Chapter 84 Another death

"Mmmm"

Zhou Lianlian looked flustered, and felt An Yunxi's hand pause slightly, and then took out a purse from her waist.

After opening the purse and smelling it, An Yunxi raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Why are you so nervous? I won't do anything to you."

Zhou Lianlian's eyes were extremely terrified, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

This was obviously the first time she had done such a thing, and she felt very guilty.

An Yunxi poured out the contents of the purse, then carefully checked it, and then saw a porcelain bottle the size of a fingernail.

"What's in here?"

An Yunxi pulled off the cloth that was blocking Zhou Lianlian's mouth, and then brought the porcelain bottle closer. Zhou Lianlian dodged almost subconsciously.

"It's a fragrant pill!"

An Yunxi didn't smell any fragrance.

She smiled and continued to ask: "Is it poisonous?"

Zhou Lianlian shook her head quickly: "No, absolutely not, why would I carry poison with me?"

An Yunxi raised the corners of her lips, her eyes gradually became cold, she opened the lid of the medicine bottle without any pause, and then poured the contents into Zhou Lianlian's mouth.

Zhou Lianlian twisted her body desperately, as if she was choked by her own saliva, and kept coughing: "Cough cough cough"

The fear on her face did not seem fake. After catching her breath, she shouted loudly: "It's poisonous, this thing is poisonous, save me, help me find a doctor!"

An Yunxi sighed.

Originally, there was no plan to attack her, and she wanted her to be a witness.

But Zhou Lianlian actually had the courage to hurt Ling Fengxun!

An Yunxi grabbed Zhou Lianlian's neck.

"Who gave you this thing? Do you want to poison the prince?"

If Zhou Lianlian hadn't behaved abnormally and touched the purse on her waist with her fingers from time to time, An Yunxi would not have suspected anything.

Fortunately, Zhou Lianlian was just a girl raised in the inner house. She was a little smart, but she was not so calm when faced with big things.

It was hidden so carefully, and it was obvious that the bottle was not filled with good stuff.

Zhou Lianlian's face turned red with pain, and her nose and tears flowed out. Her hair that was plucked out before had not grown back yet, and she looked very funny now.

"It was given by a big shot in the palace. I don't know anything else. Save me,"

she said while crying.

An Yunxi suddenly felt her body twitching a few times and began to roll her eyes.

She quickly let go of her hand and stepped back, and saw Zhou Lianlian curled up in extreme pain, covering her neck, and then struggled on the ground with all her limbs, and then she stopped moving.

Chunyue bravely went over to take a look, and turned to report to An Yunxi.

"Princess, she is dead. The bottle is filled with poison."

An Yunxi stared at Zhou Lianlian's body in front of her, "Find someone to perform an autopsy to see what kind of poison it is."

"Yes."

Chunyue immediately arranged it. After all, Zhou Lianlian was the daughter of the Zhou family. She died, and she had to notify them to come and claim the body.

An Yunxi glanced at the mess in the courtyard and the corpse. The corners of her mouth twitched. She didn't expect that she would find out such a thing just by coming over to take a look.

About an hour later, the examiner arrived, and the Zhou family also arrived at the gate of the palace in a carriage.

A figure walked down from the shabby-looking carriage. It was a middle-aged man with a beard who looked to be in his forties. He came to the gate wearing only a simple official uniform.

"Where is my daughter? Is my daughter inside?"

The gatekeeper asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Zhou Cheng, my daughter was given to the prince by the emperor not long ago, and she has not returned yet. Someone just informed me that my daughter had an accident in the palace!"

The guard had already known the news and immediately made way.

"Master Zhou, please come in."

Zhou Cheng immediately hurriedly followed the two guards inside.

His figure was hunched, and his back looked extremely pitiful.

He was like a good father who was worried about the safety of his daughter.

As soon as they entered, many people gathered outside the gate of the palace.

Those ordinary-looking common people gathered from all directions and all stood not far from the gate of the palace.

Their whispers could be faintly heard.

"I heard that Lord Zhou's daughter was abducted by the Regent King before, but something happened just a few days later." "

The Regent King is really cruel. Such a good girl ended up in such a miserable way not long after being handed over to him. Lord Zhou, such a good man, must be very sad!"

"He only has such an only daughter!"

More and more people gathered here.

Another carriage also stopped at the gate of the palace. All the people who were watching the excitement retreated. After seeing the person getting off the carriage, someone whispered, "Don't talk, it's the Regent!"

Ling Fengxun had just returned from the court after handling chores.

As a result, he saw that the gate of his own palace was surrounded by people.

His eyes turned cold, realizing that something might have happened in the palace.

"Enter the palace!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The carriage went directly into the palace. The gate was closed tightly, blocking the prying eyes outside.

An Yunxi was sitting next to the stone pier in the yard waiting.

The body had been covered with a white cloth. After the coroner examined the body, he immediately stood up and saluted An Yunxi.

"Princess, she was poisoned by a deadly poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood. This drug is quite common and not precious."

An Yunxi lowered her eyes and pondered the cause and effect.

The big shot in the palace ordered Zhou Lianlian to poison Ling Fengxun, and to act as quickly as possible, so that Zhou Lianlian was clumsy and exposed in advance, and was poisoned to death on the spot!

An Yunxi's eyes suddenly widened, and her voice was a little more surprised.

"Oh no!"

She was led away by someone.

Chunyue saw An Yunxi's expression change, and hurriedly asked: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

An Yunxi raised the corners of her lips and sneered.

She said in a rather helpless tone: "We may have followed the idea too much, so we fell into the trap!"

"Fell into the trap?"

Chunyue was puzzled.

From beginning to end, she didn't think there was anything wrong with An Yunxi's handling.

Zhou Lianlian dared to poison the prince, even if she had ten lives, it would not be too much!

Moreover, she had brought it upon herself, being poisoned by the poison she brought in.

An Yunxi did not explain, but asked: "Has Zhou Yushi come?"

"Yes, he is waiting outside the yard. You can come in with a word."

An Yunxi pursed her lips, her expression tense.

She looked around and glanced at the servants of the palace who were guarding around.

"I want you to act out a play with me today, and cry for me. Whoever cries the best will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"
