Chapter 131: Contest (2)
The queen was slightly shocked, and immediately returned to normal, Minglai will block the water and cover the earth, there are so many people behind her, it is more than enough to deal with the Xianfei faction
Xu Zigui saw Concubine Xian's eyes and eyebrows fine-tuned, could it be that Concubine Xian's IQ was plugged in, and she could still think of leaving a way back for herself? immediately thought of the three princes, and was relieved, thinking that although the three princes were much more dull than the other princes, after all, they were Mo Ziyuan's younger brothers, and their brains would not be much worse if they thought about it
After listening to the words of the imperial doctor, the emperor glanced at Concubine Xian meaningfully, and then said lightly: "Concubine Xian, what else do you have to explain?" ”
The emperor's words just gave Concubine Xian a chance to explain, and I saw that Concubine Xian's eyes were even more sad: "Sister Cheng also said just now, if it is really the concubine's doing, how can the concubine leave a handle and wait for the emperor to come and collect it, the concubine's heart for the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon, and her loyalty is overflowing, the emperor, you have to believe in the concubine" said, suddenly looked left and right, and after seeing Xinyue, he knelt down and walked to Xinyue's side, revealing the pain of being betrayed by the most trusted person
"Xinyue, why do these things appear in your room, you say, you say!" In the end, almost roaring, Xinyue trembled in the roar of Concubine Xian, trembled and knelt down, and cried in fear
"The emperor atoned for his sins, the mother atoned for his sins, this is not the original intention of the slave maid, it is the queen's mother, who threatens the slave and maid with the name of the slave and maid's family, please let the emperor know."
After speaking, he kowtowed on the ground, and after a while, obvious blood marks appeared on Xinyue's white forehead, but he couldn't wait for the queen's justification and the emperor's question, and couldn't help but look up, only to see the emperor looking at her with a pensive look, and the queen was sitting on the side and looking at her playfully
It was as if it was at an impasse. Concubine Shu glanced at Xu Zigui, who was standing beside the queen, meaninglessly, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, this girl is not simple, the concubine wants to ......." Halfway through, she stopped, hesitated for a while, and still didn't say anything. The emperor was also pulled back to his thoughts by Concubine Shu's voice. Asked
"You think about it, but it doesn't hurt to say it"
With the emperor's words, Concubine Shu was relieved and boldly said what she wanted to say: "The concubine thinks." Why don't you order someone to go to Fengqi Palace and search for it......"
"Presumptuous!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Leyuan, "The queen mother's bedroom is also searched if you say so!" He knelt in front of the emperor and was indignant: "Father." Concubine Xian had ill intentions, and even the maids around her slandered the queen mother like this. Erchen really can't look past it! ”
The emperor glanced at Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu lightly, and then glanced at the queen thoughtfully, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "That is the case, so I listened to Concubine Shu's opinion." Qi Qiang! ”
"The minister is here!"
"Take someone to Fengqi Palace to search me, you can't let go of every corner!"
"Obey the Order"
Qi Qiang led people to Fengqi Palace to search, and the queen looked at the emperor in front of her in slightly shock. I couldn't believe that the emperor didn't even trust her. When the queen was sad, Xu Zigui took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on her, quietly moved behind the queen, and poked the queen's back with his finger while no one was paying attention
The queen frowned, indicating that she didn't understand what Xu Zigui meant, Xu Zigui frowned slightly, and said as if inadvertently: "The family thief is difficult to prevent, and he is also wronged by the virtuous concubine, but Gui'er doesn't understand, what is the poison in the tea of the four princes?" According to Xinyue's words, could it be that the poison in the tea of the four princes was also done by the queen's mother? But the queen mother and the four princes have no grievances, why do you want to poison the four princes? Besides, the queen mother has not intersected with Concubine Zhao, how could she let Zhao Dong'er poison and murder the four princes? ”
Xu Zigui's series of questions made Concubine Xian a little overwhelmed, and she didn't know how to answer, so she had to kneel beside the emperor over and over again, crying and begging the emperor to believe
And the queen got the most important information from Xu Zigui's words, just now Xu Zigui squeezed his eyebrows and stared at himself for a long time, just to ask himself if the people in the palace are reliable or not, the queen thought about it a little carefully, and after thinking about it like this, it made the queen a little creepy - how to think, how to feel that there are people around her who have been bought and she has not found out
At this time, Qi Qiang also came back from outside with all the guards, and Qi Qiang, who was the head, held the paper bag that was exactly the same as the one that was found from the Xinyue room just now, and after Qi Qiang handed the paper bag to the emperor, he clenched his fists with both hands, "This is what the minister found in a box in the queen's bedroom"
The emperor opened the paper package, which contained white powder that was the same as just now, and handed it to the imperial doctor for identification, after confirming that it was a turtle, the emperor fine-tuned the hair, and his tone was light
"Doesn't the queen explain the explanation?"
