Chapter 107 Abandoned Garden
On the way to King Jingyin's bedroom, Zhu Lianzhi couldn't help but speculate on the possible cause of his poisoning.
At that time, the guards under Sun Guye said to Hong Mian: "Imperial Physician Hong, there is one external medicine that you haven't taken yet, right?" This sentence was exactly his hint that Hong Mian had poisoned him.
After Hong Mian responded, he immediately passed by Zhu Lianzhi and walked towards the location of an external medicine. At this moment, Hong Mian lost his balance and stumbled to the ground.
Zhu Lianzhi subconsciously helped him up. After thanking Zhu Lianzhi, he took the external medicine and left with the guard under Sun Guye.
When Zhu Lianzhi was helping him up, Hong Mian took advantage of Zhu Lianzhi's inattention and poured the highly toxic "Soul-Breaking Ink" into the medicine pot's pouring port.
Although after thinking about it, Zhu Lianzhi was not sure where Hong Mian put the poison in the medicine pot, he believed that Hong Mian put the poison in the medicine pot.
On the way to King Jingyin's palace, Zhu Lianzhi met several guards who were on their way to the palace. They helped him get there as quickly as possible and told Zhaolin what he wanted to say. However, he only said the word "Sun" in the end and died before he could finish his words.
Zhao Lin ordered several people to bury Zhu Lianzhi, and sent people to capture Hong Mian.
Liu Qimei asked Zhao Lin softly: "What did he say at the end, 'Sun'? Look..."
"Could it be true..."
Before Zhao Lin finished speaking, the person investigating the dart incident in the bedroom came to report to him after a thorough inspection: "Your Highness, there is nothing unusual in other corners of the bedroom. Only a broken window corner was found over there. I infer that the dart must have come in from that place."
Zhao Lin looked over and felt that the investigator's words made some sense. He continued to ask: "How did the person who sent the darts get to the open space outside the window?"
Outside the window was a small open space that was unguarded. The open space was enclosed on all sides, and a door leading to the abandoned garden at the back was tightly locked.
"Your Highness, I haven't investigated this issue clearly. Unless you are a peerless master with superb martial arts, you can only climb over the wall to reach the open space outside the window, and there are only two places to climb in, one is the avenue in front, and the other is the abandoned garden in the back. The avenue in front of your majesty's bedroom is patrolled by people, and it is difficult to avoid being discovered if you climb over the wall. Although the abandoned garden in the back is relatively large and rarely visited, since Chen Woyin disappeared last time, even the outer perimeter of the abandoned garden has been guarded tightly. If you can't even enter the abandoned garden, you can't climb over the wall to reach the open space outside the window. Of course, if he is a peerless master, he can enter and exit many places freely, so it is difficult to judge. I think the avenue in front of the bedroom and the abandoned garden are currently suspicious places and need to be carefully checked."
"Well, we must check these two places carefully!" Zhao Lin said.
Zhaolin told his mother about the situation. When Liu Qimei mentioned the abandoned garden, she recalled the past and said to Zhaolin, "I proposed to your majesty a long time ago to clear the abandoned garden behind and build other buildings. Your majesty is the king of a country after all. It is not very nice to have an abandoned garden behind the bedroom. Every time I think of your majesty living with an abandoned garden, I always feel that it is not appropriate. But your majesty not only disagreed, but also got furious and asked me not to mention the abandoned garden again in the future. Not only did I mention it, but even some ministers who couldn't stand it also mentioned it many times. Every time, your majesty's temper was extremely irritable and he resolutely did not allow the place to be changed. Later, no one in the palace dared to mention this matter to your majesty again."
