Chapter 134: Thoroughly Investigate the Truth
"Check it out for me." The sound of raising the ground suddenly made Tsing Yi on the stage suddenly stop singing, and everyone in the stands was even more discolored, all of them were silent, lest they become the emperor's punching bag, and the man was still crazy: "Find out the person, I will punish him for capital crimes." ”
Imperial Doctor Xu is still not in a hurry: "Weichen wants to see the tea that Concubine Li has drunk." ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Liancheng pointed to a table behind the emperor and said, "Concubine Fang is sitting there, and the tea is still there." ”
Xu Huaiyu walked over, and when he passed by Xia Ruotong at the next table, his footsteps were slightly suffocated, but he walked over in an instant, grabbed the teacup on the table next to him, put it under his nose and smelled it, and dipped a drop of his finger into his mouth to try it, and his face was already calculated.
"Back to the emperor, in addition to almonds, this tea is indeed filled with aconite powder." He put down his teacup and replied to the man in front of him.
The queen mother changed color in an uproar, and the old people in the palace are no strangers to aconite powder, because of the hot and dry, it is easy to cause vomiting and abdominal pain, and pregnant women are absolutely taboo.
"Who is it?" The muscles on the man's face jumped and jumped, and his face was really scary, and he squeezed word by word: "One of you here counts as one, and no one wants to get out of it." ”
"Your Majesty, it's better to send the Queen Mother back to the palace first."
It was still Queen Yue Biluo who reminded her, and Xuan Xiaoli realized that she was confused, and hurriedly eased her face: "You accompany the Queen Mother back to the palace first." ”
"Yes, the concubine retired."
Yue Biluo saluted, and left with a sigh with the Queen Mother.
The rest of the people waited for interrogation, which was caused by tea, and Xuan Lonely left the people to bring the dining room to be responsible for boiling water and delivering water.
"Your Majesty, the minions didn't do anything." The eunuch who specializes in boiling water is not young, and he is also an old man in the palace, and as soon as he came, he fell on the ground and shouted, "If there is a problem in the water, everyone should have medicine in their cups." ”
Xuan Xiaoli snorted: "You will clear it up, Imperial Doctor Xu, and test other people's cups." ”
Xu Huaiyu answered, checked them one by one, and replied: "The other cups are normal." ”
"Who's delivering the water? Whose hands have passed through it, say it carefully, and do not leave anything out. ”
After investigation, the two eunuchs who delivered the water carried the water, all the way to Changchun Garden, and handed it over to the old palace maid who was in charge of the tea here.
Since there was no problem with the big bucket of water, Dr. Xu checked six small pots, but found no problem, and checked the tea and almonds, but there was still no problem.
"Could it be that I have wronged you? Or is it simply a concubine who harms herself? Seeing that there was no progress, Xuan Lonely became more and more angry, if he couldn't even protect the woman he loved, he, the emperor, would be in vain.
An Jingliang sat there without squeaking, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine remembers that the last thing to serve is an almond tea, and the concubine drank it and had an accident, could it have anything to do with it?" ”
"The Emperor Mingjian."
One of the palace maids ran out and fell to the ground with a thud, and everyone looked at it, and it was so quiet.
"I also remember, the last almond tea was presented by you, say!" Xuan Lonely lifted her eyes, she is a person with a criminal record, but I am afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape the involvement.
Tranquility broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, trembling all over: "The slave really hasn't done it, not last time, not this time, ask the emperor to learn clearly." ”
"According to you, I wronged you last time?" No matter how wise Xuan is alone, he is also an emperor, since he is an emperor, no one wants to wear a mediocre hat, sometimes even if he is wrong, he is right.
It seems that the emperor has preconceived ideas, and a person's prejudice is sometimes extremely difficult to change, and Tranquility is very aware of his current situation, and he can't help but despair.
"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare to say that about the emperor, but someone has framed the slave and the maid many times, but this is a fact."
The man snorted from his nose: "Okay, since someone harms you, you point someone out, if it is verified, I will be the master for you." ”
"This ......"
Tranquility was dumbfounded for a while, although there were doubts about the last time, there was no evidence in the end, and no one believed it, and as for this time, there was no way to point it out.
"Your Majesty, you need evidence to convict, don't you?"
She is very smart, since she can't defend herself, then she has the courage to oppose the army, fortunately, the emperor has always boasted of being clear, and will not be guilty of indiscriminate treatment of people, so that it can also be delayed for a while, maybe the queen can make her own decisions.
Sure enough, Xuan Lonely was speechless for a while, although she was angry and bold, she had to admit that she was right.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has an idea, you might as well give it a try." Xu Huaiyu stood up.
Xuan Li's eyes lit up: "Say it and listen to it." ”
"Once this aconite powder is stained, it will be difficult to get rid of it for several days, but now all you need to do is take a basin of water and let her dip her hands in it, and the powder remaining in her nails will float out."
Before the words fell, Tranquility was the first to agree: "The slave is willing to give it a try." ”
Soon, someone brought a basin of water, and the woman did not hesitate to submerge her hands into the water, which made Xuan Xiaoli shake her guess: Could it be that she was really wronged?
