The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Qingsong mustered up his courage to speak: "The Division of Shen Punishment said that this matter may... may have something to do with the person in the Taimiao Temple."

Now the only one who lives in the Taimiao is the Queen Mother.

Xiao Xixi asked stunned: "Is the person who bought Rou Ju to murder Chen Jieyu the Empress Dowager?"

Qingsong immediately knelt down and was so scared that she almost cried: "Concubine, please be careful! This is only a one-sided statement of Rou Ju, and no conclusive evidence has been found yet. Concubine must not speak falsely, in case anyone with a heart will listen to it. , it will be very detrimental to you!"

Xiao Xixi ignored his advice.

She stood up directly: "Place the prudent punishment department, Ben Gong wants to talk to Rou Ju in person."

No matter whether Rou Ju was beaten into a trick or taken advantage of, she could know the truth as long as she saw it in person.

Qingsong did not dare to dissuade him, so he could only rush to prepare the carriage.

The honor guard of the imperial concubine slowly left the Yunxiu Palace and headed towards the Department of Shen Punishment.

The chariot stopped at the door of the Ministry of Justice.

As soon as Xiao Xixi got out of the car, he saw Liu Sizheng of the Department of Prison and Punishment leading a group of people to run out in a hurry.

They all greeted the imperial concubine in unison.

Xiao Xixi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and asked directly, "Where is Rouju? Ben Gong wants to see her."

As soon as she said these words, Liu Sizheng's face turned pale.

Not only Liu Sizheng, but the expressions of the group of people behind him also changed, looking anxious.

Xiao Xixi noticed the difference, frowned and asked, "Why don't you speak? Something will happen to Rou Ju, right?"

Liu Sizheng said sweating profusely, "Please forgive your concubine, because Rouju just bit her tongue and committed suicide because she couldn't bear the punishment."

Xiao Xixi: "Already dead?"

Liu Sizheng: "Just died."

Xiao Xixi was silent for a long time.

As soon as she arrived at the Shen Xing Division, Rou Ju died, which was too coincidental.

There is clearly someone behind this secretly manipulating everything.

Xiao Xixi looked at Liu Sizheng, who was restless in front of him, and said coldly.

"Such an important witness died in your hands, and you should know the consequences."

Liu Sizheng knelt down with a plop, and cried with snot and tears: "I beg your concubine to be kind, and give the servant a chance to make up for his faults!"

Xiao Xixi: "How do you still want to make up for your faults?"

Liu Sizheng: "Although Rouju is dead, she still has a few good maids and relatives in her hometown. The servants can check them one by one, and they can always find some clues."

Xiao Xixi was noncommittal about this.

Ignoring Liu Sizheng's pleading, she turned around and got into the car.

The chariot started slowly and headed towards the Ningxin Palace.

Rou Ju's death made Xiao Xixi more and more sure of the guess in her heart. She suspected that someone was using Rou Ju to create suspicion and wanted to pour dirty water on the Empress Dowager.

Xiao Xixi put herself in the position of the real murderer behind the scenes.

Assuming she is the real murderer behind the scenes, after she has dealt with the scapegoat of Rou Ju, her next target is likely to be Chen Jieyu.

As long as Chen Jieyu is also dead, then there is no evidence of death.

Xiao Xixi said to the eunuch who was driving the car.

"Hurry up."

The eunuch responded.

The chariot speeded up, and the chariot ran over the palace road, making a series of noises.

The palace maids and eunuchs trotted behind the carriage, trying not to let themselves be left behind.

After arriving at Ningxin Palace, Xiao Xixi couldn't wait to jump out of the car before the chariot heard about it.

Ignoring the shouts of everyone behind her, she quickly ran into the Ningxin Hall with her skirt in hand.

She had a very bad feeling in her heart.

This premonition urged her to run faster and faster.

When Xiao Xixi ran to the door of the bedroom, she suddenly heard a shrill cry from the bedroom.

Xiao Xixi's footsteps stopped suddenly.

She saw a little palace maid running out of the house crying, crying as she ran.

"Jieyu is dead! Jieyu is dead!"

Xiao Xixi grabbed her arm and asked in a deep voice.

"What did you say? What happened to Chen Jieyu?"

The little palace maid was taken aback when she saw that it was the imperial concubine, and hurriedly greeted her: "Reporting to the noble concubine, Chen Jieyu just suddenly fell ill, and before the servant could go to the imperial doctor, Chen Jieyu died."

Xiao Xixi looked at her face carefully, saw that she looked terrified, and there was nothing unusual, so she let go of her.

Xiao Xixi quickly ran into the bedroom and saw two court ladies kneeling in the room.

The two maids were weeping bitterly.

When they saw the imperial concubine suddenly barging in, they were so frightened that they hurriedly greeted the imperial concubine.

Xiao Xixi ignored them and walked straight to the bed, where she saw Chen Jieyu lying quietly on the bed, motionless, her eyes were closed, her face was gray, and there was no trace of blood.

Xiao Xixi stretched out her fingers and pressed Chen Jieyu's carotid artery.

There is no more beating.

Chen Jieyu is really dead.

Xiao Xixi froze in place, unable to recover for a long time.

It wasn't until someone called out that the emperor was coming, she suddenly came back to her senses and turned to look at the door.

Luo Qinghan strode in.

He originally reviewed the memorials in the imperial study. After hearing about Rouju, he realized that the matter was not simple. When he was thinking about it, he learned of the news of Chen Jieyu's death.

He rushed over immediately, and also called Fang Wujiu over by the way.

Fang Wujiu stepped forward to examine Chen Jieyu's body.

Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi sat down on the low couch beside them.

Xiao Xixi whispered: "Rou Ju should not be the one who murdered Chen Jieyu, she was the scapegoat who was pushed out."

Luo Qinghan: "I know."

Xiao Xixi: "I have a very bad feeling that Chen Jieyu's death is likely to trigger a series of bad things."

Luo Qinghan held her hand, and the temperature was continuously conveyed to her through her palm.

"Don't worry, with me here, no matter how bad things are, they can be resolved in the end."

Fang Wujiu finished checking, and when he turned around, he just saw the picture of Luo Qinghan and Xixi clasping their hands.

He coughed lightly, reminding the other party that there were still people in the room.

Luo Qinghan and Xixi looked at him at the same time, but they didn't mean to let go.

Fang Wujiu could only pretend that he was blind, and stated expressionlessly.

"Chen Jieyu died of a poison called Qirizui. This poison is colorless and odorless. After being poisoned, there will be no abnormality for the time being, but it will die after seven days."

Luo Qinghan: "You checked Chen Jieyu's pulse every day recently, didn't you see that she was poisoned?"

Fang Wujiu: "Seven days of drunkenness cannot be detected by pulse diagnosis. It must be tested with special medicines, but the preparation method of this medicine is very troublesome, and there is no stock in the hospital."

In other words, unless it was known in advance that Chen Jieyu might have been intoxicated for seven days, the imperial doctor could make medicines to test her, otherwise no one would spend more on it.

But the point is that the poison itself is very difficult to detect.

Therefore, as long as someone is drunk for seven days, it is basically impossible to escape death.

Luo Qinghan wanted people to search the palace, but on second thought, the person who poisoned was not stupid. After he succeeded, he would definitely dispose of the remaining poison as soon as possible. Even if he searched the palace, he might not be able to find anything.
