The domineering queen is not easy to mess with

Chapter 97
"How is the investigation?" Nangong Chen asked.

Qingfeng replied: "I have no clue." He has been checking the princess every day since she was poisoned, but there is no clue at all. He paused and said, "Maybe this person is no longer in the mansion, or he is not in the mansion at all." people."

Nangong Chen's expression became serious, and his sword eyebrows frowned. If the person who poisoned her was not found for a day, she would still be in danger.

"My lord, I don't know if the seal can be lifted. It's extremely inconvenient for everyone to do things these days, especially the kitchen needs to buy food." Qingfeng lowered his head and said, this is also what he thought in his heart. He thought that the murderer must not be in the palace. inside.

Nangong Chen nodded, just about to clap his hands to let the breeze recede, his eyes saw the orchids outside the window, a flash of light flashed in his mind, his eyes narrowed tighter and said: "Go and ask the flower slaves before sending these orchids to the Orchid Garden Has anyone else touched it before?" He remembered that when he picked her up from the tub that day, there were still a lot of orchid flowers floating in the tub.

"Yes." Qingfeng seemed to understand a little bit, and he hurried to find Hua Nu.

There are four flower slaves in Prince Chen's mansion, and they are all in charge of each courtyard, and they are not allowed to wander around other courtyards without the permission of their master.

Qingfeng came to the flower slave room in Lanyuan, he stood there looking at Zuo Gensheng with cold eyes, which made Zuo Gensheng a little creepy.He played with his waist down and lowered his head. After thinking about it in his mind, he didn't remember that he made a mistake!

"Guard Qing, what do you want to order from your servant?" Zuo Gensheng's words were a little timid.

Seeing the situation, Qingfeng raised two thick eyebrows, this person is a bit timid, he doesn't look like a poisoner.After looking over, he asked, "You are usually responsible for the flowers in the orchid courtyard, but has anyone helped?"

Zuo Gensheng was so frightened by this question that he knelt down directly: "Guardian Mingjian! This slave has always been serious about work, never dared to be sloppy, let alone let others share the slave's work, all the flowers in the orchid courtyard are harvested by the slave alone. reason."

Hearing what he said, Qingfeng thought for a while and asked again: "Then who else has touched the flowers here on weekdays before sending them to the princess? Especially these orchids."

"No." Zuo Gensheng replied without thinking.

Qingfeng nodded, "Make more with dim sum." After speaking, he left.

Seeing the back of Qingfeng leaving, Zuo Gensheng hurriedly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Everyone in the manor knew that the Qing guards were investigating the poisoning of the princess recently. He didn't come here because he suspected him!To poison the princess would be to cut off the head, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare!

Zuo Gensheng went to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea and drank it to calm himself down.As soon as the teacup was put to his mouth, something suddenly came to his mind. The guard Qing asked if anyone had touched these orchids, and a figure appeared in his mind——Xia Zhu.That's right, it was her. He remembered that the princess had just returned from the Jiuzhong Palace, and she sneaked into the flower room, stood in front of the orchid, and then left secretly. This must have something to do with the poisoning incident of the princess.

Thinking of Zuo Gensheng, he suddenly burst out laughing. He had always been interested in Xia Zhu, but she was too arrogant, relying on her being Concubine Shen's close servant, he didn't take him as a flower slave seriously, he still remembered The scene of confessing to her last month.

At that time, he summoned up his courage, hesitated to speak out what was in his heart, but that ugly girl Xia Zhu slapped him severely, and told him viciously, saying that he would not urinate even if he wanted to eat swan meat. Take a picture of yourself.

This is the biggest insult in his life!At that time, the other servants were watching the joke, and some even started to scold.He swore that he would not take this revenge against a gentleman. Although he was not a gentleman, he could remember this kind of insult in his heart.

This afternoon, he found an opportunity to sneak into the Meiyuan, and saw Xia Zhu come out of Shen Die's room as soon as he entered, he walked behind her carefully, covered her mouth and dragged her to a corner of the rockery.

"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!" Zuo Gensheng held the scissors for pruning flowers and plants on Xia Zhu's neck, and he slowly moved from behind to in front of her. slid up to her chest.

Xia Zhu was startled when she saw Zuo Gensheng, her small face turned pale with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zuo, I just slapped you, why did you do that?" Li Lingguang turned around and suddenly a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she gently pushed away the scissors on her chest: "Brother Zuo, you hate me, you see you scare my little heart so much!" Qi Zuo Gensheng put the other hand on her high and rising chest.

Zuo Gensheng looked in a daze, this little girl is really cool!He immediately felt the softness in his hands, and the pampering in his throat, a gust of wind blew through, awakening his rationality, he knew that this little girl must be trying to delay her finding a time to call someone.

