Chapter 117: Exploration
Where did Xia Xing dare to delay things, and hurriedly went out to call people, and after a while, the people in the imperial dining room were brought up.
It was a man, and three palace maids.
"Your Majesty, the people from the imperial dining room have brought it." Xia Xing said.
Shangguan Yichen and Xia Ran hadn't left yet, they were both standing on the side of Ruiyu Palace.
"You said that the queen went to Ruiyu Palace, but is there any evidence?"
Those four people, you look at me, I look at yours, and their faces are all a little panicked.
"Say!" Seeing them like this, Leng Yexuan was angry, and he didn't care about anything, and his tone was even more aggressive.
"If you go back to the emperor, the minion, the minion has seen the queen." The man fell to his knees with a thud and said tremblingly.
Leng Yexuan stared at him, his disc face was dark and rough.
Xia Xing understood Leng Yexuan's mind the most, so he said in a low voice:
"He is the master in charge of pastries in the imperial dining room, and the three palace maids are all for him."
Leng Yexuan nodded, signaling that he knew.
"When and where did you meet the Queen? If there is any untruth, I will punish you nine clans. ”
Although Leng Yexuan is not an iron-blooded faint king, it is impossible for anyone to calm down when they encounter such a thing.
A small castor bean killed the child in the belly of the noble man and the emperor. One. Root. Read. The sister-in-law born after the novel xstxt has pulled the current queen into it. No matter who the person who did it was, Leng Yexuan felt that her mind was extremely vicious. Even a little child refused to let go.
"If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother went to the imperial dining room three days ago, that is, the day before the second prince was poisoned." The man took a deep breath, his tone solemn, but true. "At that time, the queen said that the five princes had a bad appetite these days, so she asked the servants to take some horseshoe powder and make the soft and glutinous horseshoe cake for the five princes to eat."
Leng Yexuan tilted his head, he knew about this.
In those days, Lin'er kept crying, and Xia Ni was sad. I don't know who said that water chestnut cake can soothe the stomach, so I went to find it myself.
In this way, the queen did go to the imperial dining room that day.
"I know that." Cold Night Xuan's jaw. "It's just, what does it have to do with water chestnut powder and castor beans, are you a fool when I am going to do it?"
"Your Majesty, the servants don't dare to deceive the emperor, let alone frame the queen." The imperial chef knelt down and kowtowed, for fear of implicating himself. After the queen left, the minions found that the castor beans they had prepared were missing. At first, I thought it was put there and I don't remember, but who knew that something like that would happen. ”
This imperial chef is very smart, he didn't say that Xia Nishang took the castor at all. However, the meaning of the words is that except for the queen mother, no one else has the opportunity to contact castor at all. It deepened Leng Yexuan's suspicions.
"Your Majesty, if the emperor doesn't believe it, but ask Xiao Tao, what the slave said is true."
"Who's Momo?"
Leng Yexuan raised his eyebrows, things didn't develop according to what he thought at all, this matter seemed to be easy to understand, but in fact it was a trap step by step.
"The slave's name is Little Peach." Behind the imperial kitchen, a palace maid with low eyebrows and obedient eyes slowly knelt down.
Her voice was low, trembling a little from fear.
"You saw the queen too?"
"The slave maid was standing behind the master at the time, and she happened to see the queen mother pointing at the sister next to Castor Punching." Xiao Tao didn't dare to look up, but whispered. "The slave didn't dare to make a noise, for fear of being discovered by the queen."
The tears on the little peach's face seemed to be just a frightened little girl.
"You've seen the queen too?" Leng Yexuan questioned the two people who didn't speak. As soon as the two of them entered, they stood behind with their hands down, and they didn't look up, so they couldn't see the look on their faces at all.
"The slave only saw the queen mother enter the imperial dining room." One of the women in a bean-green palace dress said.
"Slave, slave, slave and maid didn't see anything, didn't see anything."
The last palace maid somehow suddenly raised her head, looked frightened, and shouted.
"Presumptuous, how can you be wild here?" Xia Xing reprimanded angrily.
It's just that the little palace maid didn't listen to Xia Xing's words and quieted down, but instead choked her throat with her hand and let out a terrifying whining.
Xia Xing was taken aback, and Shangguan Yichen on the side saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't care about any rules and etiquette, so he hurriedly ran forward. It's just that it's too late.
The little palace maid foamed at the mouth, her eyes were straight, and she was powerless to return to the sky.
"What's going on!!" Leng Yexuan's brows tightened, and the anger on his face appeared from time to time, as if he was about to explode.
Shangguan Yichen sighed, stood up and stepped forward to say.
"Back to the emperor, I should have taken arsenic before I came, and now I have died of poison."
Shangguan Yichen shook his head, Leng Yexuan's face became worse and worse, and Leng Jun seemed to be able to drip water.
Xia Xing also felt that his body was cold, it seemed that things were very unfavorable to the queen, and he should find an opportunity to go to Qifeng Palace.
