Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Wasp's Tail Needle
The palace maid's voice was loud, as if she had gathered enough strength to say a sentence, which caused an uproar in the hall.
Concubine Xu stood at the top of the palace concubine lineup, staring at the various eyes projected around her in a daze, her expression was shocked, and she reacted after a while, and walked out of the queue quickly with the head of Jinzhu, both kneeling.
Concubine Xu folded her hands and lowered her eyebrows, describing her indignation and unhurried justification:
"Your Majesty, this argument is false. The concubine and Concubine Yu are like sisters, how can they harm her? And the concubine is already a mother, she knows the hardships of pregnancy and raising, and when she sees her sister pregnant, how can she be so ruthless as to poison the emperor and her child! β
Gu Yunxi stared at everything that was happening in front of him incredulously, feeling like he was in a cloud dream.
As Concubine Xu said, she has always been good friends with Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu is pregnant and others harm her, Gu Yunxixin. If the mastermind of this matter is Concubine Xu, Gu Yunxi won't believe it!
Beside her, Leng Qingtang's eyes widened in silence, and his face was solemn.
At this moment, he already understood that a net carrying a huge conspiracy was quietly spreading out in the harem.
The dim eyes of the Dragon Chair God Monarch suddenly condensed the blood light of killing, but with a little unwillingness and heartache, he slowly moved and threw himself into the kneeling Concubine Xu, and the hoarse voice was full of unstoppable heaviness:
"Yuan Jiao...... Why you? β
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged!"
Concubine Xu raised her head, and her sad eyes met the eyes of God Jun.
Liuxia raised her face and shouted at this moment:
"Your Majesty, the slave maid got the abortion medicine through Fangmo in her palace, you sent someone to mention Fangmo and ask about it, Your Majesty!"
The emperor squinted, and two cold swishing eyes were like sharp blades slashing towards the palace maid, and immediately ordered:
"Bring Fangmo here!"
"Chuan Chu Xiu Palace, the palace maid Fangmo entered the palace."
Gonggong Zhang's hands shook the dust, and the eunuch's unique shrill voice came straight out of the Qinming Palace, and in the thick and empty night, it was slightly harsh.
Within a moment, an attendant led a maid into the palace.
The palace maid lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, and her body trembled step by step.
Gu Yunxi carefully looked at her facial features, and quickly recognized her, she was indeed one of the five personal maids who served Concubine Xu in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, Fang Mo.
Fang Mo stopped behind Concubine Xu, and her body collapsed to the ground.
Concubine Xu turned her face to look, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her complexion changed instantly.
Fang Mo kowtowed at this moment, and shouted in his mouth:
"The emperor spares his life, the queen spares his life!"
His eyelashes suddenly raised, and Emperor Jingxiao's eyes swept up a trace of murderous sparks, and he stared fiercely at the palace maid who bowed down and confessed.
Needless to say, as soon as he went to the temple, no one asked him, and he was scared first, and there must be a ghost in this person's heart.
The emperor's facial features were cold, and he asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me, how did you be instructed by your master to force Liuxia, a person from Jingyang Palace, to poison the imperial heir for Concubine Yu!"
Fang Mo clasped his hands together, lowered his head to hide his frightened look, and replied intermittently:
The slave and the maid said, and the slave and the maid all said. Since that day, when he learned that Concubine Yu was pregnant, Master Xu sighed every time in Chuxiu Palace.
On that day, she arranged for a person surnamed Lin to enter the palace and dredged the silver two, and took the position of Zhang Zheng under the Qin Heavenly Prison for him, and then coerced Song Jian Zheng to fabricate the celestial strange theory of 'Flying Confusion and Guarding the Heart' and poisoned the main well of the capital, causing the people of Beijing to mistakenly think that it was the demon fetus conceived by Concubine Yu, which caused the plague to fall from the sky......"
"You're talking nonsenseβ"
Concubine Xu had already heard the fire in her heart, and before Fang Mo finished speaking, she turned around and glared at her fiercely, and under the rage, a pair of clear eyes were burned by the raging firelight, and even the most delicate and delicate face became completely distorted at this moment.
"The palace didn't recognize Lin Zhangzheng at all, and the palace didn't send him to coerce Song Jianzheng to poison the well water in the capital! Why do you want to spray people with blood and frame this palace-"
"Xu Yuanjiao, stop me!"
Emperor Jingxiao's face was gloomy, he hissed angrily, raised his right hand, and smashed the beeswax three-legged toad in his palm to the ground, and fell to pieces.
"The emperor is angry."
Queen Qian got up in panic and knelt down at the same time as everyone.
The hall was silent, and the atmosphere was strange and discordant.
The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, panting for a long time, relying on the side of Yu Xuanji to caress his back, restraining his emotions, staring at Fang Mo with cold eyes, and urging unceremoniously:
"Go on!"
Fang Mo's half-bowed body trembled violently, and continued to state:
After the failure, Niangniang spent all day thinking about other ideas, so that Concubine Yu had to lose the dragon fetus.
Not long ago, she took the shortness of Jingyang Palace Liuxia, and threatened her to serve her secretly, and leave all the connection with her to the slave maid.
Today, the master learned that the imperial concubine summoned Concubine Yu to Yongning Palace, and she thought that the time had come, so she ordered the slave maid to take the medicine to find Liuxia and urge her to do it. As long as Concubine Yu is born, the master will put the blame on the imperial concubine and take the opportunity to pull down the imperial concubine. β
After hearing this, the emperor's complexion changed greatly, because he was too shocked, he forgot to breathe for a long time in the dragon chair, until his face was crimson by himself, and he suddenly woke up, and took a long breath, as terrifying as waking up from a big dream.
