Chapter 398: Serial Bureau: Forced into Desperate Situation
It happened that the Empress Dowager Nalan had a light orchid fragrance in her mouth and nose, which was obviously poisoned by the poisoned orchid powder. The imperial doctor took a fluke and blamed the death of the Empress Dowager Nalan on the poison of the orchid.
Although they knew that Princess Ding was probably wronged, the two doctors felt a little guilty, but their lives were more important.
Originally, things went smoothly. Empress Zhang confronted Princess Ding, but no one doubted the cause of the death of the Empress Dowager Nalan. The imperial doctor originally thought that she could muddle through like this. Who knew that she killed Lord Jiang halfway, brought Shen Guifei, and uncovered the truth of poisoned orchid fans. The princess and the emperor were even more worried about it. During the electric revolution, the poison of poisonous orchids was suspected.
As long as a doctor casually announces this matter, it can be diagnosed. The doctor no longer dares to hide it and can only tell the truth.
Although he didn't say what he was thinking, there were all people present. Who can't see the thoughts in his heart?
Zichu smiled faintly. The death of the Empress Dowager Nalan was too different from the poison attack of Poison Lan. As soon as she saw the body of Empress Dowager Nalan, Linglong, who knew medical skills, found that something was wrong and quietly told her.
Therefore, when Ziyuan, Empress Zhang and Shen Guicubine were aggressive and insisted on planting the death of Empress Dowager Nalan on her, Zichu was not panic at all, because she held this trump card, and as long as she uncovered it, she could turn defeat into victory.
After solving the puzzle, Emperor Jun Yushou, Ye Heminglu and others also hated the two imperial doctors, but now the death of the Empress Dowager Nalan is more important, so they asked, "Well, I will ask you, why did the Empress Dowager die?"
"If you go back to the emperor, there is no doubt that the empress dowager died of poisoning, but... Weichen is stupid and really doesn't know what kind of poison caused the death of the empress dowager. Weichen deserves to die, Weichen deserves to die!" The doctor dared not hide his incompetence anymore, but kowtowed desperately.
The emperor squeezed his lips and sneered when he heard the words, looking more and more difficult. He nodded and said slowly, "Okay! OK!"
The cold voice made me get goosebumps, and my heart was as cold as bone, which could not be dissipated in any case.
Unable to find out the incompetence of the cause of Queen Nalan's death, concealing the truth misled everyone, causing Princess Ding to be wronged. Now that the truth has been exposed, his life has gone nine times... The imperial doctor's heart is cold, his sweat has been soaked in his clothes for a long time, and he lies on the ground and dares not move.
At this moment, suddenly there was a humane: "Huh? Is this the fragrance of poison orchid? Why is it so fragrant?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that a strange fragrance was filling their noses. Zichu stood among the crowd and naturally smelled such a fragrance, but she felt very strange in her heart. Because there was still a corpse in the hall, and after a verbal battle, everyone realized that the body had emitted a fragrance. Moreover, this fragrance is also very secluded...
"Doctor, does it mean that after taking a small amount of poison orchid, it will leave such a fragrance?"
Seeing Zi's first question, the imperial doctor did not dare to be careless. He quickly condensed slightly, and then shook his head decisively and said, "As the princess said, the fragrance of poison orchid will never be so elegant and touching. Moreover, the Empress Dowager only took a very small amount of money, and she would not emit such a strange fragrance.
When Zi first heard the words, her heart suddenly flashed a clue in her mind, but she couldn't connect in a hurry. But in her confusion with the crowd, she heard Empress Zhang say, "Oh? So this fragrance is not emitted by poisonous orchids? That's strange. There is no burning spices in the palace of the mother, and there is no sachet on us that has such a magical effect. Could it be that this fragrance is related to the cause of death of the mother?
Hearing what she said, Zichu, Jun Yusultin and others were all moved. Zichu seemed to feel that something was gradually emerging from the surface, but between his thoughts, he suddenly heard a humane: "It's the green osmanthus outside the hall! I remember that when I came to the Empress Dowager's bedroom last autumn, the green osmanthus was blooming at the right time, and the fragrance was exactly the same as now! Yes, it must be Green Gui!"
She spoke as an inconspicuous concubine. Zichu couldn't even remember her identity and name. Not to mention her, in fact, Junyu Suan can't remember it very much. However, her words seemed to break the calmness of a pool, and then the maid beside the Empress Dowager Nalan also echoed: "This fragrance is indeed like the fragrance of green osmanthus outside the palace in autumn, but since the Empress Dowager took a nap, the window of the bedroom has not been opened. It can't be from outside the palace. It floated in!"
"Yes, now the doors and windows are closed. This fragrance is really strange. I didn't notice it when I came in before, but now it's getting more and more fragrant..."
