Chapter 245 is Dongqiao’s detailed work

The emperor's face was uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Fu Nanxiao understood his thoughts and said, "Brother Emperor, I'm afraid this poisoning has nothing to do with the Crown Prince."

"Why?"

"If you wanted to seize the throne and poisoned me, you would have done it long ago. There is no need to wait until now. After all, you have not announced the prince yet."

"What you said makes sense."

The emperor's expression was dark and unclear.

"Your Majesty, in order not to arouse unnecessary suspicion, we will pretend that what just happened never happened, but the prince and I will investigate." Lu Yunsheng said.

After saying that, she glanced at the concubine sitting next to the emperor.

The concubine smiled slightly and shook her head at her.

The emperor explained: "She can't speak, has a gentle temper and is reassuring."

Lu Yunsheng was more careful: "Can you let me check it?"

The concubine nodded.

Lu Yunsheng stepped forward and motioned for her to open her mouth.

After careful inspection, it was confirmed that she really couldn't speak and that she was still born in her mother's womb.

"No problem."

The concubine even shook Lu Yunsheng's hand to show her goodwill.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yunsheng also let go of his grudge.

Fu Nanxiao took the opportunity and said: "If anyone asks, just tell me that I brought the Sheng'er to check the Queen's throat."

The emperor nodded.

Lu Yunsheng was still a little worried and was about to buy some medicine for the emperor to prevent it.

After all, no one knows where they will poison next or what they will do.

Mu Yunzi waved his hand: "Stinky girl, what do you think of me? As long as I am here, the emperor will be fine. I will check the emperor's meals one by one."

"That's fine."

Seeing Fu Nanxiao and Lu Yunsheng saying a few words to the emperor and then leaving, Fu Peifeng quickly asked someone to follow them.

The two of them came to the dining room, which was very busy inside and outside.

As soon as Fu Nanxiao walked in, the servants in the kitchen came out and knelt down.

"See you, Your Majesty."

The nanny in charge of the dining room bowed her waist and stepped forward: "Your Majesty has come to the dining room in person. What orders do you have?"

"Who made the hot wine for the Emperor just now?"

A eunuch came forward and said, "My lord, I am a slave."

"The emperor praised you for being so hot, come with us to receive the reward!" Lu Yunsheng said.

The eunuch's face was filled with joy and he said repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and Thank you, Princess!"

Lu Yunsheng's lips curved.

The little eunuch is quite good at talking.

Seeing the little eunuch leaving with the two of them, everyone else showed envious expressions.

The porch outside the dining room.

Lu Yunsheng and Fu Nanxiao stopped and turned to look at the little eunuch following behind them.

The little eunuch didn't know why: "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"

Fu Nanxiao drew the knife and put it on his neck: "Who sent you here?"

"What? What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"The emperor's wine was poisoned, you said you didn't know?"

Fu Nanxiao's eyes were a bit sinister.

The little eunuch was frightened.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I don't know anything. I didn't poison you!"

He was trembling all over and knelt on the ground, trembling for a long time.

"If you tell the truth, you can still be punished lightly, otherwise the prince will have many ways to make you tell." Lu Yunsheng threatened.

The little eunuch thought for a moment and suddenly raised his head: "Slave... I remembered that when I was warming the wine, a palace maid came in. I happened to be in a hurry to go to the latrine at that time, so I asked her to help look after it for a while.

"

"What does that man look like?"

"She... looked unfamiliar. I was upset at the time and didn't pay much attention to her. But if I think about it carefully, I really haven't seen her that often."

Lu Yunsheng stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and checked his pulse.

There are indeed symptoms of diarrhea.

"He didn't lie."

Fu Nanxiao narrowed his eyes: "Don't remember at all?"

"I only noticed her eyes. Her eyes were small and her eyes were very cold."

"She's probably the woman we saw." Lu Yunsheng said with a frown.

"What clothes is she wearing?" Fu Nanxiao continued to ask.

The eunuch frowned and thought for a while: "She is wearing the clothes of an ordinary palace maid, but... I found that her steps are very light, she walks very fast, and she works very neatly. Ordinary palace maids don't have such fast steps."

Lu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Why did you look so carefully? Didn't you have diarrhea at the time?"

"You don't know something. I used to work under His Highness the Crown Prince and helped His Highness do a lot of things, so I am more sensitive to these things and unconsciously pay more attention to them."

"If others find out about what happened today, you won't be able to save your head!"

Fu Nanxiao's eyes were cold.

The eunuch immediately understood and kowtowed: "I understand, I understand, so I must keep it secret!"

"roll!"

"Yes yes yes."

The eunuch ran away in a hurry.

"I will have people keep an eye on him. If there is a problem with him, he must be colluding with that woman!"

"I don't think this little eunuch is an accomplice. He knew that the matter was exposed and would investigate. He is still here and has not run away." Lu Yunsheng analyzed: "He should have nothing to do with this matter."

"It's always right to send someone to keep an eye on it."

While the two were talking, Ayachu came back.

"My lord."

"Where is the person? Have you caught him?"

"She ran too fast, and there was someone to help her. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, my subordinates did not dare to pursue her too deeply, but they discovered her identity."

"What identity?"

"That woman is probably a trick of Dongqiao. My subordinates saw her leaving with people wearing Dongqiao costumes." Ayachu reported.

East hang!

Lu Yunsheng and Fu Nanxiao raised their eyes.

"It makes sense because of Dong Qiao's meticulous work." Fu Nanxiao's face turned a little colder.

"But one thing is very strange. The woman could leave the palace safely after being poisoned, so why did she have to come back for us to find out? Besides, when Ayachu saw her leaving with Dongqiao's people, I felt it was a bit deliberate!"

Lu Yunsheng leaned against the pillar on the corridor with a serious expression.

"Well, this is indeed strange. We saw her in the Royal Garden, it seems more like it was done deliberately."

"The way out from the dining room clearly did not pass through the Imperial Garden. She went there on purpose to let us find her." The more Lu Yunsheng thought about it, the more confused he became: "Why on earth? What is her purpose?"

"Forget about this, at least we know that she is related to Dong Jiao, but we cannot rule out that someone deliberately used Dong Jiao to confuse the public."

"We still have to be careful."

Lu Yunsheng waved his hand and asked Lingchu to step aside first.

As soon as Ayachu left, a group of imperial guards quickly ran towards the two people in uniform order.

Walking at the front was a strange face that even Fu Nanxiao had never seen before.

"Your Majesty! Miss Lu!"

"Who are you!"

"Your Majesty, I followed my master's order to take you two to the side hall to rest."

Completely ignoring Fu Nanxiao's words, his eyebrows were filled with disdain.
