Chapter 453, Disaster Leads to the East
Where does the emperor know what herbs, looking at the black medicine residue in the porcelain bowl, he really can't see the problem. But several imperial doctors said that there was something wrong with this medicine residue, so there must be nothing wrong.
glared at the crown princess angrily, "Crown princess, do you have an explanation?" The emperor is quite reasonable, and he did not convict the crown princess as soon as he came up.
Lu Ruxue was about to speak, but saw Concubine Chen crawling forward with a worried face, "Please calm your anger." Even with a sad face on his face, there was a slight cry when he said it.
"Please don't blame the crown princess. The crown princess Xu was too worried about the emperor's eldest grandson, so she prepared the wrong medicine for a while, and the crown princess would never poison the emperor's eldest grandson, so please ask her father to investigate. ”
When you first hear this, you must think that this Concubine Chen is a good person. dared to stand up and intercede for the crown princess under the emperor's anger.
But only Lu Ruxue could hear that Concubine Chen's fluttering words were equivalent to condemning her. Lu Ruxue glanced at Mu Xuanyang, she was not in a hurry, she was waiting, waiting for this man to make a statement.
This palace is really a place to eat people and not spit out bones, and she doesn't like it very much. Now that she is tired and her son is poisoned, Lu Ruxue only hates that she can't leave with her son.
If Mu Xuanyang also believed in the words of Concubine Chen and doubted herself, then there would be no one worthy of her nostalgia in this palace. As soon as the matter was over, she planned to leave quietly.
Fortunately, Mu Xuanyang's reaction did not disappoint Lu Ruxue. I saw him take a step forward and glared at Concubine Chen, "The crown princess has superb medical skills, it is impossible to prepare the wrong medicine, Concubine Chen is talking nonsense." ”
"Father, this matter is complicated, there must be a hidden secret in it, and I ask my father to give his son an hour, and his son will definitely find out the truth. ”
The emperor glanced at the crown prince, and then looked at the crown princess with a cold face. The crown princess was pointed out by others, not only did she not dodge her eyes, but she even showed calmness in her eyes. "Is there really something unknown about this?"
After a moment of indecision, he turned his head to look at the queen. The queen nodded towards the emperor, "Just follow the prince, this matter is related to Ting'er's life, the prince is Ting'er's father, and he will definitely not indulge those who plot rebellion." ”
The concubine also believed that this matter had nothing to do with the crown princess. ”
"Thank you, mother!" The poison on her son's body had not been resolved, and Lu Ruxue did not want to consume it any longer, seeing that the emperor still refused to let go, she took a step forward and knelt in front of the emperor.
"Father, there is no problem with the daughter-in-law's medicine. The poisonous herbs in the dregs must have been secretly added by someone after the fact. In order to make the father and queen mother suspect their daughter-in-law. ”
"As for the poisonous snack, it didn't come from my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law made snacks early this morning. But instead of grated coconut, fruit is used as the filling. All of this is evidenced by man-made evidence. ”
"So these two pieces of desiccated coconut snacks must have been stolen by someone. In order to poison the emperor's eldest grandson and frame his daughter-in-law. ”
"The daughter-in-law is Ting'er's mother, and the tiger poison does not eat children, how could the daughter-in-law do such a thing. ”
And even if the daughter-in-law really has the intention of harming others, she will not poison the dim sum she makes. In that way, it is tantamount to covering your ears and stealing the bell. ”
"The father and the queen mother are both clear-minded people, and they will definitely not misunderstand their daughter-in-law as the villain's calculations. He also asked his father and mother to make decisions for his daughter-in-law to find out about the matter. ”
Mu Xuanyang's heart was already in turmoil, if it weren't for Ting'er being born to the crown princess, he wouldn't dare to guarantee that he would be so convinced of his wife.
After listening to his wife's words, he calmed down and thought carefully, "Father, what the crown princess said is very true. ”
"Before Erchen left Beiping and entered Beijing, he was infected with an epidemic in Huaiyuan County, and then the people in the north were poisoned. Every time, it is the crown princess who makes a move, which can save the day. ”
Therefore, Erchen believed that the decoction would have the effect of detoxification, and asked his father to believe in the crown princess. ”
"Since it's the dregs that are in question. Then this matter, Erchen immediately sent someone to investigate. Within an hour, he will give an explanation to his father. ”
"Well, since both the queen and the crown prince believe in the crown princess, then I will give you another chance. After listening to the crown princess's explanation, the emperor also felt that this matter was too strange.
"If you can cure the poison from Ting'er, I will not cure your sin. If you can't, even if you find out that you are being criticized for this matter, but the incident happened in the East Palace, and you, as the crown princess, are guilty of failing to investigate. ”
"The daughter-in-law will do her best. Thank you for your father and mother. Lu Ruxue knelt down and thanked her, then got up and took the medicine to expel the poison for her son.
And Mu Xuanyang also sent Ice Blade, Luo Cheng and others out. This matter must be investigated. If such people are allowed to stay in the palace, sooner or later, they will become a serious problem for their henchmen.
Concubine Chen framed several times, but she didn't want to end up and was reversed by the crown princess in a few words. No one even told her to get up, she knelt on the ground like a sinner.
No one looked at Concubine Chen's expression, and at this moment, only this woman understood in her heart that she was defeated.
Luo Cheng had just gone out for less than a quarter of an hour, and then walked back quickly. Behind him was followed by Bai Guang, the chief eunuch in the palace of the crown princess.
"Emperor Qiqi, queen, prince, this person is Bai Guang, the chief eunuch in the palace of the crown princess, when the slave went out to inquire just now, he was seeing him carrying a palace maid who was tied up with five flowers, waiting at the door. ”
"After asking, I found out that the poisonous medicine residue was the palace maid, who took advantage of people's inattention to participate in the medicine jar. was accidentally discovered by this Bai Guang and tied people up. Here's the proof. ”
Luo Cheng handed a somewhat dirty purse to Zheng He, the chief eunuch.
Is Bai Guang really discovered by chance? No one will pursue it, because that's not the point.
The emperor motioned for the envoy of the Imperial Hospital to come forward to inspect it, and the envoy of the Chen Hospital looked at it and nodded to make sure that the purse was indeed filled with the dregs.
"Bring people in, and I will interrogate them myself. Luo Cheng led the order to retreat, and soon saw the ice blade carrying a gagged, tied hands and feet of the little palace maid inside.
Throwing people to the ground, these people want to harm the crown princess, how can they show mercy to the ice blade.
Luo Cheng stepped forward and pulled off the gag cloth, the green dress of the palace maid was the most inferior sprinkler slave in the palace, and she usually couldn't see the emperor at all.
At this moment, seeing the emperor, the queen, and the crown prince glaring angrily, their limbs trembled with fright, and cold sweat flowed.
"Little palace maid, who gave you the courage to frame the crown princess. Say!"
Xiao Gong was so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits were not there, where could she still reply. rolled his eyelids and fell to the ground, but he was intimidated by the emperor and fainted to death.
"Wake up!" Luo Cheng ordered, picked up a bowl of cold tea, and poured it on his head. Seeing that the person still hadn't woken up, he knelt down, looked at the face of the little palace maid, opened the bow left and right, and slapped seven or eight times in a row.
Only then did I see that the little palace maid was crying out in pain, and opened her eyes with a spirit. The pain on my face is scorching, even if I am so scared that I want to faint, it is not easy.
