King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

  Chapter 37 What is the truth about poisoning?

  Concubine Lian? Jun Li was taken aback, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he didn't know who this concubine Lian was, but she should be a member of the harem based on the name.

   But why is there no such person in the original owner's records of all the male concubines in the harem? And looking at Eunuch Duan's appearance just now, I'm afraid this Concubine Lian is not a simple character, perhaps, there is definitely something hidden behind this Concubine Lian, so that Eunuch Duan is very jealous of him!

How much power does Eunuch Duan have in this harem? In the few days since she came to this world, she has fully realized that she can easily execute people to death, to entering and exiting heavily guarded prisons, and even the male and female concubines in the harem. They put it in their eyes... From these places, we can see how much power Eunuch Duan really has!

   But even Eunuch Duan, who is so powerful, has a deep taboo against this concubine Lian. It is conceivable that this concubine Lian is definitely not a simple person!

  But who is this concubine Lian? Why is there no record of him, and there seems to be no such person in the harem, and his younger brother came to be an assassin again?

There are a lot of questions, but she can't ask Eunuch Duan, even if Eunuch Duan is really good to her now, she can't ask, because she won't give him full trust until she is not sure who Eunuch Duan is. , the lessons of the previous life are enough, she doesn't want to taste that kind of betrayal again in this life!

   Besides, even if Eunuch Duan really cared about her, she couldn't open his mouth because of the kind of love from the heart, because Eunuch Duan's love is not for her, but for the original owner! If he really loves the original owner, he might be the first to come out and kill her when he finds out that she has taken over the original owner's body!

  So instead of asking, she had to suppress all the doubts in her heart.

   "Really?" It seems to be a question, but it is the best answer now.

  Eunuch Duan lowered his eyes and replied, "It is indeed the younger brother of Concubine Lian, Gu Rujing. This old slave has already found out."

  Have you checked it out? But why did you tell her now when she asked? If this hadn't happened, wouldn't he be going to tell her?

   The doubts in my heart grew bigger and bigger, but I didn't say anything more.

   "Why do you say he came to assassinate the Emperor?"

"Well, this old slave doesn't know..." Eunuch Duan hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Junli was fine, he said slowly again, "Maybe it's because His Majesty ordered this old slave to execute Concubine Lian, so his younger brother came to take revenge." .”

  Concubine Lian is dead?

   Did the original owner order Eunuch Duan to execute him?

What the **** does this happen?

   There seemed to be a cloud of fog covering her in front of her eyes, making her unable to figure out, unable to see, lingering in place, not moving forward.

"Maybe." Junli murmured softly, walked up to Gu Rujing's corpse, and took a closer look. He was indeed a handsome young man. No wonder he was chosen to serve her back then, but it was a pity that Lan Yan had passed away. Only a pair of skins left will be buried in the loess, and will die with the wind...

   "Have you called someone for an autopsy?" Jun Li said indifferently as he covered Gu Rujing's body with a white cloth beside him.

"I've already experienced it, and I can't tell what kind of poison it is, and the poison comes from the mouth, but today Gu Rujing has also checked everything he ate, even the bowls and chopsticks, but there is nothing wrong with it." Question." Eunuch Duan was also puzzled.

  Jun Li sneered, of course they couldn’t find out, because the poison was so clever that he thought of using such a method. Unless there is advanced medical technology in the 21st century, it would be impossible to know!

  Thinking of the backwardness of medical care in this world, and the fact that everyone in the 21st century doesn’t even understand a poisonous thing that almost everyone knows, Jun Li can only sigh helplessly in his heart.

   "Has anyone had this poison before?"

Eunuch Duan replied without thinking, "No!" He has been immersed in the harem for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the methods of those men in the harem. Although some people have used the method of poisoning, they have never Never seen this kind of poison. Except for Queen Feng and Xi'er...

  Hearing that, Junli was a little silent. A person who can think of such a method must be a capable person in this world, but why would such a person want to do such a murderous thing to a man?

   "Bury him well, and send some money to his family, so that his family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

  Eunuch Duan was astonished, why didn't His Majesty deal with this Gu Rujing, instead he treated him so favorably? "Your Majesty, there is no one in the Gu family, only one Gu Rujing and one Gu Jinlian."

  Gu Jinlian, it should be the name of that concubine Lian!

   Waved his hand, "Then give Gu Rujing a lavish burial."

  Eunuch Duan asked, "Then should we continue to investigate the matter of Gu Rujing being killed?"

  Jun Li sneered when he heard the words, "Investigate! Why don't you investigate! This time not only will the investigation be carried out, but the emperor himself will also investigate!"

  Eunuch Duan was shocked, and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty, you... check?"

   "Why, no?" Junli raised his eyebrows.

   "Let this matter be investigated by Dali Temple. Why do you need to investigate it yourself, Your Majesty? You are a man of gold, so it is better not to touch these filthy things." Eunuch Duan said anxiously.

  Jun Li frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with Eunuch Duan today, as if he didn't want her to get involved in this matter, could there be something hidden about Gu Rujing?

  Glanced at Eunuch Duan without any trace, pursed his lips and said, "Then this matter will be temporarily handed over to Dali Temple for supervision, and the emperor will also review the case together."

  Seeing that Junli was relieved, Eunuch Duan heaved a sigh of relief unconsciously. It would be best for His Majesty not to directly participate in this matter. If he did, he would stop it, even if it took his life to stop it!

  He cannot let His Majesty end up in the same fate as Xi'er and Queen Feng. He has already regretted what happened to Xi'er at the beginning. If something happens to His Majesty again, then he will really have no face to face the former Emperor and Queen Feng.

  As Junli walked out of the prison, Eunuch Duan remained silent all the way, without saying a word.

  Jun Li knew that Eunuch Duan must be hiding something in his heart, and that matter made him very entangled now.

  Suddenly stopped, looking at the puzzled look of Eunuch Duan, Junli smiled faintly. She decided to test Eunuch Duan to see if he knew anything about Gu Rujing!

   "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Eunuch Duan asked puzzled.

   "Do you know how Gu Rujing was poisoned to death?" Junli said meaningfully.

  Eunuch Duan's eyes panicked, did His Majesty know something? "How could the old slave know? Even the imperial doctor couldn't find out, let alone the old slave."

  Jun Li didn't miss the panic in his eyes, and he became more and more sure that Eunuch Duan knew about Gu Rujing.

   "Really?" He seemed to be in doubt, but suddenly changed the topic, "But this emperor seems to know how he was poisoned, and what kind of poison he was poisoned by."

  Eunuch Duan was shocked, and raised his eyes to look at Junli in disbelief. Does Your Majesty know? how is this possible! How could His Majesty know! What Gu Rujing did was very secretive, it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to know about it! Eunuch Duan kept comforting himself in his heart.

  Looking at the eyes of the father-in-law above, Junli smiled lightly, stretched out his right hand hidden under the wide dragon robe, and then slowly spread it...