The flat tone, not like the angry look when he just searched out the turtle from Xinyue's room, Xu Zigui's eyes narrowed slightly, the emperor is like this, is it because he believes that the queen will not do this, so his feelings are like this, or he already has his own judgment, so that his feelings are not exposed?
"As Concubine Cheng's sister said, if it is really done by the concubine, will the concubine still put it in the box of her bedroom and wait for the emperor to come and search it after the incident in the east window?" The queen's tone was also flat, and she didn't know if she was cold to the emperor, had no expectations, or had her own plans, "Besides, as Gui'er said, is the poison in Qing'er tea also the result of the concubine?" Although Qing'er was not born to a concubine, she was also the son of a concubine, she grew up in front of her concubine since she was a child. ”
The emperor nodded, but he didn't say a word, and Mo Qingyuan naturally wouldn't help the queen speak at this time, although today's purpose was to bring down the Zhao family, but if it was said that the queen was dragged into the water, it would be the ending that Mo Qingyuan wanted to see, Mo Qingyuan took a step back slightly, adding fuel to the fire
"Erchen believes in the queen mother, but it's just ......" Mo Qingyuan looked at the queen without saying anything, his eyes were full of grievances of "my son loves you so much, but you are so cruel to your son", which was disgusting in the eyes of Xu Zigui and others
"Queen Mother, why do you want to frame your concubines so much" Concubine Xian directly convicted the queen, and looked at the queen sadly, her eyes full of disbelief
The corners of the queen's mouth hooked slightly, and she sneered, "The emperor has not condemned the palace, you have set the palace first, don't be a thief," he said. glanced at Jin Xiang quietly, Jin Xiang immediately understood, and took advantage of people's attention to see the door of the inner hall of Xiansi Palace
Concubine Shu said as if talking to herself: "Isn't the queen mother killed by the maid like her sister?" But the maids all do things according to the master's orders......"
said that he was talking to himself, but the voice was so loud that the whole room could hear it, but his expression was indeed like muttering to himself, which was unpredictable
"The queen can't wait for her son to take the emperor's place," Sun Meiren said contemptuously. The tone was full of grievances for the emperor, "It's a pity, the emperor loves the queen so much on weekdays"
Concubine Cheng glanced at Sun Meiren contemptuously. said lightly, "Sister Sun is really bold, even the queen dares to slander and slander, the mother is the queen of the middle palace." Not to mention that the prince is born to Niangniang, even if it is not, Niangniang is the mother after all, and she will be the queen mother in the future. Moreover, the mother and the emperor have a deep relationship, and the piano is harmonious. How can it be ...... for its own selfish interests? Sister Sun, don't save the hearts of others with your own heart! ”
Everyone insisted on their own words, and after everyone expressed their opinions, the emperor glanced at Zhao Jieyu and Concubine Xian contemptuously, and spoke lightly
"Someone. Go to the imperial dining room and find the cook in charge of my breakfast and Mrs. Li, who delivers the meal, and then go and find Qingyue."
Qingyue is the maid sent by Zhao Jieyu when she bought Chef Guo in the imperial dining room two days ago.
As soon as Concubine Xian and Zhao Jieyu heard that the emperor had invited Qingyue to come, they had a bad premonition. The two looked at each other and waited for a while, when they saw Chef Guo and Qingyue coming in together. The two of them were shocked, looked at each other, and were only in a hurry, but they couldn't think of any way
After the queen saw Qingyue and Chef Guo coming in, her eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Jinxi slightly, and saw that Jinxi nodded to herself, so she put her mind at ease, leaned on the chair, and watched the play seriously
"Slaves (slaves) see the emperor and masters"
The two saluted, and the emperor raised his hand slightly, signaled the two to get up, looked at Chef Guo and asked, "In addition to you and Mrs. Li, who sent the food, whose hands did you pass through today?" ”
Seeing the emperor's culture, Chef Guo hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Back to the emperor, before the slave handed over the food box to Mrs. Li, he did not hand over the food box to others."
Mrs. Li hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, since the food box was handed over to the slave maid, the slave and maid have not faked their hands."
The emperor sneered: "I didn't fake my hands to others, why was the porridge poisoned?" It's just that you can't do it! In the end, the emperor's voice was slightly raised, he looked at Qingyue, and sneered: "I heard that when Chef Guo went to the toilet halfway, who was looking at the food box?" ”
Chef Guo knew that the emperor was pursuing his unauthorized resignation, so he hurriedly kowtowed: "Xu is the slave who ate unclean things in the morning, and has been having diarrhea since the morning, the slave originally wanted to put the emperor's breakfast box in the food box and then go to the toilet after handing it to Mrs. Li, but the slave really couldn't help it, and it happened that the happy girl next to the little master Zhao Jieyu came over, and saw the slave's red face, so she kindly came over to help the slave look at it for a while, so that the slave had time to go to the toilet."
