The Way of Favors

???? Shocked that Cheng Wang was poisoned and killed, Emperor Jiahe vomited blood on the spot and fainted.

The first thing after waking up was Xuan Jinyiwei Commander Xiang Yun and ordered him to thoroughly investigate the case of Wang Cheng.

Xiang Yun led his subordinates to Cheng Wangfu overnight.

The matter was of great importance. Except for the three corpses of King Cheng, who were moved to the ice storage room, the utensils in Li Huarong's room and the concubine's new house, the tea and meals on the table, etc., were all intact. The court awaits trial.

Hao Zuo first reported the autopsy results: "My lord, all of the three of His Royal Highness Cheng are arsenic. On Cheng Wang's side, poison was detected on both wine glasses, and there is no problem in the wine jug. Princess Wang Over there, the wine was poisonous, and a pack of arsenic was found."

Xiang Yun looked solemn, and immediately sent people to interrogate everyone who was serving in Li Huarong's courtyard. From the maidservant beside her to the gatekeeper, she also sent people to interrogate other servants in the palace to see if anyone had bought arsenic recently. , And directly let people bring the torture instrument up, and each side picked someone to kill the chicken and the monkey.

His own son died, and Emperor Jiahe hated him so much that he vomited blood and couldn't get up. If he couldn't produce a result tonight, he might not die tomorrow.

Soon someone made a confession, but it was Zhang Langzhong, who became the royal mansion, and said that a warehouse maid in the princess's courtyard asked him for a small package of arsenic, saying that it was kept in the warehouse for deworming.

Xiang Yun Mingren mentioned Zhang Langzhong and the warehouse maid separately to a room.

"She wants arsenic from you. Have you ever reported to the prince?"

Zhang Langzhong knelt on the ground, thinking of the three people who just couldn't survive the torture, and trembled and told the truth: "Arsenic Shuang is very poisonous. I said I must ask the prince first. She, she cried. I knelt down and said that the person she loved since childhood was going to marry someone else. She wanted to poison that person, but I refused to agree. She, she took off her clothes..."

Xiang Yun looked at the maid in muslin clothes: "Raise your head."

The little maid looked up, her eyebrows were indeed delicate, and she cried pitifully.

Xiang Yun pointed to the torture instrument next to him: "You tell me the truth now, I can save you from the pain of flesh and blood."

The little maid trembling with fright, she lowered her head and started crying: "No, I am an orphan. Before the princess got married, I served with the princess. There was no one to like. The princess went to the storeroom to see things and sent everyone away. After I went out, I ordered me to go to Zhang Langzhong to ask for arsenic. He also asked me to secretly ask for it by any means, otherwise he would sell me to the kiln. There is really no way I can lie to Zhang Langzhong..."

"Pull out for medical examination." Xiang Yun said without emotion.

After two cups of tea, the subordinate returned and said: "My lord, that maid is indeed not a virgin."

Xiang Yun nodded his head and sent them to be sentenced. When the last breath was left, the two of them still did not reverse the confession, so they were dragged down, and the Emperor Jiahe wanted to take it with him when he wanted to personally interrogate him.

I have found out how the arsenic came, and then it is time to find out why Princess Cheng poisoned her and how she poisoned it.

As the commander of Jin Yiwei, Xiang Yun knows everything about the temperament of the noble people in the capital. Li Huarong’s family is most famous for being jealous. Li Huarong dressed like that when the body was discovered. As long as he is sure that the poison is indeed Li Huarong’s, That proves that Li Huarong is hateful because of love, and he would rather kill Cheng Wang than serve with others.

An hour later, Xiang Yun hurriedly entered the palace.

Emperor Jiahe lay on the dragon bed with his eyes closed, taking care of him carefully, and the brothers of King Kang, Xu Jin and Xu Wei stood aside doing their filial piety.

"The emperor, Commander Xiang is back." Wanquan called softly.

Emperor Jiahe opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes flushed: "Call in."

Xiang Yun quickly knelt in front of the dragon couch and watched Emperor Jiahe replied: "The emperor, the minister has checked it out. His Royal Highness and the concubine's concubine both died of taking arsenic, but the princess committed suicide. His Royal Highness and the side concubine were murdered by the princess's poison."

After saying that Li Huarong’s death, she sent a maid to ask for arsenic. After she arranged for her confidant to go to the kitchen to inquire about the news, she explained in detail the plan of putting arsenic on the wine glass without being prepared. "The emperor, the minister has interrogated again and again to ensure that what the few people said is true, so it is concluded that if you become a princess, you will not be a king to marry a new person..."

"Poisonous woman, poisonous woman!"

Emperor Jiahe sat up abruptly, filled with grief and anger, "That poisonous woman, I should have killed her long ago! The old fifth valued her so much for her, and she actually poisoned her..." A mouthful of blood came out.

"emperor!"

"Father!"

For a time, Chongzheng Hall was in chaos.

The imperial doctor rescued Emperor Jiahe from the ghost gate until midnight, but the old man's energy and blood attacked his heart. After taking the medicine, he fell asleep and didn't have the energy to pursue it.

The three Xu Jin brothers continued to kneel in front of the couch and guard.

The night is quiet.

King Kang quietly looked at Xu Jin beside him, couldn't help but doubt, and there was no evidence, after all, Jin Yiwei had checked it clearly.

Xu Jin looked at the old man on the couch, and flashes of light flashed in the seemingly peaceful Fenghuang eyes, which was fleeting.

On his right side, Xu Wei lowered his head, closed his eyes, and his face was full of tears. She died, she died, and everyone who harmed her died, but he didn’t get half a grudge. He only hated why he wanted to inspect the Yellow River. If he didn’t want to prove himself, Wan Wan would Nothing will happen, there will be nothing afterwards...

But now it's no use regretting, he is separated from her by yin and yang.

At dawn, Emperor Jiahe suddenly coughed and woke up.

The imperial doctor was waiting outside the hall, and hurried in when he heard the movement.

First, I wanted to hurt his body with Guan Yingzong, and then experienced the double betrayal of his son’s favorite concubine. Emperor Jiahe lost his body early, and he managed to regain three points in the past two years. It just made him look good, and the inside is still Fictitious, now that I suddenly learned of the death of his son, is the suffering of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man tolerable? In addition, his son was poisoned to death by a woman who should have died long ago. Emperor Jiahe hated and regretted it. He vomited blood twice and his body became more and more dysfunctional.

The imperial physicians have nothing to do. They can only continue to raise them with precious medicinal materials. If they are optimistic, it can be delayed until the end of the year. If they suffer a blow, it may not be sustainable for a month or two.

He knew his body best. Emperor Jiahe didn't threaten the doctors to do their best to help him prolong his life. He took the medicine and lay down for a while with his eyes closed. He suddenly said, "The second and the sixth are all down."

King Kang's heart jumped, he instinctively looked at Xu Jin, his head turned halfway, and he was restrained by him for a lifetime, and left behind.

When Xu Hao turned around, he looked at the fourth brother and saw that he was looking at his father without squinting. Knowing that his expression would hurt the fourth brother at this time, he resisted worry and went outside the temple.

Emperor Jiahe let Wanquan go out too.

Wanquan bowed his head and left.

Only father and son remained in the sleeping hall.

Emperor Jiahe turned his head, his cloudy eyes fixed on his son who was kneeling on the couch: "Jingxing, you tell me the truth, did you do it?"

The son admitted that he would not change his mind again, and Dawei would only be relieved by giving it to him.

When the son denied it, he believed him, believing that the fifth child was really poisoned by that cheap woman.

He just wanted peace of mind.
