The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 147: The Passion of Shaohua (5)

All the concubines present had different expressions, and they did not dare to look directly at the queen's bed. On the contrary, Xia Lanyue quietly stared at the pale face of the queen on the bed, and her expression became colder by the minute.

After going through so much, she might be able to vaguely guess that the Queen's death tonight was not that simple at all, and it might have been premeditated.Suddenly, she remembered that Shi Jingrou had told her that day that she was the Queen of the Wei Kingdom and had the responsibility to protect the Wei Kingdom.It turns out that you are going to protect it with your life?
She is still so young and has never been a mother. Is it really worth it to leave this world like this?Does she really not regret it?

At this time, Qiuyu's face was full of tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she sobbed sadly: "Since this afternoon, the empress has been complaining about a headache, and she seems to be in a daze and has no energy. Doctor, but the empress said that it would be fine to lie on the bed for a while, so she strictly ordered no one to disturb her. Later, the empress slept from Shenshi to Xushi, and she didn't even have dinner. His whole body is cold and he has no breath."

"Did anyone come here during the period from Shenshi to Xushi?" The queen mother continued to question.

"The servants have been guarding outside, and no one has come."

After Qiuyu finished speaking, the place was silent, everyone was confused, and secretly wondered why the queen died in her bedroom while she fell asleep?

Su Chen said coldly: "Wu Zuo, tell me about the cause of the Queen's death."

Wu Zuo knelt down silently after finishing the body examination, and did not dare to speak until Su Chen said: "Go back to the emperor, I checked the empress's body and found that she died of poisoning."

"The food in the palace has always been tested by the chefs of the palaces, and the tea is also in charge of the tea servants of the palaces. Now that both of them are still alive, why is the queen alone poisoned? It must be poisoned outside the palace. At this moment, Mu Yanran spoke slowly, a strange brilliance flickered in her eyes.

Wu replied: "The minister has tested the poison, and the empress is poisoned by Datura flowers."

"Mandala? Why have I never heard of this poison?" Jiang Cairen asked curiously.

Wu Zuo was silent for a long time, and replied tremblingly: "The white flower mandala grows in tropical places. The climate in Wei is cold, and the mandala flower can't survive at all, so the masters don't know this kind of flower. This kind of flower plant is poisonous, and the fruit is poisonous. It is poisonous, colorless and odourless, but if you feel fatigued and have a splitting headache after eating it, if you don't take the antidote for twelve hours, you will die suddenly."

Everyone was shocked, and someone immediately asked: "Where will this mandala flower grow?"

At this time, Shi Jingrou's face was serious, and before she could open her mouth to explain everyone's doubts, she said, "The white flower mandala grows in Qi State, if the emperor and the empress dowager think it was done by the concubines based on this alone, wouldn't it be ridiculous? "

Qiuyu burst into tears immediately, and said to Shi Jingju with tears in her eyes, "But the last person I saw before the empress died was the imperial concubine."

"You lowly servant girl, are you framing me as the murderer of the queen? Could it be that the last person to see the queen was the murderer?" Shi Jingrou said extremely coldly.

"The Empress was invited by you to drink tea with you in Jianjia Palace yesterday. She has been like this since she came back. Today, because of her lack of energy, she even avoided the greetings from all the concubines and masters. Therefore, you are the most suspected concubine." Although Qiuyu is The servant girl has been with the queen for many years, and her deep affection can be seen from her unequivocal questioning. She is not afraid of the power of the noble concubine at all.
