Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 717
　Yuan Qingluo's voice was light and fluttering:
　"It's hard to say. Didn't the Queen Mother put poison in the tea of ​​Zhu Qiqi's aunt Zhu Shi more than 20 years ago? The poison was crane crest red, partridge frost, snake venom..."

The queen was shocked, unable to suppress the panic in her eyes, she couldn't help standing up with a "whoosh":
"You... what are you talking about?"

　Yuan Qingluo glanced at her, with a subterranean smile, and said slowly:

　"Why is the queen mother nervous? I haven't said it yet. Did I talk nonsense, won't the queen mother understand after listening to it?"

　The queen slumped into the chair with a pale face.

　Yuan Qingluo continued:

　"Crane top red is bright in color and has a slight fishy smell, while partridge cream has a slightly sweet smell. The snake venom is king cobra venom, a white creamy powder. The three poisons are mixed together to temporarily suppress each other's toxicity. Colorless Tasteless, not easy to be detected, even with silver utensils, it can't be detected at all. The queen mother is also very smart, and the amount she drops is not much. Adding it up, it is only as large as the eye of a needle, so Mrs. Zhu drank a whole It took a month for the toxicity to kick in—a lot of black spots appeared all over the body, and they gradually rotted and died.”

　Yuan Qingluo smiled lightly.

　He didn't look at the queen, but only at the tea in the cup in his hand.He said again:

　"If Mrs. Zhu hadn't died, the queen mother wouldn't have been able to be the crown princess back then, and she wouldn't be the queen now, right? It's a pity that Mrs. Zhu and the fetus in her belly are said to be a prince. If she could be born, she should be a prince." It's my eldest brother."

　The queen was speechless, but just stared at Yuan Qingluo.

　Yuan Qingluo said again:
　"More than ten years ago, Concubine Wu De also died at the hands of the queen mother. The poison that the queen mother gave to Concubine Wu De was different from the poison that was given to Mrs. Zhu. I don't know if it is the king cobra venom that is hard to find, or I am worried that the symptoms are the same. Arousing suspicion, the king cobra venom was replaced by seeing blood to seal the throat. Concubine Wu De also drank it for a month, and the toxicity flared up—there were large and small erythema all over her body, which was similar to the symptoms of red butterfly sore. Therefore, according to the judgment of the imperial doctor, Concubine Wu De He died from complications of rheumatoid arthritis."

　The queen gritted her teeth, and managed to squeeze out a sentence:
　"I...why did I want to kill Concubine Wu De?"

Yuan Qingluo sat lazily in a chair, fiddling with the teacup in his hand, with a cold smile on his lips:
"Why did the mother want to kill Concubine Wu De? Because the elder brother born to the mother died unfortunately. After the mother gave birth to Luoyang, she couldn't have another child. The mother wanted to push the second brother to the crown prince. If there is Wu De , although it can't shake the empress of the mother, or even the position of the empress dowager in the future, but in the heart of the second emperor brother, he is always inferior to the biological mother, and it is not ruled out that after a hundred years of the father emperor, the second emperor brother also named his biological mother the empress dowager, on an equal footing with the mother empress .”

　Cold sweat broke out on the queen's forehead, the muscles on both sides of her face were tensed, and her lips were trembling:

　"You... you're talking nonsense! What proof do you have?"

　Yuan Qingluo narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly:

　"Evidence? I know that those killers sent by the Queen Mother, before they died, they bit the collar of their clothes and wiped the poisonous crane crest red. It is not evidence. Five years ago, I hunted down the gangsters for the theft of the palace. When Zheng Yinan arrived in Luocheng, you sent a killer to assassinate me secretly, and the blood-smeared throat seal on the arrow is not evidence. But three years ago, the imperial concubine Hu Meiqing was almost poisoned at a banquet, so is it evidence?"
