Chapter 144 Green Ring
Ji Wutian clearly saw the emotion of 'relieved' in the cook's eyes.

After all, it was too naive.

He caught Mandala's secret work at the border. As long as he has the heart, even if his tongue is cut off, there are still plenty of means to dig out information.

"Take it down and keep it under strict supervision. Afterwards, the king will personally interrogate him. He can't speak, he can write by hand, he can't read, and he can nod and shake his head. As long as no one's head falls to the ground, he can always get what the king wants."

Ji Wutian's calm tone revealed a hair-raising chill, when his cold eyes were like sharp knives on the pale and trembling palace servants kneeling on the ground, several of them begged for mercy : "My lord, please forgive me, the little ones are innocent, and the little ones didn't collude with him!"

Ji Wutian ignored their begging for mercy, and only looked at the two palace maids, Ninglu and Luhuan, who had the same bad complexion but did not beg for mercy, "Do you two have anything to say?"

Ninglu and Luhuan both wanted to speak, but he continued to say in a cold tone: "This king will not show mercy to those who dare to poison the emperor, and use the same interrogation methods regardless of men and women. Trust me , Those methods, you court ladies who have never suffered, will not want to try it yourself."

Condensed Lu and Luhuan felt a chill on their backs at the same time, and felt their scalps go numb. They couldn't say a word of denial or sophistry under His Royal Highness Yu Wang's eyes that were as black as ink.

Ji Wutian looked at Ninglu: "Before you had abdominal pain, what food or drink did you eat? Where did you get it from?"

Ning Lu replied with a pale face: "When I went to the small kitchen to pick up pastries, the people in the small kitchen gave me a sample of sweet porridge. The imperial concubine is fond of sweets, and the small kitchen often researches some new sweets. These court ladies help to taste the taste."

Because it was a daily routine, she drank the sweet porridge without the slightest doubt at the time. Now that she thought about it, it was probably because there was something wrong with the sweet porridge that night that caused her unbearable abdominal pain at the critical moment.

The cook in the small kitchen didn't say whether it was true or not in advance to testify against the queen, but the cook couldn't get away with the matter of Ninglu's abdominal pain, but it's hard to say who he was serving.

Ji Wutian turned his head and asked Luhuan again, "You said Xuemei ordered you to go to work, and on the way to do the work, I met Ninglu. If you were not there at that time, Ninglu might not easily give the cakes to others for safekeeping, but after that Not only did you not continue to run the errand, but you turned back, as if the so-called 'errand' in your mouth had been completed."

With Ji Wutian's question, the Queen Mother, Queen and the others immediately realized who was most suspected after recovering from the cook's sudden situation.

The Empress Dowager was the first to get angry again, she casually grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at the panic-stricken Luhuan, angrily said: "Good job, your lowly maid! How dare you murder the emperor! It's really outrageous!"

Luhuan desperately shook her head, "No servant! Really not!" How could she have the guts to murder the emperor, but the emperor's appearance was an accident at the time, and she suddenly said that she wanted to eat plum cake. She never expected that things would develop to the present this situation.

"Come here! Why don't you pull this lowly servant girl out and kill her with a stick!" The Queen Mother shouted angrily.

"and many more!"

"No!"

Ji Wutian and the empress spoke at the same time, although Concubine Wei Gui and Concubine Xian did not say a word because they were still suspected, but they showed disapproval on their faces.

Ji Wutian said: "There is still a lot of evidence that has not yet been clarified. How did she, a mere court lady, get the rare poison of 'seven-day broken soul'? No matter what the original intention was, there must be someone behind the scenes to kill her with a stick. You can no longer find out who is behind it."

If he really beat someone to death, it means that he found no evidence to corroborate it.

The green ring looked terrified: "I really don't want to harm the emperor, I beg the empress dowager, the empress, and His Royal Highness King Yu to see clearly, please be merciful!"

The queen glared at Luhuan angrily: "I don't want to harm the emperor, so you admit that you poisoned the pastry? Don't tell me soon! Where did you get the poison from? Who ordered you to do such a vicious thing! ?”

Jiang Yingxue was only worried that she would be implicated, but looking at the current direction, the person who did it was indeed the maid beside her, but the original goal of the other party seemed to be herself! ?
Jiang Yingxue couldn't believe it, but at the same time, she was afraid, but she didn't dare to show the slightest rejoicing.

The emperor's dragon body is much more valuable than her life. She even said in a disguised form that the emperor saved her from a disaster. Even if she didn't know it, she might not be able to please her, so why should she be thankful?
It's just that she didn't understand that she didn't treat Luhuan herself in any way. In order to cultivate cronies for her own use as soon as possible, she would often reward the maids and eunuchs around her. Someone used tricks to buy her off, but there was no hatred or grudge between them. As for being vicious enough to poison her to death?

She had heard of the poison of 'seven-day broken soul' before, and it was said that people who were poisoned by this poison would end up dying in a miserable way, which made her shudder even more.

When Jiang Yingxue was distracted, Lu Huan just kept shaking her head, but refused to say anything, while the queen mother and Ji Wutian were about to quarrel, or the queen mother unilaterally quarreled with Ji Wutian. It means that he stopped himself because he didn't want to help the emperor find out the real culprit, he deliberately delayed to cover up, and intentionally muddied things.

