Before Liu Xiu's people acted, Guo Shengtong's people placed in Changqiu Palace had already moved one step ahead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not long after the news of Yin Lihua's poisoning and unknown life and death in the palace came to the West Palace alone to ask Guo Shengtong to report that Wen Erlan had poisoned and murdered Yin Lihua.
Although Guo Shengtong was in a good mood, he sat upright in front of everyone and questioned Yan Qiuyi: "You said that Wen Meiren poisoned and murdered Yin nobles, is there any evidence?" ”
Yan Qiuyi immediately replied: "Back to the queen, Wen Meiren is clever, and there is no evidence for slaves. ”
Guo Shengtong didn't say anything about this, and instead instructed Yan Qiuyi to tell everything he knew.
Yan Qiuyi slowly told everything that happened in Shanglin Yuan.
After Guo Shengtong listened, he only asked Yan Qiuyi, "The Yin nobles didn't say anything to the palace, you are just a slave and maid, and there is no evidence, why should you report it?" ”
I only heard Yan Qiuyi reply with righteousness and awe: "The noble man has always treated us slaves and maids well, and the slaves and maids have always been grateful, and the nobles are suffering from no evidence and no evidence, and they dare not aggravate and avenge themselves. The slave and maid could not bear to suffer the nobleman's sins in vain and suffer unjustified injustice, so they dared to come and ask the queen to correct the nobleman's name. In addition, the slave maid's actions are advocated by the slave and maid alone, and I hope that the queen will see it. ”
Guo Shengtong glanced at Yan Qiuyi appreciatively, and said: "You have a heart to protect the lord, and this palace appreciates it very much, but this palace, as the master of the harem, needs to be fair, you have no evidence and no certificate, and this palace can't do anything about what you want." For the sake of your sincere heart, this palace will not investigate you for slandering Wen Meiren, so go back quickly. ”
Yan Qiuyi didn't want to leave, still kneeling on the ground motionless.
At this moment, someone from the palace came to report: "Tell the queen that Qu Li, the palace maid of the gentle beauty of Hanzhang Palace, has something important to see." ”
Guo Shengtong saw that Yan Qiuyi was reluctant to leave, and he didn't force it, so he said directly to the palace maid: "Xuan." ”
Qu Yu came in, and after saluting, he said directly to Guo Shengtong: "After returning to the queen, the slave found a suspicious embroidery needle on the sleeve of Wen today's beautiful woman's clothes, so she privately looked for the imperial doctor. ”
After Guo Shengtong heard this, his face couldn't help but show a little solemnity, she said: "Yin nobles are poisoned, and now life and death are unpredictable, and Wen Meiren is also in danger of being poisoned, what's going on?" ”
Yan Qiuyi on the side was overjoyed at this time, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, and asked Qu Yan with a serious face: "May I ask if you can show the embroidery needle to the slave?" ”
Qu Yu looked for the sound, glanced at Yan Qiuyi, and then looked at Guo Shengtong for instructions.
Guo Shengtong understood in his heart, but hesitated for a moment, and then nodded to Qu Yi.
Qu Yu got Guo Shengtong's nod and permission, so he obediently handed the embroidery needle to Yan Qiuyi.
Yan Qiuyi successfully took the embroidery needle with the surging excitement in her heart, and after getting it in her hand, she said to Guo Shengtong excitedly: "Queen, this is the evidence that Wen Meiren poisoned and murdered Yin nobles. ”
When Guo Shengtong heard this, she seemed to suddenly realize, but her face turned cold in an instant, she was not angry and arrogant, she warned Yan Qiuyi sharply: "This palace is in your sincere heart, and I will no longer pursue your temporary gaffe, it doesn't mean that you can continue to lie about it." You think carefully about this palace, and you can't bear the charge of slandering a beauty alone. ”
Yan Qiuyi replied fearlessly: "The slave is not a lie, you also heard it, Queen Fangcai, this poisonous needle was found in the clothes that Wen Meiren changed today, except for Wen Meiren, who could put the poisonous needle on her unknowingly when she was so critical, and she didn't find it." Wen Meiren clearly wanted to take the life of the Yin nobles while setting up a situation to frame the Yin nobles, otherwise, how could she ask His Majesty to summon all the imperial doctors to Hanzhang Palace? ”
Qu Yu didn't seem to expect that an unintentional move of his own would cause trouble for Wen Meiren, and he seemed a little panicked because he was unable to defend what Yan Qiuyi said.
