Chapter 744: Flustered

Up and down the Ci Ning Palace, from the close-serving nanny to the Sasao Palace people, all were arrested and taken to the Shen Xing Division for torture.
The people who were crying were surprised and inexplicably surprised.
"What happened?"
Everyone is asking.
Many people are inexplicably flustered and disturbed!
"Why do you want to arrest people from Cining Palace?"
"Is it related to the death of the Queen Mother?"
All kinds of speculation, all kinds of arguments, above the clamor.
Emperor Wen De never appeared.
Only Chang En came forward to announce the holy will: the funeral will proceed as usual, and no rumors and troubles shall be allowed.
Everyone can't, they can only continue to cry.
However, the mind is not on this, everyone is absent-minded, and the crying voice is much quieter.
Under normal circumstances, everyone would definitely not dare to do this.
In these extraordinary times, no one asks if the people's crying attitude is sufficiently religious.
Gu Jiu was able to breathe.
Her sixth sense never goes empty.
The unknown hunch was finally confirmed, and the death of the Queen Mother was strange.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly.
She diagnosed the pulse of the Empress Dowager Xiao several times. It was a common heart disease, and she found no other problems.
How did the palace find the Queen Mother Xiao's death strange?
Gu Jiu looked at the direction of the mourning hall, and the problem must have appeared on the body.
Someone discovered the problem from the body of the Queen Mother Xiao.
Gu Jiu got up and walked towards the mourning hall.
...
The concubines in the harem were all flustered.
The princes were also restless.
Taking advantage of the rest time, the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers and inquire the truth.
Madam Xiao found Xiao Zhaoyi and asked, "What's the matter? I heard people say that everyone at the top and bottom of Ci Ning Palace was arrested? Even the old man next to the Queen Mother was not spared."
Xiao Zhaoyi's face was serious, "Mother, don't panic, I will find out clearly about this. It is probably related to the death of the empress dowager."
Mrs. Xiao's face paled, "Didn't the empress dowager pass away? Is there something strange?"
"It's too early to say anything. The mother must tell her father that nothing is worse than nothing, and you should watch the changes before you make any plans."
Mrs. Xiao paled and nodded repeatedly, "I will go to your father and tell him not to act rashly. You should also inquire about the news as soon as possible. If the death of the empress mother is really strange, you must send the news as soon as possible. Go to Xiao's house."
Xiao Zhaoyi responded, "I will."
Watching Madam Xiao leave, Xiao Zhaoyi was ready to return to the harem.
Things in the harem should be resolved in the harem.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Qin'er stopped Xiao Zhaoyi's way.
Xiao Zhaoyi said with a sullen face, "Is there anything wrong with my sister? I have no time to argue with you now, so let me go if I have nothing to do."
"Are you going to find out about the empress dowager?"
"If you know you still ask."
"Can you find out?"
Xiao Zhaoyi looked at Xiao Qin'er with a weird expression, "Sister is asking for peace?"
Xiao Qin'er's expression instantly distorted, "I hope you can really find out the truth."
Xiao Zhaoyi sneered, "My sister has finally grown, which is gratifying. Now you finally wake up, without the queen mother, the only thing you can rely on in the palace is me. So, be polite to me in the future."
Xiao Qin'er stepped aside in silence and watched Xiao Zhaoyi leave.
...
The prince and concubine went to Xingqing Palace to see Emperor Wende.
Emperor Wen De is missing.
Queen Pei frowned and asked Chang En, "Your Majesty didn't even see the palace?"
"Niang Niang forgive me, your majesty said that no one will see."
Queen Pei was annoyed, "You tell this palace, what's your majesty's situation now? My palace heard that your majesty drank alcohol last night, is your majesty's health okay."
Chang En bowed and said: "Don't worry, your majesty is in good health. Please come back, and when your majesty is willing to see you, the old slave will send someone to inform the mother."
Queen Pei was very helpless and could only leave.
By the way, the two brothers Liu Zhao and Liu Yi were also called.
Liu Zhao was not willing to go to Weiyang Palace at this time, it was purely a waste of time.
Queen Pei was very dissatisfied, "Did you not even listen to what the palace said?"
Liu Zhao glanced at the people around him, nothing else, in front of everyone, he still wanted to give his mother a face.
The mother and son returned to Weiyang Palace.
Empress Pei was anxious, "The Queen Mother's death must be strange, otherwise your Majesty will not suddenly order everyone in Cining Palace to be arrested."
"Why didn't the imperial doctor find out before?" Liu Yi was puzzled.
Empress Pei looked at Liu Zhao, "Boss, do you have any news?"
Liu Zhao said indifferently: "Wait for the Shen Xing Department to interrogate everyone, everything is clear."
"I'm afraid that people will be gone before you ask." Empress Pei was very suspicious of Shen Xing Division's ability.
How can people who dare to kill the empress dowager not prepare for a future?
...
Gu Jiu came to the mourning hall.
She said to the palace guardian: "I want to give the empress dowager a stick of incense!"
"Madame, please!"
The three sticks of incense were lit, bowed and inserted into the incense burner.
Then she said: "I want to see the Queen Mother for the last time."
The palace face hesitated.
