Chapter 19 Show me a demonstration.
With a cry, Shuoqiu Palace was in chaos.
Bai Ri rushed to the direction of the voice, and at the same time told people: "Go to Xuan Tai Physician, and call Yuan Ning Wang!"
In his subconscious mind, the prince's medical skills are much superior to those of the imperial physicians in the palace. In the eyes of a modern person like him, secular ethics are nothing at the moment of life.
Just now, he listened to the maid's statement in the front hall. Although he had expected it, seeing the place where the queen lived still shocked him.
This is a very small side hall. There is only a dining table and a bed in the hall. There is no cabinet, let alone a dressing table.The windows of the room were sealed with three layers of dark cloth. If the door hadn't been opened at this time, and some light came into the room, the room would have been pitch black, with only a vaguely human figure visible.
For more than a month, did the queen spend her days in this room?
Without time to think about it, he rushed to the queen and saw her lying on the ground with a pair of scissors in her hand, the sharp tip of the scissors was stained red with blood, and there was a blood hole on her chest, where the heart was.
Qinglu was so frightened that she sat on the ground blankly, staring at the queen in a daze, letting her tears flow down uncontrollably.
"Tear off the cloth!"
With the emperor's order, the room became much brighter.
The light reveals the disfigured face of the former beauty.The makeup has been slack for many days, making her look unkempt, and there are marks left by the rash on her face, and scars appear on the skin that was originally smooth and white.
Her pupils have dimmed, and her vision is slack.
It was still so alive when I saw it last time.
In a hurry during the day, she pulled a veil at the foot of the bed, and pressed heavily on the wound on her chest to slow down the speed of blood flow, but the blood soaked through the veil in an instant, passed through the emperor's fingers, and seeped out.
"Queen!" Bai Tian shouted at her, "The doctor will be here soon! You can't think about anything, you're going to seek death!"
The queen opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound, only tears welled up in her eyes, rushing to her black hair at the sideburns.Her eyes at this moment are very complicated, so complicated that Bai Tian can't read them.
There are too many unspeakable emotions, but if it is simple, it is simple-it is the look of a woman saying goodbye to her husband.
When King Yuanning arrived, the Queen had already passed away.When the prince entered the door, he saw that the emperor was still pressing hard on the wound on the queen's chest, talking to her and telling her not to sleep.
It is true that the queen did not sleep, her eyes were not closed until she died, and she did not rest in peace.
Bu Ge winked anxiously at the prince. King Yuanning knelt down beside the emperor, held his blood-stained hand, and said softly, "Ah Jing, the empress has died."
Unexpectedly, the emperor came back to his senses. He was very calm and did not mourn excessively. Looking at the blood on his hands, he was in a trance for a moment, then turned to Qinglu, and said, "What's going on?"
The emperor is good-looking, but he is too thin, so when he smiles casually, he always looks a little charming, but when he becomes serious, his face is full of sadness, as if he will kill someone in the next moment.
At this moment, he was staring at Qinglu intently, and Qinglu naturally couldn't withstand this kind of aura.After wiping two handfuls of tears, Duan knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "The empress has been suffering from a strange illness recently, and has been easily agitated. Just now when the emperor came to visit suddenly, the empress became irritable and said, 'he must be here to inquire about the crime' Then, then ...Suddenly made a move...the servant did not stop the empress..."
As she spoke, she began to cry again.
Bai Li glanced at the scissors in the queen's hand, and asked, "The room is so dark, are such big scissors... used for self-defense?"
After asking this question, all the people present looked at Qinglu. The queen's room was covered with a table and a bed, which was usually covered in darkness. In broad daylight, she could only see a vague shadow. She couldn't see anything clearly. What to do?If it is a delicate work such as cutting nails, there is no need for large scissors that can pierce through the heart and more than seven inches.
Qinglu kowtowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the scissors are only brought by the empress, and the servants don't know what she wants to cut when they say they are cutting things. As soon as they brought them, His Majesty came..."
But the emperor came at an unfortunate time.
