Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Pei's heart was very frightened.

The emperor's eyes were so scary that he made it clear that he didn't believe anyone.

After all, the people who can contact Concubine Xiao Shu, in addition to the palace staff of Changchun Palace, are the people of Ning Wangfu.

Who can guarantee that it is not someone from Ning Wangfu who poisoned?

Pei's dare to promise, but the emperor must believe it.

In the hall, the air seemed to stop flowing, making people feel suffocated.

Liu Yi was timid.

Before, Liu Zhao said that the emperor was suspicious, but he did not expect the emperor to be so suspicious.

Before finding out the ins and outs of the matter, the emperor even suspected that Ning Wangfu had poisoned Concubine Shu.

Liu Yi thought it was ridiculous.

The people in Prince Ning's mansion are not crazy, how could they have poisoned Concubine Xiao Shu.

Just think about it with your head and you'll know!

Liu Yi lowered his head, thinking that it is no wonder that the father and Wang said that the grandfather was an old and confused, and now it seems that he is indeed an old and confused. And it's utterly confused.

Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao exchanged glances.

Both were not feeling well.

The emperor's suspicion is really suffocating.

Gu Jiu asked Liu Zhao silently, What should I do?

Liu Zhao was expressionless, the only way now is to wait.

Wait for Jin Wuwei to find out the clues.

A Jinwu Guard Captain hurriedly came to Wei Zhong, quietly reported the situation, and handed him something.

Wei Zhong nodded, Continue to investigate.

The lieutenant led the way.

Wei Zhong took a deep breath, strode into the hall, knelt down on one knee, Report to Your Majesty, Wei Chen found this.

After speaking, he held up a folded cloth with both hands.

Chen Dachang took the cloth, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it over to the emperor for a look.

The emperor opened the cloth with a gloomy expression, and the cloth was covered with ghosts.

written in blood. Because of time, the blood has dried up and turned black and red.

The ghost talisman on the cloth looked like someone was injured, and the cloth was used to wipe the traces of blood at will.

If you look closely, you will find that these ghost symbols are artificially written on it, not the traces left by wiping blood.

The emperor's eyes narrowed in shock. Others don't know the meaning of these ghostly drawn talismans, but the emperor is clear.

Because not long ago, the emperor saw a similar symbol, and the kidnapping case happened.

According to the investigation, this is a symbol created by the mysterious force behind the kidnapping case to communicate with each other.

The emperor's face was pale.

There are still remnants of the kidnapping case in the palace, it seems that the killing is not enough.

He threw the cloth to Chen Dachang, Do you understand?

Chen Dachang looked embarrassed, he only understood one symbol, but it was meaningless.

The old slave is incompetent, I didn't understand.

Call someone who can understand.

Chen Dachang whispered: Li Shizhong may know the symbol on it.

Call Li Shizhong to see me.

Li Shizhong had participated in the kidnapping case and had some research on these symbols. May be able to decipher the meaning on the cloth.

The emperor stared at Wei Zhong, Where did you find it? Where's the person?

Reporting to Your Majesty, it was found in the bedroom of a servant. But the servant has already hanged himself.

what?

Pei shi exclaimed, Does someone really want to harm the empress? Are there spies planted by someone else in Changchun Palace?

The emperor's face was dark and dark, as if a dark cloud was pressing on top.

Pei looked terrified.

Liu Zhao stood up and said, Please ask the imperial grandfather to allow his grandson to participate in the investigation. According to the imperial physician, the poison in the empress is very rare. If you can't find the person behind the plan and ask for an antidote, the imperial physicians may not be able to detoxify it.

Liu Yi also took the opportunity to stand up, Grandson also wants to participate in the investigation. If you dare to poison the mother, grandson will never spare those people.

Everyone looked at the emperor, waiting for the emperor to decide.

The emperor snorted coldly, This matter will be investigated by Jin Wuwei, and the two of you should not interfere.

Liu Yi was shocked. The clues have been found out, does the royal grandfather still not believe them?

