Chapter 445: Suicide by taking poison

"What, dead? Suicide by taking poison?"

Xu Muhua was shocked to hear Liang Ming's words.

"Yes, Miss, this news was passed on by the young master of the Feng family. It is said that when the jailer went in to deliver food this morning, he found that the Huang and his wife were both dead. There was black blood at the corners of their mouths. It looked like they had committed suicide by taking poison."

"But they have been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Where did they get the poison?"

And when she went to the prison two days ago, she didn't think that the couple looked like people who would commit suicide.

At that time, their will to survive was still very strong.

Liang Ming didn't know this either. He shook his head, remembered something and said, "But Master Feng also mentioned another thing. He said that not long after we left that day, Princess Kang was also sent to prison."

When Xu Muhua heard the three words "Princess Kang" and thought about it, he felt that he had probably guessed the reason why the couple committed suicide.

She smiled, "Whether it was suicide or poison, it's hard to say."

Liang Ming said in astonishment, "Miss, you mean they didn't commit suicide by taking poison, but were poisoned to death? Was it Princess Kang?"

Then he was puzzled again, "But why? Aren't Princess Kang and Cui sisters? I heard that the two sisters have always had a good relationship. And they were going to be executed soon, so there was no need for Princess Kang to poison them at this time, right?"

Isn't it unnecessary?

Xu Muhua said mysteriously, "Maybe they knew some secret, and someone was afraid that they would tell the secret and expose themselves, so they killed someone to silence them."

It was probably that Princess Kang went to the prison, and then the couple threatened Princess Kang with the fact that she had had an affair with someone.

Either they threatened her to find a way to rescue them or to spare their lives. Or they threatened Princess Kang to do other things, most likely to save a bloodline of the Huang Mansion.

Xu Muhua felt that the latter was more likely.

As for Princess Kang, she was still worried that the couple would regret before they died and bite her out, so she simply went all out and poisoned them to death.

If this is true, Princess Kang is really a cruel woman!

If the couple threatened her to save the last bloodline of the Huang Mansion, it would be impossible for them to bite Princess Kang before they died. After all, Princess Kang is their only hope now. If something happens to Princess Kang, their last hope will be gone. Princess

Kang herself must understand this truth, but she still did it.

Tsk tsk tsk! She is worthy of being the one who smashed her own son to death.

Liang Ming was even more puzzled, "But won't this arouse other people's suspicion and attention? Just like the eldest lady said, they have been locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, where did the poison come from?"

Xu Muhua's eyes turned, "You should know soon."

Liang Ming had more question marks in his mind.

The eldest lady seemed to have said something, but it seemed that she said nothing!

Xu Muhua said that we would know soon, and it was indeed very soon.

The news came in the afternoon.

It said that Princess Kang went to the palace to plead guilty. Princess

Kang admitted that she brought the poison to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and handed it to her sister and brother-in-law. Because she really couldn't bear to watch them being beheaded in public. She was willing to take all the responsibilities and asked the emperor to punish her.

The emperor was naturally furious, but what could he do? Could he also put Concubine Kang in jail, or strip her of her title of princess? If that were the case, Princess Qingning would be the only one left in the Kang Mansion!

Not to mention that Princess Qingning also entered the palace upon hearing the news, knelt in front of the hall, and shouted that she could take the blame for her mother, and asked the emperor to punish her and show mercy.

In the end, the empress came to persuade him, and the emperor went down the ladder, punished her politely, and then let the matter go.

Even if some ministers had opinions, what could they do? Concubine Kang was just a woman, and the Kang Mansion had no other heirs except Princess Qingning. It was already done, and Prince Kang died to save His Majesty. Now could Concubine Kang pay the price for several people who were going to die anyway?

Princess Kang knew this, so she took the initiative to go to the palace to apologize.

Instead of waiting to be investigated, it is better to take the initiative to admit it and bring up family ties, so that no one will doubt her intention of sending poison in.

After hearing about this, Xu Muhua laughed, "Princess Kang is really smart."

Just such an act of apology completely exonerated herself.

Xu's mother also sighed, "That's right. I didn't expect that Princess Kang usually looks weak and harmless, but in fact..."

She shook her head.

Although she said that she didn't want her sister's family to die so tragically, they were her closest relatives after all. How did she send the poison in? Isn't this equivalent to killing her sister's family?

Xu's mother only knew one side of the story, and she really thought that Princess Kang couldn't bear to watch her sister's family being beheaded, so she sent the poison in even though she knew it was wrong.

Xu Muhua didn't tell her the truth, and said, "She and Princess Qingning are the only ones left in the Kang Palace. For so many years, Princess Kang has been like a fish in water in the capital, and there is nothing she can't do." If

it were someone else, they would just keep a low profile, and the mother and daughter would live a good life behind closed doors. But Princess Kang was too high-profile, not to mention Princess Qingning, who was even more arrogant than the princess.

"No one in the royal family is simple."

Xu's mother said, and she couldn't help but think of her daughter's marriage, and worries surged in her heart again.

Xu Muhua knew this, but she had already advised them, and it was obviously useless. The only way to speak with facts in the future.

"By the way, mother, when I get married, will father and elder brother be able to come back?"

Mother Xu was delighted when this was mentioned. "Your father said that if there is no accident, he and your elder brother will come back in time. He has already reported it to the emperor, and the emperor has approved it. Although there is not much time, at least they can come back to participate."

That is to say, the border is peaceful now and there is nothing to do, otherwise they would not be able to leave.

Xu Muhua also showed a happy smile, "That's good, I was worried that father and elder brother would not be able to come back!"

"Muhua, you can't run around casually from now on, you must stay in the house and prepare for the wedding."

"Mom, why are you in such a hurry? There is still plenty of time!"

Xu's mother glared at her, "Time flies by in the blink of an eye, how can you have so much money? You should be more careful! And don't mix in your mahjong parlor in the future!"

Once she entered the East Palace and let people know that she also had a share, who knows what people would say.

People in the capital are so jealous, they make so much money, and they all want a piece of the pie.

But on the surface, everyone thinks that it was done by the young masters of the Feng Mansion, and with the pressure from the chief minister, no one dared to do anything. But if people
