Seeing that the emotions between the two parties became more and more intense, Bai Su had to reassure them that the temple would definitely give them a result, and then he temporarily stabilized the emotions of the attendants.
After all, the emperor's attitude has now reached the hearts of these people. If they really want to avenge their master, they have to temporarily attach themselves to the temple.
Despite this, they responded with great hostility to the temple.
Lin Mengya is not worried about this.
Whether it is Bai Su, Cai Ru, or Deputy Palace Master Qin, they can temporarily stabilize these people. .??.
The most important thing now is to find out the cause of Hou Zun's poisoning.
Anyway, under the surveillance of those attendants, Lin Mengya and Bai Su finally entered the interior of the cave.
Due to the mountain topography, the temperature here is extremely low, and the material of Long Tianyu's coffin is special. Even if the body of the empress is preserved for ten days and a half, it will not rot.
"The holy body of the empress is right there, you are not allowed to move it!"
The nun who had made the most fuss before turned around and warned them sternly.
Bai Su nodded, not caring about the other party's attitude.
It can only mean that for that old lady, the queen is the only master she is loyal to.
"Mammy." Lin Mengya said respectfully, "This is the shroud specially prepared by my wife for the empress. I also ask mama to help her change into the shroud so that she can leave in a more dignified manner."
Lin Mengya's dress was gentle and harmless, and no one would have thought that Tianjin was the wife of the palace master who had been tit-for-tat with the empress just a few days ago.
When the nanny saw the shroud, she couldn't help but feel sad.
His eyes turned red instantly, and he took the shroud from her hand tremblingly.
"My dear mistress! I will serve you until your last journey."
Lin Mengya watched as grandma gently lifted the queen up and put the shroud on her body little by little.
As for the clothes she changed into, Lin Mengya kept them on the pretext of going out and burning them.
A shroud, in exchange for grandma no longer looking coldly at them.
After all, besides her, only Lin Mengya respects the queen the most.
And she took advantage of the situation and asked her grandma about some things.
"Dead people cannot be resurrected. Please express your condolences and accept the change. My wife said that no matter what you need, you can ask her for it. As for the cause of death of the empress, do you have any clues?"
The grandma suddenly shouted as if she was very angry, "If you hadn't deliberately targeted me, how could my master be poisoned to death? I think it's your wife who has a grudge against our master, so she did this!"
Bai Su didn't want to hear this.
"You'd better speak with respect, old man! My wife acts openly and aboveboard, and the Queen Mother and my wife don't have a deep relationship with each other. Why are you so sure that it was my wife who did it?"
She felt sorry for her master, Bai Su is not someone to be trifled with either.
When the grandma saw that she couldn't say anything, she bit her stubbornness to death.
"Everyone in the world doesn't know that your wife studied under the Poison Saint! It can be seen that she is a vicious-hearted person. She must think that my mother-in-law is in his way, so she will secretly murder her next time!"
"You are so arrogant and unreasonable!" Bai Su was too lazy to argue with such a person.
"I tell you that my wife has a kind heart and is the most kind-hearted person. If you seriously hurt my wife like this again, I will be rude to you!"
The nun sneered, puffed out her chest, and said provocatively, "What kind of master is the slave? Come on, kill me. If your wife kills my queen, you can kill me too."
Good, I don’t have to settle accounts with others anymore!”
Bai Su was about to draw his long sword in an instant, but was finally stopped by Lin Mengya.
"Don't be impulsive."
She gave Bai Su a look.
Although the latter was angry, he still did not reveal his weapon.
Lin Mengya inadvertently caught the flash of regret in the grandma's eyes.
Fortunately, she didn't let Bai Su do anything impulsively. Now one person is dead. If something happens to grandma again, she and Bai Su will be ruined.
"Both of you, calm down. I'm going to offer a stick of incense to the empress, and then we'll leave."
In the end, Bai Su was comforted by her and did not have the same experience as that old nanny.
She went to offer incense to the Queen, and at the same time, all the information about the Queen was left in her system.
"Bah, the weasel has no good intentions in paying New Year greetings to the chicken!"
The nanny seemed to be crazy, and kept cursing and making noises behind them.
Even Bai Su noticed something was wrong and did not lose control despite his repeated provocations.
The master and servant quickly walked out of the cave.
"Master, that old woman did it on purpose."
Lin Mengya nodded and said "hmm".
What she gained this time was not small.
The empress was indeed poisoned to death, but it was not a strange poison but an ordinary deadly poison.
Ordinarily, such medicine should not appear in the temple.
Moreover, the amount of drug found in Hou Zun's body was not an amount that could cause death in an instant.
