Chapter 256: The True Murderer Who Poisoned the Poison
"Sending you out of the palace?" Although I understand that Mrs. Li may have been frightened by the poisoning incident she saw, I just saw her panicked appearance now, which made me a little impatient, "In this case, His Majesty really did it, what ability can I have to send you out of the palace, even if you leave the palace, do you think you are really safe?" ”
Mrs. Li was stunned when she heard this, and she was stupid in place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I thought about it for a while, and I still remember the last time Qu Jie died, Cheng Jing, who was the supervisor at the time, was initially in charge of investigating the case. In this case, whenever there is a case in the palace, it should also be handled by the superintendent. "Xia Zhen!"
Xia Zhen listened to my voice and hurriedly came in from outside and waited.
"Go find the superintendent." I said, looking at Xia Zhen and hesitating for a moment, Xia Zhen turned around and went to find the supervisor. I turned around and walked back to Mrs. Li's side, "You are sure that it is Your Majesty, what have you done to make you feel that Your Majesty must kill you." ”
Mrs. Li raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of horror, and for a moment, I seemed to think that she was about to say something, but she bit her mouth a few times, and the words seemed to reach her mouth, but finally she swallowed it back and did not say a word.
I realized that the matter might be a bit serious, but since I had already asked Xia Zhen to invite the supervisor, I had to figure out what was going on before the supervisor came, and after thinking about what Hanyue told me during the day, I tentatively asked the first sentence, "You and Zhao Sheng are both arranged by Yuan Jue, so do you both know each other?" ”
Mrs. Li shuddered visibly, and her eyes widened, "Madam, how did you know about this......"
From this point of view, Han Yue's statement that Mrs. Li and Zhao Sheng are both Yuan Jue's people is not false.
"No, it's not." Mrs. Li probably saw the gloom of my expression, so she was busy explaining, "I...... I was originally from Hancheng, and after the accident in Hancheng, I fled to Yucheng, and later became the second son...... King Moyang was rescued, and at that time he wanted to arrange for someone to enter the palace as an internal response, I just thought that entering the palace must be better than living on the street before agreeing. It's just that after tossing and turning, King Moyang sent me to the Meng Mansion, and Lord Meng sent me to the palace. I didn't know about Lord Zhao at first, until that day...... I was drugged, and when I woke up, I was behind the rockery with Lord Zhao...... Later, Lord Zhao came to me to talk about it, and I learned that he was also the person who was arranged by King Moyang to enter the palace. ”
"After Yuan Jue arranged for you to enter the palace, what could you do?" I asked.
"I really ......" she met my eyes, and immediately looked away, and her voice lost its confidence. I really...... What the...... Nothing has been done. ”
"If you don't say it now, you will also say it when the department supervises it, since you have determined that Your Majesty wants to kill you, I am afraid that what you have done, Your Majesty already knows. Think for yourself, whether to tell me now so that I can help you, or wait for the supervisor to interrogate. I sneered.
"I ......" She hesitated, and looked at me again, she must be thinking about something in her heart at this moment, but I'm afraid she also knows that Xia Zhen went to invite the supervisor, but I'm afraid that Xia Zhen has already arrived at the supervisor's office at this time. Since I entered the palace, I have only received an instruction from the second son to do one thing for him. ”
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"That's it...... It's ......" she said as she instinctively glanced at me, but I happened to be caught right by me, and she hurriedly avoided my gaze.
"Something to do with me?" I guessed it when I looked at her reaction.
"It's just, I came to embarrass you that time, and the result ......" she didn't continue. I already remembered the time she said that she came to make things difficult for me, and as a result, I hurt myself, which made Wonhyuk angry and beat her. "And only this time...... Later, the second son didn't have any more instructions, so I thought he had forgotten me. Originally, I didn't dare to trouble you at that time, and I had heard about the relationship between you, but I thought that it was because you were with Your Majesty that the second son was angry and told me to find trouble with you. ”
I was a little surprised, I didn't expect it to be ordered by Yuan Jue at that time, I thought that Mrs. Li was acting for Queen Meng at that time. It's just that since Yuan Jue arranged for Mrs. Li to enter the palace, she only let her do this one thing from beginning to end, which is really a bit strange. If that's the case, with Mrs. Li's temperament, she is sure that she will not come out, and she wants to enjoy the glory and wealth in the palace, plus she was later pregnant with Wonhyuk's child, which really makes me wonder why Wonhyuk framed her. "What else have you done in the palace? Is it worth sacrificing the child in your belly, even if Your Majesty has to find a reason to kill you? ”
"Madam, I really haven't done anything anymore...... "Mrs. Li cried out.