"Floated out."
The next moment, an exclamation coupled with what he had seen with his own eyes interrupted his thoughts.
"Tranquility, do you still dare to quibble?" Xuan Lili laughed angrily.
Tranquility looked at the tiny powder floating in the water in disbelief, and a little bit of blackened water, "It's not true, it's not true, the slave didn't do anything......"
is so vicious and unrepentant, the man feels that if he looks at her more, he feels that his eyes are dirty, "Take it down, and the trial is clear." ”
"Queen, the slave maid wants to see the queen, and the queen can prove the innocence of the slave and maid...... Your Majesty, please let the slaves and maids see the queen. The woman broke free from her captor and fell at his feet and screamed.
Xuan Lonely moved in the centrifugation, and a chill appeared in his eyes: "Pull it down, give Bai Aya." ”
"Ahh......h
But she tragically found that she was a woman, where was the opponent of the eunuchs, in addition to screaming miserably, she could only watch being taken down by someone, and then end her life with a zhang of white silk.
"Wait a minute, Concubine Li Niangniang has something to ask the emperor."
A person hurriedly broke in, and when everyone heard the sound, it was Dou Lianyi's personal maid Xiuzhu, only to see her go straight to the emperor and kneel.
"But she's not doing well? Why don't you stay by her side and wait, what are you doing here? Xuan Xiaoli said and took a big stride.
Xiuzhu knelt and turned around, and shouted at his back: "Your Majesty, the concubine is safe and sound, and the master sent a slave to bring a word: let go of tranquility and accumulate blessings for the child in the womb." ”
The man paused, turned around, stared at the man on the ground and asked, "Did she really say that?" ”
Xiuzhu didn't say anything, she only nodded heavily, to be honest, she didn't want to run this trip, she couldn't wait for the emperor to kill that vicious woman quickly, but the master had to ask her to come.
"Tranquility is like this, the woman who deliberately murdered me and the prince should be punished, and now I think that for the sake of the concubine to intercede for her, the death penalty can be avoided, and she will be driven out of the palace immediately, and she will never be allowed to step into the capital for half a step."
I only heard a "bang", and the silence was like fainting to the ground.
"I hope this doesn't happen again." His gaze swept over the women's faces one by one, sharp and clear, like a wordless warning.
An Jingliang was the first to wake up: "The concubine obeys the holy commandment. ”
The other concubines also woke up like a dream, and recited together, Xuan Lonely listened to it in their ears, but it was like a stalk in their throats, these are their own women, pleasing him every day, who knows if it is because they love him or love the power and glory in his hands?
"It's all gone."
He waved his hand a little tiredly and walked away.
In the night, the emperor's sedan chair was speeding in the palace, and Li Liancheng was a little struggling to follow him, "Your Majesty, on the way here, Imperial Physician Xu said that Concubine Niangniang's harm to her has also been related to improper food matching. ”
"Huh? What's going on. The man who had been leaning on the sedan chair sat up suddenly.
Li Liancheng didn't dare to hide it, and immediately replied: "Didn't Hainan pay tribute to a lot of crabs before, Concubine Li felt fresh, and ate it a few more times, there was no problem, but it was ......."
"It's just what, you swallow it again, be careful to treat you." Xuan Lili had already guessed that there must be a story in it, but he didn't know who it was related to this time.
coughing twice, Li Liancheng said in one go: "It's just that when Concubine Li asked the queen to say goodbye that day, she ate two more persimmons, and the queen saw that she liked it, so she gave her the rest." This crab and persimmon are both good things, but they can't be eaten together, otherwise even good people will be nauseous and vomiting, let alone pregnant people. ”
It is also related to the queen.
The moon is falling, you have disappointed me too much.
At the next intersection, Xuan Lili patted the sedan pole: "Go to the Queen Mother's Palace." ”
As soon as the four sedan chair men turned, they were carried all the way to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, and the sedan chair fell, and the man walked down wordlessly, and walked forward step by step with deep steps.
The eunuch in charge hurriedly came up and beat a Qian'er, it seems that he expected to be good, the queen mother has not gone to bed yet, otherwise, Liu Xi would not have stayed here so late.
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."
Xuan Lin left and greeted his mother who was leaning on the chaise longue in a dignified manner.
"Sit down." The Empress Dowager Xiaoren didn't get up, only raised her finger and pointed to the chair next to the couch, and closed her eyes tiredly: "I didn't expect Tranquility to be so frustrated, harming people again and again, the mourning family saw that she was not only confused, but also stupid, and it was not a pity for this kind of person to die." ”
He stroked the bright yellow robe and smiled faintly: "If it's just that she's confused, it's not a matter of worry." ”
"What does the emperor mean......" Empress Dowager Xiaoren opened her eyes in an uproar, "You doubt the empress?" ”
Xuan Li's face did not change, "Erchen didn't." came over so late, firstly, the queen mother was frightened, and the sons couldn't help it; Second, I want to ask the queen mother, does the original agreement still count? ”
