Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 246 Doubt

The silver needle is black and poisonous.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes changed slightly, then she calmed down and tried other dishes, but the other meals were fine.

"Ah Heng, the person who poisoned me is quite clever."

Murong Heng may not be able to eat other dishes.

But Shen Ruoxi bought the beggar's chicken, and Murong Heng would definitely let down his guard and try it.

The other party just happened to bet on this beggar's chicken.

If she hadn't stopped him just now, Murong Heng would have indeed eaten it.

Shen Ruoxi put away the silver needle, her thoughts a little confused.

When was this poison administered?

Was she being targeted when she was buying beggar's chicken, or was she accidentally picked on at some point on the road?

Or... they were poisoned during the time they went to the hot spring.

Murong Heng's face had no expression, but his eyes suddenly turned cold.

he asked.

"Did this beggar chicken ever leave your hands along the way?"

"Never."

"Then there's a high probability that someone poisoned her while we were away."

Murong Heng placed the chopsticks in his hand heavily on the table, his eyes filled with storm.

Most of the people who can come to the palace are palace servants who can serve closely. In other words, they always have the other party's ears and eyes by their side.

He changed the palace people one after another, but the other party still took advantage of him.

Murong Heng rubbed his fingers gently, his eyes thoughtful.

Shen Ruoxi asked.

"Aheng, do you want to be interrogated?"

Murong Heng was silent for a moment, then walked to the door and opened the palace door.

Hearing the sound, Leng Ye, who was waiting outside, immediately turned around.

"master."

"Has anyone been in the palace while the Crown Princess and I were away?"

Hearing this, Leng Ye thought for a while and then said: "When His Highness and his subordinates were guarding here, the two maids of the Crown Princess went in to sort it out, but the subordinates left for a period of time. If anyone came, just I don’t know anymore.”

Murong Heng's sharp eyes glanced at him.

"Let Wei Tingshan come over."

"Yes."

The cold night went down, and not long after, Wei Tingshan hurried over.

"Your Highness, what do you want from this old slave?"

"The people who just laid out the dishes, and the few servants who have been in and out of Gu's palace, ask them to come over."

"My slave will go immediately."

Wei Tingshan immediately gave the order, and soon several palace officials came over.

In addition to Bizhu Hongxiu, there are also two palace maids who often come to serve.

Wei Tingshan saw something was wrong.

"Your Highness, did they do something wrong?"

"Were they the ones serving the dishes just now?"

Hearing this, Wei Tingshan said: "Just now it was the dishes of Cai Die and Caifeng cloth. The bedding and charcoal fire of the prince and princess were made by Hong Xiu and Bizhu."

Murong Heng nodded and then said.

"It's so cold, you guys have worked hard."

His sudden words made several people confused.

Bizhu said boldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken harshly. This is what slaves and maids should do."

Murong Heng glanced at her, and then suddenly brought the beggar's chicken over.

"This is just for you, eat it."

Several people's expressions changed slightly and they looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

Wei Tingshan said sharply.

"Didn't you hear what His Highness said? You still don't thank me!"

Several people immediately knelt down to thank Murong Heng, and then took the beggar's chicken.

Murong Heng said: "Just eat here."

The four of them took the beggar's chicken and didn't do anything for a moment. Murong Heng's indifferent gaze made them sweat. They were not stupid and they all realized that something was wrong.

In the end, Hong Xiu was the first to tear off a piece and stuff it into his mouth.

Seeing this, the other three people slowly started to tear off a small piece each and started eating.

Soon, half of a chicken was eaten.

Shen Ruoxi interrupted several people's movements.

"This beggar's chicken is already a little cold, so don't eat it."

Although it is said that Jiuye will not have any big effects if he takes a small amount, it is poison after all. Some of them must be innocent, and there is no need to bear the risk.

Murong Heng also nodded slightly.

"Put it down and get out."

Several people quickly put down the beggar's chicken, and then walked out with fearful expressions.

After the others retreated, Wei Tingshan looked at Murong Heng hesitantly, with a cautious expression.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong? Is there something fishy among them..."

"No, maybe Gu is too suspicious."

Murong Heng spoke calmly, then waved slightly.

"You should go down first."

Wei Tingshan slowly retreated.

Murong Heng closed the palace door again.

Shen Ruoxi looked concerned: "Aheng, did you see anything?"

"No."

Murong Heng's narrow eyes suddenly showed a cold look.

The incident just now was probably just for testing, but there were no major problems with the reactions of several people.

