Fu Xiuyun who had passed out, and was heartbroken: "Teach the imperial physician! Quickly pass on the imperial physician to Ai's family!"

Mr. Li kicked Eunuch Wang's ass, and said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze! Why don't you go and get the imperial physician!"

"Yes yes yes" Wang Gonggong crawled out of Zhaoyang Palace.

Fu Mingjue went through the crowd and came to the Empress Dowager, supported her crumbling body, and said, "Empress Mother, don't worry, Brother Huang will be fine."

The Empress Dowager held his hand tightly, her eyes tearing apart: "If you can't save your brother, the Ai family will definitely not let you go!"

The mother's kindness and son's filial piety all collapsed at this moment, but Fu Mingjue didn't have any ups and downs about it: "My son will not let my mother down."

Soon, Sun Zhongxing, the Imperial Hospital envoy, hurried over with a group of imperial doctors.

The Queen Mother seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, she shook off Fu Mingjue's hand, stepped forward and said, "Envoy Sun, come and see what's going on Your Majesty."

Sun Zhongxing reassured: "Empress Dowager, don't worry, let the old minister take a look at Your Majesty first."

"well"

The queen mother looked at Concubine Zhou Shu, who was kneeling beside Fu Xiuyun, and scolded, "What are you doing here? Get lost!"

Concubine Zhou Shu was almost scared out of her wits by this voice, and wanted to take her hand out of Fu Xiuyun's, but was grabbed even tighter.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager's heart burst out: "If you don't let go, Aijia will cut off your hand!"

"The queen mother, not a concubine..." Concubine Zhou Shu was so anxious that she almost cried. Who would have thought that Fu Xiuyun would pass out with such great strength.

Fu Mingjue said in time: "Since the emperor refuses to let go of Concubine Zhou Shu, forget it, the safety of the emperor is the most important right now. Envoy Sun, please show your Majesty first."

The queen mother snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else, she was just a concubine, and it would not be too late to deal with her after the matter was over.

Concubine Zhou Shu glanced at Fu Mingjue gratefully. She never thought that only Fu Mingjue was willing to help her at this time.
The hall was terribly quiet, everyone was waiting for Sun Zhongxing to speak, including Mingyue.

The crown prince is only eight years old now, if something happened to Fu Xiuyun, who should be in charge of the overall situation?
——The Queen Mother, or King Jing?

Or, will someone else sit on the throne?

The relationship between King Jing and His Majesty these years is only superficially harmonious. Who doesn't know that His Majesty is jealous of the Xuanyuwei in King Jing's hands?Xuan Yuwei, who was supposed to be the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, is in King Jing's hands. What was the purpose of the late emperor's move?
People's minds are different.

At this time, Sun Zhongxing got up slowly, with a serious expression on his face: "Your Majesty has eaten arsenic by mistake. If it weren't for your majesty's good background, I'm afraid." Although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning is self-evident.

If Fu Xiuyun was in poor health, he might have been poisoned and died on the spot.

The queen mother felt dizzy when she heard this, and almost passed out, she murmured: "Arsenic. How could you accidentally eat arsenic?"

Sun Zhongxing said: "As for why it was poisoned, I still need to check it out. I also ask the Queen Mother to let someone bring up all the things that His Majesty touched tonight."

"Okay." The queen mother braced her body and gave orders.

Sun Zhongxing and the imperial doctor checked the things Fu Xiuyun used tonight one by one, and finally detected the poison in the crab shell.

"Now it seems that His Majesty should have been poisoned after eating arsenic-laced crabs." Sun Zhongxing said.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Almost everyone ate crabs tonight, but the crabs that were brought to Fu Xiuyun's table were poisoned. Isn't this clearly intended to murder His Majesty?

"Your Majesty likes to eat fried crabs. I'm in a good mood today, so I ate two more. Who would have thought of it?" Mr. Li said, and couldn't help covering his face and crying.

The queen mother clenched her teeth and said: "Check! Check it out for the Ai family! No matter what, we must find out the poisoner for the Ai family!"

The leader of the imperial guards ordered that all the palace servants of Zhaoyang Palace, together with the cook of the imperial dining room, be taken back.

Ling Youyao looked down at the overturned crab meat, and suddenly came up with a bold idea: Could this plate of crab meat she picked up by herself be poisonous?If it was later, would Fu Mingjue be the same as Fu Xiuyun?
The atmosphere in the hall was condensed, and the palace people shrank and knelt in the hall, not daring to show their atmosphere.

Mingyue was mixed in, not conspicuous, but Ling Youyao still saw her at a glance.

She didn't seem to be afraid at all. Didn't she do the poison?

Ling Youyao stared at the kneeling Mingyue the whole time. She was calm, and very calm. Compared with other shivering palace people, Mingyue was much calmer.

There are only two reasons for this calmness:

First, Mingyue is not the murderer, and this matter has nothing to do with her; second, she is fully sure that no one will suspect her.

There were two reasons first, and Ling Youyao chose the second one without hesitation.

The Feng family was about to be beheaded, and the soldier talisman ordering Yuanwuwei also fell into Fu Xiuyun's hands. Even though Mingyue was of the royal blood of the former dynasty, the former dynasty was destroyed, and the only person who could prove her identity, Feng Zonghai, was dead. Without the soldier talisman, she There is no way out.

When a person is at the end of the road, he always thinks of ending everything with death, but a person who harbors family hatred and national hatred will never die silently like this.

If you want to die, you have to drag your enemies to die together.

Who is Mingyue's enemy?
——In addition to Fu Xiuyun, there is also Fu Mingjue.

Just when Ling Youyao confirmed that the poisoner was Mingyue, the leader of the Imperial Guard announced the inspection results: "I report to the Empress Dowager, I didn't find anything unusual."

Nothing wrong?how is this possible!

Ling Youyao didn't believe it, and neither did the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager's sharp eyes swept over the palace servants kneeling below, and said: "Since they can't be found out, then let the Ai family drag you down and torture them! The Ai family wants to see who has the guts to give your majesty the power to do so." poison!"

When everyone heard the words, their faces were terrified, and they all begged: "The empress dowager, please forgive me! The slaves are all wronged——"

The Queen Mother was unmoved. In her eyes, the low life of a servant is not even comparable to a hair of Fu Xiuyun.

"Come here! Drag these slaves to the Ai family and interrogate them!"

The imperial guards dragged all the palace people down, and Mingyue lowered her head, even though she knew that she was about to be tortured and might even die, she didn't have the slightest fear.

Ling Youyao fell into deep suspicion. Is she an orphan from the previous dynasty?

Afterwards, there were shrill screams outside the hall, and bursts of crying and howling could be heard. Just by hearing the sound, one could tell how miserable the situation was outside. Even the courtiers who were not surprised by the incident couldn't help trembling.

After a while, a person hurried in from outside the hall, and said to the Queen Mother, "I want to report to the Queen Mother, someone has hired you."
