Chapter 107: The Murderer (Part II)
When the queen's words fell, Zhu Yanxi also saw the smile in Concubine Xiaxian's eyes, and Concubine Yu also stopped crying and looked at the queen and the queen mother in a daze.
Sure enough, the queen said to Zhu Yan: "Zhu Gongzheng, since this three-leaf hairpin has already solved the truth, this palace believes that this musk should also come out, right?" What's more, since Zhu Gongzheng knows about this three-leaf hairpin, he must also solve the mystery of the death of his sister in the palace, right? β
"Please also mother, don't be impatient!" Zhu Yanxi tilted his head and smiled at the queen, "This musk is very easy to check, because musk is a forbidden product in the palace, and coincidentally, this hospital only introduced a new musk a few days ago, this musk is not unusual, but ~"
Zhu Yanxi looked at everyone, deliberately sold the guanzi, and stopped.
"But what!" Concubine Li was anxious and asked hurriedly.
Zhu Yanxi shook his head, "However, there is no record of this musk being used by anyone, so this musk that appeared in the Shuyu Palace of the noble concubine is intriguing." β
"No one to pick it up?" The queen frowned, "Since no one has used it, how can you appear in this Shuyu Palace?" β
"Then it can only be stolen~" Zhu Yanxi said lightly about his conjecture, "However, the person who stole this thing would never have imagined that this musk was originally a new variety of medicine dispensed by the Tai Hospital, and the adulterated things in it could not be washed off without ten days and half a month." β
Mu Concubine also interjected at this moment, "Since this is the case, then, the Tai Hospital must have a way to check out, who has touched this thing?" β
Concubine Mu's words made Zhu Yanxi nodded, "What Concubine Mu said is extremely true, but there are too many people in this harem, and my palace director does not have such a big right, but he makes this decision." β
"What's so difficult about this~" The queen raised her head, "Ziqin, pass on the will of the palace, everyone, waiting outside the palace, one by one, according to the requirements of the palace Zhengsi, give the palace a thorough investigation!" This palace wants to see who it is who has such a big courage! β
"Yes! Empress! Ziqin Fu retreated, but Zhu Yan regretted, but did not make this atmosphere, silent, I saw her walk to the center, and said to the queen: "Now, who is this musk, it only takes time, as for this three-leaf hairpin, the lower official also asked the queen to forgive me, and the lower official concealed the three-leaf hairpin, another thing that fell." β
The queen raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What is it? β
"A piece of gold, belonging to the harem." Zhu Yanxi raised her eyes, and sure enough, she saw the Queen Mother's displeasure and panic, only to see the Queen Mother glance at Mama Yun, and Mama Yun lowered her head.
"Isn't it just a piece of gold, what can it prove?" The Queen Mother pursed her lips, obviously, she was very displeased with Zhu Yanxi's words and behavior, didn't she say that there was only a three-leaf hairpin? If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have saved Concubine Yu in such a cooperative way, and now, what kind of medicine is this Zhu Yanxi selling.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know, this gold seems to be inconspicuous, but, among them, there is no other organ~ If it weren't for the prince reminding the lower officials, I'm afraid that this other person would have to run away." The smile on Zhu Yanxi's lips made the Queen Mother unhappy no matter how she looked at it.
"The mourning family wants to know, what else can be done with this gold, Zhu Gongzheng is today, frequently selling off the guanzi, if you can't find out what the mourning family wants, I'm afraid, your palace is going to be buried with you!" The words are threatening, the queen mother at this moment, where is the usual kindness, and such a queen mother also made the other concubines a little shocked.
In their memories, the Queen Mother is kind and kind, even if she is angry, she has never been like this, hideous.
Mu Concubine, who was located next to Concubine Yu, said in a very small voice that only Concubine Yu and herself could hear, "Look at the posture of the Queen Mother, I don't know, I thought that the Queen Mother was very attentive to Sister Yu, alas~"
Hearing Concubine Mu's sigh, Concubine Yu frowned, "Sister Concubine Mu is innocent, what do you sigh!" β
"Alas, Sister Yu doesn't know, my sister is sighing for her sister and herself, this concubine, I don't know what means I used, the emperor doesn't say it, even the queen mother takes special care." Mu Concubine shook her head, "Yesterday, my sister also saw that the Queen Mother was like a county lord of Yunqi, and took care of Concubine Li in every way, if my sister or sister can have the care of the Queen Mother, where do I still need to be bullied and framed like this?" β
Mu Concubine looked at Concubine Yu's expression, with loneliness, "Now that my sister is pregnant, I am also afraid that she will follow in the footsteps of her sister, and I don't know who it is, so I can't tolerate my sister~"
Mu Concubine's words, Ling Yu Guifei clenched her fists tightly, looked at Concubine Li on the other side with a calm and happy face, and stroked her stomach, she was crazy with jealousy, why, she enjoyed the benefits of a fisherman.