In other words, the empress must at least go through a painful struggle before dying.
But there were so many people following Houzun back and forth to serve him, and there were her manpower outside, so why didn't anyone notice anything unusual about Houzun?
There are more and more doubts.
After something like this happened, Huang Zun refused to stay at the place they had arranged before.
Although Lin Mengya did not have any favorable impression of this ruthless man, judging from the current situation, they did not choose to break up with Huang Zun because of this trivial matter.
So after Huang Zun moved out, Lin Mengya and Bai Su came again to search for evidence in the house.
Compared with the empty house of the Emperor Zun, the house of the Hou Zun seems a bit messy.
Although it was not necessarily the case that anyone took advantage of the situation, because the situation was so sudden, after those people carried the queen out in a hurry, no one came back.
Then Lin Mengya also specially ordered people to keep a close eye on the empress's house and not allow anyone else to enter.
So this place still maintains the most authentic appearance of that day.
As soon as she entered, she noticed traces of poison remaining in the house.
Under the empress's dressing table, she took out a small piece of brown paper.
She looked over it over and over and saw that this kind of paper was usually used by drug stores to package powdered medicines.
And there were obvious poison residues on it.
Besides, she picked up a broken piece of porcelain on the ground.
Judging from the appearance, it should be a tea cup.
Bai Su and her picked up almost all the fragments on the chaotic ground.
But to Lin Mengya's surprise, the poison residue was only on the rim of the cup.
If someone puts poison into the tea, the cup will also be contaminated with poison.
In this case, there is only one possibility.
That is, I don’t know who used some method to make Hou Zun take those poisons, and then drank them with water!
Then she found some blood stains on the bed in the back room.
Lin Mengya looked at the three pieces of evidence collected in her hand, and an almost impossible answer appeared in her guess.
"It seems that the poison was drunk by the empress himself?"
Even Bai Su was shocked by this answer, not to mention her.
Bai Su looked at the things in her hands and said doubtfully, "Is it possible that the queen has had enough life? Otherwise, why would she do this?"
Yes, Lin Mengya was also wondering.
Although the empress is ambitious, she has concerns in her heart.
So even if they rejected the queen's request, she would never seek death for the sake of her children.
unless……
"Master, do you think it was because the emperor wanted to blackmail you and the palace master, so he asked the emperor to sacrifice his life?"
Bai Su's question was exactly what she was thinking.
But she I don't think it's possible.
The relationship between the emperor and the queen is more of a collusion of interests.
Even if the queen dies as an emperor, I am afraid that in the end, all the benefits gained from her death may not be transferred to her son.
And all the evidence is in her hands. If it was Huang Zun who did it, he wouldn't be so careless.
Lin Mengya couldn't think of a suitable answer for a while, so she had to go back with Bai Su first before making other plans.
But on the way, Lin Mengya and Bai Su met a group of people.
These people were arranged by Cairu to clean Hou Zun's residence.
When they saw Bai Su, they all saluted respectfully and said hello.
Originally, Lin Mengya just took a casual look, but after she saw an inconspicuous little man in the crowd, her eyes flashed.
When the person was far away, she lowered her voice and said, "Have someone keep an eye on that little man secretly."
Bai Su did it immediately without asking why.
Lin Mengya returned to her dormitory alone, but she didn't want anyone to visit her.
"Meet Madam."
However, it had only been a few days since the other party's identity had changed, and Li Ao was a little cautious.
It was actually a new friend he had made, and Lin Mengya's attitude was particularly gentle.
In fact, in addition to their exquisite looks, the Li family also have very good tempers.
Probably because they are often treated as women, they respect women more.
In the clan, the status of women is very high.
Therefore, Lin Mengya is willing to get along with him. Putting aside their initial little conflict, the two of them have been getting along with each other in the past few days, more like old friends who have known each other for many years.
Seeing the unaccustomed look on Li Ao's face, Lin Mengya smiled and shook her head.
"Okay, what is a madam and not a madam? Is it possible that besides being the wife of the palace master, I have no other identity? I am still me, and we can just get along with each other as before."
Although Li Ao also hoped so, he said cautiously, "The rules must still be followed. It would be inappropriate if the palace master blames me."
She narrowed her eyes.
"You mean my husband!" Her smile suddenly became bright and sweet with happiness.
"He is the most tolerant and generous person, and my husband does not regard me as his appendage. In any aspect, we are equal."
Li Ao was slightly surprised.
Although most of his people respect women very much, in the eyes of the older generation, women are always women.
Unexpectedly, the mighty master of the temple was actually a doting wife in private.
This couldn't help but make Li Ao become more curious about the Lord of the Temple.
