Chapter 525 Breaking the situation
Chen Liang died, killed by the poison of Lihuaxue.
However, there was no faint scent of pear blossoms emanating from his body.
The coroner said that he had also been poisoned by other chronic poisons.
In fact, he just doesn't like the scent of pear blossoms and the scent of gentleman.
The main ingredients of gentleman incense are agarwood, jasmine flowers, and fresh cypress leaves. The production process is relatively simple. First, the agarwood is ground into extremely small particles. Next, dried jasmine flowers and fresh cypress leaves are stacked into a round cake, with the cypress leaves on top and the jasmine flowers on the bottom. The cake is then tightly pressed together. The agarwood particles are then pressed into the jasmine flowers, creating a thin, portable incense cake.
He likes Galaxiang only because his sweetheart also likes Galaxiang.
The main ingredients of kiang incense are agarwood, sandalwood, kalanchoe, magnolia, cloves, camphor, and ambergris. First, wash and remove the dirt from the agarwood, dry it in the shade, and sprinkle it with ambergris solution three times. Then, dry it in the shade, roast it, and grind it into a fine powder. Next, grind the sandalwood, preferably the Indian sandalwood, into a fine powder. Use the male cloves of Caryophyllus caryophyllus, also into a fine powder. Next, mix the three incense powders according to the ratio that Yuwen Cheng determined after much research. Next, take dried magnolia and kalanchoe flowers, grind them, and mix them into the incense powder. Finally, take an appropriate amount of camphor, grind it into a fine powder, and mix it with the previously prepared incense powder. When using, wrap it in a gauze bag, tighten the air vent, and store it in a closet. Alternatively, wrap it in a sachet and decorate it with jade and hang it in a meditation room for meditation and chanting.
After all, Chen Liang was an envoy from Northern Jin.
His death caused quite a stir.
The first person to be suspected was Queen Du.
Du Zichun died from the pear blossom snow poison, and Chen Liang also died from the pear blossom snow poison, so Queen Du seemed to be clearing herself of suspicion. Moreover, as the mother of a country, it was not appropriate for her to poison the envoy of Northern Jin.
Therefore, Concubine Bai suggested that they should first depose Empress Du and then examine and approve Du, which would be a natural outcome.
Unfortunately, Emperor Zhao of Zhou hesitated.
Queen Du, no matter what the reason, poisoned Du Zichun and Chen Liang, but they were his first wife and had shared hardships with him. Now he deposed her so easily. How would the people of the world view Emperor Zhao of Zhou?
You must know that no matter how much Emperor Hui of Jin doted on Princess Rongyang, he never said a harsh word to Empress Dou, and he never even lost his temper with her.
He couldn't lose to Emperor Hui of Jin, at least not openly.
Therefore, the Lihuaxue serial poisoning case was handed over to the Dali Temple for secret handling.
Shen Nuo joined the Dali Temple, refused the official rank, and assisted in the trial.
When Concubine Bai heard this, she became very anxious.
She hinted to Zhao Lian'er to make a big fuss about the matter.
Anyone who beats the drum for reporting will be beaten with the stick forty times, and then must kneel for three days and three nights, which is thirty-six hours. Not even an hour less will be allowed.
Zhao Lian'er was frail and weak, so how could she bear it? She was just pretending.
The moment she saw Tie Yaozi, her legs and feet went weak and she fainted.
Concubine Bai was not discouraged and went to lobby Du Zichun's family and beat the drum to report the incident.
Those who are willing to pretend can do so.
Those who are willing to suffer further will suffer.
It would be even more perfect if you could persevere to the end.
Anyway, the drum for reporting would be sounded every day, making the entire Upper Capital question whether Emperor Zhao of Zhou was protecting Empress Du.
The case is at a stalemate.
There were even court officials who openly advised Emperor Zhao of Zhou to prioritize his offspring.
The implication is that Queen Du’s offspring are no longer important.
It was not until Shen Nuo found Chen Liang's handwritten blood letter that Zhao Lian'er was arrested and imprisoned.
