Section 103 The Death of the Hero (I)
This is the first time that the emperor has spoken so close to Shu E, but this sentence was not said to Shu E, and the content of the words has nothing to do with Shu E.
She shouted "Emperor" with pleading, and he called "Qin'er" naturally and affectionately.
They are husbands and concubines!
Shu E finally understood why she felt like she wanted to escape and retreat before entering the house. At that time, I only thought that I was afraid to see the emperor, but now I know that what I don't want to see is a man sitting side by side with his concubine. Because only a day ago, he regarded this man as a promise.
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, the emperor reminded Shu E of Ran Nuo.
Perhaps it was in response to my grandfather's words that people born on the same day had similar personalities.
Seeing them standing side by side like this, it was like seeing the third young master Rannuo marry a girl from the Shang family. Shu E frowned slightly, trying her best to drive this thought away. However, there was still a sad look on his face.
"The slave has never been so suspicious." Shu E's thoughts were a little confused, and she almost didn't know what she was talking about.
Qin Meiren didn't pay attention to Shu E, just waved her hand, and the bracelet tinkled at night. She whispered to the maid beside her, "Take it." ”
The maid turned around and walked out of the inner room with a plate of things.
Qin Meiren walked in front of the emperor, bowed down and said, "Please allow Qin Er to inspect the contents of the plate in person to prove the innocence of my Zhang family." Kotomito's tone was full of persistence. The emperor had no choice but to nod.
Qin Meiren walked over and stretched out her hand to uncover the brocade on the plate, Shu E's face changed slightly, it was Yingyu wine again! And it's two bottles.
Looking closely, the bottle in his right hand that had been opened seemed to be the bottle that Xiaoyingzi gave him. Shu E was thinking about the purpose of Qin Meiren's move, and Lilac, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly walked in, bowed down and replied, "Mama Su is here." ”
Before everyone could react, Hua Fu had already followed behind Su Liuquan and walked in. The three of them saluted the emperor and the beautiful qin.
After asking for peace, Mama Liuquan said: "I heard that Qin Meiren found the reason why Mrs. Yong'an fainted, and the queen mother specially ordered the slave maid to come and take a look. ”
Hearing that Mama Liuquan was specially sent by the Queen Mother, the emperor immediately got up and said to Mama Liuquan: "Please be in peace with the Queen Mother." Qin Mei and Shu E also saluted and greeted the Queen Mother.
"May I ask Kotomi, what did you find?" Ryuizumi asked.
"Mama, please take a look", Qin Meiren elegantly stretched out her hand and pointed to the two bottles of Yingyu wine, "This Yingyu wine has been successfully brewed since my grandparents, and the cellar is opened every three years, and the top grades are selected to pay tribute." ”
Said and paced two steps to Liuquan's grandmother, "Yesterday's emperor's birthday, Sister Shu drank this Yingyu wine and fainted for a long time, if you don't find out the reason, wouldn't it be mistaken for this wine or something wrong to hurt Mrs. Yong'an", she was standing beside Shu E at this time, just one facing the emperor and the other with his back to the emperor, "What I am more afraid of being falsely rumored by the ignorant villain, accusing my Zhang family of being unfavorable to the emperor", said and suddenly turned around and faced the emperor, "How can the Zhang family afford such an injustice?" ”
Shu E listened to Qin Meiren's words, one by one, "misunderstood", and what kind of "ignorant villain", "false rumors", "falsely accusing my Zhang family", and "not being wronged", she couldn't help frowning slightly. Although Qin Meiren's words are not explicitly excusing herself, she is excusing herself every sentence.
According to this statement, although Xiaoyingzi is undoubtedly the murderer, she Cao Shu'e can't get out of it. She drank Yingyu wine and fainted, but it became the best evidence that she was "framing the Zhang family against the emperor".
"And what do you want to do?" The emperor asked. There was already some tiredness in his voice.
"There are two bottles of Yingyu wine here," said Kotomito, "one bottle has just been opened from under the flower tree in my backyard, and the other bottle," she said, glancing at the emperor, "I picked it up from the bamboo forest." ”
Shu E suddenly realized in her heart, no wonder the first person to inquire about Xiaoyingzi was not the queen mother, not the queen, nor Jieyu who supervised the affairs of the harem. Of course, it is only because Yingyu wine is a private brew in Qin Meiren's mansion and has a great relationship with her family, but the most important thing is probably because only Qin Meiren has this most important evidence in her hands.
The Queen Mother sent a bottle of Yingyu wine to Shu E, probably because the Queen Mother had long suspected that there was something wrong with the wine Shu E drank, so she sent another bottle, so that she could distinguish the difference and know it by herself. The wine sent by the Queen Mother was opened, and perhaps the Queen Mother had opened and checked the wine before giving it to her, and made sure that it was safe, before sending it to Yong'an Hall. Shu E secretly admired the Queen Mother's intelligence and thoroughness, and also appreciated the Queen Mother's carefulness.
It's just that Shu E has a bigger doubt in her heart: Why is this bottle of wine here in Qin Meiren?
The person who met Lu in the small bamboo forest was the emperor, and it was the maid Liuli next to the queen mother who sent him back to the palace.
"Sister Shu, you might as well come forward and confess, is this the bottle of wine you drank that day?" Kotomi asked.
As soon as the maid brought out the wine, Shu E recognized that this was the bottle of wine she drank that day, and the mud marks on the bottle were clearly visible, and it was still the same as yesterday.
Shu E nodded.
"Xiaoyingzi, did you give this wine to your wife?" Kotomi asked again.
"It's a small one for Madame, but it's ......" Xiao Yingzi hurriedly argued, but Qin Meiren had already waved his hand to stop his words.
"Whether you have done anything in the wine or not, there is no basis for your words, I will give you a chance now to prove it in front of the emperor." Qin Meiren's voice was clear and clear, which made Shu E feel chills all over her body when she heard it.
"You let him ......" Mama Liuquan seemed to think of something very photographable, and her voice trembled a little, "How to prove it?" ”
"That's it." Kotomi said it bluntly.
"That'...... No......" Mama Liuquan's tone looked very alarmed.
Shu E listened to the words of the two and wanted to turn her head to look at Liuquan's face. However, he always felt as if something strange was surrounding him, which made the whole person very uneasy, and he just hung his head deeply, just wanting to get away from this place as soon as possible.
"Mama Su rest assured. How could I let him drink it alone, and what would that prove? Koto said as she gestured to Masakoto.
Yazheng waved to the door, and a small chamberlain walked in, who was only about the same age as Xiaoyingzi.
After the little eunuch came in, he walked straight to Xiao Yingzi's side, knelt down side by side with him, and said goodbye to the emperor and Qin Meiren, and then said no more.
