"What's going on?" Upon seeing the doctor's expression, Butler Zhao's bad premonition gradually grew. He grabbed the doctor's collar and asked urgently.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he, he,..." The doctor was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly. Something happened to King Xi was not an ordinary big deal. He might be dragged away and silenced if he didn't investigate. He had eighty deaths.
An old mother with a young child waiting to be fed. If he really dies, how will the family live? There are so many doctors in Xiuzhou, why is he so unlucky!
"My lord, what's wrong! Tell me quickly! If you don't tell me clearly, you can't leave!" Butler Zhao threatened in a vicious voice.
The doctor screamed every day but the sky was not working, and the earth and the earth were not responding. His old face was about to cry but there were no tears. In the end, he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he will drive Hexian away."
The doctor's words immediately caused everyone in the room to panic and shed tears with sad expressions.
Butler Zhao swayed and took two steps back in disbelief. He was trembling all over and his face was pale. He held the doctor's collar tightly and never let go: "Your Majesty, how did you get there?"
"Yes, it's poisoning!" The doctor closed his eyes and whispered the result of the examination: "It's arsenic, arsenic poison."
In an instant, Butler Zhao was struck by thunder. Someone actually dared to poison King Xi. This was a serious crime against the Nine Clan!
This matter must be thoroughly investigated, but cannot be made public, so Butler Zhao took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said: "No one is allowed to leak anything about today's matter. If I hear even a little bit of news outside,
, all of you will be buried with the prince, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded hurriedly.
"If anyone asks about this matter, just declare that the prince's old illness has relapsed, his condition has stabilized a little, and he is still recuperating. He will not see any guests! Anyone in the palace who gossips in private will be executed! As for the doctor, I would like to ask you to stay in the house first.
We are in the mansion. Wait until Young Master Yuan comes back and handles all the matters before you leave the mansion! I hope you can discern how to speak after you leave the mansion!" Butler Zhao issued several death orders one after another, shutting down everyone.
mouth.
"Sir, I have an old man above me and a young man below me. I hope you will be merciful and let me leave. I will keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life and won't say anything!" The doctor heard that he stayed in the house.
, the last bit of fantasy was shattered, and he immediately begged Butler Zhao in a cold sweat.
Butler Zhao waved his hand: "As long as you do what I say, it won't kill you. Remember, be careful with your mouth. Anyone in the house who asks you about your condition will always say that the prince has an old illness. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" After receiving Butler Zhao's assurance, the doctor immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hastily. As long as he was kept alive, he could do whatever he asked.
"Come here! Take the doctor down to rest!" Butler Zhao asked someone to take the doctor away.
Rather than letting him go down to rest, it would be better to keep him under supervision. At this time, everyone must be cautious.
Those servants who saw the facts were put under guard by Butler Zhao for a reason. The other servants who didn't know the whole story just thought that King Xi had a recurrence of his old illness.
The guards near King Xi's bedroom were all replaced by Butler Zhao's confidants. This secret must be kept until Zhao Yuan comes back.
Only half an hour after the incident happened, Butler Zhao had settled down. The only thing left was to secretly search for the poisoner. Thinking that someone dared to poison King Xi's food, Butler Zhao secretly swore that he would never do it.
If you don't take mercy lightly, you will definitely let that person kill the nine tribes.
He has been in the palace of Prince Xi for more than thirty years and is the same age as King Xi. When he was young, he received help from King Xi when he was in trouble and joined the Zhao family as a housekeeper. He gained the trust of King Xi and was not in despair. He once swore allegiance to King Xi.
He will repay this kindness throughout his life. But now, his master has been framed and poisoned to death. The murderer is unknown, leaving him full of anger and nowhere to vent.
"Come here, bring all the cooks who prepared the meals today, all the girls who served the dishes, and everyone on duty in the dining hall tonight and bring them into the dining hall!" Since the food is poisoned, then
If you can't get rid of these links, he, Butler Zhao, will interrogate them one by one!
"Yes!" the soldier was ordered to leave. Butler Zhao then came to the dining room.
Because the incident happened suddenly, no one cleaned the dining room at all. The table was turned over, the dishes were smashed on the floor, and the body was in a mess. The body of the food tester who was poisoned before was still placed in the original place in the hall.
The seat had not been moved. The man's eyes were blood-glazed and wide-eyed. Housekeeper Zhao couldn't bear it, so he took a step forward and slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, rustling footsteps were heard outside the door, and several soldiers escorted a group of frightened servants into the dining hall.
Those servants who were still confused at first were stunned when they saw the body of the food tester in the dining hall. Their minds went blank, their ears were buzzing, and their feet were trembling.
Everyone knelt down tremblingly. Even the most ignorant person would probably know what happened when faced with this scene.
"As you can see, a big event happened in the mansion tonight!" Butler Zhao stood in front of everyone, his voice was cold and majestic: "Someone didn't want to die, and dared to poison the prince's meal! Fortunately, he was discovered early, and the prince did not
It’s nothing serious, it just caused an old disease and needs to be recuperated for a period of time.”
Hearing that nothing happened to the prince, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. If something really happened to King Xi, all the related personnel would lose their lives.
The poisoning incident, no matter what the outcome, was a big deal. Even though they knew that King Xi was fine, everyone was still trembling with fear.
"This major matter of poisoning will be investigated by me for the time being. You are all related personnel who have come into contact with the prince's meals. You are all suspects. You are not allowed to go there until you are cleared of suspicion!" Butler Zhao looked at them coldly, trying to
There are clues from their frightened faces.
Everyone crawled and knelt on the ground, their whole bodies trembling slightly, their heads lowered to the ground, cold sweat dripping down their foreheads. When they heard that they had become suspects, they were all worried, and they were afraid that if they could not be found out, King Xi would be blamed.
, would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go and kill them all.
Butler Zhao walked slowly and walked in front of them. He squinted his eyes and stood in front of a maid who was on duty in the dining hall tonight: "Before the prince comes tonight, is there anyone in the dining hall?"
Strange?"
"Go back to Butler Zhao, no, there's nothing strange..." The maid who was named trembled all over.
