Chapter 722: Sword Pointing at Jinyu
Because of the low status of the Qing nobles, there is no special dormitory, in her palace, there are two other concubines, after the two people saw Concubine De, they greeted them, crying and crying, looking like they were in deep love with the sister of the Qing nobles: "Sister Concubine De, you have to be the master of the Qing nobles!" She is now out of breath! ā
When these two people wanted to get closer, they were stopped by the people around Concubine De. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Whenever something happens to the concubines in this palace, the most suspicious person is the person who lives with her, if these two people are obviously also suspicious, Concubine De signaled that they would be escorted down first and interrogated strictly.
Yuan Jinyu was taken to the inner room by Concubine De, and Concubine Shu followed her in.
As for the other concubines, they are also rushing here when they hear the news, but it is too early now, so many concubines have not yet arrived.
After Yuan Jinyu entered the door, he saw Lin Qingyu who was sitting on the side, Lin Qingyu wanted to argue a few more words, but Concubine De had already ordered: "Kneel down for the palace!" ā
Lin Qingyu's position is not as high as Concubine De, so he can only kneel obediently at this time. After kneeling down, she said indignantly: "Sister Concubine De, please make the decision for the concubine!" The concubine has no grudges and no hatred with the noble people! ā
Concubine De looked at Lin Qingyu coldly: "No grudges and no hatred? Have you forgotten that the day before yesterday, you were still scolding her in the Imperial Garden? ā
Lin Qingyu gritted his teeth: "But the imperial doctor has already found out, and the poisoning should be earlier!" Besides, if the Qing nobles are really poisoned in the Light Rain Palace, then why are the concubines and Princess Ning fine? ā
Concubine De sat on the side, Yuan Jinyu was standing, and when she saw Concubine De, she replied coldly: "Maybe you took the antidote in advance?" ā
Yuan Jinyu also wanted to argue a few words, but Concubine De had already looked at her with great majesty: "Princess Ning, why don't you kneel?" ā
Yuan Jinyu was much more difficult to handle than Lin Qingyu, looked at Concubine De at this moment, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Why does the concubine kneel?" Qing nobles will be poisoned, and they have nothing to do with their concubines. ā
"You ......" Concubine De still wanted to show her identity to suppress people, but she saw Yuan Jinyu slowly walking to Lin Qingyu's side and helping Lin Qingyu up, and at the same time, Yuan Jinyu's eyes were also cold when she looked at her: "Besides, the matter has not been clarified yet, even if Concubine De wants the concubine to kneel, she must come up with evidence, otherwise, the concubine will not accept it." ā
Concubine De really wanted to put Yuan Jinyu there with her palm, but now Yuan Jinyu won't let her take half a step, if she really uses torture, even if it proves that Yuan Jinyu is a murderer in the future, then she will get a stain of bullying juniors.
Concubine Shu always stood beside Concubine De, looking at Yuan Jinyu's gaze obscure. Obviously, she has already made her words so clear, as long as Yuan Jinyu is willing to give in to herself, she can save her, but now she would rather face Concubine De by herself than consider herself.
Concubine Shu's teeth were clenched, and she felt that Yuan Jinyu owed a lesson. Since she still refuses to be soft, then she will persuade Concubine De to torture Yuan Jinyu.
Lin Qingyu stood beside Yuan Jinyu and glanced at Yuan Jinyu with great gratitude. Yuan Jinyu really has too many places that she can't compare. Under such a disadvantage, she can still win rights and interests for herself.
Yuan Jinyu saw that Concubine De didn't say anything anymore, so he turned his head and glanced at the Qing nobleman, sure enough, the Qing nobleman's face was like ashes now, if it weren't for the fact that his chest could still rise and fall slowly, it was estimated that he would be considered a dead person.
Concubine De looked at Yuan Jinyu and said coldly: "This palace has heard that this poison came from the southern Xinjiang. And this poisoning method is really unguardable. ā
A plate of lychees, if you test the poison, it is just for the palace maid to try one or two, and you can't peel off the skin and then take a bite of each one.
Such an insidious trick, Concubine De really doesn't know who came up with it.
Yuan Jinyu turned his head, and at this moment he had already let go of Lin Qingyu's hand, and at the same time looked at Concubine De: "I don't know what Concubine De Niangniang means?" Could it be that you want to say that this poison was brought back from southern Xinjiang by the concubine? Then when it was in the light rain palace, it was placed in the lychee and let the Qing nobles take it? ā
Concubine De snorted coldly and did not refute.
Yuan Jinyu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Everything must pay attention to a cause and effect, such a vicious poison, may I ask Niangniang, why did the concubine fall on the body of the noble person?" There are more concubines in this palace who want to kill their concubines, I'm afraid there are too many, right? Why did the concubine choose a concubine who was not favored at that time? Besides, the concubine entered the palace to serve the concubine, and to tell Zhaorong Niangniang what she had seen, if the noble person really died, what good would it do to the concubine? ā
What Yuan Jinyu said, Concubine De is actually difficult to refute, but she has seen winds and waves for so many years, and now she is naturally good at talking nonsense with her eyes open: "Princess Ning, I'm afraid you misunderstood this palace." I brought you here only because you were suspicious. Like the other two concubines living in this dormitory, can you say that they must be the ones who poisoned them? But now, they are still being interrogated. I hope you can cooperate and make everything clear in the past few days. ā
The imperial doctor entered the door with the medicine at this moment, but Qing Guiren was really too weak now to drink it at all.