Otherwise they are all innocent.

Otherwise, the other party's psychology was too strong and he hid everything from him.

Shen Ruoxi was a little puzzled: "Why not tell Eunuch Wei the truth and let him check the palace people in the inner palace?"

Murong Heng raised his eyes.

"Because he is also suspected."

Shen Ruoxi was stunned.

Then I heard Murong Heng say.

"It's not just him, there are others."

He looked outside the palace: "Leng Ye has been guarding here, and there are opportunities to poison, including when you came back, Leng Shuang and Tao Ye have been following you, and when you are not paying attention, they also have the opportunity to poison, There is also Xiao Yuzi, he is always by my side, except you, everyone in the East Palace is suspected."

Shen Ruoxi was a little frightened.

She was silent for a while: "They shouldn't..."

"There's nothing I can't do. I've changed palace people one after another. However, today the other party still has the opportunity to poison my meal. That only shows that... this person is not an ordinary palace person."

Murong Heng's voice was calm and calm, but it caused a storm in Shen Ruoxi's heart.

The people Murong Chen was referring to were the people she trusted and closest to her most at present, and she did not want to doubt any of them.

Murong Heng walked to the table again, picked up the cup, and stared slightly.

"Of course, I'm just guessing. After all, other palace people who have the opportunity to come into contact with the inner palace are more suspicious than them."

Shen Ruoxi picked up the chopsticks silently, but she had no appetite.

She knew that Murong Heng's words were meant to comfort her.

Since he said this, he must have doubts about the candidate.

"Murong Yu's case is about to be closed."

Murong Heng noticed that Shen Ruoxi was a little uneasy, so he diverted her attention.

Shen Ruoxi raised her eyes slightly: "Is the case closed?"

"Well, it will be submitted to the emperor tomorrow. I have already told several important ministers that the matter will be put under pressure from the government. If nothing else happens, Murong Yu will not be able to turn around this time. "

Shen Ruoxi nodded slightly: "Then tomorrow, I will go see him for the last time."

*

It snowed all night.

When the sky lit up, the entire capital was covered with a thin layer of white.

Inside the prison of Dali Temple.

Murong Yu leaned against the wall, wrapped in a moldy quilt, shivering from the cold.

Du Quan specially arranged a secluded prison for him. Except for Ning Lanxue, who was imprisoned opposite him, there were no other prisoners.

After daybreak, the watchman came to serve food to the two of them.

Murong Yu looked at the overly sumptuous meal in front of him and felt a little confused.

"Why is the food so good today?"

He suddenly thought of something, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Has my mother-in-law found a way to rescue me?"

The jailer glanced at him and left without saying a word.

Across the way, Ning Lanxue's food was also sumptuous and delicious. The aroma of roasted duck legs aroused people's appetite, but Ning Lanxue had no appetite.

She was startled for a moment, then rushed towards the door of the prison.

"Brother Jailer, what's going on? Could it be that the case has been closed? This...couldn't this be our decapitation meal?"

Prisoners who are to be executed will eat better in the first few days.

Murong Yu was startled by her words, and the hand that was about to pick up the food suddenly retracted.

He looked at Ning Lanxue angrily.

"Bitch, you want to die on your own, and you dare to curse me!?"

During the few days he was imprisoned in Dali Temple, he was furious and cursed Ning Lanxue every day.

Ning Lanxue didn't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or because she didn't want to completely anger him, so she never uttered a word to refute.

However, when she heard this today, she suddenly turned her head and roared angrily.

"shut up!"

Murong Yu was stunned for a moment.

He had never seen Ning Lanxue look like such a shrew.

"You, what did you say?"

"I told you to shut up! Murong Yu, please wake up. Didn't you see that your food is the same as mine? This is not at all the result of your mother and concubine, but because you, like me, will be executed. , have a full meal and go on the road before you die!"

"Nonsense! It's you who assassinated Shen Ruoxi, what does it have to do with me!"

"Oh, does it matter whether it has something to do with you? Don't forget that the Minister of Dali Temple is Murong Heng's man. He wants you to die. Do you still have room for excuse?"

Hearing this, Murong Yu's heart sank.

But he quickly calmed down: "No matter how powerful Murong Heng is, the final decision is made by my father. My father understands the righteousness and will definitely find out that this matter has nothing to do with me. At most, I am just a private soldier. For this crime, you are the one who really needs to be executed!"