At this end, it was the whispers of Mu Concubine and Yu Guifei, and at that end, the queen also hooked the corners of her mouth, "The queen mother speaks like this, but it's not appropriate, in this harem, it is not easy to investigate and deal with the case, and the whole body is moved, Zhu Gong is cautious, and the palace feels that there is nothing wrong with it." β
"Zhu Yanxi is your sister's child, the queen protects her short, will the mourning family not know?" The Queen Mother's voice has improved a lot.
Different from the queen mother's anger, Na Xin'er did maintain the proper bearing, and if she was angry and didn't pay for her life, she slowly spit out, "The queen mother's status is noble, you should understand that this thing can be eaten indiscriminately, and words can't be said indiscriminately, now that the palace is in charge of the phoenix seal, all the affairs of the harem are naturally handled by the palace, and the queen mother's words, isn't it going to disturb the order of the harem?" β
For Na Xin'er's counterattack, the queen mother's face at this moment was really red with anger, this Na Xin'er's words, how could she not know that this damn queen actually took out the status of the master of the harem to suppress herself.
It's just that the queen mother hasn't eased her anger, so she was excited by the queen again, only to see Na Xin'er wave her handkerchief, "Besides, this Yan Xi's palace position is not given by the palace, but because the queen mother privately agreed to Prince Wuhe's request, so that the emperor is not good, so Yan Xi Gongzheng was promised, but also to avoid suspicion, is it that the queen mother has doubts about the emperor's will?" β
At this moment, the color on the queen mother's face is very exciting, she originally wanted to give the queen a hat to protect her saliva, so as to make the harem concubines dissatisfied, but now, she is herself, and she is not a person inside and outside.
In the palace division, how many of them are placed by the palace concubines and concubines, and they are always thinking about being promoted, isn't the queen's words pushing herself to the forefront? This Na Xin'er, when was she so bold?
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes, she knew that Na Xin'er's hatred for herself had never weakened, but over the years, she Na Xin'er had also walked on thin ice in the harem step by step for the camp, even if she had opinions about herself, she didn't dare, so blatantly sneering at herself, what kind of calculation did this today's queen make?
"Zhu Gongzheng, you just check you to the ground, and explain them carefully one by one." The queen looked at Zhu Yanxi with a look of encouragement.
"Yes!" Zhu Yanxi responded, and Mu Concubine, puzzled, looked at the queen and Zhu Yanxi, Zhu Yanxi's suspicion of the queen is definitely not fake, it's just that in today's situation, she is confused, but since Zhu Yanxi wants to provoke Concubine Yu's dissatisfaction with the queen mother, she naturally should go all out, why do you want to do this, I'm afraid, it will be revealed in a while.
"The masters of the harem may not know that the money issued to the master is marked, right?" Zhu Yanxi looked at the masters of the palaces with a smile, and sure enough, everyone was at a loss and shook their heads.
Zhu Yanxi chuckled, "Actually, if it wasn't for the prince to mention it, the lower officials wouldn't know, after all, this idea, in addition to the current emperor, other craftsmen have also been ordered to keep their mouths shut." β
"In that case, Lord Wang, how can you know!" Concubine Li sneered, "Is it possible, the prince of the dome has bad intentions?" β
"Hmph~" Tuoba Yuanqiong snorted coldly, "In terms of grace, who can compete with the king's concubine?" This secret comes from this idea, and it was created by this princess! β
Tuoba Yuanqiong's words, naturally no one dares to say anything, this harem, except for Li Concubine, no one dares to be disrespectful to Tuoba Yuanqiong between the lines.
"Yuan Qiong, in that case, how can this be explored?" The queen smiled lightly, with softness, and looked at Tuoba Yuanqiong.
