285. 286 Confusing

Concubine Hui ignored her injuries and tried to climb the steps, but was stopped by Zhan Tao and others.

Concubine Hui is now a key criminal who was poisoned, no matter what the prima facie evidence is, Concubine Hui can't get close to the emperor and the queen mother now.

Concubine Jin was high up at the moment, looking at Concubine Hui who was wolf and Lin Ran who was tied up, her eyes were full of pride.

It's just that when she saw the coldness that flashed in Lin Yidong's eyes, Concubine Jin couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

In fact, she also knows that even if Concubine Hui is eradicated, the queen's position is not so easy to shake, and Concubine An has not been able to shake the queen's throne for so many years, if she wants to succeed, she must bring down Concubine An, and make the queen mother's dissatisfaction with the queen more and more deep!

Concubine Jin glanced at Concubine Hui disdainfully.

It makes no sense that this woman can live in the palace until now! And her son who is a wreck, it doesn't make sense to live in the palace for so long!

Is it so fateful to see them this time?

Concubine Hui was stopped, Lin Ran was tied up again, and the focus of everyone's attention fell on Lin Yidongyao again.

A certain master is still a light and breezy face.

"Dongyao, what's going on?"

At this moment, even the Queen Mother couldn't hold her breath, and looked at Lin Yidongyao with her eyebrows.

"Grandma Huihuang, father, the plate of vegetables is a silver plate, just because silver can detect poison, but the toxicity of this poison is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary silver plates."

Lin Yidongyao said, pointing around the plate.

There was no discoloration on all sides of the plate.

The royal family of the Celestial Empire believed too much in silver plates to identify poisons, but throughout the ages, there were many poisons that could not be identified by silver.

"This plate—"

The emperor stared at the pattern of auspicious clouds on the side of the plate.

"Father, the palace silversmith has finally improved the purity of the previous silver plate by one percent after many years, but the emperor and the imperial grandmother pursued frugality, so they have not replaced the ordinary silver plate, but some silver plates will add some auspicious patterns of higher purity silver forging at the top, such as the auspicious cloud pattern around this plate is added later, but because it is on the edge of the plate, it will not be touched when serving the dish, but when the palace maid passes the dish, even if she is careful, it is still possible to spill a drop or two.

The eighth brother is lively and young, and when the palace maid was serving the food just now, he was dancing and talking about something, so he inadvertently touched the hand of the palace maid, and splashed out a drop or two of vegetable soup sprinkled on the auspicious cloud pattern, but it did not show up immediately at that time, until the eighth brother was poisoned, and I found a flaw when I ran over! Father, grandmother, please see, the auspicious cloud pattern on the eighth brother's plate has been completely black. ”

Lin Yidongyao said, handing the plate to Zhan Tao.

Even though Zhan Tao has been accustomed to seeing big scenes by the emperor's side for many years, the current situation is the first time he has encountered it.

Zhan Tao stepped forward with a plate in shock, except for a dozen imperial doctors who were busy with diagnosis and consultation, everyone else looked at Lin Yidongyao in amazement.

It is true that the court silversmith practiced silverware of higher purity a few years ago, but the emperor and the queen mother have always practiced frugality, even if they are heavy, they are also simple. Therefore, most of the palace silverware was made when the emperor ascended the throne.

Lin Yidongyao's words seem to be flawless.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor glanced at each other, but there was a strange look in the Queen Mother's eyes, and after the full moon was captured, she lowered her eyes quietly, and she was more and more incomprehensible to this play in her heart!

This is a one-person layout for 100 people! Or are they all moving their minds, you move a little, I move a little, originally wanted to ask for a little cheap or a big bargain, but who knows that it has evolved into such a difficult situation now?

"So—it's really poisonous?" The emperor's face was a look of sudden realization.

Concubine Hui knelt on the ground, and Lin Ran stopped struggling, looking at the silver plate in a daze.

"Imperial Doctor, how's it going?"

The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes swept Concubine Hui and gritted her teeth.

It's just that the eyes that looked at Concubine Hui were really a little weird, not like hatred, but a touch of doubt.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the gold, vegetables and silver Ruyi cooked by Concubine Hui Niangniang are indeed poisonous, and this poison is very strange, exactly the same as the poison in the one hundred and seventy-eight mouths of the Pang Hou Mansion fifteen years ago, but there was no antidote at that time, so——"

The imperial doctor glanced at the Queen Mother's face when he said this, and seeing that the Queen Mother did not speak, the imperial doctor hurriedly stepped aside.

"Immediately give the antidote to the Zhongqing's family."

The toxins in the emperor's body have been almost cleared at this moment, and more than a dozen imperial doctors just now are surrounding the emperor and the queen mother, and the two are naturally the first to clear the poison, followed by Lin Nande also woke up slowly, but his face was terrifyingly pale, and the queen mother hurriedly instructed her personal eunuch to settle down Lin Nande.

"Your Majesty, could it be that the wave of people has made a comeback in fifteen years?" The Queen Mother whispered in the emperor's ear.

The emperor's face was slightly sideways, but his eyes became deeper and more fierce.

