Chapter 998 My lord, I found it!

Prince Mu's Mansion.

Just as Mu Li was about to go out, Zhong Mang knocked on the door and came in.

Zhong Mang stood at the door, hesitant to speak.

Mu Li straightened her clothes, raised her head and straightened the neckline: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, the matter you asked your subordinates to investigate has come to fruition."

Mu Li's hands froze. The thing he asked Zhong Mang to investigate recently was the medicine that Ye Lingxi's mother was given, and where did it come from.

Ye Lingxi said that that kind of medicine is colorless and tasteless, very rare, let alone bought everywhere.

"What did you find?"

"Your Highness, have you ever heard of the Poison King?"

"Poison King?" Mu Li frowned: "If I remember correctly, he died many years ago. There are no legends about him in the world, and no one has mentioned him for so many years."

"That's right, the Poison King is dead, but his subordinates found out that the cause of his death is very strange."

"How strange?"

"The name of the Poison King is derived from the fact that he killed his brother when he learned that his wife was having an affair with his brother, and later found out that his wife was pregnant with his brother's child. He first pretended to be nice to her, and then gave birth to her On that day, his wife and children were killed one after another."

"Didn't he say that he committed suicide not long after he killed his wife and children?"

"Don't you think it's strange, Wang Ye? For a person with such a vicious heart, if he wants to commit suicide, he will die on the day he kills his wife and children. Why wait until a few days later?"

Mu Li looked at Zhong Mang: "Go on."

"The subordinates really didn't have any clues, so they started to investigate from those people who made drugs in the Jianghu. After going around, they found out that the wife of the poison king died of bleeding during childbirth."

Mu Li was shocked: "This is the same as Lingxi's mother."

"That's right, this subordinate guessed that this colorless and odorless poison came from the hands of the Poison King, and the Poison King sold the poison to others, and then he was silenced."

"Then who bought the poison?"

"The subordinates found some friends of the poisonous king back then, and learned that the poisonous king once told one of his friends that he is now holding the handle of a big man, and he will surely enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future."

"So, he really didn't commit suicide." How could a person who was about to commit suicide care about the glory and wealth.

The head of the Zhongmang store: "The man said that at that time, the Poison King bowed in a direction casually, and that direction, in a familiar direction, was the imperial capital, and it was most likely someone from the palace who made the Poison King raise his hand to bow. .”

"Checked?"

"I checked."

"Say!" Zhong Mang hesitated when he came in, which made Mu Li very uneasy.

"My lord, the second prince died young."

"go on."

"The lord should know that the second prince's mother, Concubine De, also died of a massive hemorrhage, but Concubine De had an unstable fetal image and was not in good health. Back then, no one suspected the cause of her death."

"What do you mean by that?"

"My lord, it is extremely difficult for a child in the harem to land safely, not to mention the prince is still in the belly of the concubine De, the subordinates dare to guess that the concubine De concubine also died of this colorless and odorless poison."

"Then, who did it!"

Zhong Mang stood still for a long time without speaking.

"I ask you, who did it!" Mu Li's eyes were red, Zhong Mang knew it, and the prince probably guessed it.

He bowed his head and replied respectfully: "My lord, the second prince was supposed to be the third prince back then, but because Concubine De was frightened for some reason, the second prince gave birth prematurely. If he survived safely, he would pose a great threat to you, so The person most likely to do it..."

With a "bang", the stool next to Mu Li was kicked away, interrupting his words.
