Although Song Zihua was a little strange, he didn't ask any more questions. After careful inspection, he shook his head and said: "Returning to the empress, because the cat is dead, we can't check too much, but from the surface, there is nothing weird."
, he was never poisoned, and the reason why he died was probably due to the rupture of his internal organs due to being kicked hard."
"Nothing weird?" Xianyue looked at Song Zihua unexpectedly and said, "Are you sure you have checked everything carefully?"
Song Zihua thought for a moment, took out a few small things from the cat corpse's hair and said, "I wonder if this is weird? It's on the cat's body."
Xianyue took it from his hand. After looking at it carefully, it looked like a crystal inlaid in jewelry, but it was too small, as small as sand. There would be no jewelry inlaid with such a crystal.
Xianyue spread the handkerchief on the table. After putting the things on the handkerchief, she looked at it carefully and took out a few crystal stones from various places. They were all of the same size. Then she roughly described the situation at that time.
Once again, he said: "Mr. Song, I have been feeding the second elder brother for a long time, and I have never seen this cat show such strong aggression. I suspect there is something wrong, so I specially asked Zhichun to invite you over.
Test.”
A Luo nodded at the side and said: "Yes, Imperial Physician Song, you didn't see what happened just now. If the master hadn't reacted quickly, the second elder brother would have been scratched by it. You see, its claws are still exposed until now."
Outside the claws, it’s really scary tight.”
Song Zihua thought carefully for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's strange, unless a cat feels danger, it shouldn't be so aggressive, and Concubine Xian said that the second elder brother has been feeding it, so logically, it should be close to him.
"After thinking for a long time to no avail, he examined the cat corpse again, but the result was consistent with the previous one and did not
He noticed something strange and was about to speak when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the cat's claws exposed. Under the skylight that shone into the hall, there was a faint flash of green light, which made Song Zihua suspicious. In order to confirm whether there was something strange, he held up the
The cat corpse came outside the temple. Although there was no sunlight at this time, he still saw a glimmer of green light again.
Song Zihua's heart moved, and he ordered someone to fetch a bowl of water, then dipped the cat's paw in it for a moment, and then took out a silver needle to explore. This time, the silver needle turned black when it first entered the water. Song Zihua's eyelids twitched,
With a hint of nervousness, he said: "Madam, the cat's claws are poisonous."
Xianyue also saw the changes in the silver needle and asked, "Do you know what the poison is?"
Song Zihua shook his head and said: "Unless someone is poisoned, I can't tell the difference, but judging from the changes in the silver needle, it should be a deadly poison."
Hearing these words, Xianyue was frightened for a while. If she hadn't hugged Yonglian in time and avoided it, then Yonglian might have died unexpectedly at this moment.
A Luo said tremblingly: "But Doctor Song, didn't you just say that this cat was not poisoned? Why did it happen in the blink of an eye..."
Song Zihua said: "The cat is indeed not poisonous, and the cause of death has nothing to do with poison, but someone has applied highly toxic poison on its paws. Once it is caught, the skin will break and blood will appear, and the poison will spread throughout the body, which is far more severe than if swallowed into the abdomen.
It's faster and more difficult to treat."
Xianyue took over and said: "Mr. Song, if it's you, is there any way to order a wild cat to attack the person you want to attack?"
"This..." Song Zihua shook his head and said: "If it is a cat that has been raised for many years, it may be possible, but a wild cat... I'm afraid it won't work. After all, it is a beast. It is impossible to persuade or bribe it. It will only act according to instinct.
He paused and said: "But the world is so vast that there are many wonders, and even a humble minister can't be absolutely sure."
"I know, you can go down first." When Song Zihua was about to step out of the hall, Xianyue suddenly said: "Emperor Song, until I find out the truth of the matter, I hope you can keep this secret for me, can you?"
Song Zihua turned around, clasped his hands to Xianyue with a calm expression and said, "Don't worry, Madam, Wei Chen is not a talkative person. Wei Chen, please retire!"
Xianyue nodded slightly, and after watching Song Zihua leave, she said in a deep voice: "Qi Kuan, you immediately go to the place where cats usually come and go and see what you can find. You can also ask the nearby palace people. In addition to me and
Besides the second elder brother, I also saw someone feeding this cat."
After Qi Kuan left, Xianyue twisted up a crystal on the handkerchief and looked at it carefully. What on earth was this thing and why was it on the cat?
With a hint of horror in A Luo's eyes, he said: "Master, is someone trying to harm the second elder brother?"
"They should be inseparable." Xianyue said coldly: "I know that Yong Lian is extremely dangerous in the palace, but I didn't expect that someone would take action so soon. I really can't wait!"
Zhichun suddenly said: "If the second elder brother met with an accident when he went out with the master, wouldn't the master be the first person to be suspected?"
A Luo was startled and quickly took over the conversation: "You mean, just like Concubine Hui did, she put unfounded charges on the master?"
Zhichun nodded in fear, "We have to find a way to find that person, otherwise the master may be able to prevent him the first time, but he may not be able to prevent him the second or even the third time."
Xia Yueyang raised the crystal in her hand and said, "This was probably accidentally left on the cat by the poisoner. Come over and see if you can tell what it is attached to."
Aluo and Zhichun looked at it carefully respectively, and the latter hesitated and said: "Master, this crystal is too small, it doesn't look like it is decorated on the hairpin bead flower, and if it is decorated in those places, it will not get stuck on the cat's hair.
Yes, but I think I have seen you somewhere before..."
Upon hearing this, A Luo quickly urged: "Think about it quickly, where have you seen it?"
Zhichun closed her eyes and carefully recalled the familiar feeling that had just passed through her mind. After a long time, she opened her eyes and said with a hint of excitement: "I remember that when Wu Fujin went to the palace for a banquet, I was waiting beside her.
, Wufujin uses these tiny crystal stones to piece them together into various flower shapes on the nails, which are very beautiful.”
A Luo was startled and said: "Wu Fu Jin? Why did she want to harm the master? Could it be because of what happened in the past?"
Xianyue knew what she was referring to, and immediately shook her head and said: "It can't be Wu Fujin. Not to mention whether she knows about the past, she only said that she has not been in the palace in the past month or two. How can she do this?
These things should be done by people in the palace
." At this point, she changed the subject and said: "Zhichun, go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask for some crystals like this. By the way, ask the person in charge who is using this crystal in the palace. Remember, don't
Be too deliberate to avoid suspicion."
Zhichun agreed and left quickly. After she left, Xianyue squatted in front of the cat corpse that had begun to stiffen, looked at the four sharp claws, and murmured: "There are so many people standing there, why is this cat
What method did you use to attack only Yong Lian?"