It was as if the driving force behind the green ring was King Yu, and the purpose was to harm the emperor.

But what happened in front of him couldn't be more obvious. It was clearly a mistake, an accident that no one expected. It is too far-fetched to say that King Yu deliberately murdered him.

Ji Wutian is really too lazy to waste words with the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother finished talking, she looked at the sky outside and waved to the guards, "Press them all down and lock them up, and continue to collect evidence. No matter what, people have to wait After the emperor recovers, he will deal with it himself."

As soon as these words came out, the Empress Dowager was at a loss for words and was very unwilling.

Obviously they have already found out about Luhuan, and as long as they torture him to extract a confession, they will be able to find out who is behind the scenes, so why do you suddenly want to suppress him?Is Ji Wutian the kind of person who backs down so easily?

This is also the doubt of other people present.

But Ji Wutian's next sentence made it impossible for everyone to refute.

"The most important thing right now is the emperor's body. Those who are left and right can't escape. This king is going to the imperial hospital to see how the princess is doing."

Even though he knew it was impossible to make much progress in just half an hour, no one dared to really stop him.

What if the emperor's treatment is really delayed?
As for Concubine Xian, Concubine Wei, and Xuemei, there are still suspicions, but it is not good to be treated like those palace people and put in prison. Let them go back to the palace before the emperor wakes up. The palace gate is closed before the matter is resolved. It is not allowed to come and go at will, lest someone wants to spread the news.

And the queen mother, Ji Wutian still followed what he said in the emperor's bedchamber before, and asked people to invite her back to the Anning Palace so that she can have a baby.

After all the extra people left, Ji Wutian said to the Queen of Heaven: "I will inform you of any progress here, you just need to wait in peace at the Peace Palace, and leave other matters to the King, Queen, and Crown Prince." Let's deal with it."

In other words, don't continue to make trouble.

The empress dowager's face was livid with anger, "You can't do this, the Ai family also cares about the safety of the emperor, and they have to guard it in the emperor's bedroom!" In case the emperor has something bad or bad, she can also make preparations as soon as possible.

Ji Wutian looked at her coldly, and guessed her thoughts instantly through her twinkling eyes, and his expression became even more ruthless.

"Don't forget, queen mother, the reason why you can be your queen mother is because the emperor is benevolent and doesn't want to do more evil. In this harem, it is enough for the queen to preside over the palace. The existence of the queen mother is not indispensable. .Once the emperor makes a mistake, if he doesn't want to do it, this king will personally do it for him, including you, and even more..."

The voice of the last name was very low, and only the queen dowager who was close could hear it. The others only saw the queen take a sharp breath, panic flashed across her face, and then was replaced by anger.

"Ji Wutian! You are presumptuous! The Ai family is the empress dowager! She is the most prestigious person in this palace! How dare you speak to the Ai family like that! Don't forget, the Ai family has such a thing in their hands. Do you think you can decide Aijia's life or death at will!"

Ji Wutian twitched the corners of his lips mockingly: "You can try it, Queen Mother, whether the things in your hands are valuable, or the hundreds of thousands of troops controlled by this king are more important."

The so-called reliance, when he is willing to take it seriously, he will be afraid, once he is made anxious, he is nothing but a waste.

The Empress Dowager clearly understood Ji Wutian's emotions from his eyes, and all kinds of ugly curses on her lips were blocked in an instant, she opened her mouth, her expression was very stiff, and it was the first time she realized that her all along Reliance doesn't seem to be easy to use all the time.

The Empress Dowager suddenly panicked, she didn't care about the emperor's safety, she threw away the approaching palace servants and shouted 'Go away!Alas, go by yourself! ’, turned around and walked away, reluctantly muttering words like 'unfilial' and 'rebellious' in her mouth as she walked away, but only she knew that her expression must be very panicked at this time.

Ji Wutian watched her leave with deep eyes, and turned back to Tai Hospital after a long time.

Inside the first pharmacy on the east side of Tai Hospital.

Qi Susu stood in front of a long table full of various medicinal materials, dealing with a poisonous weed in her hands. Not far from her hand, there were several bottles of detoxification pills taken from her medicine box, which were exactly the ones she had given to Chen Jiyang before. Used to detoxify snakes.

Although the pill to detoxify snakes is not suitable for the emperor's "Seven Days of Broken Soul", another pill that can detoxify various poisonous plants can be used, but the formula needs to be adjusted.

In the final analysis, the 'seven-day soul-breaking' is just a kind of poison mainly based on poisonous plants, except for the soul-breaking grass, the others are not difficult to solve.

As for the soul-severing grass, she really knows a little bit about it.

When she got the medical book that recorded "Seven Days of Broken Soul", the patient learned that she likes to study all kinds of strange diseases and prescriptions, and gave her an accidental severing plant. soul grass.

At that time, she studied it for a period of time on a whim, and thought of several detoxification solutions.

It's a pity that when she was about to put the idea into practice, other patients came to take care of her. She was distracted, and because she didn't need it at the time, the only soul-killing grass withered quickly, and she didn't fully understand the toxicity. It's not easy to make poison casually, and there will be no antidote like "Seven Days of Death". For the creators, making poison but not antidote is simply a failure.

In this way, the matter was left alone, until today.