And Qingyue on the side didn't know why the emperor called him to come, and when he heard Chef Guo say this, Qingyue immediately kowtowed in fear: "Emperor Mingjian, the slave has never stepped into the imperial dining room today, let alone helping Chef Guo look at the food box, the emperor Mingjian"
After Qingyue finished speaking, Xu Zigui immediately answered and said: "Why should Miss Qingyue be so excited, the emperor has not yet convicted, Miss Qingyue has cleaned herself first, if you didn't go to the imperial dining room, who received Zhao Jieyu's food box today?" ”
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Jieyu, with a faint sense of provocation in his eyes: "Don't you really be a thief?"
Zhao Jieyu didn't expect Chef Guo to say this, she always thought that Chef Guo was bought by herself, and at this time she wanted to help them bite the queen back, now Chef Guo said this, Zhao Jieyu hurriedly knelt in front of the emperor and begged: "Your Majesty, the emperor must not listen to the words of the lord of Yunjin, the concubine's food box is Qingxiang to obtain, how can it become Qingyue"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, Chef Guo wronged the slave and maid like this, there must be a ghost in his heart" Qingyue also knocked his head to the ground
Xu Zigui happily watched the master and servant work so hard, the virtuous concubines and they probably couldn't imagine that Chef Guo was the emperor's person on the surface, and he was bought by them behind his back, in fact, Chef Guo's real master was the queen, as early as the prince's mansion, before the emperor ascended the throne, the queen accepted Chef Guo as a confidant, at this time, how could Chef Guo speak for the concubine, it happened that at this time, Jin Xiang brought Chef Qin, who was in charge of Zhao Jieyu's meal, to come over and give a slight blessing to the emperor
"The emperor atoned for his sins, and the slave maid took the initiative to bring the Qin cook"
The emperor nodded and said, "You have a heart", and then asked Cook Qin: "Which one is the one who went to receive the food box from Zhao Jieyu in the side hall of Xiansi Palace today?" ”
On the way here, Jin Xiang instructed Chef Qin, and promised Chef Qin a lot of benefits, and at this time, Chef Qin was naturally pleasing to him
"Back to the emperor, today is the food box that the happy girl next to the little master Jieyu came to receive"
After listening to Chef Qin's answer, the emperor looked at Qingyue with a sneer, and asked coldly, "Qingyue, what else do you have to explain?" As he spoke, he looked coldly at Concubine Zhao Jieyu and the others, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty cruelty: "I found out before I came to Xiansi Palace, seven days ago, Zhao Jieyu's side Qingyue gave Chef Guo a sum of money, asking Chef Guo to poison my food, but Chef Guo refused, and Chef Guo had such a mind today!" ”
"Concubine Xian, you say, love a maid, why do you want to poison me! Concubine Zhao is married to the fourth child, her husband is the sky, the fourth child is the future support of Concubine Zhao, why does Concubine Zhao want to harm the fourth child? ”
"It's not a concubine, the emperor, it's really not a concubine who wants to poison you, your majesty!"
Concubine Xian felt that she was really wronged at this time, she thought about poisoning the emperor, but the key is to prepare to do it, she hasn't done it yet, she hasn't figured out how the poison in the emperor's porridge came from, the emperor is going to convict her, do you say she is wronged?
"Your Majesty, it's really not the concubine's doing, you have to believe in the concubine, the emperor" said while kneeling and walking to the emperor's side and hugging the emperor's legs: "The concubine's heart for you can be seen by the sun and the moon, the emperor"
The emperor directly raised his leg and kicked Concubine Xian to the side, and said contemptuously: "What? If you can't explain it, you just cry? Scold! Since you can't explain it, let me explain it to you! ”
As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Zhao Jieyu, who was trembling on the side, and said, "Do you think I don't know what your aunt and nephew are up to?" It's just that I think that the prince is fighting on the front line at this time, and if I don't do anything, he won't be able to come back, so I can give your son a chance! The turtle that appeared in the queen's palace was also deliberately framed by your buyers, isn't the purpose to make the concubine of the middle palace the son of the queen of crime, and then poison the fourth child, and no one will grab that position with your son! It's stupid to look at everyone! To use such means is simply a crime that deserves death! ”
Concubine Xian and Zhao Jieyu listened to the emperor's words, they thought they were doing seamlessly, but they didn't expect to become a clown in the eyes of the emperor
Zhao Jieyu was even more panicked, and when she was in a hurry, she felt a faint pain in her abdomen, and Xu Zigui happened to turn pale at this time, pointing at Zhao Jieyu and panicking
"Blood! Zhao Jieyu is bleeding! (To be continued)
