Chapter 763 Protect Baosi
In the Shuilong Shuren Palace, Cheng Rong, Ming Chao and An Tong held up the imperial wat to protect the excavation. After Shui Jian listened to the defense of the three indifferently, he reprimanded sharply: "The three of you understand that the excavation is In front of me, I broke into Luoyang Palace alone in broad daylight, not only robbed the queen mother, but also killed the imperial doctor Zhou on the spot, how can I easily ignore such a serious crime of treason?"

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhou was not killed by digging at all, I have clear evidence!" Cheng Rong said resolutely, cupping his hands.

"Really? Cheng Rong, you actually exonerated Du Tu?" Shui Jian was unmoved at all.

"Your Majesty, the body of Imperial Physician Zhou is in the Imperial Hospital. When he died, his mouth and nose were bleeding, indicating that he had been poisoned early, and he was barely able to stay on duty in the Imperial Hospital. I boldly guessed that someone threatened all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital not to allow him to do so." To diagnose and treat patients, and Imperial Physician Zhou did not succumb to the murderous power of the killer, so he was forcibly given poisonous soup! The reason why Imperial Physician Zhou was still able to survive until Kuang Tu took the Queen Mother to treat the disease was because Imperial Physician Zhou used a kind of The medicine that can delay life temporarily protects the heart and lungs." Cheng Rong reported clearly.

"Cheng Rong, don't scare me anymore. Who would believe what you said is so mysterious? It's your imagination to deceive people, right?" Ma Wumen laughed loudly at Cheng Rong.

"Cheng Wang, everything you said is like singing an opera, quickly show evidence!" Shui Jian stared at Cheng Rong and said.

"Your Majesty, this is some of the poisonous blood of Zhou Taiyi that I kept at the scene, and he is holding a medicine bottle in his hand. Please take a look at it." Cheng Rong presented the physical evidence very calmly.

Shui Jian took a closer look at the poisonous blood in the bottle, and immediately asked the imperial physician to examine it. The imperial physician looked at it carefully for a while, and then went forward to report to Shui Jian: "Your Majesty, it is true that the imperial physician Zhou took the poison for three hours. death, this kind of poison is called Xingong Pill, and only the Queen will prepare it."

"This is in line with Cheng Rong's analysis, but who in the palace has the courage to poison my imperial physician?" Shui Jian Longyan said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the real culprit must also be someone from the palace. The reason why the real culprit dared to do this is because he used the imperial decree as a cover to intimidate all his colleagues in the Imperial Hospital!" Cheng Rong said bluntly.

"Cheng Rong, are you saying that I instigated this matter?" Shui Jian's face turned blue immediately.

"I don't dare, but someone must be trying to kill the Empress Dowager, and Zhou Taiyi used the Life-Returning Pill for three hours in order to save the Empress Dowager!" Cheng Rong said with sharp eyes.

"Cheng Rong, don't investigate any more. Even if Doctor Zhou was not killed by Dug Tu, but Dig Tu's subordinates committed crimes, broke into the palace and abducted the Empress Dowager Ping in spite of the courtesies of the emperor and ministers, the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager is now a problem. You How can I let go of Dudu?" Shui Jian smiled sadly at Cheng Rong.

"Your Majesty, I can find where Empress Dowager Ping is, but my Majesty must promise me that if the Empress Dowager is found and she is safe, the Emperor will pardon Digging." Cheng Rong clasped his hands and said.

"Okay, Cheng Rong, as long as you can do what you say, I will certainly be hard to catch!" Shui Jian laughed loudly.

"It's really weird. Baosi was rescued by Dudu to the imperial hospital, and then disappeared without a trace. Could it be that she is a fairy and can fly to the fairy world?" The gloomy Concubine Min Gui glared at Ma Wumen in Peony Palace. He Xiaodezi said with a puzzled look on his face.

"My lady, no one in the palace has the guts to disobey my mother's orders. Since Empress Ma nearly died last time, she has only cared about the prince Baoen. If there is a very suspicious person, there is no one else except Xinyue from Prince Zheng's mansion. !” Xiao Dezi cunningly informed.

"Okay, let Lord Huagu lead the troops to surround Zheng Wang's mansion immediately, even if you dig three feet, you must drag Baosi out. Even if she dies, I will whip her dead three hundred times!" Min The noble concubine grimaced hysterically.

"Quickly, open the gate. Your lord Taiwei has ordered that Prince Zheng's Mansion is suspected of harboring the Empress Dowager. Search it immediately!" In the middle of the night, the vermilion gate of Prince Zheng's Mansion was knocked loudly. The imperial army rushed into the house like robbers and turned every house upside down.

"Hua Gu, you are so brave that you dare to make trouble in our Prince Zheng's mansion. Last time you sent people to spread rumors in the capital to slander us. I haven't settled with you yet. Don't forget, my younger brother Jiang You have to be careful of your dog head!" The first one who rushed out was Jiang Caibing, Princess Zheng, and before Hua Gu could speak, Jiang Caibing immediately scolded Hua Gu. The face is terrified.

"Concubine Zheng, I am waiting for the emperor's order. Even if you are a relative of the emperor, you must give way to us!" Xiao Dezi who followed Hua Gu sneered arrogantly.

"Okay, Wangfei, there is no Empress Dowager Ping in our house at all, let them make trouble, and when they get tired, they will all go away!" Xinyue came to Jiang Caibing's side wearing a small jacket, and supported Jiang Caibing. .

