Chapter 531: Interrogation in the Palace

Mrs. Zuo's whole body was cold, her body couldn't help trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of horror, reflecting Wei Guifei's calm and cold face.

Wei Guifei's tone was quiet, her eyebrows were hidden in the light and shadow of the candle flames, and the bright red color on her fingers was like blood droplets, "Mrs. Zuo, you, will you?" ”

Mrs. Zuo naturally wanted to say no, her purpose today was to pull Concubine Rong down, and the matter was in Concubine Wei's palace, she was Leng Yixiu's mother, so naturally she couldn't escape the involvement, this qiē was all aimed at Leng Yixiu and Rong Xi, and suppressed their power to the lower the better.

However, now things have taken a big turn, and those things that were originally planned have now fallen into the opposite position, and she has not recovered from the shock, let alone these things that Wei Guifei asked her now.

She couldn't speak, her head hung lower, her knuckles were pale, and she was almost wringed, but she still couldn't think of a suitable word.

From Wei Guifei's words, she knew in her heart that Wei Guifei was suspicious of her, but she didn't know if there was any definite evidence in Wei Guifei's hands, so far, she could only take one step at a time.

She knelt forward and climbed two steps, and her voice choked up: "Niangniang's words are serious, the concubine is soft-spoken, and her husband is just a deputy general. ”

"Oh?" Wei Guifei's tone rose slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Qing Lingling, like the sun shining on the surface of a frozen lake for thousands of miles.

Mrs. Zuo's head hung lower.

Wei Guifei was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and clapped her high-five, and the crisp applause slowly echoed in the hall, as if hitting Mrs. Zuo's heart.

There was not much time, the two grandmothers walked in with a little palace maid, the candlelight stretched the shadows of the three people into a slender length, the breeze blew into the hall, the candle flame shook slightly, and the shadows on the ground also fluttered and twisted, and when they slid past Mrs. Zuo's side, it was like a ghost, which made her feel a little gloomy.

The little palace maid was pushed to the ground by the two grandmothers, she sobbed, and saluted to Wei Guifei tremblingly, Wei Guifei glanced at her, and said lightly: "Ye'er, how many years have you been in this palace?" ”

"It's been more than two years since I replied to my mother's words," the little palace maid Ye'er said with her sleeves shrunk.

"Well, it's been more than two years," Wei Guifei's tone was soft, she turned her head, looked at the sky outside the window, and landed in the far void, "This palace remembers that when I first met you, it was winter, you did something wrong, and you were punished to kneel on the bluestone brick face of Yongsheng Road in the palace, it was so cold that winter...... The snow on the ground that didn't have time to sweep away was all covered with ice, and you knelt on the ice, and your little face turned purple. ”

Wei Guifei's tone seemed to be getting colder and colder, as if she had brought the cold air of that year, and it penetrated from her memory, "This palace saw that you were pitiful, so I asked the emperor to save you, and also made your original master dissatisfied with this palace, but this palace still insisted on taking you back to the palace," her tone stopped, as if sighing, as if talking to herself, "Time flies so fast." ”

The little palace maid's face turned pale, and she bowed down as if she was about to say something, and Wei Guifei said again: "It's so fast that people forget their kindness, so fast that they lose their original faces, and it's so fast that no one in the palace knows anyone in a trance." ”

The little palace maid's shoulders shook, she raised her head, and said with a frightened face: "Niangniang......"

"Why?" Wei Guifei looked at her, her tone was quiet and cold.

The little palace maid naturally understood what she meant by this headless and brainless sentence, she gritted her teeth, and said in a terrible voice: "Niangniang, the slave is wronged......"

Before she finished speaking, tears rolled down from her eyes, with a scorching temperature, burning her skin, she wiped a handful of tears, and said: "The slave really doesn't know what's going on today, obviously it's the filial piety of Princess Caining's side who came to the palace to get some potted plants, but I don't know how to faint, and the slave and maid have already fainted in that courtyard when they woke up again, and then ...... When I woke up, I was fed poison......"

"Someone." After she finished speaking intermittently, Wei Guifei waved her hand, and the lady in charge immediately said, "Niangniang, the imperial doctor is already waiting outside the door." ”

Wei Guifei nodded, and the sound of communication sounded outside the door, and then, a white-bearded imperial doctor walked in, he was dressed in official uniform, his beard was gray, and the belt around his waist was embroidered with three flowers, which was the highest level symbol of the imperial hospital.

"Weichen has seen the concubine Niangniang." The Imperial Physician respectfully bowed his head.

"Imperial Doctor Wu, get up." Concubine Wei had already put on her outer robe, with a screen in the middle, and said to the hazy figure of Imperial Physician Wu: "This palace summoned you to ask you to verify one thing for this palace. ”

Imperial Physician Wu's head hung down, and he couldn't see the look on his face, but his voice came in a muffled voice, "As long as Weichen knows what he can do, he will definitely go all out." ”

"That's good," Wei Guifei's gaze turned to the little palace maid Ye'er who was kneeling on the side, "Imperial Physician Wu will show this palace maid beside the palace what kind of poison she has, and is there any way to solve it?" ”

As soon as she said this, the little palace maid Ye'er's shoulders shook slightly, she kowtowed and said, "Niangniang, the slave and maid are cheap, how dare you let the imperial doctor take the pulse of the slave and maid?" It's really a tormenting slave......"

