314 Cross-examination (2)
Shou'an Palace.
Qu Wuwu sat in front of the dresser in the dormitory, picked up a golden hairpin in his hand and gestured at the bronze mirror, then frowned and put it down, picked up another golden step and inserted it into his sideburns, looked at himself in the bronze mirror carefully, and showed a satisfied expression.
Lilac, who couldn't intervene at all, stood beside her with her hands down, and saw that the look on her face looked very leisurely, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Niangniang, aren't you worried at all?" ”
"Worried?" Qu Wuwu glanced at her from the bronze mirror when he heard this, "What do I have to worry about?" ”
"Of course it's the concubine who went and returned!" Lilac reminded, "Niangniang, you also know that before our emperor ascended the throne, that person was already his wife, and the relationship between the two of them was so good, and now that she is back, doesn't the emperor want to take you in his eyes?" ”
Over the years, she has seen it in her eyes, her own master's heart is higher than the sky, and she is unwilling to just have a powerless and powerless "concubine Niangniang", so she managed to attract the attention of today's saints, and finally got today's status, and now there is a person who threatens her, no matter how she says she shouldn't be so leisurely!
Qu Wuwu finally took his eyes off the bronze mirror, glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Even if their relationship is good, it was already three years ago, she has been married to Bailiao Country for so long, which man can bear it?" Not to mention the emperor! ”
"That being said, but ......" Although what she said made sense, Lilac still felt that things were not so simple, "Our emperor's mind ......"
"Enough!" Before she could finish speaking, Qu Wuwu interrupted her impatiently, "You have time to tell me about these things here, why don't you inquire about the situation outside and see how they are doing." ”
After being reprimanded by her, Lilac didn't dare to say more, nodded and said, "Slave and maid, let's go!" ”
However, she didn't go out for a while, so she hurriedly turned back again, and said to Qu Wuwu with a solemn expression: "Niangniang, it's not good! The concubine is here! ”
Qu Wuwu was stunned when he heard this, and then stabilized his mind and said: "She will come when she comes, what's wrong?" You look like you are flustered and a thief, so that others will think that we have done something unseemly! ”
"I'm sorry mother, the slave is wrong!" Lilac hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake, then raised her eyes again and asked worriedly, "Niangniang, what should we do now?" ”
"What to do?" Qu Wuwu glanced at her angrily, "She wants to come to the main palace, this Shou'an Palace, that's her business, as for whether to see her or not, it's up to the palace to say it!" Go, you hurry up and close the door of the temple, let's close the door for her!" ”
She had probably guessed the purpose of Qu Wurong coming to her today, although she was surprised that Qu Wurong had found out about her body so quickly, but she didn't feel worried at all, as long as Qi Jun didn't betray her, Qu Wurong wouldn't be able to catch her at all!
Hearing her say this, Lilac could only go and close the door of the temple as she said, but before she could reach the door, she heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.
I saw Qu Wurong walking towards the dormitory with a large group of people, and seeing her move to close the door, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly trotted forward to stop, "Bold!" Seeing that the concubine didn't hurry up and saluted, she still had to turn people away, who gave you such courage? ”
Lilac lowered her head when she was reprimanded by him, and was about to salute when she heard her master's voice from behind, "It was given by this palace, what, do you have an opinion?" ”
Xiao Shunzi turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Qu Wuwu walking out of the dormitory, and without saying a word, he slapped him loudly first, "You slave is the one who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and there is only one lady in the harem, where did the noble concubine Niangniang come from?" ”
Seeing that she sprinkled all her anger on Xiao Shunzi, Qu Wurong couldn't look past the person behind him, and looked at the person in front of him, "If you are angry, come at me, don't take down the person and be angry!" ”
"Who does this palace use to be angry, do you still need to take care of it?" Qu Wuwu looked at her with a proud expression.
Qu Wurong didn't want to entangle with her too much, and didn't pay attention to her provocative words, turned his head to the person behind him and ordered: "You all go down first, I have something to say to Concubine An Niangniang alone." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi agreed and left with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
Seeing this, Lilac looked at Qu Wurong, and then at her master, not knowing whether she should leave with them or continue to stay, "Niangniang......"
"You can go out too." Qu Wuwu rarely didn't go against the person in front of him this time, and ordered her.
Lilac nodded, turned and walked out.
