    Chapter 224 Another Trap

    The three imperial doctors knelt there, and there were also four palace maids who were taking care of Ling Zian, and their servants.

    There was also a corpse on the ground, the wife of the prince's wife. Seeing the prince's accident, she hit the wall and committed suicide.

    Inside Fang Palace, Wen Heng kept slapping the door: "Let me out, how is my child? How is it?"

    Ling Chen trembled and stepped forward, he picked up the little man. He lay softly on top of him, still warm.

    "Who did it!" Ling Chen asked in a trembling voice.

    Qingyun covered his mouth and stepped forward silently. Ling Zian's symptoms seemed to be poisoned.

    King Rui, Huo Jingyun, and Bai Shaoting rushed over.

    The palace maid, Huixiang, who was taking care of the prince, cried and said, "I passed by here today, and the little prince heard the sound of birds chirping in Fang Palace. Today, the little prince seems to have picked jujubes from the ground to eat..."

    The guards at the entrance of Fang Palace fell to their knees. When they saw the little prince coming, they thought it was a child. They didn't stop him at all. He saw the little prince eating a jujube. now...

    "The Imperial Physician!" Ling Chen called out.

    The imperial doctor's head slammed on the ground: "Your Majesty, when the humble post came over, the little prince was already, already..."

    Qing Yun walked over and knelt down beside Ling Chen. She opened the eyes of the little prince to take a look and gave him a pulse.

    The little prince has lost his breath.

    Qingyun slumped to the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, the little prince has really..."

    Ling Chen's body trembled for a moment, and he almost fell, Qingyun supported him. Qing Yun's brain just now seemed to be blown open, who would be so cruel to kill the prince.

    In Ling Chen's palace, there were not many concubines, who would kill the little prince?

    Qingyun picked up the little prince's hand and looked at it. In the child's hand, he was holding half a green and red fresh jujube.

    She motioned to Ling Chen, Ling Chen picked up the jujube, looked at it, his face was pale, he gritted his teeth and said slowly: "King Rui, Bai Shaoting, thoroughly investigate, thoroughly investigate!" Ling Chen's eyes turned red.

    Wen Heng's voice was hoarse.

    Ling Chen put down the little prince's body and said to Gu Fan, "Let her come out and take a look, and let him do the autopsy."

    Ling Chen turned his face away.

    Someone opened the door of Fang Palace, and Wen Heng stumbled out. Qingyun looked at her in gray clothes, her hair was disheveled, her face was waxy white, and her eyes were swollen.

    She picked up Ling Zian on the ground, "An'er, are you really dead? How is that possible? Why?"

    The son was carried outside as soon as he was born, and she never saw him again. A few days ago, he followed everyone to the woods behind to pick dates, and she saw him through the crack of the door.

    Now, he is dead, he really died like that.

    "Your Majesty, who is so cruel to kill this poor child!" Wen Heng knelt beside Ling Chen's legs.

    "Don't worry, I will definitely find out." Ling Chen didn't look back.

    Qing Yun had just dipped a little blood from the corner of Ling Zian's mouth and smelled it. This poison is the most common ground arsenic.

    Who would dare to poison the prince so blatantly, it seems that there will be another round of blood and blood in this palace.

    All the servants and palace maids who came into contact with the little prince were taken away.

    Wu Zuo tested the jujubes left in the little prince's hands, and there really was arsenic in the jujubes.

    King Rui and Bai Shaoting interrogated overnight for two days.

    Huixiang said that she saw the little prince picking up the jujube on the ground and eating it. She found that she wanted to take it, but the prince had already swallowed.

    Huixiang said that the little prince ran over after hearing the chirping of birds in Fang Palace. Wen Heng admitted that there was really a bird in her yard, and she caught it. The bird fell into the yard and was caught by her.

    The question now is whether someone gave the little prince a poisonous jujube, or someone threw a poisonous jujube on the ground for the little prince to pick up?

    If someone gave it, it must have been those palace maids or servants who had contact with the little prince. If it was picked up, it is not ruled out that the guards may also be possible. The guards can still give it to him while everyone is not paying attention.

    If someone put it there on purpose, it must be more than one date. Bai Shaoting sent someone to search in front of Fang Palace, and sure enough, three jujubes were found, but these three jujubes, two contained arsenic, and one contained smoked medicine. Smoked medicine is a kind of chronic poison. People are paralyzed and comatose, but not fatal.

    Why do some dates contain fumigants, while others contain arsenic?

    Bai Shaoting deduced that it was two groups of people who were poisoning.

    Another round of interrogation.

    Later, a girl named Shuangfeng said that she had seen someone walking past the entrance of Fang Palace half an hour ago. She only saw the back, the clothes, not the palace maid.

    During the time when the little prince had an accident, the other concubines and concubines enjoyed the chrysanthemum and the garden together with the emperor. There is only one person, and no one knows where she went, that is Qingyun.

    King Rui called Qingyun and Xiaojing to ask questions together.

    When Qingyun entered the door, he saw Bai Shaoting frowning and staring at her thoughtfully.

    King Rui asked: "Princess Qingyun, this king has a routine business, and everyone has to ask. When the little prince happened, where were you? What are you doing?"

    Qingyun said: "I have been sleeping in my room in the morning, having lunch, and when I just went out, I met the emperor and the others to enjoy flowers."

    "Does anyone know?" Bai Shaoting asked.

    "Only Xiaojing knows that I am disgusting with the others, so I let them go back to my room." Qingyun replied.

    Bai Shaoting said: "Xiaojing is your personal girl. Her testimony can only be used for reference, not as evidence."

    Qingyun remembered that Concubine Qing went to Shufang Palace to find her, but she was sleeping and did not see Concubine Qing, and asked Xiaojing to tell her that she had gone out.

    Qingyun told King Rui and Bai Shaoting about this.

    Qingyun felt a little uneasy, as if this was a set for her. However, she thought, she has experienced so much, and she will not panic anymore. Soldiers will block the water and cover up.

    After Qingyun answered their questions, when he left the room, King Rui asked Shuangfeng who was standing at the back: "You don't look like her in the back image?"

    Shuangfeng said: "It's really similar, that's it."

    King Rui and Bai Shaoting looked at each other.

    Another day later, during the third round of interrogation, Qingyun was called over again.

    This time, the person sitting on the main table was Ling Chen. Qingyun looked at him with deep eyes, his face was cold, and he could faintly see the blue stubble on his face.

    Bai Shaoting went straight to the point: "Princess, someone found out that the little prince was killed half an hour ago, you have been in front of Fang Palace, may I ask, what did the princess do in Fang Palace?"

    Qingyun understood immediately that someone was really digging a hole for her.

    Qingyun said: "I said that I didn't go anywhere that day, and I slept in the morning. I was afraid that someone would disturb me, so I told Xiaojing that if anyone came looking for me, say I went out."

    Rui Wang said: "Why does the princess sleep all morning? Is it sick?"

    Qingyun said: "No, I just feel boring, I don't want to do anything, I'm just in a bad mood."

    Rui Wang said: "Who else can prove that the princess is really sleeping all the time? Now the concubine Qing has indeed said that she is looking for you, and your girl said that you are not there."

    Qingyun said: "I don't know who can prove it. I have basically no contact with the little prince, and I didn't know he would go to Fang Palace to play."

    Ling Chen said: "You also like to make incense and poison? You also understand pharmacology? I thought you were just for fun."

    Qing Yun looked at Ling Chen: "Your Majesty, you should know if I will harm the little prince."
