Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 1183 Drunk Drowning
Ever since Emperor Chu established her as the Empress Dowager, Rong Jiu has been in the Zichen Hall every day, and there are many cases in Dali Temple, and Shen Cheng can't help her review memorials every day. Rong Jiu finally understands the difficulty of Emperor Chu.

The lord of the world seems to be incomparably noble, but he has to pay unimaginable hardships
Three or four days have passed, and Mr. Murong has not yet found out the antidote. The mice used for the experiment kept dying. The ten-day period has already passed halfway. In this way, he was controlled by him, and he could only be released back to Lingnan, which was tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

Rong Jiu was anxious, and Eunuch Zhao entered the hall and said, "Princess, Lord Ruan, please see me."

If there is nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall, Ruan Jing asks to see him at this time, could it be that the Xiao family is going to make a move?

Rong Jiu thought about it, and said, "Let him in."

Ruan Jing entered the hall, bowed his hands and saluted: "I have seen the princess,"

Rong Jiu put down the memorial in his hand, with a faint expression on his face, he asked aloud: "Master Ruan asked to see this princess, why?"

"The wedding date of Quan Zi and Miss Yuan is approaching, I have the courage to ask the princess to marry them."

The Xiao family's power is gone, but she was appointed as the empress dowager. Ruan Jing's move was intended to curry favor with her. If she hadn't known that he was a pawn placed by her side by the Xiao family, Rong Jiu would have almost believed it.

After Ruan Jing finished speaking, his heart was worried, Rong Jiu remained calm, and looked at him with a smile: "My princess and the general's mansion have always had a very close relationship, and now you are my princess's person, the officiant marriage is just a matter of lifting a finger, when is the wedding date?" ?”

Unexpectedly, Rong Jiu agreed so simply, Ruan Jing was stunned for a moment, and quickly regained his composure: "The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Okay, the princess will definitely."

Rong Jiu was halfway through speaking when Eunuch Zhao came in again with a flustered expression: "Princess, the imperial guards are here to report that something happened at the posthouse."

Rong Jiu's expression changed slightly. Seeing Ruan Jing's unexpected expression, it was obviously not the Xiao family's fault. It must be that the King of Lingnan was unwilling to sit still and took action.

Rong Jiu asked, "What happened?"

"Someone was killed in the posthouse, and the one who died was a soldier of the Lingnan Prince's Mansion."

"The case will be thoroughly investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Mr. Cao should go to the posthouse immediately."

After Rong Jiu gave his orders, he left the palace and went to the post house, Ruan Jing accompanied him.

When they arrived at the posthouse, Cao Shangshu and Uncle Zhu had already arrived, and there was a circle of people by the lake. When they saw her, they quickly retreated to one side.

Cao Shangshu hurriedly went up to meet him: "Princess,"

Rong Jiu said calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Uncle Zhu is conducting an autopsy."

There was a man lying on the ground. The skin of his hands and feet had softened and swelled, showing a white wrinkled shape, and his belly was bulging, and there was foam coming out of his mouth and nose.

Rong Jiu knew at a glance that this person had drowned.

Uncle Zhu squatted next to the corpse, checked it from head to toe, and said: "The corpse is already stiff. Judging from the spots on the corpse, it has been dead for about six hours."

It is Chen time now, six hours ago, that is, Hai time, at that time, everyone fell asleep, if it fell into the water, it would be really difficult to be found, but if you don’t sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing by the lake?
Rong Jiu looked around, the snow had cleared these few days, the thin ice on the lake had melted, the lake water was clear, nothing unusual.

Rong Jiu walked around the lake and found a wine bottle under a plant. She picked it up and smelled it. The wine smelled clear and had no peculiar smell.

Seeing that she had picked up a wine bottle, Cao Shangshu stroked his chin and thought, "Could it be that after being drunk, he accidentally fell into the lake and drowned?"

"It's absolutely impossible," Guo Yong said decisively, "Zhu Zheng doesn't drink at all, it's cold and dark in the middle of the night, why does he come to the lake to drink?"
