Seventy Five Travel Accidents

Hearing Zhan Zhao's words, Shen Chuyi's heart trembled wildly.Especially when he saw that he was clasping his hand, his heart beat even more uncontrollably.

Oh my god, Mr. Zhan actually held her hand!

The temperature of his palm made her feel like touching the sun.She didn't feel enough of such warmth, but he let go.She looked at him, only to see that he glanced at his face, and the roots of his ears were red.

"Let's go."

His voice was deep, and although he tried his best to be calm, Shen Chuyi could still feel his voice trembling slightly.

Zhan Zhao is... shy.

Shen Chuyi couldn't help laughing, and didn't tease him, she put her hands together and asked him, "Master Zhan, where are we going?"

Zhan Zhao coughed, and said slowly but seriously, "Go to the imperial pharmacy."

"What poison did Concubine Liu suffer?" Shen Chuyi asked.

Zhan Zhao stepped up, and Shen Chuyi followed.The two walked side by side, and she heard him say slowly, "Arsenic."

Shen Chu nodded.Although arsenic is a poison, a small amount can cure diseases.No wonder Zhan Zhao was going to the imperial pharmacy, maybe someone borrowed the name of the sick person, collected drugs, and killed Concubine Liu by doing so.

but……

"Aside from the imperial pharmacy, are there other ways to obtain arsenic?"

"People in the palace are not allowed to leave the palace without special instructions, and the only way to obtain medicine in the palace is the imperial pharmacy. But... if someone comes to visit the palace, it is possible to bring them in."

Zhan Zhao paused for a while, then spoke again slowly.

"However, apart from a few servants around Concubine Liu, there is no one in contact with her. In the past year, no one has visited Concubine Liu's palace."

What Zhan Zhao meant was that, except for Concubine Liu's servants, no one else had direct contact with Concubine Liu...Then, the person who poisoned her must be one of her servants and maidservants...Now go to the imperial pharmacy, you should Just find the source.

"Eh?" Shen Chuyi suddenly remembered the person he saw just now. The other party was crying like pear blossoms with rain, shouldn't he have a close relationship with Concubine Liu... "Just now, Princess Xiangyang and Concubine Liu I saw in the courtyard What is the relationship with the concubine?"

"Concubine Liu is the cousin of Concubine Xiangyang." Zhan Zhao sneered, "I hadn't heard of this statement before, and I only found out after Concubine Liu passed away."

"Looking at her crying so much, she should be close to Concubine Liu, but she has never seen her in this year?"

"Miss Shen, Princess Xiangyang was a famous actress before she married the prince."

Uh……

Mr. Zhan is turning a corner and saying that he is acting...

Shen Chuyi wiped his sweat silently: "I understand..." In fact, Shen Chuyi also saw that the other party's acting was too exaggerated.

Now it is obvious that King Xiangyang and Princess Xiangyang want to trouble the emperor.I just don't know if the opponent joined in later, or if it was laid out from the beginning...

"Master Zhan."

"Ok?"

"Does everyone know about the feud between the emperor and King Xiangyang?"

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao nodded, and explained slowly, "The King of Xiangyang has a bad mind. The emperor tried to persuade him, but the persuasion was useless. In the end, he ignored it. For Concubine Liu, the emperor treated him with courtesy from the beginning. It's just...after that incident five years ago..."

Shen Chuyi smelled gossip.

"What happened five years ago?"

Yo, there was a story five years ago!

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said, "It's inconvenient for the palace to say more about this matter. Miss Shen wants to hear it. After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan will definitely tell you the details."

The palace is full of walls, and the other side of the wall is full of ears!Shen Chu understood this truth.She didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said hello.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the entrance of the imperial pharmacy.

Zhan Zhao led Shen Chuyi in. Some of the imperial doctors were making medicine, some were studying medical skills... In short, they were all busy with their own affairs.The apprentice who was still free saw the person coming, came forward and asked, "Who are you two?"

Zhan Zhao cupped his hands: "Zhan Zhao in Kaifeng Mansion."

Slowly and Zhan Zhao looked at Shen Chuyi who was on the side, thought for a while, and introduced him.

"This girl is Shen Chuyi of Kaifeng Mansion."

The apprentice had naturally heard of Zhan Zhao's name, and the two of them had already confirmed that they were from the Kaifeng Mansion, so he dared not be negligent, and immediately handed over his hands: "I have seen the two adults." Although there is no female official now, since this woman is from the Kaifeng Mansion Man, there is nothing wrong with being polite.

It was the first time for Shen Chuyi to be called an adult, and she waved her hand a little embarrassedly: "Just call me Little Sister Shen."

The apprentice smiled, not daring to call it that.

Zhan Zhao didn't say much, and went straight to the point: "Can you recommend the imperial pharmacy steward for Zhan?"

The apprentice nodded: "Naturally, both of you, please follow the villain."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to guide the two of them, and then took a few steps forward to lead the way.

