Chapter 100: Murder of the Emperor's Heir (420+)
Kangxi took a closer look at Zhao Yan's bandaged and zongzi feet, the snow-white gauze was already red, but the snow-satin socks on the side were blood-red, Kangxi only glanced at it, and the pupils shrank by three points!
Kangxi asked with a straight face: "What's going on?" It's so decent, how could it hurt the soles of your feet?!"
Concubine An hurriedly curtled her knees and said: "Your Majesty, someone threw the rose thorn next to the water lily jar, and because it was dark and couldn't see clearly, Jia Concubine stepped on it." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Fortunately, Bai Tan reacted quickly, otherwise Jia Concubine would have fallen off the platform!"
Kangxi frowned: "Rose thorn?!"
Bai Tan had already picked up all those thorns, put them on the plate, and brought them up, "There are more than a dozen of them in the emperor, and the minions have all been put away." ”
I saw that the thorns were all black and purple shiny, and they were very sharp!!
"Jia Concubine was actually stabbed by this kind of thing, it's really scary to look at!" At this time, a voice with a little trembling came.
Zhao Yan looked up and found that it was Concubine Tong!!
Damn, when did you come here?!
Kangxi also frowned, and said to Concubine Tong: "Why are you coming with you?!"
Zhao Yan squinted, meaning that Concubine Tong was with Kangxi just now, but...... Didn't Concubine Tong go to Chengqian Palace just now to comfort the good nobles?
Other words...... Kangxi was in Chengqian Palace just now?!
Concubine Tong Guifei hurriedly said earnestly: "The concubine is ashamed to hold the power of the six palaces! I didn't expect that within one day, the good nobles and the concubines had accidents one after another, and the concubines were ashamed, if they didn't come to see it in person, they really couldn't feel at ease." ”
Can't rest assured! Don't you just want to get tired of this Kangxi?! Go to the good nobles everywhere, obviously go to wait for the rabbit and wait for Kangxi! As a result, something happened to her here, and Kangxi was invited, and Concubine Tong was unwilling, so she naturally followed all the way.
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for the weirdness of the concubine, and the concubine is fine." It's just a bit of flesh wounds. It must have been that the palace maid was careless, accidentally spilled the rose thorns there, and was accidentally stepped on by the concubine. ”
Concubine Tong jumped her eyebrows, and said quietly: "That's really a coincidence! The palace maid with a good foot drowned, and then Concubine Jia stabbed her foot!"
The meaning of Concubine Tong's words is clearly that Zhao Yan deliberately competes for favor!
Zhao Yan smiled faintly, she is not so shallow, she has to calculate and calculate!!
Concubine An exclaimed angrily on the side: "Your Majesty, this matter is by no means 'unkind'! The concubine went to see it herself, and all those rose thorns were pointed upwards at that time!" As she spoke, she grabbed two rose thorns from the plate and threw them on the ground! No rose thorns rolled a few times, and then she lay on the ground!
An Concubine pointed and said: "If you accidentally fall to the ground, it is impossible to point your head upwards!!"
That's right, my cousin's words hit the nail on the head!!
Concubine Tong pursed her lips with disdain: "Concubine An means that someone deliberately wants to hurt Concubine Jia?"
An Concubine said angrily: "It's not just as simple as wanting Jia Concubine to be injured! On the platform, because of the water lily tank, if you come forward to watch, you will stand on the edge of the platform! Where did you step on the rose thorn, Jia Concubine was in pain, if she fell, there was a chance that she would fall from the platform!!
With An Concubine's heavy and angry voice, Kangxi's face was a little gloomy and frightening, "In this way, someone is deliberately plotting to kill the emperor's heir?!"
Concubine Tong no longer dared to show that disdainful expression, and her expression became solemn.
An Concubine Zhengse reminded: "Your Majesty, the good nobles had a miscarriage when they fell off the platform!"
Kangxi slapped on the desk, and when he touched it, even Zhao Yan was startled!
I only heard Kangxi roar angrily: "How did this kind of thing get into Zhong Cui Palace?!"
Bai Tan hurriedly reported: "Back to the emperor, there are roses in the dendrobium in the palace, which were personally taken from the flower room by the maid of the Flower Palace!
Hearing the name citron, Concubine Tong couldn't help but panic, but she pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "The emperor asked where the rose thorns came from?
Concubine Tong's behavior is undoubtedly too abnormal, of course the rose thorn came from the rose branch! She was so abnormal, Concubine An couldn't help but be suspicious, Kangxi also slipped suspicious in his cold eyes, and glanced at Concubine Tong coldly.
Concubine Tong was looked at so coldly, her face became more and more flustered, and she couldn't calm down at all.
Zhao Yan smiled secretly, Concubine Tong is really not a smart person, and this psychological quality alone is not qualified!
Only then did Bai Tan say: "The slave just went to check! Many big thorns on the rose branches are gone! I don't know who picked them!"
In order to match Bai Tan's words, Zhao Yan said: "That thorn is so sharp, if you pick the thorn, I'm afraid that most of it will stab your hand." Check all the palace maids in Zhong Cui Palace immediately, and maybe you will be able to get results. ”
Kangxi nodded, and directly instructed Hu Qingxi: "Don't go check it out yet!"
"Huh!"
It's just a matter of checking your hands for injuries and it's not time-consuming. But after a quarter of an hour, the citron was brought up.
At this moment, Concubine Tong was so panicked that her palms were sweating.
Hu Qingxi said: "There are three palace people with new scars on their hands, one is a eunuch in the dining room, who was stepped on and cut his finger, and the other is a fall and bruised the back of his hand. This citron is the only one whose finger has been pricked!"
The citron was already frightened like a frightened bird, she fell to her knees on the ground, and hurriedly explained: "The slave has always had rough hands and feet, and the stab wound on his hand was accidentally pricked when he went to the flower room to get roses!
Kangxi couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan frowned: "Concubine...... Didn't pay much attention to it. ”
Citron was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave is wronged! The slave really didn't pick those thorns!"
An Concubine said coldly: "But up and down the Zhongcui Palace, only you have a stab wound on your hand!!! It's not you, who else will it be?!"
Citron's face was as pale as dirt, and he only kept kowtowing, saying that he was wronged.
Concubine Tong's eyes were flustered, and she couldn't help but say, "Maybe it's the palace people outside the Zhongcui Palace......"
Concubine An immediately retorted: "There are so many pairs of eyes up and down the Zhongcui Palace, outsiders come in, want to enter the hall to pick thorns, and put them on the platform, how can no one have an idea?!
Zhao Yan couldn't help but praise her cousin's words!!! This analysis of her cousin said it for her, but it saved her tongue!
Bai Tan hurriedly made corroboration: "Niangniang went to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers in the afternoon today, and the slave saw that the citron stayed in the water lily tank for a long time!"
Citron wept tears and said: "The slave is to go to the beautiful dead branches and rotten leaves, and there is absolutely no flower thorn!! The slave is really wronged!"
Kangxi was a little impatient, so he said coldly: "No need to be tortured, it seems that you won't confess!" Li Dequan, immediately send the escort to the Shen Criminal Division for torture!"
Citron was so frightened that her face was pale, and she hurriedly shouted at Concubine Tong: "Concubine Niangniang save the minions!!"
