The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 442: Where the Poison is Hidden

When Nanny Wang heard that the Queen Mother was poisoned, she was extremely anxious and hurried over to ask, "Princess, do you know how the Queen Mother was poisoned?"

She looked around. The layout of the hall was very simple. Her sense of smell was very sharp, but she did not smell any strange smell.

"Is there anywhere else Grandma usually goes?"

"The Queen Mother lives a secluded life and rarely goes out. On weekdays, she goes to the Buddhist temple to chant Buddhist scriptures. Apart from this, she has no other place to go."

Buddhist temple?

"If someone wants to poison someone, they probably won't start in the Buddhist temple. That's where the Bodhisattva lives. Aren't they afraid of being punished by the gods?" Nanny Wang whispered, "I think the poison should be placed somewhere else. Let me think about it."

"God's punishment." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "People who commit crimes don't care about God's punishment. They disregard other people's lives. Even if they are not in front of the Buddha, they will be punished by God." She whispered, "Take me to the temple."

Shang Ruoyi followed Nanny Wang to the Buddhist hall at the back. The room was not big and housed a statue of Bodhisattva.

There were several candles burning in the room at this time.

Shang Ruoyi pushed the door open, walked in, came to the Bodhisattva, bowed a few times, and said softly: "Sorry for disturbing you, disciple."

Previously, she did not care about gods and Buddhas. After all, she was taught atheism in her previous life, and she only regarded those strange and supernatural things as weird talk and listened to them. However, since she traveled here and possessed the power of space, she felt that there must be some things in this world that are beyond human control.

She walked around the room, which was filled with the scent of sandalwood, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

Could it be that I am too worried?

She stood in front of the Bodhisattva for a while, and just as she turned to leave, a faint fragrance wafted into her nose.

Shang Ruoyi paused.

wrong!

It’s the fragrance of Bauhinia!

Her eyes fell on the candles in front of the Buddha statue.

The fragrance of Bauhinia flowers comes from here.

"Where did you get this candle from?"

"My dear little princess, these candles were sent directly from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Nanny Wang frowned and asked, "But is there anything wrong with this?"

"Are there any left unlit?"

"Yes." Nanny Wang took out a few unlit cigarettes from the cabinet next to her and handed them to Shang Ruoyi.

She put the stalks under her nose and smelled them, then broke them in half, exposing the powdered bauhinia seeds hidden inside to the air.

A faint fragrance wafts into my nose.

This is it!

Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered, "Found it."

When Shang Ruoyi placed these things in front of the Queen Mother, she frowned and whispered, "Is the poison hidden here?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "The person who poisoned you knew that you would go to the temple to chant sutras every day, so he mixed the poison here. This way, a small amount of toxins will enter your body every day and accumulate in your body. It won't be fatal, but your organs will gradually fail, just like natural aging."

This shows how meticulous the mind of the person who poisoned the food was.

Nanny Wang's face turned pale. She knelt on the ground and trembled as she said, "I am guilty! I failed to discover such a serious matter and almost caused you to get into trouble. Please punish me, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother waved her hands and said, "It's not your fault. You don't know medicine, so you can't find it."

Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly. In the palace, the only person who knew medicine and poison techniques was the Queen.

But given the Queen's flamboyant personality, she would not do such a thing.

Who is it?

"Who is responsible for purchasing for the palace? Who delivers these things to the various palaces?"

"Previously, the Queen was in charge of all matters in the palace, but now it is Concubine Cui."

It’s Concubine Cui again.
