Chapter 25 The Queen is supported by the Empress Dowager
Yan Ji couldn't help laughing when she saw that Luan Yuchun was shy. This man is quite interesting and knows how to be shy. Haha.
So she put on the clothes of the female corpse. After all, she wanted to fear the dead. How could she lie here naked?
"Ms. Luan, this woman seems to have died from drowning, but in fact, I am not familiar with the poison caused by being stabbed by a silver needle on the top of her head. I have studied it carefully. Could it be the ecstasy..."
"Are you lost?" Luan Yuchun's face was full of surprise and puzzlement.
"If you are poisoned, you will be unconscious, and then you will be at the mercy of others. If others let him commit suicide, you will also do it. And this poison is not easy to detect unless it is medically good, and the needle is inserted into her hair. So there is no other abnormality in the eyes of outsiders. Let's talk about the banquet.
She has studied this poison in depth. This poison is not made of ordinary medicinal materials, but is made of Lingshan snaketail grass unique to Venus. It can be said that killing people invisibly makes people walk like dead, obeying the wishes of others, including suicide.
"Sure enough, it was what my mother and I guessed. This Yun'er was killed, and this person's purpose must be the mother..." A trace of uneasiness flashed in Luan Yuchun's eyes.
Yan Ji originally wanted to brush away the remaining algae from the messy hair of the female corpse, but suddenly touched the pillow. A hard thing in the pillow made her feel a trace of coolness in her hand.
So she hurriedly tore open the pillow, and a green jade pendant was exposed. The overall color of the jade pendant was cyan, but there were silk red lines in the middle. At first glance, it was a very valuable item. How could a maid of honor have such a thing?
"This jade pendant... is green blood and red jade!" Luan Yuchun's eyes lit up.
Luan Yuchun was originally a jade merchant during his wandering period, and of course he saw the good jade at a glance.
"The red pattern in the middle of this jade is like blood, so it is called green blood red jade, which is a good jade! There is no such thing in the Flame Kingdom. It is said that the Mulin Kingdom once paid tribute to its father. Only in the palace..." Luan Yuchun was deeply touched. When he was a jade merchant, he once inquired about such jade, but he could not find it. It is said that even Mulin's own country has a small number.
But how can this cloud have such valuable items? If the queen gave it to her, why did she hide it in the pillow? Yan Ji and Luan Yuchun were suspicious at this time.
The two walked back to the queen's bedroom and told the queen the results of the autopsy one by one.
But the queen sighed gently, and she had already guessed that it was the end.
"That Yuner is my personal maidservant. She has been following me since she was a child. Now, she has been there for more than 20 years, but she didn't expect it to end up now." As he spoke, he became sad.
Yan Ji knew that this matter must not be simple, but looking at the queen's sad appearance, she couldn't help asking her.
"Who on earth wants to harm the queen? First, he tampers in the queen's medicine, and then even the maidservant. It seems that the queen is very dangerous..."
Yes, the woman in the palace is so miserable. Although she became the queen, she has no affection for the emperor, and she doesn't even want to come to see her when she is sick. She is lonely and has to be harmed again and again. What's good about this kind of life?
Anyway, Yan Ji is not envious.
The queen lowered her head and thought for a moment, but she seemed to have some eyebrows. Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in front of me.
"Is it her?" Although a sentence is an interrogative sentence, it is very sure in my heart.
"Who is the mother? Tell me quickly so that I can avenge you.
Luan Yuchun, who has always been gentle and polite, is full of anger in his eyes at this time.
Yan Ji beside her was also very curious. Although she didn't know the situation in the palace and who there were, she was really curious about who dared to poison the queen.
"Is it Princess Li..." Speaking of this, she was indeed full of grievances, and her eyes couldn't help but be full of tears.
"Princess Li!" Luan Yuchun kept these three words firmly in his mind.
The queen told Luan Yuchun and Yan Ji in detail about what happened in those years.
Three years ago, Li Guifei was pregnant, but when Li Guifei came to her Weiyang Palace, a black cat appeared for no reason and suddenly jumped on Li Guifei's body. Unexpectedly, Li Guifei fell like this. This fall actually miscarried, resulting in her unable to get pregnant so far.
At that time, she was at a loss in a panic. She didn't know where the cat came from, and she just fell lightly and miscarried and still hasn't been pregnant. Later, Princess Li put all these charges on her, and it was difficult for her to argue.
And the emperor was also angry. He even directly believed that he did it on purpose and said that she was vicious in her heart. But he suffered from the lack of evidence and punishment of himself.
Only since then, the emperor has rarely stepped into this Weiyang Palace. He has not had too much affection, and since then he has been even more ruthless.
"However, why did the noble concubine Li harm the Empress from then on?" Yan Ji was a little curious and puzzled. Generally speaking, it is a little strange to retaliate after several years.
