Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 440 Vicious (2)
"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that Emperor Fuze didn't die of illness." Concubine Jing raised her head and looked pitifully into Ming Gong's eyes.

"How do you say that?" Ming Gongzhang Er was puzzled, followed Concubine Jing into the bedroom, and suddenly found that Fuze, whose face was already pale, was bleeding from his mouth and nose. ! The little prince was obviously killed by someone's medicine, and his seven orifices were bleeding, who did this?"

All the people present looked at each other in shock and knelt down one after another. "Quickly send the doctor Zhou to come in and take the pulse!" Ming Gong ordered loudly.

After a while, the flustered Imperial Physician Zhou came in to greet him, carefully looked at the death of the little prince, and checked the soup powder that the little prince had eaten before he died, and quickly kowtowed to Ming Gong: "My lord, the little prince's People have poisoned the food."

"Investigate, let me investigate step by step, who has touched the little prince's food, if you can't find out, you will all be punished!" Mingong lost his mind.

The former imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly arranged for someone to investigate the upper and lower parts of Yuqing Palace. Within half an hour, a court lady Jin Lian took the initiative to come forward and report: "My lord, before the little prince's dinner, the slaves brought soup powder When I was in the middle of the night, I was suddenly called by the people above, and another palace maid took the place of the servant to feed the little prince."

"Who called you?" Ming Gong asked with a stern face.

"It's Axi, the aunt of Jianjia Palace, who said she was discussing with the servants about the errands of Yuqing Palace." Jin Lian replied tremblingly.

"What? Xiao Ruzi, why hasn't the Empress come to Yuqing Palace by this time?" As soon as Jin Lian finished speaking, Ming Gong looked back and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Empress is not in good health, and she refuses to see anyone today, I am afraid that Your Majesty has forgotten." Xiao Ruzi reminded.

"Oh, that's right, Xiao Ruzi, go and call Axi here quietly, and tell me that the widow has something to look for her." Ming Gong rubbed his forehead, and gently instructed Xiao Ruzi.

After a while, Ah Xi came in and kowtowed as if nothing had happened. Ming Gong pointed to the golden lotus and the little prince who died in the cradle, and asked Ah Xi, "Ah Xi, I ask you, why did you suddenly find Jin Lian when the little prince was having dinner today?"

A Xi said inexplicably: "My lord, someone quietly gave this servant a note tonight, saying that there were spies in the Yuqing Palace and they were going to poison the little prince's dinner. In order to stop this, the servant called Jinlian to come over." Check, did you send another maid to deliver food?"

"Where's the note?" Ming Gonghu asked with a low face.Seeing that the situation was not right, Ah Xi hurriedly took out the note from his skirt and put it in Mingong's hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after Aunt Axi summoned her servant to Jianjia Palace, she only asked about the little prince's daily life. The servant gave the food to another maid. Aunt Axi even complained about the servant for this." Jin Lian quickly confirmed. road.

"This is strange, but do you know who this palace lady is taking over from Jin Lian to feed the little prince?" Ming Gong looked at everyone.

"Your Majesty, Jin Lian lied. The slaves and servants clearly saw that the person who entered the palace to feed the little prince was clearly Jin Lian herself. How could there be another person?" At this time, a girl named Xin'er among the maids came out to refute Jinlian said.

"That's impossible. At that moment, the maidservant was clearly called by Aunt Axi to the Jianjia Palace. Moreover, the maidservant still remembers the appearance of the palace maid who took over my meal delivery." Jin Lian said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, according to the courtiers and concubines, there is no need to ask. Axi and Jinlian are both telling lies. It is better to torture them both. Maybe they can be honest." At this time, among the concubines, Concubine Jiang suddenly Standing up with his head held high, he bowed to Ming Gong.
