Chapter 1216 Dragon Robe

Zhulan returned to the main courtyard. Mrs. Song had already gone to check the maid's room. After waiting for half an hour, Mrs. Song came back.

Mrs. Song not only returned herself, but also brought back an arrow and a purse.

Zhulan saw the arrow but didn't reach out to take it. Who knows if something from outside is poisonous? "Did you find it in the girl's room?"

Mrs. Song nodded, "Yes, the arrow sent the message, and there is medicine in the purse."

Bamboo orchid, "."

It doesn't sound like a good medicine.

Mrs. Song was also very scared. "The maid that Qingxue interrogated has already confessed that she was bought in the Marquis' Mansion and has been passing on information. Because the mistress sent people to watch the servants in the Marquis' Mansion and they were not allowed to pass on information, someone broke into the mansion last night to deliver the information."

Zhulan narrowed her eyes, "So I didn't climb over the wall, I walked on the roof instead."

Affirmative sentence, if you climb over the wall, sorry, there are traps under the corners of the wall, and the traps are full of iron arrows. Iron is difficult for ordinary people to get, but the Zhou family reported it and still got a batch of it. Zhulan gave it to Shenxing to make traps. If you fall into the trap, you are lucky enough to survive, but if you are unlucky, you will die on the spot.

Mrs. Song, "Yes, Shenxing found footprints on the roof."

Zhulan was unhappy. In the whole mansion, the main courtyard was the safest. Qingxue and others were all masters. The other courtyards were not like that, especially some guest courtyards, so people could sneak in.

Zhulan, "It seems that there are not enough traps."

Especially the roof, it should be oiled, if it is winter, it will be all covered with ice.

Mrs. Song blinked her eyes. She felt that the mistress was very persistent in setting the trap. She continued, "The medicine sent here must be put into the well water."

Zhulan asked, "What kind of poison is this?"

Mrs. Song, "It's just an ordinary poison. The only advantage is that it's a bit more toxic."

Zhulan took a deep breath. This was going to wipe out the Zhou family. "Did she tell me when to give the drug?"

This is the most important thing. We can't just destroy the Zhou family alone, as that would attract too much attention. So it must be the Zhang family that made a big move and then drugged them all together.

Mrs. Song, "She said she didn't tell her."

Zhulan didn't believe it and didn't explain. Then she thought that the other party must not have expected that she would have such strict control over the mansion, and that they would immediately lock on the target and catch the little girl. Thinking of this, Zhulan was proud. She was so foresighted that she sent people to keep an eye on these maids and old women long ago.

Zhu Lan said, "I don't believe what this little girl said. Send someone to carefully check the water and food in the mansion to ensure safety."

Mrs. Song: "Yes."

Zhulan called Qingxue again, "Take someone to send this little girl away. I believe you understand."

Qingxue understood it, she understood it too well. She had already sent the message out. In fact, even if the mistress didn't let her send her away, someone would come to pick her up soon.

Inside the palace, the crown prince learned the news about the Zhou residence and said to his father, "I completely believe it. The Zhou family is really the nemesis of the Zhang family."

The emperor nodded and said, "Go back to the Prince's Mansion and check the servants carefully."

The poison would not affect only one family, but the Prince's Mansion and several other sons. These are the key points. If the Zhang family did not hate Zhou Shuren so much, there would be no poison in Zhou Shuren's mansion.

The prince said, "Yes, my son will check it carefully."

Not to mention that the poison was discovered in the Zhou Mansion, even if it was not discovered, he had already been cautious to prevent poisoning in the Prince's Mansion.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren returned home. Zhulan first said, "I told Yao Yao that the person in the prison was a fake Rong Enqing."

Zhou Shuren, "It's okay. It's understandable that you told me."

Zhulan, "And then there's the matter of finding the poison."

Zhou Shuren said coldly, "The Zhang family sent poison to our house because they were afraid that it would fail and kill our family, so they wanted to take it away all at once!"

Zhulan thought the same thing, "You have filled the Zhang family with hatred."

He must hate the Zhou family so much that he wants to find ways to kill everyone in the Zhou family. He is not even willing to wait for success, for he is deeply afraid that failure will allow the Zhou family to live well.

Zhou Shuren, "."

He really didn't mean to attract hatred, but he still encountered it.

Zhulan continued, "You should also be careful in the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhou Shuren, "Don't worry, I will be careful."

Zhulan sighed, "These days of fear will soon be over."

"Almost."

As the troops were transferred out of the capital, the discussion against the prince became more and more intense, and more people started to wear dragon robes. The prince had already hurriedly made a dragon robe and prepared to succeed to the throne.

The King of Chu approached the King of Qi and asked, "Brother, do you think the dragon robe is true?"

King Qi glanced at him and asked, "Why, you haven't let it go yet?"

The King of Chu remained silent. He thought he could face it calmly. However, when he heard the rumors, he was not calm at all. "I just feel a little uncomfortable."

After hearing the rumor, he did not think it was false. Even if it was a trap, there was no need to use the dragon robe. It could only be said that making the dragon robe was real and it was his father's idea. This also meant that his father was preparing to enter meditation.

The King of Chu felt sad whenever he thought about it. How could he not feel sad? His father was so good to the prince that he could even achieve Zen. Compared with other princes in history, he, the eldest brother, was so lucky.

The King of Qi understood the King of Chu's feelings, "Now that things have come to this, it's better to look at things in a more positive way."

If you can't let go, you will be the one who suffers.

The King of Chu asked, "Where has my second brother been recently?"

The King of Qi waved his fan and said, "I'm on duty."

King of Chu, "."

There is no difference between this and not saying anything. He feels even more jealous. There is a gap between his sons. He cannot compare with the crown prince, and now even his second brother cannot compare with him. When he thinks about the busy fourth brother, he is the one with the most free time.

The King of Chu looked at his second brother with an accusing look, saying that they had agreed to have fun together, but his second brother went on a mission secretly!

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren also heard people talking about the dragon robe. He was calm. Once the Zhang family was dealt with, the prince would succeed to the throne. The dragon robe was not easy to make. According to the time calculation, it would be autumn.

Qiu Yan, "Do you think the emperor will never wake up?"

Zhou Shuren felt that Qiu Yan really trusted him. "Aren't you afraid that I will sell you out? You can tell me anything."

Qiu Yan smiled, "Master Zhou won't."

Having worked together for so many years, he still knows clearly what kind of person Mr. Zhou is, and Mr. Zhou's principles make him feel particularly at ease.

Zhou Shuren's smile deepened. "You ask me, how would I know?"

Qiu Yan sighed, "No news has come out from the Imperial Hospital."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes. "How dare the Imperial Hospital interfere when this concerns the Emperor?"

Qiu Yan felt upset. The emperor was such a wise monarch, but his life had to end like this. Thinking of the dragon robe, Qiu Yan closed his mouth. This could not be discussed.

Zhou Shuren looked at the tea set on the table and touched the teacup with his fingers.

When he was about to leave the government office, the Ministry of Revenue received news that they would prepare for a grand court session in three days. This news was quite sudden.

It's hard not to think too much when the emperor attended the grand court meeting when he wasn't awake yet and there was no news.