"It's very simple, you only need to try it in the cast iron room to know, the things that the mother concubine made out, this king is very skilled, these gold nuggets, but they all have the names of each palace, and the records of rewards are not obvious?" Tuoba Yuanqiong's sword eyebrows were raised lightly, and he stood up, "The queen mother wants to move?" β
"Since that's the case, it's going to be a hard trip for Yuanqiong~" The queen nodded and stood up, and the group also hurried to the cast iron room, only to see Tuoba Yuanqiong skillfully, threw a piece of gold into it, and pinched the time, hurriedly threw the gold nugget into the cold water.
is the queen mother, with a dignified face.
When the palace man took out the gold nugget, Tuoba Yuanqiong just nodded, wrapped the gold nugget with silk, and walked back to the palace boss.
Everyone looked at each other, but Zhu Yan regretted it, but secretly hooked the corners of his mouth, this Tuoba Yuanqiong was moved out, and it could really save a lot of things.
At this moment, the queen can only follow Tuoba Yuanqiong, take the palace concubines, and return to the palace Zhengsi.
Seeing everyone walking in one after another, Tuoba Yuanqiong pursed his lips, "Queen Mother, Erchen thinks that except for the masters of the palace, everyone else should go out and accept the review of this hospital~"
Tuoba Yuanqiong's sudden words, naturally, also implied that the words in this gold nugget, the people and things involved, should not be revealed in front of the palace people.
The queen and the concubines of the harem naturally didn't understand, and nodded one after another, and with the queen's sign, the palace people also retreated.
"Yuan Qiong, what exactly is the word, and why, do you need to be so careful?" The queen looked at Tuoba Yuanqiong and asked the concubines their doubts.
"The queen mother will know by looking at it~" Tuoba Yuanqiong unwrapped the wrapped gold, and the word Yide appeared in front of everyone!
In the air, several gasping sounds sounded in the main hall of this palace, and Concubine Xiaxian's face was full of smiles, and Mu Concubine and the others were in disbelief, staring at the word Yide, Yide, that is the name of the current queen mother!
Zhu Yanxi lowered his head, he naturally understood that this thing could not prove anything, but since this was already the case, the person who hoped that he would uncover the truth would inevitably make some moves.
Sure enough, Concubine Xia Xian suddenly smiled happily, and this smile was also incomprehensible.
"Queen Mother, haven't you thought that this Skynet will be restored and not leaked, right? Hehe, it's really not in vain to waste the concubine, and she specially left a clover hairpin. "Concubine Xiaxian's words are even more surprising, this three-leaf hairpin turned out to be deliberately dropped by Concubine Xiaxian!
"Concubine Xian, what nonsense are you talking about!" The queen scolded for a while, but Concubine Xia Xian turned a deaf ear and pointed at the queen mother and said, "What? The Queen Mother has the ability to force Yun'er to death, so she doesn't have the courage to tell me your reason? β
"Just by virtue of this, do you want to slander the mourning family?" The Queen Mother stared at Concubine Xia Xian coldly, "There are so many rewards from the mourning family, casually, it can be a gold nugget from the mourning family, Concubine Xian thinks that with this, you can frame the mourning family?" Besides, you are just the princess of Chunju Country and Qin, no matter what, don't mourn for your own identity, how can you blame! β
"The Queen Mother, if people don't know what to do unless they do, today, if the Queen Mother still thinks that things are in your hands, it would be funny, does the Queen Mother think that the concubine left a hairpin, didn't she think about collecting evidence of the Queen Mother's crimes?" Concubine Xia Xian shook her head, the smile on her face was sarcastic, "Besides, this son of heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the concubine is not a person who forgets her duty!" β
"In that case, the mourning family wants to see what you can come up with!" The Queen Mother hooked the corners of her mouth, obviously she was very fearless about herself, but...
Ziqin's voice came from outside the hall, "Queen Mother! β
"Come in!" The queen said in a deep voice.
I saw Mama Yun's eyes flickering, and she was brought in by Ziqin, and the Queen Mother's face was finally not so calm, and then look at Mama Yun's hand, it was gray and white, obviously, it was the same color as what the hospital said, after being contaminated with musk, it must be in the potion.
"The queen mother's life!" Mama Yun cowered and knelt in the middle, and Concubine Yu Guifei didn't believe it, Musk was actually Mama Yun's hand!