The queen shook her head, "Actually, she hasn't hated me for a day or two. I've been on guard before, but I've been making small fights, going to the emperor to complain, bullying my maids and so on. However, since this year, my body has not been very good, and I often feel cold. Maybe she saw that I am weak now, and after arguing with the emperor about the harem, it was easy to do..."
What the queen said is true. Of course, the noble concubine Li could not bring down the queen without evidence at that time, and the queen had the support of the empress dowager behind her, and there were many ears and eyes in the palace, so she could only wait for the emperor and the queen to do it when they were most inappropriate.
"The queen has seen this..." At this time, Yan Ji remembered the jade pendant that had just been taken out of the pillow in Yun'er's room.
The queen was shocked when she saw the jade pendant.
"How did you have this?" A surprised face.
"Queen Mother, this was found in Yun'er's pillow!" Luan Yuchun told the truth.
But the queen shook her head in disbelief.
"There are only three pieces of this bloody jade pendant. The emperor himself has one, one was given to the Empress Dowager, and the other to Princess Li. Because Princess Li had just had a minor labor, the emperor was sad, so he rewarded her! Where did Yun'er come from? When saying this, the queen was a little disappointed. As the queen, the emperor did not give her the jade. Speaking of which, she really didn't have much feelings for her.
"Is it because Yun'er stole it, or maybe he got it unintentionally?" Yan Ji guessed.
The queen shook her head. Naturally, she understood Yun'er's character. She could not steal the things of Noble Concubine Li, and she didn't have the courage to do so.
So she lowered her head and thought about it, and then suddenly raised her head.
"Yun'er was ordered by me last night to investigate this medicinal material. Could it be that she found something about Li Guifei? Did you get this jade pendant, that's why you were poisoned?" The queen suddenly became clear.
This coincides with the previous speculation.
I just thought of this Yun'er, but she was too pitiful. She had been by her side and was also her own confidant, but now she has been poisoned. Such a close maidservant has been killed. This noble concubine Li is really too vicious and bold. It seems that he will definitely do it to himself next.
"Ye�. Otherwise, it is impossible to hide the jade pendant in her pillow. She may also know that she has entered danger and has not had time to report her findings to you. So I left evidence for you in my room. Yan Ji agrees with the queen.
Luan Yuchun also felt very reasonable, but he found that his mother's eyes were full of disappointment and helplessness at this time.
"Mother, don't be too sad. We have a clue now and will definitely defeat each other." Luan Yuchun hurriedly persuaded him.
He knew that he had finally returned to the palace to recognize his mother. He must help her and prevent her from being persecuted by others, which is what he should do as a son.
"Yes, the queen, don't worry. Although the people's women don't understand the things in this palace, I hope to find out the real murderer behind this matter for the queen!" Yan Ji knew that the queen's situation was very dangerous now. If the murderer was not found in time, the murderer would definitely have the next move.
And her favorite book in the 21st century was detective novels. In addition to studying medicine and poisons, investigation is also her biggest hobby, suffering from what she has not been asked to investigate for so many years.
The queen looked at Yan Ji and Luan Yuchun, and her eyes gradually warmed up. She stretched out her hand to hold Yan Ji, which was full of emotion.
Fortunately, there are two of them around her, a son and a daughter-in-law she recognized.
Luan Yuchun also admired Yan Ji more. Such a woman can have such a mind and courage, which really admires him and opens his eyes.
Yan Ji made the queen pretend to be seriously ill and could not let outsiders see her illness. She pretended to be the little maid in the queen's palace and began to secretly investigate the matter in the palace with Luan Yuchun, who pretended to be the little eunuch of the empress dowager. After all, Luan Yuchun was more familiar with Yan Ji in the palace. And in this way, it is also convenient for Luan Yuchun to turn to the Empress Dowager.
In the evening, she sent someone to the Guoshi Mansion to send a message, saying that she would return to the house three days later. The princess, whose cartilage was scattered, could not move now and could not eat alone. She could only rely on people to give some free food all day long to survive. She also had to seize the time to study the antidote. If she could not study the antidote in ten days, I'm afraid the princess would not be saved. It's not good to be starved to death.
The queen is not in power now, and in the dark, there must be many people staring at her, and the identity of the Empress Dowager is relatively safer. When necessary, Yan Ji and Luan Yuchun engage in the middle position and usually investigate the case separately, so that the effect can be better.
Luan Yuchun told the Empress Dowager about this matter.
In this palace, except for her mother, she believes in him most.
Although the Empress Dowager also knows about this matter, she still can't make a big scene. Otherwise, she will startle the snake and the other party, and she may do something more extreme.
So the Empress Dowager can only temporarily provide corresponding human and material support.
