Chapter 180: Who's the Praying Mantis and Who is the Cicada

In this way, the only ones who have the opportunity to touch the medicine are Aunt Hongli and Lianrong.Everyone is suspicious of Lianrong, after all, Aunt Hongli has served the Queen Mother for decades, and she is the absolute first confidant, and the masters who are waiting for Aunt Hongli in the palace must be respectful to her, and the Queen Mother is her backer, and she can't harm her own backer.

Lianrong's body trembled, her eyes became frightened, and she almost shouted: "Slave maid, slave maid is definitely not poisoned, emperor, queen, queen mother, you have to believe in slave maid."

She couldn't help but set her eyes on Queen Song for help, although she was the personal palace maid next to the Queen Mother, she was also a little decent, but the Queen Mother was old, she had to think about herself.

Concubine De glanced at Lian Rong, and snorted coldly in her heart, she is the queen's person, others don't know, but these four concubines of the first grade know it in their hearts, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said slowly: "After talking for a long time, I haven't checked what kind of poison is in the queen mother's medicine? Lian Rong refuses to admit it, it's not good to punish without teaching, right?"

Empress Song's eyes were cold, and Concubine De's villain was indescribably ridiculous in her eyes.

Jun Zhanhai groaned slightly, looked at Mu Xueyi, Mu Xueyi understood, and said lazily: "I have seen it a long time ago, my medicine is blindly raw and half summer, and it is toxic. But the amount of medicine I prescribe is very strict, and it will never have a bad effect on people. This is to aggravate the weight of life and half summer, which is enough to poison people."

Empress Song slowly spoke, "Then go check it out." Where did the medicinal herbs come from? Such a highly poisonous thing is very strictly managed by the hospital and the internal affairs government, and it is even more impossible to bring it into the palace, and the medicine shops outside have the same archives, and it cannot be bought without identification, and it is clear who bought and bought how much."

Concubine De looked at Empress Song with a righteous expression with great interest, and she didn't know what kind of expression she would have when she found out that the ultimatum pointed to her.

Jun Zhanhai nodded slightly. Glancing at Zhang Degui, who had been hanging on his waist with wood, Zhang Degui understood, turned around and went out. After reading it for a long time, he said: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang, I have checked it, and it is poisonous in the middle of the summer." It can only be used for medicinal purposes. It is not suitable for food supplements, because none of the palaces have gone to the Tai Hospital and the Internal Affairs Office to receive the birth of Banxia."

Such a situation was also expected, Jun Zhanhai nodded slightly, and the Queen Mother, who had been speechless for a long time, sneered: "Since you have the intention of harming the mourning family, you naturally will not take medicine from the Tai Hospital to leave evidence, it must be brought in from outside the palace."

She was cold and furious in her heart, and the other party repeatedly dealt with her for something. How could she not know that she had been immersed in the court for decades? The last time there was no evidence, she closed her eyes and passed vaguely. But the other party has intensified and even wants her own life! God knows how angry and sad she felt when she saw the cat's seven orifices bleeding! These people are her children and grandchildren, and they don't care about their own lives at all for their own interests, how can they have half of their family affection?!

After confirming the source of the medicine, it is not so simple to verify, there are so many pharmacies in Beijing, and it takes a lot of time and effort to check them one by one.

But Jun Zhanhai didn't hesitate, "Immediately order someone to investigate! Every pharmacy must find out!" He consciously avoided Empress Song and instructed Zhang Degui: "Send Yu Linwei to investigate, bring the roster and portrait of the palace maid!"

This time, he was also completely angry, and the murderer's unscrupulousness made him unable to tolerate it! The Queen Mother is his own mother, and he is afraid that he will not make the other party have the slightest scruples, and he is in such a danger at any time, how can he tolerate it again!

Empress Song's eyes sank, although everything was in her control, but Jun Zhanhai's distrustful attitude still made her heart tingle.

There was no result for the time being, so I had to temporarily detain Lianrong and wait for the progress over there, of course, torture was indispensable.

Aunt Hongli was very upset, she had also been exposed to medicine, but because of the protection of the Queen Mother, she was safe and sound, and only took Lianrong into custody, which was obviously an unfair move that made her feel that everyone who saw her was whispering.

The Queen Mother comforted her privately: "You have been with me for so many years, can I still not believe you? You have been with me all these years regardless of the wind and rain, and when the overall situation has been decided, I finally became the Queen Mother, you are also old, you have never married in this life, and the time of your life has been given to me, at this juncture, can I still lock you up and torture you for this?"

Aunt Hongli was very moved, and the corners of her wrinkled eyes moistened prematurely, "The slave maid is just an orphan who escaped from the desert and was about to starve to death, if it wasn't for the young lady who saved the slave maid, the slave and the maid would have known where the bones were buried.

The Queen Mother sneered and pulled Aunt Hongli to sit down, "Don't pay attention to them, you, as long as you guard me, the two of us will grow old together with each other, and we will be sisters in the next life."

Yu Linwei's effect was very high, and it didn't take a few days to find the clues.When the concubines of the palace received Jun Zhanhai's summons to Shouchang Palace, they were all terrified, and they knew that someone was bound to be unlucky.

On the main hall of Shouchang Palace, Jun Zhanhai was on the top, and the Queen Mother Song sat on the left and right, the atmosphere was condensed, Lian Rong knelt down and trembled, and her face was haggard in just a few days.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Jun Zhanhai said lightly: "Say it."

