Chapter 466 Poison Suspense
The road was clear, and Frederick, led by Armand, arrived at the mansion given to him by the old Louis.
Frederick walked around the mansion. There was a small garden and a five-story building in the front, and a garden in the back. Next to the garden was the Sequana River. You could sit and fish directly in the garden.
The mansion is fully furnished and decorated, all from the royal family, and the butlers and servants were brought by Shupaiya.
Frederick carefully studied the porcelain vase with flower blossoms and rich patterns made of peach stone in the living room, which was as tall as one person. This was the second time they met.
He asked Armand: "Who lived here before?"
Armand smiled evilly and replied: "You have met the previous owner here."
Frederick thought After thinking about it, he had seen very few female nobles from the Kingdom of Gaul, so he said, "Why is it Françoise's mansion?"
Arman's face turned dark when he heard him mention his sister. He said, "Françoise's mansion is not so shabby. Her house has seven floors, the highest in the city of Barris."
Frederick blinked, isn't this the one next to it? The neighbor of No. 49?
Armand continued: "It's your Queen Antonia."
"By the way, don't mention Françoise in front of her."
Frederick just shrugged He shrugged, and from time to time the nobles sent people to inquire about the queen's affairs.
Antonia's life before being selected by Old Louis and sent to the Rhine League for marriage was not good compared to other noble ladies. After being selected, Antonia's life suddenly became rich.
When she was feeling proud, she discovered that her neighbor was Françoise, who represented the sales of paper products throughout the Kingdom of Gaul. She was richer than herself and more prestigious in the circle than herself, and her psychology suddenly became unbalanced.
Frederick thought to himself why Antonia was obsessed with building a new palace. She was probably stimulated by the seven-story mansion next door.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Now Antonia is arguing with the designers about how to build a new palace. When the decision is almost made, Antonia will definitely tear it down and start over.
Frederick patted the large vase in front of him and said, "Did you know that when Mrs. Sophie came back from the Peach Blossom Stone, the Elizabeth potato was put in it?"
At that time, Mrs. Sophie wanted to sell this vase to Frederick, but he had just started and did not have the spare money, so he had to give up.
Frederick called the butler: "Take this vase to No. 49 next door."
What else could Armand do besides look grim.
The housekeeper immediately arranged for people to find bed boards and servants' bedding, prepare them, tie them up and send them over.
Frederick and Armand sat down on the sofa nearby. Now Armand has been pushed out to be responsible for the coordination of Frederick's activities in Barris City. You can contact him wherever you want to go or hold a banquet. help.
“Don’t say that I am partial to your sister.”
Frederick had few male friends who could be considered friends. Armand was one of them, de la Gace of Constantbul. Si is one, and Hayredin is also one. There used to be Baron Adikon, but after the establishment of the Admiralty, like many people, the superior-subordinate relationship made him not what he used to be.
"Those 'top bloodlines' in the stable, when I leave, you can take them all home."
With a wave of his hand, Frederick asked Old Louis to carefully select the purebred horses and independent horses. The horned beast and all four-legged things belong to Armand.
How can young nobles not like these? Armand almost drooled when he was in the stable just now, and now he almost jumped with joy.
But the butler suddenly interrupted them: "Boss, there is something wrong with this vase."
Frederick frowned and asked: "What, is it broken?"
There will inevitably be problems when transporting such a large vase over long distances. If the problem is not major, the defective side will be placed against the wall.
The butler held two handkerchiefs in his hands, holding a silver bottle the size of a thumb with a red lid and said, "We found this in the vase."
"Be careful!" Armand He suddenly became nervous, "The one with the red lid is poison."
Frederick looked solemn and said to Armand: "Please find someone to take a look. It's best not to be discovered." His identity is a bit Sensitive, if you let others know that you want to see a doctor, you don't know what trouble will happen.
Armand said: "I will make arrangements immediately so that someone can climb over the wall from the side."
The housekeeper immediately went to prepare a ladder.
There is a consultant in the court who specializes in identifying poisons, and Armand invited him through his family connections.
The person who was invited was Baron Mathilde. She had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child and loved studying medicine. She eventually became a pharmacist who was good at detoxifying and was a member of the Wesson Scientific Society.
After Baron Mathilde arrived, he said to Frederick: "There are countless girls in the city who want to come here. I didn't expect that the first one would be me."
Frederick helped her into the house and said apologetically: "If Armand had told me earlier that the person invited was you, I would have come to interview him personally. If you want to blame, blame him."
" It doesn't matter." Baron Mathilde smiled with his wrinkled face, "This reminds me of the days when I climbed over the wall for a tryst sixty years ago."
Arman was behind with a tool box in his left hand and medicine in his right hand. Box, feeling very speechless. He didn't expect that his subordinates would invite her here by mistake.
In the living room, Baron Mathilde carefully checked the half bottle of blue potion in the bottle, and his expression became serious.
Frederick asked the others to leave, and Armand also wanted to leave. Baron Mathilde said to him: "You can stay, this matter may be related to you."
Armand was stunned for a moment, and then immediately thought of a terrible thing: "Could it be that Françoise's illness was poisoned?"
Frederick's face also sank, and Francoise's face sank. Wasi suffered from lung disease three years ago. She would feel dizzy if she walked or even talked too much when the weather was cold, so she went to El Chapo Island in the south to recuperate.
Baron Mathilde said: "The main ingredient of this medicine is a toxin extracted from a jellyfish that lives in the cold sea in the north of the Kingdom of England. It does not target any specific organ. It will only aggravate the disease. Healthy people will have no problem drinking it."
Arman whispered to Frederick: "That summer, Françoise was on her way back from the manor in the lowlands. When the locals set fire to the swamp, she choked on the smoke and injured her lungs. At that time, the doctor said that the problem was not serious and she would be fine after a while."
Then he asked Baron Mathilde: " How can I get rid of this toxin? ”
Baron Mathilde frowned and said: "The detoxification of magic potions and poisons is mainly to expel and neutralize, but the reactions are very violent and cause considerable harm to the body."
"It is best to use, for example, the South He used the blood of fire monsters such as salamanders and nursed them back to health slowly."
Frederick immediately said: "We have salamanders in the zoo, and we can also ask merchants from the Ghazi Empire to send them."
Baron Mathilde thought for a moment and said: "This is also a good idea. Frederick is very good at this."
Next, Baron Mathilde Write down the status of these potions and give them to Frederick, and ask him to give them to Frederick along with the remaining potions.
After she finished writing, she declined Frederick's invitation to stay for dinner. It was obvious that the matter had reached a political level and she could go as far as she wanted.
Armand also left and went home to report the situation, planning to let his grandfather take Françoise to Weisenberg City for treatment.
Frederick had nothing to do with Antonia. Although she had some motive for committing the crime, there was no conclusive evidence. Maybe the person who did it was put on the wall last year because he was involved in the palace corruption case, and he could not accuse her. The queen launched murder charges.
And it is not yet certain whether Antonia committed the murder out of jealousy, or whether someone took a fancy to the huge wealth brought by Françoise's paper products sales agency and committed the murder and then framed her.
Frederick even suspected that there might be the shadow of old Louis behind this matter. Giving this mansion to him was part of the conspiracy. If Françoise died, the business could go to the royal family. , blaming Antonia for provoking an internal fight between herself and the royal family of the Rhine League, but the Gallic royal family suffered no loss.
The specific situation has to be investigated by Armand and his family's local gangsters. Françoise has brought huge wealth to the family, and touching her is no different from digging up their ancestral graves.
Frederick immediately decided to sell Penelope a batch of weapons from the sample library.