"What about Queen Meng's death?" I remembered all the doubts I had at that time.
Mrs. Li suddenly stopped talking, and lowered her head, almost biting her lip to bleed.
"Does Queen Meng's death have anything to do with you?" I asked. She deliberately avoided me, making it clear that she was weak-hearted, and even without waiting for her to answer, I could be sure that she had something to do with Queen Meng's death. "You killed Queen Meng?"
"It's not!" Mrs. Li suddenly shouted and denied it, but this mouth wanted to continue to be silent, as if there was something involved in it, and she didn't dare to provoke it.
"Now that your child is gone, if you want to save your life, you must at least pass the current hurdle first." I induced her, and I saw the wavering in her eyes, and she was already hesitating about what to do, and I continued to hint, "Actually, it's not that you want to kill Queen Meng, it's someone who wants you to kill her." You just did what the guy asked......"
"No, it's not." Mrs. Li lowered her head and was in a dilemma, "I am going to kill her, it is I who is killing Queen Meng." ”
What surprised me was that after thinking about it, she actually admitted that it was she who killed Queen Meng, and she had just denied this answer, so there must be a problem, behind the truth of this matter, there must be something that Mrs. Li did not dare to say. What is it that makes her dare not offend even if she admits to such a big crime as killing Queen Meng.
"You have to think clearly, you don't know who is going to poison you, maybe it's the king, maybe it's the ......"
Mrs. Li seemed to be suddenly frightened, and it seemed that my statement also confirmed her suspicion, and she was even more frightened, and climbed up to my leg and wanted to ask me to protect her, but the way she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, I was speechless.
"Since you think you can't believe me, forget it." I said, "Wait a minute, Xia Zhen will bring the eunuch here, if you have anything to say, just tell him." ”
"Don't ...... No! Mrs. Li shouted, "Send me out of the palace!" Send me out of the palace! ”
"Even if you leave the palace, where can you hide!" The truth I know these days makes me fear everyone in this palace, this palace is like a huge cage, but it traps the most powerful people in the country, "Do you think you will be safe when you leave the palace?" Even if you are out of the palace, they can still find you. ”
Mrs. Li's eyes looked around, she knew that the eunuch was coming, but she didn't feel like she was going to tell the truth now, but seemed to be pushing more desperate step by step, "Why, why do you want me to die......"
wants her to die, her words are full of loopholes. "You mean Your Majesty? What else have you done that His Majesty wants you to die? ”
If Queen Meng died, Lady Li was the murderer. But according to what Mrs. Li said, since she entered the palace, Yuan Jue has only asked her to do one thing, that is, to trouble me, so the death of Queen Meng is definitely not Mrs. Li was instructed by Yuan Jue. In this case, how could Mrs. Li, who only wanted to be glorious and rich, get involved in this matter. Is it because Yuan Hyuk wants to kill Lady Li even if he doesn't care about his own bloodline?
"I killed Queen Meng, but I ......" Mrs. Li couldn't hold back, "I can't help it, I was threatened by her, she knew my identity from Master Meng, and she threatened me to save her." I...... The man said that if Queen Meng died, there would be nothing left. ”
That guy?! Who was that person in Reeve's mouth, "Who?" ”
Mrs. Li shook her head, "I don't know who he is, I've only seen that once...... Originally, I didn't want to kill Queen Meng. But Queen Meng pressed me too hard, and even asked me to frame you to save her...... I don't dare, I know that if I frame you, Your Majesty will definitely find out. That person told me that His Majesty intended to make Queen Meng suffer Qu Jie's death, and if I poisoned Queen Meng after a big quarrel with His Majesty, I would definitely ...... Your Majesty must have thought that Queen Meng committed suicide......"
Is it because of "that person"? But Mrs. Leigh said that she had only met the man once, "Since you have only met him once, how can you believe him?" In case he was sent by His Majesty, didn't you just fall for the trick? ”
"No, he's not from this palace. He...... That person is not like a person from Yu Kingdom. Mrs. Li panicked and denied it.
is not just a person from Yu Palace, but not a person from Yu Kingdom, so is he a person from Yibu? Among the people who come and go in this Yu Palace, there are two people I can think of who are related to Yibu, one is Xiong Lie and the other is Jiang Yan. But how do I know if it's one of them?