He subconsciously looked at Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao's face was calm, and he had expected this result when he stood up to speak.

The reason why he had to stand up was because Prince Ning's mansion needed to show its attitude in front of the Son of Heaven.

So he begged again, please the imperial grandfather.

Saying that, he immediately knelt down.

Liu Yi followed suit, and knelt down, Please make your grandfather perfect.

Liu Yi is very smart. He clearly knew his own shortcomings, so he wisely gave up the idea of ​​self-assertion and simply followed Liu Zhao to learn.

What Liu Zhao did, he did what he did. This way, you can make sure you don't go wrong.

Now I don't ask for success, but I ask for nothing. Get through this first and then talk about the rest.

The emperor looked at his two grandsons and said with a stern face: If you want to kneel, just keep kneeling.

Liu Yi was speechless.

The temperamental character of the emperor made him completely confused.

How to do?

Do you really want to keep kneeling down?

He secretly glanced at Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao didn't move, and knelt down honestly. Then he can only kneel honestly.

Pei opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiuchong shook Pei's head slightly.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven is extremely sensitive. Any disturbance will make the emperor's heart vigilant.

Any word, the emperor will distort different meanings.

Silence, Fang is wise.

Gu Jiu calmly exchanged glances with Liu Zhao.

The two were clear in their hearts and hoped that it would be on Li Shizhong.

However, Li Shizhong's position is ambiguous.

What if he deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of the symbols on the cloth and pointed the line to Prince Ning's mansion?

Gu Jiu was deeply worried.

All because, at this moment, the Son of Heaven has no reason at all.

The emperor was stimulated to go berserk by the poisoning.

He dared to poison Concubine Xiao Shu, but he did not dare to poison the emperor.

The emperor shuddered at the thought that one day people around him poisoned him, and he might die of poisoning.

The inner fear devoured the Son of Heaven's reason, making the Son of Heaven's eyes reddened, and he looked like he was choosing someone to devour, which was particularly scary.

Gu Jiu gritted his teeth and thought deeply.

Is it possible to bribe Li Shizhong and reach a cooperation between the two parties?

She looked at Liu Zhao again.

Liu Zhao had lowered his head and did not receive her message.

How to do?

Report to Your Majesty, Master Li is here.

A servant entered the hall to report.

Announce him in.

The emperor sat on the chair with a golden sword, not angry but arrogant.

The atmosphere in the hall was low.

The earth dragon was clearly burning and it was as warm as spring, but everyone was still shaking uncontrollably.

Ouyang Fu was covering her stomach and was very scared.

She feels bad.

She is very worried about the child in her belly, what if there are three long and two short.

She subconsciously asked Gu Jiu for help.

Gu Jiu held her hand and gave her strength. He opened his mouth and said silently, Don't be afraid!

Ouyang Fu's face was pale, and there was sweat on her head.

Li Shizhong was covered in cold air and walked into the hall.

Wei Chen see Your Majesty.

Exemption.

With a glance from the emperor, Chen Dachang handed the cloth to Li Shizhong cleanly, Master Shizhong, please take a look.

Li Shizhong took the cloth and looked at it, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.

The emperor asked, Do you know what is written on it?

Li Shizhong frowned and said, These symbols roughly mean murder and revenge.

what!

Mr. Pei exclaimed again.

Gu Jiu was surprised. She didn't expect that Li Shizhong didn't take the opportunity to suppress Ning Wangfu.

However, in the past, Li Shizhong was clearly a member of Empress Ruizhen Cui, and indirectly equivalent to a member of the Chu Palace.

However, since Li Shizhong can gain the trust of the emperor, it can be seen that he has his own political position and is definitely not a loyal lackey of the Chu palace.

Perhaps after Empress Ruizhen Cui passed away, Li Shizhong had already changed his stance, standing on the side of the emperor and being a loyal minister.

Gu Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Li Shizhong is not biased towards anyone, it is the best result.

She firmly believed that no one in Prince Ning's mansion would poison Concubine Xiao Shu.

No matter what the purpose is, Ning Wangfu will not do this.

