Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Chapter 227 The Prince's Early Death White Moonlight 24

Just as he closed the letter, the secret guard he sent out came back and knelt down to answer.

He didn't like too many palace people around when he was doing things, so apart from Wu Zhengxiang who was grinding ink, there was no one else there at the moment.

Wu Zhengxiang was not a person who was overly curious. He didn't care whether the man could listen or not. He just bowed and left.

"Before the selection of new talents, I heard that Lord Song had found a daughter from somewhere, saying that she was his concubine's daughter. I asked someone to trace back and found out that Lord Song had rescued a woman three years ago when he was out doing business. Lord Song often did good deeds, so someone remembered him. I also found out that Lord Song's daughter had a lover, but Lord Song did not agree to their marriage."

The secret guard didn't say anything else. After all, he was only asked to investigate the daughter sent by the Song family. However, there was no official in the Song family and they were all low-key. Some things could not be investigated if no one noticed.

He was able to find out that these were all released by Liu Fuyin in advance.

Li Yize has made many guesses these days. Combining these, he feels that Ayin was probably rescued by Song Hong back then, and she probably lost her memory. She probably entered the palace to repay this favor.

After all, that's who she is, isn't she? Just because he saved her, she tries every way to repay him.

"Go down."

He did check, but Li Yize couldn't tell what his mood was at the moment.

The Song family sent a fake daughter into the palace, which was an act of deceiving the emperor. If others followed suit, even assassins could sneak in this way. But he did save Ayin, and if he was convicted, he would be sentenced to death.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yize finally called Wu Zhengxiang over and said, "Go and ask the imperial physician to come to Yunxi Palace to check on Concubine Song."

If it is amnesia, he still has to cure the person.

Wu Zhengxiang, who was about to come in, was also surprised. "Your Majesty is so predictable. How did Your Majesty know that Yunxi Palace would invite the imperial physician? But the imperial physician must have already gone by now."

"What's going on?" Li Yize's conflicted expression finally came to an end.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Song has been poisoned!"

Yunxi Palace was in chaos at the moment. After all, Fuling was the only person Liu Fuyin trusted, and she didn't know if the others were planted by someone else. She hadn't intimidated or arranged the servants, so the palace was in chaos.

When Li Yize went there, he saw several palace maids wandering around in a disorganized manner, and his brows frowned instantly.

Wu Zhengxiang was the first to notice that His Majesty’s face fell, and he immediately observed a moment of silence for these servants.

The concubines in the palace who were of low family background and not very favored were served by people who were not very attentive, but he did not expect that the emperor had just come last night, and these palace servants were still impatient when doing things, as if they were used to being lazy and could not do good things. However, it was easy to understand the reason. Song Cairen was weak in character and was afraid that she could not control the people under her.

Wu Zhengxiang had already stepped forward to tidy up the situation without His Majesty saying anything. When they saw His Majesty coming, they saluted while shaking their bodies.

Li Yize went in with a gloomy face, and he didn't know how the Ministry of Internal Affairs selected people!

As soon as he came in, the people in the palace saluted in unison. He immediately waved his hand and looked at the woman lying on the couch with concern, "What happened to Concubine Song?"

"Your Majesty, after repeated diagnosis, I suspect that Miss Song has been poisoned. The symptoms are somewhat similar to those of oleander. I have already sent someone to boil medicine."

It has only been a short time. He had just favored Ayin last night, and less than half a day later, she was murdered.

Seeing her lying lifeless on the couch, Li Yize couldn't help but recall her bright smile when she lured the enemy away for him that day. For a moment, the surroundings seemed to be covered with frost, and the palace maid was so cold that she trembled and knelt on the ground.

"Wu Zhengxiang, send someone to check Yunxi Palace from top to bottom." After giving the order, he looked at Fuling who was kneeling beside the bed and said, "You are Concubine Song's personal maid, right? Tell me everything Concubine Song used today."

This thorough investigation naturally requires asking a female doctor to check every item in the palace one by one. It takes time, but it is also the fastest way to find the source of the poisoning.

"Your Majesty, the young lady had a poor appetite this morning, so she drank some porridge and ate some cakes. However, she felt nauseous and vomited soon after she finished eating, and then fainted not long after. The rest of the meal is here."

The female doctors and eunuchs in the palace were checking together. Doctor Zhao was also busy. After examining the patients, he came to check the meals.

Coincidentally, the doctor Zhao whom Fuling went to invite was the doctor Zhao in the military camp back then. However, it was not that Liu Fuyin discovered and asked to invite him on purpose. It was just that this doctor was the easiest to talk to. When he heard that a concubine had fainted, he came over with a medicine box.

Liu Fuyin left a deep impression on them in the military camp back then, so Doctor Zhao recognized Liu Fuyin the first time he saw her. However, he was in a hurry and didn't have time to stand there in a daze and be shocked.

After checking them one by one, Doctor Zhao quickly shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with these meals."

At the same time, the female doctors who were searching also came out. They did not find any poison, but did find saffron in the residence of a palace maid.

"Take her to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation." Li Yize spoke without even raising his eyelids. Wu Zhengxiang had already blocked the maid's mouth with his eyes before she could shout.

Their Majesty did not have a good reputation. Although he ascended the throne legitimately, he also killed many of his brothers and sisters. Everyone in the palace was extremely afraid of him. They knelt down and dared not breathe.

"Think about it again. Does your master eat anything else?" Li Yize looked at Fuling steadily.

Li Yize is used to fighting on the battlefield. He never smiles, and especially when he has a stern face, he can't help but exude a murderous aura.

He himself might not feel it, but he was on the verge of getting angry, half-smiling as if he was going to kill someone in the next moment. Fuling also shuddered, thinking for a long time before speaking uncertainly, "...The young lady had some tea when she went to pay her respects to the Queen."

"Cough cough..." Li Yize was on the verge of getting angry. Liu Fuyin on the couch suddenly coughed a few times. The coldness on his face instantly faded a little and he walked over.