"It's okay if the queen mother is fine, and other things will be discussed in the long run."

The emperor spoke out to appease the queen mother, but his heart was even more nervous and indignant than the moment of poisoning.

If the people who poisoned this time were the same people as fifteen years ago, then they would still not give up! Is it necessary for the entire Lin Dynasty to be extinct before you will give up?

The emperor's sharp and majestic eyes quickly swept over everyone in an instant, his gaze stayed on the face of the full moon for a moment, and then fell on the face of Lin Ran, who had a blank expression, and finally looked at the face of Concubine Hui, whose eyes were full of tears and begging.

"Come on, Concubine Hui and the third prince will be escorted first, waiting for me to decide!"

The emperor ordered coldly, but his face became more and more ugly.

Today's episode is more like a warning from the poisoner to everyone, or even a provocation! It is clear that they are suing the emperor, they are fully capable of killing the emperor, but they deliberately created a flaw to give everyone a chance to breathe!

It's like a game where you chase after me, except that the other party is in the dark and the others are in the light.

This is a great provocation for the emperor and the queen mother to persuade them!

Fifteen years ago, the Pang Hou Mansion ushered in a catastrophe, more than 170 people were infected with a strange poison, and the poison went through three days and three nights, from the Hou Ye to the Hou Ye's wife to the concubines in the mansion, none of them were spared! After three days and three nights of painful torture, the emperor also sent more than 100 imperial doctors in the palace to detoxify the Pang Hou Mansion, but unfortunately, the imperial doctors in the palace were also helpless, and everyone could only watch Hou Ye and others die of poison.

And the torture of these three days is indescribable and unimaginable.

The pain of poison is unbearable for ordinary people.

Except for Hou Ye, who endured until the last moment and died, everyone else couldn't bear the pain and committed suicide.

When the poison was issued, it was like the feeling of tens of thousands of ants gnawing and tearing, this feeling had not passed, followed by the torture feeling of going up the knife mountain and going down the oil pot, and it was extremely cold, and it was burning, and there was a sharp pain feeling of being torn off the skin and flesh, and on the last day, it was a thousand kinds of flavors that occurred together, and the entire Pang Hou Mansion was three days and three nights, like purgatory on earth, wailing one after another, blood flowed all over every road in the Hou Mansion, more than 170 people, except for a housekeeper, a guard, Then the three young masters of the Hou Mansion, who were only five years old at the time, survived.

Later, the emperor ordered the closure of the Pang Prince's mansion, and the land was always empty. It is rumored that there is nighttime, and the wailing sounds, and the ghosts cry and the wolves howl, so it is not terrifying. No one dared to take a step closer there, even if they were on the watch, they would bypass the Pang Clan Mansion.

For so many years, the Celestial Empire has long existed in name only, and only the long-lasting Linghu Marquis Mansion remains. And the Pang Clan Mansion has long been forgotten outside the clouds.

At that time, the emperor sympathized with the young master of the Hou Mansion and wanted him to live in the palace, but he chose the desolate and harsh desert, and left Kyoto at the age of twelve, that is, the year before the full moon was sent away by the old lady eight years ago, and for so many years, he lived in the desert.

The environment is harsh, it goes without saying.

But he lived there for eight years, and he never returned to Kyoto for eight years.

If it weren't for today's poisoning incident, perhaps the emperor would not have remembered that there was a hereditary marquis mansion in the Celestial Empire.

Perhaps, in a few years, the emperor will be able to find a reason to take off the name of the Pang Marquis Mansion in the name of inaction, and demote his family to commoners, after all, one less hereditary marquis mansion is one less burden and threat to the emperor.

If the Celestial Empire has only one Linghu Hou Mansion, the emperor is naturally easy to master, and it can be attacked and defended, and it is useful to use, if it evolves into a threat, the emperor does not have to do it himself, and naturally there are other ministers who want to replace the Hou Mansion to come forward to bring down the Linghu Hou Mansion, but if it is a situation of double waiting, the emperor is worried about the cooperation of the two sides, and the second is also to take care of the balance of the two sides and hinder each other, which is a trouble for the emperor to affect the whole body.

Therefore, while the emperor is reusing Linghu Hongxi, he has imprisoned his strengths, and when he is a confidant, he will not give him practical useful rights. So it is not so easy for the daughter of the Hou Mansion to become a concubine.

This is the emperor's last move, but now, it seems that this move is about to be broken.

The next qiē was more or less expected by the full moon.

The next day, the emperor announced that it was not someone who had poisoned the dish, but that the golden corn in it was not fresh enough and caused food poisoning after cooking.

In this way, Concubine Hui and Lin Ran were safe.

And the mouthy imperial doctor and the minions who purchased the vegetables were demoted overnight, and they asked for the beheading.

Dozens of lives have been scapegoated in such an unknown way.

In the hearts of the emperor and the queen mother, in order to cover up the truth and the scandal of the royal family, it is naturally necessary to sacrifice more than a dozen people, which is the smallest price in exchange for the biggest concealment!

Early the next morning, in the royal hunting ground, the wind shone and the snow shone, but the dozen or so lives that were innocently killed last night with their limbs tied and gagged will never come back.
