After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

Chapter 81 Finding Clues

Three days have passed since Guo Xiaotian's death.

In the dark night, in the Inner Court Prison, the attendant who served Guo Xiaotian that day and the concubine Ji Nu were interrogated again, but there was no progress.

Sima Chao walked out of the gloomy dungeon, took the towel handed by his entourage, cleaned his hands, leaned back on the chair and looked out the dark window in a trance.

Guo Xiaotian was the core figure of the Guo Clan's party. His unexplained death in the Sima Mansion was very detrimental to the Sima family.

Before Sima Zhengde set out for the expedition, he had explained to him that after the rebellion in the north was put down, the Sima family intended to join hands with the Guo family.

Guo Xiaotian had just lost his wife, and Sima Zhengde originally planned to marry Sima Chuqing to Guo Xiaotian to fill in the house. With such in-laws as a bond, the alliance between the two families is naturally the most secure.

Of course, my father only told him about this in private, and the others didn't know about it.

In fact, in order to form an alliance with the Guo family, her father could have allowed her to marry Shuangchi and marry Concubine Guo directly. Compared with marrying Sima Chuqing to Guo Xiaotian, it would be more beneficial to the Sima family, even Concubine Guo secretly I mentioned this to my father, but my father never agreed.

Sima Chao understood that his father was thinking of him, and Shuangchi was arrogant and domineering, so he was not a good match.

His father didn't want him to be wronged.

So he would rather settle for the next best thing, and would rather sacrifice Sima Chuqing.

Among the many daughters, the father has always favored him, and always has been.

With Guo Xiaotian's death like this, his father's interruption was in vain.

Thinking of his father, Sima Chao felt guilty and felt uncomfortable.

He couldn't stand his father's painstaking care.

Then, in order to form an alliance with the Guo family, I am afraid he will have to marry Shuangchi this time.

But if he is like this, how will he face Love in the future.

Love is his beloved woman, but she told him clearly that he can marry whoever is his wife, but it cannot be Shuangchi.

Sima Chao was in a state of confusion, he leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes heavily, he had never been so tired.

"Major General! Major General, I have made a major discovery."

Ting Wei rushed in, Sima Chao heard the call, quickly opened his eyes, and asked, "What did you find?"

Lieutenant Ting stepped forward, saluted hurriedly, and replied: "The servant of Da Situ fainted."

Sima Chao said: "He didn't use severe punishment, how could he do this?"

Ting Wei replied: "Yes, in order to keep alive, the brothers are extremely cautious in the interrogation, but just now he suddenly fainted, the brothers called the prison doctor, it turned out that he seemed to be poisoned."

Poisoning?

The dungeon is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for anyone to poison the mouth.

"Go and have a look!" Sima Chao hurriedly got up and strode into the dungeon.

The attendant had already been carried to a relatively tidy room, and was unconscious on a low bed. Sima Chao saw the prison doctor and asked, "Is it possible to be sure? He was poisoned?"

The prison doctor replied: "This man fainted, the old man gave him the needle just now, but he saw that the silver needle turned black, he must have been poisoned."

"Can you see what kind of poison it is?"

The prison doctor frowned, and replied hesitantly, "It looks like Crane Dinghong, but Crane Dinghong is extremely poisonous, it should die if you touch it."

"Or, it's because this person ate so little that he didn't die, but just fainted."

In Guo Xiaotian's eyes, the crane crest is red!

This is no coincidence!

When Sima Chao heard this, he frowned deeply, and after thinking about it for a while, he told the jailer, "Take the prison doctor to examine that girl Ji."

The jailer took orders and went away with the prison doctor. After a while, the prison doctor came back and said to Sima Chao, "Young General, that woman also has poison in her body, but it's only a small amount, so it won't be fatal."

The jailer echoed from the side: "The woman has been vomiting and diarrhea since yesterday. We thought it was caused by her entering the dungeon. From this point of view, it is also due to poisoning."

Sima Chao asked, "Is she also poisoned by the same poison?"

The prison doctor replied: "The poison in her body may be less than this person's, and it is difficult for the old man to see what kind of poison she has been poisoned in. Anyway, the poison in her body is not too much, and it is not fatal. The old man just gave her a bottle of poison. The detoxifying decoction should be fine tomorrow."

Hearing this, Wei Ting couldn't help shouting: "These two were also poisoned, what's going on, the dungeon is heavily guarded, could it be that they were poisoned with Da Situ at the banquet that day?"

"That's not right. If three people were poisoned at the same time, why did Da Situ die on the spot, but these two people can survive until now, and the poisoning is very light?"

"Strange thing! What a strange thing! After investigating the case for so many years, I have never seen such a strange thing."

Ting Wei complained one after another, and couldn't help asking Sima Chao: "Young General, what do you think about this matter?"

Seeing that Sima Chao was silent, he said again: "Why don't you go and invite Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Punishment right now, let's think about it together."

"This case is so strange that I really can't figure it out."

Sima Chao waved his hand and replied, "No need, I suddenly remembered something."

"I have to go back to the house in a hurry!"

As he spoke, he strode out of the dungeon, ordered his followers to lead the horse, and rushed back to the mansion at lightning speed.

Mrs. Tai finished offering incense in the family temple and was not in a hurry to return home. She brought Luo Fu and Sima Cheng to live in the village.

Luo's mother and son haven't been reunited for a long time, Madam Tai wanted to make the two mothers get closer. In addition, the mansion has been gloomy due to Guo Xiaotian's incident, and Madam Tai has been worrying about it. The village is clean, and she also wants to calm down here .

Since he stayed here overnight, Sima Cheng naturally wanted to cling to his mother. He lived in Luo's place, and Love still lived in the same room as when he came to the family temple for the first time.

At night, it started to rain, although the rain was not heavy, but it didn't stop. Love went to bed early, but her heart was in a mess.

She dreamed that Sima Chao found out that she had killed Guo Xiaotian, and he sent her to Concubine Guo in a rage.

She dreamed that she was hanged on the gallows, surrounded by piles of firewood, she was frightened and frightened, and shouted at Sima Chao for help, but he was unmoved. He said to himself: "Go and die. If you die, no one will rob Sima Chao from me."

The raging fire started, and she saw bright red blood flowing from her lower body.

When did she become pregnant with Sima Chao's flesh and blood again?
Could he be so cruel again!
"Help me! Save the child!"

This dream was too real, she exclaimed and finally broke free from this terrible dream, Love was covered in sweat, and sat up screaming.

"You did it, didn't you?"

It was still dark, and there was a sudden sound in the room, which made Love startled. She followed the sound and saw Sima Chao standing at the head of her bed.
