First Concubine

Chapter 145 The real murderer is exposed (1)

The old lady glanced at her unconscious son and felt a twinge in her heart: "I don't doubt you. After all, this medicine has passed through the hands of many people. It is not impossible that something went wrong during this period."

Leng Youru's water-like indifferent eyes suddenly filled with tears: "Yu'er gave me the medicine, and the prescription was also given by Yu'er. I just prepared it according to the method provided by Yu'er, or I personally changed the medicine for the prince. , or tell Cen'er and Qiao's mother to give it to Uncle Yu. No one has done anything wrong during this process! Mother, if you don't believe it, you can send Doctor Hu to check if there is any poison!"

Shui Linglong felt that Leng Youru used to be like a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world, but now she suddenly became down-to-earth!

 The old lady asked Uncle Xiang Yu: "When the princess is not here, are you the one who changes the dressing for the prince?"

Yu Bo paused and was about to nod, but thought of something else and shook his head: "After Zhaoyun arrived, the task of changing the dressing fell on Zhaoyun."

  Meaning, if the poison is really hidden in the medicine, then Liu Lu has been blamed for it?

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows and scanned the faces of Leng Youru and Qiao's mother with sharp eyes. The former was indifferent and sad, while the latter had a painful look on her face. You can tell carefully that Qiao's mother is not as good at acting as Leng Youru. That one Is Tiao Yitai crying or laughing?

If this poison was administered by Leng Youru, then Shui Linglong really thinks this woman is crazy! Zhuge Xi had been kept secret for five years, and he also set up Leng Wei and Yao Cheng, which ultimately led to Leng Wei going to **** in that tragic way... And she has never been able to conceive a child. I'm afraid Leng Youru did something. !

 Crazy woman!

Qiao Hui sat next to her, stretched out her warm bare hands to hold hers, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I believe the prince will get better."

If Dong Jiaxue's overtures always gave people an uncomfortable feeling, Qiao Hui's gentleness seemed particularly touching. Shui Linglong tucked her hair back from her temples and gave her a happy smile.

Qiao Hui added: "It's just that grandma is soft-hearted. I don't know if I can get to the bottom of it today."

Shui Linglong looked at the gloomy old lady. No matter how innocent and inexperienced the old lady was, once her son's safety was involved, even if she was a cat, she would turn into a wolf.

The old lady's eyebrows stood up as if her tail had been stepped on: "Doctor Hu, go and check! Check the rooms of all the people who have been exposed to the plaster!" She wanted to see who had taken the courage of an ambitious leopard and wanted to harm her son. ?

If Leng Youru's down-to-earth performance today only surprised everyone, the old lady's anger that was on the verge of bursting out made people stunned. In particular, Mrs. Zhen has served the old lady for many years. Even if Zhuge Shu caused a huge disaster and killed someone, the old lady has never lost her composure like this!

Zhen holds the handkerchief tightly, even a dog can jump over a wall in a hurry, let alone a human being?

Dr. Hu's mouth moved, but he still hesitated. Shui Linglong noticed something strange about him and was about to ask. She didn't know what came to mind, but she leaned forward slightly and leaned on the back of the chair, waiting for Dr. Hu's call at leisure. Search results.

Doctor Hu searched the rooms of Leng Youru, Cen'er, Qiao's mother, Uncle Yu, and Liu Lu, but found nothing poisonous, but... found a basin of purple river cart. He looked at Leng Youru, and he didn't expect that she would even dare to eat that kind of thing just to stay in good looks. It was so surprising. But as a doctor, he didn't need to publicize this kind of secret.

 “As I said to the old lady, there is nothing unusual.”

Shui Linglong was stunned at first, and then realized that she originally thought this was a conspiracy to both hurt Zhuge Liuyun and get rid of Liu Lu. She should be able to find something from Liu Lu's room, but she quickly rejected this idea. It is speculated that the management of the main hospital is so strict that the princess is not able to hide things in Zhaoyun's room without anyone noticing!

 But if she didn’t want to kill Liu Lu by the way, Shui Linglong felt that this was not in line with the princess’s style of holding grudges!

So, what kind of changes will happen in the end?

Her suspicious eyes fell on Doctor Hu's thoughtful expression. Doctor Hu seemed to have... not finished speaking!