Ning Lanxue's eyes showed sarcasm.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. The token is yours, and the assassin is also yours. I don't know anything. I am innocent."

"Bitch, you are so shameless!"

Hearing what she said, Murong Yu was so angry that he yelled, holding tightly to the prison bars with both hands. If he hadn't been locked up, he would have rushed out and strangled Ning Lanxue to death.

In addition to overwhelming anger, there is also extreme regret.

"I was so blind that I would fall in love with a poisonous woman like you! I even reconciled with Shen Ruoxi for you..."

Thinking of this, Murong Yu felt a heartbreaking pain.

If he had chosen Shen Ruoxi back then, he would never be in this situation now.

He must still be the high-ranking King of Qi, with the help of the General's Mansion, and he has not lost his father's sacred heart...

The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and the more he hated Ning Lanxue.

"When I get out... When I get out, I will never let you go. I will make your life worse than death! Ning Lanxue, you must die a good death!"

"I'm afraid you won't have this chance, Murong Yu, you will never be able to turn around again!" Ning Lanxue laughed a few times in despair, and then looked at him bitterly, "I regret it. What did I do in the past?" I just fell in love with a loser like you!"

"If it weren't for me, you would still be a prostitute in Goulan Courtyard, and you would be sold sooner or later! How dare you regret it!"

"It's better to sell than to follow you! At least I won't be imprisoned and waiting to die!"

"You are a bitch...you are so bitch! You are a bitch from the bottom of your heart!"

"You are a coward! Your mother-in-law is a slut. She is just a footmaid, so she can't give birth to anything good! Not only are you a coward as a prince, you are also a coward in bed! Every time I have sex with you I’m so bored that I almost fall asleep!”

"you……"

Murong Yu was shaking with anger: "Bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

"Come on, you loser, you can't even touch me now, hahahaha, you will be a loser until the day you die!"

……

When Shen Ruoxi was at the door of the prison, she heard the two men cursing each other.

She stood not far away, looking coldly at the two men who were roaring, with deep ridicule and hatred in her eyes.

Didn't Murong Yu and Ning Lanxue always have a deep love for each other and a concubine?

Now the two of them are like mad dogs, eager to bite each other to death.

This face is really disgusting.

Ning Lanxue turned her eyes and suddenly saw Shen Ruoxi standing at the entrance, her expression paused.

"Shen Ruoxi?!"

Murong Yu, who was opposite him, was startled and looked over subconsciously.

I saw Shen Ruoxi standing not far away in red clothes, with the golden steps on her head shining brightly. In this dirty and dark dungeon, she did not lose her splendor at all.

Behind her were Leng Shuang and Tao Ye, and beside her were Du Quan in blue official uniform and several guards.

Shen Ruoxi turned around and said, "Master Du, please go back first. I have a few words to say to them."

Du Quan bowed his hand and showed great respect.

"Yes, I will lead the people to wait at the entrance of the prison. The dungeon is very humid and it is not suitable for the Crown Princess to stay for a long time."

"I will be out in a moment."

Du Quan nodded and led the people farther away.

Shen Ruoxi walked over slowly with a few people.

Seeing her, Murong Yu's eyes were extremely complicated for a moment.

"Why are you here?"

Shen Ruoxi smiled faintly.

"At least we are an old acquaintance. You are going to die soon. I came here specially to see you one last time."

"What did you say!?"

Murong Yu's head buzzed, and he was completely confused.

He suddenly put his face close to the fence: "Impossible! You must be lying to me! I am the prince, I am innocent... No, my father will never execute me, I don't believe it!"

"You are being held here, and it is normal that you are not informed."

Shen Ruoxi saw his fear clearly: "After the morning meeting, news came that you and Ning Lanxue conspired to assassinate me. The evidence is conclusive and you have been sentenced to death. You will be executed on a selected day. My father has already issued an order. "

"Master Du will come over in a moment and read out the decree."

Murong Yu's face turned pale instantly: "No...impossible. I was wronged. This matter has nothing to do with me. I want to see my father, my father! I want to see my father!"

"Snapped!"

The guard on the side whipped the fence violently, leaving a conspicuous red mark on the back of Murong Yu's hand. The pain made him subconsciously retract his hand.

"How can I allow you to go crazy in front of the Crown Princess!"

"I want to see my father! Shen Ruoxi... I was wronged... It's you, it must be you and Murong Heng!" Murong Yu's eyes were filled with deep resentment, "It must be you who have wronged me!"

His eyes were red: "How can you be so vicious!!"
