Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 200 Hiding in the Poison Jar

Li Yuanfan's eyes darkened, and he smiled nonchalantly: "It was a false alarm, even if there was some kind of poison, how could it be on the two of you."

While speaking, Li Yuanfan had already approached Mu Baozheng, pretending to straighten her sleeves for her, lowered his voice, and whispered four words: "Take it when you see it."

Mu Baozheng came back to his senses with a jolt, straightened his sleeves, "I've also searched now, it seems that there was really a misunderstanding."

Li Taifu opened his mouth and reprimanded: "You are really messing around, just because of an aunt, crying and shouting like this, even the prince and His Royal Highness were disturbed, such a trivial matter, can't our Li family handle it by ourselves!? Not too soon Your Highness and the prince should make amends!"

These words seemed to be reprimanding Mu Baozheng, but in fact they made it clear that they wanted to calm the matter down and took the matter as a mess.

In the past, Su Yunhao always looked indifferent to everything, and Taifu Li only thought that he would be a bit sloppy today, but unexpectedly, Su Yunhao's expression tensed up very rarely, and his movement of shaking his head was extremely firm.

"Taifu's words are wrong. It's not necessary to pay the two of us. It's just this matter, even if your Lifu doesn't care about it, I will definitely investigate it for my father!"

Grand Tutor Li was taken aback, "Your Highness, what does this matter have to do with the emperor?"

While speaking, Su Yunhao had already quietly exchanged glances with Mu Changge, seeing the other party secretly nodding his head, he continued to say solemnly: "Of course it has something to do with it."

"The Taifu is an important minister in the court. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the Taifu who supports half of the world in Bai'an. The Taifu is the most important person to the father and the people of Bai'an. .”

"Now it is confirmed that the aunt in the Taifu's mansion died of poisoning, but where the poison is and who poisoned it is still unknown."

"If the person who hid the poison came for the Grand Tutor, but accidentally injured his aunt and grandma, let's forget it so easily today. What if he hurt the Grand Tutor?"

"It's nothing if there is no aunt in the house, but if Bai'an doesn't have a Taifu...wouldn't it be a pain for me, Bai'an, and the whole country!?"

Su Yunhao walked up to the table in a serious manner, sat down on an even footing, put on a hat, and buckled Taifu Li firmly, "For the sake of the father and the people in Bai'an, if this matter is not investigated, I will never leave Li. Half a step!"

Under Taifu Li's gray beard, the corners of his mouth couldn't help tightening.

Su Yunhao's hat button is too big, he can't lift it with his hand at all, no matter what reason he uses, it is no bigger than the emperor, or the people of Bai'an!

Saying that, Su Yunhao raised his peachy eyes again, and looked straight at Grand Tutor Li, "What does Grand Tutor think?"

Taifu Li suppressed his thoughts, saluted politely, and said: "Your Highness is so caring for the old minister, the old minister is really 12 grateful."

"No need to be grateful, it's serious to find out the perpetrator earlier. It's just—"

Su Yunhao squinted at Qi Jinzhi and smiled, "I've never been good at worrying about trifles. I heard that the prince has always been good at these things. Why don't you bother him once?"

Su Yunhao only knows that today's matter cannot be easily let go, but the person Mu Changge notified was Qi Jinzhi, and it was Qi Jinzhi who arranged afterward.

He didn't know exactly how the two of them made arrangements, so he simply found a reason and pushed it to Qi Jinzhi.

He has already endured the scene that should be supported by him, and it is his turn to watch the excitement next.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Su Yibin directly ignored Li Yuanfan's hint, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang is acting a little too much, this is Li's Mansion."

"Could it be that...just because of an irrelevant woman, brother Huang wants to mess around in the Taifu's residence?"

A dim light flashed in Mu Changge's eyes, and he turned to Su Yibin neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "Your Highness the Fourth Highness is flattering me too much. A mere Mu Changge has the ability to make His Highness the Crown Prince mess around for me."

"Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince has just made it clear enough. Could it be that, as the crown prince of a country, if he wants to protect his important ministers from harm, is this considered to be acting on his behalf?"

Su Yibin's face turned cold, and he glanced at Mu Changge with a bit of disgust, "You have such a sharp tongue!"

"Fourth Highness." Li Yuanfan said softly, cast a meaningful glance at him, and then said respectfully to Qi Jinzhi, "Thank you, my lord."

Su Yibin understood, and still grimaced, he snorted heavily, and sat aside with a flick of his sleeves.

Mu Baozheng glanced at Qi Jinzhi, then lowered his gaze, "My lord searched for it."

Even though it was just a quick glance, when looking at Qi Jin, the special emotion in Mu Baozheng's eyes that was deliberately hidden fell into Su Yibin's eyes.

Su Yibin's palms tightened imperceptibly, and the corner of Qi Jinzhi's eyes was gloomy and cold.

"Master Taifu, offend me." After saying this sentence, Qi Jinzhi gave Mo Zhu a wink and asked him to search this place carefully.