There were only two of them left in the huge dormitory, Qu Wuwu glanced at the person in front of him, turned around and walked towards the dormitory, and asked as he went, "What do you want to do when you break into my dormitory with such fanfare?" Could it be that as soon as you come back, you want to take the palace and stand up? ”
Qu Wurong ignored her cynicism, and said straight to the point: "Hand over the medicine!" ”
"Medicine?" Qu Wuwu turned to look at her, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a sneer, "If you are sick, go to the Tai Hospital to find the Tai Doctor to take a look, what kind of medicine to get from the palace?" This palace is not a doctor! ”
Seeing that she deliberately diverted the topic, Qu Wurong couldn't help frowning, and continued patiently: "I'll say it again, hand over the medicine you gave to the emperor!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Qu Wuwu's face immediately changed, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes when he looked at her, "This palace warns you, you can eat indiscriminately, but you must not talk nonsense!" Speaking of this, she paused for a moment before continuing: "You said that the palace gave the emperor medicine, what evidence can be proven?" ”
"If I find evidence, the person who is talking to you now is not me, but Dali Siqing!" Qu Wurong looked at her coldly, "Do you know what the crime of murdering the emperor is?" ”
"Huh!" Hearing her words, Qu Wuwu couldn't help but chuckle, "You said that this palace conspired to kill the emperor, did this palace conspire to kill the emperor?" What do you think you are, will Dali Siqing listen to your side of the story? ”
Seeing that she always looked like she didn't eat oil and salt, Qu Wurong's patience was about to run out, but she still persuaded bitterly: "The matter is done by you, it is a matter of time before you find evidence, while this matter has not completely made a big trouble, you should quickly hand over the medicine to me now, let me take it to save the emperor, and then I can intercede for you in front of the emperor; If you are so obsessed again, once you are convicted of murdering the emperor, then all the people of the Qu family will suffer with you, are you willing to see such a result? ”
"Don't mention the Qu family in front of me!" Her words made Qu Wuwu's face cold, "If it weren't for you, a broom star, would I have come to this point?" Even if something happens to the people of the Qu family at that time, it will all be your fault, and it has nothing to do with me! ”
Qu Wurong was finally worn out of all her patience by her stubbornness, and she stopped talking nonsense with her, but just asked coldly: "I'll ask you again at the end, are you stubborn and unrepentant?" ”
"This palace has not done anything wrong, why should he repent?" Qu Wuwu asked confidently, "If you have evidence, go to Dali Temple to sue the palace, and if there is no evidence, get out of the palace!" ”
Qu Wurong didn't answer, but stared at her face for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Thinking that she had given up on asking herself, Qu Wuwu's face was about to show a touch of joy, but she saw her open the door of the hall and ordered outside: "Someone! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a team of Imperial Forest Army armed with blades breaking through the door, Qu Wuwu didn't expect her to do this, and could no longer maintain her composure and reprimanded: "Qu Wurong, what do you want to do?" ”
Qu Wurong glanced back at her, but did not answer her question, but commanded to the team of imperial forest soldiers in front of him: "Take her to Dali Temple for me and imprison her!" ”
"You dare!" Hearing her words, Qu Wuwu was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and looked at her with a gloomy face, "Qu Wurong, this palace is an concubine canonized by the emperor himself, you don't have the right to treat this palace like this!" ”
It's a pity that no matter what she says at this time, Qu Wurong can't listen to it, and just orders the Royal Forest Army to act according to her own orders, and those Royal Forest Army have already received orders from their own commanders before, saying that they are all obeying the orders of this noble concubine, so they no longer hesitate at this time, and stepped forward to take Qu Wuwu out.
I didn't expect them to really dare to do this, Qu Wuwu was shocked and scared, and scolded loudly while struggling: "You dog slaves are so bold, dare to treat this palace like this, when the emperor wakes up, this palace will definitely let you die without a place to bury!" ”
The voice gradually disappeared as she was taken farther and farther away, Qu Wurong took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the outside of the dormitory, and instructed Xiao Shunzi, who had been waiting in the outer hall for a long time: "You take a few people to search this place thoroughly, I guess she should hide the medicine here!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi agreed, and took a few palace maids and eunuchs behind him and began to search everywhere.
As soon as Qu Wurong walked out of Shou'an Palace, he met Xu Ke who came to hear the news, he came to her in three steps and two steps, and asked in a low voice: "Guifei Niangniang, my subordinates heard that you asked you to send Concubine An Niangniang to Dali Temple?" ”
"yes!" Qu Wurong nodded, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Ke hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "My subordinates think that this is probably a little inappropriate, after all, she is the emperor's concubine, and we have not found any evidence to prove that she has anything to do with the emperor's illness, if she is sent to prison like this, I am afraid that it will attract the criticism of the courtiers." ”
"I can't care about that much now!" Qu Wurong naturally thought of this, but compared to being criticized by the courtiers, she cared more about Shen Wuan's life!
Qu Wuwu insisted on refusing to hand over the medicine, she couldn't think of any other way to force her, only to let Dali Siqing, who specializes in trying the case, help her to extract a confession, if there are any strict consequences caused by this, then she can't care about it!
Thinking of this, she looked at Xu Ke, who still wanted to say something, and said solemnly: "Commander Xu doesn't have to worry, no matter what the consequences of doing this will be, I will bear it alone." ”
Hearing her say this, Xu Ke stopped persuading her, and instead talked about another thing: "His subordinates asked Qi Jun to interrogate, but he refused to say anything, only that after the emperor fell ill, Concubine An asked him to go over to treat the emperor, and he didn't know anything else!" ”
