Zhao Wujiang knew too few clues, and he couldn't guess what the truth was.
But two or three days before her death, Concubine An gave him a warning about the immortal body and the ancestor worship ceremony.
So the reason behind Concubine An's death is most likely related to these two things.
Why can’t the immortal body be used again? What dangers are there in the ancestor worship ceremony?
Or will something else big happen?
Zhao Wujiang was walking around the dormitory and watching. The maid outside the door was crying so hard.
Zhao Wujiang came to the dressing table and saw a sachet made of blue, purple and black herbs.
The sachet is only the size of a fist.
He picked it up and inspected it. The sachet contained some ordinary herbs, nothing unusual.
On the sachet, there are two words embroidered with golden silk thread, "Chang Kang".
Come to think of it, this is the sachet made by Concubine An for her son Ji Bo Chang. The word "Chang Kang" means that she hopes that her child Ji Bo Chang will be healthy and prosperous.
This is a mother's concern for her child.
Zhao Wujiang put the sachet away and looked around the room again, but found no other suspicious or useful items.
He walked towards the outside of the house. Lin Yu had just arrived and stood respectfully outside the door.
"Go and call Gao Yuanyuan over." Zhao Wujiang said in a deep voice.
Lin Yu nodded in agreement and left quickly.
Gao Yuanzhu, the chief steward of the harem, took away Concubine An's body. Even if Gao Yuanzhu was found, he would not be able to get the body back, let alone find any clues from the body.
Zhao Wujiang knew this.
He no longer expected to find any clues from Concubine An's body. He wanted to dig out some information that he didn't know through far-sightedness.
Of course, the easiest way to know more detailed information is to ask Emperor Master Zhang Xukun.
But Zhao Wujiang was not sure whether Zhang Xukun would tell the answer. After all, Taoists like Zhang Xukun liked to play tricks and say secrets that should not be leaked.
And since he came to the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, Zhang Xukun didn't tell him much news. It was more like letting him deal with everything that happened.
Maybe what happened today was expected by Zhang Xukun, or even Zhang Xukun was making a move.
Zhao Wujiang asked the tearful maid to stand up.
And he just sat on the threshold, looking a little confused, but in his mind he kept reviewing the information he had collected after coming to the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, integrating these information, and making a gradually clear picture in his mind.
Both of them were waiting for news from Lin Yu.
Not long after, Lin Yu rushed back in a hurry. He was alone and saw no one else.
Zhao Wujiang frowned, he already knew the answer.
Lin Yu lowered his head, his eyebrows filled with solemnity:
"Your Highness, Gao Yuanyuan is dead. He died of a split liver and gallbladder."
————
"died?"
Listening to the report from his men, Ji Botong frowned tightly.
He has a strong body, and when he frowns, he is not angry and intimidating, and his subordinates are trembling with fear:
"Yes, your highness, when the villain rushed there, Gao Yuanyuan was already dead, his liver and gallbladder were split, and his soul had dispersed. Maybe he had witnessed something terrible during his lifetime."
The second prince Ji Botong, who had been paying close attention to the movements in the imperial city, immediately went to inquire about the news after learning about the death of Concubine An.
At the same time, he sent his confidants to keep an eye on Gao Yuanjing, the chief steward of the harem.
But in the end it was still a step too late, Gao Yuanyuan died.
Not long ago, Ji Botong's mother-in-law, the imperial concubine, died suddenly in the palace. At that time, the body was taken away by Gao Yuanzhu, the chief steward of the harem.
He wanted to inquire further, but Gao Yuanyuan obviously didn't care in the face of his coercive questioning.
After all, the general manager of the harem seems to be under the control of the empress, but in fact no one in the entire imperial city knows that all the power in the imperial city is ultimately controlled by only two people, the Holy Sage and the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master assists the Immortal Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but generally never reaches out for power, so in most cases, whether it is the imperial guard or the Grand Eunuch, the imperial physician, they only belong to the Holy Master.
So at the first opportunity, when Ji Bochang and others rushed to Ning'an Palace, he sent people to Gao Yuanshu, hoping to find clues as early as possible.
