I have been in the prison for four days.
Chu Xinyuan is very silent.
He knows that there is nothing he can do now, and the more he does, the more opportunities he will have to destroy him.
Since he is not a prince whom his father loves and is willing to protect, then his life is not much nobler than that of a rat in the gutter.
It was so difficult for him to survive in the palace, but now, he is caught in a conspiracy.
Fortunately, Concubine De is not dead, and neither is Chu Jingxian!
At this time, maybe he should be lucky that those two are lucky! So, he still has a glimmer of hope!
If either of those two really dies because of this, he will probably be beyond redemption! He will take the blame for this.
After all, the foundation is still shallow. The water in the capital is too deep, and how can he compare with those who have been blessed since childhood, with maternal relatives outside and mothers inside?
Therefore, when faced with other people's situations, he was completely unable to avoid them.
But originally, he also had a maternal family and a mother!
Now he thinks his hatred is just a joke.
He is too weak!
He is so weak that with just a casual blow from others, he will be completely defeated!
It's because he didn't do enough.
He should be more careful and cautious!
A bloody lesson!
When Lao Qi was in prison, he asked his followers to bring food to him, showing a sense of brotherhood.
But he is locked up here and no one cares about him!
Sitting on the dry straw, swallowing rough food, although he only had one meal a day, he actually did not feel bitter. When he led the troops to the battlefield, once, the court's food and grass were delayed for several days, and he also had
Order, only one meal a day!
He has tasted the feeling of hunger.
Going back further, since the death of his mother-in-law, how many times has he had enough to eat?
Perhaps once, he was so hungry that he went out to look for food and fainted under a tree. When he woke up, he was in Zhaoqing Palace. Concubine De brought out some snacks, and he wolfed them down and swept away several plates of food.
And light.
That was the only time he had enough to eat, when he was seven years old!
However, Concubine De didn't know him and thought he was just a young eunuch who had just entered the palace.
It wasn't that Concubine De was blind, but that the only clothes he had were washed, and a sweeping eunuch saw that he was shivering with cold in his middle coat, so he gave him an old eunuch uniform that someone didn't want.
He was wearing that inappropriate eunuch uniform and his face looked like a kitten. How could Concubine De recognize him?
Therefore, when he heard that Concubine De had hired an imperial doctor and Chu Jingxian was imprisoned, he would send Yue Xi to bring some food to Chu Jingxian.
Chu Jingxian is different from a weed like him, he is a pampered and raised prince.
He was scolded by his father and imprisoned in a prison. He only thought it was ridiculous.
Although he lived like a mouse in the palace, he still remembered the kindness of that meal!
How could he send someone to lurk around De Concubine and poison her?
He closed his eyes, but a face flashed in his mind involuntarily.
After learning that Chu Jingxian was imprisoned, she came to visit him in person as soon as possible. Would she also think that he was the one who poisoned Lao Qi?
Could she also think that because she and Lao Qi had fought several times and had grudges, she was adding insult to injury?
He pursed his lips, his eyes darkened.
There was a rustling sound, and two mice ran in along the gap in the fence, one after another, and ran through the cell.
Chu Xinyuan watched in ecstasy!
A mouse is still a mouse, so no matter how hard you try, you can't turn into a dragon, right?
The next day, the case was transferred to Dali Temple.
Because Concubine De had repeatedly insisted that she was not poisoned, but had just eaten a bad meal, the emperor just executed the eldest palace maid and Uncle Ji and then exposed the matter of Concubine De's poisoning.
What was handed over to Dali Temple was the case of Chu Xinyuan sending someone to poison Chu Jingxian.
Dali Temple is indeed a place that specializes in handling cases, and its efficiency is very high.
They found out that when Yue Xi sent food to him, there were four jailers on duty and a small boss. It was the small boss who personally brought the food to His Majesty Seventh Prince Chu Jingxian.
But when the little boss came back, two of them had to change shifts.
Therefore, those two people are not dead!
Because three days have passed, the scene at that time has been destroyed, and the body of the jailer has been moved out of the prison and placed in the mortuary. Nothing can be seen from the scene, but Guan Jinghong, the new chief minister of Dali Temple, is a thoughtful person.
, and Shaoqing Luo Qingrong was meticulous and thoughtful, and the two worked out the details together and interrogated the confessions of the two surviving jailers.
Then, Guan Jinghong reasoned along and Luo Qingrong reasoned backwards, and they quickly deduced the context.
Although the food that Yue Xi brought had not passed through other people's hands from the time it was purchased to the time it was sent to the prison, he seemed to be the most suspicious. However, the food was inspected by the jailer and only if it was confirmed to be free of contamination did he dare to take it to the cell.
The little boss also sent it personally, that is to say, in addition to Yue Xi, the jailer and the little boss who also passed the inspection were handed over.
If it wasn't Yue Xi, then the two jailers named Zhu Jun and Li Hu were the most suspect.
But if the little boss was the one who poisoned him, he would not have been poisoned and died.
Then, the person doing the inspection is the remaining suspect!
However, Zhu Jun and Li Hu's confessions are mostly the same, but there is one difference.
Zhu Jun's confession stated that several of their jailers were there at the time, and the little boss called Li Hu to check. After Li Hu confirmed that there was no entrapment, the little boss personally took Yue Xi to the cell.
Li Hu's confession stated that several of their jailers were there at the time, and the boss called Zhu Jun to check. After Zhu Jun confirmed that there was no entrapment, the boss personally took Yue Xi to the cell.
This is the only difference.
Moreover, because the two of them were the only ones to escape, they confessed to each other that the other was the one conducting the inspection, but neither of them had anyone else’s witness!
The only witnesses were other jailers who were on the same duty at the time, but they were all dead!
However, this only doubtful point just shows that it really has nothing to do with Yuexi.
Since it has nothing to do with Yuexi, it has nothing to do with Chu Xinyuan.
After all, the person who poisoned the food was obviously putting the blame on him, so he secretly put the poison in his food during the examination. Since he was putting the blame on the person, Chu Xinyuan was certainly innocent.
Just when Dali Temple was about to continue digging deeper, Li Hu died.
Hang yourself to death in your own residence!
Beside his bed, there was a confession with Li Hu's fingerprints on it.
He confessed that he stole the poison in the name of checking his food. The reason why he did this was because he was gambling in Xinghefang and saw Chu Jingxian killing everyone with his gambling skills.
He wanted to ask His Highness Seventh Prince to teach him gambling skills, but His Highness was arrogant and he held a grudge, so he secretly poisoned him!
Guan Jinghong inspected the scene and found that the person really hanged himself, not strangled first and then hung from the rafters.
Now that the evidence is available and the prisoner committed suicide out of fear of the crime, the case is said to be closed.
But Guan Jinghong doesn’t think so.
He always felt that there was something else in between that he had not thought through.
Because Li Hu’s death was too strange.
