"Update the latest chapter of the beautiful Poison Doctor Consort as soon as possible!"
Seeing that both sides were getting more and more emotional, Baisu had to repeatedly promise that the Divine Hall would give them a result, so that the servants could temporarily calm down.
After all, the Emperor's attitude had affected their hearts. If they really wanted to avenge their master, they had to temporarily rely on the Divine Hall.
Even so, they were still extremely hostile to the Divine Hall.
Lin Mengya was not worried about that.
Baisu, Cai Ru, and Deputy Temple Leader Qin could temporarily calm these people down.
The most important thing now was to find out the cause of the Empress's poisoning.
Under the watchful eyes of those servants, Lin Mengya and Baisu finally entered the inner part of the cave.
Because of the mountainous terrain, the temperature here was extremely low. In addition, the material of the coffin provided by Long Tianhao was special. Even if the Empress's body was preserved for ten days or half a month, it would not decompose.
"The Empress's holy body is there. Don't touch it!"
The nanny who had been the fiercest turned around and warned them.
Baisu nodded and did not care about the nanny's attitude.
It could only mean that for the old nanny, the Empress was the only master she was loyal to.
"Nanny." Lin Mengya said respectfully, "This is the shroud specially prepared by my wife for the Empress. Nanny, please help the Empress put on the shroud, so that she can die with dignity."
Lin Mengya was dressed gently and innocently. No one would think that she was the wife of the Temple Leader who had been at odds with the Empress a few days ago.
After seeing the shroud, the nanny could not help but feel sad.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and she took the shroud from Lin Mengya's hands with trembling hands.
"My Empress! I will serve you for the last time. "
Lin Mengya watched the nanny gently help the Empress up and put the shroud on her little by little.
As for the shroud, Lin Mengya left it behind with the excuse of burning it when she went out.
With the shroud, the nanny no longer looked at them coldly.
After all, apart from her, only Lin Mengya respected the Empress the most.
She also took the opportunity to inquire about something from the nanny.
"The dead can't come back to life. Please restrain your grief. My madam said that no matter what you need, you can ask her. As for the cause of Her Majesty's death, do you have any clues that you can provide? "
The nanny suddenly shouted angrily, "If you didn't deliberately target me, how could my master be poisoned to death? In my opinion, your family's Madam must be holding a grudge against our master, that's why she did this! "
Baisu didn't want to hear that.
"You'd better be more respectful when you speak! My family's Madam does things in an open and aboveboard manner. Moreover, Your Highness doesn't have any deep grudges with my family's Madam. How can you be so sure that my family's Madam did it? "
She felt sorry for her master. Baisu was not someone to be trifled with.
The nanny knew that she couldn't win, so she stubbornly insisted.
"Who in the world doesn't know that your wife's teacher is the Saint of Poison? From this, it can be seen that she is a vicious person. She must have felt that my niangniang was hindering her, so she secretly struck a vicious blow! "
"You are so unreasonable!" Baisu was too lazy to argue with such a person.
"Let me tell you, my family's Madam is a kind person. If you hurt my family's Madam like this again, I won't be polite to you!"
The nanny sneered and puffed out her chest. She provoked, "Like master, like servant! Come on, kill me. Your family's Madam killed my Empress. It's good that you kill me, so I don't have to find someone else to settle the score! "
Baisu was about to draw out her long sword in an instant, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.

"Don't be impulsive."
She gave Baisu a look.
Although the latter was angry, she still didn't draw out her weapon.
Lin Mengya inadvertently caught a flash of regret in the nanny's eyes.
Fortunately, she didn't let Baisu do anything impulsive. Now that one person was dead, if something happened to the nanny, she and Baisu would be ruined.
"Both of you, calm down. I'll go and offer incense to the Empress, then we'll leave."
In the end, Baisu didn't lower herself to the old nanny's level under her persuasion.
She went to offer incense to the Empress, and at the same time, all the information about the Empress was recorded in her system.
"Bah, the weasel is up to no good when paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken!"
The nanny seemed to have lost her mind, and kept scolding and making noise behind them.
Even Baisu sensed that something was wrong. She didn't lose control under the nanny's repeated provocations.
Soon, the master and servant walked out of the cave.
"Master, that old woman did it on purpose."
Lin Mengya nodded and said, "Yes."
She had gained a lot from this trip.
The Empress was indeed poisoned to death, but it wasn't a rare poison, but an ordinary deadly poison.
Normally, such a poison shouldn't appear in the Divine Hall.
Moreover, the amount of poison found in the Empress's body wasn't the amount that could kill a person instantly.
