The charming girl is reborn, dragging the paranoid prince to kill everyone
Chapter 125 Poisoning in the middle of the night
As the night got darker, after the eldest princess fell asleep, Tang Jiao returned to her room, lying on the couch and reading a book while waiting for Lu Changze.
Zixiang came in with a bowl of wontons and put it on the small table next to her: "Master, I asked the kitchen to make a bowl of midnight snack. You can eat some. I don't know when the prince will come back, and we can't wait on an empty stomach."
Tang Jiao was not hungry at first, but when she saw the wontons in the bowl were plump and green with green onions, her appetite was immediately aroused.
"I'm a little greedy."
Putting down the book in his hand, he picked up the bowl and smelled it. He took a sip of the soup and found that it was chicken soup.
The wontons were delicious. Tang Jiao finished the whole bowl without realizing it. The moment she put down the bowl, she turned her head and looked outside.
Zixiang asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"
"You stay here and look after grandma. I'll come as soon as I can."
Tang Jiao put the bowl into her hand, stood up and walked out. Looking at the bright night sky with sparse stars, she jumped up and disappeared into the night.
She did not leave, but came to a quiet corner of the back kitchen. In the quiet utility room, a delicate-looking woman was walking out. Her eyes were dull and dull, and her limbs were walking mechanically, like a zombie, and came to the well. At this time, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, opened the lid, and tilted it slightly.
Just when she was about to pour the medicinal powder inside into the well water, Tang Jiao appeared behind her, knocked her unconscious with a palm, and then caught the medicine bottle that fell in the air.
Heizhu landed behind her and said respectfully: "Master."
When he followed, Tang Jiao had a feeling: "She is not dead yet. Let's check and see who she has been in contact with and what she has eaten in the past few days."
"Yes."
Heizhu clapped his hands, and a secret guard appeared and immediately carried the person away.
Anyway, Lu Changze hadn't come back yet, so Tang Jiao simply walked back to Mingzhong Courtyard. When she slowly turned into the backyard, she saw someone on the corridor.
Lu Changze saw that she came out without a cloak, so he stepped forward and held her hand and said, "Why are you here?"
At this moment, she used to lie in bed.
Hei Zhu from behind hurriedly stepped forward to tell him what had just happened.
Lu Changze's eyes were deep and his tone was gentler: "Go back to the house first."
"Ah."
The two held hands and returned to the house. After entering the Mingzhong Courtyard, Tang Jiao asked Lu Changze to take a shower and change clothes first, and to talk about anything later.
Lu Changze was very fast, and when he came out, he saw her holding a white porcelain bottle and looking through it.
"What is this?"
"Take a look." Tang Jiao handed it to him and said with a smile: "I just scanned it and it was said that it is a highly toxic poison. Taking even a little bit can kill people immediately."
Lu Changze took it from her hand and looked at it, with a sinister look in his eyes: "It's really a lot of painstaking work."
Tang Jiao found it funny: "Don't those people know that a wealthy family like ours will guard against this kind of poisoning?"
The first bucket of water drawn from the well in the early morning is fed to chickens, ducks and dogs first. Some people use silver needles to test the poison, just to prevent political opponents from behind the scenes.
Lu Changze threw the porcelain bottle to Heitang and said, "Find a way to open the maid's mouth so that no one will die."
Leaning into his arms, Tang Jiao looked at him with gentle eyes: "Are you hungry? Let the kitchen make two bowls of pasta."
It was okay if she didn't ask, but when she asked, Lu Changze was really hungry.
Heitang came in from outside, looked at Lu Changze and said, "Master, there is something wrong with that maid."
Tang Jiao and Lu Changze looked at each other and said in unison: "What's wrong?"
In a darkroom in the backyard, the maid was tied to a pillar, her pale face covered with bloodshot eyes, her eyes red and without pupils, and she was screaming at the people in front of her with her mouth open.