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the footsteps of many people, yes, many people, heavy, neat, and accompanied by the sound of armor......
"You're hurting me!" When Mrs. Li heard the movement outside, she immediately became alert, and she quickly got up, already guessing what was happening outside. I didn't react yet, I just asked Xia Zhen to invite a supervisor to come over, why suddenly the movement outside the dormitory seemed to be surrounded. Mrs. Li grabbed the hairpin that I had placed in front of the bronze mirror and pressed it against my neck, grabbed me with one hand, and held me up.
When Xia Zhen walked in with someone, seeing this scene, Xia Zhen shouted in fright, "Madam! ”
A man about thirty years old standing next to Xia Zhen stopped her and said to us, "Xu Rui, the minister and eunuch, has seen two ladies. ”
"Less nonsense!" Mrs. Leigh shouted, "Get out, all of you." ”
"Mrs. Li, please calm down, don't hurt Mrs. Zhaohua because of impulsiveness." Xu Rui soothed Mrs. Li's uncontrollable emotions, "The minister has already informed Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is on the way here." If you have something to say, you can calm down and speak slowly. ”
"I don't want it!" Mrs. Leigh shouted loudly, and the hairpin against my neck was pushed harder, forcing them backwards, and only then did Mrs. Leigh hold me hostage and move out, little by little, she kept urging in my ear, "Hurry up." ”
I was frail and a little strained, and the hairpin she pressed against my neck would sting me from time to time, and I guessed that my neck must have been bruised and ugly, "What if you hold me hostage." Do you think that you can successfully leave Yu Palace by dragging a sick person like me? Why don't you tell them what you want? ”
"Don't speak." Mrs. Leigh finally realized that I had been trying to influence her train of thought, so she drank aloud.
"Lord Xu." Seeing that I couldn't affect Mrs. Li, I thought about settling the matter. Mrs. Leigh suspected that someone was trying to poison her. So find out now who poisoned Mrs. Leigh's meal tonight. ”
Mrs. Li listened to what I said to Xu Rui, and subconsciously pulled me.
"Mrs. Hui, the minister has just received the news, because Mrs. Li's maid Jing Huan was poisoned and died in the palace, and Mrs. Li is nowhere to be found. The minister had already been to Mrs. Li's palace, and he was conducting an autopsy, and the ministers originally thought that Mrs. Li had killed the maid and fled the palace, but since Mrs. Li was here, the minister also had questions to ask Mrs. Li. Xu Rui replied calmly, seeing that Mrs. Li did not refuse, before asking, "The minister wants to ask Mrs. Li, do you remember the appearance of the person who delivered the food to you?" ”
I turned my head to see Mrs. Leigh's reaction.
She thought about it, and answered. "I don't remember much, but I know it's someone from this palace, and I seem to have seen it somewhere, so I don't have any doubts."
Xu Rui lowered his head and pondered, and then asked, "Then why did the maid Jinghuan eat the meal given to Mrs. Li?" ”
"Because I don't want to eat...... I have no appetite. Jing Huan has always said that it is a waste not to eat...... I just told her to eat it. But who knows...... But who knows...... "Mrs. Li has not recovered from being poisoned, and she is still in shock."
I looked at Xu Rui a little strangely, but Mrs. Li panicked and didn't notice it, so I asked. "Lord Xu, do you have any questions?"
"Madame Hui." Xu Rui bowed down and replied, "Because I have found the palace man who delivered food to Mrs. Li, but it is just ......."
"Just what?!" Madame Leigh asked aloud impatiently, and she was a little timid, afraid to hear the answer as she had guessed.
If the people of this palace finally find out that it is related to Yuan He, even if the murderer is found, I am afraid that Mrs. Li will eventually die. And I still haven't figured out who the "person" between the death of Mrs. Li and Queen Meng is, and what the plot of the person who pointed out Mrs. Li to poison Queen Meng behind her back has not been solved...... If Yuan He wants to avenge Queen Meng, he can directly find out the murderer and bring him to justice, why bother framing Mrs. Li and Zhao Sheng......
None of these things are that simple.
"Tell me, why the hell did Wonhyuk have to kill you." I asked softly. (To be continued.) )
