Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Qu Cairen was silent for a while when he heard the words, then twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "You are right, I did think about dragging the mother and child into hell with my own hands, but who made them have so many people around them?" Follow, even if I want to die with them, I can't do it."

"If I really go directly to fight them, I'm afraid I will be taken down by the people around them before I reach them, and revenge will become a joke by then."

"Although poisoning is not as refreshing as strangling them with my own hands or seeing them die in front of me with my own eyes, it is much safer to poison. And the poison I asked people to find is the kind of poison that is very painful after eating, so It's not cheap for her."

After Qu Cairen finished speaking, he looked at Lian Yongwang with burning eyes, and continued: "According to my lady-in-law, the poison she found is heart-broken grass poison, and people who are poisoned will feel like a knife stabbing their stomachs, causing unbearable pain. , Was that dead girl in pain at the time?"

Lian Yongwang nodded, "It was really painful when the second princess died."

When Qu Cairen heard Lian Yongwang's answer, he laughed, "That's good, I won't lose even if I die."

Lian Yongwang took this opportunity to continue asking, "Why did you go to the Imperial Garden when you were more than eight months pregnant? Have you ever thought that if you hadn't gone to the Imperial Garden, maybe your child would not have died young? "

After hearing this, Qu Cairen was speechless for a long time. After a long time, when even Yongwang thought that Qu Cairen would not answer, Qu Cairen opened his mouth and said: "Of course I thought about it, and I also regretted it more than once. Go to the Royal Garden, but what's the use of regretting, regretting can't save my child, the only thing I can do is to avenge my child."

Lian Yongwang didn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he asked again, "Then why did you go to the Imperial Garden?"

Qu Cairen thought for a while, and said: "I have always liked peach blossoms. The weather was good that day, and I heard Zijin say that the peach blossoms in the imperial garden were in full bloom. I thought that the imperial doctor said that I was pregnant, so I got up. The thought of looking at the peach blossoms in the imperial garden..."

It's that maid named Zijin again!

Lian Yongwang thought that she needed to interrogate that maid named Zijin again, to see if she could dig out any useful information from her mouth.

Lian Yongwang walked out of Qu Cairen's Yutangzhai, and went to the inner court prison where Zijin was imprisoned.

The Inner Court Prison is a prison in the palace where maids and eunuchs who have made mistakes are specially detained. It is located in the northwest corner of the palace. It was a small courtyard, but all the maids and eunuchs in the palace avoided it.

The prisons of the Inner Court Prison for detaining wrongdoers and eunuchs are mainly located underground. There are many instruments of torture in the dark underground. Many people may tremble when they see these instruments of torture.

As soon as Lian Yongwang walked outside the courtyard of the Inner Court Prison, Yuan En walked out of the courtyard hungry.

Yuan En's face was a bit anxious, and when he saw Lian Yongwang, he said: "Master, it's not good, that palace lady named Zijin is gone."

Lian Yongwang's face darkened when he heard this, he just found out that this maid named Zijin was a key person, and she committed suicide in the inner court prison.

"When did it happen?" Lian Yongwang asked.

Yuanen replied: "Just now, he committed suicide by taking poison."

"Where did the poison come from?" Everyone who was imprisoned in the inner court prison would be searched before entering. If there was poison hidden in Zijin's body, it was impossible for them not to find it when they searched.

Yuan En looked at Lian Yongwang's darker face, and said in a low voice: "Tu'er watched and frisked that Zijin before he was imprisoned. It is true that there was nothing on him, but during the frisking, Tuer searched him." On her body, I didn't notice that in her mouth, the poison was hidden in her teeth and brought in."

Hiding poison in the teeth is a common method used by some killer organizations or forces in the world to train dead soldiers. They have never encountered such a method of hiding poison in the teeth in the palace, so this time it is actually not possible. Wei Yuanen.

Even though Lian Yongwang knew that Yuan En could not be blamed for what happened this time, but as soon as they thought that Zijin was dead, all their clues would be cut off, and Lian Yongwang still couldn't help scolding Yuan En. .

After scolding, Lian Yongwang went to the prison to check Zijin's body again, hoping to see if he could find any clues from her body.

But to Lian Yongwang's disappointment, she didn't find anything.

Lian Yongwang stood up and asked Yuan En: "Check out who she had contact with before committing suicide."

Although the hope of finding anything is very slim, he has no other way at present, so he can only check here for the time being.

But just as Lian Yongwang thought, before Zijin committed suicide, she had never had any contact with anyone, and no one from the inner court prison had ever appeared in front of her.

Lian Yongwang and Yuan En spent another two or three days trying to find new clues from other places, but they found nothing.

When Luo Chengjing and Lian Yongwang asked about the progress of the matter, Lian Yongwang could only tell the truth: "At present, I only know that there may be another master behind the maid next to Qu Cairen, but the other villains have not found out yet."

Luo Chengjing was not surprised that there was another master behind Zijin, he nodded and said: "Since we can't find out for a while, then leave it to Liu Dahai and let him investigate slowly."

Liu Dahai is the chief eunuch of the inner court prison, and he is in charge of the entire inner court prison.

Lian Yongwang didn't want to entrust him with the things he couldn't find out, which would make him very incompetent, but he had to serve the emperor, so he couldn't spend all day investigating this matter, so in the end he still did it like this. As the emperor said, he handed over the matter to Liu Dahai.

People in the harem who followed the second princess's poisoning knew that after Qu Cairen was put under house arrest, they felt that the second princess's poisoning must have something to do with Qu Cairen. It's over if Qu Cairen is under house arrest.

The second princess was very much loved by the emperor, but Qu Cairen killed her but was only placed under house arrest, which made everyone in the harem doubt whether the emperor's previous love for the second princess was true.

In Linglong Pavilion, Lu Wanning finished practicing her calligraphy and put down her pen.

Qingdai stepped forward and kneaded Lu Wanning's wrist, and said curiously to Lu Wanning: "Master, what do you think the emperor thinks? Why did you just put Qu Cairen under house arrest and have no other intentions? What is the reason for the poisoning of the second princess?" Didn't Qu Cairen do it?"
