"What? Jumping around? Injured the commander of the imperial army and burned down the eldest princess's house? I really underestimated him. I was deceived by him, thinking that he was really seriously injured, and almost killed Ning Guogong for him!
hateful!"
In the imperial study room, the emperor was furious and threw down all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table.
"Damn it, it's really deplorable! Fortunately, I care about blood and family ties, but I was deceived by the eldest princess's lies! They are so ambitious, what do they want to do!
He uses such despicable means to force me to deal with Duke Xu and Duke Ning, and makes me and the family become enemies. Is he just trying to make a profit?
wishful thinking!
The guards of the eldest princess's mansion were taken away by the eldest princess a long time ago. Now Xiao Yu is a trapped beast in the cage. I must capture him! If he can't be captured alive, he will be hunted and killed on the spot!"
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the deputy commander of the imperial army immediately took the order and left.
As soon as he left, the emperor said angrily, "Here comes someone!"
The door to the royal study room was pushed open from the outside, and a young chamberlain bowed his head and came in, standing at the door waiting for orders.
The emperor's face filled with anger suddenly looked a little confused, "Why is it you? Where is the manager?"
The young chamberlain stood at the door and responded respectfully, "The steward has a stomachache. He went into the side hall to rest and never came out."
The emperor did remember that the head chamberlain did say that he had an upset stomach before, and he was filled with anger and boredom. The emperor said angrily: "Let him come over!"
How uncomfortable can it be that I can’t even serve you!
If you really reward him with some color, he will open a dyeing workshop!
The emperor was so angry that the young chamberlain did not dare to say that the chief chamberlain's face was pale just now and he looked really uncomfortable, so he could only turn around and send a message.
moment.
A shrill scream came from the side hall, and the emperor's eyebrows jumped, and an ominous premonition hit his heart. Then, a wave of staggering and rapid footsteps stumbled towards the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the manager, he, he, he is gone!"
The little chamberlain turned pale with fright and looked at the emperor in horror.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand, and stood up suddenly, "What did you say?"
"Master Butler, he is gone!" the young chamberlain said tremblingly.
Side hall.
The emperor stared at the chamberlain who collapsed on the ground, with dried black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his anger reached an unprecedented high.
"Here! I! Check!" He gritted his teeth and almost broke his teeth. "Check! Who did it? Go and call the Minister of Punishment into the palace and ask him to check for me!"
The emperor shouted the last sentence hysterically.
But no matter how loud he shouted, the old man lying on the ground could not wake up. He would never tell him again that Your Majesty calm down and take care of himself. His Majesty did this and that. This person who had been talking to him for half his life could not even look at him now.
It doesn't open anymore.
The emperor staggered half a step and stepped back, "Why? You..."
Suddenly, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and saw something strange. He immediately stepped forward and squatted down next to the body of the chamberlain, "Lamp!"
A young chamberlain on one side held up a candle and stepped forward.
The emperor grabbed the candle directly into his own hand and shone it towards the ground.
Where the chamberlain's finger landed, half of the word was covered by his finger, and half of the word was written on the ground in blood.
The emperor removed the hand of the chamberlain, brought the candle closer, and saw the word clearly: hibiscus
hibiscus?
What does it mean?
The murderer's name?
Whose name has the character hibiscus?
Before the emperor could think about it, the little chamberlain next to him trembled and said: "Your Majesty, this is the calligraphy written by the master. Why did the master write the word "槿" for the Jinyi Palace where the Queen lives here?"
The emperor's eyelids suddenly twitched.
Jinyi Palace.
The queen loved hibiscus flowers, so many hibiscus flowers were planted in her palace, and the name of the palace was changed to Jinyi Palace.
What does the word that the chamberlain wrote in blood mean... The emperor almost didn't have to think about it, he had the answer directly in his mind.
The Queen killed him!
It was the queen who poisoned him!
The head chamberlain left him a signal before he died!
The emperor stood up, turned around, and grabbed the young chamberlain next to him, "Has the queen seen the steward today?"
The young chamberlain was so frightened that he became weak, "I don't know, I have been waiting in the yard. I don't know what the steward is doing. I usually follow the steward."
"Go call Xiao Zhezi!"
The little chamberlain took the order and left.
Xiao Zhezi was not found, but the Minister of Punishment arrived together with the envoy from Taiyuan Hospital.
Before, Xiao Yu's illness had always been personally dealt with by the hospital envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital. Now that Xiaoyu was intact and full of fighting ability, the emperor was furious. As soon as the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital arrived, the emperor picked up the candle in his hand and threw it at the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital.
.
The frightened envoy from Taiyuan Hospital quickly knelt down and said, "I am guilty and stupid. I beg Your Majesty to make it clear."
The emperor first went to the Minister of Punishment and said: "Find out how the general manager died and find out the murderer for me!"
After giving the instructions, he went to the Taiyuan Hospital and said: "Stupid? Are you stupid? I think you are not stupid, you are acting recklessly! I ask you, are you taking care of the injury of King Nanhuai?"
The envoy from the Taiyuan Hospital hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am only responsible for summarizing the pulse records and filing the injuries. The specific ones who will see the prince, diagnose his pulse and prescribe medicine are Dr. Sun and Dr. Qiao."
The emperor was furious, "Didn't you go see it yourself?"
The hospital envoy said: "At that time, the prince was sent back to the eldest princess's mansion. Dr. Sun and Dr. Qiao arrived at the eldest princess's mansion earlier. In addition, the prince's condition was urgent at that time. The two of them prescribed a treatment plan, so I did not waste time.
I went to get a diagnosis and immediately arranged for treatment. This was recorded in the Taipei Hospital file.
Your Majesty, but the treatment plan is wrong?"
The Imperial Hospital envoy looked confused.
The emperor looked at him suspiciously, and after a moment, he ordered: "Go and arrest Dr. Sun and Dr. Qiao!"
The Imperial Hospital envoy looked at the emperor with an expression that did not know what was going on but was very frightened. The emperor ignored him and turned to the Minister of Punishment: "What did you find?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said: "Currently, the direction is relatively clear, that is, the word "General Manager" left. However, this word is too pointed, and there are too many people with the word "槿" in their names, so it may be time-consuming to verify.
In addition, there were pastry crumbs on the corner of the steward's mouth. These pastry crumbs seemed to be the same as the snacks on the table. Before the steward's accident, according to his current position, he should have been standing at the desk and eating here.
The snacks on the table showed signs of being tampered with, and there were crumbs of pastry in the butler’s fingernails.”
The emperor turned his attention to the cakes.
The Minister of Punishment said: "I can only use silver hairpins or silver needles to determine whether the pastries contain poisons such as arsenic. Such poisons will make the silver needle black, but other poisons cannot be detected by silver needles."
You have to ask a doctor who is familiar with toxic poisons to check it out."
The envoy of Taiyuan Hospital: ...Isn’t this a coincidence?
