Fortune tellers give eggs, the stepmother is a Taoist boss

The expression of Daojun Yuan Fei on the throne was quite indifferent, even a little impatient.

What big thing could happen in the heavily guarded Shun Palace? Could it be that the Qing Kingdom's envoy changed his mind at the last moment and did not want to submit tribute?

He frowned and said majestically: "What happened?"

The guard put his forehead to the ground and broke out a piece of news that shocked everyone present: "Someone in the Qing Kingdom mission has been poisoned and died."

It is not a trivial matter for a foreign minister to come to pay homage and yet be killed by poison in the palace.If the Shun Kingdom could not find the murderer at the first time, it would not be able to explain to the Qing Kingdom that it was a small matter and spreading the news would damage Shun's face.

At the Dragon Banquet tonight, for the sake of the safety of envoys from various countries, all exits of the palace have been blocked since the afternoon, and no one is allowed to enter or exit.

The palace was peaceful this afternoon. It was only in the evening that someone was poisoned and died. The murderer must be in the palace now.

Jiang Fuyuan calmly scanned the expressions of everyone at the banquet. Although everyone's face was solemn and seemed to be reacting normally, everyone present was suspicious.

"Is the person who was poisoned an envoy or a follower?" Chi Dongchuan first grasped the key point.

The guard replied: "They are the entourage of the envoy, but other people in the Qing Kingdom envoy also feel unwell and are all bedridden."

Hearing this, Chi Dongchuan breathed a sigh of relief. If the envoy was not poisoned and died, then there would be room for change.

He stood up and saluted Lord Yuan Fei and said, "Father, this is a matter of human life. Please allow me to leave the banquet and go to check something out."

Having been able to sit on the throne of the emperor for many years, Yuan Fei Daojun is not a confused person. He will not only care about his own enjoyment and ignore the face of the Great Shun Kingdom, so he glanced at Chi Dongchuan and said: "Since Qing Qing The envoys of the country have been poisoned, so let’s find out why they were poisoned.”

He stood up and glanced majestically around the palace: "I will go in person, and all my dear friends, please come with me."

This can not only eliminate everyone's doubts, but also prevent the real murderer from taking advantage of the panic and waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Qingguo envoy's other courtyard.

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, everyone saw Qing Changsheng lying on the stone table in the courtyard, his face was blue and purple, and there was a blood stain on the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, there was no snow today, and the body was not buried in the snow. It only maintained the stiff posture before death. There was an empty bowl on the stone table, and there was still a little bit of frozen residue in the bowl.

The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital had already been called to wait. Imperial Physician Zhang led three of his colleagues into the room to see the rest of the Qing Kingdom envoys who were bedridden. Imperial Physician Wang picked up the bowl and smelled to identify the contents of the bowl. residue.

After a while, Doctor Zhang came out and replied: "Your Majesty, the rest of the Qing Kingdom envoy are not seriously ill. They were just frightened and mistakenly thought they were also poisoned."

The members of the envoys from the other five countries breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed that the poisoning was not directed at the envoys, but was more likely to be a personal grudge against the envoy's entourage.

At this time, Doctor Wang put down the bowl, opened Qing Changsheng's eyelids, and opened his mouth to smell the taste in his mouth. His expression gradually became solemn and he said: "He did die of poisoning, but the poison is not in this bowl of soup."

The pale-faced envoy from the Qing Kingdom happened to come out while holding on to the wall. Hearing what the Imperial Physician Wang said, he immediately retorted: "How is that possible? I saw with my own eyes that Chang Sheng was poisoned after drinking the soup..."

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and showed displeasure. His family had been serving as imperial physicians in the palace for decades since his father's generation. Now he was getting older and he could be regarded as a highly respected senior in the imperial hospital. However, he was unexpectedly hired by a subordinate country. The envoy questioned the medical skills, and he felt offended.

"The envoy must be careful. I have been practicing medicine in Tai Hospital for 35 years and I have never made any mistakes." He said in a bad tone, "If you don't believe it, you can ask others to check it."

Just as the envoy from the Qing Kingdom was about to argue again, the Holy Lady from the Kadan Kingdom stepped forward and cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am a good doctor in Kadan, so you might as well give me a try."

