Mr. Gao didn't even wake up, and he died within an hour.
The situation at Concubine Chen and Concubine Yang was not much better either. They bled, took it internally and externally, and used good medicine. They managed to survive. However, the toxin was too strong and the wounds kept turning black, so they could only dig them out. After applying medicine to the spoiled meat and tossing it for a long time, both of them were in pain and fainted.
Prince Rui sat there, staring blankly at Mrs. Gao lying still. He could not hide his sadness, as if he had lost his beloved. Gao Mingyao came and saw his sister's body, and was extremely furious.
But he couldn't do anything, and immediately made a strong request to Prince Rui, "I beg you to find out the murderer of this matter. I want this person to die without a burial place and be broken into thousands of pieces!"
King Rui closed his eyes, feeling uncomfortable.
Gao was the most similar to that person. He couldn't get it. The throne was his ambition, but part of it was also because he had the power in his hand, so he could have her.
But before he gets her, only Mrs. Gao can comfort him. Seeing her face, Prince Rui can strengthen his determination.
Now that she is dead, just like that, how can Prince Rui remain calm?
"The matter is already being investigated, and I will not let her go." Prince Rui closed his eyes, feeling depressed all over. Although he was on the verge of explosion, he had to restrain himself.
Everyone was outside the house, the door was open, and they could all see what was going on inside. Concubine Liu looked at the prince's appearance and said she was lying if she said she wasn't nervous.
She was gambling, and just wanted to deal with the Gao family first. She was suspicious of this matter, and she would not doubt herself. Liu Fangfei thought that she did it extremely secretly, at least everything she did before , none of them showed any signs of weakness.
Looking at the prince's attitude now, she was still somewhat worried that if the prince continued to investigate, he would find out about her sooner or later.
Concubine Lin also looked solemn and a little aggrieved. When she saw Prince Rui like this, she couldn't bear it any more. She had no intention of going against Concubine Liu. She just competed with herself, wanted to be angry, and felt that everyone was dead. My heart felt happy and happy, but I was also troubled that the prince liked Mrs. Gao so much.
She had such repeated ups and downs of mood that her face turned extremely ugly.
Prince Rui finally sent them all back.
Mrs. Gao was taken away, and the funeral was left to Concubine Lin, who was buried with the concubine's ceremony.
Concubine Liu looked at her bed where Gao had been lying on, and there was still a pool of dirty blood. She felt sick, felt very uncomfortable, felt guilty and scared, so she asked someone to clean it up, and sat alone behind the screen, holding the lamp. It was extremely bright, but I still didn’t dare to sleep.
In the end, she went to sleep with Concubine He.
Jin Xin fell asleep last night when Lianrong went out. When she got up early in the morning, she learned that Gao was bitten by a poisonous snake and died. Even though she thought of this possibility, she was still shocked.
Lianrong described the prince's reaction last night and described it as if Jin Xin was present at the scene. She could fully imagine Prince Rui's reaction at that time.
He actually cared so much about Gao's death. When Jiang Yushu died, he was indifferent throughout the whole process, standing in front of her indifferently, watching her die.
There is really a big difference between loving and not loving.
Jin thought to herself and smiled wryly to herself, "The prince really loves her so much that he is so sad for her."
But thinking about what Prince Rui said, she couldn't die. If she died, how could the prince still have the motivation to fight for that position.
Is he fighting for the throne for the Gao family?
But Jin Xin felt that it was not the case. If she really loved her so deeply, how could she be willing to let her be imprisoned in a side courtyard with no name and no distinction? There would not be so many weighing the pros and cons of keeping these women, and even the city would make space for the Gao family. Be with yourself.
Jin Xin really couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.
In the afternoon, Concubine Lin came to her yard with red eyes. Jin Xin looked at her like this and felt that she could only cry like this after crying all night.
It was red and swollen. Even though I put on makeup, it still couldn't cover my red and swollen eyes.
"You should have known last night. For the sake of the Gao family, the prince wants to thoroughly investigate every corner of the house, no matter how big or small it is. Your yard and mine will have to be checked. From now on, your food will have to be searched. For that reason, the prince Gao has actually achieved this."
Jin Xin was silent, lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I know that you are sincere to the prince, do you think I feel better? You didn't see the look of the prince last night, as if you wished you could die with her." Concubine Lin said, choking again, with a crying voice, she couldn't bear it again With emotions.
Jin Xin was naturally a little sad, but not as sad as Concubine Lin thought. She just felt disappointed and hated herself for having illusions about Prince Rui.
Even just now, she imagined that Prince Rui was sincere to her, but then she thought about it. It was okay if he didn't have sincerity. Then she didn't need to feel guilty about what she had done, because she was just fighting for herself and her children. Something as it should be.
"What should we do about Gao's funeral?" Jin Xin asked.
"Of course I will be buried as a concubine. This is also to appease the Gao family. Don't get involved in external affairs. Give birth to this child well. Just raise the child in front of me. From now on, you will be here In the mansion, I will ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life." Concubine Lin said.
Jin Xin stroked her belly. In two or three months, she would be able to give birth.
It was impossible to give it to Concubine Lin. She also pointed out that the mother was more valuable than the son.
Because Gao was poisoned and it was summer, the body started to putrefy after only being parked for two days. The funeral ceremony could only be concluded hastily and it was sent for burial on the third day.
The government is even more strict when it comes to investigating the sources of poisons, and checks everywhere.
Concubine Liu came to Yalanxuan to look for Jin Xin during this period, but Jin Xin was still missing, so she had no choice but to give up.
After investigating the matter for half a month, we finally got some clues.
In the study, a confidant brought in a man who had been sentenced. He was a slave of the Liu family brought in by Concubine Liu. He was responsible for poisoning the poison and the snake, and it was also the poisonous snake he bought outside the house.
Jin Xin had someone deliberately reveal clues to Prince Rui's confidants, and they quickly found out about him. When he was brought in, he didn't have any skin on his body.
Seeing Prince Rui at this moment, he immediately knelt and climbed forward, "Your Majesty, this matter was done by a slave from head to toe. I only wanted to take revenge on her after being humiliated by Mrs. Gao. I wanted to take revenge on her, Your Majesty, It's all my fault, kill me, I'm willing to die."
He can die, but his young lady cannot. His whole family is still in the Liu family, but he really can't stand the punishment anymore. He just wants to die happily and hopes that Prince Rui will stop investigating.
Prince Rui looked at this servant, stood up slowly, and walked forward, "I recognize you. You are the servant Liu Yuru brought in as a dowry."
"He is a slave, this matter has nothing to do with..."
The servant raised his head and wanted to distance himself from Concubine Liu, but before he could finish his words, his throat was sealed by Prince Rui's sword. Blood spattered on the spot, and he lay down dead with his eyes open.
