Chapter 220: A Wave of Unsettled
Wu Shanghua suddenly straightened up and said unhappily: "Your Highness is here, is it dedicated to Ruan Shuoren?"
Sheng Yao sneered and didn't make a sound. Seeing that Ruan Liangdi's forehead was bruised, he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the corner of his forehead, took a deep breath, his eyes gradually narrowed away, and he commanded softly: "Fu Liangdi get up and send it back to the Ying Hall for treatment." ”
Ruan Liangdi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that Sheng Yao did not want to investigate the crime of framing Wu Shanghua's brothers and sisters. Her chest rose and fell, her face flushed and white, and it took a while for her to stand up with Sang Rou's support. She probably knelt for a long time, and when she got up, she stumbled, and Shengyao rushed forward to support her. But when she stood firm, she pushed away his hand on her arm.
He said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness has other things that you are more concerned about, so Shuoren doesn't need His Highness to care so much." ”
Sheng Yao's expressionless sleeves returned his hand and said in a low voice: "General Huben is facing the enemy on the front line, and King Gu can't do it in the rear. You go back first, and come to see you in the evening. ”
Ruan Liangdi almost gritted her silver teeth before she withdrew the hateful gaze that fell on Wu Shanghua's brothers and sisters, tried to get rid of her edge, and said softly to Sheng Yao with obvious sourness: "No need. His Royal Highness attaches great importance to state affairs, so he is naturally very busy and has no leisure. He turned around and bowed to the queen, and walked out of the Kunning Hall with the maid without looking back.
The queen sighed when she saw it, and ordered: "Today's matter, the crown princess is deceived by the traitorous maid and restraining the heart of the East Palace. But negligence does not go unpunished. The crown princess copied ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the Yuhua Pavilion, meditating on clarity and cultivating virtue. Master Wu should remember this lesson, be cautious in words and deeds in the future, and not listen to the words of the crown princess and not distinguish between the importance and the reason. ”
Wu Shanghua and Wu Shangxian glanced at each other and knocked on the queen's decree.
The queen looked at the people in the hall, shook her head slightly, and said: "Hu Sizhen is derelict in his duties and climbs your lord, this wind cannot last." was demoted to a palace maid, fined three years, and sentenced to fifty canes, in order to set an example. If the remaining 20 treasures cannot be recovered within 10 days, they will be executed according to the law by the Provincial Court Bureau. ”
Hu Sizhen suddenly put away her arrogance, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging: "The queen mother spares her life." Crown princess, help!" Wu Shanghua only lowered his head and didn't dare to pay attention.
The queen glanced at Ye Shangyi, "As for this person named Yuan Qian, you don't need to be ordered by the palace herself, right?"
Ye Shangyi curtsied and replied, "Yes, the servant is saved." This servant betrays the Lord and harms the Lord, and her heart can be punished, and the death penalty cannot be escaped. Come on, drag them to the court bureau to be punished with a cane, beat slowly, and never stop!"
Yuan Qian had already given up the struggle, and was dragged out by the attendants with a dead face. Only a pair of prominent eyes kept staring at Wu Shanghua, muttering in his mouth.
I looked at each other for a moment, and both smiled bitterly.
Seeing that whether the parties were convinced or not, the matter was settled, everyone in the palace stood up and planned to bid farewell to the queen and the prince.
Deng Si also got up and saluted, but looked at Sheng Yao with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
Or the queen smiled: "If you have something to say, you are an old man in the palace, where do you need to do this?"
Deng Si then saluted Shengyao and said, "Your Highness, can I borrow your sachet for a look?"
Sheng Yao nodded slightly, and Xiao Anzi, who was beside him, stepped forward to untie the sachet and gave it to Deng Si. Deng Si took it and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly. His brow furrowed.
I was about to leave hand in hand with Su Su, but I stopped when I saw this. The others walking behind also slowed down, and the corner of their eyes focused on Deng Si.
Deng Si's face was peaceful, but the words he said were shocking!
"Your Highness, the spices in this sachet should not be worn closely. If the servant is right, it is mixed with drugs that can make beasts and birds go crazy!"
What the?
I couldn't help but walk quickly to Shengyao's side, looked at Deng Si with him, and said in disbelief: "Deng Si, is this true?"
Deng Si bowed and said calmly: "The servant doesn't dare to say anything. If His Highness and Liangyuan have any doubts, please allow the servant to open the sachet and take out the spices and identify them in detail. ”
Without thinking, I said, "Okay." ”
Deng Si looked at the queen, and when he saw that the queen was also bowing, he called someone to take a small gold scissors, and on the table in front of the queen's phoenix seat, he sewed my proud work of stitches and threads - the five-petal plum sachet carefully.
When all the spices poured on the veil covered by Deng Si ornament, my heart gradually stirred. This sachet is from my hand, and the spice is also handled by the maid of the Huiyin Palace. Thinking like this, sweat was already oozing from my forehead.
Deng Si used a small silver spoon to peel off the spices and divide them into small pinches. He said the name one by one, looked up at Sheng Yao's silent face, and continued: "These on the left hand side of the servant officer are just some ordinary refreshing spices. The handfuls here are eucalyptus powder and verbena powder from the western feudal kingdoms, and the most powerful thing is this beaver fragrance, which is produced in the extreme arctic cold land. The medicine is very domineering, and when you use it a little later, you can make the beasts go crazy and hurt people. ”
Sheng Yao's inquiring gaze swept over Deng Si and me, and he glanced at the queen without making a sound. However, Wu Shanghua's voice had already come from behind him: "Someone, quickly find out who this poisonous sachet comes from, and who instructed him to kill the prince, and immediately arrest him and torture him at the court bureau!"
The attendants beside her agreed in unison.
Smelling it, it makes people feel cold all over the body.
I said in a deep voice: "No need to check, this sachet is sewn by me." ”
Wu Shanghua gritted his teeth and sneered: "No wonder! This palace said that His Royal Highness wears it every day and never leaves his body." It turned out to be sent by the tip of his heart. As everyone knows, this sachet is something that wants him to die. She condescendingly admired my pale face, and said solemnly: "Good sister, you have ill intentions, and you collude with anyone outside the palace, and you don't recruit the truth!"
I replied forcefully: "I have never colluded with others, and Xiaoguan is by no means harmless to people." The crown princess should not speculate and make judgments. ”
"Really, then how do you explain these hard-won rare spices?" Wu Shanghua Shi Ran sat down behind the table on one side of the table, and asked with dignity.
I raised my head and looked at the group of attendants behind her, the clouds and temples were towering, and the treasure was bright, and I suspected for a moment that the sachet was her handiwork. But after a little thought, this speculation was dispelled: with her infatuation with Sheng Yao, she would never design to put Sheng Yao in danger.
What's more, Deng Si is obviously the henchman of the queen mother, and he found out that the sachet is different, and it is also because the seat is similar to Shengyao today. Not to mention that after this sachet was tied by me for Shengyao that day, the people who handled it were always in the Huiyin Hall and the Yude Hall. Wu Shanghua has quarreled with Sheng Yao since the day of his wedding, how could the people of Yude Hall let the people of Langhua Hall get close.
But if it's not her, who is it?
