Chapter 140: Want to Search?
At this time, the Duke of Miguo had hurried over with the chamberlain, he didn't care about his wife, he kowtowed to Jun Zhanhai before he hurried to see her, in the end, he was married to the couple, and immediately reddened sadly, and asked the old lady of Miguo: "Mother, what's going on?"
The old lady of the Duke of Miguo's lips trembled, and she couldn't speak, as if she was sad and frightened and couldn't speak.
Mi Guogong was shocked and incredulous: "Poisoned?" He stumbled a few steps, and hurriedly held on to the case so that he would not fall.
Jun Zhanhai was a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly, "Duke Miguo, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
He looked at Le Yu, but there was something strange in his heart, on the cusp of the storm, if an ordinary woman was afraid that she would have cried and begged a long time ago, this woman who was originally not from a high background was still calm and calm, and she was very calm and calm.
Jun Zhanhai pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Fourth Miss Xiao, Miss An said that you are the most suspicious of poisoning, do you have anything to refute?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Le Yu, the worries and heartaches of Gu and the old lady, the firm comfort of Yizhen Ancheng, and the countless vicious speculations, gloating, strange and unsettling.
Le Yu sighed lightly, bowed her knees, and her posture was extremely elegant and dignified, "Go back to the emperor." The courtiers have nothing to argue with."
Everyone thought that she was trying her best to distinguish, but unexpectedly she said that there was nothing to say, and everyone was stunned for a while. Yizhen was even more anxious to give Le Yu a look.
Jun Zhanhai's deep eyes slowly narrowed, and he said in surprise: "There's nothing to argue with? Then do you admit it? Did you poison the Duchess of Miguo?"
Le Yu's eyes were clear and quiet, her smile was calm, and she shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, the courtiers don't argue, it's not because the courtiers are mad and poisoned. Rather, such an absurd accusation is entirely based on speculation, and the courtiers really don't know how to clear their name."
Jun Zhanhai was speechless, and everyone was stunned. Yes, it's just that An Susu's guess has no evidence, how do you want her to tell the difference?
An Susu suddenly blushed, and jumped to his feet to say something more. was tightly held by Mrs. An's Sun. Secretly gave her an extremely stern warning look.
Le Yu's eyes were bottomless, as if mocking, and said faintly: "Miss An said that only I have a grudge against the Duke of Miguo, and the person who poisoned me should be me; At that time, the wine was spilled, and everyone gathered around to wipe Mrs. Jiang's skirt, and some were concerned, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos for a while, so I should have taken the opportunity to poison it. Such an unreasonable accusation based on one's own likes and dislikes is inevitably too rash and arbitrary, right? Then Jing Zhaoyin's errand is too easy to do, right?"
An Susu's eyes were cruel, and she wanted to refute, but she was pulled by Sun, she also knew that she had to talk too much today to attract Leyu to bite hard, and was stared at by the emperor and queen's stern and unpredictable eyes, and finally didn't dare to say nonsense, only said sarcastically: "I just said the truth, but I didn't mean to target you, then what I said is indeed the truth."
Le Yu just smiled and didn't refute, but it seemed that it was rare to have a good temper to deal with her, so that An Susu was clenched with silver teeth, but she didn't dare to make another mistake.
Jun Zhanhai had a headache, and looked at Queen Song as if asking, speaking of which, this is indeed what Queen Song should decide.
Empress Song pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Today's wine and dishes are all supplied by the imperial kitchen, and the Duchess of Miguo has also drunk a lot before, but there is no sign of poisoning.
At this time, the old lady of the country seemed to have the backbone because of the arrival of her son, and she also changed her strength, and said weakly: "Niangniang Mingjian, this is not only poisoned, but naturally it needs to be poisoned, and the poison should be contained in a paper bag or utensils, and there should be traces after the poison. The last few words she squeezed out between her teeth.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, all of them were noble clan relatives and nobles, and the next ones were also the wives of the senior members of the court, and the lowest rank were all five-grade widows, and they were all female dependents, how could they be searched?
Duchess Chengen couldn't hold back and sneered, "What the old lady said is really light, when she enters the palace to see her in the New Year, she will be searched, but I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not follow you!"
Empress Song was a little embarrassed, and even more annoyed that the old lady of the country gave her a problem, but she had to endure it, and said softly: "This body search is really inappropriate, not to mention that if you have the intention to poison, how can you still leave the evidence on your body?"
The old lady of the Duke of Miguo said strongly: "It didn't take long for the emperor and the queen to come, and the murderer must not have a chance to transfer the evidence, and he must still be on his body.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't search themselves, but the old lady changed color, her eyes suppressed anger, and she said coldly: "What do you mean by this? Who is the suspect?"
The old lady's eyes flickered, as if she was afraid of the old lady, and she seemed to be aggrieved, "Eldest sister, I don't want to suspect Le Yu, but the Wu family has a pure temperament, and even an ant is reluctant to step on her, who is planning to kill her?"