"Xia Zhu, it would be great if you changed like this earlier." Zuo Gensheng looked at her with a smile, exerted strength with his hands, and said with a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth: "I saw you go to the flower room of the orchid courtyard with my own eyes, and you also Putting poison on the orchid made the princess poisoned. "

Xia Zhu stared at him with wide eyes, what?He actually saw it, and the anxiety in his heart could no longer be described in words.

Seeing how frightened she was, Zuo Gensheng suddenly felt pity in his heart, "If you obey me obediently, I won't tell the prince about this matter, this matter must have something to do with Concubine Shen, right? "Hand away from her chest, casually also put away the scissors.

Xia Zhu thought that no one would know what he did, so what should I do?Let Zuo Gensheng find out.When she heard what he said, she let out a long sigh. Fortunately, he didn't tell the prince now, so she would have time to discuss it with his wife.

"Brother Zuo, as long as you don't tell the lord, I will listen to you." Seeing him putting away the scissors in his hand, she smiled even more charmingly, her willow eyebrows were raised slightly, and her eyes were full of enthusiasm.

"Find me in the conservatory at this time tomorrow, and send me some silver." As he said that, he sneaked out of the plum courtyard.

Xia Zhu kept staring at the direction where Zuo Gensheng was leaving. She stood there and couldn't move at all, she was so frightened!Her legs were already numb, and it took her a long time to walk.

"Ma'am." Xia Zhu almost stumbled on the threshold.

Shen Die frowned, "What's wrong? I'm so scared!"

Xia Zhu closed the door tightly, and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, this servant deserves to die, please punish me." His eyes were wet just after he finished speaking, and he knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

"What's the matter?" Shen Die panicked, she had never seen Xia Zhu like this.This girl is her dowry maid. She has been by her side since she was a child, serving her with all her heart, and she is also very cautious in doing things.Her eyes became a little confused, what happened to her?
Xia Zhu said with some sobs: "Ma'am, Zuo Gensheng of Lanyuan saw that the servant poisoned the orchid." After she finished speaking, she directly lowered her head on the floor.

With a "boom", Shen Die fell from the chair to the ground, trembling all over, "Why did this happen?" She didn't know why God would treat her like this, it was not fair to her at all.

She obviously succeeded, but she still let someone help the princess to detoxify her. When she thought it was over like this, Zuo Gensheng appeared again and asked him to see the process of poisoning. Isn't this God being unfair to her?

Her little face was paler than Xia Zhu's, and she didn't have any strength to say more.Xia Zhu quickly crawled over and comforted him: "Madam, don't be afraid! That Zuo Gensheng didn't tell the prince."

"Then how do you know that he knew that he saw you poisoning?" Shen Die felt less afraid after hearing Xia Zhu's words. She slowly got up from the ground and sat back on the chair.

"He dragged the slave to the rockery just now and told him that he wanted some silver." Xia Zhu raised his head slowly and looked at Shen Die.

Shen Die thought for a moment, then said, "So he wants to extort some money."

Xia Zhu nodded, "It should be so, but...what if he regrets after taking the money?"

These are the things Shen Die is worried about, if he is just greedy for money, it will be easy to deal with, but if he wants endlessly, or has other intentions, she doesn't have the heart to entangle him with him.

Suddenly, her eyes became fierce, and she gritted her teeth, "Only the dead will never say this."

Xia Zhu was taken aback, indeed!Madam was right, she stammered: "Madam, then...how shall we do it?" She had already thought about it before she came, if Zuo Gen told the prince after his birthday, she would insist that she alone did it with Madam It doesn't matter at all.Hearing Madam say that Zuo Gensheng is going to be killed, so the prince will never guess that they did it.

"Go ask him to a remote place, arrange people there in advance, kill him when he arrives, and throw his body into the wild to feed the wolves." Shen Die looked calm, not as scared as before, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth , as long as you kill him, no one will suspect her, so this matter should also end.

Xia Zhu agreed, and she immediately made preparations.

Ever since Xia Zhu left the room, she has been sitting quietly on the chair without moving, her eyes have become blood-thirsty blood red, staring angrily at the front, the Xiu Pai in her hand was pulled into a ball by her, she really hated her ignorance, Without peerless intelligence, he never succeeded in killing Tang Yanhan.

Or it could be said that Tang Yanhan's fate is so good that she has the protection of heaven.

Ever since Tang Yanhan joined the palace, the prince has never been to her courtyard once, and the sadness and fear of outsiders in his heart cannot be understood.

If she has not conceived the prince's heir in the past two years, she is afraid that she will not be able to stay in the palace.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, she got up and opened the closet and changed into a simple and elegant dress, saying that she should get along with the princess in a different way.

After dressing up, she nodded in satisfaction, and forced the corners of her mouth to look at herself in the mirror. This smile was extremely unnatural.
