"Cheng Jinzhi, you keep saying that someone framed you, so what do you mean is that the queen deliberately blamed Concubine Hui?"

Originally, at this time, the person that Emperor Zhou wanted to pay attention to and interrogate should be Concubine Hui who was kneeling at the forefront, but because of Cheng Jinzhi's categorical words just now, Emperor Zhou has now temporarily put Concubine Hui aside and focused his attention on Cheng Jinzhi.

It's like saying, "Good, you've managed to get my attention." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Father's ......"

Seeing that Emperor Zhou seemed to be deliberately trying to embarrass Cheng Jinzhi, Concubine Hui and Gao Heng invariably wanted to intercede for Cheng Jinzhi, but were interrupted by Emperor Zhou's stern raising of his hand: "I am asking Cheng Jinzhi now, not you." ”

Cheng Jinzhi secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but now he is ready to send it. Anyway, now they don't have any evidence in their hands to prove the queen's evil deeds, if they tend to be weak in words, only promise, and dare not refute, it will make Emperor Zhou feel that they are thieves, and they will be more sympathetic to Queen Zhao, the "victim".

immediately raised his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, that's what the courtiers mean." ”

"Cheng Jinzhi, you have to know that this kind of red feather powder is medicine, but it is even more poison. Emperor Zhou took the medicine bottle in his hand and looked at it twice, after the diagnosis of Imperial Doctor Zhang, the queen was indeed poisoned, and now the whole person is emaciated because of the erosion of the poison. Could it be that she would have to live with her own life in order to frame a concubine?"

Emperor Zhou said the second half of the sentence abruptly aggravated his tone, and his eyes sharply looked at Cheng Jinzhi who was kneeling on the ground.

"Of course this is a bitter ploy, if she doesn't do this, she doesn't sacrifice a little, how can you believe it? She must have the antidote, and when the play is enough, are you still afraid that she won't take it for herself?"

Cheng Jinzhi thought silently in his heart, biting his lower lip and thinking about how to answer, and between the waves of his eyes, he suddenly thought of the bottle he had hidden on his body before, which Gu Hanqing gave as a New Year's gift, known as the "Nine Xuan Hundred Herbs Treasure Pill" that can cure all kinds of poisons.

"Why didn't you speak, didn't you speak very well just now?"

Just when she wanted to make some fuss about this bottle of medicine, Emperor Zhou's slightly displeased voice sounded in her ears again, Cheng Jinzhi panicked, his brain turned twice, and hurriedly replied.

"Your Majesty, it is well known that the mother concubine will personally make osmanthus brew and distribute it to the concubines in the harem at this time of year, if she blatantly poisons the osmanthus brew she makes, if it happens, wouldn't it be tantamount to self-exposure?

"There's some truth to what you say. Emperor Zhou nodded thoughtfully, a hint of discoloration appeared in his eyes, and raised his chin towards Cheng Jinzhi, "Go on." ”

And according to Imperial Physician Zhang, this kind of red feather scatter is taken from the wings of the red feather bird living in the Lingnan area as a medicine, which can be regarded as a very rare poison, and it is not a highly poisonous. If the mother concubine really wants to poison the queen mother, why don't you use that kind of deadly poison, and have to make trouble for yourself to use this hard-to-find red feather san, doesn't it seem too deliberate and too strange?"

"This poison may be difficult for others to obtain, but not necessarily for Concubine Hui. ”

At this moment, I saw that the prince suddenly walked out of the inner hall, and after saluting Emperor Zhou, he glanced at Gao Heng with a stern face.

In Cheng Jinzhi's view, it is really a hateful face of a villain.

"Prince, what are you doing here if you don't accompany your mother?"

"Back to my father, after my mother drank the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, she was already asleep at the moment. The prince replied respectfully, then turned his face to look at Concubine Hui, and pretended to be sad, "It's just that when Erchen thought that his mother was poisoned, and he was lying sick in bed waiting for the antidote at the moment, he was really sad and indignant in his heart, so he wanted to ask Concubine Hui, why did she do this?"

"Prince, about the poisoning of your mother, I will deal with it, and I will definitely give her justice. Emperor Zhou said a few words with a soothing expression, and then said with a puzzled face, "But what do you mean by what you said when you came just now?"

"Father doesn't know, the third brother's famous friend has a medicinal herb business at home, presumably no matter what rare medicinal materials are, there should be a way to get them, not to mention just this kind of red feathers?"

As soon as the prince's words came out, Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi were shocked, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in their hearts.

They really didn't expect that the prince would borrow poison and have something to do with Gu Hanqing.

Since Gu Hanqing is Gao Heng's friend, Concubine Hui naturally can't be contacted in the deep palace. If you want to get this kind of red feather, you must be brought into the palace through Gao Heng's hand.

In this way, the implication of the prince's words is that not only Concubine Hui is involved in this matter, but even Gao Heng is also involved, and it is inevitable that he will be involved.

Empress Zhao's move can be described as a plan to kill two birds with half the effort.

"Jujia friend?" Emperor Zhou raised his eyes slightly, "What are you talking about, but a few days ago, he was also deeply involved in the case of the prison of the Criminal Department, and the young master of the Gu clan in Quanzhou who was just pardoned and released in the past few days, Gu Hanqing?"

"Father is wise, this is the person. ”

"Your Majesty, all this is just speculation and conjecture made up by the crown prince out of nothing, and it can't prove anything at all!"

Seeing that he had finally moved Emperor Zhou before, but the prince suddenly jumped out at this time to stir up the situation, and slandered Gao Heng again and again, Cheng Jinzhi suddenly felt that his blood was surging, and he raised his voice.

"Princess Yan, don't get excited, you are like this, it is easy for people to think that you are a thief. The prince smiled slyly and said in a light tone, "That's right, no matter how you say that you are a family, if you conspire, it is not impossible." ”

"You ....."

This is the first time that Cheng Jinzhi has been choked by the prince and is speechless, if it weren't for Gao Heng raising his hand in time to pull her sleeve, she would have been so angry that she would have gotten up and pointed at the prince to scold her mother.

"Father, as Jin Zhi said before, there are still many doubts in this matter, and I ask my father to give his sons a few days to investigate this matter thoroughly, so as to give justice to the mother and the queen. ”

Gao Heng didn't pay attention to the prince's arrogant posture, but faced Emperor Zhou's words, his eyes were already frosty and snowy, and his whole body exuded a compelling cold.

Seeing Gao Heng pleading with Emperor Zhou, the prince was anxious, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Father, now that he has been stolen, it is enough to prove that Concubine Hui is harboring misfortune and wants to poison the queen mother, and the queen mother is still lying in bed and her life is in danger at any time, how can the father let the real murderer go unpunished?"

Looking at Gao Heng and the crown prince in front of him, Emperor Zhou couldn't help frowning a little embarrassed, and after being silent for a long time, he spoke: "As the prince said, no matter how you look at this matter, it is indeed the work of Concubine Hui, if you don't punish it first, it will indeed be difficult to convince the public....."

Hearing Emperor Zhou's words, Cheng Jinzhi knew that he had been biased towards the prince, and he couldn't think twice about it in a hurry, so he had to put his heart sideways and throw out the last hole card.

"Your Majesty, if the courtiers have a way to cure the poison of the queen's mother, can your majesty agree to give us two more days so that we can thoroughly investigate this matter and prove the innocence of Concubine Hui?"

Gong Zhec said

".................." This is Cheng Jinzhi's words that he wanted to scold the prince but didn't scold, please make up for it by yourself +_+ (reader: "Why is this author so boring??!! so angry, I really want to hit her t_t)
