Chapter 777

Xiao Fuzi said: "Concubine Huo has already called the imperial physician, and she is rushing to rescue her right now."

Linglong said: "Since Concubine Jia has already poisoned him, it is impossible for the fifteenth prince to have a chance to survive. The imperial doctor may be of no avail."

Just as Linglong expected, Concubine Jia hated concubine Huo for poisoning her and wished to kill all her children, so how could the fifteenth prince have a chance to survive?

On the eighth day of March in the 18th year of Jiaqian, the fifteenth prince died in Jingyang Palace.

Concubine Huo had lost four children before, and the fifteenth prince became her last hope.

Now that the fifteenth prince died of poisoning, how could she bear the pain of bereavement?
Just when the imperial doctor failed to rescue him and said that the fifteenth prince had died, Concubine Huo passed out and became sick with grief, unable to get up.

The fifteenth prince died of poisoning along with his wet nurse. Obviously, someone deliberately murdered the emperor's heir.

Emperor Longyan was furious, and ordered the Punishment Department to investigate the matter thoroughly, and asked Li Yu to supervise it.

The Punishment Department has always been an old man, seeing that this matter involves the emperor's heir, how could he be careless.

All the palace servants who served the fifteen princes were interrogated by the Punishment Department.

On this day, Linglong went to Jingyang Palace to offer incense to the fifteenth prince, and when she came back, she happened to meet Li Yu who was sent back from the Punishment Department.

When Li Yu saw Linglong, he hurriedly saluted, "May the empress be blessed and safe!"

Linglong raised her hand: "There is no need to be polite, the emperor asked you to investigate the poisoning of the fifteenth prince, do you have any clues?"

Li Yu frowned, and said: "The servant has asked the Department of Punishment to strictly examine the palace servants serving the fifteenth prince, but nothing can be found out."

Seeing that his eyes were a little dodgy, Linglong obviously found something, but she couldn't take it seriously in front of so many palace people, so she said: "The harem is restless, the palace is restless, the fifteenth prince can't die in vain, this matter still needs to be resolved." Just check it carefully."

She changed the subject and said again: "Eunuch Li Yu has worked hard on business, Xiao Fuzi, I will send a few boxes of purple taro balls from the south of the Yangtze River to comfort my father-in-law later."

Li Yu bowed with a smile: "Thank you Empress Empress for your compassion!"

Back in Chengqian Palace, Xiao Fuzi immediately pretended to take the purple taro ball to Li Yu's place, asked him carefully, and then came back to report.

Linglong hurriedly asked, "How is it? What did Li Yu find out?"

Xiao Fuzi didn't answer right away, but took out a piece of brown wood: "This is what Eunuch Li Yu asked the servant to give to the empress."

Linglong took it over, looked carefully at the candlelight outside the window, sniffed it on her nose, and asked in puzzlement, "Isn't this sandalwood? What does he mean by giving this to me?"

Xiao Fuzi said: "Your Majesty, this thing is not sandalwood, but strange dace fragrant wood."

Linglong was astonished and said, "Strange dace fragrant wood? But looking at it, it's clearly sandalwood."

Xiao Fuzi said: "Eunuch Li Yu asked the slaves to tell the empress that the appearance of the strange dace fragrant wood is very similar to sandalwood, but it is much rarer than sandalwood. This fragrant wood comes from the bottom of the sea. It is easy to mistake this for ordinary sandalwood."

Linglong hurriedly asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

Xiao Fuzi said: "It came down from the cradle of the fifteenth prince. Eunuch Li Yu also said that this strange dace fragrant wood itself is not poisonous, but once it meets the fragrance of flowers like hibiscus, it will produce strange poison."
