Qingsong summoned up his courage and said, "the Secretary for punishment said that this matter may... May have something to do with the one in the temple."

Now only the Empress Dowager lives in the temple.

Xiao Xi asked in amazement, "is it the Empress Dowager who bought rouju to murder Chen Jieyu?"

Qingsong knelt down directly and was so scared that he almost cried: "please be careful! This is just rouju's one-sided word. No conclusive evidence has been found. Please don't talk nonsense. If someone with a heart listens to it, it will be very disadvantageous to you!"

Xiao Xi ignored his advice.

She stood up directly: "put the punishment division carefully. The palace wants to talk to rouju in person."

Whether rouju is beaten into a trick or used by others, she can know the truth as long as she takes a look at it herself.

Qingsong didn't dare to dissuade him, so he had to hurry to prepare the chariot.

The honor guard of the imperial concubine slowly left Yunxiu palace and walked towards the Secretary of Shenxing.

The chariot stopped at the door of the superintendent of justice.

As soon as Xiao Xixi got out of the car, he saw that Liu Si of Shen Xing was leading a group of people out in a hurry.

They saluted the imperial concubine in unison.

Xiao Xixi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and directly asked, "where is rouju? I want to see her in the palace."

As soon as she said this, Liu Sizheng's face turned white.

Not only Liu Sizheng, but also the group of people behind him looked worried.

Xiao Xi noticed something strange and frowned and asked, "why don't you talk? What's wrong with rouju?"

Liu Sizheng said sweating, "please forgive me. Rouju just bit her tongue and killed herself because she couldn't stand the punishment."

Xiao Xixi: "already dead?"

Liu Sizheng: "just died."

Xiao Xi was silent for a long time.

It was a coincidence that rouju broke her breath as soon as she arrived at the Shenxing division.

Behind this, it is obvious that someone is manipulating everything secretly.

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

"Such an important witness died in your hands. You should know the consequences."

Liu Sizheng flopped down on his knees and cried: "please be kind to the imperial concubine and give the slave a chance to make up for his mistakes!"

Xiao Xixi: "how do you want to make up for your mistakes?"

Liu Sizheng: "although rouju is dead, she still has several good palace maids. She also has several relatives in her hometown. Slaves can check them one by one and always find some clues."

Xiao Xi was noncommittal.

She ignored Liu Sizheng's pleading and turned to sit in the car.

The chariot started slowly and headed for Ningxin hall.

The death of rouju made Xiao Xixi more and more sure of her guess. She suspected that someone was using rouju to spread a doubt array and wanted to pour dirty water on the Empress Dowager.

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

Assuming that she is the real murderer behind the scenes, her next target is likely to be Chen Jieyu after dealing with rouju as a scapegoat.

As long as Chen Jieyu is dead, it's really dead without proof.

Xiao Xi said to the eunuch driving the car.

"Hurry up."

The eunuch answered.

The chariot sped up, and the wheels ran over the Palace Road, making a series of sounds.

The palace maids and eunuchs trotted behind the chariot, trying not to let themselves fall behind.

After arriving at Ningxin hall, Xiao Xi couldn't wait to jump out of the car before hearing about the chariot.

Ignoring the shouts of the people behind her, she hurried to Ningxin hall with her skirt.

She had a bad feeling in her heart.

This premonition urged her to run faster and faster.

When Xiao Xi ran to the bedroom door, he suddenly heard a sad cry from the bedroom.

The rustling footsteps gave a sudden pause.

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

"Jieyu is dead! Jieyu is dead!"

Xiao Xi took her arm and asked in a deep voice.

"What are you talking about? What happened to Chen Jieyu?"

Seeing that she was the imperial concubine, the little maid was startled and hurriedly saluted: "I inform the imperial concubine that Chen Jieyu had just become ill. Before the maid had time to ask for a doctor, Chen Jieyu died."

Xiao Xixi looked at her face carefully. Seeing that she looked terrified and nothing different, she let go of her.

Xiao Xi quickly ran into the bedroom and saw two palace maids kneeling in the room.

The two palace maids were crying bitterly.

When they saw the imperial concubine suddenly break in, they were so frightened that they hurriedly saluted the imperial concubine.

Xiao Xi ignored them and went straight to the bed. She saw Chen Jieyu lying quietly on the bed, motionless, her eyes closed, her face gray and without a trace of blood.

Xiao Xi stretched out her finger and pressed Chen Jieyu's carotid artery.

There's no beat.

Chen Jieyu is really dead.

Xiao Xi was stunned and couldn't return to his mind for a long time.

Until someone outside called for the emperor to arrive, she suddenly regained her mind and turned to look at the door.

Luo QingHan strode in.

He was reading memorials in the imperial study. After hearing about rouju, he found that it was not simple. When he was thinking, he learned the news of Chen Jieyu's death.

He immediately rushed over and called Fang Wujiu.

Fang Wujiu went to check Chen Jieyu's body.

Luo QingHan and Xiao Xixi sat down on the nearby low couch.

Xiao Xi whispered, "rouju should not be the one who murdered Chen Jieyu. She is the scapegoat pushed out by others."

Luo QingHan: "I know."

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

Luo QingHan held her hand, and the temperature was continuously transmitted to her through the palm.

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

After Fang Wujiu finished his inspection, he just saw the picture of Luo QingHan and Xi Xi holding hands when he turned around.

He coughed gently to remind each other that there was still someone in the room.

Luo QingHan and Xi Xi looked at him at the same time, but they didn't release their hands.

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

"Chen Jieyu died of a poison called qiri Zui. This poison is colorless and tasteless. There will be no difference after poisoning, but she will die in seven days."

Luo QingHan: "you've been taking Chen Jieyu's pulse every day recently. Don't you see she's poisoned?"

Fang Wujiu: "this poison can't be detected by pulse diagnosis when drunk on the seventh day. It must be detected with special medicine, but the manufacturing method of this medicine is very troublesome. There is no stock in the hospital."

In other words, unless it is known in advance that Chen Jieyu may have been drunk for seven days, the imperial doctor can make medicine to test her, otherwise no one will spend more on this matter.

But the point is that the poison itself is difficult to find.

Therefore, as long as they are drunk for seven days, they are basically unable 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 certainly clean up the remaining poisons as soon as possible. Even if he searched the palace, he might not be able to find anything.

Good morning, everyone~
