Chapter 478 Shen Ruzhou was poisoned to death? !
Not far away, Shen Ruzhou and Jian Yu hid behind a big tree and had a clear view of the situation in front of Prince Yu's Mansion.
After Xiao Chenyan and Jun Wu rode away, the two came out from behind the tree.
Jian Yu turned to look at Shen Ru, "Miss, what should we do next?"
Shen Ruzhou stretched and said, "I'm hungry. Let's find a place to eat."
Jian Yu's eyes suddenly widened, thinking that he heard wrongly, and asked with confusion on his face: "We don't have to follow the prince anymore?"
"No need. He looked so bad when he just left the house. He obviously didn't get any useful information, so there's no need to worry."
Shen Ruzhou turned around and glanced at the locked door of Prince Yu's Mansion, and said to the stunned Jianyu Nunu, "What we should worry about is the one inside. According to her calculations, what if she doesn't become the Crown Princess? I won’t tell Xiao Chenyan either.”
Jian Yu understood. Looking at Shen Ruzhou's back as he walked forward, he finally understood why his master valued her so much. Shen Ruzhou was indeed different from other women.
The two of them walked all the way to a well-decorated restaurant. Standing at the door, they could smell the aroma of the food inside. In the past few days, Shen Ruzhou was on the road and seeing a doctor for Emperor Yong'an. She hadn't had a good meal for a long time. She took Jian Yu to the private room on the second floor and ordered several dishes in one go.
On the street, in a gorgeous carriage, Mu Wanrong was a little bored. She casually raised the curtain and looked out. She happened to see Shen Ruzhou and Jian Yu entering the restaurant.
What a godsend.
Mu Wanrong was secretly happy and gave a few instructions to Ling'er.
In the private room, dishes of delicious flavor and color were served on the table. Shen Ruzhou picked up his chopsticks and ate them, praising the deliciousness repeatedly.
At this time, the waiter brought the last soup, said with a smile, "The dishes are all here, please take your time." Then he exited the private room.
Shen Ruzhou raised his hand to serve the soup, and also served Jian Yu a bowl very thoughtfully.
In winter, there is nothing better than drinking a bowl of fresh and thick mutton soup. Shen Ruzhou happily picked up the bowl and was about to drink it when he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the taste. He smelled it carefully again and his face suddenly turned pale.
Without having time to think about it, Shen Ruzhou immediately knocked over the soup that Jian Yu was about to put into his mouth and shouted: "You can't drink it."
Jian Yu jumped up from his chair alertly, "Is this soup poisonous?"
Shen Ruzhou picked up the spoon and stirred it in the soup bowl a few times, then dipped a little with his fingertips and put it on his tongue, "I couldn't tell what it was for a while, but there must be something added to the soup. , at least it has safflower and has a strong smell.”
After serving the food, the waiter was leaning on the stairs to laze around when he suddenly heard a crackling sound coming from the private room.
He immediately ran over, opened the door and took a look, and was dumbfounded.
The two guest officers were lying on the table, unconscious with blood streaming from the corners of their mouths. There was a piece of broken dish on the floor.
"The dead are dead, the dead are eaten." Xiao Erhun was so frightened that he ran downstairs, shouting.
In the private room next door, Mu Wanrong heard the noise and was puzzled, so she hurried over to check.
"Shen Ruzhou, Shen Ruzhou." Mu Wanrong shouted twice. Shen Ruzhou was still lying on the table motionless. She bravely walked up to her and was about to take a closer look when Shen Ruzhou suddenly opened his eyes.
Mu Wanrong was so frightened that she staggered, but thanks to Ling'er supporting her behind her, she steadied herself.
Shen Ruzhou looked like he was bleeding from all his orifices, but she looked at Mu Wanrong with a cold expression, looking like a ghost, "You were the one who hurt me!"
"No, it's not me. I just put in a little abortion pill. I didn't want to kill you." Mu Wanrong was so frightened that she waved her arms randomly, as if she was afraid that Shen Ruzhou would pounce on her and bite her to death.
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou sneered, why did everyone suspect that she was pregnant.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped the blood from her face, then sat at the table, ready to examine Mu Wanrong.
"Tell me, who told you that I was pregnant?"
When Mu Wanrong heard the voice, she looked up and saw that Shen Ruzhou still looked like a ghost.
She pushed away Ling'er who was still hugging each other, pointed at Shen Ruzhou angrily and said, "You pretended to be a ghost to scare me?"
"You have a ghost in your heart." Shen Ruzhou exposed her immediately, and said with a threatening voice: "You have done too many bad things, maybe one day you will actually meet a ghost."
"You..." Mu Wanrong was furious, and just as he was about to curse, a group of government officials broke in. After the leading yamen officer saw what was going on in the room, he shouted dissatisfied: "Who reported the case? Didn't they say that someone was dead? Are they cooperating to entertain officials?"
The waiter poked his head in and took a look, full of horror, "Sir, are you okay?"
"We're fine, it was just..." Shen Ruzhou was about to explain, but Mu Wanrong suddenly burst into tears and shouted for help.
"You guys are here just in time. She wants to harm me. Catch them quickly."
When Jian Yu heard this wailing, he truly experienced what it meant for the evildoer to complain first.
Seeing that Mu Wanrong was pregnant, the leading yamen servant couldn't help but soften his tone, "Madam, can you tell me what's going on?"
"They put abortion pills in the soup and forced me to drink it." Mu Wanrong wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looking embarrassed.
Shen Ruzhou snorted coldly and said, "Mu Wanrong, please see clearly before you lie. This is the private room I want. I am the one eating here."
Mu Wanrong had already thought of her excuse, and immediately defended: "I was eating next door, and when I passed by the door of her private room, she grabbed me and wanted to force-feed me abortion pills. The pill was placed in that In the soup.”
Mu Wanrong pointed to the soup on the table with a look of horror on her face.
"Everything I say is true, you can find a doctor to check it."
She put the abortion pill into the soup with her own hands, so she was naturally not afraid of testing.
On the other side, Shen Ruzhou's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he also pretended to be a sufferer, and said: "Brother Yamen, there is clearly poison in this soup, as she said, and I am not afraid of you asking a doctor to test it." ."
Both sides have their own rhetoric, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the lies.
The leading yamen officer didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he took everyone to the yamen and handed it over to Mr. Fang for judgment.
In the court hall of Jingzhao Yamen, Mr. Fang followed the usual practice and asked the two of them their last names and where they lived.
As soon as he asked, Mr. Fang, who was sitting in the main hall, suddenly panicked.
One was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family who had just reconciled with the prince, and the other was the prince's concubine who was six months pregnant.
This matter, no matter how you look at it, looks like a jealousy among the back house, and it belongs to the prince's family.
Mr. Fang felt his head was heavy. After being silent for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and ordered to the master: "Go and invite His Highness the Crown Prince."
At this time, the Yamen servant brought the bowl of soup from the private room and placed it in front of Mr. Fang's desk, and then reported their remarks in detail.
After hearing this, Mr. Fang asked a doctor to come and check.
When the doctor arrived, he picked up the bowl, smelled it, and responded respectfully, "Sir, I can't judge at the moment. You need to boil the soup to dryness and extract the powder before you can draw a conclusion."
"Okay, I'm waiting for your reply." Mr. Fang agreed happily. Now the key to solving the case lies in this bowl of soup, no matter how long it takes, he has to wait.
