Chapter 284
"One hour is coming, and the antidote has not yet been found. The Queen is still so sure. She is clearly making fun of our princess's life." The envoy was very angry when he saw her attitude.
"Your Majesty, please don't be excited. Isn't the hour not yet here? If the hour comes and your princess is not dead, I will save her life."
Besides, our emperor has just promised that if he cannot save your princess, he, the king of the country, is willing to risk his life, so what are you afraid of?
Everyone can rest assured and wait for an hour to see the results.
Since I am idle, I will conduct an autopsy for you to entertain you." Bai Jiujiu's eyes fell on Qiutan's body.
After hearing what he said, everyone felt timid. Everyone was dead, so they had to take him down and deal with it quickly. They also had to conduct an autopsy.
"This maid had already admitted before she died that she had poisoned Princess Dongrong. Why did the Queen have to perform an autopsy on her? She also had a habit of doing autopsies on others?" Someone ridiculed.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more frightened. Wouldn't it be scary for a woman to have a habit of doing autopsies?
Bai Jiujiu explained: "I don't have a habit of doing autopsies. I only do autopsies for those who need them. I don't believe what this slave says. A little slave actually wants to provoke relations between the two countries. This is absolutely impossible."
It's as simple as saying that I want to help the Queen Mother vent her anger."
After listening to Bai Jiujiu's words, everyone felt that it made sense.
Bai Jiujiu walked to Qiutan's body and knelt down to perform an autopsy on her. He first checked her mouth and found that she had indeed bitten the poison and died.
Then he checked to see if there were any injuries on her body, opened her sleeves, and was shocked when he saw the pattern on her arm that looked like a wolf and a lion.
"This maid actually has a tattoo on her body." Someone who didn't recognize this totem said casually.
Seeing this, Situ Hui stepped forward and came to Qiutan's body. He raised her arm to check and frowned.
Xuanyuan Jin naturally saw this totem and said coldly: "Your Highness the Regent, I heard that the Wolf and Lion Army under your command all have a totem that looks like a wolf and a lion on their arms, and some of the Wolf and Lion Army are in the open, such as wolves.
In the Lion Army barracks, there are also Wolf and Lion Army shadow guards in the dark, and there are also Wolf and Lion Army soldiers scattered in various countries in the Huangteng Continent. I wonder which branch of yours this bastard belongs to?"
After hearing this, everyone immediately understood what was going on and started talking one after another: "It turns out that this cheap maid is from the Xijiang country. The people from the Xijiang country actually sent agents to lurk around the Empress Dowager Zhongchang, taking the opportunity to sow discord between Dongrong and Zhongchang.
Western Xinjiang is trying to reap the benefits."
"Yes! Xijiang has always been eyeing Zhongchang. Once Dongrong starts a war with Zhongchang, Xijiang will definitely take advantage of it. It's terrible."
"I thought it was a matter between Zhongchang and Dongrong Kingdom, but I didn't expect that the mastermind behind it was actually Xijiang Kingdom."
After checking, Bai Jiujiu confirmed: "This person is from Xijiang. Some people from Xijiang and Zhongchang can be distinguished from each other at a glance, while others are difficult to distinguish. Qiutan looks very similar.
The type of people from Zhongchang, but as can be seen from the knuckles, the knuckles of Xijiang women are larger than those of Zhongchang women, and their ears are also different. The ear bones of Xijiang people are slightly harder than those of Zhongchang people.
There are also women in Western Xinjiang who like Chaoyan flowers. In their opinion, Chaoyan flowers can bring them good luck and happiness. Therefore, as soon as girls are born, their parents will brand a Chaoyan flower on their chests.
Mark and wish them good luck and happiness in the future.
There is one on Qiutan's chest, so we can be sure that she is from Xijiang."
The Queen Mother took a step back in shock after hearing this: "I didn't expect that Qiutan, who has been with the Ai family for many years, is actually from Xijiang. I didn't find out."
"These characteristics are not obvious, and she deliberately concealed her identity. It is normal that the Queen Mother did not notice it." Bai Jiujiu said.
"It seems that Xijiang has great ambitions. He actually extended his minions to the Zhongchang Palace and stayed there for more than 20 years. It must be that no news about Major General Zhongchang was passed to Xijiang in these years."
Situ Huan listened to everyone's discussion without getting angry or impatient. Faced with this sudden situation, he remained calm and composed. He stood up and said: "The totem on this maid is indeed the totem of our Wolf and Lion Army, but this person is not one of my king's men."