Concubine De didn't look at the noble people from beginning to end, but was just confronting Yuan Jinyu.
After nearly half an hour, the concubines of several other palaces also came. Concubine Li was still standing by Concubine De's side, and Concubine Yuan asked Concubine De as if she was distressed when she saw Yuan Jinyu: "Sister Concubine De, is there something wrong?" Yesterday on the fifteenth day, I saw Jinyu in the imperial study, wasn't it okay at that time? ā
Concubine De also inquired about the emperor's movements, and knew that she had drunk the sour plum soup sent by these two people, so she was angry.
When Concubine Yuan mentioned this, she burned her anger even more on Yuan Jinyu.
Yuan Jinyu tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she didn't want to guess Concubine Yuan's mind anymore, she just lowered her head and waited for the results of the interrogation to come out.
There are many people who have been interrogated this time, and Concubine De is now the master of the harem, so it is naturally very convenient to interrogate people. Everything that is related to the poisoning of the noble people is the object of interrogation. For a while, the people in the palace were panicked.
Yuan Jinyu and Lin Qingyu insisted that they were not poisoned, and they didn't want to analyze anything with Concubine De.
During the waiting time, Concubine Shu became a little more and more unable to hold her breath, but Yuan Jinyu and Lin Qingyu slowly calmed down.
In the silent confrontation, Concubine De's eldest palace maid hurriedly ran in: "Niangniang, the interrogation has come out!" ā
"Come on, bring people up!"
After Concubine De finished giving the order, she glanced at Yuan Jinyu with some pride, but Yuan Jinyu still stood aside and turned her gaze to the door.
Two people were brought in, a palace maid and a eunuch. These two people are very face-to-face, and Yuan Jinyu has never seen them.
The two of them were on their knees at the moment, shivering. Yuan Jinyu seemed to smell the smell of blood mixed with the air, it should be Concubine De's people who tortured them.
Concubine De sat on a chair, with a sharp and luxurious armor cover on her nails, and her eyes were particularly majestic: "Tell everything you know, if there is half a lie, beware of losing your head." ā
The palace maid who spoke first glanced at Yuan Jinyu in fear, and then lowered her head and said: "The slave maid is the one who serves beside the Qing nobles, a few days ago, Princess Ning sent someone to find the slave maid and told the slave maid that the lychees in the Weiyu Palace are all special, and they can't be eaten in other palaces, if the Qing nobles go, you might as well taste them......"
Yuan Jinyu stared at her, feeling that this person was really making up more and more outrageous. Where is there anyone in the palace? Could it be Fandel?
Fan Dai is a subordinate, and during this kind of interrogation, they are all guarding outside the dormitory, and even Mama Li is not qualified to come in.
The palace maid spoke a little intermittently: "At that time, the slave maid didn't think much about it, so she mentioned it to Qing Guiren...... When the Qing nobles came back that night, they were quite happy, saying that they had not only eaten the lychees of the Weiyu Palace......" She said this, and glanced at Lin Qingyu very scared: "She also said that Zhaorong Niangniang likes her and is ready to ask the emperor to come and see her......"
As the little palace maid spoke, she choked up: "In fact, the slave maid also knows what happened in the imperial garden two days ago, Qing Guiren is a very good master, she just wants to get along with the emperor more, and there is absolutely no malicious desire to compete for favor......" Her cry became louder and louder, and finally there was a trace of resentment in her eyes: "Every time Qing Guiren goes to Cuiwei Palace, he doesn't dare to bring food, for fear that there will be problems, and the master never eats outside." Concubine De, you have to be the master of the master! If it weren't for Zhaorong Niangniang who deceived the master with rhetoric at that time, how could the master eat the things there! ā
As the little palace maid spoke, she kowtowed on the ground "bang", and blood oozed from her forehead not long after, and she was bruised and swollen: "This time it is also the slave's fault, if the slave doesn't believe the original person's words, it would be good!" ā
Concubine De looked at the other little eunuch again: "What about you, what's the matter?" ā
The little eunuch's body shook into a sieve: "Slave, the slave saw the princess Niangniang yesterday afternoon, and sent back the things that Niangniang originally stored here......"
"Oh? What's in there? Concubine De asked.
The little eunuch shook his head: "The slave doesn't know, but when Princess Ning left yesterday, she muttered to herself, saying that with this thing, she will definitely not be poisoned......"
Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but breathe a little heavier now. This little eunuch is too good at telling nonsense with his eyes open, right? Yesterday afternoon, I never went out in Cuiwei Palace!
Concubine De's eyes were sharp, and she asked rhetorically: "But what you two said is full of loopholes." First of all, you said that it was Princess Ning's person who sent you the message, is there any evidence? Where are people now? Moreover, that little eunuch, you said that Princess Ning met you, and the palace asked you, when and where, and if there were any other people around? And who are you Princess Ning, why would she store such an important thing with you? ā
