Chapter 345: What medicine is sold in the gourd
As soon as Huo Jingcheng came in, he asked her straight to the point, Yao Duran was the first time he saw him so angry with him, and the trouble in Du Mansion was so big that he knew about it now, I was afraid that even he would be unable to end it.
The mother of a country magnificently poisoned the official wife, and by mistake poisoned the two-year-old girl, scaring the eight-year-old boy stupidly.
The Mother of the Nation's trip is already very bad! Especially when she is only in the position, she has not yet shown her mother's etiquette, let alone her virtue, but she has come to such a show, and the profound impact will be difficult to reverse, and even Huo Jingcheng's reputation will decline!
It is said that it is not impossible for the queen to dispose of people, as long as the crime is appropriate. But this poisoning did not reveal any crime of Mrs. Du, so in the eyes of the world, the queen poisoned the official wife for no reason, and the teacher was nameless! And at this time, if it is revealed that Mrs. Du falsely accused the queen before, wouldn't she be beating herself up again? Huo Jingcheng said that he wanted to be spared?
So at the moment, the situation is already very unfavorable, and it is difficult to turn around. So, how can Huo Jingcheng not be annoyed?
At this moment, in the face of his anger and questioning, even though Yao Duran knew that she was wronged, and she also knew that something must have gone wrong, but she knew better whether this matter was caused by her, and she felt ashamed of Du Yan and Huo Jingcheng in front of her.
For a while, my heart was extremely uncomfortable!
She withdrew her hand from his hand, then knelt on the ground, and said with her eyebrows down, "Your Majesty is angry, things are not like this. How could a concubine poison an official's wife? The concubine just wanted to teach Xie Yuanzhi a lesson, so she ordered Fuquan to scare her with non-toxic pastries. β
At this time, Fuquan hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained: "Your Majesty! I really don't blame Niangniang for this! Niangniang just wants to scare Mrs. Du! And the plate of pastries sent by the slave is not poisonous at all! As for how things have turned out the way they are now, the slave is also confused with his mother! I beg Your Majesty not to blame Niangniang! β
Huo Jingcheng listened to the reason, stared at her for a while, but saw that her face was pale, her beautiful eyes were full of water, she bit her lower lip tightly, and her expression was hidden with regret and discomfort. Looking at it, his anger finally faded, he reached out to help her up, pressed her to his chest, and sighed: "I see, Dye'er, I blame you." It seems that someone has stirred up this matter and borrowed a knife to kill someone, and I will investigate it in detail to restore your innocence and correct your name. β
Yao Duran listened, but she was not relieved at all, the pressure brought to her by this matter was not only limited to whether he would blame her, but she was already very sad in her heart.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me, and no matter how wronged she is, she can't be at ease.
Even though Xie Yuanzhi's death is not a pity, the two children are one dead and one injured......
Alas, at this moment, she suddenly felt that she was really in trouble.
It's just that who is involved in this matter? Who will be the one who borrowed the knife to kill someone?
Huo Jingcheng saw that she was silent, thinking that she was frightened, and was busy and comforting: "Dye'er, don't be afraid, as long as you don't do it, I will give you a top when the sky falls." β
Yao Duran sighed deeply: "The matter has come to this, the concubine and His Majesty must always give an explanation." And this matter is full of evidence and material evidence, and the concubines are speechless, in the eyes of others, this is an ironclad fact, if Your Majesty wants to investigate the inside story at this moment, it will be obvious delay and cover-up, which will damage Your Majesty's wisdom, so this explanation must be immediately published. After that, she left his embrace, as if giving up a comfort, the moment she knelt on the ground, she shed two lines of tears: "Your Majesty, please cancel the ceremony after the seal, and then make an order to abolish the queen." Serve the public first, block the mouth of Youyou, and then investigate the matter later. β
After Huo Jingcheng heard this, he refused without hesitation: "Nonsense! How can it be such a child's play after it is abolished? The ceremony can be canceled after the closure, but it is absolutely not possible after the abolition! β
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Qin An hurriedly came in, his face was solemn, and he reported: "Your Majesty! Lord Du has entered the palace! I'm waiting in front of the Imperial Study! β
Du Yan entered the palace at this time to ask for a meeting, for what is self-evident.
When Yao Duran heard this, he hurriedly grabbed the hem of Huo Jingcheng's clothes, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty! Without further ado, Your Majesty will make an order in front of Lord Du in a while! β
Huo Jingcheng stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said, "Don't worry, there is me, everything is not to be feared." After saying that, he suddenly turned to Fuquan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Yesterday, who did you lead to Dufu?" Call me to the courtyard at this moment! β
After a while, a team of attendants gathered in a frightened place outside the main hall.
Huo Jingcheng stood on the steps and looked around, and suddenly ordered solemnly: "Someone!" Beat them with a rod! β
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Yao Duran said with confusion beside him, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" β
Huo Jingcheng didn't answer, only squeezed her hand, and then ordered again: "Fight!" β
After a while, the sound of "crackling" sounded in the courtyard, and the guards screamed and cried out in pain.
