Chapter 442: Where the Poison is Hidden



When Nanny Wang heard that the Queen Mother was poisoned, she was extremely anxious and hurried over to ask, "Jun, do you know how the Queen Mother was poisoned?"

She looked around. The layout of the hall was very simple. Her sense of smell was very sharp, but she did not smell any strange smell.

"Is there anywhere else Grandma usually goes?"

"The Queen Mother lives in seclusion and rarely goes out. On weekdays, she goes to the Buddhist temple to chant Buddhist scriptures except here. Apart from this, she has no other place to go."

Buddhist temple?

"If someone wants to poison someone, they shouldn't start in the Buddhist temple. That's where the Bodhisattva lives. Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?" Nanny Wang whispered, "I think the poison should be placed somewhere else. Let me think about it."

"God's punishment." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "When you commit a crime, you don't care about God's punishment. You disregard his life. Even if you are not in front of the Buddha, you will be punished by God." She whispered, "Take me to the temple."

Shang Ruoyi followed Nanny Wang to the Buddhist hall at the back. The room was not big and housed a statue of Bodhisattva.

There were several candles burning in the room at this time.

Shang Ruoyi pushed the door open, walked in, came to the Bodhisattva, bowed a few times, and said softly: "Sorry for disturbing you, disciple."

She didn't care about gods and Buddhas before. After all, she was taught atheism in her previous life, and she only regarded those strange and supernatural things as weird talk and listened to them. But after she traveled here and took on the power of space, she felt that there must be some things in this world that were beyond her control.

She walked around the room, which was filled with the scent of sandalwood, and it seemed that nothing was wrong.

Am I being too suspicious?

She stood in front of the Bodhisattva for a while, and just as she turned to leave, a faint fragrance wafted into her nose.

Shang Ruoyi paused.

wrong!

The fragrance of 놆Bauhinia 놅!

Her eyes fell on the candles in front of the Buddha statue.

The fragrance of Bauhinia flowers emanates from here.

"Where did this candle come from?"

"Replying to the young county magistrate, these candles were sent directly from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Nanny Wang frowned and asked, "But is there anything wrong with it?"

"Is there anything left to light?"

"Yes." Nanny Wang took out a few unlit cigarettes from the cabinet next to her and handed them to Shang Ruoyi.

She put the roots under her nose and smelled them, then broke them in half, exposing the powdered Bauhinia seeds hidden inside to the air.

A faint fragrance enters the nose.

That's it!

Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered, "Found it."

When Shang Ruoyi placed these things in front of the Queen Mother, she frowned and whispered, "Is the poison hidden here?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "The person who poisoned you knew that you would go to the temple to chant sutras every day, so he mixed the poison here. This way, a small amount of toxins will enter your body every day and accumulate in your body. It won't be fatal, but your organs will gradually fail, just like natural aging."

This shows how meticulous the poisoner's mind was.

Nanny Wang's face turned pale. She knelt on the ground and trembled as she said, "I am guilty! I failed to discover such a serious matter and almost caused you to get into trouble. Please punish me, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother waved her hands and said, "You are not wrong. You don't know medicine, so you can't find it yourself."

Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly. In the palace, the only person who knew medicine and poison was the queen.

But considering the Queen's flamboyant personality, she would not do such a thing.

Who is it?

"Who is responsible for purchasing in the palace? Who is responsible for delivering these things to the various palaces?"

"All matters in the palace were previously handled by the Queen, but now it is Concubine Cui."

And Concubine Cui.