Shen Yan slowly turned to look at Concubine Xu, and the emperor suddenly had an unstoppable hatred in his heart, his brows were deeply locked, and he said bitterly:
"Yuan Jiao, you disappointed me too much."
It's a disaster from the sky!
Concubine Xu's eyes were fierce, she was unwilling, she absolutely couldn't let others frame her at will.
Turning around violently, Concubine Xu faced Fang Mo, her face was red, and she shouted:
"Shameless, how much benefit have you received from others, and you are framing this palace in this mouth. The harem knows that I am a sister to Concubine Yu, what benefits can I get from harming her?
Fang Mo smiled bitterly, and a line of tears snatched out of her eyes:
"No one gives any benefits to the slave and maid, and the best person for the slave and maid is you, the slave and the maid obey you in order to repay your kindness.
At the beginning, several little masters came to Chuxiu Palace to sit, and at that time, Master Yu lost his hand and fell to the Seventh Prince and almost caused trouble, and the master thought that Jin Jieyu was jealous that the master had an heir, and since then he has hated her.
In order to take revenge on Jin Jieyu, you thought of deliberately instigating Jin and Sun Er Jieyu to compete for favor and disharmony, so you asked the slave to go to buy the palace maid Miaolan of the Weiyan Pavilion, and deliberately let her release the news when Min Guogong entered the court, saying that the imperial concubine would go to the imperial garden that day, and trick Jin Jieyu to go before losing her manners in front of the palace and being punished and grounded so far. β
ββ¦β¦β
Concubine Xu's heart fluctuated suddenly, and she was stunned and had no rebuttal.
The people in the temple were all shocked.
Beside the emperor, Empress Qian looked confused, her thoughts became more and more messy, and she covered her mouth with her hand and asked in a trembling voice:
"W-What the hell is going on?"
Fang Mo sobbed and wiped his face, and then said:
"The master and Concubine Yu are friendly, this is indeed a well-known thing in the harem, but I don't know that my master originally had another purpose for befriending Concubine Yu.
At that time, Concubine Yu Ren Zhaoyi had a low position and no mother's family to rely on, and she was easy-going and not good at competing with others, so the master wanted to win her over and find a shield for her to compete for favor in the harem.
Later, seeing that Concubine Yu was pregnant and recognized with the Min family, the master was worried all day long, fearing that one day Concubine Yu would give birth to a prince, and the status of the Guogong Mansion would be favored, and the son of Concubine Yu would threaten the seven princes born to the master, so he secretly designed to frame him several times.
Also, she knew that the emperor reused the commander of Dongchang, and she also heard that the Tu guards were the informants placed in the palace by Lord Leng to investigate the fake case. In order to show favor to Lord Lengdu, she left the Tu guards in Chuxiu Palace as an errand boy, paving the way for the alliance with Dongchang in the future and helping the Seventh Prince inherit the unification.
Unexpectedly, the Beijing poisoning case designed by herself was cracked by Dongchang, but fortunately, Lin Zhangzheng escaped and there is no evidence so far, so no one can suspect her.
But because of this, she also realized that Dongchang finally leaned on the Min family, so she hated it and found a mistake to drive the Tu guards out of the palace. On the day the Tu guards left the palace, many people in the palace saw it. β
Leng Qingtang listened to the statement of the palace maid, and his dark eyes were as cold as the night, and under the light of the glittering candles, there was still a faint coldness.
His cheeks itched slightly, and he raised his hand to wipe it off, and his fingertips scratched a handful of cold sweat.
Wan Yuyao is really vicious!
The so-called wasp tail back needle, if you don't prick, it's enough, and if you stick it down, you will be killed and injured!
The anger in Gu Yunxi's chest was ignited by hatred again, she hated those who reversed black and white, and she hated this unfair world even more.
Without the permission of the Overseer, the girl stepped out of the ranks and raised her voice:
"The emperor, the queen's mother, when they were on duty in Chuxiu Palace, they were not known by Master Xu's true identity, and the words of the palace maid Fangmo are quite suspicious, which is not enough to prove it."
"Bold!"
Next to the dragon chair, Gonggong Zhang stared at the triangular eyes, and the cold aura in his eyes lingered, and he shot at Gu Yunxi unceremoniously.
Leng Qingtang was frightened, and stepped forward and said:
"Weichen has no way to discipline his subordinates, and he hopes that the emperor and the queen will forgive their sins. It's just that when the Tu guards returned to Dongchang to talk about the affairs of the palace, they always said that Master Xu was generous to others and treated her very well. I'm afraid that someone in Jingyang Palace will secretly frame the palace concubine with ill intentions, and I hope that the emperor and the queen will think twice. β
"The Emperor's ......"
Empress Qian turned her eyes to the emperor and cautiously persuaded.
Emperor Jingxiao was silent and did not speak, concentrating on narrowing his misty eyes, as if he was thinking quietly.
Concubine Xu's side, Jinzhu couldn't help it, completely lost his mind in anger, leaned over to Fang Mo and tore her in front of the court, shouting sadly:
",, my mother treats you well, why do you want to frame her-"
Father-in-law Zhang waved his hand: "Pull it away." β
The two chamberlains rushed to the front, separated the entangled woman, and Jinzhu was immediately dragged outside the hall.
The waiter let go of Fang Mo, and Fang Mo cried loudly, and said in a low voice to Concubine Xu:
"Niangniang, the slave and maid are grateful for the flood in my hometown that year, and it was you who funded the local yamen to retrieve the bodies of my parents and bury them. Now that the incident at the east window of the palace has happened, the slave and maid don't want you to make mistakes again and again, and your great favor and slave can only be repaid in the next life! β
As soon as the words fell, there was a dull movement, and when everyone came back to their senses, they saw that Fang Mo had hit the coiling dragon in the east of the hall.
The corpse fell limply, blood staining the scales of the golden dragon on the pillar.