Mrs. Zhen raised her handkerchief and wiped her face in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I know the princess is innocent! I'm afraid there is something hidden in this matter, but we must not tolerate adultery! We must bring that evil thief to justice !" At the end of the story, his expression gradually became angry, and he unknowingly picked himself up.

Shui Linglong glanced at Mrs. Zhen and asked Doctor Hu: "Doctor Hu, do you have something to say? Is the poison in my father's body serious? How can it be cured?"

Doctor Hu was so impressed by this couple that he didn't even take a breath when he asked questions! He calmed down and said slowly: "Your Majesty is not deeply poisoned. I can use acupuncture to remove the toxins from your body. He will wake up in as soon as one day and as slowly as three or five days. At that time, he will take care of himself and recover." No problem."

Most people heaved a sigh of relief. Why the majority? Because when Dr. Hu was replying, Shui Linglong kept staring at the movements of Leng Youru and Qiao's mother with her peripheral vision, and found that when they heard the words "you will wake up in three to five days", the eyes of the two of them changed. At the same time, something strange flashed through him.

The poison that can be cured after a few days shows that it is not fatal in itself. Leng Youru’s purpose... is to make Zhuge Liuyun sleep forever, but I don’t know what went wrong. Zhuge Liuyun is not as serious as expected?

Cen'er winked at Qiao's mother and tugged on her sleeve. Qiao's mother opened her hand without leaving any trace, feeling quite unhappy.

Shui Linglong had a clear view of the two people's little movements, but she smiled and comforted: "Grandma and eldest sister, don't worry, Doctor Hu is very skilled in medicine. He said that if my father can recover, he will definitely recover."

The old lady’s frown relaxed slightly, but she still asked: “How did this poison enter the prince’s body? There is no problem with the food, the medicine, the incense and furnishings used in daily life are also no problem...”

 “This…” Doctor Hu looked around. The room was full of female relatives. It was difficult for him to say anything!

Shui Linglong blinked and said in a normal tone: "We are all women, but Doctor Hu said it doesn't matter."

Doctor Hu looked at the old lady, and when he saw the old lady nodded, he said: "I heard my master mention this poison when I was studying medicine. It is called 'rouge drunkenness'. As the name suggests, it is an incense used by women. , has the effect of promoting happiness. People with no distracting thoughts will not have any major effects after smelling it except drying the mouth and tongue. It is the most basic charming fragrance, has chronic toxic side effects, and can enter the man's body through the coordination of yin and yang. This The toxicity of incense to men and women is different. If men are poisoned, they will fall asleep; if women are poisoned, it will affect fertility. The reason why it is still popular in the world is that it has a strong beauty effect and can make the skin white and supple. "

Shui Linglong took a sip of tea and pointed her finger at Liu Lu.

Sure enough, as soon as Dr. Hu finished speaking, Qiao's mother cried out: "It is an unforgivable crime to frame the prince with such shameful means! Old lady, please call Zhaoyun in quickly and let Dr. Hu take his pulse." !”

 The old lady nodded solemnly.

Cen'er went out and escorted Zhaoyun in with red and swollen cheeks. Liu Lu didn't understand what was going on in the room. She just felt a breath as heavy as black iron coming over her head, which made her involuntarily lower her body. He knelt down and kowtowed: "My slave, I wish you good luck to the old lady."

 “Hmph!” The old lady turned her face away!

 Doctor Hu stepped forward to check her pulse.

Time seemed to have frozen. The door was not closed, and the cold wind rustled the broken jade bead curtain. The sound that you would not pay attention to at ordinary times now sounded sudden and startling.

 Qiao Hui and Mrs. Zhen secretly looked at Shui Linglong. Zhaoyun was her maid, Zhaoyun was causing trouble, could she take it clean?

Of course Shui Linglong cannot be picked clean! Zhaoyun is Liu Lu, and this is a fact that cannot be changed even by five thunderbolts. If the murderer is indeed Liu Lu, regardless of whether she was involved or not, this basin of dirty water will be poured all over her body.

Zhen's beautiful eyes rolled slightly. There were only two possibilities for this matter: First, Liu Lu was the murderer. She didn't want to be a concubine, but was forced to obey the prince due to threats from her family. As long as the prince slept, she would There is no need to sleep with him anymore; secondly, the princess is a murderer. She hated Zhuge Liuyun for abandoning Zhuge Yan to protect Zhuge Yu, and she also hated Zhaoyun for being charming and charming. This way she killed two birds with one stone, punishing the prince and killing Liu Lu.

