Chapter 247: The Land of Roundabouts
The white sky of Ziwei Palace came into view, and the infinite sadness and misery lingered in people's hearts.
Yan Xi was escorted to the mourning hall, she raised her eyes and saw that the entire mourning hall was crowded with people, and the black and oppressive eyes made people feel even more panicked.
Except for the emperor and the queen, and the palace people who served around the emperor, the others were all unfamiliar faces, and they all stared at her with fierce faces, and the fierce and vicious look seemed to swallow her alive.
The heart was pounding, and a bad premonition came to her heart, Shuli's face did not have a trace of panic, and she knelt down indifferently with the palace maids of Ziwei Palace.
"Long live the emperor, the queen mother Wan'an."
The emperor glanced at the queen coldly, the queen's heart trembled, and the phoenix eyes hurriedly threw themselves at Yan Xi, as if they wanted to know something from Yan Xi's face.
Helpless, Yan Xi was too calm, and the queen couldn't see anything unusual at all, but she saw that Yan Xi's exposed skin was red and swollen, which made people dare not look at it directly.
The queen's phoenix eyes couldn't help but sink slightly, and she threw herself on the face of the indifferent emperor, she seemed to be asking, did you torture Yan Xi?
The emperor ignored the empress, but walked straight towards Yan Xi, his eyes deep and cold.
"Imperial Doctor Yan, how did you say that the concubine died?"
The short sentence exploded in the mourning hall like a thunderbolt on the ground, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and everyone turned their eyes on Yan Xi.
The queen's nervous whole heart rose to her throat, and her hands hidden in her wide sleeves were clenched tightly, and her fingertips were white.
Yan Xi raised his head, and his clear eyes met the emperor's deep eyes. In just a few days, the confident emperor in front of him has aged a lot, Yan Xi couldn't help pursing his lips and squeezing out his voice with difficulty.
"Your Majesty. The minister said it very clearly that day. The concubine Niangniang took oleander and died of poisoning. ”
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he said lightly.
"I gave you one last chance, and I missed you hitting your head on the ground. Tell the truth, remember your first offense and spare your life. ”
Although the emperor's voice was soft, his tone was terrible. More threatening.
The queen's face turned pale, her heartstrings tightened, and she felt like she smelled death.
And everyone stared at Yan Xi suspiciously. It seems that he wants to see something from Yan Xi's expression.
Yan Xi seems to be not afraid of the emperor's threat, the main reason is that she was wronged at all, she was kind enough to save people but was framed, and she is now a dumb person eating coptis. There is suffering.
There were tears in her eyes. But with tears in his eyes, he didn't let it flow, and stubbornly refuted the emperor.
"The emperor talks about evidence in everything, and the minister hopes that you can come up with evidence. Make it clear in front of everyone that there is justice and innocence for the minister. ”
Yan Xi's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every sentence was gripping people's hearts.
Damn, if you don't play like this, you will be wrongfully accused of being a murderer if you are kind enough to save people. She's really fed up, she's going to die anyway. It's better to fight for yourself a chance to live.
As soon as Yan Xi's words fell, everyone was puzzled, this was a song, looking at the emperor's increasingly cold face, but he didn't dare to squeak, just watched quietly, waiting for the result.
When the queen heard Yan Xi's words, her nervous heart couldn't help but relax a little, and her slightly squinted eyes were full of appreciation for Yan Xi.
Seeing Yan Xi's quibble, Lu Fu angrily lined up everyone, and walked in front of Yan Xi step by step, she frowned, staring at Yan Xi with a resentful expression.
"Imperial Doctor Yan said that the concubine is still saved, right?"
"Yes." Yan Xi solemnly replied to Lu Fu.
Lu Fu's eyes darkened, and she asked Yan Xi a little sharply.
"Imperial Doctor Yan, if you remember what you said, that's fine. I think at the beginning, you told me that the concubine Niangniang's condition would improve after taking your medicine, and we all believed it. I did get better a few days before drinking, but I died after drinking it continuously. I wonder what the hell you put in the medicine, did you mean it? You didn't even think about saving the concubine. ”
The corners of Yan Xi's mouth twitched slightly, a little speechless, what kind of logic is this, her eyes swept to Lu Fu, a little angry, she is not easy to bully, she said at the beginning, please be smart, what now?
Scold......
"I wonder if you're mistaken, Miss Green Leaf, I said I couldn't cure it. Who came to beg me to prescribe a prescription, when the concubine didn't take my prescription, all the sick died. With my prescription, my condition has eased, hasn't it? The death of the concubine has nothing to do with my Yan Xi, but because you palace people did not serve well, you actually let the oleander go down, resulting in the death of the concubine Niangniang. ”
You're going to question, you're going to be aggressive, you're going to be sharp, don't you think I can't?
Yan Xi explained everything in a few words, what is going on, I believe that anyone with a brain can understand what is going on.
The emperor's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he coldly glanced at the palace people in Ziwei Palace, as if he wanted to kill them immediately.
Of course, the palace people of Ziwei Palace understood that they immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic and kept splashing dirty water.
"Your Majesty, it's not a slave, it must be Imperial Doctor Yan's problem. The slave maid never neglected the concubine when she fell out of favor and was even terminally ill, how could she do anything when the concubine was dying. Wronged, the emperor ......"
The sound of injustice filled the mourning hall, and the queen mother rubbed her head a little tiredly, and it will only become more and more troublesome if it goes on like this. She walked up to the emperor and said displeasedly.
"Your Majesty, you can't find the murderer in this way, it's better to do what the queen mother said, and let the people of Dali Temple investigate this matter. Let's let my sister settle in the ground first! ”
The emperor's eyes moved, and he glanced at the empress, his eyes full of distrust.
Hearing this, Lu Fu immediately knelt down and pleaded in grief.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for the concubine. Handed over to Dali Temple, it is inevitable that someone will do something, it is better to take advantage of so many people to figure things out now, and don't let the bad guys go unpunished. ”
Lu Fu's words meant something, and the queen's face was ugly, but she didn't speak, she just glanced at Lu Fu lightly, as if telling Lu Fu, let's ride a donkey and read the record book!
Yan Xi agreed with Lu Fu's words, and she echoed and said.
"The minister hopes that the emperor can return justice to the minister, and the minister has suffered an injustice and grief in his heart. The minister agreed with Miss Green Fu's approach. ”
The emperor didn't seem to believe that Yan Xi would approve of Lu Fu's approach, he glanced at Yan Xi, a little puzzled.
"You really agree with Green Fu's approach, and you don't have any objections."
Yan Xi shook his head and said solemnly.
"The minister has no objections at all."
The queen stared at Yan Xi in disbelief, as if asking Yan Xi, what do you want?
"Okay, I'll figure it out today so that no one feels wronged."
"No one has been wronged, and I know what happened."
Just as everyone was about to watch the show, a soft voice came in from outside the mourning hall, interrupting everyone's thoughts. (To be continued......)