Bai Zhou snorted coldly, picked up the scissors still in the queen's hand with bloody hands, handed them to Qinglu, and said, "How did the queen kill herself just now?"
Qinglu raised her eyes and looked at the emperor with doubts on her face.
"Demonstrate it to me." As he spoke, he handed the scissors to Qinglu again.
Qing Lu still didn't answer, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please spare the servant girl, the room was too dark just now, the servant girl finished carrying the scissors for the empress, and His Majesty came, the servant servant advised the empress to open the door curtain, just turned around and opened the curtain When you say it... Your Majesty... Your Majesty just committed suicide."
After replying, he knelt on the ground and sobbed.
"Your Majesty, the... monster that disturbed South Mexico at night has been found."
The person who answered was Chen Xingning, the governor of the Internal Servant Court.
Turning around during the day, he saw the young Dutong standing outside the door, with one hand resting on the knife at his waist, and the other controlling a man with disheveled hair.
That day, I saw him wearing white clothes in a trance, which was actually a middle coat. The clothes were stained with mottled blood and were old and black. He seemed to be afraid of people, and his behavior was more like a wild animal. First, he shivered under the gaze of everyone. After being watched too much, he suddenly grinned at everyone intimidatingly.
Seeing this, Qinglu explained in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this is... the eunuch Xiaoji who was bitten by the empress. The empress was unhappy because of the rumors between her majesty and the prince. If... if rumors about her Rumors about biting people to make them go crazy, the empress is the one who really can't live... That's why the servants took the initiative to hide Xiaoji, who would have accidentally let him go out and disturb the South Moxidi."
Bai Tian listened, glanced at Qing Lu, and said in a neutral tone: "Now that your master has just passed away, you don't care about her posthumous name?"
Qinglu was so frightened that she fell down on the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.
Just listen to Bai Tian and said again: "Where's the wound?"
Qinglu replied, "It's just... on his neck."
Chen Xingning, the head of the chamberlain, was very clever, and immediately lifted Xiaoji's chin, and he could indeed see a row of tooth marks on the side of his neck.
The emperor walked slowly, walked up to him lightly, glanced lightly, and asked, "Your name is Xiaoji?"
But the little eunuch was half-crazy and half-crazy, just now he gave the emperor a slack glance after he had lashed out at everyone just now, then lowered his head again and didn't speak.
Seeing his appearance, the emperor stepped out of the room and stood on the porch.
All the courtiers of Shuoqiu Palace knelt in the courtyard, watching the emaciated Jun, pacing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, without daring to make a sound.
"Whoever can explain clearly to me the whole story of the empress' hurting people will be rewarded."
No one answered.
After a while, the eunuch in charge of Shuoqiu Palace said: "Your Majesty, Xiaoji was on duty at night when the incident happened, so...no one...no one saw it. It was not until something happened that the servant and Qinglu arrived. At that time, the queen Empress and Xiaoji have both passed out."
After he finished speaking, Bai Tian turned his head, looked through the palace door, looked at Qing Lu coldly, and asked, "Why do you want to kill the queen, and why do you want to blame the queen for hurting others?"
Except for King Yuanning, everyone present was stunned for a moment and looked at Qinglu dumbfounded.
Qing Lu was stunned for a moment, and then unexpectedly, her eyes no longer dodged, she stopped the cowardice and flustered just now, looked straight at the emperor, and slowly stood up straight, the two servants saw that something was wrong, hurriedly Hold her left and right.
Qinglu laughed, and said, "How does Your Majesty know it's me?" She knew that she had exposed herself, and it was a rare good thing, so she even changed her address.
Bai Zhou said: "Where is someone who uses scissors in the right hand when poking his heart? The queen's illness began with a sudden change in mood that caused blood quality to change. It looks scary. Even if the mood is violent and hurts people, it will not make people crazy. Crazy," he said, looking at Xiaoji, and then said to Qinglu, "What kind of medicine did you give him, but you want to blame the queen?"
After Hunjun's words, King Yuanning, who had always been calm, also showed surprise.
