Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 74 Suspicion (1)

For some reason, Xiao Yi suddenly had a weird smile on his face, and then grabbed Xiao Yi's arm as if he had recovered from a trance.

"Yueyue..." The expression on Xiao Yi's face became more and more tense, as if a layer of cement had been poured on her stiff facial muscles, she couldn't move a single bit.

"You mean, little master..." Xiao Yi didn't dare to continue the rest of the words. In the current situation, all the spearheads were pointed at herself. The eyes behind her were definitely not her illusion. Someone deliberately pulled her out of here. At the same time, he threw the poison confetti that had been poured into it somewhere, just to lure her to pick it up and find out.

At just the right time, Xiao Yi came here with everyone, just to pour all the dirty water on her body. The death of the little teacher's wife was too strange.

But, who arranged such a conspiracy?

"Everything was different yesterday. No wonder Qin Mei insisted that there was a hand behind you when she was standing behind you..."

Thinking about everything that happened yesterday, Xiao Yi's body felt as if it had been icy cold.

"Little teacher, was she poisoned to death?"

Xiao Yi nodded, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wrapped up the scraps of paper.

"This medicine seems to be similar to the painkiller powder used by the Rongdi people for major wounds, but it should be mixed with other things. Four years ago, a tribe paid tribute to the palace. , the imperial hospital should have a reserve, and I will take it back to the imperial physicians to study it to see what it is. I just smelled it, but I felt my eyes were dim, and it seemed to be a bit of a hallucination..."

Xiao Yi also thought about what happened to Qin Mei yesterday, and the occasional smile on Qin Mei's face, which was the same as the smile on Xiao Yi's face just now.

"This medicine has the effect of charming people's hearts, so you won't be caught too..." Without hesitation, Xiao Yi asked immediately.

"I had a vague fantasy just now, and it just passed by for a moment. It should be the result of inhaling it in front of my nose. It can be seen that this thing is really harmful, but..."

Xiao Yi suddenly remembered that there were obvious traces of someone entering Mo Yanxiao's room, but he was sleeping extremely heavily and uneasy, his breathing was constricted, and he could sometimes say: "Xiaomei".

At this time, in Prince Wuning's mansion, there was a wonderful scene.

"What? Mo Yanxiao's new wife is dead?"

Hearing the report, King Wu Ning laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

"I just said that with Mo Yanxiao's sickly appearance, how could any woman be willing to marry him? No, he really is a short-lived ghost. He has only been married for a few days, and his life is gone. The prime minister's wife is not so easy to do. Well...ha..."

"What the lord said is that I heard that Qin Mei's death was peaceful, and it seems that someone poisoned her."

The little servant slandered, King Wu Ning suddenly froze.

"You mean, she died of poisoning?"

King Wu Ning suddenly said in shock, the servant nodded in confusion, not knowing why the prince did this, as if something big was about to happen.

"Boom!" The tea table was overturned, King Wu Ning slapped the table heavily and stood up, angrily said: "Go and order someone to call the butler!"

"Wang... lord..."

"What the hell is going on!"

"My lord, the spies who came back said... that the prime minister treated that woman very well, but all good things are treated with courtesy... Originally..."

Before the steward finished speaking, King Wu Ning kicked him down. In a short time, the steward spat blood on the ground, and the servants in the room were as yellow as wax, trembling and trembling, not daring to speak. As far as the housekeeper said, now that the housekeeper has been beaten, he, a servant serving tea and water, has to be careful about this, lest he will annoy the prince.

"Go find someone to clean up this matter. If you find out about me, I will kill you first!" King Wu Ning was furious, and the steward left the hall scrambling and crawling. I also had some calculations in my heart, but I didn't dare to say anything.

"Did the king do anything just now?"

"My lord has never done anything."

"Then what did the king say?"

"The little one has been deaf recently, so he didn't hear..."

"That's great, but this king doesn't believe in living people."

White knives in and red knives out, the hall was in a mess.

"My lord... so... so cruel... must, must..."

It's just that before the words were finished, he died.

King Wu Ning smiled grimly, and said, "Mo Yanxiao, you are lucky this time... Huh!" The fierceness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

When Mo Yanxiao woke up, it was already noon, and he had never seen Qin Mei, so he asked in confusion, "Where's Xiaomei?"

"Ah? Young lady? She...she was too tired yesterday, I told my little lady to take a break, I'm afraid she hasn't woken up yet."

"Xiaomei likes to go to bed early and get up early on weekdays. Even if she doesn't sleep all night, she will definitely wake up early the next morning. Today is really strange..."

Although it felt wrong, Mo Yanxiao had spent too much time with Qin Mei, and he knew Qin Mei's habits very well.

Xiao Yi's complexion became even worse, she hesitated for a long time and never said anything, she just lowered her head and did not speak.

"Did something happen to Xiaomei..." Mo Yanxiao was too calm, as if he had expected something.

In fact, he seemed to have already sensed the danger, but Mo Yanxiao always felt open-minded and didn't pay attention to it. In recent days, his body has been getting worse and worse, and he often has hallucinations, and occasionally thinks of some past events.Mo Yanxiao knew himself quite well, he was not someone who was sentimental about the past, but these days were surprisingly wrong.

Mo Yanxiao almost thought that it was his own problem, maybe his physical condition was too bad, and his life was not long. He tried his best to treat Qin Mei as well as he could, and didn't want to leave any regrets.

In yesterday's dream, it seemed that she dreamed of Qin Mei, but she couldn't remember what she dreamed about.

Seeing Xiao Yi's dazed expression now made her even more suspicious.

"Little master... I'll go to fetch the medicine..."

Xiao Yi said she stood up and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Mo Yanxiao.

"Where's Qin Mei? Where's her? Ahem..."

Mo Yanxiao couldn't calm down anymore, it was obvious that something had happened.

"I... little master... little mistress, she's gone."

"Go? She doesn't have any relatives these years, and she doesn't have a place to go. Where will she go?"

"She...she died..."

"What!" Mo Yanxiao said, suddenly coughing heavily.

"Little Master!" Seeing Mo Yanxiao's mouthful of donated blood, Xiao Yi called out.

In the room, everyone was immediately attracted.

"Why did she die?"

The voice broke the silent air that was almost condensed, and Mo Yanxiao's face once again sank into ashes, without the slightest expression. He stared at a certain place on the table, and he didn't even lift his head when he asked a question.

a few days later.

Xiao Yi has nothing to do, so she came to Mo Mansion Zangshuge, which she hadn't been in for many years.

While searching for ancient books, he accidentally broke a seemingly inconspicuous vase.

The glazed vase shattered all over the place.

Good colored glaze will shatter into powder the moment it is broken. This is a very good forging technique, and it is not available anywhere.

I thought it was a trivial matter, but Mo Yanxiao lost his temper very rarely.

Xiao Yi was very confused, but it was not good to argue with him at this time, so she had to take a step back and apologize, but did not mention it.