The emperor looked confused and asked, Are you sure it's murder for revenge?

Li Shizhong nodded, Wei Chen is sure that this is what the cloth means.

After a pause, he said again: Your Majesty, these symbols are the same as those found in the kidnapper case. Could it be that those kidnappers want revenge on King Ning? It was King Ning who opened the case with his son, those who Remainers want revenge and said it in the past.

Pei Shi couldn't control it any longer, and cried out, They want revenge, why didn't they go to the palace, why did they poison the empress? The empress has suffered an unwarranted disaster.

I beg the grandfather of the emperor to be the master of the empress. This is because of the grandson, and the grandson is going to catch the kidnappers. Liu Zhao said loudly.

Not to be outdone, Liu Yi said, The kidnappers are so arrogant that they dare to poison the palace and murder the empress. They can do such maddening things, and there is nothing else they dare to do.

This is exactly what the Son of Heaven is worried about.

The emperor sneered, It seems that I am still too kind. If you dare to poison Concubine Shu, do you also dare to poison me! Check, turn the palace upside down, and also drive out the rest of the kidnappers. I don't need any survivors.

Wei Zhong took the lead.

The Son of Heaven gave an order, which meant that the heads were rolling.

Pei Shi took the opportunity to burst into tears.

The emperor asked the imperial physician to do his best to detoxify Concubine Shu, and then left.

Liu Zhao stood up from the ground, Thank you Li Shizhong.

Li Shizhong looked up and down Liu Zhao, Xiaoguan just did what he was supposed to do, you don't need to thank him. Concubine Shu's poisoning is really appalling. I wonder what your son thinks?

Dare to ask what the lord of the waiter thinks?

Li Shizhong said: Xiaguan has no idea. Your son is busy, so Xiaguan will leave.

I'll take the waiter for a ride.

Liu Zhao personally escorted Li Shizhong out.

The two walked side by side with no one else around.

Liu Zhao took the opportunity to say, Ning Wangfu owes Lord Li a favor.

Li Shizhong stopped and looked at Liu Zhao with a half-smile, I don't know how your Prince Ning's mansion plans to thank this official?

How does Mr. Li want us to thank you? Please feel free to speak.

Li Shizhong smiled, Do you know why this official wants to help you? You must know that the only person in the court who can crack those symbols is this official. This official can talk nonsense, and you will be able to save your Ning Wang's mansion.

Also ask Master Li to speak clearly.

Li Shizhong smiled and said, Because this officer and King Ning have a private agreement.

Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, he really didn't know about this.

When did King Ning reach an agreement with Li Shizhong?

Li Shizhong laughed, King Ning is very sincere, and this official will naturally want to repay one or two. You can write to King Ning and tell him exactly what happened today. When he returns to Beijing, this official will ask him for compensation.

Liu Zhao looked suspicious.

Li Shizhong did not want to say more and left on his own.

When Liu Zhao returned to the main hall, Mrs. Pei hurriedly asked, How is it?

Don't worry, mother-in-law, it's alright for now.

Is it really the kidnapper who poisoned the mother-in-law? Pei was dubious.

How powerful, how terrifying, how deeply hidden, can it make a comeback after the last big purge.

If you really have such skills, just thinking about it makes people shudder.

No wonder the Son of Heaven is so irritable.

Liu Zhao said: Jin Wuwei will investigate this matter.

In fact, Liu Zhao also had many questions in his heart.

The remnants of the kidnappers are really so daring, how long after the kidnappers case has passed, they dare to start poisoning?

Given the circumstances of the kidnapping investigation, this gang was meticulous, patient, and bold at the same time. In order to achieve a goal, you can dormant for ten or twenty years.

Even if the kidnapper wanted to take revenge, he should not act so quickly with his past behavior.

Also, clues come too easily.

The remnants of kidnappers have been lurking in the palace for decades and hundreds of years. How could such a huge and mysterious organization keep criminal evidence by its side and refuse to destroy it.

Why didn't the hanged man destroy the evidence of the crime before committing suicide?

Too many questions.