Empress Song was a little impatient, the longer the matter dragged on, the worse the impact would be, but she was bound to not force the old lady to agree, so she had to say softly and hardly: "Aunt Fuqing, there is no other way at the moment, but to grieve the fourth girl.
The old lady's hand hidden in her sleeve was trembling angrily, and Gu was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and she begged: "Queen Mother, the courtiers guarantee with their lives, Xiao Leyu will never poison people! She is still Yunying unmarried, and she has not yet reached the end of her life, if she is forcibly searched in the palace, how will she gain a foothold in the future?!"
Empress Song glanced at Gu with disdain, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she was about to sneer, when she heard Le Yu take a step forward and said with a smile: "It's okay to search your body, and the courtiers can also agree to this move in order to show their innocence."
The Gu family was in a hurry, and was about to stop it regardless of it, but was hugged tightly by Le Yu, these people didn't care how they attacked and humiliated Le Yu in order to eradicate themselves, but she couldn't tolerate the Gu family and the old lady being humiliated as well, and she couldn't tolerate the reputation of the Xiao family being tarnished because of herself!
The cloudy and resentful eyes of the old lady of Miguo flashed with triumphant ecstasy, and a trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of Le Xianxing, who had been lowering her head as if she was sad and helpless.
Queen Song was very surprised, Miss Everyone's body was searched, no matter how you say it, it is also a humiliating thing, but this girl casually agreed, and she really couldn't get on the stage!
As soon as she was about to agree, she saw Le Yu straighten her back and said loudly: "It's okay to search my body, but what if you can't find it?"
The old lady of the Duke of Miguo immediately swore an oath, "If we have wronged you, I will personally kneel down for you to admit your mistake and apologize!"
Le Yu smiled, shook her head while laughing, and said slowly: "Okay! But the queen mother, I was not the only one who was by the side of the Duchess of Miguo at that time, Miss An, Miss Zhao, including my sister are all together, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public, if that is the case, I would rather die in this hall to show my innocence, and I can't let the Xiao family's century-old reputation be dusted!"
Empress Song couldn't help but hesitate, An Susu and Zhao Danli objected again and again, only Le Xian's eyes rolled, revealing a generous look, "I am willing to accompany my sister to search together."
The old lady of Miguo didn't care who else wanted to be searched with shame and shame, she just needed to find out the pre-arranged things from Le Yu's body.
Sun and Zhao Danli's mother also sternly objected, and suddenly the scene was chaotic, and they heard a low voice containing anger to settle down, "That's it, at that time, gathered around the Duchess of Miguo, there was a chance to touch all the wine glasses and take them to the side hall, and they will be searched by the palace grandmother."
As soon as Jun Zhanhai spoke, no one immediately dared to object, and Queen Song recruited a few old women who had accumulated years to take a few people to the side hall to search carefully.
Tops, skirts, midcoats, silk pants, brocade jackets, belts, accessories, and even hairpins, take off one by one, these old grandmothers are very experienced, check very carefully, check again, and change people to check again, to make sure that there is nothing that can be missed.
If this is a scene, Jiang Wu drank non-toxic wine before, but then he was poisoned, then the person who poisoned him must have done it when he knocked over the wine jug, or Jiang Wu had already been poisoned! Le Yu remembered returning to the main hall and seeing Jiang Wu's weird makeup, his complexion was surprisingly good, and he already had a plan in his heart.
Several people were searched one after another, and the old lady bowed respectfully: "Miss, offended." Le Yu put her clothes back on one by one in a graceful posture, and just smiled politely when she heard the words.
Le Xian was so shocked that she could barely hide her expression, she quickly lowered her head, her heart was already as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea.
Le Xian's cold and puzzled gaze fell on the brilliant brocade braided tassel that Le Yu had re-tined, and her eyes were full of disbelief and frustration.
An Susu was much more direct, and shouted directly: "How is it possible?!" Have you searched carefully?! You must have been lazy and negligent!"
The leading grandmother was very displeased, even if you are Concubine An's niece, you are just a courtier, and you dare to be so presumptuous in the palace, she said coldly: "Miss An, we are searching at the behest of the queen's mother, how can we not be careful?"
Zhao Danli was also surprised, but her family background was usually not daring to talk back to the grandmother in the palace, and she secretly pulled the sleeve of La Ansusu.
An Susu swallowed back the request for the grandmothers to search again, and hatefully watched Le Yu get dressed and walk out with Le Xian, biting her lower lip and stomping her feet unwillingly.
When the group returned to the main hall, everyone was eagerly awaiting, expecting a result of the matter, so that they could quickly leave the palace.
Queen Song gestured to the grandmother headed by her eyes, and the grandmother was a little helpless, and replied with a scalp blessing: "Back to the emperor, the queen, I have all looked for it carefully, there is nothing special." (To be continued.) )