 I don’t know... which one it is?

Doctor Hu withdrew his hand and took back the silk cloth, his brows furrowed. Zhuge Xi was anxious: "Tell me! Is Zhaoyun the murderer who framed my father?" Zhaoyun's story spread in the palace. Everyone knew that she had received the news a long time ago, thinking that although it was not very kind of her father-in-law to occupy his wife's room, his father had not taken concubines for more than 20 years, and his relationship with his mother and concubine was not very close. Even though It's understandable to look at someone who is considerate. Of course, she didn't know the inside story of Zhaoyun biting Zhuge Liuyun.

 Doctor Hu was worried and said: "Miss Zhaoyun does have 'rouge drunkenness' in her body!"

 “Bitch!” Zhuge Xi slapped him away!

Liu Lu's body tilted and she lay on the ground.

Zhuge Xi feels so resentful when she thinks of the middle-aged man who said to her, "My father is here, don't be afraid." He was so high-spirited at the time, but now he was seriously injured and unconscious. Zhuge Xi pointed tremblingly at Liu Lu and said sternly: "My father feeds you well, and also orders his servants to respect you as their master. What you eat and what you wear are not my father's." A reward from the king? Even a dog knows how to behave well, so why don't you poison my father?"

She looked out the door and said, "Come here! Beat this crazy slave to death with a stick!"

Liu Lu was extremely aggrieved: "Auntie, why did I frame the prince? I don't have one! What is 'rouge drunk'? Have you never heard of it?"

Zhuge Xi glared at her with disgust: "Are all the people outside the door dead? Master has an order, are you stupid or deaf?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two powerful women rushed in through the door, held Liu Lu down and dragged him out!

 Leng Youru had no objection!

But Qiao's mother stepped forward, spread her arms and blocked their way, saying, "Old lady, there is something fishy about this! Since Zhaoyun is the culprit, then... where did she hide the poison? We have to find it. Come out, so as not to be accidentally taken by someone or to harm others again, our house is really screaming!"

Shui Linglong finally figured it out. Leng Youru always presented a beautiful image to others, but left all the dirty things to Mother Qiao, who was a reflection of her inner shadow.

Zhuge Xi looked at Qiao's mother coldly: "My mother-in-law hasn't spoken yet, but you dare to make your own decisions and disobey my orders! Who gave you the courage to take advantage of your ambition?"

Leng Youru’s eyelashes trembled and her expression changed.

Zhen and Qiao Hui looked at each other, why did they feel that Zhuge Xi was insinuating that so and so?

Shui Linglong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, her voice cold and cold, containing just the right amount of worry and anger, no more or less: "Sister, what Mother Qiao said is not unreasonable. Since it happened, there is no The truth that has been revealed hastily. Father is our backbone. If something happens to him, half of the sky in the palace will collapse. It is urgent to find out the truth!"

She was grateful to Zhuge Xi for protecting his shortcomings, and would rather kill Liu Lu indiscriminately than let the fire burn her. But this time, she had to tear apart the hypocrisy of the truth behind the scenes!

  She wanted to see how these people could frame her for something she hadn’t done. !

Zhuge Xi glanced at Shui Linglong with hatred, isn't this girl usually quite clever? Why is my mind so full of mush at the critical moment? Zhaoyun is her roommate, no matter where the things are found from, she is always a suspect! She always thought that the palace was peaceful and peaceful, but after giving birth prematurely, she realized that it was a place of right and wrong! Confused girl, I'm afraid someone is deliberately using Zhaoyun's hand to frame her this time!

"You..." Zhuge Xi lowered his voice, "You really **** me off!"

Shui Linglong patted her hand and signaled her to calm down.

Leng Youru seemed to leave the decision-making power to the old lady: "Mom, in your opinion, should we check...or not check? Zhaoyun's room has been searched, and nothing fishy was found. If we continue to search, we must change place.”

 Where is the opinion of the old lady? Basically, she was leading the old lady to follow her wishes and investigate further!

