Chapter 226 What's wrong with his daughter-in-law holding hands

"Your Majesty, the murderer has been found. She is Xiaolu, the maid in charge of brewing the medicine in Jinhua Palace."

Xu Yang came in with a little palace maid to break the deadlock.

It just happened to give Emperor Beiwu a step down so that he didn't look so embarrassed that he was picking his feet.

Emperor Beiwu suppressed his anger because of this, and suddenly burst out with stern words: "You are so brave, who ordered you to poison Jin Fei's medicine."

When the emperor became angry, everyone knelt down in fear and shouted at the emperor to calm down.

Feng Mingwei looked at the little palace maid and looked at Murong Xiao in confusion: "It's really her?!"

Murong Xiao glanced at Xu Yang, "Let's see who is behind her." It is actually very difficult to find out. People who survive in the harem cannot survive without some means. The person behind it will not be so So stupid that he doesn't even know this bit of common sense.

Now that she has done it, she will not do it herself, let alone wait for the incident to be found on her.

She had expected all this and was prepared for it.

A palace maid like Xiao Lu is most likely to be killed as a scapegoat.

The little deer shivered and knelt on the ground, "This slave is unjust!"

"You said you were wronged last time, and you said the same thing this time. Just saying you were wronged doesn't mean you can prove your innocence."

"It's no use just shouting that you were wronged. There must be evidence to prove that you were wronged. You were the one who took the medicine, so you are the most suspect."

"If you don't want to be wronged, then think carefully about whether anyone else besides you has touched the medicine of Imperial Concubine Jin."

Feng Mingwei looked at her, hoping that she would be smarter, and also wanted to find flaws in it.

Otherwise, if she behaves like this, she will only die.

Xiaolu glanced at Feng Mingwei, a little panicked, "Slave, slave..." She didn't deserve to defend herself because she had no way to defend herself.

Xu Yang said: "My subordinates have carefully questioned me. No one has touched Jin Fei's medicine except her. She usually brings it into the palace for Jin Fei to drink."

"This slave really didn't drug me..." Xiao Lu kept crying. Apart from fear, she had no other words to say except that she was wronged, but she didn't drug her.

An honest and timid little palace maid, she doesn't look like someone capable of drugging her master.

But people should not be judged by their appearance, and all the evidence points to her.

Emperor Beiwu didn't have much patience, "Detain him and hand him over to the Clan Mansion for careful interrogation."

The only outcome for entering the clan's mansion is death.

Two guards came in and dragged the palace maid away.

Feng Mingwei stood up and said, "Wait a minute, Father, I think Xiaolu is unlikely to be the one who administered the drug."

The queen asked: "Have you searched her residence and found any poison?"

"Eunuch Li is leading a search." After Xu Yang finished speaking, Eunuch Li came back, "Your Majesty, a bag of poison was found in the palace maid Xiaolu's house."

Feng Mingwei took it over for inspection, "The poison ingredients are the same as those in the concubine's medicine residue. However, I don't think things are that simple. If it were me, I wouldn't be so stupid as to hide the poison in my house."

Just now it was said that Xiaolu was wrongly accused, but now it is almost certain that she was pushed out and made a scapegoat.

"The real murderer is still hiding in the shadows."

"Even if Xiaolu is sent to the clan mansion for interrogation, there will be no results."

Emperor Beiwu looked at her, "Then how do you want to check?!"

Feng Mingwei glanced at the poison in her hand and said, "Take me to Ao's pharmacy."

Xu Yang took her there, and Murong Xiao followed.

It's in the small kitchen of Jinhua Palace.

The three people came in. Feng Mingwei looked around carefully and found a major discovery for her. "Look, is there a small hole in the wall directly above the medicine stove?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two of them changed. Murong Xiao went up and took a look, "There is indeed a small hole."

Feng Mingwei smiled and said: "So someone from outside drips poison into the medicine every day."

The little palace maid stares at the medicine every day, but when she takes a nap, it is really hard to guard against it.

Afraid of making a mistake, Xu Yang also ran to the wall behind Jinhua Palace to find the hole. He found traces of trampling, which was enough to prove that someone secretly dripped poison into the medicine bowl through the hole in the wall at the same time every day. inside.

"That's what happened. It seems that Xiaolu was indeed wronged." Feng Mingwei and the others came back and told Emperor Beiwu of the results of the investigation.

