Chapter Ninety-Seven: The East Window Incident
Murong Yuhan seemed to have something hidden when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly, who instructed you?" ”
Wu's mother just kowtowed, and said vigorously: "The slave doesn't know, the girl only said to let the slave help her, otherwise she will kill the slave's husband and son, and the slave really has no choice, so she made this decision." ”
Murong Yuhan is also a smart person, thinking of the current situation, if he doesn't do it sooner or later, he just chooses to do it at this critical juncture, isn't he afraid that he will compete for the position of the prince, so he wants to strike first?
Murong Zheyuan, what a brother, are you so impatient?
"What does that girl look like? What are the characteristics? Murong Yu asked coldly.
Wu's mother thought for a while before she said: "I can't say the specifics clearly, goose egg face, although she wears regular clothes, she does things in a grand manner, but she looks like a person in the palace." By the way, she has a red mole on the back of her right hand. ”
Murong Yuhan pondered for a long time, first asked Wu Ma to be taken under guard, and then warned the maids and servants not to publicize the matter. After waiting for a while, I drank the boiled medicine and felt better, so I got up and went to the palace.
The emperor and the queen are in the Mingwen Palace, and Murong Yuhan naturally wants to go to the Mingwen Hall to meet him, so he asked for peace according to the etiquette system, turned his head to look at the queen, and said in a low voice: "The son has something important to return to the queen mother." ”
The queen waved her hand, and the palace people who were waiting went down, and Murong Zheyuan only then did he understand in detail that he had been poisoned.
When the queen heard this, she was furious and couldn't help but say: "The emperor just fell ill, are they so impatient, not to mention worrying about the emperor's illness, but thinking of ways to harm people and seize the throne." I know, I'll definitely find out the truth about this. Doubts will clear up when the facts are known. ”
Without further ado, the queen left the people of the palace to serve the emperor. Then immediately rushed to Concubine Jin's palace, Concubine Jin hadn't gotten the information that Murong Yuhan had entered the palace, and was talking to the maid, when suddenly the news of the queen's arrival came, she hurriedly greeted her and said with a sad face: "The concubine sees the queen, why did the queen come over, has the emperor's condition improved?" ”
The queen said: "The emperor is seriously ill, and the dragon is restless. I don't want anyone to start making trouble. ”
Concubine Jin's face couldn't hold anymore, and her knees couldn't help but soften a little, but she still said stiffly: "What does the queen mean by this, the concubine can't understand it." ”
The queen snorted coldly, but said with a smile: "You don't understand? I'm afraid you don't understand why the third prince is still alive and hasn't been poisoned by you yet! ”
When Concubine Jin heard this, she couldn't stand still, and the maid hurriedly held on, but the queen said coldly: "Concubine Jin." Concubine Jin, I don't want you to design to poison other princes in order for your son to seize the throne, you are really vicious! ”
Concubine Jin still insisted on it: "Queen Mother." You said that the concubine murdered the three princes, is there any evidence? ”
The queen said: "Of course there is, the third prince has already explained it to me." I thought that it was you who instructed your maid to collude with the cook in the Three Princes' Mansion, Wu Ma. Then he controlled Wu's mother's husband and son, and forced Wu's mother to do things for you. Fortunately, Wu's mother is timid. Only a little bit of medicine was given, and the third prince took little food at noon, so he barely escaped the catastrophe and was not poisoned by your design. The facts are so clear that you can't deny it. ”
Concubine Jin retorted: "The queen is too arbitrary, it's just a one-sided statement of the three princes, how can you be gullible, the concubines still have to say that the three princes pretended to be poisoned, instructed the servants in the house, and framed the concubines." ”
The queen was lazy to reason with Concubine Jin, and instructed the people around her: "Come on, escort Concubine Jin's maid to the Punishment Division, and interrogate her strictly. ”
Concubine Jin was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Queen, if the matter has not been clarified, how can you casually detain and interrogate the concubine's maid?" ”
The queen glanced at Concubine Jin coldly, and said, "After the interrogation, who is right and who is wrong, the truth will naturally be revealed." If your maid refuses to die, then the palace believes that you really did not do it. ”
After saying this, several palace people stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Jin's maid and dragged them to the Shen Punishment Division. The queen looked at the panicked Concubine Jin, and said lightly: "Concubine Jin, as for you, just think about it in your own palace!" ”
Department of Caution.
A few housekeepers were used to torturing people, and when they saw someone coming, and heard that it was the queen's personal will, they were even more dedicated, first tied the maid of the Jin Concubine to the wooden pillar, clamped it with a bamboo clip, and said sharply: "Girl, when you come to us, it is better to confess obediently, so as not to suffer some flesh and skin in vain." ”
When Concubine Jin's maid hesitated, her ten fingers were already painful, and because of the pain, her mouth was just shouting and screaming.
"You can't recruit or not, you quickly say, what crimes have you committed, confess quickly, don't waste our strength. We've worked hard, and you're going to have to suffer a little bit, but in the end you still have to confess, so why not be happy. ”
A whip was whipped on the maid of Concubine Jin, and the maid of Concubine Jin fainted in pain, and the grandmother of the Shen Criminal Division was ruthless, how could she have the slightest pity, and immediately a scoop of cold water rushed to her face.
But after an hour's work, Concubine Jin's maid couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a faint breath: "I'll move, I'll move." ”
A grandmother sneered: "Very good, that's right, if you recruit early, you will suffer less." ”
The queen listened to the report and learned that the poisoning of the third prince was indeed instigated by Concubine Jin, and she was furious, and heard that Concubine Shu had a miscarriage that day, and Concubine Jin also made a hindrance from it, and also designed to blame Zhaoyun, and her face changed greatly.
Looking at the three things in front of her, white silk, poisonous wine, and dagger, Concubine Jin sighed and said with a wry smile: "Yuan'er, mother originally wanted to find a good future for you, but she didn't expect that it would affect you after all." ”
After drinking a glass of poisonous wine, Concubine Jin died in Huangquan.
Ning Huan Palace.
Concubine Shu and Liu Zhaoyi came together, and after listening to the report, Zhaoyun personally greeted her, and said with a slight smile: "The two sisters are here, come into the house." ”
When she entered the house, Concubine Shu said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I only found out today that I blamed you for it." ”
Liu Zhaoyi also said: "Yes, who would have thought that Concubine Jin would be such a scheming person, if it weren't for the poisoning of the third prince, the Prudential Criminal Department strictly interrogated and found out the matter, I don't know that my sister was so wronged." ”
Zhaoyun smiled lightly: "The matter has passed, and that's it, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, our sisters are still the same as before." ”
Concubine Shu sighed in a low voice: "Alas, the emperor is seriously ill, but I am afraid that he will die soon, what are your plans?" ”
Zhaoyun lowered his head and said: "What can you do, keep this loneliness, and the old death palace is fine." ”
Liu Zhaoyi persuaded: "My sister is too pessimistic, what is the old death palace, we should always have some other thoughts." ”
Zhaoyun looked up at Liu Zhaoyi and asked in a low voice, "If the emperor is gone, what else can we think?" (To be continued.) )
