Chapter 430
When Su Jingxian finished speaking, she was still holding the puppet tightly.
The faces of the people in the troupe became more and more strange.
The old troupe leader who was kneeling in front of her suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Su Jingxian.
"Princess Yu, you have said so much."
"Then... I might as well give this thing to you."
"But don't regret it?"
Click...
The head of the puppet turned straight and looked at Su Jingxian.
Su Jingxian's mood sank.
"There is indeed something wrong with this troupe. It's too late to notice it."
Then, she saw that she threw the puppet in her hand at the old troupe leader in front of her.
But the puppet grabbed her right arm tightly.
Su Jingxian groaned for no reason.
There was a stinging pain in her arm.
Looking down, the blood was seeping out from the gap between the puppet and the arm, and the arm was completely unconscious.
The old troupe slowly stood up and looked at the direction of the Cining Palace with some reluctance.
"Brothers! Retreat!"
"This play can't go on!"
Everyone was very unwilling.
It was really unexpected that Su Jingxian, who went to the Tianshi Mansion, would return to the imperial city of Gaojing without any signs.
That Lu Shuhui must have noticed it now.
Everyone did not hesitate.
Each put down the things in their hands, tried to restrain their breath, and each jumped up to evacuate the imperial city along the route they had explored in advance.
The whole process was fast and orderly, without any disorder.
Su Jingxian wanted to stop it, but the puppet carried a toxin that paralyzed the limbs.
This thing was originally intended by the troupe to deal with Lu Shuhui.
Thinking of using puppets to perform tomorrow, approaching Lu Shuhui in the most normal way and taking her down!
And... cripple her!
Who would have thought that Su Jingxian only glanced at the puppet when passing by, and immediately noticed something mysterious.
The toxin is constantly affecting.
If it is a Qi poison, Yin Qi Yuan can naturally solve it, but this is a kind of biological toxin, and Yin Qi Yuan can do nothing about it.
Or the palace maids and eunuchs noticed it.
Reported this to Lu Shuhui.
The Queen Mother, who usually looks very gentle, actually dismantled the puppet on Su Jingxian's arm with her bare hands.
There are three conspicuous blood holes on the snow-white forearm, and the surrounding area has turned black.
Lu Shuhui said calmly: "It should be some kind of toad toxin. Come in with me. There is medicine in the palace that can solve it."
"Okay, but I can't move..."
Su Jingxian's face is very embarrassed.
This paralysis effect is stronger than the Five Thunder Method.
Every time I try to move, the pain is indescribable, similar to the feeling of completely paralyzed feet after squatting for a long time.
Lu Shuhui had no choice but to pick up Su Jingxian by the waist and bring her into the Cining Palace, then closed the palace gate.
After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, she took out a lot of medicines, cleaned off the blood stains and began to apply the medicine.
Su Jingxian was not surprised.
In the past, she would have thought that a queen mother would do such a delicate job.
But now.
For this mother-in-law, in addition to admiration, she can only admire her.
After applying the medicine, the effect of the toxin is gradually weakening, and the color of the wound has returned to normal.
Su Jingxian regretted it.
"When I became suspicious, I shouldn't have been long-winded with them, I should have killed them all in one go!"
Lu Shuhui smiled lightly and said, "Why think so much, but it really confirms Yuze's guess."
"Not only Zhang Ci, but also me."
"Even if I stay in the deep palace, there are people who are worried about my existence."
Lu Shuhui's thoughts are extremely active, but some of them are also terrifying when they think about it carefully.
The pusher in the dark is too powerful.
This troupe was invited by Pei Liqing.
Su Jingxian frowned slightly.
"Mother, do you mean that the queen is in cahoots with that person?"
Lu Shuhui smiled and said, "She doesn't have that ability yet. I guess after she invited the troupe, someone used the troupe to revive and sneak into the imperial city."
"The method is really clever."
"For several days, the other defenders of the imperial city, including me, didn't notice it at all."
"If you hadn't noticed it today."
"When the opera is performed tomorrow, the puppet will probably be entangled with me."
"My Yuze really got a treasure!"
Originally, Su Jingxian was very indifferent to the praise, but when she heard Lu Shuhui's last words, she couldn't help but smile on her pretty face.
She liked it most when someone mentioned her and Shen Yuze together.
Especially when it was her mother-in-law.
She felt a strong sense of identity in her heart!
Su Jingxian immediately said seriously: "Mother, this matter cannot be left unattended. We must investigate this troupe."
"I know, you should return to Qingyun Peak, and you should also pay more attention." Lu Shuhui said."Okay, take care, mother."
"Yeah."
Lu Shuhui couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After Su Jingxian left, she called Pei Liqing to her side and asked her how she came into contact with the troupe.
After Pei Liqing learned about what had just happened.
Her expression became extremely panicked, and she knelt on the ground to explain: "Mother, I didn't know that the troupe had such intentions! I hope you can understand!"
"Just tell me what I ask you, why do you talk so far? Did I say you knew their intentions?" Lu Shuhui said coldly.
"This is what my daughter-in-law asked the maid Pei Qing to invite. It is a famous troupe in Gaojing, and there should be traces."
"Okay, call Pei Qing, I want to ask her in person, you should go back to the palace to rest first, so as not to disturb the fetus."
"Thank you, mother..."
When Pei Liqing left the Cining Palace, a layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of his back.
She just invited the troupe with good intentions, thinking that Lu Shuhui would listen to the opera and have fun.
She never thought that it would lead to a snake in the hole!
After Lu Shuhui understood the situation, she asked Madam Du to go out and investigate.
She found out that night.
All the people in the troupe were dead.
It was the first day after she came into contact with Pei Qing, the queen's maid.
They were buried in a pit in the suburbs.
The bodies were still recognizable when they were dug out, so it was not difficult to verify. After knowing this, the gang entered the imperial city by disguising themselves as members of the troupe.
They didn't do it directly, probably because they were too afraid.
That's why they kept waiting.
When they had to sing the opera with puppets tomorrow, everything would seem normal.
Lu Shuhui asked herself.
If it weren't for Su Jingxian's insight, she might have fallen like Zhang Ci tomorrow, after all, even tigers have times when they take a nap.
In the middle of the night, Emperor Shen Yuqing learned about this and hurried to the Cining Palace to visit and ask.
As soon as Lu Shuhui opened the door, she sneered.
"Heh! Your Majesty, you are quite filial. You know to come and see if your mother is dead or not?"
Shen Yuqing said helplessly: "Mother, I learned from the Queen when I returned to the palace, and I came here immediately. Are you okay?"
"Do you think I have something wrong?" Lu Shuhui said.
"Mother, please don't talk like that. You are not so harsh to Yuze."
"Yuze was beaten by me since he was a child. Do you want to be beaten too?"
Shen Yuqing shook her head quickly.
"No!"
"No, if you want to, let me in!"