However, Huo Jingcheng didn't ask anything, just quietly watched them being beaten, and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
The attendants were all sweating profusely in pain, and screamed again and again: "Your Majesty spares your lifeβNiangniang's life-"
They were all people from their own palace, and when they were beaten at this time, Yao Duran couldn't bear it, but when he thought about it, Huo Jingcheng's heart was so profound, and he had his reasons for what he did, so he hardened his heart and watched silently.
After fighting for a while, Huo Jingcheng finally ordered: "Okay, stop." β
The board finally stopped, and the attendants were relieved, and their faces were white and they all let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, Huo Jingcheng suddenly raised his hand and pointed at them casually: "You, come in." β
The chamberlain he had clicked looked left and right, and found that he was referring to himself, and he was hung again, and followed the emperor and queen into the palace in fear.
After Huo Jingcheng sat down on the couch, he looked at the kneeling attendant and asked, "What's your name?" β
The chamberlain swallowed nervously: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave's name is Liu Han." β
Huo Jingcheng said: "Well, who else is in your family?" β
When Yao Duran heard this, he finally understood what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
......
In front of the imperial study, Du Yan was standing on one side and waiting, only one night, this man was already unbearable, his face was dyed with vicissitudes, haggard, a face was as white as paper, only the stubble on his lips had a strong blue color, the whole person seemed to have lost three souls and seven spirits, and his spirit was dissipated at once.
When Huo Jingcheng saw this, he was also embarrassed in his heart, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and muttered: "Aiqing's Day is changing." β
Du Yan raised his eyes to look at him, but saw the situation behind him through his shoulder, only to see Qin An and Fuquan holding a crumbling chamberlain.
Huo Jingcheng entered the imperial study and said: "Aiqing, I was shocked to hear the bad news in the house, and I felt sad at the same time, and I heard that this matter was related to the queen, and I am ashamed of you." Although I am a king, I can't lose people, because I have already gone to the palace to ask for guilt. β
As he spoke, the group entered the imperial study, Huo Jingcheng paced slowly on the ground, and said: "Unexpectedly, when I asked the queen, the queen insisted that she was wronged, it turned out that the queen ordered someone to go to the house to give pastries, just to scare your wife and teach her a lesson, so that plate of pastries is not poisonous at all." β
When Du Yan heard this, he blurted out: "Your Majesty! β
Huo Jingcheng interrupted him: "Listen to me first." β
"The pastries sent by the queen were originally non-toxic, but later they became poisonous, and naturally someone stirred it up. Then, the problem can only lie with these palace people who deliver pastries. So Fang Cai had already tortured and interrogated them, and sure enough, it was this servant named Liu Han who played a trick and secretly sprinkled poison into the pastry, which caused such a disaster. β
At this time, Fu Quan scolded Liu Han loudly: "Say!! Explain to Lord Du what you just summoned in the Wanton Palace!! β
Liu Han collapsed to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Fuquan! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have done this! Where am I inferior to you? Why does the queen only reuse you and not me?! You flattering traitor! He bullies me and suppresses me every day! It's really a villain's face, and people hate it at a glance! So I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble and make your errand go wrong! Naturally, the queen will not reuse you again!! β
As soon as these words came out, things had a clear eyebrow.
Huo Jingcheng said: "Aiqing, the villain is troubled, the queen is wronged, this matter is such an inside story, naturally, this matter is caused by the queen, the queen also has a certain responsibility, I will give corresponding punishments, first, cancel the post-sealing ceremony, Aiqing should understand what it means, it is equivalent to getting married but not being ceremonious, which is the biggest contempt and humiliation for the future." Second, the queen will no longer be paid for life. As for this Liu Han, let Aiqing dispose of it at will. β
When Du Yan heard this, he actually laughed in a low voice, and the bitter smile implied mockery: "Hehe...... Hehehe......"
Huo Jingcheng turned his eyes to look at Qin Anfuquan: "Take him out first." β
When Qin An and Fuquan escorted Liu Han away, Huo Jingcheng looked at Du Yan and said with a calm face: "Whatever you laugh at, just say whatever you want." β
Du Yan raised his head and looked directly at him without humility or arrogance, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty protects the queen, and casually pulls out a person to fool his subordinates like this, is it worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth?" β
Huo Jingcheng listened, the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer, stared at him and said, "Heaven and earth conscience? Aiqing has not forgotten that I am the sky, and I am the earth! As for conscience, feel at ease! Also, don't be ignorant of many things, how do you Du Yan protect your wife? Have you ever covered up? The queen's previous loss of a child, your wife was not involved? Why did you confine your lady for half a year and not let her associate with Princess Roufu? Well? β
This past incident was suddenly broken by the king in front of him, Du Yan was shocked for a moment, but he was stunned and speechless.
Huo Jingcheng said again: "Talk to me about conscience today? If I am unrighteous and unscrupulous to you, I will rely on your wife to falsely accuse the queen, will she be able to leave alive or can you Du Yan get out of the way? Now that the queen is really wronged, I have also given you a clear and clear explanation, you can admit it, and you have to admit it if you don't recognize it! I didn't hold on to your lady who falsely accused the mother of the country, why did you hold on to the unjust queen? β
