Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 445 Who murdered the emperor's heir? (3)
Doctor Chen spent more than half an hour carefully inspecting the inside and outside of the house, and then came out to report, "Your Highness, I have already checked all the things in this room, Your Highness——"

It's almost four o'clock now, Yin Shu said impatiently: "Don't beat around the bush, can't you just tell the result directly? Didn't you see that we are all frozen here?"

Dr. Chen raised his eyes slightly to look at Yin Shao, saw Yin Shao nodded, and then said: "The source of the serious illness of Madam Chengwei has not been found in the room of the little highness—"

Liao Qianhua finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words.

Not wanting to follow the next moment, Dr. Chen changed the topic, and was a little embarrassed: "But I still found some signs."

"Doctor Chen, what does this mean? Didn't you say—" Liao Qianhua was startled.

Dr. Chen got up, turned around and led everyone in, "Your Highness, please move in."

A group of people followed into the room, and Dr. Chen walked to the corner, took off the lampshade of the palace lantern there and said, "Your Highness, I have checked it, and there are traces of that deadly medicinal powder left on the lampshade."

"Up here?" Yin Shu walked over first, took the lampshade curiously and looked left and right.

Naturally, he couldn't see anything, so he heard Dr. Chen continue to say: "The lampshade is stained with some inconspicuous smell. Although there is nothing unusual about the candle inside, according to Xiao's inference, it is very likely that it was from before. The candle has been replaced, and the medicinal powder is mixed in the candle. When the candle is lit at night, the poison will evaporate and accumulate for several days. Although the problematic candle has been replaced, there are still some Traces remain on this lampshade."

"There's something wrong with the candle?" Liao Qianhua quickly walked two steps forward, and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? Which daring slave would dare to do such a thing?"

She went to fetch more than half of the candle to check, "And it looks like this candle has been used for a few days, how could it be replaced temporarily?"

At that time, the big girl in charge of the yard, Le Zhu, had already knelt outside in panic.

Liao Qianhua turned her head to look over, and asked, "Who is usually in charge of these things?"

"This——" Le Zhu trembled, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "The things in your highness's room are—all taken care of by the servants themselves." Then, she cried with tears: "But your majesty, This servant can swear to the sky that I really never touched this candle, and the illness of Empress Chengwei really has nothing to do with this servant."

Yin Liang, Yin Hua and the others all waited for Yin Shao to make a statement with expressions like watching a joke.

Yin Shao glanced over coldly, Le Zhu couldn't hold it any longer, broke out in cold sweat and lowered his body as hard as he could, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, it really has nothing to do with slaves, I—"

"What do you mean, you still have to be sentenced to confess?" Yin Shao said, raising his hand completely involuntarily, "Come here—"

"Your Highness, I am wronged, my servant is wronged." Le Zhu shouted loudly.

Feng Yuhe had ordered someone to hold her down.

A guard came over with the board and began to torture her without allowing her to resist.

The weight of this board is heavy, if a delicate and weak woman is ruthless, she will basically lose her breath after going down a dozen boards.

So the guards only went down three or five boards, and Le Zhu let out a wail and passed away.

"Wake up!" Feng Yuhe said coldly without any compassion.

The guard poured two ladles of cold water on her, Le Zhu moaned and woke up slowly.

Yin Shao was still condescending, staring at her expressionlessly, "Shouldn't you say anything?"

"Your Highness, the slaves really don't know anything. Even if something went wrong in your highness's room, you can't just assume that it was the slaves. How many slaves come and go in this yard—" Le Zhu said with a trembling voice , with tears and snot running down his face.

"There are a lot of slaves in this courtyard, but you are the only one who can enter and exit the room of the little highness at any time." Baoyin said angrily: "You said it has nothing to do with you? Even if you didn't do it yourself, you just let it go It was also your fault that other people entered and exited His Highness's house, and you cannot escape the responsibility either. Le Zhu, do you still want to forcibly argue?"

No matter what, this girl is doomed.

Yin Shao didn't care about her life at all, Feng Yuhe still gritted his teeth when he saw her, and was about to greet her to continue the execution, when a concierge woman hurried over in the garden and reported: "Your Highness, the Empress is here, drive immediately It's almost at the gate, please go and pick me up with the princess and concubine."

Because Baoyin mentioned the art of witchcraft, Empress Liu was still worried about coming, so in the end she couldn't help but turned back halfway.

Yin Shao glanced at Le Zhu lightly again, and said: "Think of a way, I must pry her mouth open for Bengong."

After saying that, he lifted the corner of his robe and led the crowd straight to the gate.

At that time, Empress Liu's car had just arrived, and she was helped out of the car.

"My son has seen the queen mother." Yin Shao brought people forward to greet her, and personally helped her with one hand, "It's so late, why is the queen mother here?"

"Jie'er, the kid, he didn't follow him halfway, and said he must come back. I can't subdue him, so I can only go back." Empress Liu laughed.

Baoqin brought Yin Jie down from the carriage behind.

Liao Qianhua hurried up to meet her and said: "Mother Xi, let Jie'er rest at this palace tonight, and you send him there first."

Empress Liu cast a suspicious glance.

Liao Qianhua looked embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

"Something happened." Yin Shao said, explaining while leading Empress Liu in.

"What? Which servant is so bold that he actually made trouble in Jie'er's house?" Empress Liu sat down in the main hall, and after hearing the general story of the matter, she immediately complained.

Yin Jie dared to attack her idea, which really touched her back.

"Isn't Doctor Ma on your side? Hurry up and tell him to take Jie'er's pulse." Empress Liu was in a state of unrest, and almost rarely lost her composure, so she hurriedly ordered.

Yin Shao winked, and some maidservants went down to deliver the message.