He rushed all the way over, listened to the statement briefly, and saw the mottled face of the queen, he was almost sure that she had porphyria.This is a rare enzyme deficiency in the body. The cause may be because she had no child first, and then she was exposed by the emperor as a fake pregnancy. She also heard rumors in the palace that the emperor is good at the south wind, and the prince's unclear tongue.The sudden increase in anxiety and stress led to secretion problems.
But this disease is extremely rare, and it was in ancient times.
Why is the emperor so convinced about the disease, and almost everything he said is true.
During the day, he didn't notice King Yuanning's gaze, but just looked at Qinglu expressionlessly.
The queen is dead, even though he has no feelings for her, she is human, let alone a villain.
But died unexpectedly...
Under the blazing sun, a chill hit Bai Tian's heart, and he felt extremely bored. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said to Chen Xingning: "If you have the ability to find out this matter, I will promote you to the official position."
The internal servants are all in charge, in fact, the official position is not low. Chen Xingning is only 27 or [-] years old, and the official rank is the third rank. It can be said that he has a prosperous official career and is young and promising.
But according to the day's thinking, the queen was murdered, and the motives behind it were strange, so he had to hide the matter first, and not use the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Supervision Institute. The most suitable person available in front of him was Chen Xingning.
Thinking of this, he added: "Whoever confides half a word about the Queen's death will die."
After coming out of Shuoqiu Palace, I went to Izumo Pavilion during the day.
The Izumo Pavilion is not too big, and it is not as luxurious as his bedroom, but it is built on the mountain, and there is a viewing platform facing west. When the sun sets, you can have a panoramic view of the flying clouds and warm sun.
It is a gentle place, and it is also the favorite place of the day recently.
"Will Your Majesty read the secret performance of General Chu?" Bugo asked tentatively.
Of course, government affairs would not be sympathetic to the emperor's mood, Bu Ge thought, in the past, the emperor would have pushed the matter to King Yuanning, but the current monarch has become different.
The emperor didn't speak, he seemed to be staring at Luoxia in a daze, but stretched out his hand.Bu Ge hurriedly handed over the secret note, opened it during the day, and saw that it was Chu Guan's own handwriting. It was hard for him, as a general, to secretly investigate the details of corruption.
After the accident in Beng'an County, during the daytime, he kept an eye out and marked the bags of relief food that were not easy to find. If the food was peeled layer by layer, it might be easier to trace it in reverse.
Sure enough, [-]% of the grain was cut off before it entered Bang'an County. These corrupt officials calculated carefully and mixed the same catty of sand and gravel in the grain to be distributed, so the grain for disaster relief remained the same, but the quality dropped.
Chu Guan went all the way to investigate, and finally straightened out the list of people who were greedy for disaster food and the corresponding figures.
It fits very well with the ratio of donations to officials and taxation and distribution of loot that was found out a few days ago.
It's just that at this moment, the culprit is still hidden in the clouds like a dragon, with neither the head nor the tail.
During the day, holding the secret music in his hand, watching the sun gradually sink in winter, and the night envelop the sky, it seemed to envelop his heart.
Suddenly the wind picked up, and no matter how hot the charcoal fire was burning in the Izumo Pavilion, the cold was getting stronger because of the large windows.During the day, he shivered, and a cloak that was still warm was draped over his body, and the clothes revealed a familiar fragrance.
Yuan Ning Wang stood behind him at some point, looking down at him with a slight smile.
"Take a break, you're going to get sick again when you're tired," said the prince, taking out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and said, "I just went to see Xiaoji's illness, he was poisoned by a hallucinogenic herb, and it can be relieved." I have already prepared the medicine, and I will send it over in a while, and keep it for a few days, and I should be able to get some news from him."
After hearing this, Bai Tian felt a little relaxed.
The prince was right, but the prince did not tell the emperor all the information he knew.
He found out that the poison in Xiaoji's body had been mixed, and the last blind drug was the sage grass.
Thinking along this line, Qinglu, like Shang Yuyan, would not be entangled with the mysterious force behind the original owner, right?
It's time to see Qing Lu, and the emperor should not know.
