Chapter 183: The Beginning (I)
"What I want to hear is the truth, you know that the incense you gave to Concubine Liu has been filled with musk, but you turn a blind eye; You know my intentions today, but you are lying here, is it that you are the one who murdered Concubine Liu? Xiao Junwan's tone became heavier. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhong Shanggong was a little flustered: "How dare the slave dare to murder Concubine Liu." ”
"Although your words are full of flaws, they are all trying to be perfunctory to me, not covering up for yourself? If you still dare to quibble, I don't have the time to see if you continue to quibble, how many kinds of punishments there are in the palace, I guess you have only heard of it and never seen it. ”
Zhong Shanggong was in a hurry, knelt in front of Xiao Junwan and pleaded: "My lord, the slave maid is just a last resort. ”
"Say, who told you to do that?"
"Yes...... It's ......"
"So far, if you don't recruit from the truth, there is only one way to die!"
"Back to your lordship...... It's the concubine Niangniang. ”
Su Shengxue sent the painting, Shuguifei gave incense, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperated seamlessly, but it was a pity that the secret was sparse, the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch were behind, and Shuguifei's mind had already been understood by the real murderer, so that the real murderer would use it as a shield.
Xiao Junjuan only needed Zhong Shanggong's words, and got up and said: "Escort her down, take care of her, and no one is allowed to approach." After saying that, he moved out of the inner mansion.
Xiao Junwan knew that this interrogation in the inner mansion had already alarmed Concubine Shu, and now she had to send it.
As soon as he left the inner house, he met Zhu Chang, who hurriedly came back to report: "My lord, the hospital has all been arranged." ”
Xiao Junwan nodded, and only said: "Go to Wansheng Palace." ”
Her purpose is only to hit Shuguifei and the East Palace, it doesn't matter who the real murderer is, whether the real murderer can be brought to justice is not her intention, since the real murderer chose Shuguifei as this scapegoat, Xiao Junwan will plan and accept it happily.
When the autumn sun was in the sky, the steps were bright, Xiao Junwan stopped in front of the steps of Wansheng Palace, and asked Ziying and Hongling with side eyes: "Are you afraid?" ”
"Why does the young lady ask that?"
"Today, you go in with me, you are completely torn your face with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shugui's status in the palace is deep-rooted, even if you can hit the East Palace hard, it is difficult to uproot it, the East Palace has a deep foundation in the imperial court, even if the princess is involved, presumably the East Palace is also a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff."
"Since Miss is not completely sure, it is not the time to become the first concubine."
Xiao Junwan looked at the sky and sighed: "Concubine Shu has been in the palace for decades, and her eyeliner is all over the place, what is the extent of our investigation in the inner mansion, presumably she knows everything about it, if she doesn't take the lead at this time, in a few days, all the witnesses will change their words, this matter must be struck while the iron is hot, and it can damage the East Palace." ”
Hongling smiled and said, "Miss, we're not afraid." ”
"Miss is not afraid, and Hongling and I have nothing to be afraid of."
Xiao Junwan nodded, moved up the steps, everyone knew that musk was not enough to kill Concubine Liu, and now she wanted to use the musk plan to sue Concubine Shu for murdering Concubine Liu and the imperial heir, some of them were unreasonable, and now they can only take one step, one step.
"You'd better wait outside, I'll go in alone."
Today, she is the first concubine, which is to completely form a feud with Concubine Shu, and the days to come are extremely dangerous, Ziying and Hongling are not afraid, and Xiao Junwan can't rashly let them get into danger.
In the main hall of Wansheng Palace, Xiao Junwan stood in the hall, waiting for Emperor Taihong to arrive, and there was no one else in the hall except for her and a few waiting minions.
"I heard, you've found out the truth?"
If you don't see anyone, you hear it first.
Xiao Junwan looked up and saw Emperor Taihong walking out of the apse.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid has found out that someone has done something on the incense used by Concubine Liu Niangniang to sacrifice to the gods."
"Hands and feet on incense?"
Xiao Junwan said with heavy eyes: "Your Majesty, let's listen to what the imperial doctor has to say first." ”
She has ordered Imperial Physician Zhang to wait outside the palace, and be sure to inform Emperor Taihong before Concubine Shu comes, and it is particularly important to strike first.
"Biography."
The palace people summoned Imperial Doctor Zhang to enter.
"Wechen knocks to see Your Majesty."
"Xiao Shangyi said that Concubine Liu's incense was tampered with?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"What the hell is going on?"
"Back to Your Majesty, that day Xiao Shangyi ordered someone to send the incense ashes in Concubine Liu's palace, and after Wei Chen and several imperial doctors checked it, they found that musk had been added to the incense."
"Musk?"
"Then musk is a great harm to those who are pregnant."
Emperor Taihong was furious: "Who is so bold as to dare to use musk to murder Concubine Liu!" ”
Xiao Junwan immediately said: "Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to pass on Concubine Shu and the crown princess to come." ”
"You mean, it was the concubine and the crown princess who did it?"
"Your Majesty, when the others come, the slave and maid will return the truth to Your Majesty."
Emperor Taihong nodded and ordered Gonggong He to summon him.
"I ask you, is musk deadly?"
"Back to Your Majesty, although the musk is not enough to kill, but the imperial heir in the womb of Concubine Liu is very disadvantaged, presumably it is the musk that causes the imperial heir to damage and injure the mother's body, so that Concubine Liu's blood is exhausted and she dies."
Xiao Junwan glanced at Imperial Physician Zhang slightly, this was the best statement she could think of, and asked Imperial Physician Zhang to report accordingly.
Xiao Junwan answered: "Your Majesty, the imperial heir is still in the womb of Concubine Liu, the mother and son are of the same body, the imperial heir is damaged, how can Concubine Liu be Kangtai." ”
Xiao Junwan knew that Emperor Taihong had never been assertive, and if there were many people who said it, he would believe it, and this was also the only bargaining chip she could make this matter a success.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shugui has arrived."
"Let her in."
Concubine Shu walked into the hall, and the moment she saw Xiao Junwan, she frowned: "Why are you here?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the slave and maid are naturally here to repay your majesty."
"Found?"
Xiao Junwan lowered his head and bowed slightly: "Back to Niangniang, I found it." ”
"What are the facts?"
"Concubine Liu died of poisoning."
"Poisoned? Who would dare to poison Concubine Liu. Concubine Shu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, hooked the corners of her lips, and then saluted Emperor Taihong, "See Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Junwan did not say bluntly that it was Shuguifei's doing, but Emperor Taihong also calmly called Shuguifei to get up.
"Your Majesty's concubines came, I don't know why?"
Emperor Taihong raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Junwan: "Listen to her." ”
"Niangniang knows that the incense sent by the inner government to Concubine Liu was poisoned, and Concubine Liu's mother **** burned incense, so that she died of poisoning."
"Why did you come to ask Hongu about this?"
"The concubine Niangniang is in charge of the harem, and the inner mansion is naturally also included."
Concubine Shu raised her lips: "What do you mean, is it possible that every thing sent out from the Inner Mansion will be asked by the palace?" ”
"The slave maid didn't mean that, but I just heard from the people in the inner house that after Concubine Liu was pregnant, the concubine Niangniang took special care of Concubine Liu, and she had to ask about it personally."
