Chapter 22: Foolish People Do Stupid Things (2)
Pingle was speechless and could only nod.
Lu Cunxi interceded, "The princess is a little more important, and she simply found out that she arrived early and didn't cause a catastrophe and cause death." ”
Feng Michu also said, "It's because Weichen didn't teach the princess well, so that she was vague about right and wrong, so please ask the emperor to surrender." ”
"She beats and scolds the palace people, and her disrespect to the elders can be said to be that the master did not befriend her. Now that it has intensified, even such tricks have poisoned people's lives, can it be that after the age of 20 or 30, the more vicious the methods become, the reason can still be shifted to other people? If I don't raise my godfather's fault, the Son of Heaven will be guilty of the same crime as the common people, and I will no longer tolerate adultery. The Emperor commanded, "Go and fetch the Nianlun Domain." ”
Zong Zheng thought that he was the bitter master of the matter, and since he was willing to give in, it could be regarded as giving the emperor a reason to delay at least a few days to verify, but he didn't expect that the emperor seemed to be in a hurry to finish the matter.
This Nian Lun Domain is a special imperial doctor for the emperor, the Queen Mother seemed a little surprised when she heard that the emperor was going to summon Nian Lun Domain, looking at the human and material evidence, but in fact, they all heard that it was very suspicious. If the medicinal powder presented by the eunuch is really highly toxic after being tested by the imperial doctor, will it be judged according to the emperor's tone?
Yuan Musheng only felt that if he made a conclusion like this, it would be too child's play, and it would be too unfair to the queen, so he wanted to come forward to present his feelings, at least he felt that the eunuch's words could not be trusted.
Yuan Diyi remained silent and reached out to grab him.
The Queen Mother glanced at her, and saw that she didn't seem to have any intention of opening her mouth at all, so she had to say, "Your Majesty, the queen is docile and respectful, and she has been taking care of the harem for many years, and she has not dared to be tired and bowed to her, I am not feeling well, she is by her side and serves the emperor who is busy with state affairs, and she is also careful to serve the emperor for fear that she will not be thorough." She is so behaving that even ants are reluctant to trample to death, and if you now convict the mother of a country based on the words of the eunuchs, it will be chilling. ”
"I didn't say that I wanted to condemn the queen, I just wanted to make things clear. This is to restore the queen's innocence. ”
"Even if this is the case, you can also make Miss Yuan ......" The Queen Mother was silent, she wanted to say that she wanted to test whether it was poison so that Yuan Diyi could see it at a glance, why bother to ask someone to go to the Tai Hospital. Although she is old, she is not old, and halfway through speaking, she knew that the emperor was already suspicious when he saw that Su Jin was leading people into the palace, and he was afraid that Yuan Diyi would collude with her.
"The concubine has not done it, she is worthy of asking herself, and she is not worried about the emperor's verification. Even if the emperor wants to hand over the concubine to the criminal department for trial, the concubine will not admit what she has not done. ”
Yuan Diyi smiled, the last time I saw her in the queen mother's bedroom, she had no opinion, what did the queen mother say she did, she thought she was a person with no temper, but she was also a little stubborn when it was critical.
Pingle took the emperor's arm and cried, "Father, I really haven't done it, what I gave to that slave is really just croton, that thing is not mine, and I don't know which cheap hoof gave it to him." ”
The emperor frowned and withdrew his hand, he used to be worried about state affairs, and because other people always trembled when they spoke to him, Wei Pingle also felt innocent and cute for him, so he didn't control her words and deeds.
Now that he has encountered something, he is so open-mouthed and noisy, and then look at Yuan Diyi below, he is of the same age, and the daughter he raised is really different from other people's daughters.
He has nothing to complain about, he planted it like this.
"The marriage of children is to obey the orders of their parents, not to mention that I have not made up my mind, even if I really want to withdraw the marriage between you and Yuan Musheng, you have to obey. But you are bold and have a crooked heart. ”
Nianlun Yu was passed in, around fifty, with a square face of the Chinese character, and he felt pedantic at first glance.
When he passed by Yuan Diyi's side, Yuan Diyi smelled a familiar smell. Among the medicines she gave to the emperor, there was a herb taken from Nanban, which could be used as a spice in the local area because the smell was unique.
The medicine she gave was meant to be consumed, and it was impossible for the emperor to put his life in her hands with complete trust as he said.
She smiled, and after seeing Nian Lun Yu saluting, the emperor gave him the poison he got from the eunuch, and Nian Lun Yu said, "This is scorpion powder." ”
Lu Cunxi was surprised and said, "Nian Imperial Doctor is not mistaken?" There are always people in the court palace who have violated the law or palace rules, but it is inconvenient to punish the crime and execute them in an open manner, and they must be disposed of secretly, and drugging and leaving a whole corpse is one of the ways of secret execution.
Scorpion powder is a poison, and it is stored in the Tai Hospital, but not everyone can get it. Nian Lunyu looked puzzled, if he wanted to get poison from the Tai Hospital, he must be consulted first, otherwise there would be a slight mistake, and no one would be able to take this responsibility.
Nian Lunyu said, "Xia Guan is with medicine all day long, how can he admit his mistake." It's just that Xia Guan remembered that it didn't seem to be written in the book that registered the entry and exit of medicinal materials, and someone came to receive this scorpion powder. ”
The emperor said, "If the queen asks people to take it, and she gives an order not to publicize it, who dares to disobey her." ”
The Queen Mother leaned back in the chair tiredly, her hand on her aching head. If the emperor is sure that the truth is so, then the truth is also so. Even if there are a hundred mouths, I am afraid that I will not be able to argue with a hundred mouths.
Since he said that the medicine was taken by the queen, then the queen took it.
There was a dead silence in the hall, even Pingle forgot to cry, she looked at the queen as if she had accepted her fate, she didn't want to argue anything, for the first time she understood what it meant to be wronged, and she didn't dare to think that a princess who conspired with the queen to poison foreign envoys would get any punishment, but I was afraid that it would not be just grounded again.
Feng Mi was calm at the beginning, the relationship between the heavenly family and the husband and wife was originally thin, and the heart of the emperor was the most unexpectedly relied on.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and they did suddenly hear Yuan Diyi ask, "Is this really scorpion powder?" I heard that this poison is very powerful, and if you mix it in the wine and drink it, you will definitely die, right?"
Nian Lunyu nodded.
She smiled lightly, and said something that sounded very ignorant and seemed to be questioning, "Why does this poison look so much like the flour of my cook and dough?
Nian Lunyu only felt that this girl spoke shallowly, "There are many kinds of poisons, where is it as simple as the girl described, some poisons are even colorless and tasteless, how can they be distinguished by color and smell." ”
Yuan Diyi asked again, "In other words, Doctor Nian is sure that this is indeed poison and can kill people, right?"
Nian Lunyu compared a small part on his index finger, "Even if it is only a little dipped, eat it in the stomach, and count to ten, this person is also lacking in skills." If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can order someone to catch a cat or dog and feed it a little ......."