Emperor Beiwu's face turned livid, "Check it for me!!"

Xu Yang was a little frightened, "It was my subordinate's negligence."

He was the imperial guard beside the emperor. He couldn't handle such a small matter well, and he almost wrongfully accused someone and let the real murderer go free. It can be said that it was very embarrassing for Emperor Beiwu.

Emperor Beiwu was also a little angry that he would make such a stupid mistake.

"Father, you can't blame Guard Xu for this. The murderer is too cunning." At this time, Feng Mingwei stood up and asked Xu Yang to plead for mercy.

Emperor Beiwu snorted, "You are smart and know how to investigate the case."

"My son, with his little skills, dare not show off in front of my father."

Emperor Beiwu twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Xu Yang, "Okay, go check it out quickly."

Xu Yang secretly broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly bowed and retreated.A suspect was quickly identified.

Still from Jinhua Palace.

He was a young eunuch, who was probably bribed.

However, when he was caught, he chose to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

If this continues, it will be another death case.

Emperor Beiwu said angrily: "It is said that Shen Zhuo has entered the palace."

Queen Chen's expression changed slightly, "Your Majesty, this is a matter of the harem. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave it to Dali Temple for investigation."

"Then who does the queen think is appropriate to entrust it to investigate?" Emperor Beiwu said solemnly.

Empress Chen said: "In three days, I will find out the murderer and give an explanation to the emperor and Concubine Jin."

The harem is within her jurisdiction, how can she let Dali Temple cross her path? !

What's more, it was just a trivial matter, but Emperor Beiwu went to such great lengths to fight for Concubine Jin.

This made Empress Chen feel cold. In the past few years, he was the concubine Shu. He only doted on the concubine Shu and allowed her to dominate the harem. He did not take her as the queen seriously.

Have you changed to Jin Fei now?

Queen Chen's eyes were filled with coldness and resentment.

Emperor Beiwu's face softened and he glanced at the queen, "Okay, since the queen said so, I will leave this matter to you. I will have the result in three days."

After saying that, he stood up and left Jinhua Palace.

The virtuous concubines and the virtuous concubines left one after another.

The family was left alone.

Concubine Jin looked unhappy, "I'm exhausted, Xiao Shu will stay with me. You all should go back!"

As always, he didn't care much about Murong Xiao. He didn't even ask about him being imprisoned in the water prison.

Murong Xiao seemed to be used to it and didn't take it to heart.

Murong Shu secretly told him, "Brother, my mother-in-law was actually very anxious that day. It's not that she doesn't care about you. She also begged my father in private."

"Yes, I know." Murong Xiao didn't say much, "You should stay with your mother and concubine!"

After walking out of Jinhua Palace, Feng Mingwei couldn't help but ask, "Do you think she will be the queen?"

Murong Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry about this matter. My mother-in-law will not let herself suffer."

"You are so generous. No wonder your mother-in-law doesn't love you."

Murong Xiao: "..."

She doesn't understand the mother-in-law at all.

"Didn't you say you want to find a craftsman? I will accompany you."

He didn't want to mention it and deliberately changed the topic, but Feng Mingwei ignored it and took out the drawings, "You're right, let's get down to business."

The matter of Concubine Jin's eye disease was delayed again.

But she doesn't seem to want to recover.

Feng Mingwei thought to herself, let's wait until she gets anxious.

"Slow down, don't run around." Murong Xiao grabbed her wrist and held her with his fingers intertwined.

Feng Mingwei was not used to it, "People are coming and going, what are you doing!"

His wife, what's wrong with holding hands?
He won't lead me, but he insists on leading me.

Murong Xiao tightened his grip and said, "Don't make trouble. It's even more inappropriate to pull and pull."

Feng Mingwei thought to herself, forget it, holding hands wouldn't mean losing a piece of meat.

The tugging and bickering will delay her from getting down to business.

"Then hurry up."

Feng Mingwei still wanted to run, pulling him along.

Murong Xiao smiled and said, "Do you know where the craftsman's room is?"

"Don't you know?"

"It's nonsense to ask you to lead the way. Hurry up."

"Ah... what are you doing?"

While running, the man suddenly stopped and pulled her into his arms, and then Feng Mingwei felt herself rising into the air.

"Running is not as fast as Qinggong."