Wolf and Lion Army, and the totem tattoo on her arm has not been tattooed for a long time, it was tattooed recently, and she deliberately pretended to be a member of our Wolf and Lion Army to frame me."
"The totem of the Wolf and Lion Army should not be tattooed by anyone casually. I heard that this totem requires special materials and special human tattoos. Since the regent is sure that the totem on her arm belongs to your Wolf and Lion Army, but
If you don't admit that she is yours, I'm afraid this statement will be unconvincing." Xuanyuan Jin analyzed with a faint smile on his lips, but his strong aura made people dare not underestimate her.
"There must be a traitor in our Wolf Lion Army. I will definitely investigate this matter when I return and give an explanation to Zhongchang and Dongrong." Situ Hui assured.
The envoy of Dongrong Kingdom was unhappy when he heard this: "The regent of Western Xinjiang can slowly investigate the traitors under his command, but our princess cannot wait. Seeing that one hour is coming, our princess's life will be lost. You
Let us go back and explain to His Majesty that the Ninth Princess is His Majesty’s favorite daughter. If she is gone, our Majesty will never let it go like this.”
Upon seeing this, King Laozan said disdainfully: "A small Dongrong still dares to be enemies with Zhongchang and Xijiang. If a fight really breaks out, Dongrong will suffer heavy losses and even risk the destruction of the country."
"
"You——" The envoy was very angry after hearing what King Lao Zan said.
Bai Jiujiu hated Lao Zan Wang's bully attitude and sneered: "Lao Zan Wang, now Zhongchang and Xijiang are in trouble, Dongrong is the victim, how can you say this! This is not intentional
Bullying? Our emperor governs the country with benevolence. If something happens to Princess Dongrong in Zhongchang, we will be responsible.
The person who poisoned is a person from Xijiang, and Xijiang is also involved. Xijiang also has responsibilities, and if you have responsibilities, you should be responsible, instead of bullying others with your own arrogance. What has happened to us in Zhongchang?
Everyone came here with good intentions to congratulate the emperor on his enthronement, but in the end we still bullied him. Who will dare to be on good terms with Zhongchang in the future?"
King Lao Zan is clearly trying to destroy Zhongchang's reputation and put Zhongchang in a situation where he is unkind and unfair, using the strong to bully the weak, which makes people disgusted.
"Jiujiu said it well." Bai Weiyang immediately supported his daughter and agreed with her statement.
King Laozan was helpless when facing the father and daughter. He glared at them angrily with murderous intent in his eyes, and could only explain: "Your Majesty, I just don't want anyone to run wild on Zhongchang's territory."
"Territory? King Lao Zan thinks he is a bandit leader! He is still fighting for territory." Bai Jiujiu continued to taunt him. No matter what attitude he had towards him, he would never give in to her. He had sent people to kill her more than once before. Instead of being afraid
It's better to be timid and flatter him than to speak openly and embarrass him.
King Lao Zan clenched his fist angrily.
"Since this matter is related to our Xijiang Kingdom, no matter whether the person who poisoned is my king or not, Xijiang is responsible for the poisoning of Princess Dongrong. If there is something wrong with the princess, I will personally go to Dongrong Kingdom to the east.
His Majesty Rong apologizes and will never let Dong Rong’s envoy go back to embarrass him." Situ Hui promised.
The envoy was still worried: "If something happens to our princess, even if the regent goes there in person, he won't be able to save us."
Bai Jiujiu looked at the clock, curled his lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, envoy, your princess is already awake. Qingyao, please ask Princess Dongrong to come out!"
Everyone was puzzled. They thought Queen Zhongchang was frightened. Princess Dongrong had not taken the antidote, so how could she wake up?
When one hour comes, I'm afraid Princess Dongrong is gone.
When they saw Qingyao supporting Princess Dongrong walking out of the side hall, everyone was stunned and confused as to what was going on.
Even the envoy of Dongrong Kingdom was stunned: "Princess, are you okay? What's going on? Why did the princess recover without taking the antidote?"
Although he looked a little weak, his complexion was good and his lips were red.
Situ Hui was also surprised. He quickly thought of what was going on and looked at Bai Jiujiu with unconcealed admiration in his eyes.
There was a smile in Xuanyuan Jin's eyes. This girl was really impressive.
