When a passerby becomes a princess

Lin Qiu stood aside holding the newborn little prince, quietly watching this sad farce.

At this time, it was already the beginning of the colorful lights, and the outside of Kunning Palace was full of people, including concubines and palace people.

Liang Honglie sat at the top with a vicious look, and beside him stood Liang Xi, who also had a murderous look on his face. In front of him was Concubine Qin who was sitting on a chair, and below that was Concubine Feng with a big belly. There was no place for her, but After all, she was pregnant with the emperor's heir, so she was given a chair.

Wang Qian had been sending people to watch the palaces before, fearing that those restless concubines would cause trouble when the queen was giving birth, but he never expected that there would be so many concubines who acted recklessly, and the people he assigned were simply not enough. When he managed to stop the commotion in the harem, the empress had already drank the increased dose of oxytocin.

Murdering the queen, finding out who it is is a serious crime for the nine clans of the Lian family, especially now that Liang Honglie is so angry that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, and immediately send someone to summon all the concubines in the harem to Kun Ning Gong, in front of Kun Ning Palace, interrogated the maid with the paper wrapped with medicinal materials.

Lin Qiu glanced at Concubine Qin, only to see that she looked sluggish, with a thick layer of makeup on her face, and the rouge on her lips was too red, under the reflection of the surrounding palace lanterns, she looked like a female ghost who had drunk blood.Lin Qiu frowned slightly. He hadn't seen Concubine Qin for a long time. The last time he saw her was before going to Beimo County. At that time, Concubine Qin was still healthy and beautiful. Why did she become like this in less than a year?

Just as she was thinking in her heart, Concubine Qin suddenly turned her eyes and stared at herself.Lin Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then looked closely, it turned out that Concubine Qin was looking at the little prince she was holding.

The empress was murdered right under his nose. Liang Honglie couldn't believe it now. Even the maids, eunuchs, and mothers in Kunning Palace were all taken outside the door. Naturally, the little prince couldn't be left unattended, so he had to hand it over to Lin Qiu hugged.

Lin Qiu didn't know why Qin Guifei was staring at the little prince, but that look really made him uncomfortable, so he frowned, carried the little prince inside and went inside to accompany Empress Chu.

Empress Chu still had the same lifeless appearance, with her eyes half closed and her mouth slightly open, lying there motionless, if it wasn't for the ups and downs of her body when breathing, she would be no different from a dead person.

This appearance may be scary in the eyes of others, but Lin Qiu has never seen any scary scenes in the game, and even stared blankly next to the giant boss spider monster tens of meters high, so he just pulled a stool and hugged him. The little prince sat down.

There was a cry of ewes outside, because no one in the harem could be trusted, and the nanny originally arranged for the little prince was pulled down for strict inspection, so I had to find a nursing ewe and come back now. She was tied to the outside room, and Nanny Pang squeezed out the milk, boiled it, and then fed it to the little prince.

Lin Qiu looked at the little prince's face. Although he had already taken a bath, the newborn baby still had a fishy smell from the mother's womb, especially the little prince was probably well-nourished, and he was born with a head and an inch. With long fetal hair, the smell in the hair is even stronger, and the smell is not good.But Lin Qiu didn't care, because it was the first time he smelled this smell, and it was also the first time he came into contact with a newborn baby. He only found it novel and interesting.

After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his fingers to stroke the little prince's hair, and couldn't help but poke his wrinkled face, thinking why this kid doesn't look like Liang Xi at all?If you look like an old man from birth, what will you do in the future?Inexplicably, he began to feel a little worried.

The court lady was being interrogated outside, and soon there were sounds of wooden sticks beating the flesh, and hoarse cries for mercy, but none of these affected Lin Qiu, who was facing a bowl of goat milk and had a headache.

It is conceivable that there is no feeding bottle here, a newborn baby, you can't let him drink goat milk by himself in a small bowl, right?

Lin Qiu and Nanny Pang looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Let the slaves come." Liu Mama couldn't help being a little amused when she saw this appearance as soon as she entered the door.

There is no feeding bottle here, and there will be soup spoons, which are similar to the porcelain spoons in modern society. One end is large and the other end is small. After scooping up goat milk, use the small end to feed it. It can barely make the child drink it, but it is troublesome. Some.

Lin Qiu nodded, handed the little prince to Madam Liu, and quietly watched her breastfeed.

The sounds from outside continued.

There are thousands of people in this entire harem, the emperor would rather hand over the newly born prince to a young man, four horse bandits, bandits, and mothers who ran black shops, but dare not hand him over to any concubine, saying It sounds funny, but it's really helpless.

After checking, the palace lady with the medicine bag was originally Concubine Cai's personal maid. Since Concubine Cai broke the news of the prince's disappearance in front of the queen, the queen was so angry that she almost had a miscarriage, and she was assigned to the washing bureau. She was transferred to Concubine Feng's palace to be a maid of honor.