In the hall, there was also a general of the Yulin Guard, who was full of armor and was proud, pressed the sword on his waist with his hand, revealing his eyes outside the white helmet as bright as cold stars, and replied when he heard the words: "Back to the emperor, Yulin Wei searched all the pharmacies in Kyoto, and found a record of selling raw Banxia in the records of a Qingrentang, and the signature was Lotus Rong.

Lian Rong's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but scream, "It's not me, it's not me, I've never been out of the palace at all..."

No one had the heart to correct her, and the general continued: "After checking this, we checked the records of leaving the palace again, indicating that the lotus Rong of Shouchang Palace did leave the palace that day. ”

In the flash of light, Lianrong remembered that she had gone out of the palace to buy astragalus and grind it into powder to frame Ye Tianyun, and she was suddenly speechless, and cold sweat trickled down.

Concubine De sneered, she was dressed up extremely gorgeously today, her lips were as red as blood, "What else do you have to quibble? The Queen Mother treats you like a mountain, but you are so wolf-hearted, you really have a heart that can be punished! You are a little palace maid, you murder the Queen Mother for no reason, there must be someone behind the instigation, don't you come from the truth!"

Among the four concubines, Concubine De's rank is not as good as Concubine An and Concubine Shu, and she opened her mouth before Queen Song at this moment, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Concubine Xian was the most unaccustomed to her, so she sneered without giving a face: "Sister Concubine De is so anxious, the queen hasn't spoken yet." ”

Where can Concubine De afford to look down on the virtuous concubine who is talented and mediocre, she didn't even move her eyebrows, and said idly: "Those of us who are concubines naturally want to share our worries for the queen's mother, such a cheap maid who betrays the master, where is it worthy of the queen's mother to judge her personally?"

Jun Zhanhai didn't bother to listen to their-for-tat, and asked Lian Rong directly, "Who instructed you to murder the Queen Mother?"

Lian Rong wanted to cry without tears, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Queen Song, revealing a look of begging and asking for help, "Your Majesty, the slave is really wronged." ”

Queen Song was sitting precariously, looking dignified, like a god in the clouds, Lianrong became more and more desperate, and finally cried lowly, regretting not being at the beginning. She is not stupid, she was involved for no reason, naturally because she offended Concubine De because of the previous incident, but the queen, who she regarded as her savior, ignored her life or death, she bit her lip, and a trace of resentment rose in her heart.

Concubine De took the opportunity to pun on the words: "If you can tell who instructed you, you will be merciful, and the Queen Mother will be merciful, and she may not be able to spare your life." ”

Lian Rong's eyes rolled, these **** were locked up in the prison of the Internal Affairs Office, and they had enough of the pain of flesh and skin. Those female jailers were so experienced that she didn't have the slightest scar on the surface, but she was so painful that she was really scared. But what is in front of you is more terrible than the torture, it is a danger that if it is not good, it will fall to the ground. She understood what Concubine De meant, she wanted her to accuse the queen, although the poisoning was not instigated by the queen this time, but the queen did instruct her to drug before, and if she came forward to testify, it would not be considered a wronged queen.

Lian Rong weighed the pros and cons, and the fear of death made her easily betray the old master, and she said timidly: "Concubine De, the slave doesn't dare to say ......."

The implication is that it is a guarantee for Concubine De.

Concubine De understood, and looked at Jun Zhanhai with a smile. Jun Zhanhai pondered slightly, then looked at the Queen Mother as if asking. The Queen Mother did not hesitate, "If you tell who instigated it, the mourning family can spare your life." ”

Lian Rong made up her mind, I'm sorry, Queen Mother, you are unkind to me, and Heng Zhu is also dragged down by you, "Yes, it is the meaning of the Queen Mother, she gave the slave maid five hundred taels of silver tickets......"

The whole hall was in an uproar, and many people looked at Empress Song in disbelief. The Empress Mother, Concubine An and Concubine Shu and the others all frowned.

Jun Zhanhai's heart was relieved and he mentioned it again, the emaciated camel in the Yiguo Mansion was bigger than a horse, and the An family had fallen to the queen, now was not a good time to move her, he was a little hesitant.

The Queen Mother sneered and looked at Queen Song, her eyes were full of undisguised cold light.

Le Yu stood obediently behind the Queen Mother, and her lowered eyes were very calm. If Queen Song is so easy to bring down, she will not have the ability to hold the back position firmly. An Guifei and Concubine Li are not vegetarians.

was looked at by so many suspicious, disgusted or spurned eyes, but Queen Song did not feel the slightest uneasiness or fear, but straightened out the subtle folds on her sleeves, and said lightly: "Talking nonsense, you dare to provoke the relationship between the palace and the queen mother, you really damn it!"

Lianrong went out, she knew very well that if she didn't follow Concubine De's intentions, she would die, and if she bit the queen to death, she would still have a glimmer of life: "Queen Mother, the slave and maid are also helpless, if you don't say it, you will die." The slave and maid were locked up for a few days and still looked forward to the queen mother to save the slave and maid, but who knew that the mother didn't care about the life or death of the slave and maid. Since the mother is so ruthless, she can't blame the slave for self-preservation. (To be continued.) )