"Okay, let's search!" Hua Gu gave Jiang Caibing a hard look.

The imperial army smashed and looted for a while, but still couldn't find any traces, so they had to report back to Hua Gu. Hua Gu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and had to withdraw from Zheng Wang's mansion with his minions in resentment.

"Madam, Baosi is not in Zheng Wang's mansion at all. Now it is really a ghost. Could it be that Baosi is still hiding in the palace?" Hua Gu returned to the Peony Palace angrily. The treacherous Concubine Min turned her eyes and suddenly remembered Seeing Concubine Liu who is usually very timid and of low status, she can't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Hua Gu, have we forgotten about Concubine Liu? This woman's words are not surprising. Could it be that she secretly hid Baosi?" Concubine Min's suspicion also aroused Hua Gu's doubts.

"Your Majesty, I will take the imperial army to search again! We must cut the grass and root out!" Hua Gu said with a treacherous smile.

At night, when it was raining continuously, Concubine Liu's Jingxin Pavilion was suddenly surrounded by the forbidden army. The murderous Xiao Dezi led the palace servants, arrested people and searched for things when he saw people. He reprimanded: "You slave, I am the master of the palace, when is it your turn to bully a dog like you, tell you, you are not worthy!"

Xiao Dezi touched a hard nail, and was so frightened that he quickly knelt down to salute.

"Concubine Liu, I'm just looking for an assassin by order, and it's also for the safety of my mother, so I ask my mother to cooperate." Hua Gu saw that he couldn't do it, and quickly saluted with a pleasant face.

"Really? Why didn't the emperor say that? Did you deliberately pass on the imperial decree?" Concubine Liu gave Hua Gu a blank look.

"Mother, if you insist on not allowing me to search, I'm afraid everyone will be suspicious." Hua Gu said with a black face.

"Okay, you can search, but remember, if there is no result, I will go to the emperor tomorrow and sue you for your crime!" Concubine Liu raised her eyebrows upside down.

The imperial army quickly searched the palaces and rooms of Jingxin Pavilion, but found nothing. At this critical moment, Hua Gu sighed, and suddenly saw a calligraphy and painting on the wall of the palace, which was very strange. He tried to go forward , ready to remove the calligraphy and painting.

"Lord Hua, you are so brave. This painting is bestowed by the emperor. If you take it down, won't you offend Long Yan?" Concubine Liu refused of course, which made Hua Gu panic again, and hurriedly asked Liu The concubine apologized, and then with Xiao Dezi and a group of minions, she left the Jingxin Pavilion angrily.

"Wait! Concubine Liu, since you have had people search your bedroom, why don't people move here?" At this time, Concubine Min Gui, who had a face full of honey and a sword in her chest, led a group of palace people and rushed into the room very abruptly. came in.

"If your empress wants this painting from the emperor, you can just report it to the emperor. Why do you take it so seriously?" Concubine Liu was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat and forced a smile.

"Concubine Liu, I want to take a look, what kind of mechanism is this?" Concubine Min Gui sneered and vigorously lifted the scroll, and the powder wall quickly appeared in front of Concubine Min Gui.

"Tear down the wall!" The noble concubine showed a sly smile, and immediately ordered the left and right to start smashing the wall.

The imperial guards shouted and quickly knocked down the wall, but facing them was the opposite wing, and there was no secret passage at all.

"How is it, Concubine Min Gui, can you rest assured?" Concubine Liu was so frightened that she almost vomited her heart out, and forced a smile while covering her chest.

"Concubine Liu, you should have a good rest." Concubine Min Gui gave Concubine Liu a veiled smile, and led her away.

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous. If we hadn't opened up the bedroom and the wing room, maybe the dark room would have been exposed in front of Concubine Min Gui." Xin'er beside Concubine Liu also sighed in fright.

"Mingyue, are you there?" Concubine Liu was afraid that the dark room would be destroyed, so she hurried over the overturned white wall.

"Your Majesty, I really appreciate your great kindness and virtue. According to the last words of Imperial Physician Zhou, this slave really gave ginseng to Empress Dowager Empress, and Empress Dowager is already a little bit divine." Mingyue said with a smile on her face as she stared at Concubine Liu.

At this time, Concubine Min Gui had just left the Jingxin Pavilion, and suddenly thought of something, and immediately ordered Xiao Dezi to open the way, and then returned to the Jingxin Pavilion.

At this time, the door of the dark room was opened, Concubine Liu and Mingyue were holding their hearts and gasping for breath, when suddenly loud footsteps came from the bedroom, and the sound was getting closer.

"No, Concubine Min Gui has come back again!" Concubine Liu quickly asked Mingyue to close the door of the dark room, and walked out of the wall by herself.

"Concubine Liu, you really know how to pretend. This is clearly a dark room, but you have concealed it from me. Come and set this place on fire!" the vicious Concubine Min Gui clenched her teeth.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is also the emperor's concubine. How can you burn my palace and do it casually? Let's talk to the emperor about this!" Concubine Liu stared at Concubine Min Gui coldly.

"Concubine Liu, even the empress wants to give me three points. You girl, how dare you fight against me? Come and take her down!" Concubine Min Gui ordered her subordinates frantically.

"Stop!" At this moment, Shui Jian rushed into the Jingxin Pavilion with a face full of anger.

"Concubine Min Gui, did you poison the imperial physician Zhou?" Shui Jian shouted.
