Chapter 187: Poisoned
The slender silver needle was deeply submerged in the osmanthus cake, and everyone's hearts were lifted to their throats, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the silver needle without blinking. However, after a while, Du Sheng pulled out the silver needle, and the needle flashed with a snow-white silver light, which obviously proved that the pastry was not poisonous.
Gong Jueshen's brows were deeply locked, and he turned to Siruo to continue to interrogate: "Did the imperial concubine eat anything else?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the mother did not eat after lunch, until the queen sent pastries in the afternoon, the concubine was hungry, and Lord Mu sent it directly after checking." Siwan replied with red eyes.
"So." Gong Jueshen pondered for a moment, "Have you ever drunk anything?" ”
Siwan shook her head and said, "The slave has been waiting, and the mother is anxious, so she ate a few pastries one after another, and before she could use water, she had an attack. ”
Among the palace maids who were kneeling there, the imperial physician Nanmo lowered his voice and whispered to Mu Qiu: "Lord Mu, could it be that?" ”
This voice came into Gong Jueshen's ears appropriately, and his cold and fierce eyes immediately swept towards Nanmo, "Speak loudly." ”
Seeing that the emperor heard it, Nanmo looked trembling, walked out of the crowd and knelt down in front of the emperor, and replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen is just guessing. ”
"Say." Gong Jueshen's voice was much colder than the thousand-year-old ice.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen knows that there is a medicine called Aracea, if it is crushed into powder and mixed in small doses, it is colorless and tasteless after adding food, even if the silver needle cannot detect toxicity, it will not cause any major problems to the human body if it is eaten for a long time, but if it is eaten by pregnant women every day, it is extremely easy to slip the fetus." Nanmo replied on his knees.
Mu Qiu seemed to suddenly realize when he heard this, got up and walked quickly to the osmanthus cake, twisted a piece of the entrance, tasted it carefully, and then his expression changed greatly, turned back to the emperor and Han Ruo and knelt down heavily, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the negligence of Weichen, there is indeed Tiannanxing in this osmanthus cake, but the amount is very small, if it is not for great attention, even Weichen can't detect it." It is the micro-minister who has the trust of the emperor, and the slippery fetus of the imperial concubine is the crime of negligence of the micro-minister! ”
Gong Jueshen's face was pale, and he coldly ordered: "Bring the queen." ”
But in a moment, the queen had already arrived in the Guan Ju Palace. Since the afternoon, there has been a commotion on the side of Guan Ju Palace, and the queen didn't know what was going on, so she sent someone to inquire but replied that Guan Ju Palace was surrounded by many forbidden soldiers, and she couldn't get close at all. I didn't know what was going on, and the emperor suddenly asked her to take her to Guan Ju Palace, it seemed that it was not good, Teng Tianwu had a bad omen in his heart, and immediately asked his personal maid Jinse and Xiaomeng to inform the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister respectively.
At this moment, people have arrived at Guanju Palace, and as soon as they stepped into Fengxiang Pavilion, they saw that the inside was full of kneeling heads, and the imperial concubine was pale, and she was sitting weakly on the bed, still with a veil on her face. And the emperor was by his side with a haggard face. Seeing himself come in, the emperor's expression was extremely cold and fierce.
Teng Tianwu's heart jumped, but he still pretended to be calm, and after bowing to the emperor in a proper manner, he said: "Your Majesty, you suddenly summoned the concubine to come, but what is the matter?" ”
"But what's the matter?" Gong Jueshen almost gritted his teeth and repeated Teng Tianwu's words.
Teng Tianwu was puzzled for a while, but the cold Ruo beside Gong Jueshen had already attacked, she rushed to Teng Tianwu like crazy, and scolded: "Slut! Why do you want to harm my child? ”
Teng Tianwu retreated again and again, and said, "The imperial concubine is cautious! When did Hongu harm your child! ”
Du Sheng on the side had already preemptively opened his mouth to testify, "Queen Mother, you still admit it, the Aracea in the osmanthus cake has been experienced, I can't imagine that you are so vicious, adding a small amount of Aracea that even a silver needle can't detect in the diet sent to Guan Ju Palace every day, and it accumulates over time, killing the fetus of the imperial concubine!" ”
When the queen heard this, her face turned pale, she didn't expect such a big crime to be pressed on her head, no one in the six palaces knew how nervous the emperor was about this fetus! If this crime is forcefully charged, it is not only as simple as abolishing it, I am afraid that it will be lifeless, but it is just a moment of thought, the queen has already knelt down in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" The food and drink sent to the concubine's palace every day by the concubine's henchman Mu Qiu were checked to be non-toxic, how could the concubine's body poison the concubine! ”
Mu Qiu smiled coldly and argued: "This is the queen mother, your cleverness, originally the food sent by the queen's palace, where did Weichen dare to check, but the people sent by the mother must be checked by Weichen every day, who knows that it is confident in the accuracy of dose control, and it is expected that Weichen will not be able to check it." Even the excuse for the future has been thought of, the queen is really a good plan! ”
"Shut up!" Teng Tianwu was furious, "You dare to lie and frame this palace!" ”
Before Du Sheng could answer, Gong Jueshen suddenly attacked, "Slut! With a scolding, he got up and slapped the queen to the ground, this is already the second time that Gong Jueshen has slapped the queen for Han Ruo.
The queen's cheeks were high and swollen, hot and painful, her throat was sweet, and she spit out a mouthful of blood when she opened her mouth, which shows that Gong Xichen is heavy.
"Drag this slut down to me." Gong Xichen's dark eyes seemed to be burning with silent flames, and even his voice became gratuitously terrifying, "Five horses split the corpse!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Teng Tianwu almost fainted after hearing this, and knew in his heart that if he fainted at this moment, he would definitely die, so he held on, "The concubine is wronged!" ”
"Emperor!" A cold rebuke sounded outside the door, and everyone looked back, hurriedly kowtowing to say goodbye, "See the Queen Mother." Teng Tianwu even saw a savior, "The queen mother save me!" ”
The person who came was the Queen Mother Teng Anqi, and she was followed by the queen's personal maid Jin Se, if it weren't for Jin Se's fast steps, I am afraid that the queen would have died at this moment. The Queen Mother strode forward, walked in front of Han Ruo, and said hatefully: "You still have to disturb how uneasy the harem is, so you are satisfied!" ”
"Queen Mother!" Gong Jueshen spoke in a very heavy tone.
Han Ruo snorted coldly and said sadly: "Queen Mother, have you ever tasted the pain of losing a child? ”
Teng Anqi's face was slightly distorted, and he said coldly to Han Ruo: "Since the emperor accepted you, the mourning family is like losing this son!" ”
"Mother, this is also my child! You know, that's a formed boy! Gong Jueshen remembered that when Fang Cai was in a coma, he hurried to come after learning about it, Mu Qiu happened to have brought out the fetus with the help of the palace people, and everyone stopped Gong Jueshen from seeing it, but Gong Jueshen insisted on seeing it. When he held the bloody thing, he knew the taste of blood and bones, and the grief of losing his son!
"The queen will not, and she will not dare to murder your child!" Teng Anqi concluded.
"The evidence is conclusive, Queen Mother!" Gong Jueshen said coldly; "This slut, I have to kill him today!"
"The mourning family wants to see what evidence there is to prove that the daughter-in-law personally selected by the mourning family for you would do such a poisonous thing." Teng Anqi sat down calmly on the chair that the palace people hurriedly raised.
Mu Qiu held back the smile, stepped forward and knelt down, and spoke......
