Chapter 570: Unique to Hancheng

Rouxi Palace.

Concubine Rou wore an orange-pink phoenix robe embroidered with gold, a double-flowered hairpin on her head, and a phoenix hairpin with a colorful tail. She looked elegant and beautiful beyond words.

Concubine Rou was sitting in the main seat, holding a teacup in her hand. On the other side was Concubine Li, who was wearing a lake blue palace dress.

Concubine Li lowered her head slightly, and when she heard Shen Shuyi's movement, she raised her eyes slightly.

"Greetings to Concubine Rou and Concubine Li." Shen Shuyi bowed.

Concubine Rou looked Shen Shuyi up and down and said straight to the point: "Since Princess Guining took the Buddhist beads from Concubine Li last time, the beads have been infected with a poison for some reason."

Shen Shuyi looked serious, as if he had not seen through Concubine Rou's thoughts.

But she knew in her heart that Concubine Rou was planning to use the string of beads to make her case. After all, if she wanted to keep her, there must be a legitimate reason.

"Of course I believe the county lady, but that day not only the county lady, but also her maid touched the string of Buddhist beads. Now that I am in charge of the six palaces, I will check them one by one as a routine matter."

Shen Shuyi nodded: "Your Majesty is right, but may I ask what kind of poison is on the bead?"

Concubine Rou looked at Concubine Li and said in a deep voice, "Sister Concubine Li, why don't you say it?"

Lipin forced a smile and looked at Shen Shuyi with a resentful look: "The name of the poison is Qianji. If you take it, you will die suddenly. If the skin touches it, it will become red, swollen and ulcerated..."

Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on Lipin's face, that rather beautiful face, which was a little swollen.

Apparently, he was slapped.

Moreover, this slap didn't seem like it was given by someone else, but more like it was given by myself.

"Is it like the one on the queen's face?" Shen Shuyi asked with a smile.

Concubine Li's expression was stiff, filled with hatred and resentment. She hated Shen Shuyi for instigating her, and she also hated Concubine Rou for being merciless.

But she actually knew that what Shen Shuyi said was not wrong.

Sacrificing the pawn to save the king, countless people have done this since ancient times. How can the Chai family expect such cruel and ruthless people like Concubine Rou and Xiao Heyu to remember their old friendship?

It's just a pity that she didn't even take a look at the account book...

"Shen Shuyi, you don't have to gloat over other people's misfortune. Poisoning in the palace is a serious crime. It would be best if you can prove your innocence. If you can't, I'm afraid even the Empress Dowager can't protect you!" Concubine Li's eyes were gloomy.

Shen Shuyi curled her lips, her pretty face showing a bit of cunning: "If your majesty has evidence, just prove that I am guilty. Why do you need me to prove my innocence? How can I prove my innocence? Why don't you teach me?"

Concubine Li was choked and trembling with anger.

Concubine Rou interrupted coldly: "Okay, I need to have these maids searched thoroughly. Does the county lady have any objection?"

"If there are no clues from these people, then I will have to offend the county lady."

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Of course, I believe that Your Majesty will clear my name."

After saying this, Concubine Rou waved her hand, and several maids and palace maids came forward: "You guys, take off your clothes!"

An elderly nanny pointed at Jinzhu and the others and scolded them.

Jinzhu and the others looked at each other and then at the eunuchs in the room who obviously had no intention of leaving.

But those young eunuchs just looked at them with a smile and had no intention of leaving.

Concubine Rou was holding a teacup at the side, turning a blind eye, obviously intending to humiliate him.

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and take off your clothes!" The nanny obviously had no patience and urged angrily.

Seeing that the maids did not move, the nanny winked at the palace maids beside her, and immediately, several of them stepped forward, grabbed the lapels of Jinzhu and the others' clothes, and pretended to tear their clothes off.

Shen Shuyi looked at Concubine Rou: "Speaking of which, I also have something to report to Your Majesty."

Concubine Rou seemed to be interested, and looked up at Shen Shuyi: "Oh? Tell me about it."

"It's not a big deal. It's just that when I was investigating the affairs of the late Second Prince, I accidentally discovered that he was poisoned before his death. This poison is unique to Hancheng." Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were clear. The young girl stood in front of Concubine Rou without any fear.

There was a deeper smile on Concubine Rou's face. She stood up straight, and the laziness around her was much less, and she looked more serious.

Concubine Li was standing by, confused. What did the poison that had infected the Second Prince have to do with them?

Shen Shuyi curled the corners of his lips. What does it matter?

Naturally, this kind of poison is unique to Hancheng, and Roufei's brother Lu Xiao was the commander-in-chief of Hancheng back then.

Regarding the matter between the Second Prince and the Current Majesty, she always felt that something was missing, as if the most crucial link was missing.

What kind of feelings does Xiao Huaijin have towards the current emperor?

If he had no regard for our old brotherhood, why did he plan to leave the golden medal of immunity from death to him?

Do you know that you will die?

Or do you know that Xiao Chengzhang will definitely lose?

Fortunately, some time ago, Jinzhu led people to carefully question everyone in the Second Prince's Mansion. Their efforts paid off, and they figured out that Xiao Huaijin was poisoned before his death.

She immediately gave the token bestowed by the Queen Mother to Liancheng, and asked him and Lianqiao to explore the imperial mausoleum at night. They analyzed Xiao Huaijin's corpse and found a chronic poison called "Thousand Teng Hands".

The poison is mild in nature, but extremely toxic. Even a little bit of it will not kill you, and by the time you realize it, you can still live for several years.

However, once the poison enters the lungs, the victim will die.

Shen Shuyi asked Jiang Li to investigate for a long time before they found out that this poison was unique to Hancheng and was not common. Because one of the poisonous plants only grew on the cliffs of Hancheng, it was not spread in other places.

If Liancheng had not been so knowledgeable and experienced, and had not traveled thousands of miles, he might not have discovered the clues.

Concubine Rou raised her hand slowly, and several maids and palace maids stepped back and stopped their actions: "So what if it is unique to Hancheng? Shen Shuyi, it's been so many years, it's not that easy to investigate."

Shen Shuyi smiled and said with a double meaning: "I am naturally weak, but if Your Majesty is willing to help, I believe it will not be a difficult task."

Concubine Rou was silent for a while, then looked at Shen Shuyi and smiled, "That's right, if it was so easy to check, why would the county lady be standing here talking to me today?"

Lipin sat aside, frowning, somewhat unable to understand what the two were saying.

Concubine Rou looked at the maid beside her and said, "Long Dong, take someone to search the back."

"Yes."

Lipin was stunned when she saw this scene.

Wasn't it agreed that we would first capture her maid and force her to hand over the account book?

How did Concubine Rou give in?

Could it be that the poison in the Second Prince's body was related to her?

Lipin's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little scared.

Could it be that the Third Prince’s party is really finished?

No, no, no, it's impossible. How can a little Shen Shuyi shake the Third Prince's party?

It's impossible!

At this moment, the maid outside the door hurried to Concubine Rou's side and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing wants to see you."

Concubine Rou raised her eyes to look at Shen Shuyi, and had to re-examine the girl in front of her.

What a quick response!

No wonder she was able to gain special treatment from His Majesty and the Queen Mother through her own efforts.

Upon hearing that Concubine Jing was coming, Shen Shuyi's lips twitched slightly. She had wanted to use Concubine Jing to restrain Concubine Rou, but this Concubine Jing arrived too late.

Otherwise, she could have kept the Second Prince’s poison a secret for some time longer.