At this moment, Mu Concubine also shook her head: "Unexpectedly, it is actually Mama Yun, this Mama Yun is so vicious, Sister Yu, have you ever offended Mama Yun?" β
Yu Guifei held the hand of the chair handle, trembling slightly, she was really naΓ―ve, this queen mother, really unreliable, what to say that the emperor has a dislike for her, and the emperor can't find out that she is close to her, and that head, for Li Concubine, is indeed favored in every way, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, Li Concubine, how can she get the emperor's infinite favor, just like the imperial concubine, it's just a stand-in!
At this moment, Concubine Yu gritted her teeth secretly, she was really stupid, now, I am afraid that I will give up my chess piece for the sake of Concubine Li, thinking of what Zhu Yanxi asked herself in Shuyu Palace, Concubine Yu's distrust of the Queen Mother became deeper and deeper.
Concubine Yu felt bitter in her heart, in this harem, there are many bitter hatreds with herself, but she forgot that the queen mother's brother died in the hands of her father by mistake, she is really stupid, it is estimated that this queen mother has never forgotten it.
Mu Concubine also sighed on the side, "Now, my sister is also a mother, my sister knows that my sister is uncomfortable, I believe that the queen mother will definitely give her sister an explanation, even if it is the queen mother, she can't be alone, sister relax."
Listening to Concubine Mu's words, looking at Mama Yun kneeling on the ground, thinking of the child she was about to give birth, the child who was about to give birth, and finally became pregnant with the child of the person she loved the most, the pain in Concubine Yu's heart was irrepressibly throbbing.
Yes, that is the queen mother, the emperor's biological mother, this person, no matter how big the mistake is, what can the queen do, this Mu concubine, she is really naΓ―ve to think about it, but if the queen mother's crime is known by the emperor, it will be different, holding the edge of the chair tightly, Concubine Yu already has a plan in her heart.
"Mama Yun, you want this palace to spare your life, but you tell this palace what do you have, you need this palace's forgiveness!" The queen looked at Mama Yun with an angry face.
"Mama Yun!" The Queen Mother also said loudly, but before she could say anything, she was choked back by Concubine Yu's words.
"Queen Mother, the concubine thinks that Mama Yun is the confidant of the Queen Mother, and now, the Queen Mother is not suitable to speak, lest the reason for this beginning and end be revealed!" Concubine Yu looked at the Queen Mother's eyes with deep hatred, and this look made the Queen Mother secretly panic.
"What Concubine Yu said is reasonable, and the palace also thinks that the queen mother is still not suitable to speak now~" The queen mocked, glanced at the queen mother, and then said to Mama Yun: "Mama Yun, you'd better explain it to the palace, otherwise, this matter of the nine clans, anytime, anywhere, waiting for Mama Yun and your family." β
"The old slave doesn't dare, it's just that the old slave is just acting according to orders, and she also asks the queen to make a promise to the old slave to spare the old slave from dying!" Mama Yun bargained, begging for a chance to live.
The queen's eyebrows gathered slightly, showing her displeasure at the moment, "Mama Yun, is this a deal with this palace?" β
Saturated and majestic voice, Mama Yun hurriedly kowtowed, "The old slave doesn't dare, the mother is angry!" β
"I know that I want my mother to calm my anger, so I don't hurry up and explain!" Concubine Xia Xian looked at Mama Yun with disdain.
"Yes!" Mama Yun trembled and narrated to everyone about this musk. "The queen mother, the musk of the concubine is the queen mother's mother to let the old slave, the queen mother said, if the rain concubine gives birth to a dragon heir again, I am afraid that she will have to break free from the control of the queen mother, if so, it is better to ask her, stillborn!"
"You talk nonsense!" The Queen Mother was furious, how could her own henchmen be like this, framing herself! It's just that the queen mother's anger at this moment will only make people feel that it is just annoyance and anger, the queen glanced at the queen mother, and said to Mama Yun, "So, how did you get musk?" β
"Back to Niangniang, the queen mother is unwell, the old slave goes in and out of the hospital, how dare the doctors be disrespectful to the old slave, the old slave only says that the queen mother wants to find medicinal materials, and it is not difficult to take the sheep by hand." Mama Yun lowered her head and said.
