Silly husband and rude wife

Chapter 156
Jinnian felt a slight pain in his heart, feeling sorry for this lonely and difficult living man.He must have been very sad these years. Although he has the aura of a prince, there are too many people secretly trying to harm him, so he chooses to pretend to be crazy in order to protect himself.

But it was just such a man who actually worked so hard that he could abandon all these years, including the humiliation he had suffered, just to make himself happy.

If she is not moved, she is hard-hearted. Why does he always make his nose sour and his eyes red.

Jinyan calmed down her mood, turned around, looked into his deep eyes and said: "We will be very happy in the future, very happy, you have me, and we will have our children in the future."

Cheng Chen's heart ached slightly, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and he hugged her even tighter: "With you by my side, I will be very happy."

"How did your mother... go!" Jinnian asked hesitantly. She wanted to know him better and make up for the years when she was late. She wanted to go through the past he had experienced. Men are really distressing.

"My mother was ill, and she left after a year." A vague shadow appeared in Cheng Chen's memory, so long that he forgot her face, only the faint orchid fragrance in his memory remained.

"Sick?" Jinnian frowned. Being sick in a palace full of undercurrents and intrigues always makes people feel that it is not so simple.

"Well, I'm sick. The imperial doctor said it was because of too much worry, so I couldn't tell you the specific illness." Cheng Chen's eyes turned cold for a moment, but there was no expression on his face.

"Do you believe it?" Jinnian looked up at him. Anyway, she didn't believe it, and she had to find an explanation for worrying too much. How could she be bedridden for no reason? What's more, the top doctors in this country gathered in this palace.

"You suspect?" Cheng Chen looked at Jinnian suspiciously, even she could tell, but after years of investigation, there was no result, and he didn't even know the real cause of his mother's illness.

"The idea of ​​worrying too much is too unsatisfactory." Jinnian said lightly, with a slight sneer in his tone. Doesn't the emperor have any doubts?Or did you know it but covered it up?
"Indeed, but I can't find evidence." Cheng Chen's face was full of self-blame.

"After so many years, it must be hard to find." Jinnian looked around the room, "Hasn't everything been moved?"

"En." Cheng Chen replied firmly.

If someone had poisoned, there would have been no clues, but there seemed to be something pulling it somewhere.

Jinnian moved to the bedroom of the first empress, and what caught her eyes was the mirror that was so clear that it couldn't be clearer.She ran over quickly and touched the long-lost mirror, and a beautiful woman was reflected in the mirror, her overpowering face was even more beautiful.

Jinnian turned to the back of the mirror, saw that the back of the mirror was covered with thick mercury, and there was no cover, something seemed to become clear in his mind.

"Sure enough, she is a little girl. This mirror is unparalleled in the world. My father got it by accident and gave it to my mother as a reward. I don't know how many people envied me at that time." Cheng Chen looked gently at Jinnian who was staring at the mirror in a daze. .

"How did you get this mirror back then." Jinnian examined the mirror carefully, as if looking for something.

"This mirror was presented by an official when the father went to play." Cheng Chen looked at Jinnian's heavy expression suspiciously.

"Do you know why this mirror is clearer than ordinary mirrors?" Jinnian continued to check without raising his head.

"I really don't know about this. It must be some special material." Cheng Chen said.

"The back of this mirror is painted with mercury, which is a silver-colored liquid." Jinnian said slowly, looking at the missing corner of mercury at the bottom right of the mirror.

"mercury?"

"Mercury is a poisonous liquid. Generally, people who make mirrors will mix it with sulfur to prevent it from volatilizing. However, this mirror is made of pure mercury. If you live in this room for a long time, you will naturally be poisoned." Jinnian took Wiping her hands with a handkerchief, she continued, "There must be an earth dragon in the queen's bedroom in winter. The heat in summer and heating in winter accelerated the volatilization of mercury, causing her to be poisoned."

Cheng Chen looked at Jinnian in disbelief, and immediately understood, but it made him look at her even more with admiration.
