The Queen Mother indeed slept uneasily that night.

When he was awakened by Nanny Qin, he felt unhappy instinctively, but he still sat up.

"What's up?"

"Master, this is not good..."

Nanny Qin's voice choked with sobs, "Oh no, Nanny Gui...is dead!"

"What?!"

The Queen Mother rolled over and got out of bed, "What happened?"

In my anxiety, I even forgot to wear my shoes.

Nanny Qin knelt down and pointed outside.

"The Queen sent someone to say that Nanny Gui was trying to murder Concubine Li and the little princess, and the plot was exposed. She also tried to hold the Crown Prince hostage...

After being caught, he took poison...

suicide! "

The Queen Mother's body swayed. Nanny Qin stood up and wanted to support her, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's voice seemed calm on the surface, but if you listened carefully, you could tell that she was trembling.

"Madame Gui, where are you now?"

"The guards of the Palace Front Department, under the order of the Queen, have just brought back the body of Nanny Gui... and are outside the palace...

Master, Aunt Gui died tragically! "

Nanny Qin was always calm, and this was the first time the empress dowager saw her crying bitterly.

The Queen Mother withdrew her gaze, put on her inner garment, and staggered out.

Having been away from their homeland for more than ten years, they are more like sisters than master and servant. They are each other's relatives in Dafeng.

Under the dim moonlight, a piece of white cloth stained with red marks looked particularly glaring.

The Queen Mother walked over and came to the white cloth, but her steps became slower.

"master......"

Nanny Qin was worried.

The Queen Mother seemed unaware as she slowly leaned over, pinched a corner of the white cloth, and quickly uncovered it!

"Bang!"

The white cloth was thrown aside under the influence of gravity.

"ah!"

Nanny Qin screamed out loud, and no one dared to approach except the empress dowager.

According to the rules of the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager likes quietness and palace maids are not allowed to approach without being summoned.

The Queen Mother had always had a cold temperament, but when she saw how Nanny Gui died, she couldn't help but shed tears.

There were not many external injuries. The Empress Dowager was well aware of Nanny Gui's skills.

If the other party had not come prepared, it would have been no problem for Nanny Gui to resist dozens of people.

not to mention......

When my eyes fell on Aunt Gui's dusty hair and the empty arms under her sleeves...

The Queen Mother's gaze suddenly became sharp!

Ignoring the dirt, he turned up Nanny Gui's cuffs and lapels and immediately understood everything.

Not a single hidden weapon left!

Feeling the powder on her lapel, the empress dowager took a little and put it to the tip of her tongue.

"master!"

Nanny Qin was speechless, but couldn't stop it.

When the Queen Mother tasted the ingredient, her face looked as terrible as death.

The other party is challenging her!

They knocked out the palace maids in Qiwu Palace, and the other party used the same method to knock down Nanny Gui.

Poor Aunt Gui, what kind of situation did she have to go through before she used all her hidden weapons and was knocked down by the drug, and finally she had no chance of survival...

The Empress Dowager's eyes swept over Nanny Gui inch by inch until they fell on the large bloodstain on her chest.

Obviously, it was not an external injury, but spitting out before death.

The Queen Mother took action to check the death of her facial features, as well as the stiffness of her limbs and hands...

Finally, I found abnormalities in the blood vessels in my neck and wrists.

"Madame Qin, light the lamp!"

The Queen Mother ordered, her voice calming down.

With the help of the light, the Queen Mother found a smear of powder on Nanny Gui's lips, close to the inside of her lips.

"Bring me something alive!"

Nanny Qin left quickly and took out a live fish from the kitchen.

This time, the empress dowager did not use her hands. Instead, she took a piece of white cloth from the side, dipped it in the powder from the inside of Nanny Gui's lips, and stuffed it into the fish's mouth.

In less than five breaths, the fish that was alive and kicking just now suddenly stiffened, and red liquid seeped out of its body.

Nanny Qin looked at the Queen Mother in shock. An unprecedented sneer appeared on the Queen Mother's face!

The toxicity of the black-headed silver snake, which is unknown to most people, has been processed into an even more powerful poison.

She naturally knew the symptoms of the poison attack, and had just used live fish to further confirm it.

After closing Nanny Qin's eyes, the Queen Mother stood up and looked at Nanny Qin, whose eyes were red. Her voice returned to its cold tone.

"Why are you crying? It's not time to cry until you make the other party pay the price!"

Kunning Palace.

It was a big hassle because Nanny Gui's hidden weapons were only contaminated with a few types of poison.

The Queen felt sorry for Concubine Li, so she asked her to work out a countermeasure, write a prescription, and have the Imperial Hospital prepare the medicine.

Concubine Li knew that those who were injured and poisoned were the elite troops under the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

He did not dare to be careless and asked the imperial doctors to help him prepare the medicine, but he still kept an eye on it personally.

The queen had no choice but to prepare a midnight snack and have someone deliver it to the three brothers, the crown prince, the second prince, and the tenth prince, who were going to the Yangxin Palace to report to the emperor.

Perhaps it was because he learned that Nanny Gui was poisoned to death by his mother, and that the poison was extracted from the black-headed silver snake, which made him feel particularly relieved...

Until late at night, Jun Baozhu was in high spirits and tireless.

Upon seeing this, Huo Feng revealed the latest developments in the Cining Palace to her.

When Jun Baozhu heard this, her eyes widened.

[What? The Queen Mother was so angry that two palace maids were beaten to death for not serving her well?! ]

[How cruel! His true colors are revealed! ]

[Where is Aunt Gui? Has she seen Aunt Gui's body? What is her reaction?]

[What? When the palace servants came in, she had no reaction, but the palace maids who carried the body were frightened. Did Nanny Qin's eyes turn red? ]

【snort! 】

Jun Baozhu spoke with disdain.