Guo Shengtong listened to what Yan Qiuyi said, and after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly showed a sharp gaze, looked at Qu Yi and asked, "Is this really something you didn't intend to find?" Do you know what you are a gentle beauty? ”
Qu Yu nodded stunned at first, then shook his head in a daze, and quickly realized that he was wrong, and hurriedly said: "This poisonous needle was discovered by the slave maid by accident, and the slave maid asked the imperial doctor to inspect and come to tell the queen that these actions were all done without the knowledge of Wen Meiren, and the slave maid originally thought that this was a great achievement, and Wen Meiren would be rewarded when she turned back." Speaking of this, it seems that he foresaw his tragic end, and he was suddenly depressed and uneasy.
After Guo Shengtong heard this, he immediately instructed Zhou Ruyi: "You go to the Changqiu Palace in person to ask, there are people from the Changqiu Palace who testify that Wen Meiren poisoned the Yin nobles, but the evidence is not yet conclusive, whether to pursue it now, if necessary, the palace will definitely deal with it fairly; If not, the palace will ignore it. ”
Zhou Ruyi immediately responded: "Huh." Then he quickly left and did what he was told. After she came to Changqiu Palace, she directly found Mama Liu, first greeted Yin Lihua on behalf of Guo Shengtong, and then explained her intentions.
After listening to Zhou Ruyi's intentions, Mama Liu was quite suspicious, things were very different from their plans, and she didn't have time to figure out the ins and outs in a hurry, after careful consideration, she told Zhou Ruyi to decide: "Please tell the queen, the life and death of the noble person is uncertain now, and the slave and maid dare not make their own decisions, but the slave and maid steal that it does not matter how the noble person decides, and the queen, as the master of the harem, should deal with the queen in her own way." If the queen needs a nobleman, she will be happy to serve it. ”
Zhou Ruyi looked at Mama Liu, who she respected and hated in front of her, and said with a smile: "The slave and maid will tell the queen without missing a word, and leave here." ”
When Mama Liu heard this, she bent down to give a gift, and after Zhou Ruyi left, she immediately found Qingyu and Yu Xinyue, and asked Qingyu to find out what happened in the West Palace, and at the same time asked Yu Xinyue to stop acting immediately. After Qingyu and Yu Xinyue left, Mama Liu cautiously came to Yin Lihua and explained Zhou Ruyi's intention and her arrangement.
Yin Lihua smiled coldly at this and said, "Things are getting more and more interesting, I don't know what Guo's plan is next?" Now that Yin Lihua is hiding in the shadows, she wants to take a good look at what Guo Shengtong and Wen Erlan can do.
Here, Yu Xinyue successfully stopped her before the eyeliner planted in Hanzhang Hall went to the West Palace to report Wen Erlan, and Qingyu quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter through the eyeliner placed in the West Palace, and hurried back to the Changqiu Palace to report.
When Qingyu was reporting to Yin Lihua and Mama Liu, Guo Shengtong listened to Zhou Ruyi's reply, and immediately ordered someone to be sent to arrest Wen Erlan's personal palace maid Yuyan and bring it to the West Palace for interrogation.
This news quickly spread in the palace, which confused Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu, after all, as far as they knew, Guo Shengtong and Wen Erlan were in a cooperative relationship, and now there was a sign of infighting, which was obviously very unreasonable. (To be continued.) )