As if to prove everyone's words, Emperor Junyu immediately ordered people to fold a few green osmanthus. After smelling the fragrance, there was a humane: "The fragrance is very similar, but the strange thing is that the fragrance in our hall seems to be a little stronger than the fragrance of green osmanthus, which is a little strange."
Yes, if the fragrance in the hall is just the smell of green osmanthus floating in outside, it is absolutely impossible to be stronger than the fragrance of green osmanthus itself. After everyone present realized this problem, they all looked down on each other. Because if the fragrance comes from the body, it's really creepy.
Jun Yusulul's meditation also felt very strange. Looking at Jun Yuchen, he still maintained that stunned posture and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Nalan. And over there, the emperor also thought about his own thoughts with a gloomy face, as if everything everyone was talking about had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that both the father and son were like this, Jun Yu couldn't help shaking his head secretly. Now it seems that Zichu can only be protected by himself as the emperor. Of course, fortunately, Ye Heminglu and Jiang Jiantao are also there. Thinking of this, Jun Yusultang gave Ye Heminglu and Jiang Jiantao a wink.
When Ye Heming saw it, he naturally knew it. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone rushing outside the hall and kneeling at the door and saying, "Your Majesty, I have something important to say!"
Jun Yusun listened to the voice and said, "Is it Chen Hongqing of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"
"It's Weichen!"
Originally, the ministers of the harem were not allowed to enter without permission, so Jun Yushou took a little displeasure and said coldly, "Don't you know that this is the Empress Dowager's bedroom? What's the matter? Did you come here to talk about it? It's simply..."
Jun Yu's words were not finished, but he suddenly remembered another thing, so he quickly stopped. However, Queen Zhang's eyes were sharp, and she hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that there must be something important for Lord Chen to come here at this time. Or just like Lord Jiang, it is also an important matter related to the case of the mother. Why doesn't the emperor declare that he came in and ask clearly?
Seeing that she said this and put together the purpose of Chen Hongqing and Jiang Jiantao, Junyu couldn't say anything more. Then the emperor also paced over at this time and said, "Let him in."
"Yes, Father."
After a while, Chen Hongqing came in with a solemn face. First, he knelt down and said, "Weichen has something important to call the emperor. Please withdraw your ladies."
When the emperor heard this, he first said, and then said, "In this case, you can retreat first!"
When everyone saw the emperor's words, they naturally dared not say anything more. On the contrary, when Zichu went out hand in hand with Ye Heminglu, he was stopped by Chen Hongqing and said, "Princess Ding, please stay."
Queen Zhang had already walked a few steps ahead, but when she heard the words, she turned around and frowned and said, "Lord Chen, why is this? Only the princess can stay, but this palace can't?
Chen Hongqing looked at Empress Zhang with some embarrassment, then looked at the emperor and the emperor, and finally whispered, "Queen, forgive me, because the matter that Weichen wants to report actually has a lot to do with Princess Ding, so...".
"Oh? Does it have anything to do with Princess Ding? So, that is to say, is it also related to the cause of death of the mother?
After saying that, Empress Zhang blessed the emperor and then said, "Father, emperor, please forgive me for saying more. The concubine thought that as the daughter-in-law of the mother, since what Lord Chen said was related to the cause of death of the mother, the concubine wanted to listen. I beg your father and the emperor for permission.
The emperor didn't think much about it and quickly nodded and said, "Well, you are the queen of the palace. Naturally, you can listen to this matter. But remember, don't just say it.
"Yes, I will obey my father's will."
Empress Zhang directly put Junyu after her mind this time. Junyu sneered in his heart, but secretly clenched his fist and didn't make a sound.
But Ye Heminglu and Jiang Jiantao also quickly came to their senses and walked outside the hall. Seeing that Empress Zhang did not come out, they immediately turned back. Jiang Jiantao took the initiative and said, "Lord Chen, I don't know if the incident you returned is related to the murder of Helian Mansion? If so, there are also some inside information that I want to report to the emperor and the emperor.
Chen Hongqing nodded, because the emperor had told Jiang Jiantao to hear the case together before this case. At this time, he nodded and said, "Exactly, since Lord Jiang has also found it, let's do it together!"
When Junyu heard the words, his heart was a little more settled. He nodded to Jiang Jiantao and Ye Heminglu. Jiang Jiantao was understanding, but looked worriedly at Jun Yuchen, who was still kneeling there, silently like a wooden sculpture.
In this way, only Ye Heminglu and his wife were left in the hall, Emperor Tais, Jun Yuchen, and Zichu.
After a while, after Chen Hongqing finished talking about the case he interrogated, everyone present changed their words.
The most unbelievable thing is Zichu. She looked at Chen Hongqing and asked with a pale face, "Do you think someone in Helian's mansion confessed that I took a poison called beauty fragrance from the Geng family to murder the empress dowager?"
"Yes, Princess Ding, this is the testimony of the painting. You can have a look at it yourself, and I dare not say anything."
