Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Miss Cao and Concubine Cao, who were about to faint from the pain, were shocked when they heard that it was arsenic. They thought, isn't this the poison that Miss Cao was going to use to poison Princess Anjiang? How did they eat it?
Unfortunately, they were severely poisoned. Their nervous systems were no longer functioning and they were about to fall into a coma. They couldn't speak at all.

And just as the doctor said, when Prince An arrived, Concubine Cao and Miss Cao were already dying. They were in a complete coma and were waiting to die.

Prince An didn't know this. Seeing that his beloved concubine was about to die and that she had been poisoned, he thought someone was trying to harm her. He got furious and immediately ordered that all the people in Concubine Cao's courtyard be pinned down. No one in the entire palace was allowed to move around freely. Anyone who dared to move around freely would be the biggest suspect.

The people in the palace were also confused, wondering what was going on. Was the most favored Concubine Cao going to die?
You must know that ever since Prince An's wife entered the palace, Princess An handed over the housekeeping power of the palace to Prince An's wife and concentrated on chanting Buddha. Since then, Concubine Cao has been able to occupy half of the backyard of Prince An's palace. After all, on the one hand, she is a concubine and the elder of Prince An's wife; on the other hand, she is favored by Prince An, so in the backyard, she is like the hostess, with considerable status and say.

In other words, Concubine Cao was enjoying a very glorious life in the mansion.

Such a glorious person was poisoned to death? Isn't this too tragic?
Who did this?

It should be someone who has a major conflict of interest with Concubine Cao, so it should be the first house and the Anjiang County Prince's family? After all, since the death of Prince An's father, the previous emperor, Concubine Cao and her son began to act arrogantly in the palace. Even the Prince An and the Anjiang County Prince, who are obviously legitimate sons, have to avoid their edge. I guess they hated their family to death a long time ago, so it is possible that they killed Concubine Cao.

Some people also speculated that Concubine Cao was too arrogant, which made a servant resentful and then took action. This is also possible. You know, although servants are of low status and are just ants, if they are really angered, it is possible that they will do something to harm their master.

In short, at that moment, there was a lot of discussion in the mansion and a lot of random speculation.

Because Prince An ordered everyone not to move, the investigation was carried out quickly.

Prince An soon found out that the lotus root powder was brought by Miss Cao, and she personally brewed it for Concubine Cao to drink - Miss Cao was afraid that the servants would not know how to brew it and would not be as good as she did, so she brewed it herself every time.

Logically, Miss Cao would not poison Concubine Cao, after all, Concubine Cao was her aunt.

So Prince An turned his attention to the boiled water, but the doctor said after examination that the boiled water was normal. Moreover, if there was arsenic in that large pot of boiled water, how much arsenic would be needed to cause Concubine Cao to have an attack and fall into a coma immediately after drinking it? You know, if the amount was small, there would not be this reaction, and if the amount was large, who could get so much arsenic?

Since boiled water is not the culprit, there is no other possibility. After all, the doctor has already found out that it is the lotus root powder that is the problem.

It is impossible that there is poison in the bowl. After all, there is arsenic in the bowl. Can't you see it with your eyes?
Then there is only one possibility left, that is, there is something wrong with the lotus root powder that Miss Cao brought.

Although it is impossible for Miss Cao to harm Concubine Cao, it is possible that Miss Cao offended someone in the Cao family and that person deliberately put drugs in the lotus root powder.

——They were right. Someone had indeed put drugs in the lotus root powder. However, they guessed the direction wrong. It was not the Cao family, but Linlang who put the drugs. The drugs were Miss Cao’s own.

Now that they found the direction, they quickly discovered that there was indeed poison in the lotus root powder.

Prince An was angry again and sent people to investigate the Cao family. He was angry because the Cao family relied on Concubine Cao to live a good life. Who was so stupid as to poison her in the lotus root powder? It was totally unreasonable!
The Cao family was puzzled when they saw people from Prince An's mansion coming to search. After hearing that Concubine Cao was poisoned, one by one they became angry and worried.

They were angry because they were wondering who in their family was so blinded by greed that they dared to harm the Cao family's support; they were worried because they were afraid that Concubine Cao was dead - in fact, she was already dead at this time, but Prince An's Mansion only told the outside world that Concubine Cao was poisoned - the Cao family could no longer rely on Concubine Cao to gain benefits.

After much investigation, they found the remaining arsenic in Miss Cao's room.

And it wasn't like someone had put it there on purpose. Instead, after further investigation, it was discovered that the arsenic was actually bought by the girl herself.

This is this...

After finding out this result, everyone in Prince An’s Mansion didn’t know what to say.

Could it be that Miss Cao really wanted to harm Concubine Cao? This is really hard to tell. The angry Cao family members found this result hard to accept. They shouted that the murderer must have bought arsenic and put it with Miss Cao. It was not Miss Cao who harmed anyone. Miss Cao could not have harmed the Empress. After all, the Empress was Miss Cao's aunt, and the two had a very good relationship. No matter how you look at it, this kind of thing is impossible.

But... it was Miss Cao who bought the arsenic. There are witnesses to this. It would be difficult for Cao's family to say that it wasn't Miss Cao's fault.

But since Miss Cao is dead, it may be difficult to find out the truth.

——The person who was bribed by Miss Cao and planned to poison Linlang, had not yet started the action when he heard that Miss Cao and Concubine Cao were poisoned to death by arsenic. He was almost scared to death at this time, so naturally he did not dare to say that the arsenic bought by Miss Cao was originally intended to be given to her to let her poison Princess Anjiang. After all, Miss Cao and Concubine Cao were dead, why did she say this and bring trouble to herself.

Although she didn't say anything, people who searched the palace still found lotus root powder mixed with arsenic in her residence.

Yes, although people were sent to search the Cao family, Prince An was also afraid that other people might have come into contact with the lotus root powder, and what if medicine was mixed in it, so he also searched the prince's palace.

Linlang originally wanted to replace the poison in the servant's place with lotus root powder, but later thought that it would be better to replace it with lotus root powder mixed with arsenic. If Concubine Cao and Miss Cao were poisoned, they would definitely check. If they were all replaced with lotus root powder, wouldn't the person who poisoned the original body in the original world, who was finally discovered and punished, be out of the matter in this world and not be punished? How could that be possible? Naturally, this person had to be dealt with.

So he thought about it and sprinkled some arsenic in the lotus root powder, so it would naturally be found out by now.

Now, arsenic was found in Miss Cao's possession, and arsenic was also found in this servant's possession, mixed with lotus root powder.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a coincidence, and Prince An immediately thought that Concubine Cao and Miss Cao were most likely killed by this servant. (End of this chapter)