Gu Jiu asked, "Can't it? As the granddaughter-in-law of the royal family, isn't this lady qualified to see the Queen Mother for the last time?"
"Madam misunderstood. Madam, please, don't get too close."
"My lady knows."
Gu Jiu stood in front of the coffin, looked at the body of the Queen Mother Xiao, and asked: "Who has come to visit the Queen Mother in the past two days?"
The palace man did not suspect him, and said honestly: "Your Majesty, a few empresses, princes, and a few adults of the Qintian Supervisor. By the way, this morning, the palace gate just opened, and Master Lu also came. Like the wife, she offered to see the Queen Mother for the last time."
"Which Master Lu?"
"Master Lu, Shizhonglu!"
Emperor Wende's confidant Lu Shizhong!
It's him, it really is him.
Gu Jiu immediately asked: "You said that an official from the Qin Tianjian had been here. Do you remember which official it was?"
"Qin Tian Supervisor is an adult, and take a few subordinates down for a trip."
Ren Qiu was introduced by Shizhong Lu, and it was said that Ren Qiu lived in Lu Mansion.
If Ren Qiu found a problem, he would definitely tell Lu Shizhong.
Lu Shizhong entered the palace early in the morning when the palace gate was opened. Obviously, it was not a whim, but a deliberate rush to confirm the truth before everyone entered the palace.
He offered to see the Queen Mother for the last time, there must be obvious evidence left on the body of the Queen Mother, and he needs to ask for proof.
"Is Lu Shizhong standing in this position?"
"Return Madam, yes."
Two steps away from the coffin, what can Lu Shizhong find from this position?
Gu Jiu's eyes widened, afraid to miss a detail.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted.
Why are Queen Mother Xiao’s fingernails pink?
Obviously, it was normal when he entered the mortuary.
Gu Jiu was in Cining Palace when the Queen Mother Xiao entered the funeral.
She remembered clearly that everything was normal back then.
Empress Dowager Xiao died of a normal illness!
Because the Queen Mother Xiao was seriously ill, just in case, during this period, Gu Jiu lived with the children in the palace.
Upon learning that the Queen Mother Xiao had passed away, she rushed to the palace as soon as possible.
She still remembered many details clearly.
Gu Jiu took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise and doubt in his heart, and left the coffin.
She pretended to be uncomfortable, and walked out of the mourning hall, covering her heart.
"Madam, does it matter?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It doesn't matter. I didn't eat it in the morning and my body was a little weak. By the way, did Lu Shizhong say anything when he visited the empress dowager?"
"No! Shizhong Lu visited the empress mother for the last time, and then left."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Gu Jiu walked out of the mourning hall.
Maid Aqing was worried, "Madam is okay."
"It's okay! Ask Zhao Min to send it over to see me."
"The slave servant first helped his wife back to the wing to rest."
Zhao Minfa hurried to the wing.
Gu Jiu wanted Zhao Min to send a message to Liu Zhao, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind.
"Get Qianfu, I have something to tell him."
"The little one is going."
"Hurry up! My lady has something urgent to find him."
"Little knows."
Zhao Minfa hurried away.
Gu Jiu took a deep breath, her chest a little tight and uncomfortable.
She rubbed her heart and took a sip from her teacup.
"Is the madam worried?" Maid Aqing asked cautiously.
Gu Jiu smiled bitterly, "I'm a little worried. I hope it's okay!"
Being able to hide it from everyone, the gods had poisoned the Queen Mother Xiao without even knowing it, even the emperor didn't check it out.
I have to admit that the poisoner is very powerful, and the poison is even worse.
What kind of poison can't be detected while people are alive?
Gu Jiu had never heard of it anyway.
She has to admit that in this era, there are more people than she imagined.
Qian Fu got the news, did not dare to delay, and hurried to see Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu was afraid of leaking the news and ordered all his servants to withdraw.
Only her and Qian Fu are left in the wing.
"The Queen Mother is poisoned!"
When Gu Jiu spoke, he was shocked!
Qian Fu's face was solemn, "Madam, are you sure?"
Gu Jiu said: "I was at the scene when the Queen Mother was engulfed, and everything was normal at the time. But now, on the third day after her death, her nails are pink. This is a typical manifestation of poisoning.
In addition, Lu Shizhong rushed into the palace in front of everyone when the palace gate was just opened early in the morning, specifically offering to visit the Queen Mother for the last time.
Obviously, Lu Shizhong discovered something and told his majesty what he had discovered. That's why all the members of Ci Ning Palace were arrested by the Department of Sentence for questioning.
As for where Lu Shizhong got the news, I think he heard it from Qintian Supervisor Ren Jianzheng. Ren Jianzheng has learned a lot, and he understands poison medicine. I am not surprised at all. "
Qian Fu's expression was serious, "The old slave will tell the great majesty in time. With the queen mother, the old slave will take a look in person."
"Don't be noticed! Now there is rumbling in the palace, beware of being implicated."
"Thank you Madam for your concern, the old slave understands. Does Madam have any more orders?"
"Tell Your Highness, pay attention to safety, be careful in everything. It is not important to find out the truth, what is important is the safety of the family."
"The old slave understands! The old slave will truthfully tell His Highness."