"It's okay," Wei Guifei's voice was calm, in stark contrast to her voice, "This matter is very important, and it involves your life, how can you be sloppy?" In case something happens to you, this palace can't bear it, not to mention, Imperial Doctor Wu has already agreed, what are you worried about? ”

"Slave maid......" The little palace maid involuntarily shrank her hand, her fingers were tightly clasped together, and her nails were white.

"Please, girl." Imperial Physician Wu has been in the palace for many years, and the battle in the harem is full of blood, and he has long been surprised, and today's special request of Concubine Wei has made him smell a trace of unusual smell.

The little palace maid still wanted to struggle, but Wei Guifei's gaze swept over, like a sharp blade, she couldn't help but shrink her neck, gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand.

Imperial Physician Wu quickly put a silk handkerchief on her wrist, and the room was very quiet, and it seemed that the sound of silk handkerchiefs sliding over her skin could be heard.

Mrs. Zuo lowered her eyes, staring only at the square brick in front of her, which had fine lines on it, and at this moment, it looked like a strange picture in her eyes.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed to be just a moment, Imperial Physician Wu took back the silk handkerchief, and the little palace maid Ye'er only felt a cold feeling on her wrist, and the silk handkerchief slid away, as if taking away the heat on her body.

"Hui Niangniang," Imperial Physician Wu bent down and said, "This girl's body is indeed a little abnormal. ”

"Oh?" Wei Guifei was slightly surprised, the little palace maid Ye Er breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Zuo's eyes fluttered with a little peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, Imperial Physician Wu's words changed sharply and said: "This girl's pulse is indeed very strange, like eating the wrong thing, like eating two kinds of food that are mutually reinforcing, sometimes although it is not to death, it will also make people have some uncomfortable feelings, such as red or pale or flushed, shortness of breath, too fast pulse, and so on. ”

"Eating the wrong thing?" Wei Guifei's fingers gently twisted the tassel on the jade pendant, and the fine and dense threads were wrapped around the fingers, "Isn't it poisoned?" ”

"It's not." Imperial Physician Wu replied, simply and neatly.

As soon as his words fell, Ye Er Huoran raised her head, and her relieved breath rose again, and she suddenly shouted: "You are talking nonsense!" The slave was clearly poisoned, and the assassin made the slave swallow the poison pill......"

"Whether it is poisoned or not is decided by the girl's pulse, not by the old minister's mouth," Imperial Doctor Wu said lightly.

"Someone!" Wei Guifei didn't pay attention to the quarrel between the two people, but said to the lady in charge beside her: "Go to her room and take a look, if there is anything special, you go in person." ”

The lady in charge nodded, gave a salute and turned to leave.

The little palace maid Ye'er wanted to look back, but she didn't dare, so she could only grasp the hem of the clothes tightly with her fingers, grabbing out countless folds, and the pale white flowers embroidered on the clothes had already been scratched by her.

Mrs. Zuo's breathing became slightly rapid, she was no better than Ye'er, she only felt that her breath was a little unstable.

Wei Guifei said through the screen: "Imperial Doctor Wu, thank you for your hard work, wait outside the palace." ”

"Yes." Imperial Physician Wu answered, bent down and retreated, Wei Guifei waved her hand, and two little palace maids stepped forward and carried away the screen in the middle.

Wei Guifei's gaze turned on the little palace maid Ye'er, she didn't say anything, but at this moment, it was more powerful than anything she said.

All the people did not speak, and the hall was silent, and one could hear each other's breathing, all waiting for a result that would decide the fate of some.

The night was deep and cold, with a little chill in the breeze, Wei Guifei gathered the robe on her body, she turned her head to look at the deep night, a bent moon shone in the sky, the moonlight was as cold as water, sprinkled on the earth, she only felt a little sad in her heart, she had been in the harem for many years, even if she was in a high position now, she also needed too much caution, and she was like walking on thin ice every day.

Nowadays, a good thing has suddenly evolved like this, even if you want to stay out of it, there is always too much helplessness, and the hand of fate always pushes you to the opposite place and do what you don't want to do.

While she was thinking, footsteps sounded outside the door, the footsteps were steady, making the hearts of the people in the hall tighten slightly, Mrs. Zuo and the little palace maid Ye'er's eyes were lowered, looking in the direction of the door, the shadow of a person approached little by little, and the footsteps became clearer and clearer.

Finally, the lady in charge walked in, saluted in front of Wei Guifei, and said in a low voice: "Hui Niangniang, the old slave found this under the bed of this girl Ye'er." ”