Mama Yun's words did not have the slightest loophole, and the queen also signaled Ziyun to bring the records of the Tai Hospital, and sure enough, a few days before Yu Guifei slipped the tire, Mama Yun did go to the Tai Hospital to get the medicinal materials, such a coincidence, which confirmed Mama Yun's words.
"So, can Mama Yun recognize this gold?" The things that the Queen Mother rewarded, only such a heavy amount of gold, were only given to Mama Yun, at this moment, Mama Yun shook her head, "Back to Niangniang's words, the Queen Mother has rewarded the old slave a lot, how can the old slave recognize it?" β
Zhu Yanxi smiled and saluted the queen, "Queen Mother, the lower officials think that it is Mama Yun who should be asked, have you ever known how this lady of General Zhu's mansion, Na Yun'er, died!" β
And everyone also saw that when Zhu Yanxi said this, Mama Yun's face flashed with a thief's heart.
"Mama Yun?" The queen raised her voice and stared straight at Mama Yun.
I saw Mama Yun biting her lip, and after a long time, she hurriedly kowtowed, "Niangniang spare her life, this is all done by the Queen Mother to the old slave!" The old slave didn't want to force Mrs. Zhu to death! β
At this moment, the people in the hall exploded, and it was really the Queen Mother who killed General Zhu's wife.
"Mrs. Zhu has never had anything to do with the harem, Mama Yun, do you know the consequences of lying?" The queen asked.
"Niangniang, the old slave knows, the old slave doesn't dare to lie, the old slave vaguely remembers that day, when the Queen Mother heard that Mrs. Zhu had returned to the General's Mansion, she was so angry that she fell a lot of things, and because of this, the Queen Mother wanted the old slave and persuaded Mrs. Zhu to make a decision on her own..."
"At that time, the old slave only knew that he was ordered to act, and in the general's mansion, he persuaded Mrs. Zhu to commit suicide, Mrs. Zhu was knowledgeable, and nodded with tears, and naturally, the old slave came back in a hurry, and Xu was in a hurry, and this gold was dropped~" Mama Yun's words made Concubine Xia Xian frown, and before she could speak, the Queen Mother interrupted Mama Yun.
"It's just nonsense, Na Yun'er's slut, how can she be like what you said, if she wasn't unwilling, she wrote to the queen overnight, the mourning family needs to send you, and then send her on the road! What is knowledgeable, the people of Nafu, all deserve to die! As soon as Na Yun'er was mentioned, the Queen Mother really couldn't help but count it, but she couldn't take it back.
"Queen Mother, really, she told the truth." Concubine Xia Xian smiled, "At the beginning, the queen mother received a letter from Mrs. Zhu overnight, and felt that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to alarm others, and the concubine and Mrs. Zhu had a personal relationship since childhood, so they were naturally the best choice, but unfortunately, the concubine arrived, only to see Mama Yun, strangled Mrs. Zhu alive, and when she arrived, it was already late, this was unfounded, and the suicide scene was disguised, and even this letter was like Mrs. Zhu's handwriting, the queen mother was really scheming. β
"That's the case, Concubine Xian, why didn't you tell this palace?" The queen looked shocked and questioned Concubine Xiaxian.
"There is no evidence, how dare the concubine say anything, one, the concubine went out of the palace without permission, it is already a violation of the palace rules, and the other is that all of this is so seamless, except that the gold nuggets that accidentally fell, in desperation, the concubine had to return to the palace overnight and deliberately left the three-leaf hairpin!" Concubine Xiaxian's words are also convincing, indeed, even now, the Queen Mother still does not admit it, if it weren't for the slut who just said every word of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid, no one knows, it's the Queen Mother's hand.
"Ridiculous, do you think that in this way, the mourning family will inevitably be led away by you?" The queen mother noticed her gaffe, but she also shamelessly said, "Mama Yun made her own opinions, the mourning family can only be unclear, even if the emperor comes back, the mourning family is like this, hum, the mourning family has no reason, what do you hate to do!" β
"Others don't know, but this palace knows!" Concubine Yu hooked the corners of her mouth, this queen mother, she is really shameless, the evidence is conclusive, but she still thinks about it, and she won't admit it!
------Off topic------
Finally wrote out the murderer, a lot of mysteries, right? I am anxious, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry~