Liu Zhao vaguely felt that Concubine Shu was poisoned, probably not because of the kidnappers.

Some people also understand the kidnapper symbol, and use the kidnapper's name to make waves in the palace.

Just, what is the purpose?

What was the real purpose of poisoning and killing Concubine Shu?

Shi Pei panicked, Zhao'er, tell me the truth, what's going on? Is there any danger for the maiden?

Liu Zhao said: The imperial physician will do its best to treat the empress, please rest assured.

This princess wants to know what happened to all this?

Everyone looked at Liu Zhao, waiting for his answer.

Liu Zhao refused and said, My son doesn't know what's going on.

Pei shi frowned, Could it be that the remnants of the kidnappers are really taking revenge?

In this way, wouldn't the palace be unsafe. Liu Yi muttered.

Pei Shi was worried, You brothers go back first. This princess will stay in the palace to guard the empress. The eldest daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law, you all stay. The second daughter-in-law, you have a big belly. You should leave the palace and go back to the house to rest.

Ouyang Fu's face was pale, and she was really afraid that she had three strengths and two weaknesses.

Hearing Mrs Pei calling her back, Ouyang Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether or not the kidnappers are taking revenge, the first thing is to protect the concubine Shu.

Mother and concubine have been tired for a day. Let's rest first. Empress is here, with her daughter-in-law guarding.

Gu Jiu took the initiative to invite Ying.

She knows medicine anyway, so it is most suitable for her to guard Concubine Shu.

Pei Shi nodded tiredly, This princess and Qin'er will rest first, and they will take care of you at night.

Gu Jiu nodded.

She came to the bedroom and sat by the bed.

Taking the opportunity to tuck the quilt for Concubine Xiao Shu, take the opportunity to diagnose the pulse

The imperial physician fed Concubine Xiao Shu an antidote, but it was useless. The pulse is getting weaker.

She couldn't help frowning.

What's the situation now?

Liu Zhao walked in from outside.

Gu Jiu was surprised, Why haven't you left yet?

Don't worry, come and have a look. I'll be gone in a while.

Gu Jiu tucked the quilt for Concubine Shu, got up and went outside.

After confirming that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said, The imperial doctor gave the empress to take antidote, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Liu Zhao frowned, Is it dangerous? How long?

Gu Jiu said, The poison on Niangniang's body is very strange. I have never seen it before. With Niangniang's current situation, she can probably last for half a month.

Liu Zhao said, Half a month is enough.

She hesitated for a while before asking, Do you think this was not the work of the kidnappers?

You feel this way too? Liu Zhao was surprised.

Gu Jiu nodded, The kidnapper's case, the mysterious force behind it is obviously an organization with a tight organizational structure, rigorous conduct, patience, and bold enough. They suffered heavy losses, so they should lick their wounds, lie dormant, and accumulate strength to fight again in the future. ... instead of rushing out to get revenge with poison.

Liu Zhao nodded and asked, What do you think?

Gu Jiu said in a low voice, Someone is using the identity of a kidnapper to act, and I don't know what the purpose is. But since he understands the kidnapper's contact symbol, maybe this person is also an eunuch, or even a member of the mysterious force behind the kidnapper case.

Poisoning the empress may be a personal vendetta, or it may be murder with a knife. Is there such a possibility that the mysterious power has turned against each other, and some people want to use the butcher's knife in the hands of the emperor to eliminate dissidents.

And choosing to poison the empress is not poisoning other concubines, just because you and your father opened the kidnapping case. It is just a chance to link the two things together and bring up the kidnapping case again.

Liu Zhao looked at her, Who do you think is the most suspect?

Gu Jiu shook his head, There are too many people who are suspected. I think Li Shizhong can start the investigation. After all, as far as I know, he is the only one who understands the symbol of kidnappers.

Liu Zhao laughed, We thought of it together.

Li Shizhong's gesture of kindness seemed abrupt and strange. He said that he had an agreement with King Ning, but Liu Zhao did not believe him.

It's time to check Li Shizhong well.
