Chapter 519 Murder

"Master, Concubine Jing has gone too far. Please tell the emperor to leave at this time." The palace maid Luomei helped Lin Jieyu back and said.

"I think it's because Concubine Jing has something to do. Don't worry about it." Lin Jieyu smiled and said.

 “Master is a good-natured person.” Luomei sighed.

When Qi Yixiu arrived, the lights in the Taiji Palace were all on, which must mean something was going on.

He was not in a hurry to ask, so he went straight in. Seeing that Yao Meiren was also at the door, he waved his hand to tell her to get up.

This matter must be dealt with from the root. It has become such an earth-shattering incident. If it is not found out, I am afraid that even the Shen family will not be able to do anything.

 Shen Chuliu agreed and sent the emperor and empress out.

Yuanxiao came to talk about the matter, and the queen immediately asked people to come directly from the Criminal Division.

Concubine Jin was unique today and stood up hesitantly: "Let's break up then?"

 “Why is there a hole?” The inner room is not a kitchen. How can there be a mouse hole if there is nothing to eat?

"It was dug. I don't know how long it took. It's because my room is right on the outside." Shen Chuliu said, feeling his throat dry, so he took a sip of water.

"The outside of this cave is blocked with bricks. Isn't there a forest here, and no one usually goes to see it." Yuan Xiao whispered to Chi Su and others: "I will go to the Queen to report it first. This matter needs to be investigated. Who is coming this way?"

 When the queen came, everyone told the story, and the queen was also shocked.

 When he came in, everyone greeted him, but he just waved his hand.

Zhao Taiyi came in and saw that the emperor was also there, and hurriedly said hello.

Qi Jinxiu didn't ask anyone to move her, he just asked for a clean quilt that had been inspected to be covered with her, and that was all.

As for whether it was done during the renovation of Yufu Palace or it was there before, it's hard to say.

"Go and call the imperial doctor. Anyone in charge will be called for me. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, send someone to check." Qi Yixiu made a grimace and said, "Let me see who doesn't want to live."

Shen Chuliu had indeed developed a fever as expected by Dr. Zhao.

"You have a good rest and we will tell you when you feel better." The queen clapped her hand.

"Yes, yes, yes, the local scorpions are very small, not so big." Doctor Zhao also said hurriedly.

Isn't this too cruel?

"This matter must be investigated strictly. I am now telling you to be careful in your palace and check every corner." The queen said calmly: "As for who did this, don't leave it to chance as soon as possible. Concubine Jing was born in the Shen family, and her family has made meritorious deeds for generations. After entering the palace, she gave birth to a sixth prince, who is now in a high position. This incident is really bad, and the emperor and I will never take it lightly."

“Very good, let me check where these things came from.” Qi Yixiu said angrily.

"Hmm." Shen Chuliu took another sip of water: "I just thought about it for a long time, where did this poisonous scorpion come from? Some people eat it, but it is impossible for the palace to eat it. It can only be from your Imperial Medical Office."

"This... the Imperial Medical Office does have this. This is a medicine that is found in many medicines. But I don't know, usually what I bring back is a living thing or a dead thing." Doctor Zhao doesn't care about this.

"The neighbor dared to frame our master before." Chisu gritted his teeth: "Could it be that she wanted to die?"

The queen looked around at the people below: "This is all I have said. You can take care of yourself."

After Shen Chuliu was frightened, he fell into a state of low energy and curled up on the couch outside and fell asleep without waiting for the order from the imperial doctor.

Physician Zhao gave a few instructions to Yuanxiao and then left.

Yao Meiren hurriedly explained to Shen Chuliu: "The queen was sleeping, and suddenly a poisonous scorpion appeared on the couch and on the queen's body. Fortunately, the queen reacted quickly, and the gods and Buddhas blessed her and she was not hurt."

This was a follow-up reaction to being frightened. The emperor was already prepared when he entered Zhao Taiyi. Shen Chuliu had medicine to drink early in the morning, so he was not nervous.

"Tsk, it's hard to say, but this scorpion...she just entered the palace, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with, right?" Yuan Xiao said.

They saw Shen Chuliu sitting on the couch outside, and his response was a little slow: "Your Majesty."

She stood up to salute, but her legs felt weak and she was supported by Chi Su.

"This is really crazy. I'm going to ask people to check all the palaces. Mei Jieyu is still pregnant, so don't make trouble."

"Well, queen, go ahead. When you get back now, they should go and say hello. Let's talk about it. I have something to do today and I won't be free in the morning. I'll go to your place in the afternoon."

He didn't dare to say anything more, he just asked Shen Chuliu for his pulse.

Qi Yixiu came over to support her: "Didn't you say she wasn't hurt?"

Shen Chuliu, who was very lethargic at the moment, also said hurriedly: "Your Majesty and your empress, please go and get busy. I will not go to Fengzao Palace today. I need to check my own palace first."

This is really scary. If you are stung by a poisonous scorpion in your dream, you may be gone immediately.

This was clearly meant to put Concubine Jing to death. If she hadn't escaped from so many poisonous scorpions, how many times would she have survived?

"Exactly, Yuanxiao and the others have been catching them for a while. There are seventeen of them. They are black venomous scorpions half the size of a palm, highly poisonous things." Yao Meiren said.

"It's already barking, come quickly." Shen Chuliu said: "Yuanxiao and the others checked. This scorpion came in through a small hole under my bed."

When the Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty came, he didn't dare to say anything when he saw it. He just whispered: "The Imperial Physician's Office does use scorpions this time, but it is not this kind of scorpion. And in order to avoid scaring the nobles, usually what is sent in are finished products and no live animals. . And these scorpions are not the species found inside and outside the Imperial City. They are just things from the north."

 Everyone was busy responding.

“The queen was scared. The queen is most afraid of these things.” Yao Meiren still remembered the spider on the tree that scared Shen Chuliu many years ago.

"The imperial doctor is here." Yin Hu said outside.

In Fengzao Palace, the queen told the story and everyone was frightened.

However, since someone knows about this hole, there is no need to worry about finding it out.

 Qi Yixiu’s face turned dark instantly.

"It's okay, I'm okay." Shen Chuliu held the emperor's hand and sat down with a bitter smile: "My legs are just weak."

After a long while, he said: "Your Majesty, you are frightened and need to take good care of yourself."

Not many people bought it, so they all said hello to her perfunctorily and went their separate ways.

Yuanxiao nodded: "I'm going, you look at the master."

 In the inner room, the bed has been moved away. The hole was indeed dug out by man, and it looked like it was a long time ago, not just now.

 As she said that, she got up and went into the inner room without saying anything to tell everyone to disperse.

 The stewards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who had participated in the repair of Yufu Palace also came.

 “Call the imperial physician.” Qi Yi practiced Taoism.

"Anyway, let's report it first. Don't find out. It's a death-seeking thing." Chi Su was very angry.

She had no appetite for breakfast, so she only drank a small bowl of porridge and then fell asleep again. She didn't go into the inner room, so she just lay here.

 “Poisonous scorpion?” Qi Yixiu frowned.

What's more, this is direct murder. If Concubine Jing hadn't been lucky, she would have died.

good evening