Tang Jiao frowned slightly: "Same as the previous entourage, the bloodshot eyes seem to be seeping from the blood vessels."
Lu Changze asked Heitang, "What are you asking about?"
"Master, she contacted a private dealer three days ago who specialized in selling some ancient jade. She bought a piece from him for a cheap price. All other contacts were normal."
Heitang presented the piece of jade with good quality to him.
Lu Changze took a look and found that it was a piece of fake jade. He took it over and took a closer look. There was a faint and strange fishy smell on it.
"what?"
"Don't take it." Lu Changze took a deep breath to suppress his nausea and prevent her from touching her dirty hands; "This thing seems to have been soaked in something."
Tang Jiao asked: "Could it be related to the Feng family?"
They now have a tense relationship with the Feng family, and Feng Qi wants to get rid of the couple, as well as the two brothers, Princess Gongqin and Concubine De.
"I don't know, as long as we catch this dealer, we will definitely gain something."
Tang Jiao said softly: "Give this jade pendant to my uncle and let him see it."
"Ah."
They didn't know much about this, so they could only ask their uncle for help.
After the dog who wanted to refine his senior brother got the jade pendant, he got a reply in less than ten minutes: the powder on it contains corpse poison, cordyceps, and some special talisman powder that can absorb the soul and turn the victim into a puppet. You have to be careful, there may be magicians in your world.
The two of them were very worried about wanting to refine their senior brother's dog, so they sent some Qingling Pills, a bunch of spells, self-defense weapons, and two good swords.
Tang Jiao saw the Lingshuang Sword at a glance. The hilt was beautifully carved with patterns, the sword was crystal clear, and the sword made a sweet sound when it was swung. At first glance, it was a fine sword.
Lu Changze's sword looked thicker. The hilt was engraved with strange lines. The sword was straight and wide. The two swords looked like a couple's sword when put together.
Before noon the next day, the people they sent found the hawker's residence and found that he had been drunk to death.
Lu Changze looked at the corpse and was more willing to believe that someone had killed him and silenced him.
He did not give up and secretly asked people to explore all the hawker's relationships to find a clue.
At the beginning of Shenshi, Tang Jiao woke up and received news that one envoy from Gaya Kingdom and one envoy from Chu Cang Kingdom were killed each, and the murderer was unknown and the cause of death was unknown.
"Jiao'er."
In the room, the eldest princess sat up on the treatment cabin, apparently hearing her talking to Zixiang.
Tang Jiao walked around the screen to the treatment cabin, held her hand and said, "Grandma."
The eldest princess looked solemn: "What happened when the envoy was killed?"
Zixiang hurriedly said: "Last night was fine. I heard that when the servant entered the house this morning, he saw the two of them lying on the carpet respectively. There were no wounds on their bodies, but their expressions seemed to be like dreaming of something beautiful. Things, and a weird smile on his face.”
The eldest princess pondered for a moment and then said: "If something happens to the envoy in our country, he must be accounted for. Your Majesty will have people investigate thoroughly. Where is Fu Shang?"
"Grandpa called him out."
It was my grandfather who found clues about last night's poisoning and asked Lu Changze to go to Xinguo Duke's Mansion.
The eldest princess looked at Tang Jiao and said, "Sister Jiao, please go ahead and lock everyone in the Duke's Mansion tightly from today on. No one is allowed to go out at will."
She vaguely felt something was wrong about this matter.
Tang Jiao hesitated: "Mother is in charge now."
Since my grandmother fell ill, her mother-in-law has been in charge of the affairs of the house.
The eldest princess felt a faint contempt in her heart when she thought of her daughter-in-law who only knew how to hold things.
"Then just leave her alone and let her struggle. If something happens, you'll see how I deal with her after I get out."
It would be better to cause trouble, so she took the opportunity to hand over the control of the family to Jiao Jieer.
Thinking of something happening to the envoy, the eldest princess was worried: "It will be the New Year in a few days, and now something like this has happened."
I'm afraid this year will be difficult.
