Chapter 377: Pointing
In the Changkun Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Yan turned her head to look at the emperor, and the emperor's face was a little dark.
And the following Wan Gonggong is reporting: "...... From the room of the dead palace maid, a drinking cup of water was found, and strychnine was found in it, and the palace maid should have eaten a large amount of strychnine and died of poisoning. Judging from the speculation, it should be that the palace maid poisoned He Meiren first, and then committed suicide in fear of sin. The slave has already asked the hospital to take stock of the strychnine in the imperial pharmacy, judging from the medicine book of the imperial pharmacy, in the past two months, only Shufei Niangniang has used strychnine, and Shufei Niangniang used a recipe containing strychnine because of wind paralysis.
The stewards and palace people of the cold palace were locked up and interrogated, but nothing useful was tried. It is said that the palace maid who delivers the meal is usually silent and does not like to interact with people, He Meiren did not find anything unusual about her before she died, that is, the palace maid of the lady concubine Niangniang has often come to the cold palace recently, and she must take good care of He Meiren, and sometimes the lady concubine will reward the palace people of the cold palace with silver, among which the eunuch in charge and the palace maid who delivered the meal are the most rewarded. ”
The emperor said with a little anger in his voice: "Retrial!" Who the palace maid had contact with before she died, and where she went, she would find out to me one by one. He also said: "A little palace maid does not have the courage to poison a palace concubine, there must be someone behind her, and she commits suicide in fear afterwards, it will not be for profit, if she is not loyal to the person behind her, then she is coerced, check whether the palace maid's family is controlled again." ”
The emperor was also a little angry, and he poisoned his palace concubine in his palace, even if he sent him to the cold palace, he didn't take him seriously at all. If he didn't get to the bottom of it, he wouldn't have to sit on this throne.
Wan Gong said yes, and then retired.
Lin Yan sighed and said to the emperor: "This time it was the concubine's negligence that caused He Meiren to suffer an accident. ”
originally thought that He Meiren, who was already in the cold palace, would not pose a threat to anyone, and naturally no one would take the risk to kill a worthless person. Last time, Jiang Zhaoyi often went to the cold palace, she made people stare at her for a while, and then she saw that she stopped, but she only focused on Jiang Zhaoyi, but she didn't pay much attention to the cold palace.
The emperor squeezed Lin Yan's hand and said, "I don't blame you, the villain's tricks are endless, you only have one pair of hands and one pair of eyes, how can you guard against it." ”
Lin Yan also shook the emperor, and said guiltily: "The emperor handed over the entire harem to me, but I didn't look good for the emperor, the concubine is really a failure." ”
And the person who calculated this time is indeed smart, using the most ordinary medicinal herb strychnine, Hu Shufei's recipe has this flavor of medicine, Hu Shufei's palace maid has the most contact with the palace maid who delivers food, and Hu Shufei has this motive for killing, and now it seems that all the evidence points to Hu Shufei who instructed someone to poison He Meiren.
But the more this is the case, the more Lin Yan believes that Concubine Hu Shu is innocent.
Lin Yan thought about the people who might poison He Meiren one by one, and found that whether it was Wu Guifei or Jiang Zhaoyi, they were actually very clean in this matter. He Meiren came out of Wu Guifei's palace, but since He Meiren was beaten into the cold palace, Wu Guifei has not let people go to see He Meiren once.
As for Jiang Zhaoyi, perhaps she wanted to separate the relationship between the four princes and Concubine Hu Shufei and let the four princes use them for their own use, but she often went to the cold palace to try to persuade He Meiren to help her, but since He Meiren rejected her for the last time, she has never been to the cold palace. Jiang Zhaoyi has not taken strychnine, and the number of strychnine in the imperial pharmacy is also matched, whether it is the strychnine that killed He Meiren in the end, or the food delivery maid who poisoned He Meiren, it seems that it has nothing to do with Jiang Zhaoyi. It really couldn't be cleaner anymore.
But what made Lin Yan most suspicious was Jiang Zhaoyi, as well as Princess Hui, who had been in frequent contact with Jiang Zhaoyi recently.
If the strychnine on how beautiful people is not from the imperial pharmacy, it must have been brought in from outside the palace, if it is really Jiang Zhaoyi, then there must be someone to help her.
