Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 592 Deathstroke (3)
Today, when the third son mentioned the queen, his mind immediately cleared up a lot. He let go of the fourth son's hand without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "Li Quan, it's best to settle down with King Ke." A young eunuch set up Xiao Jing and went to the side hall.Xiao Jing lowered his eyelids, and when his hands fell to his sides, he grabbed the back of the third prince's hand impartially. The back of the fifth prince's hand hurt, and there was a sound of "hissing" in his mouth. He instinctively raised his hand to check, and saw his There was a half-inch long scratch on the back of the hand, but the skin was not broken, it was just a little red and swollen.At this time, let alone such minor injuries that can be ignored, even if Xiao Jing cut a bloody gash on the back of his hand, the third prince would not be able to argue with Xiao Jing.

Xiao Ze has sharp eyes, seeing this scene in his eyes, he became more and more suspicious. Since he married Du Heng, because of his love for the house and black, Xiao Ze's interest in poisons has also increased day by day, and he also knows some inside information that outsiders don't know, so he doubts Is there some vicious poison hidden in Xiao Jing's nails?

Because he was thinking about something, Xiao Ze slowed down a step. Everyone had already entered the main hall, but he was still standing at the entrance of the main hall. Seeing that his son hadn't followed, Prince Ning turned around and shouted softly: "Ze'er..."

Xiao Ze came back to his senses and quickly followed him, and said in a low voice beside his father: "Father, please don't let Xiao Jing touch you." Prince Ning did not speak, but nodded slightly to express his heart There are many.

Not long after, the Imperial Physician and Wu Zuo of the inner government rushed to Fengyi Palace one after another. Naturally, the Imperial Physician diagnosed Xiao Jing's pulse, and Wu Zuo just ordered him to check the cause of the Queen's death.

The imperial doctor checked Xiao Jing's pulse and confirmed that his body was fine, but his body was very weak, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days and was born hungry and weak.After listening to the imperial physician's report, his complexion became more and more gloomy.It's just that he didn't have an attack right away, he just quietly waited for the autopsy results.

Wu Zuo carefully examined the queen's body, but he couldn't find out the cause of death.The queen's remains were devoid of any abnormality other than being extremely emaciated.Wu Zuo's complexion was pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat from fright during the cold winter. The queen died inexplicably. He was dead if he found out the cause of death.

I waited for Mo Yue for less than half an hour, but I still didn't see Wu Zuo coming to report, I was agitated in my heart, and said coldly: "Li Quan, why haven't you checked yet?"

Li Quan hurriedly responded and ran to the Xipian Hall. When Wu Zuo and his apprentice saw Li Quan, they knelt down with a plop, their faces ashen ashes.Li Quan's brows were furrowed, and he ignored the master and apprentice who was kowtowing silently, but walked to the side of the queen's body to have a closer look.

The empress with her eyes closed and her expression of grief and indignation had become skinny and skinny, her complexion was pale and blue, like the starving people lying down everywhere in the calamity year.Li Quan entered the palace as an eunuch because of the disaster in his hometown and could not survive, so that he could have something to eat, so he was very impressed with Li Quan, who died of starvation, and he couldn't help but gasped. The queen actually starved to death, this... this is incredible.Even if the queen is under house arrest in the Fengyi Palace, the cost of the Fengyi Palace has not been reduced. The dignified Queen of Liang has starved to death. Once the news spreads, the royal family will no longer have any face to speak of.

Li Quan stabilized his mind, lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and asked Wu Zuo: "Is there any sign of poisoning in the empress's body?"

Wu Zuo shook his head with a dead face, but if the queen had a slight sign of poisoning, he wouldn't be so desperate.Countless queens have died of poisoning for thousands of years, but the ones starved to death are unique. Wu Zuo felt that he would never see the bright blue sky outside the palace again.

Li Quan looked at Wu Zuo's master and apprentice with pity, he knew that these two people who knew the truth about the queen's death would never be allowed to live in this world again. "Let's report with our family, your family will take good care of it." Li Quan whispered something in Wu Zuo's ear, which can be regarded as reassuring Wu Zuo's heart as a master and apprentice.

Wu Zuo knew that he could only get that kind of result, so he nodded weakly, kowtowed to Li Quan, then tremblingly tore off a piece of cinnabar on his waist to ward off evil spirits and handed it to Li Quan, saying in a shy voice, "Please tell me the boss will This daughter-in-law who is handed over to a villain, if she gives birth to a boy in the future, she will never do the business of a villain again." Li Quan nodded, and wrapped the cinnabar that had been thickly wrapped in paste, which had obviously been passed down for several generations. Tucking evil spirits into his sleeves, he whispered: "Our family will definitely bring them."

Wuzuo nodded silently, wiped the sweat and tears off his face with a wave of his sleeves, turned his head to look at his son and apprentice who was completely dumbfounded, tears welled up again.This child is only 15 years old and has already been engaged. The marriage is only in three months, but now it's all over. At this time, Wu Zuo is going to regret his death. If he refused to inherit his family's inheritance when he died, there would be no such catastrophe today. .

Li Quan shook his head and sighed lowly, murmured: "Let's go..." Then he turned and walked out.

Wu Zuo got up trembling, shuffled and walked out after Li Quanquan.

Li Quan came to Jinjin and said something in a low voice. Today, Prince Ning and others all went out with a sullen face, leaving only Li Quan to serve by his side. He went in as a father and son and waited for about a quarter of an hour before Li Quan took the lead. come out.The third and fifth princes immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Li, can we go in?"

Li Quan shook his head, walked up to Prince Ning and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please come in alone." Prince Ning nodded, then nodded lightly to Xiao Ze who was standing aside and looked at him worriedly, and walked away quickly go in.Li Quan walked up to Concubine De who was standing at the side, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor ordered De Concubine to collect the empress's funeral package." Concubine De lowered her head to hide the anger in her eyes, and replied in a low voice: The concubine leads the decree." Then he took the two personal maids to the West Palace where the queen's body was temporarily stored.

Seeing this, the eyes of the third and fifth princes all had a strange look in their eyes. They seemed to want to ask, but they didn't ask anything. They just watched Li Quan walk out of Fengyi Palace with the father and son.

After Li Quan left, the third prince and the fifth prince walked to Xiao Ze's side at the same time, and the third prince called out affectionately: "Ah Ze, you are in good health, don't stand in the air and catch the cold, go to the fumigation cage!" It's warm and warm over there." The Fifth Prince spoke a little slower, seeing that the opportunity had been snatched away by the third brother, he whispered to the little eunuch standing stupidly beside him: "Hurry up and make some hot tea."

Xiao Ze's heart is like a bright mirror, he knows that the third and fifth princes want to win over and please him, after all, he is now his father's favorite son, and his father is the most trusted and valued prince today.These two princes both wanted to bring Prince Ning's mansion into their camp.
