After returning to the Jushiyuan, Zhao Yanxun changed his clothes again under the service of the maid.
The royal family has a great business, so the maids will throw away the clothes stained by filth as usual.
Zhao Yanxun noticed this sign and immediately stopped it.
After the maid left with the clothes, Xue Baoyun who was accompanying her said: "Your Majesty, the palace has a lot of high-quality silk and satin. Your clothes will not be shortened no matter what, why do you need to keep this one!"
Hearing what Xue Baoyun said, Zhao Yanxun's eyes lit up. Today he just managed to persuade his wife to be responsible for saving money in the house alone.
"Princess, remember I told you that the end of this world is coming, do you still remember?"
Xue Baoyun vaguely remembered this statement, but she thought Zhao Yanxun was joking, so she never took it to heart.
"Your Majesty, how could the peaceful and prosperous age have the apocalypse you mentioned?" Xue Baoyun was very depressed.
"You must have heard of the man-eating monster that appeared before..."
Many people had seen Wang Changxin, the doctor who treated Lin Jingyu, transform into a monster, so Xue Baoyun knew about it.
Seeing that Xue Baoyun didn't speak, Zhao Yanxun continued: "These man-eating monsters will be more numerous than locusts and beasts in the future. When the time comes, it will be difficult for everyone to survive. Who will come to weave silk and satin?"
"Is it really that serious?" Xue Baoyun still couldn't believe it.
I have never seen zombies biting people with my own eyes. It is normal for Xue Baoyun to have this mentality.
"It might be more serious. I don't know how many of our people in the palace can be saved by then!" Zhao Yanxun looked gloomy.
But he suddenly realized that he should not convey his low mood, otherwise others would only become more desperate.
So he smiled again and said: "You don't have to worry too much, as long as I don't die, I will definitely protect you!"
This kind of earthy love words, combined with Zhao Yanxun's sincere expression, produced unexpected good effects.
"Your Majesty, I will urge the servants in the house to stop extravagance and waste!" Xue Baoyun said emotionally.
Just as the relationship between the couple was heating up, Huo An's voice was heard from outside: "Your Majesty, Xu Baihu is outside asking to see you!"
"Let him in!"
Zhao Yanxun wanted to see the foreign ministers, so Xue Baoyun stood up and left.
After a few breaths, Xu Hong came in from the door, paid homage, and then stood up to stand.
"Your Highness, Liao Chen and Shang Chen have already spoken to you!"
Picking up the tea cup, Zhao Yanxun said casually: "Tell me about it!"
"One of the monsters in the back mountain escaped last night. Liao Chen came out to look for it, and then he arrived near the Jushiyuan!"
A zombie actually escaped last night. Zhao Yanxun was so shocked that he put down his tea cup. At this moment, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Fortunately, nothing happened last night, otherwise if anyone in the palace was bitten, it would be a big trouble.
"The monster escaped, and Monk Liaochen also knew that the situation was serious, so he panicked and almost hit the prince!"
Nodding, Zhao Yanxun then asked: "He was in the Jushiyuan last night, but he didn't hear or see anything?"
"After my stern questioning, the monk confessed honestly that he was wandering outside the layman's courtyard last night and was discovered by the guards on duty..."
"oh?"
"I have already checked. The guards on duty last night all said that they had never seen Chen. So I infer that... it should be Xu Sanfu who found Chen!"
Xu Sanfu was the guard whose head was beheaded.
"Liao Chen said that Xu Sanfu wanted to stop him for questioning, but he was afraid of delaying the search for the monster, so he ran away, but he only ran away seven or eight feet. Liao Chen said that he didn't see the guards when he turned around!"
Zhao Yanxun stood up and said in a deep voice: "So you think Xu Sanfu was killed with a knife at this time?"
"Your Majesty is wise, that's what I think!"
The problem is that at this point, the so-called assassin still has no clue, which makes Zhao Yanxun extremely unhappy.
"What else did you ask?" Zhao Yanxun said coldly.
Seeing Zhao Yanxun's unkind expression, Xu Hong's heart immediately rose. He is still guilty.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing else to ask..."
Xu Hong felt guilty when he said this. He was responsible for this matter and was afraid that Zhao Yanxun would just kick him off.
At this moment, Huo An's voice was heard from outside the door: "Your Majesty, something happened over there with Lady Rong!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanxun immediately turned towards the door and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"Go back to your lord, a young eunuch in Madam Rong's courtyard is dead!" Huo An replied cautiously.
"How did you die?"
"It's said to be poisoning!" Huo An didn't see it with his own eyes.
"Go over and take a look!" Zhao Yanxun's face turned as black as carbon.
It's just that the end of the world has come. He has moved out of the capital, but there are still people who want to cause trouble for him.
People died one after another in the palace, and Zhao Yanxun was filled with anger.
“Go check it out!”
When Zhao Yanxun left, Xu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was in his throat just now.
Although this hurdle was temporarily passed, Xu Hong made up his mind that he would never let something like this happen again in the future.
A few minutes later, Zhao Yanxun arrived at Huang Rongrong's residence.
The guards guarded the surrounding area, while the maids and eunuchs remained silent.
There was a corpse of an eunuch placed in the center of the courtyard, and several imperial doctors were gathering next to it, looking at it carefully.
"Greetings to Your Highness!" Several imperial doctors stood up and saluted.
After signaling to the eunuchs to excuse themselves, Zhao Yanxun looked at the eunuch lying on the ground and asked, "How did you die?"
The leading eunuch immediately replied: "Your Highness, according to the inference of several ministers, this young eunuch died of poisoning!"
"How did you get poisoned?"
I saw the imperial doctor taking out a jug of wine: "When the little eunuch was poisoned, he just drank this jug of wine!"
"I have experienced it before, this wine is poisoned!"
Now the question arises again, who would poison the wine? What is the purpose of poisoning? Is it just to poison a little eunuch?
Looking at everyone in the courtyard, Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice: "Where does the wine come from?"
The maids didn't dare to answer, most of them really didn't know the situation.
Just when Zhao Yanxun was about to order someone to interrogate him, he heard a sad voice coming from the side: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Turning around, I saw Huang Rongrong, supported by the maid, stepping out of the threshold and kneeling directly on the ground.
What's the fuss about? Zhao Yanxun was extremely impatient, but he still held back his temper.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Yanxun could only ask: "My beloved concubine, what is your crime?"
"The wine that the little eunuch secretly drank was for watching the moon last night... The prince broke the appointment last night, so I ordered the banquet to be taken down!"
"It must have been the little eunuch who intercepted him and secretly drank the wine... but he was poisoned to death!"
Huang Rongrong's nose burst into tears. Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zhao Yanxun was not so angry anymore.
It can also be seen here that Huang Rongrong is simple-minded. When others encounter this kind of thing, it is too late to hide, but she takes the initiative to take care of herself.
"Who lives with this little eunuch?" Zhao Yanxun asked coldly.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am a slave!" A young eunuch next to him stood up tremblingly.
"Concubine Rong asked you to withdraw from the banquet last night. Has anyone else handled this jug of wine since you withheld it?"
"Back... back to your lord, this wine was hidden by the mistress. I don't know where he put it or if anyone else has handled it!"
Although it is not uncommon for servants to intercept you, it is also something that cannot be brought to light. It is normal for the mistress to hide her.
Since it was hidden, it means that it was probably poisoned before the banquet was taken down.
If he hadn't had a temporary incident last night and drank this pot of poisoned wine... Zhao Yanxun broke out in cold sweat again.
Could the assassin last night be the one who poisoned me?
To kill Zhao Yanxun surrounded by guards, poisoning is the safest and most feasible way.