It's just that now is not the time to think about these things, the important thing is to carry the little palace maid out first, and die in the Ruiyu Palace, I am afraid that it will be unlucky.
Thinking like this, Xia Xing went to push open the door of Ruiyu Palace, wanting to call someone in.
However, as soon as the door was opened, a dazzling sunlight shone in, like a bright pearl, illuminating the originally somewhat gloomy hall.
"Wait a minute!"
Leng Yexuan frowned, and when the sunlight shone in, something seemed to flash in the sleeve of the little palace maid.
"Your Majesty?" Xia Xing was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Leng Yexuan above.
"Look what's in her cuff."
Leng Yexuan's face was expressionless, only a pair of sword eyebrows were tightly locked together. Xia Xing looked at Shangguan Yichen, and then stepped forward and looked at the palace maid's sleeve.
I saw that Xia Xing didn't know what he had discovered, his face changed in vain, and a gray color appeared on his face.
"Bring it on!"
Leng Yexuan waved his hand, where was there room for Xia Xing to be in a daze.
Xia Xing's hands trembled even more this time, and he didn't know what he was silently thinking in his heart, so he slowly walked towards it. This time, the pace is even slower.
"Your Majesty." Xia walked in front of Leng Yexuan, and before he could say anything, he was dragged over by Leng Yexuan.
Leng Yexuan held the object in his hand and gently spread out his palm.
It is a jade pendant, a bright red Yingluo, and a piece of Hetian warm jade underneath. The tentacles are warm and creamy.
It was a congratulatory gift sent by Murong Yimeng when Xia Ni was sealed.
Xia Nishang likes it very much, wears it on her body every day, and never refuses to put it down.
Leng Yexuan's face was even more bad, and his hands were lowered, as if he was enduring something.
Seeing this, Xia Xing dared to speak, so he had to stand aside resignedly.
A few people in the hall didn't know what was going on at all, they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of annoying Leng Yexuan and ending up dead.
Leng Yexuan's brows became tighter and tighter, and Shangguan Yichen secretly screamed that it was not good, and he wanted to say something.
saw Xia Xing above shaking his head lightly at him. Shangguan Yichen blinked, looking at it, Xia Xing had returned to his original low-hanging appearance.
It's just that Shangguan Yichen's heart sank, but he swallowed back what he was about to say.
Everyone in the palace knows that Queen Xia Nishang has always been good friends with Zhen and the eldest emperor Ji Leng Ye Yuewu. The emperor has just issued an order to marry Leng Yeyuewu and Shangguan Yichen, and he has long been classified as the queen's party.
At this time, the reckless opening will not only not make Leng Yexuan sober, but may backfire, thinking that Xia Nishang is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Shangguan Yichen also thought of this, his lips were slightly pursed, but he didn't speak.
Leng Yexuan clutched the jade pendant tightly, his mind was flying, it was not that he didn't believe Xia Nishang, but the facts were just in front of him, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
What if this incident was really done by Xia Nishang?
Leng Yexuan asked herself secretly, and found that she couldn't find any reason to argue for her.
Starting from the okra soft cake, one ring after another, interlocking, no matter who stands here, there may be no way to believe Xia Nishang's innocence.
The corners of Leng Yexuan's eyes twitched, but his hand was gently released.
"Xia Xing, pass the queen."
Leng Yexuan's voice was a little depressed, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.
Xia Xing was shocked when he heard this, and Leng Yexuan summoned the queen's mother, which means that he believed that this matter was done by the queen.
In fact, with so much evidence in front of him, Xia Xing just didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't.
His head hung lower, and Nono's should have been to walk out.
"Your Majesty, there are still many doubts about this matter, and it may not be the queen's mother."
When Shangguan Yichen heard those six words, he didn't control it, and said to Leng Yexuan.
Leng Yexuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the few people standing on the ground.
Except for Shangguan Yichen, they all lowered their heads, only him, with a dignified and disbelieving face.
In Leng Yexuan's mind, I don't know why, I suddenly remembered something.
When I was in the palace of the noble people, I heard her jokingly say that Lord Shangguan often went to Qifeng Palace to give the queen a safe pulse, and the two of them were more like old friends, talking and talking.
Leng Yexuan's heart tightened, and when he looked at Shangguan Yichen's eyes, he was a little more cold.
At that time, he didn't care, as a doctor, his parents also cared. It's just that now looking at Shangguan Yichen's eager expression, I don't know why, Leng Yexuan actually believed what Zhou Yanling said.
For a while, his thoughts flew wildly, but he was even more angry. The hand was clenched again, as if to crush the jade pendant.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Xia Xing, I asked you to bring the queen! ”
Leng Yexuan waved his hand, not letting Shangguan Yichen continue, while his eyes were staring at Xia Xing fiercely.
Xia Xing's body shook, he couldn't care about it anymore, and hurriedly went to Qifeng Palace.