Going around the front hall, on the corridor in the courtyard, he pointed to the imperial doctor who was hoeing medicine in the distance: "That is imperial doctor Xu, who is in charge of our imperial pharmacy."

Zhan Zhao nodded and bowed to him: "Thank you."

The apprentice smiled, then led the people to Imperial Doctor Xu, bowed and said, "Master, these two are adults from Kaifeng Mansion."

Doctor Xu was squatting, and when he heard the apprentice's voice, he raised his head to look at the person coming.Glancing at Zhan Zhao and Shen Chuyi, he nodded at his apprentices, turned to stand up, and saluted Zhan Zhao: "Master Zhan."

As for Shen Chuyi, the other party didn't know how to address him, so he nodded slightly to show his courtesy.

Shen Chuyi also nodded to him, not intending to recommend himself.

After the apprentice retreated, Zhan Zhao went straight to the point: "Does Imperial Doctor Xu know about Concubine Liu's death in vain?"

Doctor Xu put down the short hoe in his hand, clapped his hands, and nodded: "I heard." After thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "I know I know, but I don't know why Mr. Zhan found the little man's pharmacy?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Before being dismembered, Concubine Liu died of poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Doctor Xu was a little surprised.

"The poison of arsenic."

"The villain knows what Mr. Zhan is here for." Xu Yu said, and led the two to the living room. After asking the two to sit down, he said, "Arsenic. Wait for a while, and the villain will fetch the records."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Doctor Xu left.

After a while, the other party returned and brought a notebook.

Looking at recent records, there are only two people who have used arsenic.

One is Wang Guifei, who added a small amount of arsenic to the medicine because of her stubborn skin disease.There is also Concubine Zhu, who has been lethargic recently, and the imperial doctor prescribed her a prescription containing arsenic.Although the two of you don't take much, if you keep all the medicines in the several medicines and use them on your body at once, it may indeed cause death.

Zhan Zhao had a plan in mind, so he asked Doctor Xu, "Apart from these two, are there others?"

Doctor Xu said: "If you want to use it inside the imperial pharmacy, there must be a record. So, Mr. Zhan, don't worry, there is nothing else."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Xu." Zhan Zhao cupped his hands, "Since I have a direction, I won't disturb you."

When the two left the imperial pharmacy, Shen Chuyi asked Zhan Zhao, "Are we going to find one of these two now?"

"En." Zhan Zhao responded, his eyes flashed, and he turned to ask Shen Chuyi, "Miss Shen, who do we think we should look for?"

Zhan Zhao wanted to test her, so she thought about it seriously: "Concubine Wang Guifei has a persistent illness, and it seems that this illness does not happen every day or two. As for Concubine Zhu, it is a recent illness. If one of them If there is a problem, I think...Zhu Bin is more likely."

"En." Zhan Zhao agreed, "Then let's go to Concubine Zhu to find out."

Concubine Zhu's palace is not far from Concubine Liu's.

When they arrived at Concubine Zhu's courtyard, the other side's door was closed, and the courtyard was extremely quiet.

On the left and right sides of the gate, there are actually two door gods posted.Fierce, glaring at each other.

Shen Chu glanced at him, and asked with his chin in his hand, "We came all the way, and the doors of other courtyards are wide open, why is the door closed here?"

"You'll know when you go in."

Zhan Zhao replied, and then knocked on the door.

After knocking for a long time, I heard footsteps coming, and then a woman asked softly, "Who?"

"Exhibition of the Kaifeng Mansion."

"Kaifeng Mansion!" The man exclaimed, then footsteps sounded, and he ran away again.

Zhan Zhao and Shen Chu looked at each other, thinking about what was going on, when there was another sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

Not long after, the door opened.

The person in front of the door smiled at the two of them and said, "I'm neglecting you, please come inside."

The visitor had a ruddy complexion. Although she was as normal as possible, Shen Chuyi could still see her nervousness.

She and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, and the latter understood, and asked, "This is?"

"The servant is Liu Shuang, Concubine Zhu's maid."

"How is Concubine Zhu doing now?" Shen Chuyi asked casually.

"Concubine is fine, but she has been suffering from insomnia recently." Liu Shuang said with a sigh.

Insomnia?

Didn't you say that sleeping sickness was called?Still insomnia?

"When did this start?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Liu Shuang was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while and said, "It's been a while."

Zhan Zhao frowned and didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Shuang led the two of them to the front hall, just at that moment Zhu Bin also got dressed and walked out.Concubine Zhu has a pretty face and a slender figure, a rare beauty.The other party was wearing a crescent-colored dress with a white shawl outside. He had obviously dressed up carefully, but his brows were full of exhaustion.Her steps are frivolous, and she seems to be weak when being supported.When he came, his eyes touched Zhan Zhao and then quickly glanced away.

"Zhan Zhao of the Kaifeng Mansion has seen Concubine Zhu."

"Shen Chu met Concubine Zhu for the first time."

