Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 745 Heartbroken grass poison, clean up the inner courtyard (6)
Princess Rong nodded, "Very good. My lord, what do you think?"

Prince Rong also nodded, "Come here, search Xiaoju's room."

Immediately a woman answered from outside the door, and then left in a hurry.

Prince Rong looked at the group of maidservants kneeling on the ground, "As for these people, ignoring the master, sowing discord, is equally unforgivable. If you drag it on, hit [-] slaps, and drive you out of the palace, there is no need for these people to tarnish the face of the palace."

"My lord?"

Ling Yun and others exclaimed, Princess Rong just wanted to say something, Prince Rong waved, and several guards walked in, dragging Ling Yun and others down without any explanation.

"No, princess, help—"

In desperation, Lingyun shouted.

Prince Rong looked at Princess Rong with cold eyes.

Princess Rong's complexion changed, Lingyun and the others had already been dragged out, and there was a faint cry for help.

Xiaoju knelt on the ground, the floor was icy, and it was as cold as the tip of her heart.Her lips trembled, her face pale as snow.The light that made her feel bright before, now pierces her eyes like ice knives, almost piercing her pupils.

After a while, a woman came in.Holding a bag in his hand.

"My lord, this old slave found this in Xiaoju's house. There are 500 taels of silver and a pack of medicine inside. It smells a little bit wrong. Take a look."

Prince Rong glanced at the silver wrapped in white cloth, then took the medicine to the tip of his nose and smelled it, frowned, and handed it to Qiu Mingyue.

"Mingyue, smell it, is this heartbroken grass?"

Qiu Mingyue smiled, "Father, my daughter-in-law doesn't care." She looked at the cat lying on the ground, meaning something.

Prince Rong understood, "Come on, come and catch another cat."

Princess Rong lowered her eyes, thinking about what happened today?Someone really poisoned Qiu Mingyue?Concubine Lan or Concubine Jin?Or someone else?
After a while, the cat caught it.Prince Rong ordered someone to fetch a bowl of clean water, and there was water on the table, but Prince Rong still asked someone to go outside to get it, so as not to let someone gossip again.

When the servant girl brought the water, Prince Rong poured the powder in the medicine bag into it, shook it, and ordered someone to give it to the cat to drink.However, after taking two sips, the cat immediately convulsed and fell to the ground, in exactly the same state of death as the previous cat.

Xiaoju's eyes widened in horror, "No, this is impossible, impossible, how could this happen? How could..."

Prince Rong's face turned black, "The evidence is solid, what else do you have to say?"

"Do not."

Xiaoju was still making the final struggle, "My lord, the servant did not poison, no. Someone must have framed the servant, someone framed..." Fear and anger made her shed tears, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the girl nestled in Feng Qingli's arms. In Qiu Mingyue, she was even more angry and angry.

"It's her, it's the Crown Princess, it's her who harmed me—"

"Unrepentant."

Feng Qingli snorted coldly, "Come here, drag it out, and die with a stick."

Qiu Mingyue frowned, just about to say something.But Xiaoju suddenly opened her eyes wide, pinching her throat with both hands, her complexion was pale and in pain.Everyone around her was shocked, and Qiu Mingyue sat up from Feng Qingli's arms in shock, with disbelief in her eyes.

Everyone was shocked by Xiaoju's appearance, and Princess Rong immediately gave the order.

"Quickly, go and ask the doctor."

"Yes."

A maid left in a hurry, but Xiaoju suddenly seemed to go crazy, and rushed towards Princess Rong, looking at her with bloodshot eyes.

"It was you... you killed me..."

Princess Rong's complexion suddenly changed, she was about to scold, but Xiaoju slowly softened, and finally fell to the ground, her eyes, nose and mouth were bleeding slowly.Die with seven orifices.

"what--"

Xiaoju just fell at Feng Qingya's feet, and she stood up in shock, screaming loudly, her eyes full of horror.

Prince Rong's complexion also changed, the old woman who came in just now hurried up to detect her breathing, and then stood up.

"My lord, Xiaoju has been poisoned and died."

Feng Qingli held Qiu Mingyue in his arms, and felt her body tremble a little, pity rose in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid."

Qiu Mingyue managed to calm down, "How...how could she be poisoned?"

"It should have been silenced."

Feng Qingli looked at Prince Rong expressionlessly.

"Father, from this point of view, Xiaoju should have been bribed by someone before she dared to poison the lady." His eyes suddenly darkened, and his voice was a little cold.

"With such a person plotting behind the scenes, I am afraid that my wife will not live in peace in the future. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

Prince Rong also grimaced, and was about to nod, when Concubine Rong's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Check what? Don't you think it's messy enough?"

The bead curtain was opened again, and Concubine Rong walked in with the support of Nanny Zhou, with a gloomy face.

Prince Rong and Princess Rong quickly stood up, "Mother and Concubine, why are you here?"

Concubine Rong glanced at the scene in the room, "If I don't come again, the palace will be turned upside down."

She looked at Qiu Mingyue, "Didn't you say you were poisoned? I don't think it's a serious problem. Is there any need to make trouble in the palace?"

Prince Rong's face was a bit ugly, but he still maintained due respect for Concubine Rong.

"Mother Concubine, just now this maid named Xiaoju poisoned Mingyue's medicine. Fortunately, she was discovered early. Look at those two cats, they died after eating the poison. My son was investigated just now. From her The poison and silver were found in the house. It was obviously bought by someone. I was going to continue to investigate, but this maid suddenly bled to death from all seven orifices. She should have been poisoned long ago. Concubine mother, it's about Mingyue's safety , I have to check."

Concubine Rong glanced at Prince Rong, then at Qiu Mingyue and Feng Qingli, and said something suddenly.

"You have ignored the affairs of the palace all these years, but you have paid more attention to it these two days."

Prince Rong froze for a moment, then stopped talking.

Concubine Rong seemed to sigh, her eyes were a little long.

"I don't know if I should be happy."

Prince Rong lowered his head, and said: "The son has been ignorant all these years, and has tired the mother and concubine. It is the son who is not filial."

Concubine Rong looked at him again, her eyes showed some melancholy and relief.

"Forget it, I hope you will stop being ignorant in the future. If you don't repent, sooner or later this palace will be turned upside down."

She rubbed her temples as if she had a headache, "People are dead, why do you want to investigate? The left and right are just for a title. As I said earlier, if Li'er gives up the position of son, his wife will not be implicated. He himself has limited mobility and cannot protect his daughter-in-law, but it disturbs the whole palace and makes it restless."
