Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country
Chapter 223 Lin Xuehui's Death
Early in the morning, Lin Yushu got up and walked towards her father's yard, preparing to have breakfast with her father and brother.
The morning breeze was cool. Lin Yushu stared at a drop of dew on a bright red rose, and then she chuckled.
Chun Tao was puzzled, "What are you laughing at, young lady?"
"I thought of the new poison I made not long ago, which contains an ingredient called flower dew..."
This poison was originally an ordinary aphrodisiac. Lin Yushu made a slight modification to it, so that the poison could exert ten times the effect after it came into contact with alcohol.
This was just a little experiment conducted by Lin Yushu, but she didn't expect it to come in handy yesterday.
I wonder if the two people who are exhausted and can't get out of bed for more than ten days without rest, like the wedding gift she gave them. After all, they love each other so much, this gift should touch their hearts.
At the same time, in the imperial study room.
Emperor Ming looked at the secret memorial in his hand with a changing expression. This memorial was not written by the Yulin Guard, but by an agency directly under Emperor Ming, which was used to secretly spy on and monitor court officials. It was called the Neiwei.
But the Internal Guard had only been established a short time ago and was understaffed, so it could only secretly spy on a handful of a dozen or so court officials.
Just like the last time when the Second Prince Nan Heying rebelled, the inner guards originally only monitored Lord Hu. However, Lord Hu, that old fox, secretly handed over all matters to Nan Heying to dispatch, resulting in Emperor Ming being completely unaware of the rebellion.
Since Nan Heying and Hu Ge Lao rebelled, Emperor Ming expanded the size of the inner guards.
Unfortunately, the internal guards' loyalty and superb skills in reconnaissance, surveillance and even assassination require years of training. Generally, they are orphans with high qualifications selected from the public and trained from an early age.
Therefore, even if Emperor Ming had the intention, the scale of the Inner Guards was still far less than that of the Yulin Guards.
This is also the reason why Emperor Ming relied so much on Nan Rongjing. Nan Rongjing had the ability to train highly qualified and loyal Yulin Guards in a short period of time, which made Emperor Ming both envious and fearful.
The secret memorial submitted by the Internal Guards is about Prince Zhao and the Eastern Palace.
Emperor Ming frowned, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The Crown Prince and King Zhao, very good!
How dare you confuse the royal bloodline!
The King of Zhao was indeed an ambitious man. It was worth it that he had sent people to monitor him. Now his true colors were finally revealed.
Emperor Ming tapped the tabletop with his index finger, lost in thought. He wanted to find a good reason, so as not to be branded as a man who killed his brothers and sisters...
Three days later, in the backyard of Prince Zhao's mansion, Lin Xuehui had been bedridden since being beaten by Prince Zhao.
But no one in the whole palace took it seriously, because since the day Lin Xuehui became the princess, she had been wavering between injuries and bedridden recuperation. Even Lin Xuehui herself thought that spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood was a trivial matter.
But for some reason, this time was different.
Lin Xuehui felt a sense of despair in her heart. Perhaps the long-term injury had greatly damaged her health. This time, her injury did not improve after several days of treatment, but became more and more serious.
The cut on the head showed no signs of healing and began to turn black and fester.
She now exudes the smell of corruption. Many crows have landed on the apricot tree in the yard. Even they have smelled the scent of death and keep cawed every day, like a death knell.
"vomit……"
"princess!"
Dark red blood gushed out of Lin Xuehui's mouth. There was blood hanging from the corners of Lin Xuehui's mouth and she was gasping for breath.
"What a pity, I didn't see their death!"
Lin Xuehui widened her eyes in dissatisfaction. Prince Zhao, Lin Minglang, Lin Qingrou and Lin Yushu, they were all not dead yet. She hated them!
Lin Xuehui vomited blood mouthful by mouthful, but her eyes grew wider and wider, and it seemed that her eyeballs were about to break free from their sockets.
The maid beside her was so frightened by Lin Xuehui's hideous appearance that she trembled and crawled out, screaming as she ran.
"Someone, come quickly! Something's wrong with the princess!"
A maid who was sweeping the yard silently raised her head and looked towards the main house, a smile of success in her eyes.
Mission accomplished, she could now ask for credit from the Fifth Prince's wife.
The next day, Princess Zhao died.
Lin Xuehui's death did not cause much stir in the capital. In the eyes of everyone, marrying King Zhao meant imminent death, so her death was expected in the eyes of others.
But Lin Xuehui would never have thought until her death that her death would actually bring down the emperor's wrath.
Emperor Ming suddenly attacked King Zhao, accusing him of having killed his wife with his own hands. During the morning court session, he arrested King Zhao and sent him to the Cliff Prison.
Emperor Ming's move was too sudden and no one expected it.
The number of people beaten to death by the King of Zhao was countless. Who could have thought that Emperor Ming, who had always protected the King of Zhao, would one day throw the King of Zhao into prison because of the death of such an unknown woman.
But the court was full of old foxes, and many of them understood Emperor Ming's style. They knew that Prince Zhao's closeness to the Eastern Palace had aroused the emperor's wrath, so they were not surprised at all that Prince Zhao was arrested.
In the blink of an eye, the capital was in turmoil again.
Half a month later, Nan Rongjing presented evidence of King Zhao's guilt, and Emperor Ming reluctantly ordered the execution of King Zhao.
Because Emperor Ming attached too much importance to brotherhood, he was so heartbroken after King Zhao died that he fell ill.
Everyone in the world praised Emperor Ming as a benevolent monarch. For a time, praises for Emperor Ming were overwhelming. Every day, the people knelt three times and kowtowed nine times towards the direction of the imperial palace in the capital, shouting "Long live the emperor!"
Lin Yushu was in Shuyue Pavilion, looking at the pious actions of the people outside with a hint of sneer on her face.
Emperor Ming was truly a master at manipulating people's hearts.
Not only did he kill the King of Zhao, who was a thorn in his side, but he also left behind a great reputation for himself.
"Why are you so obsessed?"
Nan Rongjing's voice sounded from behind, his tone filled with undisguised concern.
"Nothing. How is Bi Yuejue's investigation going? Do you have any clues?"
Nan Rongjing did not answer immediately. Instead, he closed the window for Lin Yushu to block out the heat outside.
"The Shadow Guard found out something."
Nan Rongjing talked on and on. He had heard a little about these things, but never thought that they were related to the gold-eating Gu. Now that he knew the existence of the Holy Spirit Talisman, this little thing became important.
"I have found out that if a saint girl from the Eastern Wu Kingdom gave birth to a dead or deformed baby, she would be tortured by water."
The Saint is paired with the King of the East Witch Kingdom. The girl will be the next Saint, and the boy can be a priest, or directly become a prince to compete for the throne.
As long as the saint gives birth to a girl, her mission will be accomplished and she will no longer have any affair with the East Witch Kingdom.
"Your book on poisons records the origin and breeding methods of the gold-eating Gu. It feeds on the blood of the saint, and Shadow Guard happened to find out a secret of the royal family of the East Witch Nation."
"Twenty-two years ago, when the East Witch Nation lost the gold-eating Gu, they secretly executed a saint girl by water torture."
