Chapter 414 Queen Poisoning
The three of them first went to the place where Qin Zhenzhen was killed. There was a heavy rain yesterday and the traces had been washed away. They then went to Ning Yuan Nunnery, where the nuns confirmed that Qin Zhenzhen did go to worship Buddha often during this period, and every time
After worshiping Buddha, he would rest in the Zen room in the backyard, but he would be alone every time, without any maid.
They came to the backyard meditation room, which had been cleaned, and no clues were found.
The three of them worked hard all day, and when they returned to the city, it was already dark.
"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to meet with the Holy One to prove that the murderer is someone else and let the Ministry of Punishment launch an investigation." Qin Shuyi now fully believed that Yan Mu was not the real culprit who killed his sister, but...
"The Holy One has always thought that Yan Mu is a troublesome person. This is a good opportunity to get rid of this trouble and silence Zhenbei's mouth, so the Holy One will most likely turn a blind eye." Leng Yuxie said.
Because of his sister's funeral, Qin Shuyi returned home first.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." Leng Yuxie said to Liu Yunxiang.
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. She was really worried about Yan Mu and was very afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on.
"I want to go to kindergarten."
"Kindergarten?"
"Let's see if we can find the Queen."
If the queen is willing to help her, Yan Mu's case will be much easier to handle.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, Aunt Wen and Song Zi were worried. It turned out that a child was sick, but they had no money to hire a doctor. Liu Yunxiang first gave Song Zi a piece of silver and asked him to hire a doctor.
"Aunt Qiu hasn't been here these days?" Liu Yunxiang asked Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen shook her head, "It stands to reason that she will definitely come to see the children every one or two days. This time, it has been several days and there is no news at all. I am really afraid that something will happen to her."
Liu Yunxiang frowned. Aunt Qiu knew the truth that year. Her daughter was killed by the emperor and Concubine Ming. Will she do anything impulsive?
Very likely!
Liu Yunxiang pulled the King of England aside and whispered: "I think something may have happened to the Queen. Can Your Highness come into the palace?"
When he was in Yuzhou, the King of England got help from the Queen, so he was obliged to say, "Okay."
The King of England left immediately. Liu Yunxiang saw Aunt Wen holding a little boy about three years old. The little boy had a fever and was having a tantrum because of his discomfort. Aunt Wen hugged and coaxed her heartily.
The other children gathered around the door, watching eagerly.
There was a young one, about a little over a week old, biting his fingers and saying in a milky voice: "Grandma... I'm hungry..."
"You guys wait a little longer. When brother Songzi comes back, grandma will cook for you." Aunt Wen turned around and said to the children.
Liu Yunxiang rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll cook."
"Oh, Miss Liu, you absolutely can't do it."
"It's okay. Although the food I cook doesn't taste good, it's still edible."
With that said, Liu Yunxiang asked Yue'er to take her to the kitchen.
Yue'er helped her light the fire, while Liu Yunxiang stewed a pot of vegetables with steamed buns on top, and cooked rice porridge in another pot.
Although Yue'er didn't smile very much before, it could be seen that she was carefree. At this time, she was burning dullly, as if she was hiding something on her mind.
Liu Yunxiang sat next to her and rubbed her hair, "Yue'er, did someone make you unhappy?"
Yue'er shook her head and Liu Yunxiang hugged her shoulders, "Is it because of the pillar?"
Earlier, Han Zhao's sister was killed when her carriage hit a pillar. Yue'er witnessed this accident with her own eyes and must have been frightened.
Yue'er leaned on Liu Yunxiang's shoulder, "He... he can't run away..."
Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang felt uncomfortable. She pulled Yue'er out of the kitchen, pointed at a cloud in the sky and said, "No, he ran away in the sky. Look at how many pieces he ran away."
Yue'er's eyes widened in surprise, "Is that cloud a pillar?"
"Maybe, maybe not, but he must be a certain cloud in the sky. If you go, he will go. If you stop, he will stop. He will always be with you in the sky."
Yue'er wowed and looked at the cloud, "This one must be a pillar... uh... he ran so fast!"
"Well, it must be."
After Liu Yunxiang had finished cooking and was arranging for the children to eat, Songzi invited the doctor and gave medicine to the child with fever. After the child fell asleep, Aunt Wen came out of the house.
"Miss Liu, thank you so much. If you hadn't come, we really don't know what we would have done!"
Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, "Don't say that, madam, it's just a simple effort."
While the two were talking, Leng Yuxie came back in a hurry, pulled Liu Yunxiang aside, and whispered: "I didn't see the Queen, but I saw several imperial doctors coming out of the Queen's Palace. I found a familiar imperial doctor and asked.
What's the matter with him? He first said that the queen had contracted cold and was in critical condition. I saw his expression flickering and pressed me some more before he told the truth."
Leng Yuxie paused here and said, "The Queen has been poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
"The poison I was infected with was a kind of poison called Qi Ri Jue. The symptoms were unrelated to the wind and cold, so it was easy to be misdiagnosed."
"Then since the Queen is poisoned, why do you still talk about Feng Han?"
Leng Yuxie's face darkened, "The emperor said it was wind-cold. Even if an imperial physician diagnosed it as poisoning, he would not dare to refute the emperor."
Liu Yunxiang's thoughts changed, and his expression changed uncontrollably, "So the Queen's poison is probably from the Emperor... the Emperor."
Leng Yuxie was silent, "The top priority is to find the antidote first and save the queen."
Liu Yunxiang brought Leng Yuxie back to the Princess's Mansion through the back door, and went directly to Chongming's courtyard. He found Hongzhu and asked her if she could prepare the antidote for the 'Seven Days Absolute'.
"Seven days of death?" Hongzhu pondered for a long time, "I know this kind of poison, a very overbearing poison that first makes people unconscious, and then damages the internal organs."
As she said this, she went to flip through a thick booklet, "This booklet was written by my master, and it contains hundreds of detoxification methods."
Soon, Hongzhu turned to, "Qi Ri Jue, here is the antidote to the poison!"
Liu Yunxiang's face was filled with joy, "Hongzhu, hurry up and make an antidote pill."
Hongzhu nodded. The medicinal materials in her pharmacy were quite complete. After gathering the various medicinal materials, she began to mix and brew them according to the method in the booklet. Because one of the medicinal materials contained highly toxic substances, she refined it.
After taking a detoxification pill, Hongzhu first fed a mouse and ate one pill. As soon as he took it, the mouse fell over and died.
The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, "Is what you are refining poison?"
Fortunately, she was more rigorous and tried it on mice first. If it were given directly to the queen, they would be in big trouble, and several of them would lose their lives.
Thinking of this, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but patted his chest.
Hongzhu was also puzzled, "I obviously made it according to the recipe written by the master, and every step was accurate."