Liu Lu was confused and couldn't understand what poison was. How could she poison the prince? Everything the prince eats and uses is inspected by dedicated personnel. Even if she had evil intentions, she would not do this! What's more, if she, a little maid, really wants to poison the prince, not only her, but also her father, mother and brother will die. Is she that stupid?

 The old lady looked relaxed.

Shui Linglong looked at Zhaoyun and smiled lightly: "Zhaoyun is my roommate. If you want to check, you should naturally check it in my yard. I will clean myself myself, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Mother Qiao smiled contemptuously, with a faint hint of pride, "My good concubine, you can't wash yourself off even if you jump into the Yellow River this time!"

The old lady sent her personal maid Ping'er to lead the search in person. Everyone sat down and drank tea quietly without anyone making a sound. Everyone here knows how much the old lady loves Shui Linglong. They are all grandson-in-laws, but the old lady doesn't treat Qiao Hui so well. If Shui Linglong is found guilty today, I'm sure the old lady will be very disappointed and disheartened! I wonder if this twilight old man, who is nearly sixty years old, can withstand this blow?

Old Taijun glanced at Shui Linglong with a complicated expression, as if feeling Old Taijun's gaze, Shui Linglong raised her eyes and looked at Old Taijun with a smile.

 The old lady also smiled slightly!

 The search work went very smoothly. About two-quarters of an hour later, Ping'er entered the room with Zhifan and Hongzhu.

Zhifan and Hongzhu have disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. It is not difficult to see that there has been a dispute before.

Leng Youru frowned slightly, and her voice was soft and gentle, as if the breeze was blowing on her face: "What's going on?"

Zhifan knelt down and said angrily: "Replying to the princess, Hongzhu sneaked towards the palace. The slave chased after her and saw her pouring something into the toilet. The slave caught her, but she bit her back. He said that the thing belonged to the slave! The slave and she started fighting, and then Ping'er and the others arrived. "

Hong Zhu frowned coldly: "You're talking nonsense! It was obviously you who went to destroy the stolen goods, but I happened to catch you near the toilet! You were the one who really bit back!"

 “You are so slanderous!”

 “You’re talking nonsense!”

"It's you!"

 “You, you, you! It’s you!”

 …

The two of them were quarreling so much that Leng Youru slapped the table and shouted: "Shut up!"

They were startled, and stopped at the same time. They lowered their heads and said nothing, but they looked at each other several times, wishing they could tear off each other's intact face!

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows and directed her cold eyes at Hongzhu. Ever since Hongzhu gathered a crowd to cause trouble in Mohe Courtyard, she had ordered Zhi Fanduo to keep an eye on her movements. Presumably, she also knew that she was being watched, no. A move is enough, a move is shocking. Didn't she take advantage of Zhi Fan's cautious mentality to trick Zhi Fan into going to the palace, and then frame Zhi Fan, waiting for Ping'er and the others to catch him? The timing was so accurate. She really doubted whether Leng Youru was an Oscar-nominated gold medal director in his previous life. He could arrange every link so exquisitely and compactly!

Two maids, the father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right. There is no third witness at the scene, so...

Ping'er spread her hands and shook her head, indicating that the two of them had already broken up when she arrived at Gong's room.

 The old lady waved her hand: "First check whether the box contains 'Rouge Drunk'."

Doctor Hu took the box from Ping'er's hand, opened it and smelled it, then looked at the bright light and observed it carefully for a moment, then leaned forward and said, "It's exactly 'Rouge Drunk'."

 Everyone... was shocked...

If they had suspected that Zhao Yun had any possibility of innocence before, but now they were completely disappointed and even the stolen goods were found, could Zhao Yun... not be the culprit? After all, Liu Lu was so close to Zhi Fan before she became Zhao Yun...

A hint of schadenfreude flashed through Qiao's mother's eyes at a very fast speed. Even Leng Youru couldn't restrain her joy and raised the corners of her lips under the cover of the tea cup.

Mama Qiao put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Oh! No wonder I couldn't find poison in your room. It turns out you belong to the Zangmo Heyuan! You two maids colluded with each other to murder the prince. It is a heinous crime!"

 Zhi Fan is Shui Linglong’s most valued confidant!

What is this indicating?

Based on the picture, it seems that it is not difficult to determine who is the mastermind behind the scenes!