Seeing the two saluting, Concubine Zhu immediately said: "There is no need to be more polite, please sit down."

Zhan Zhao and Shen Chuyi sat down, Zhan Zhao observed the surrounding scene, Shen Chuyi asked with concern, "Concubine Zhu, are you alright?"

Concubine Zhu smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's winter and I'm too sleepy."

"Hey, didn't Liushuang say that you have insomnia?" Shen Chuyi asked with big eyes blinking.

Concubine Zhu was obviously taken aback, she glared at Liu Shuang, and then smiled: "Why do you suffer from insomnia? I've been so sleepy lately." As she spoke, she looked at Liu Shuang, "Liu Shuang, did you remember wrongly?"

Liu Shuang immediately knelt down, and said with trembling lips, "Liu Shuang made a mistake. The master is sleepy, where is the insomnia?"

"En." Concubine Zhu nodded, looked at Shen Chuyi, looked at Shen Chuyi for a long time, and asked, "I have never seen this girl before."

"Now I'm temporarily staying in Kaifeng's mansion." Zhan Zhao helped to answer.

"Oh?" Concubine Zhu nodded and smiled, "I'm fine, please come and see me."

"I wonder how the relationship between Concubine Zhu and Concubine Liu is?" Zhan Zhao asked.

When Concubine Liu was mentioned, Concubine Zhu's body was visibly startled, and her originally calm face became tense.She calmed down, and answered Zhan Zhao as calmly as possible: "The relationship in the palace, that's all."

"So, there should be an intersection."

"True, but not much."

"Then Concubine Zhu doesn't understand the other party?"

"I don't understand."

Zhan Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth, and continued to ask: "The news of Concubine Liu's death came a few days ago, Concubine Zhu has heard about it, right?"

Concubine Zhu's body trembled again, she clenched her sleeve tightly with one hand, and said: "I've heard that the way of death is cruel, and I don't know who I offended."

After thinking about it, Concubine Zhu continued.

"I think, the murderer must be a big murderer. Otherwise, how could he cut a person like that... He must have great strength and be good at using knives."

Concubine Zhu's analysis was correct, but the more she said, the more deliberate she became.

Shen Chuyi rested his chin, thought for a while, and came up with a plan.

"That's right, the death is so miserable, it must be that she will not rest in peace." Shen Chuyi shrugged, sighed, and said slowly, "I don't know if her soul is still in the world, and if she will find someone to harm her at night people."

"No, no way." Concubine Zhu stammered a bit.

Shen Chuyi continued: "Why not, if it were me, I would definitely become a ghost and take away those who harmed me!"

"There are no ghosts in the world!"

Concubine Zhu stood up abruptly, her forehead was covered with cold sweat at some point.

Seeing Zhan Zhao and Shen Chuyi staring at her closely, she yawned and said, "I'm tired, so I won't send you two off."

Then, without saying a word, he left the hall.

The host has already seen off the guests, and it would be impolite for the two of them to stay any longer.

The two were sent out, Zhan Zhao couldn't help asking Shen Chuyi: "Why did Miss Shen deliberately scare Concubine Zhu?"

Shen Chuyi said, "I know she's afraid."

"Know?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.

Shen Chu glanced at the pearl, and explained: "It's a good house, but the door is closed." Then, he pointed to the door god at the door, "Master Zhan, look, there is actually a door god posted here. If there is no ghost in his heart, then Why post these. Door god, we all know that it means to block ghosts and protect the courtyard."

Zhan Zhao also noticed this when he came here.At that time, I only felt that I was out of place, but I didn't think of the theory of blocking ghosts.

"Besides, after I went in, I found that the maidservants in the courtyard were wearing plain clothes, and even Concubine Zhu didn't wear bright colors. Concubine Zhu herself answered just now, she and Concubine Liu It’s not a good relationship, so what’s there to be taboo about?”

"The words of Liu Shuang and Concubine Zhu have their sources. Let's just believe Liu Shuang's words. Concubine Zhu has suffered from insomnia recently. From her appearance, she is also exhausted and declining. It can be seen that she has been plagued by worries recently. To put it seriously, she is There's...a lot of fear."

"So, I just guessed that Concubine Zhu did something wrong, and this matter must be related to Concubine Liu. If so, I will scare her."

"Concubine Zhu's face is calm, but it can be seen that she is afraid." Zhan Zhao said, "otherwise the other party would not have reacted so violently."

"Unfortunately, she ran away before I was scared enough." Shen Chu pouted and said.

"But...Miss Shen scared people away, how do we investigate our case?" Although Zhan Zhao said so, there was no trace of blame in his tone.Instead, he pursed his lips, as if teasing her.

"Continue to be scared."

As Shen Chuyi spoke, a pair of eyes shone brightly, and all his eyesight suddenly appeared.

"Scared, until she tells the truth."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice came out slowly.

"Then it looks like there's a show to watch."