The piece of paper found on the court lady was identified by the imperial doctor. The medicinal materials that were wrapped in it would cause people to bleed during childbirth. It was obviously aimed at Queen Chu. After interrogation, the court lady also admitted that she was indeed in the empress The oxytocin was drugged.But the strange thing is that those herbs did not appear in Queen Chu's decoction.

As for the reason for prescribing the medicine, the maid also said frankly that it was because the empress got Concubine Cai to the washing bureau, which forced her to change from a big maid to a rough envoy, and was beaten by Concubine Feng for a long time. She wanted to poison Concubine Feng, but all the maids around Concubine Feng were brought into the palace by herself, and she was protected very tightly. A bad breath.

Liang Honglie kept silent and only let Wang Qian come for interrogation.

Wang Qian is feeling uncomfortable right now. He and Mei Yingying had just achieved good things on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the process was a bit tragic, his heart was really sweet.It has been raised for a few days, although it has not been fully raised, but every time I think of Mei Yingying, I feel itchy. This morning, I sent a little eunuch to deliver a letter to Mei Yingying, saying that I will go there in the evening. such a big thing.

I won't be able to see Brother Mei today, and his strong and thick arms, hairy chest and thick and long... ahem.While Wang Qian was thinking this way, he said viciously: "You said that you hated the Queen because of Concubine Feng's beating, do you have evidence?" His red face really seemed to be angry because of the Queen's poisoning, which made many onlookers All admired his faithfulness.

"Yes, I have evidence." The maid's eyes lit up, and she quickly raised her sleeves, exposing her two bruised arms, and said, "Mr. Wang, please see, Empress Feng will beat us up every day and burn us with a scythe." , Many sisters were beaten to death by her, and their bodies were thrown into the incinerator and burned."

When Wang Qian saw her two arms, he was shocked. Are these still human arms?I saw whip wounds, burns, and even knife wounds all over the entire arm. The most frightening thing was that because there was no medicine, many places festered and pus could even be seen inside. The maggots were wriggling. Although Wang Qian was used to seeing all kinds of wounds, he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

"You are wronged, Your Majesty~" Concubine Feng immediately shouted: "This lowly servant girl is talking nonsense. This concubine has never beaten any of the servants in the palace. This lowly maidservant was clearly sent by others to frame my concubine! I beg the emperor to make decisions for my concubine." Ah." She yelled sadly, but she sat there motionless, not even lifting her buttocks, which can be said to be extremely arrogant.She touched her protruding belly, and glanced triumphantly at Concubine Qin next to her. Although she didn't know who killed the queen, the queen couldn't wake up now. As long as she gave birth to the emperor's heir, she would become a concubine. The only concubine in the harem who has a prince, the queen will be hers sooner or later, the old woman of the Qin family should have left long ago.

But she never thought about whether the emperor would let a vicious and vicious woman be the empress, she only thought that the mother is more expensive than the child.

Wang Qian forced his eyes away from those terrifying arms, and asked how to get the medicinal materials, how to avoid the guards, etc., the maid answered them one by one, with a very honest look, except that Concubine Feng abused the palace people, Take all the blame on yourself.

"Did you really put that medicine in the queen's soup?" Wang Qian asked again for the last time.

The maid said with certainty: "Yes, at that time there was only a little maid watching the fire in the compartment. When I took her out to get the charcoal, I went in and poured the medicine into the medicine pot, and then hid it in the cylinder behind the shelf. A little father-in-law came in to get the medicine, and I waited for them to leave before coming out."

"You said there was only one little maid watching the fire?" Wang Qian asked with a strange expression.

"Yes." The maid nodded repeatedly.

Wang Yuanjuan, who had already woken up, stepped forward and said: "Mr. Wang, this maid is lying. I have been present during the boiling of the medicine. Although I don't know why there is a lot of medicine in the dregs of the medicine, I always take the medicine and boil it." He never left. Moreover, it was a young father-in-law who made the medicine at that time, not a court lady." It was actually very dangerous for him to say that, if he could not catch the murderer, he would have to bear all the charges, but he also thought very clearly , Only by telling the truth can the murderer be caught, otherwise he will surely die.

The maid widened her eyes and shouted: "Impossible, I remember very clearly, there was only a little maid in red watching the fire, and no one else."

"Maybe you can recognize what that little maid looks like?" Wang Qian asked.

The maid frowned and said, "At that time, she kept her back to me. She was about twelve or thirteen years old from the back, and she didn't see the front..." The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and her face became paler and paler, because she suddenly thought, what if It was brewing medicine for the queen, how could it be possible that there was no imperial doctor watching over it, how could it be possible to give it to a young maid of twelve or thirteen years old?

Liang Honglie had a gloomy face all the time, and only then did he suddenly say: "If you tell me who ordered you to administer the medicine, I will reward you with a dead body and spare the lives of your whole family, otherwise none will be spared and all will be cut in half."
