Chapter 421 How did Situ Yuan's peregrine falcon end up with Xie Ying?
Princess Zhou trembled, but dared not say anything.
As King Zhou's back gradually disappeared into the distance, Doctor Wang and the guards quickly retreated.
She looked at the bodies of her son and daughter helplessly, smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, and finally cried out in despair.
The whole yard was filled with her suppressed and painful cries, which made the servants even more anxious.
This place is magnificent, with jade buildings, carved corridors and painted buildings, and countless rare and precious plants.
Now it seems to have turned into a terrible cage, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
No one expected that things would turn out like this in just half a day.
Yang Xiu and Yang Shu finally made it back to Gusu alive from the capital, but now they have become two corpses.
On the other side, after King Zhou left, he immediately arranged for hot water bathing.
Only after the strong smell of blood was washed off his body and his whole body was wrapped in the scent of ambergris did King Zhou's expression look a little better.
A handsome servant was gently drying his hair when someone announced from behind the curtain, "Your Highness, Mr. Jia wishes to see you."
King Zhou thought of Jia Rui and his expression suddenly became serious: "Let him in!"
When Jia Rui walked into the room, King Zhou immediately dismissed the servants and left only Jia Rui.
He asked in a deep voice, "Sir, are you here to see me about those two evildoers?"
Jia Rui naturally heard the news. He deliberately waited until now to come over, just to wait for King Zhou's anger to subside.
He asked, "The young master and young lady had just returned to the palace when they both died.
Even though the two of them had been demoted to commoners, they were still the prince's flesh and blood after all, and they couldn't just disappear without a clear reason.
I wonder how the prince plans to announce the news of their deaths to the public?"
When King Zhou thought of the tragic deaths of Yang Xiu and Yang Shu, his face became extremely ugly.
In particular, although the poison had already penetrated into Yang Shu's internal organs and no medicine could cure her, she was killed by him personally!
He did not answer but asked, "Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
Jia Rui saw that he was trying to evade the question, so he suggested, "If Your Majesty feels embarrassed, why not tell the public that the young master and young lady were killed by an assassin, and that the assassin was hacked to death by the guards?"
King Zhou's expression changed.
He knew that once Jia Rui's statement was followed, Yang Shu's body would become the assassin's.
In this way, the knife marks on the body naturally have a reasonable explanation.
But once she became an assassin, her body could no longer be buried as Yang Shu's.
Even so, King Zhou nodded without hesitation: "As you say, sir."
He even smiled with satisfaction, "I knew it. You are a man of swift intellect, a rare talent. With your help, nothing is impossible for me."
"Your Majesty is too kind."
Jia Rui was humble at first, then he sighed and said, "Your Highness, have you guessed the identity of the real murderer?
Originally, after the young master and young lady came back, they arranged for the young lady to go to Baiyun Temple to become a nun and reform herself, which could effectively restore some of her reputation.
But now that both the young master and the young lady have died suddenly, even if the news of the assassin is released, I am afraid that the world will still make random speculations, which will be detrimental to the prince."
When he said this, he saw that King Zhou's face had turned extremely ugly, so he stopped talking.
King Zhou's face turned pale: "The other party was able to deceive Doctor Wang, so he must be an expert in using poison!
I suspect that the person who poisoned me is the miracle doctor in the capital!
Both of her medicine boys were poisoned to death, so she poisoned Yang Xiu and Yang Shu, taking their lives!"
Jia Rui said, "Your Highness's suspicions are indeed quite reasonable. However, if the divine medicine doctor is an expert in poisoning, how could he be so unaware of the poisoning?"
King Zhou's expression changed. "Do you suspect that the previous poison was also administered by the Medicine God? And you're blaming Yang Shu for it?"
Jia Rui nodded: "Jia thinks this is very possible! She even deliberately arranged for the Black Kirin Guards to provide protection, one in the open and one in the dark. It's clear that she was well prepared!
I'm afraid she deliberately carried the coffin back home to avoid these troubles."
Murderous intent surged in King Zhou's eyes: "If it was really her who did it, sir, do you think she acted on her own initiative or was she instructed by someone else?
This prince remembers that this miraculous doctor was originally invited to the capital by Luo Zheng himself.
Sir, do you think she has already been bribed by Luo Zheng?"
Jia Rui nodded with a serious expression: "It is indeed possible.
Besides, behind Luo Zheng is Concubine Jiang. Now that she has a son, she will definitely be wary of the prince."
"Hmph!" King Zhou snorted disdainfully, "She's just a lowly palace maid, and her son is a sickly child... How dare she plot against me!"
"Your Highness, calm down!" Jia Rui urged hastily, "Now is not the time to fall out."
King Zhou gritted his teeth and tightened his face, and after a long while he managed to calm down his expression: "Of course I know that now is not the time.
But since Luo Zheng and that divine medicine doctor dared to plot against me, I can't let them off easily! They must die!
After this period of time, we must find a way to get rid of these two people!"
Jia Rui did not refute this time. If the Medicine God Doctor could really poison without anyone noticing, he would indeed be a huge threat.
But this person cannot be used by them.
Then we have to get rid of her to prevent this person from continuing to poison us.
The two discussed for a while before releasing the news that Yang Xiu and Yang Shu were killed by an assassin, and the assassin was also hacked to death.
The next morning, at the Xie family in the capital.
Tu Jiaojiao felt a little frightened when she saw the peregrine falcon that was obediently guarding Xie Ying and eating raw meat.
The bird looked quite ferocious, and she was really afraid that it would suddenly strike Xie Ying with its claws.
However, when Tu Jiaojiao thought of the extra white "dog" in her family, she was speechless again.
He is obviously a white wolf, but he spends his days eating and waiting to die like a white dog, and he is very scheming to have two faces!
In front of Xie Ying and her, it was a fawning servile dog, but in front of servants, it especially liked to hold its head high and chest puffed out to show off its power.
He especially likes to bully the cats and birds at home.
Tu Jiaojiao always felt that this guy was actually vying for favor.
But the cats and birds at home are not easy to bully, especially the starling. It always relies on its ability to fly and likes to fly to the branches or roofs, cursing with its little mouth.
I don't know where he learned those dirty words.
Tu Jiaojiao was afraid that it would lead Xie Ying astray, so she asked the maid to teach it to recite poetry.
This starling learns very quickly, but it no longer curses people. Instead, it likes to curse the cat and other birds in the house.
When the white wolf came, it started scolding the white wolf again.
Tu Jiaojiao asked Xie Ying curiously, "Yingying, where did this peregrine falcon come from?"
Xie Ying smiled and touched the soft feathers of the peregrine falcon: "Yuanyuan's bird."
Tu Jiaojiao was stunned for a long time before she realized that she was talking about Situ Yuan. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised: Situ Yuan looked gentle and refined, but he actually liked to raise birds.
Could it be that this peregrine falcon was also caught by the Prince Consort and given to him? It was said that this Prince Consort was a stingy person, and he would either give birds or some wild flowers and weeds to others.
But why did Situ Yuan’s peregrine falcon end up here with Yingying?
