Chapter 425 Assassination
Eunuch Hong snorted and laughed again: "Don't you know that this is normal? My godfather has his own ways."
The eunuchs who have been in the palace for a long time and have some status are sometimes more informed than the ladies.
In the small kitchen of Kunning Palace, Xi Que was holding a Western magnifying mirror, staring with a pair of big eyes, looking for something around the stove.
Nanny Xiang was also very anxious beside him: "Did you find it? I'm not sure. I glanced at it at the time and thought I was seeing it wrong. If I can't find it, did someone take it away? I shouldn't be seeing it wrong. Oh... my brain..." There was
still a circle of fish soup stains on the stove that had not been cleaned up. Shuangjiang wiped it with a handkerchief and put it under her nose to smell it.
A cold fishy smell penetrated the nose, but if you savor it carefully, there seems to be a little bit of other smell.
No wonder the queen refused to drink after two sips, and even said that the people in the small kitchen were too happy and lost their usual level.
At that time, Xiang Ma didn't take it seriously, and even advised the queen to eat more fish to replenish her body.
Fortunately, the queen didn't listen to her, otherwise she would really die.
Most of the time has passed, and the sun hanging high in the sky is about to set, slowly tilting behind the small kitchen.
The magnifying glass of the magpie suddenly caught a spot of light, and following the spot of light upwards, there is a tall hole above the magnifying glass.
She took away the magnifying glass with an "ah" sound, and found that there was a tile missing from the roof.
Shuangjiang and Nanny Xiang also saw it.
"No wonder... no wonder... no wonder I didn't see anyone, it turns out that the poison dripped into the fish soup along the spider silk. I said I wasn't seeing things, I really saw the spider silk."
Nanny Xiang was favored by Empress Dowager Wu along with Nanny Li, and was sent to the emperor after being trained for many years to save his life. She was also secretly trained by the emperor for many years and sent to Jiang Xinyue to protect her and the prince. She must have some real skills.
Nanny Xiang made a fatal mistake to get caught this time.
She thought that the Queen Mother was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and that everyone in Kunning Palace was her own people, so no one would harm the Queen Mother.
She let her guard down and was too careless.
Xiao Xiangzi brought the stairs, and he and Jiangchuan climbed up to the roof, looking around the missing tile.
"Xiao Xiangzi, be more careful."
Xi Que was still holding the magnifying glass, standing in the yard and looking at the roof: "That person must have poisoned the empress from the roof, look carefully to see if there are any clues?"
"What is this?"
Jiangchuan picked up a green, uncovered porcelain bottle from the ground, as if someone had dropped it in a panic.
Xiao Xiangzi looked around the roof several times, making sure there was nothing that shouldn't be there, and then he and Jiangchuan climbed down together.
Frost snatched the bottle and smelled it: "It's the smell of fish soup! That's it!"
"Hurry up and give it to Doctor Yan..."
Darkness... Endless darkness...
Jiang Xinyue walked in the darkness, unable to tell the direction, nor the passage of time.
But there were anxious cries in my ears: "Yuer, Yueer, wake up."
"Mother... Mother, please don't leave Tuantuan, Tuantuan is good, Tuantuan is obedient."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"Tsk tsk tsk... How pitiful! She was in a car accident at such a young age. I heard that she was a psychologist in the best private aristocratic hospital in Beijing, with an annual salary of one million. It's such a pity that she died like this."
"It was so scary, the scene was so bloody. I heard that when her parents learned that she was in trouble, they didn't come to the morgue to confirm it at the first time, but went to Dongcheng Hospital to make trouble, asking the hospital to pay 80 million in compensation!"
"Will the hospital agree to it?"
"Aren't they going to court? That woman is her biological mother, but she remarried and gave birth to another son to this man. She's making such a fuss just to take advantage of the situation and give all the compensation to her own son!"
"What about her father?"
"Her father went abroad in his early years and never cared about her. He married a foreigner in France or England and settled down there!"
"Oh! She's so pitiful. I hope she can be reborn into a good family in her next life and live a happy life."
"Mother, Tuantuan, give candy, give candy to mother, father is crying... fourth brother is crying too, but Tuantuan won't cry... Tuantuan is waiting for mother to wake up." "Mother,
if mother sleeps in again, Tuantuan will ask the Grand Tutor to spank mother! It will hurt..."
"Wuwuwuwu... Mother... Tuantuan wants Mother... Wuwuwuwu... Tuantuan is scared..."
Tears rolled down the corners of the eyes of the stunningly beautiful woman lying on the bed, and disappeared into her hairline.
The crying of the child touched her, and she flicked her fingers. A huge desire to survive filled Jiang Xinyue's whole body.
She wanted to get up and hug her child, and tell him that Mother didn't abandon him, that he was not an unwanted child, and that Mother loved him the most.
Tuantuan... Tuantuan, don't cry, Mother's heart is broken.
"Click!"
There was a sound of someone falling from the beam.
Jiang Xinyue felt a murderous aura rushing towards her face from above, and the eyes that had been unable to open suddenly opened hard, staring at the man in black standing beside the bed.
As soon as the man raised the dagger in his hand, he was frightened by Jiang Xinyue who suddenly opened her eyes and almost fell off the bed.
In the time she was stunned, Jiang Xinyue quickly stood up and retreated to the corner, shouting: "Catch the assassin! Xi Que, come and catch the assassin!"
Her voice was high-pitched and sharp. The man in black was stunned at first, and then raised the knife again and rushed towards Jiang Xinyue.
"Bang!"
A date knocked her dagger off. Jiang Xinyue turned over and snatched the dagger, and ran away.
"Yuer!"
The emperor kicked away the stool in front of him, caught Jiang Xinyue who was running towards him, and held her steadily in his arms. The joy and fear of regaining what he had lost made his hands tremble.
His tense nerves relaxed, and his legs became a little weak. He leaned on the table and kept comforting the woman in his arms: "It's okay... It's okay... Don't be afraid, I'm always here."
Meng Qingyu directly broke the two arms of the man in black and kicked her in the knees, forcing her to kneel down.
Xi Que rushed over and pulled off her veil: "Nanny Yun! Why are you here? Who sent you?"
Nanny Yun's chest heaved violently. When the truth was revealed, a trace of fear appeared on her face.
On the contrary, Jiang Xinyue's face did not show any fear. She tilted her head slightly on Emperor Xuanwu's shoulder, conveying the message in her eyes to Xi Que and Shuangjiang.
Shuangjiang pulled Xi Que to kneel down: "Your Majesty, Xi Que and I found spider silk soaked in poison in the small kitchen, and the tiles on the roof were also uncovered. Nanny Yun is very skilled, so she must have climbed onto the roof to poison the queen."