With so many pairs of eyes staring at her, Mo Zhu didn't feel uncomfortable, and looked for them one by one seriously.

"Has anyone been to the small kitchen?" Qi Jinzhi asked.

Seeing that he was talking to himself, Mu Baozheng's eyelids blushed slightly, "Go back to your lord, that small kitchen is specially used for making medicine for aunts and grandmas, and ordinary people can't get in."

Ever since she came here with Mu Changge, her eyes had never left the small kitchen. Even if someone really did something, she would never have the ability to sneak into the small kitchen openly under her nose.

"What the third sister said is that Changge also saw it clearly today. Except for the third sister who entered the small kitchen alone, no one has ever entered or left."

With that said, Mu Changge glanced at Mu Baozheng again, "Is that so, third sister?"

Mu Baozheng's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that Mu Changge's words were not that simple, but for a while, she couldn't tell where the weird feeling came from.

After calming down, Mu Baozheng nodded slightly, then closed his mouth very cautiously, never saying a word.

In the small kitchen, she is not afraid of anyone searching, anyway, there is nothing in it, even if Mo Zhu digs three feet...

"Report to the prince! There is something strange in this medicine jar!"

what! ?Mu Baozheng's face froze, and he looked up suddenly, and saw Mo Zhu with a serious expression on his face, holding the medicine jar in both hands, and hurried back to the room.

Li Yuanfan's complexion also darkened, and he glanced at Mu Baozheng very quickly.

"My lord, it seems that someone has tampered with this medicine jar." Mo Zhu came in with something in his hands, and said in a deep voice, "The poison is hidden here."

"Talking nonsense!" Mu Baozheng yelled loudly, "Where did the poison come from!"

"I'm afraid Guard Mo is wrong." Li Yuanfan also said, "Inside... how can we be sure that someone has poisoned him?"

Mu Changge stood firmly on the spot, glanced at Mo Zhu, and his eyes lightly fell on the medicine jar.

Mo Zhu nodded slightly, and immediately smashed the medicine jar on the ground——

Mo Zhu's actions were beyond everyone's expectations, amidst the sound of gasping for breath, the medicine jar was broken into several pieces under Mo Zhu's hands, and a puddle of remaining soup medicine also flowed out meanderingly.

The smell of bitter medicine mixed with a hint of sweetness permeated the room. The weird sweetness even had an urge to suppress the smell of the medicine.

"My lord, Your Highness, this medicine jar has indeed been tampered with."

Mo Zhu picked up the piece connected to the handle and held it in front of Qi Jinzhi.

Holding the broken earthen jar with his slender fingers, Qi Jinzhi's brows tightened, and then he raised his eyebrows at Grand Tutor Li, "My lord, it seems that His Royal Highness's worries are not groundless."

In the inside of that broken earthen jar, a hole was dug out by someone, and a pellet of unmelted wax stuck stickily in the wall of the earthen jar.

Sniff it carefully, the greasy sweet fragrance is just emanating from the unmelted wax pill.

And this strange sweet fragrance is exactly the same as the sweet fragrance of the dead aunt!
There is no need to find any doctor to do it, just based on this strange smell, it is not difficult to conclude that this wax pill must be the poison that killed my aunt!

But... why is this wax pill in the medicine jar! ?

Mu Baozheng, whose hands and feet became cold in an instant, felt that the world was spinning before his eyes.

Isn't this wax pill that she ordered her maid to hide on Mu Changge early in the morning! ?

Even if Mu Changge was astute and discovered the abnormality early on, she found the wax pill from her body, but how... how could she do it, under her own watchful eyes, hide the wax pill in the medicine jar ! ?
Even if she really found the right opportunity and threw the wax pills into the medicine jar, where did the small hole hiding the wax pills come from! ?
Cold sweat had unconsciously wet Mu Baozheng's forehead...

Grand Tutor Li didn't expect to encounter such a situation. Li Yuanfan, who was standing beside him, squeezed his palm hard, and said angrily, "Someone really wants to deliberately stir up trouble in the Grand Tutor's residence!"

"If His Royal Highness did not insist on a thorough investigation, we would have been concealed for how long! Come on! Arrest all the servants who have been in and out of this place these days, and wait for interrogation one by one!"

Li Yuanfan clearly wanted to excuse Mu Baozheng, but Mu Changge's eyes showed a sharp coldness, and he smiled coldly.

The knife she stabbed back with her backhand was now on Mu Baozheng's neck, how could it be so easy for her to run away! ?

"Why bother?" Mu Changge said, smiling slightly, but his indifferent eyes made Mu Baozheng's heart tremble violently.

"I clearly remember that the third younger sister told me that since my aunt got sick these days, she was the one who couldn't take off her clothes and accompanied and took care of her all the time."

"And the medicine my aunt took..." Mu Changge's eyes narrowed, "Isn't it all made by the third sister?"
