Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 386 Zhou Xuan (Part [-])
Wu Chen turned to look at Xing Yun and said, "Has the official come? I have to ask the official to explain this matter. If he can't give it, I have to do it myself."

Although Wu Chen didn't exert any strength in his hands, the queen mother was still a little suffocated by the pinch. Thinking that death was getting closer and closer to her, the queen mother hurriedly said, "Let me go first, so I can get her the antidote."

"Tell me first what you gave her to eat?"

The queen mother didn't say a word, Wu Chen lightly pressed his palm, and the queen mother hurriedly said: "Go to the soul!"

"What's the effect?" Wu Chen asked while gritting his molars.

"She, she will gradually lose her mind and listen to me."

"But she has no pulse!" Wu Chen yelled, and unconsciously exerted force on his hands, causing the Queen Mother to faint.

Wu Chen let go, watched the queen mother fall to the ground, then knelt down and pinched the queen mother, the queen mother let out a sigh of relief, then opened her eyes, Wu Chen's hand was on the neck again.

At this time, Li Heng hurried into the main hall, saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly became angry: "Wu Chen! You really treat me like I can't help you?!"

"I'll have to try to know if you can do anything! But the person who can do anything to you is watching right behind you!" Wu Chen didn't turn his head.

Li Heng only felt a chill on his back, and instantly understood Wu Chen's meaning. Wu Chen was not a person who played around with power, and the Queen Mother must have done something!
"She gave Chen Nanzhu her special Quhun powder, and wanted to control Chen Nanzhu to understand the matter of washing ink. Not only that, she also used the Gu family wooden card that I gave Chen Nanzhu to save his life, and ordered someone to go to Gu Shiming while I was sleeping I want to sneak into Liu's residence, but fortunately I have ordered in advance that today Chen Nanzhu came to see me with cakes from the palace, if you dare to eat the cakes that Pinggu brought to my house, I will let your mother go, and I... Let you handle it!" Wu Chen looked at Li Heng.

Li Heng frowned and asked, "Quhun San?"

"Yes, your mother said that those who have used it will gradually lose their own ideas and listen to her, but I don't think it's that simple, Chen Nanzhu has no pulse."

"Go pass on the imperial physician!" After Li Heng shouted loudly, he said helplessly, "Let go of the queen mother first, the imperial physician will arrive soon..."

Wu Chen thought for a while, let go of his hand, stared into the Queen Mother's eyes and said, "If I want to take your life, it's like searching for something, you can ask your son if his people can stop me?"

Wu Chen stood up, and the nuns and maids in the palace hurried forward to help the Queen Mother up, and then hurried into the inner room.

"You'd better prepare the antidote." Wu Chen said coldly.

Li Heng sat on the throne in the hall, rubbed his swollen forehead, and asked feebly, "Can't you go to me first?"

Wu Chen took the lower seat and said:
"When we were in Liu's house, we discussed a problem together. The people behind the scenes know that there are treasures underground in Liu's house, so they can buy Liu's house and several houses adjacent to Liu's house. With the financial resources of the people behind the scenes, this should not It’s a question, just look at the weird murder case ten years ago, the capital’s government office, Dali Temple, and the investigation department all participated, and it can be seen that the people behind the scenes are not short of power and financial resources, so why didn’t he buy Liu’s house?”

Li Heng looked at Wu Chen, then at the eunuchs in the palace, and waved his hand. The eunuchs retreated, and the archers in the courtyard also left.

"You know someone can hear..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm just explaining why I came here first, without discussing with you first. We said who the person behind the scenes is before. He is looking for Ximo. If anyone knows that he is looking for Ximo, there may be more than one person , want to sit back and enjoy the benefits, you are him, what would you do?"

"Take away the ink wash quietly."

"The so-called weird murder case ten years ago was just a cover-up, making the world think that it was related to ghosts. No one would think that it was related to ink washing. However, they thought things too simply, resulting in insufficient preparation, and failed to succeed in ten years. I fought Huo Ran that night, and I knew that there were not many people washing ink underground in Liu’s residence, but when I woke up, the Queen Mother’s people had already wanted to do it when I was asleep. You said that the Queen Mother has no brains. I believe it! The reason why she has no brains is because she has no fear, and she feels that no one dares to investigate her! If she is really no brains, how can she know how to arrange eyeliner everywhere? Let me ask it another way, can the Queen Mother know about the ink washing? "

Li Heng gasped.

"If I go to you first, there is no guarantee that the Queen Mother will not receive the news. If I come here again, can I still ask the truth?"

At this time, the imperial doctor hurried into the courtyard under the guidance of the little eunuch.

Li Heng ordered the imperial physician to feel Chen Nanzhu's pulse. Only then did Chen Nanzhu realize that there might be something wrong with his body, and he was very disturbed.

The imperial doctor's fingers changed positions on Chen Nanzhu's wrist several times, his complexion became more and more ugly, and a thin layer of sweat could be seen on his forehead.

But no matter how the imperial physician changed his position or how hard he tried, he couldn't feel his pulse. After a while, the imperial physician fell to his knees and kowtowed to Li Hengmeng, saying: "I am incompetent!"

"No pulse?" Li Heng asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Change someone to take the pulse!"

……

The doctors on duty at the Tai Hospital all came to take turns to feel the pulse, but none of them felt the pulse.

Li Heng let them all go down.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Li Heng asked loudly, "Do you have an antidote?"

The queen mother shouted angrily in the room: "You are the king of a country, and I am the queen mother of the court. A courtier committed a crime. You didn't say to deal with him first, but you asked me about it!"

Li Heng said with a sullen face, "You know what he is capable of. I can't stop him. I'll ask again. Is there an antidote?"

"If you can't stop him, just let him kill me, and you can leave a good reputation through the ages...ah!"

The queen mother was sitting on the chair and was talking vigorously, when she saw a black figure rushing directly in front of her eyes, and the back of her neck was strangled again.

"Is she alive or dead now?" Wu Chen's eyes burst out with anger and sternness.

The Queen Mother was completely stupid. She thought that with Li Heng around, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he would not dare to do anything, otherwise Wu Chen would not have brought Chen Nanzhu to find him directly.

But now she saw the sternness in Wu Chen's eyes, and knew that she was in a dire situation, so she could only say: "Between life and death."

"Is there an antidote?"

"No, no."

"What's next for her?"

"Wait... When she realizes that she is dead, she will really die."

Wu Chen exerted force uncontrollably.

The empress dowager's face was flushed red, and the maid in the palace stepped forward to drag Wu Chen away, but Wu Chen didn't move at all.

"Maybe... I can't die." The queen mother said these words with difficulty.

Wu Chen let go of his palm and sat next to the Queen Mother. A nanny lifted up Yu Ruyi placed in front of the window and was about to hit Wu Chen's head. Wu Chen waved his hand, and the nanny hit the wall, and then passed through the wall fell into the yard.

The Empress Dowager looked at the exposed wall, felt the cold wind blowing in, and shouted in panic: "You just watch him insult me ​​like this?! I am the Empress Dowager!"
