Chapter 396: Serial Bureau: One Hundred Secret

I have to say that Empress Zhang is also a skillful person. Her eyes are slightly narrowed and her mouth is a little stiff.

This is obviously reminding everyone that Song Zichu's design is intentional, but good, who would do such a thing?

The only explanation is that Zichu had a premeditated to poison the Empress Dowager Nalan. In order to prevent the future from being unable to distinguish after the incident, he deliberately paved the way in advance.

This is unable to refute the witnesses listed by Zichu, starting from the strange behavior and leading people's thoughts to their doubts about Zichu.

"Empress, since I returned to the palace, I have remembered to be cautious in my words and deeds, but this is the case. I often encounter accidents. If I were careless, wouldn't I have died long ago?" Zichu squeezed his lips and said, "As for why I did this, it's just because of a saying, be careful to sail a ten-thousand-year ship! Because Princess Hui was also present last night. Like me, she was pregnant. I know it's not easy for me to get pregnant now, but what about Princess Hui? I'm afraid it's even harder! Comparing my heart to heart, I have to be careful, not for myself, but also for the children in my belly! Speaking of which, the Empress should remember the most. At the beginning, we went out to hunt with Concubine Jiang, but it was the Empress who contracted that kind of rash with her, but in the end, it was the Empress who returned to the palace unscathed, Concubine Jiang... But there is no more news!"

Who of the concubines present doesn't know about Concubine Jiang? At this time, when the son first mentioned this matter, it was inevitable that the rabbit died and the fox would hurt them. Yes, the life and death honor and disgrace of these concubines are in the hands of the queen. But as Zichu said, it was obviously a rash together, but the queen continued to return to the palace to be her mother, but Jiang concubine destroyed a face because of this. From then on, she would never have to enter the palace again.

Thinking about that incident, and looking at the step-by-step pressure of Empress Zhang in front of us, everyone couldn't help but doubt it.

Is it possible that this time Queen Zhang is framing the princess again? Because she is jealous of the emperor's crush on the princess, she is so unscrupulous?

Shen Gui and Empress Zhang naturally looked at everyone's faces. Seeing that the situation was not good, Empress Zhang whispered, "This is wrong. The poison of poisonous orchids has been detected in the remnants of the emerald white jade flower, and the poison of the mother is also poisonous orchid. According to what Princess Ding said, the poison of the poisonous orchid in the dish is from Ziyuan, then it can only be eaten by the mother. Naturally, it is impossible to use the used remnant vegetable mother. Why did the mother poison the poison of orchid so that she died? It can be seen that this poison must have been added to the emerald white jade flower before the mother eats. If so, the person who is most likely to do something..."

She didn't go on, but the implication was very obvious.

Before the Empress Dowager Nalan eats, this dish was cooked by Song Zichu. Of course, the most likely person to poison is Song Zichu!

After her analysis, everyone suddenly became a little confused. Indeed, since the Empress Dowager Nalan died of poison, that is to say, the poison was added to the dishes before meals. Of course, the most suspicious thing was Song Zichu who was cooking...

However, according to the description of the maids of Yi and Gong, Song Zichu has always had a small kitchen next to her, so she should not have a chance to do anything!

Is it true that these maids of honor were still neglected by Song Zichu?

Or is the imperial doctor wrong? The Empress Dowager Nalan is not poisoned by jade and white jade flowers, but for another reason?

What the hell is going on?

The original seemingly clear case, after the confrontation between Empress Zhang and Song Zichu and the analysis of Shen Gui's concubine, it seemed to be more and more confusing and clueless.

How did the Empress Dowager die of poisoning? Who the hell is the murderer?

The concubines were calmer. At this time, they only felt that there seemed to be thousands of claws scratching in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to immediately clear the fog in front of them and figure out what had happened.

I finally asked this question!

Zi Chu smiled slightly and was confident.

The calculation of the Empress Dowager Nalan was easy to guess from the beginning, but because she was in Yihe Palace, she was all around by Empress Dowager Nalan. She needed to be more careful and use a small blindfold method. Song Zichu did not pay attention to it.

Although there was an accident later, the Empress Dowager Nalan died violently, and Ziyuan rushed out to accuse her of poisoning the Empress Dowager Nalan. Song Zichu did not care, because she learned a fact from the beginning that she could completely wash away the suspicion of poisoning her emerald white jade flowers, so she did not worry about it at all. The end of speculation out of the warehouse.

As for those excuses, it seems to be defending herself on the surface, but the real purpose is still to quietly smear the dignified image of Empress Zhang, especially to shake the heart of the emperor to defend Empress Zhang.

If the emperor shakes more violently, if he can prove that this matter was done by Empress Zhang later, the greater the right of Empress Zhang to be cut may be, and finally she can bring down Empress Zhang down at one time!

Song Zichu was about to throw out this killer mace when suddenly the eunuch's announcement came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang asked to see you and said that there was something urgent to report to the emperor, which may be related to the death of the Empress Dowager!"

Jiang Jiantao? Why did he appear at this time? How could it be related to the death of Empress Dowager Nalan?

Zichu stared, turned his head to look at Ye Heminglu, and looked in the direction of the door with the puzzled crowd.

Near dusk, the light gradually dimmed, covering everything in a gloomy depression. However, when Jiang Jiantao came in, he still brought a sastaking heroic posture and swept away some of the dark clouds in the hearts of everyone in the hall.