In other words, the Empress had to go through a painful struggle before she died.
But there were so many people serving the Empress, and her people outside, why didn't anyone notice the abnormality of the Empress?
There were more and more doubts.
After such a thing happened, the Emperor didn't want to stay in the place they had arranged before.
Although Lin Mengya didn't like this cold and heartless man, judging from the current situation, they didn't choose to fall out with the Emperor because of such a small matter.
So after the Emperor moved out, Lin Mengya and Baisu came again to search the room for evidence.
Compared to the emptiness of the Emperor's room, the Empress's room was a little messy.
Although it wasn't as if someone had stolen the sheep, the situation had been too sudden. After those people carried the Empress out in a flurry, no one had returned.
Then, Lin Mengya specially ordered them to keep a close eye on the Empress's room, and no one was allowed to enter.
So the room still maintained the most authentic appearance of that day.
As soon as she entered, she noticed the traces of poison in the room.
Under the Empress's dressing table, she took out a small piece of kraft paper.
She turned it over and over. This kind of paper was usually used to wrap powdered medicine in medicine shops.
And there were obvious traces of poison on it.
In addition, she picked up a piece of broken porcelain on the ground.
Judging from its appearance, it should be a teacup.
Baisu and she picked up almost all the broken pieces on the chaotic ground.
But to Lin Mengya's surprise, there were only traces of poison on the mouth of the cup.
If someone put poison in the tea, then the cup would also be contaminated with poison.
So, there was only one possibility.
That was, someone used some method to make the Empress take the poison, and then washed it with water!
Then, she found some bloodstains on the bed in the inner room.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Looking at the three pieces of evidence in her hands, Lin Mengya guessed an almost impossible answer.
"It seems that the Empress drank the poison herself?"
Not to mention her, even Baisu was very shocked by this answer.
Looking at the things in her hands, Baisu said doubtfully, "Is the Empress tired of living? Otherwise, why would she do this?"
Yes, Lin Mengya was also puzzled.
Although the Empress was an ambitious person, she still had worries in her heart.
Therefore, even if they refused the Empress' request, she would never commit suicide for the sake of her child.
Unless …
"Master, do you think that the Emperor wanted the Empress to sacrifice her life in order to blackmail you and the Temple Master?"
Baisu's question was exactly what she was thinking.
But she didn't think it was possible.
The relationship between the Emperor and the Empress was more of a collusion based on interests.
Even if the Empress Dowager died as the Empress Dowager, it was likely that in the end, all the benefits from her death would not necessarily be passed on to her son.
And all the evidence was in her hands. If the Emperor did it, he wouldn't be so careless.
Lin Mengya couldn't think of a suitable answer, so she wanted to go back with Baisu first and then make other plans.
But on the way, Lin Mengya and Baisu met a group of people.
These people were arranged by Cai Ru to clean the Empress' residence.
When they saw Baisu, they all bowed and greeted her respectfully.
At first, Lin Mengya just glanced at them casually, but when she saw an inconspicuous little man in the crowd, her eyes flickered.
When the man was far away, she lowered her voice and said, "Ask someone to secretly keep an eye on that little man."
Baisu didn't ask why and immediately did it.
Lin Mengya returned to her bedroom alone, but she didn't expect that someone would come to visit her.
"Greetings, Madam."
It had only been a few days since they last met, but the identity of the other party had changed. Li Ao was a little reserved.
Since he was a new friend, Lin Mengya's attitude was unusually gentle.
In fact, in addition to their exquisite appearance, the Li family was also very good-tempered.
Maybe it was because they were often treated as women, so they respected women more.
In the family, women had a very high status.
Therefore, Lin Mengya was also willing to get along with him. Putting aside the little conflict between them, the two of them were more like old friends who had known each other for years.
Seeing the unfamiliarity on Li Ao's face, Lin Mengya smiled and shook her head.
"Come on, don't call me Madam. Don't tell me that I have no other identity besides being the Temple Master's wife? I'm still me, we can just get along like before. "
Although Li Ao hoped that was the case, he said cautiously, "We still have to follow the rules, it's not good if the Temple Master blames us."
She narrowed her eyes.
"You're talking about my husband!" Her smile suddenly became bright and filled with happiness and sweetness.
"He is the most tolerant and magnanimous person, and my husband doesn't treat me as his accessory. In any aspect, we are equal."
Li Ao was slightly surprised.
Although most of his people respected women, in the eyes of the older generation, women were still women.
He didn't expect the dignified Temple Master to be a wife-doting maniac in private.
This made Li Ao even more curious about the Sacred Hall Master.
