"Thank you for your majesty's grace! There are also bear paws!" Xie Ruojiao exclaimed.
The leading eunuch smiled and said, "Although all major generals have rewards, the rewards given to the Prince of the North and Marquis of Jingnan are the most hefty. Your Majesty values the Crown Prince very much!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, we at the North Palace are honored." Jiang Rong smiled lightly and gave Jade a wink.
Jade immediately stepped forward and stuffed a bag of silver into the eunuch's hand.
The eunuch took the money and left with a smile and auspicious words.
Xie Ruojiao looked at Jiang Rong expectantly, "Sister-in-law, which one do you like to eat? You pick first!"
She comes here every year to eat and drink, and has eaten all kinds of rare barbecue.
But this is the first time for my sister-in-law to come here, so let her choose first!
"Xiao Nanxing." Xie Lingxi, who was sitting lazily aside, called out.
Xiao Nanxing immediately stepped forward, carefully inspected the barbecue and fine wine, and said:
"everything is normal."
Although the emperor would definitely not want to poison them at this time, Xie Lingxi always took precautions before they happened.
Jiang Rong left the bear paw behind and took a plate of venison.
Xie Ruojiao happily picked up the bear paw...
A group of people were eating and drinking.
Dong'er came over with a brocade box in her arms and said, "Colonel Chu hunted a fire fox today and specially gave the fire fox skin to the Crown Princess."
Xie Lingxi narrowed her eyes slightly. What kind of fire fox skin can he give to my wife when he has nothing to do?
Doesn’t he have a wife himself?
Will my wife be short of Firefox skins?
Jiang Rong was also a little surprised, "Did Chu Jue give it to me?"
"Yes." Dong'er thought for a moment and then added: "Colonel Chu said that you are his distant cousin and you should take more care of you!"
Although she couldn't understand it, what kind of relationship could they be after two hundred years?
But everyone in Mingxin Division knew that Lieutenant Chu had a distant cousin, Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong's Qianshan Cake opened two days ago. Colonel Chu also ordered a large number of pastries and gave one to each of Mingxinsi.
"Distant cousin?" Jiang Rong looked confused. Our Jiang family and the Chu family are actually related?
I have to go back and ask the elders in the clan.
The Jiang family's ancestral home is Jiangbei, and she has never seen many of her relatives, let alone all her cousins in the family.
It has to be said that even Xie Lingxi was confused by Chu Jue's mysterious recognition.
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought for a moment, counting up three generations, but he couldn't remember when the Jiang family was married to the Chu family.
"Thank you Captain Chu. Feicui, ask the guards to move two jars of Qiongyu Brewing and deliver them to Captain Chu." Jiang Rong ordered.
Reciprocity.
When Dong'er saw Jiang Rong accepting the gift, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went back with her guards.
Wait until she leaves.
Jiang Rong immediately looked at Xie Lingxi and said, "Husband, the wind is a bit strong and it makes my head hurt. Can we go into the tent and take a rest?"
Xie Lingxi stood up, held her hand and walked inside.
After the two entered the tent.
"Husband, there is something wrong with the maid who came to deliver things today." Jiang Rong said cautiously.
She recognized this maid at a glance. She was the civilian girl who appeared in front of her that day.
Very suspicious.
Xie Lingxi's eyes darkened slightly, and she ordered Jingzhe, "Call Xiao Nanxing to come over and check carefully."
The fire fox skin was immediately inspected repeatedly by Xiao Nanxing...
"This fire fox skin was just made today, so there's nothing wrong with it." Xiao Nanxing said.
Jiang Rong looked at the fire fox skin, then his eyes fell on the brocade box beside him. He picked up the brocade box and knocked it lightly, his eyes stern:
"The boards are empty."
Jingzhe immediately stepped forward and used a knife to pry open the brocade box.
I saw that this brocade box actually had a mezzanine...
There is a little white powder in the interlayer, which is stained in the gaps between the interlayer.
Xiao Nanxing dipped his index finger into some powder to identify it, and his expression changed instantly:
"This is ghost grass powder. It is extremely poisonous and will seal your throat when you see blood!"
Xiao Nanxing was puzzled, "But why put the ghost grass powder in the interlayer? It is not stained with the fire fox skin, so it cannot harm the Crown Princess at all. And the ghost grass powder must be taken orally to be fatal..."
Jiang Rong reacted instantly, "This is a frame-up."
It is very possible that someone used ghost grass powder to harm people...
Once searched, it was found in this mezzanine.
At that time Jiang Rong said it was sent by Chu Jue.
Does the emperor believe her, or his confidant son?
Dong'er only needs to say that she came here carrying the fire fox skin, and that she did not bring the brocade box to contain the fire fox skin.
The only people who saw the brocade box were people belonging to the Northern Palace, so their testimony was hard to believe.
The brocade box containing ghost grass powder was finally found in the tent of Beiwang Mansion, and no one could argue with it.
Jiang Rong made a decisive decision: "Jingzhe, take it out and burn it!"
"Yes!" Jingzhe carried the brocade box out, used it as firewood, and put it into the bonfire outside the tent.
Xie Ruojiao looked confused, "How could such a beautiful box be burned?"
"It's a bit dirty." Jiang Rong's eyes turned cold as he watched the brocade box burnt in the fire.
Xie Ruojiao didn't know why. This box is quite clean. Where is it dirty?
Just a moment.
There was a sudden noise in the camp.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Princess! Come quickly, come and save the princess!" the maidservant shouted in panic.
Jiang Rong looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
Xie Ruojiao also put down the bear paw in her hand and asked in surprise, "Is this Princess Yongfu's camp? What happened?"
……
Princess Yongfu is dead.
After careful examination by the imperial doctor, she died of the poison of ghost grass, and the wine the emperor rewarded her actually contained ghost grass powder.
She died from it.
The emperor was very angry.
Someone actually poisoned the things he rewarded, which was tantamount to using his hands to kill his daughter.
How could he not be angry?
"Check it out for me! Who murdered the princess!" The emperor's face was gloomy.
Chu Shouchen received the order and saluted, and all the camps were sealed and searched one by one.
In this kind of accompanying activity, everything that everyone brings is carefully checked to ensure that no one hides sharp weapons or poisons in case of accidents.
But now poison is mixed in!
This time, Mingxin Division was very careful in the investigation, even if it was a piece of wood, he would split it in half to take a look...
When Jade saw this scene, she felt frightened.
Fortunately, the princess reacted quickly and immediately threw the brocade box into the bonfire and burned it. Otherwise, if he is found out at this time, how can he prove his innocence?
Princess Anyang barely suppressed the excitement in her heart.
Anyone who dares to compete with her for a man will die!
Yongfu deserves to die!
And it's great to be able to take Jiang Rong away by the way.
She looked expectantly at the tent of Beiwang Mansion, waiting for the show to begin.
but……
The captains completed the inspection step by step and went to the next camp.
How is this going? Why haven't the people from Beiwang Mansion been arrested?
Soon, all the camps were screened and no traces of poisonous weed powder were found.
"Your Majesty, the murderer must have destroyed the evidence." Chu Shouchen bowed and reported, "I am incompetent and failed to find any clues."
The emperor's face became even more ugly.
Princess Anyang couldn't help but said, "Did you search carefully enough?"