Lin Yan sighed, everything has to wait until the water comes out. Otherwise, all her guesses are to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Lin Yan asked again: "Your Majesty, how should He Meiren mourn?" After a pause, he said: "The New Year will be coming soon, and He Meiren will always be mourned before the end of the year." ”
And how He Meiren died, there must always be an explanation to the outside world. He Meiren was poisoned because it belonged to the palace and yin, and telling others that He Meiren was poisoned by someone would only lose the face of the royal family, so He Meiren must die a normal way to die externally.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Let the Ministry of Rites mourn according to Jieyu's grade, and say that she died of illness to the outside world." ”
Lin Yan nodded.
Lin Yan sighed again: "The concubine is a little worried about the fourth prince, he has been sick for the past two days, I don't know if he can withstand this blow." ”
The emperor was silent for a moment, and then said, "Isn't there still a concubine by Xiao Si's side." ”
Lin Yan shook her head.
Now all the evidence faintly points to Concubine Shu, if the fourth prince knew about it, he would also think so, his adoptive mother killed his biological mother...... The four princes are afraid that they will not be able to withstand this blow even more.
The emperor also knew that he was comforting himself, and said, "You should let people watch Xiaosi more." ”
And at the same time, in the Yong'an Palace.
Concubine Hu Shufei took Concubine Cui Xian's hand and cried: "...... I was really wronged, sister, you tell me about the more than ten years I have been in the palace, how have I ever hurt people, I just occasionally have a bad temper and punish the palace people, and then I have to reward a silver to appease me. I don't know which ruthless person actually blamed me like this, and the fourth prince didn't know what to think of me when he knew about it. ”
Concubine Cui Xian gently patted her back and comforted her: "Okay, sister, don't worry too much." The emperor and the queen are both discerning people, and they will give their sister justice. ”
Concubine Hu Shu just cried, and hated: "I know, it's nothing more than the two in Zhaoyang Palace or Lihe Palace, the eldest princess I gave birth to is a princess, and the four princes I raised will not compete with them for the throne, what am I hindering them......?"
Concubine Cui Xian hurriedly coughed a few times when she heard this, quickly covered her mouth, and said, "My sister is really confused, how can this kind of thing be easy to say." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly signaled to the palace people in the hall and asked them all to go out.
Hu Shufei continued to cry.
Concubine Cui Xian sighed and asked, "What is my sister going to say to the four princes?" ”
Concubine Hu Shu wiped her tears and said, "What can I say, hide it for the time being, how long can I hide it, the fourth prince is still sick, where do I dare to tell him about He Meiren." ”
Concubine Cui Xian said: "Sister, with all due respect, it's better for you to tell the fourth prince about this matter as soon as possible, so that he doesn't have a good idea of hearing about it from other people's mouths, or he has a deeper misunderstanding of his sister." ”
Concubine Hu did not speak. After a pause, he wiped away his tears and stood up, and said to Concubine Cui Xian: "Sister Lao listened to her sister talk about her work for half a day, and her sister went back first, and the fourth prince was still sick and needed to be taken care of." ”
Saying that, he curtsied his knees to Concubine Cui Xian, intending to go out.
Concubine Cui Xian felt a little sympathy for her, shook her hand, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you are welcome to come to Yong'an Palace to talk to me at any time, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, don't you have this friendship." ”
Concubine Hu Shu was a little grateful, shook her hand back, then nodded, and then left Yong'an Palace and went back in the direction of Huayang Palace.
As a result, as soon as she arrived at the door of Huayang Palace, the palace maid hurriedly ran up and said to her anxiously: "Niangniang, where have you been?" Oh no, something happened, the concubine Niangniang came, and went directly into the house of the fourth prince, and the slaves and maids couldn't stop it. ”
Concubine Hu Shufei was shocked when she heard this, her face turned pale, and she muttered: "I know, I know, these people will not let go of my ......" said hurriedly rushed in the direction of the fourth prince.
As a result, when I put it at the door, I saw Wu Guifei sitting on a chair inside, looking at the four princes standing barefoot on the ground with some pleasure.
The fourth prince was dumbfounded, looking at Wu Guifei, as if he was frightened, and when he saw Concubine Hu Shu coming back, he moved his lips, and after a while, he shouted: "Mother concubine......"
I wanted to ask something, but before I could ask, I closed my eyes and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Concubine Hu Shufei was so frightened that she screamed loudly, shouted "Ming'er", and then ran forward. (To be continued.) )
