Chapter 350: The Han family is said to have poisoned the family, and I am also a suspect
Although he had received a pardon, the imperial physician was still afraid that Prince Changle would cause trouble for him, so he kept paying attention to his expression while speaking.
Li Tianzhuo was not an impatient young man, but it was true that he did not want to hear those bad words about the Han family.
"But as far as I know, none of those women died from poisoning."
"Besides, the princess just put on her clothes yesterday. It's impossible for the poison to take effect so quickly?"
He also picks up on some subtle details to make judgments.
The imperial physician agreed and bowed, "I don't know the answer, but don't worry, this poison is not contagious."
"Is there any poison on this cloth?" Emperor Nan Xin asked.
"This... I'm sorry I can't tell, but the cloth has been stained with the poisonous blood and abscesses from the princess' body. Even if it was non-toxic at first, it is now highly toxic."
For fear of angering Prince Changle again, the imperial physician was very picky about the words.
Emperor Nan Xin also understood the general idea and waved his sleeves, letting the imperial physician go down first.
"Tian'er, someone has died because of the Han family's fabric incident, and the one who died is Princess Xilei."
"This time, even if it's you, it'll be hard to save them!"
Li Tianzhuo looked up suspiciously and stared at Emperor Nan Xin.
"When Princess Jiaxiang is in trouble, shouldn't we first investigate the Western Envoy who came to see her yesterday, and the maids and eunuchs who served her?"
"The Dongji Han family and the Xilei Zhu family have no grudges against each other, so why would they harm her?"
"Besides, if the Han family really poisoned the fabric, why did everyone else wear it fine, but Princess Jiaxiang died?"
"Don't forget, the Han family consigned nearly a hundred pieces of cloth in total, and they couldn't predict who would buy what kind of cloth."
"Besides, Jiaxiang's clothes were made under the supervision of my son. If the Han family poisoned him, does that mean I am also a suspect?"
Li Tianzhuo analyzed calmly.
His arguments were so logical that the emperor and eunuch Cai actually felt that they made some sense.
"I am tired today. Let's discuss Xilei County Lord's matter tomorrow."
"Eunuch Cai, send someone to inform the Western Fortress envoys of this matter and take care of the princess's affairs after her death."
Emperor Nan Xin wanted to use the strategy of procrastination.
Let's wait and see what happens on the West Side.
Li Tianzhuo also returned to Changle Palace first.
Deng Youning, Jiang Yu and the Han brothers and sisters were all waiting for him in the palace.
After hearing the news of Jiaxiang's death, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn.
A trace of gloom passed across Deng Youning's face. "Just as the news of the poisonous cloth came out, Princess Xilei died of poisoning after wearing the clothes. This is too much of a coincidence."
Jiang Yu also sighed repeatedly, "That's right. Besides, it's so obvious that the other party is framing Miss Han alone."
Han Xinxin looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very frightened.
This was the first time something went wrong with her cloth after all these years of selling it.
"Tian Zhuo, you have to believe me, there is absolutely no problem with our cloth!"
She was even a little afraid that Li Tianzhuo and the Nan Xin people were in cahoots and would not believe her.
"Cousin, I will definitely believe you. Besides, this matter is not that simple. It seems to be targeting you, but in fact, they want to eliminate me as well."
Li Tianzhuo clenched his knuckles, and a hint of coldness appeared between his brows.
Deng Youning also looked unhappy.
"Yes, I feel the same way."
"Everyone in the world knows about my relationship with Azhuo and that he is close to the people of Dongji. The people of Xilei took advantage of this and put the blame on Dongji. As long as King Changle speaks for us, he will lose the support of the people of Nanxin."
"So Ah Zhuo, try not to get involved in this matter."
Deng Youning said this in a serious tone with a solemn expression.
Li Tianzhuo stared in disbelief, "Ningning, when something happens to you, how can I just stand by and do nothing?"
In the past few years, he has long regarded Deng Youning's relatives as his own.
Just like the way he addressed the Han family, the words "cousin" and "cousin" were all spoken from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to just let go.
He couldn't bear it either.
"What's the current situation of the other women with skin ulcers?" Li Tianzhuo asked Nangong Dao.
"Nothing serious has happened. The imperial physician has prescribed some medicine for me. I will be fine after taking it. I have also burned all the clothes I wore."
“The panic in the city was suppressed, but those who bought Han’s fabrics thought it was unlucky and just threw them on the street.”
"When I was patrolling the streets this morning, I arranged for people to burn them all."
Nangong briefly explained the situation.
Hearing that the fabric was burnt, Han Xinxin felt extremely distressed.
Floating Light Brocade, Mermaid Gauze, and Heavy Lotus Silk, these are all the best fabrics in her Xiangrongfang!
The price is not cheap and it is not easy for her to produce it herself.
Moreover, once this incident came to light, it also implicated the cloth shops to which she had consigned the cloth.
She was in a very low mood and felt very uneasy.
Han Xian and Jiang Yu both noticed her emotions and hurried to comfort her.
Jiang Yu also took the opportunity to get closer to Han Xinxin, "We are upright and have nothing to fear. We have not done it and we have a clear conscience."
Han Xian agreed, "Yes, before things come to a conclusion, we should eat and drink, and don't exhaust ourselves."
As soon as Han Xian finished speaking, Jiang Yu handed him a snack.
Han Xinxin took it with a smile and took a bite.
Deng Youning looked at the snacks in her hand with shining eyes. Han Xinxin thought she wanted to eat some too, so she quickly asked Jiang Yu to push the whole plate to her.
"dessert……"
"Yes, that's right, it's snacks!"
Deng Youning suddenly stood up, stared at the pastry, and smiled disdainfully.
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
"Azhuo, didn't you say that the envoy from Xilei brought a box of snacks to Jiaxiang yesterday?"
"The problem may be the snacks."
"They also know they will be investigated. They can't put the poison directly in the snacks, but they can sprinkle it in the food boxes."
"Many poisons are not detectable when they are first administered. They take time to take effect."
"Jiaxiang took effect at the hour of Xu. By then, the Western Envoy had already left, so he had sufficient proof of his alibi."
After listening to Deng Youning's analysis, several people were still confused.
"Miss, how did you know that they put the poison in the cakes instead of on the clothes?"
Sakura asked in confusion.
This was also the question shared by everyone present.
"This is even simpler, because Jiaxiang was poisoned by two kinds of poison."
"The poison that causes skin ulcers is not enough to kill people. The real deadly poison is hidden in the cakes."
Deng Youning said firmly.
She already knew what kind of poison the Western Legation used.
"Azhuo, go check whether Jiaxiang likes to eat dim sum."
"Have you finished eating the snacks that the Western Envoy brought yesterday? If not, where did you put them?"
"Don't let anyone else eat it!"
Deng Youning was extremely nervous.
"You're not going to do it yet?"
Li Tianzhuo glanced at Nangong, then turned around and handed the task assigned to him by Deng Youning to Nangong.
Nangong left the house immediately.
But just as he reached the door, he bumped into the maid Han Xinxin who was running over in a panic.
When the Han siblings came to Changle Palace, they did not bring the maid with them.
She ran away from the house rented by the Han family.
