Chapter 294 The reason
Ruyi, who was walking quickly behind Emperor Qinglong, couldn't believe it. The Queen died last night.

how come?Yesterday when I paid my respects, she was obviously fine. The Empress only said she had a headache, but when she saw her, she looked okay and didn't look like she was suffering from an emergency.

"Xiangyan said that it has only been reported to the emperor so far. The Queen Mother and other concubines don't know yet." Eunuch Li Sheng told the situation on the way.

"Have someone ask for the imperial doctor again." Emperor Qinglong ordered, with a heavy expression on his face.

It usually takes a quarter of an hour to say hello, but today it took less than half a quarter of an hour to arrive.

When Emperor Qinglong and Ruyi arrived, the imperial doctor also rushed over panting.Several people walked into the house together.

I saw Torreya and all the palace maids kneeling on the ground. Everyone was trembling and did not dare to raise their heads.

"Go and have a look." Emperor Qinglong motioned to the imperial doctor to come forward and check.

Although Ruyi was far away, she could still see clearly. The Queen was lying on the bed as if she was asleep.

Torreya watched Concubine Xi getting closer and closer, with more and more cold sweat on her forehead. What on earth did the Queen put in her tea yesterday?Why is it that Concubine Xi is fine today, but the Empress is gone like this?

"Your Majesty, according to my diagnosis, the Empress died of heart and lung failure." After all, the person has passed away, and no matter how skilled the imperial doctor is, he cannot give a specific reason.

"Xiangmei, did the Queen do anything unusual last night?" Emperor Qinglong asked the eldest maid who was closest to the Queen, hoping to find out something.

"No...no." Xiangren's words were true. Last night, the Queen's expression only changed from happy to confused. She ate the same dinner as usual and did not behave in any other strange way.

"Li Sheng, go check it out." Emperor Qinglong didn't believe how such a good person could suddenly leave. "I'll spread the word to various places and stay here today."

Hearing that Emperor Qinglong asked Eunuch Li Sheng to investigate, Xiang Torreya couldn't help but tremble. Li Sheng saw it at a glance and was suspicious. However, since the emperor wanted to investigate by himself, there was always a chance to know what Xiang Torreya was afraid of.

Later, Emperor Qinglong took Ruyi to the Queen Mother's place.

"What?" The Queen Mother accidentally broke the tea cup.

"I am also surprised. I have asked Li Sheng to investigate. I hope it is not man-made." If Emperor Qinglong wants to say that he has feelings for the queen, it is true that he does not, but if he wants to say that he has no feelings for the queen's death, that is not true either. , I just hope to find out the cause of the queen's death and prevent her from dying unjustly.

Li Sheng's progress is going very smoothly. Firstly, he has a good grasp of details, and secondly, he has outstanding insight.But Torreya couldn't bear it for a long time, so she explained in detail what she saw and knew.

"Who sent the note?" Li Sheng vaguely connected some clues.

"When the empress asked the slave to burn it, the slave saw the word "Zhao" written on the paper." Torreya burst into tears and her voice trembled as she spoke.

"After receiving the note, the Queen summoned Mrs. Zhao the next day?" Li Sheng's expression did not change.

"Yes, no one was in the house when the two were talking."

"When you paid your respects yesterday, you did see the Queen put something into the tea cup." Li Sheng asked the most critical question.

"Yes, the Queen did it herself."

After Li Sheng reported the situation, and after confirmation by the emperor, he sent someone to bring Zhao, the eldest prince's concubine, who lived in the southeast corner.

In the evening, Emperor Qinglong got the first-hand information.

"The eldest prince's concubine has confessed that the eldest prince gave the queen a medicine through her hands, and Xiangyan vaguely saw the queen put the medicine into the tea cup of the concubine Xi." Li Sheng had already finished the whole thing. The clues connected.

The eldest prince asked Zhao to pass the note, and successfully met the queen, and persuaded the queen to drug Concubine Xi, but he didn't know why the result was like this.Torreya said that Concubine Xi did drink that bowl of tea that day.

"Let the imperial doctor diagnose Concubine Xi's pulse, quickly." Emperor Qinglong didn't know who drank the bowl of tea with medicine, and whether the queen's death had anything to do with the medicine.

Ruyi saw the old emperor coming in a hurry with the imperial doctor. Before she could ask, he was pressed to check her pulse.

"How?" Emperor Qinglong felt his heart beat faster.

"Your Majesty is very healthy." The imperial doctor's words finally made Emperor Qinglong feel relieved.

"Let's show Li Guifei and Ma Guiren again." Emperor Qinglong asked everyone to retreat, "Li Sheng, take the eldest prince to the study."

"What...what's wrong?" Ruyi suddenly thought of infectious diseases, otherwise everyone who had been in contact with the queen would have had her pulse checked.

"There is something fishy about the queen's death. I'll come as soon as I can." Emperor Qinglong patted Ruyi's hand, signaled her not to be nervous, and followed him.

How could Ruyi not be nervous before she could think about it.

"It's not an infectious disease, the queen was poisoned." A voice that hadn't appeared for a long time.
