Chapter 31: Interrogation of the Man Behind the Scenes

"Si'er, I have already called the eunuchs, palace maids and imperial chefs related to this matter, and you will go with me to interrogate and interrogate. www.biquge.info"These people have already been called just now, but they are just patronizing and healing Concubine Ling, so they are delayed. Now that things are done, it's time to find out who is behind the poisoning.

Mu Si didn't refuse, "Yes, in the final analysis, this matter is also because of me." Mu Si knew the reason, and Xiao Rui also knew it, and the two of them tacitly agreed.

A row of people knelt on the ground, and everyone knew what happened in Concubine Ling's dormitory today, and even knew why they themselves were called here, "The slave is wronged!" "The slave is wronged!" The shouts below came and went.

"Everyone must know about today's events, but I don't know how everyone feels. Who is the imperial chef who cooked for the concubine today?" asked Xiao Rui.

"Your Highness, it's a villain. The Imperial Chef replied tremblingly.

"Today's meal is from you, and now the mother is poisoned, I don't know what the imperial chef wants to say. ”

"Your Highness, the villain doesn't know, the meals in the imperial dining room are the same in all palaces today, and the cowardly villains who are so big for the villain don't dare to murder Concubine Ling. The chef was scared into a cold sweat.

"As you say, who do you think is the most likely person among you to have access to food and tonics and poison them? ”

"This.... The minions don't know. The imperial chef looked left and right, "The slave only knows that today, the Ming Xiang girl next to the queen's mother came to the imperial dining room to find the Zhiyan girl next to Concubine Ling's mother." The Imperial Chef tried to think that he had to say something, and although he offended the queen by saying it, it was better than dying now.

After the imperial chef summoned Zhiyan, Xiao Rui asked the others to retreat, and explained that the matter should not be known to others, leaving Zhiyan alone.

"Zhiyan, this prince still doesn't know that you still know Mingxiang next to the queen's mother?" Xiao Rui asked coldly.

"Your Royal Highness the Nine, Zhiyan is wronged, I know Mingxiang, but it's just because I and Mingxiang entered the palace at the same time that I know each other, and there is really no other friendship, today Mingxiang came to find the slave, and the slave and maid were also very surprised. Of course, Zhiyan knew what the imperial chef meant when he said this.

"Zhiyan, this prince naturally knows that you will definitely not take the initiative to harm your mother, but it is not necessary for others to coerce and lure. ”

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Mingjian, Zhiyan doesn't dare, the mother treats me very well, Zhiyan is by no means the ungrateful person, and please ask His Royal Highness the Ninth to be aware of everything. Zhiyan cried.

"Since you said that you were wronged, then who did you say was the one who poisoned you?" Xiao Rui saw that Zhiyan didn't speak, and then said: "Someone must be responsible for today's affairs and give everyone an explanation, since you refuse to say, then you have to bear it." ”

Zhiyan looked at Xiao Rui's appearance, and definitely did what she said, but she still didn't want to die, so she gritted her teeth and said: "Sister Mingxiang is looking for a slave maid today because she heard that Concubine Ling's face was much more ruddy after drinking the tonic prescribed by Miss Mu, so she asked the slave maid for a prescription, and she didn't say anything else. What the slave said was true, and she really didn't dare to deceive His Royal Highness and Miss Mu. After speaking, he trembled and observed Xiao Rui's reaction.

At this time, Mu Si, who was present but had not spoken, spoke: "Your Highness the Nine, this matter is not in a hurry, what Zhiyan said, according to Mu Si's view, it is the truth, since this is the case, we should go to find the person directly related to this matter, instead of embarrassing a little palace maid who has no knowledge here." ”

Zhiyan listened to Mu Si's words like a heavenly voice, "Miss Xie Mu." After saying that, he kept kowtowing, as if he didn't know the pain.

Xiao Rui looked at Mu Si, although he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, but he believed him, "Zhiyan, step down, take good care of the concubine." ”

Zhiyan thanked her and retreated.

"Si'er, what are your plans?"

"I wonder if Your Highness can trust me?"

"Letter" Xiao Rui blurted out.

"He who listens to me and does what he does. After speaking, Mu Si muttered quietly to Xiao Rui.

"Gao, it's Gao, leave this matter to me. Xiao Rui gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

The queen will take it, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, my sister's belly is black, but it's unbearable.