Entering the bedroom, Jiang Jiantao saw his wife in the crowd at a glance. Seeing that her beautiful face was calm, he was relieved. In a flash, he glanced past the beginning of Zichu and looked around the crowd. Then he brushed his clothes and saw the salute, and then said, "I will see the emperor, see the emperor! Hearing that the empress dowager died unfortunately, Weichen took the liberty to ask whether the empress dowager died from the poison of Lan?

When the emperor saw him come in, he frowned slightly: "How do you know?"

"If so, then Weichen will come to the right place!"

Jiang Jiantao said this and bowed down and said, "Weichen returned to the palace today and came in from Beizhao Gate. He happened to encounter an accident. Some eunuchs borrowed the convenience of entering and leaving the palace, privately brought the objects in the palace and sold them out of the palace, and privately brought the things outside the palace into the court. They privately accepted them and sought huge profits from it. They were arrested by the guards of Beizhaomen and got all the stolen goods. Originally, the matter was freely disposed of by the imperial supervisor, and Weichen should not have intervened. Who knew that the guard of Beizhaomen actually found a bag of poisonous orchid powder from the eunuch.

"Poison orchid powder?" The emperor's face changed slightly and his eyebrows frowned, "What the hell is going on?"

Seeing that Zichu and Empress Zhang were in a stalemate and the situation was foggy, and everyone was finding it difficult to understand, Jiang Jiantao suddenly brought such news, like a gust of wind, blowing away the clouds and spreading the fog, faintly revealing a corner of the truth.

Since Lord Jiang came to report, he must have found out a clue and may be able to solve the mystery of the death of Empress Dowager Nalan.

Thinking about it, everyone held their breath and waited for Jiang Jiantao's next report.

"According to the eunuch's confession, this bag of poisoned orchid powder was purchased from outside the palace for a nobleman in the palace last time. Because he bought a large amount at that time, the nobleman only took part of it and originally told him to destroy the remaining poisonous orchid powder. Who knew that the eunuch was greedy for money? He thought that the price of poison orchid powder was quite high outside the palace and wanted to sell it, but he didn't expect to be caught. Because it was involved in poison and related to nobles, the guard and the imperial supervisor did not dare to make a decision without authorization. Because Weichen witnessed the incident, Yang Weichen came to report to his father and witnessed the matter by the way.

Jiang Jiantao said in a low voice.

The room suddenly fell into silence, and the needle fell audible.

Everyone understands what he means. The nobles in the palace naturally refer to the emperor's concubines. A concubine quietly got poison orchid powder from outside the palace, holding poison in her hand, which was obviously scheme. In particular, the concubines are close to the emperor. If they wait for the opportunity to use poison to murder the emperor, it is the crime of copying the family and destroying their ancestors! If such a heinous crime is really made, neither the bodyguard nor the imperial supervisor can afford it. Seeing a son-in-law next to him, he will take the opportunity to pull him into the water.

A concubine got poisoned orchid powder from outside the palace, and the Empress Dowager Nalan was poisoned to death. As a result, Princess Hui miscified. Obviously, her eight achievements were to murder the Empress Dowager Nalan and Princess Hui.

Who the hell will this person be?

Almost everyone has such a question. The Empress Dowager blurted out, "Who is that nobleman?"

"It's Shen Guicubine of Qinglan Palace!"

As soon as the answer came out, it suddenly caused a voice of surprise and doubt. Obviously, this answer was unexpected.

When Empress Dowager Nalan was young, she was too favored and arrogant. She made countless enemies in the palace, and it was not uncommon for her to be hated and even harmed. But there must be a reason why things happen. Now the Empress Dowager Nalan is the empress dowager, living in Yihe Palace for a long time and rarely intervenes in the palace affairs. These concubines knew that she was not the emperor's biological mother, so they only had awe of her, and Shen Guicubine was the emperor's concubine. Even if she murdered the Empress Dowager Nalan and Princess Hui, how could it benefit her?

At this time, Shen Guibin, who was suddenly confessed, was obviously so scared that she was paralyzed. First, she looked at Empress Zhang sadly. Seeing that Empress Zhang ignored her plea, she gritted her teeth, kowtowed without waiting for others to ask, and cried, "Empress Emperor Mingjian, Emperor Mingjian, my concubine has no conspiracy to harm the Empress Dowager. That's it! The Empress Dowager is the highest elder in the palace. Even if she has a hundred courage, she dare not kill her. That poisonous Lan, this is just a coincidence. It's an accident. It's... Your Majesty, my concubine is wronged!"

said, crying bitterly and tears.

"Wronged? The empress dowager died of poisoned by the poison of Lan, but the eunuch said that she had bought poisoned orchid powder for you. How do you explain it? Why on earth did you want to murder the Empress Dowager, and why didn't you come from the truth?

The emperor originally wanted to ask about the poison orchid powder. Seeing Shen Guicubine like this, he knew that the eunuch was right and immediately scolded.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is wronged. The concubine did entrust someone to buy poison orchid powder from outside the palace, but this poisoned orchid powder was... entrusted by the empress dowager to buy it. After the concubine bought poisoned orchid powder, it has been handed over to the empress dowager. My concubine was wronged, and I really didn't murder the Empress Dowager!"