Master Yuan Fei nodded, and she picked up the soup bowl and looked at it carefully. She soon put down the bowl and looked at the wrist of the deceased. When she saw the bright red dots on the palm of the corpse, her expression became confused.

"There is indeed no poison in the soup bowl, but how could it be..."

She murmured something and suddenly stopped talking.The envoy from the Qing Kingdom quickly asked: "How could it happen?"

Saint Cardan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Emperor Shun's face quickly, and replied in a low voice: "...He was hit by Zhirou."

Since ancient times, medicine and poison have not been divided into different families. Kadan is good at medicine as a whole country, and naturally he is also good at poisoning. This Zhirou is the unique poison of Kadan country.

She never thought that she would bring her country down.Damn it, if she had known this, she would not have been in the limelight in front of Emperor Shun.

Imperial Physician Wang had heard of the poison Zhirou, and naturally knew that it was a poison unique to the Kadan Kingdom. He stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Zhirou is a highly toxic poison. As long as it is poisoned, it will cause death." Death is inevitable, and this poison is delayed, and it usually takes half a day to take effect."

After he finished speaking, he stepped back and remained silent. As a hospital, their work was over.

"The attack happened in the middle of the day..." Chi Dongchuan lowered his eyes and thought, "In other words, the time when the murderer poisoned him was actually this afternoon."

Determining the time of poisoning is very important. As long as you draw a time range, everyone who has been in contact with Qing Changsheng during this period will be suspected.

Master Yuan Fei asked: "Who are the people who had contact with the deceased this afternoon?"

The guard with a sword who was responsible for guarding the envoy's courtyard came forward to report: "This afternoon, the entourage of the envoy from Liang Kingdom came."

The Liang envoy's expression changed, and he quickly pushed out the entourage mentioned by the guard and asked him to explain.

It was a serious crime to murder the envoys of other countries. It was possible that Emperor Shun would directly raise troops to conquer Daliang in anger. They must not let such a disaster happen.

Liang Guo's attendants were so frightened that they trembled and quickly took out the well-hidden talisman and raised their hands in the air: "I'm wronged by you! He came to see you first in the afternoon and said that he had the Great Shun Talisman to sell to you. Yes, the little one is here to pay!"

Jiang Fuyuan glanced at the Fu Zhuan, twitched the corners of his mouth, and turned his head speechlessly.

Why is it the peace charm she drew again?Qingguo people not only buy it themselves, but also try to resell it, right? !
Upon seeing this, the envoy of Liang State quickly excused his entourage: "Your Majesty is wise, the matter of the payment of money and goods will naturally not involve a murder case. In my opinion, since this finger-twisting Rou is unique to the Kadan Kingdom, it may be from the Kadan Kingdom. This was done by someone else."

Back then, the Battle of Nuhe between the Liang Kingdom and the Kadan Kingdom was a bloody one. Hundreds of thousands of Liang people died tragically under the poison of the Kadan Kingdom. The two sides had hatred between the country and the family. He would not stab the Kadan Kingdom at this moment. If he causes trouble, he will not be a Liang man.

"You are so slanderous!" The Holy Son of Kadan, who had been silent all this time, became furious and exploded, "It is true that the finger-twirling softness is unique to us Kadan, but everyone can get it. I think this is what your Liang country is not doing. A clever frame-up!"

"Who do you think framed me?"

"You Liang people——"

Seeing that the two parties were about to quarrel, Chi Dongchuan shouted: "Shut up!"

"The Palace of Shun will not tolerate your impudence!"

His voice contained the supreme coercion of a powerful nation, and was instantly so shocked that the Liang Kingdom and the Kadan Kingdom silenced their voices at the same time, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.

"In the afternoon when I was young, I saw a person who had contact with Changsheng..."

A timid voice came from behind the envoy of the Qing Kingdom. When the envoy of the Qing Kingdom stepped out of the way, a man with a green complexion and sloppy steps appeared in front of everyone.

He is also a member of the Qing Kingdom's envoy group, and like Qing Changsheng, he is the envoy's entourage.

Under the encouraging gaze of the Qing State envoy, Qing Xi pointed towards Jiang Fuyuan with trembling fingers.

"It's her."
