Chapter 155 Doesn’t He Have a Wife?
"Thank you, Your Majesty! There's still bear paw!" Xie Ruojiao exclaimed.
The leading eunuch smiled and said, "Although all the major generals have received rewards, the rewards given to the Northern Prince's Mansion and the Marquis of Jingnan are the heaviest. Your Majesty values the prince very much!"
"Your Majesty, we at the Northern Palace are honored by your grace." Jiang Rong smiled and gave Feicui a look.
Feicui immediately stepped forward and stuffed a bag of silver into the eunuch's hand.
The eunuch took the silver, smiled, said some auspicious words and left.
Xie Ruojiao looked at Jiang Rong expectantly, "Sister-in-law, which one do you like to eat? You pick first!"
She comes here every year to eat and drink, and has tried all kinds of rare barbecue.
But it’s my sister-in-law’s first time here, so let her choose first!
"Xiao Nanxing." Xie Lingxi, who had been sitting lazily beside him, called out.
Xiao Nanxing immediately stepped forward and carefully examined the barbecue and wine, saying:
"Everything is fine."
Although the emperor would definitely not want to poison them at this time, Xie Lingxi always took precautions.
Jiang Rong left the bear paw behind and picked up a plate of venison.
Xie Ruojiao happily picked up the bear paw...
A group of people were eating and drinking.
Dong'er came over holding a brocade box and bowed, saying, "Captain Chu hunted a fire fox today and gave the fire fox skin to the Crown Prince's wife."
Xie Lingxi narrowed his eyes slightly. Why would he give my wife a fire fox fur when he has nothing better to do?
Doesn’t he have a wife?
Would my wife be in need of firefox fur?
Jiang Rong was also a little surprised, "Chu Jue gave it to me?"
"Yes." Dong'er thought for a moment and added, "Captain Chu said that you are his distant cousin and should be taken care of more!"
Although she couldn't understand why they were relatives after two hundred years.
But everyone in the Mingxin Division knew that Captain Chu had a distant cousin, Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong’s Qianshan Su opened for business two days ago, and Captain Chu ordered a large batch of cakes and gave one to each person in Mingxinsi.
"Distant cousin?" Jiang Rong looked confused. Our Jiang family and Chu family are actually related?
I'll have to ask the elders in the clan later.
The Jiang family's ancestral home is in Jiangbei. She has never met many of her relatives, let alone recognize all of her cousins.
It has to be said that even Xie Lingxi was confused by Chu Jue's mysterious recognition of his relatives.
He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and thought for a moment. He counted three generations back, but could not remember when the Jiang family and the Chu family got married.
"Thank you, Captain Chu. Feicui, ask the guards to bring two jars of jade wine and send them to Captain Chu." Jiang Rong ordered.
Reciprocity.
When Dong'er saw Jiang Rong accept the gift, she breathed a sigh of relief and went back with her guards.
Wait until she leaves.
Jiang Rong immediately looked at Xie Lingxi and said, "Husband, the wind is a bit strong and it gives me a headache. Shall we go into the tent and take a rest?"
Xie Lingxi stood up and took her hand and walked inside.
After the two entered the tent.
"Husband, there is something wrong with the maid who came to deliver things today." Jiang Rong said cautiously.
She recognized the maid at a glance. She was the commoner girl who appeared in front of her that day.
Very suspicious.
Xie Lingxi's eyes darkened slightly, and he ordered Jingzhe, "Call Xiao Nanxing over and check carefully."
Xiao Nanxing immediately checked the fire fox skin...
"This fire fox skin was just tanned today, there's nothing wrong with it." Xiao Nanxing said.
Jiang Rong looked at the fire fox skin, then his eyes fell on the brocade box beside him. He picked up the brocade box and tapped it gently, his eyes stern:
"The board is empty."
Jingzhe immediately stepped forward and pried open the brocade box with a knife.
I saw that this brocade box actually had a layer...
There is a little white powder in the interlayer, which is stained in the gaps of the interlayer.
Xiao Nanxing used his index finger to dip a little powder to identify it, and his expression changed instantly:
"This is ghost grass powder, extremely poisonous, it kills instantly when it comes into contact with blood!"
Xiao Nanxing was puzzled, "But why put the ghost grass powder in the interlayer? It is not contaminated with the fire fox fur, so it can't harm the prince's wife at all. And the ghost grass powder must be taken orally to be fatal..."
Jiang Rong reacted instantly, "This is a frame-up."
It is very likely that someone used the ghost grass powder to harm others...
Once searched, it was found in this mezzanine.
When the time comes, Jiang Rong will say that it was sent by Chu Jue.
Will the emperor believe her or his trusted son?
Dong'er only needed to say that she came with the fire fox skin and that she did not put the fire fox skin in the brocade box.
The only people who saw the brocade box were those from the Northern Palace, so their testimony is hard to believe.
The brocade box containing the ghost grass powder was finally found in the tent of the Northern Prince's Mansion, and there was no way to defend it.
Jiang Rong made a prompt decision and said, "Jingzhe, take it out and burn it!"
"Yes!" Jingzhe took the brocade box out, treated it as firewood, and put it into the bonfire outside the tent.
Xie Ruojiao looked confused, "How could such a beautiful box be burned?"
"It's a little dirty." Jiang Rong looked at the brocade box burning in the fire with cold eyes.
Xie Ruojiao was confused. This box is quite clean, where is it dirty?
Just a moment.
There was a sudden noise in the camp.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Princess! Come quickly, come and save the princess!" the maid shouted in panic.
Jiang Rong looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Xie Ruojiao also put down the bear paw in her hand and asked in surprise, "Is this Princess Yongfu's tent? What happened?"
…
Princess Yongfu died.
After careful examination by the imperial physician, it was found that she died of ghost grass poison, and the fine wine given to her by the emperor actually contained ghost grass powder.
She died because of it.
The emperor was very angry.
Someone actually poisoned the reward he gave them, which was tantamount to killing his daughter through his hand.
How could he not be angry?
"Find it for me! Who murdered the princess?" The emperor's face was gloomy.
Chu Shouchen accepted the order and saluted. All the tents were sealed off and searched one by one.
During this kind of accompanying activity, everything everyone brings is carefully checked to ensure that no one is hiding sharp weapons or poisons, in case of any unexpected events.
But now poison has been mixed in!
This time, Mingxinsi checked very carefully, even if it was a piece of wood, they would split it in half to take a look...
When Feicui saw this scene, she was horrified.
Fortunately, the princess reacted quickly and threw the brocade box into the bonfire to burn it. Otherwise, if it was found out at this time, how could she prove her innocence?
Princess Anyang barely suppressed the excitement in her heart.
Anyone who dares to snatch a man from her will die!
Yongfu deserved to die!
And I can take Jiang Rong with me at the same time, which is really great.
She looked at the tent of the Northern Prince's Mansion expectantly, waiting for the show to begin.
but……
The captains finished their check in an orderly manner and then went to the next tent.
What's going on? Why haven't they arrested the people from the Northern Palace?
Soon, all the tents were screened and no traces of poisonous grass powder were found.
"Your Majesty, the murderer must have destroyed the evidence." Chu Shouchen bowed and reported, "I am incompetent and have not been able to find any clues."
The emperor's face became even uglier.
Princess Anyang couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you search carefully enough?"
