Chapter 359

The slave escapes

Author: Wen Jiutao

Huo Jiang stood there, his mind went blank. For a moment, he didn't know what he was going to do.

After a while, he turned to look at Imperial Doctor Zhang and said, "Did the imperial concubine Ling be poisoned to death?"

His biological sister, Concubine Ming, is in the palace. What things in the harem can be hidden from him?

"Yes." Dr. Zhang replied respectfully.

"What kind of poison?" Huo Jiang was once unwilling to care about the selfishness of the parents in the harem, but now he became interested and asked Dr. Zhang.

"I don't remember." Doctor Zhang's attitude was still respectful and sincere. It's not that he didn't remember, it was that the affairs in the harem involved many empresses and concubines, and every concubine in the harem was connected to the previous dynasty.

The hair moves the whole body.

He is just a royal doctor, he can't talk nonsense.

Huo Jiang didn't ask any more questions.

Dr. Zhang went into the house, packed the medicine box, and hurried out of the courtyard. He watched Dr. Zhang slowly walk away.

Huo Jiang's anger is still not gone. There is no hatred between Nanny Li and Mrs. Hou. She will not poison her. If she wanted to poison Mrs. Hou, she would not wait until now.

Someone must have ordered it.

There is no need to think about the person who instigated this. Huo Jiang knew that he must be from the Hou Mansion in the capital.

He said to several servants in the yard, "Does Grandma Li have any acquaintances staying at Qingqian Villa?"

There is a rule in Qingqian Villa. In fact, it is not only the rule in Qingqian Villa, but also in many houses. It means that if a person in the family works as an errand in the house, basically relatives, friends or acquaintances will find a job here.

Knowing the basics, the host family actually felt that it was quite good. Grandma Li had stayed in the Hou Mansion for so many years, and it was impossible for her to not be introduced to her by any relatives or friends.

Huo Jiang just wanted to know who ordered Nanny Li, and who had the courage to openly drug his wife in Qingqian Villa?

The servants in the yard did not dare to speak.

"Who is it?" Huo Jiang roared at them. Mrs. Hou has always been a generous person, and everyone is willing to bring their relatives and friends over, but they did not expect that something like this would happen.

Finally, a maid knelt down on the ground in fear and said, "Sir, there is a maid named Xingmei who cleans the courtyard in Mr. Marquis's yard, and she is Grandma Li's niece."

Huo Jiang didn't think twice and immediately shouted at them, "Go and find Xingmei."

Several boys ran out quickly. When they found the courtyard of the young marquis, there was no sign of Xingmei at all. They had to turn around and come back to where Xingmei lived.

Before she even reached the door, she saw Xingmei sneaking out of her apartment carrying a baggage. She was caught by a few boys.

Xingmei saw them and struggled to run away.

How could these boys let her run away?

They dragged her in front of Huo Jiang. Huo Jiang sat there with a sullen face, roaring at her, asking her to tell who ordered Nanny Li.

This Xingmei was very honest. After the Marquis threatened her several times, she told the truth and choked with sobs, "Auntie found the slave last night and said that someone paid her to poison the lady to prevent her from entering the capital. If it fails once,

There is still a second chance, and she must not be allowed to live! If she doesn’t do it, not only will she not be able to survive, but also those in the family will not be able to survive.”

Xingmei started to cry as she spoke.

"Pull him out and hit him twenty times, and blast him out of Qingqian Villa." Huo Jiang roared.
