Chapter 575
But Yao Yanyu saw that the emperor took all the princes and envoys to the hunting garden, so she discussed with Zhang Cangbei, and Zhang Cangbei would accompany her, while she went to King Cheng to assist in the investigation of the poisoning.

As the emperor's closest brother, Lord Cheng is in charge of [-] Jinlin Guards and controls the four cities and nine gates of the Dayun Imperial Capital, so his methods are naturally unmistakable.Moreover, the poisoning incident of the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom involved the Dayun State System, so it can't be sloppy.Prince Cheng tried his best to find out the truth of the matter, so as to give the emperor an explanation.

Things have come to this point, only to go all out.

It's just that this is easier said than done.

Even if all the eunuchs and maids in the Yun'an Palace are detained and tortured, it's useless. Today's banquet has thousands of dishes, and there are dozens of drinks alone. Hands of a dozen people.Therefore, it is far from enough to interrogate only the people in Yun'an Palace.

Do you want to detain all the servants in this Nanyuan?Can the state banquet be held today?
When Yao Yanyu came over, Lord Cheng had asked Yun Kun to divide his subordinates into ten groups, and with the assistance of officials sent by the Ministry of Punishment, they interrogated the maids and eunuchs in Yun'an Palace one by one.

Seeing Yao Yanyu approaching, Lord Cheng sighed slightly, and said: "You came just in time. Although these people are masters of torture, they don't understand poison. Today's matter is related to the stability of the frontier and the dignity of the court. If it can't be handled well, everyone Not having a good time.”

Yao Yanyu bowed and said: "My lord, if there is anything I need to do, just ask me. I will do my best."

Prince Cheng looked back at Yun Kun who was standing beside him, and asked, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to ask Yao Yuan to come over for help? If you need anything, just say it."

Yun Kun cupped his hands towards Yao Yanyu and said, "Master Yao, please come with me."

Yao Yanyu cupped his hands towards Lord Cheng, and followed Yun Kun to the side room.

Yun Kun's meaning was very simple. The poisoning incident of Dongwa's waiter was too strange. Among so many waiters, he was the only one who was poisoned with arsenic.Originally, they were expecting that Aba Kesha would try his best to bribe the prince to kill the Uighur prince, but they never thought that something would happen to Ye Chuan.

"Master Yao, when you gave Ye Chuan an injection to detoxify, you said that the poison he received was not fatal. Isn't that true?" Yun Kun asked as he entered the room.

"Yes." Yao Yanyu replied.

After entering the room, Yun Kun asked again: "Is there any relationship between Shixiangruan and the poison in Ye Chuanzhong?"

Yao Yanyu hurriedly said after hearing the words: "The lower official is also planning to tell the Shizi about this matter. Shixiangruan is a chronic poison. If it is taken for several days, it will definitely kill you, but if it is just mixed with aromatherapy and ignited, it will not be fatal. It will only make people's senses become chaotic, and the human body will gradually enter a dormant state. For No Chuan, the only effect is to delay the onset time of the poison in his body."

Yun Kun was shocked when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "So, the poisoning of Yechuan didn't necessarily happen at the banquet?!"

"Maybe it's the tea I drank before, or maybe it's the mouthwash I used when I washed it before. In short, it won't be too long. Because the arsenic poison doesn't take long."

"In this way, we may have let the real murderer go..." Yun Kun sighed long, his thick black eyebrows were deeply locked.

During the silence, suddenly a Jin Linwei hurried over, came to him, bowed and said, "Master, a palace maid has been poisoned!"

"Where is the person?!" Yun Kun asked sharply.

"Over there, he is not dead yet. The prince said to ask Mr. Yao to go and have a look."

"Let's go." Yun Kun glanced at Yao Yanyu and said in a low voice.

Yao Yanyu didn't say anything else, followed Yun Kun and the Jin Linwei in a hurry, but saw that several imperial doctors over there were already pouring the maid's emetic soup.

"Get out of the way!" Yun Kun shouted in a low voice.

Everyone heard the words and immediately gave way to Yun Kun and Yao Yanyu.

"Master Yao." Yun Kun looked at Yao Yanyu, "You must save her."

"En." Yao Yanyu stepped forward to grasp the maid's pulse, and whispered: "Silver needle."

An imperial physician conveniently placed a silver needle, Yao Yanyu glanced at it, did not speak, just raised his hand and pierced the silver needle into the Hegu acupoint on the maid's left hand.

The palace lady's poisoning was actually deeper than Ye Chuan's. Yao Yanyu spent an incense stick of time to force out the poison in her body, and the palace lady's bluish face finally turned a little bloody.When closing the needle, Yao Yanyu accidentally discovered that the maid's little fingernail was broken, so she turned her mind inexplicably, and took her hand to carefully examine the nail seam of that little finger.

"What?" Yun Kun immediately knelt down and asked.

"Her nails were bitten off." Yao Yanyu pinched the little finger and said to Yun Kun, "Ask someone to bring a bowl of water."

Before Yun Kun could give an order, a bowl of clear water had already been handed over to him.Yao Yanyu looked back at the panic-stricken maid who had just woken up, smiled lightly, and said, "If you tell the truth now, maybe I can ask the eldest son to spare your life."

The palace lady just had a panicked face, her big eyes were filled with tears, she bit her lip and shook her head vigorously but didn't say a word.

Yao Yanyu frowned helplessly, put her little finger into the bowl and washed it gently, then checked her other fingers, and then simply washed her fingers one by one in the bowl.After that, Yao Yanyu let go of the maid's hand, and told the people next to her: "Take care of her, don't allow her to bite her nails."

If the people next to him don't understand what happened at this time, they don't need to be under Lord Cheng's hands.Someone immediately took a rope and cut the maid's hands behind her back tightly, and someone else took a veil and stuffed the maid's mouth.

Yao Yanyu handed the bowl to an imperial physician and said, "Try to see if the water is poisonous."

The imperial physician immediately took a silver needle and put it in, and the silver needle instantly turned black.There was a silent inhalation sound all around.When Yun Kun looked back at the maid again, she already had the same gaze as Ling Chi: "Come here, take this maid to the west side room, I want to interrogate her myself!"

With this breakthrough, the progress of things is very fast.

In the evening, with the support of Zhen Guogong, Wei Zhang and others, the emperor returned from hunting with envoys and princes from all over the world, and ordered people to set up a shelf in the hall to roast a whole wild goat.

After an afternoon of riding horses and hunting, the embarrassment at noon was diluted a lot.The envoys of various countries are no longer fully alert, the prince of the Western Uyghur is especially happy, and praises the Dayun royal family for all the good men, the emperor is bold and mighty, and the princes are even more lively.

The emperor was very happy, smiled and perfunctoryly said a few words to the Uighur prince, and then went to the apse under the pretext of changing clothes.In the apse, Prince Cheng was already waiting there.Even Wynn was driven out. After the emperor took his seat with the support of Prince Cheng, he asked in a deep voice, "How is the investigation going?"
