After Liuyu left, Shen Jiahe came to the imperial study with his stomach in his hand, and the first thing he said when he saw Pei Yuan was: "The murderer is Zhenzhen, and there is a problem with that beef." ”

Pei Yuan nodded, in order to get medicine for Bai Ying, the murderer's matter was temporarily put on the back of his mind, but now it seems that everything is very clear, Zhenzhen is simply bold.

"It was you who she wanted to frame in the first place, which is why so many things came about." Pei Yuan blamed himself, "She has good skills, I originally thought that she couldn't make any waves in the palace, but I didn't expect to let her get it, it was my carelessness." ”

This was the same as Shen Jiahe guessed, she paused before saying, "There's no need to blame yourself for that kind of vicious woman, but what are you going to do with Zhenzhen?" ”

Earlier, Zhenzhen was locked up by Shen Jiahe on charges of slandering the queen, but later heard that the queen mother was seriously ill and crying and asking Zhenzhen to go back to serve, Shen Jiahe didn't want to worry too much about her, and finally sent her back.

Now if you want to go to Jiuluan Palace to get people, I'm afraid it won't work without evidence.

Pei Yuan paced back and forth in the main hall, and after muttering for a long time, he said: "Since we already know that the murderer is her, I simply locked her up in the Jiuluan Palace, and the queen mother of the province made some trouble, and then sent someone to find evidence, so that she must confess." ”

Shen Jiahe directly changed the chief manager and ordered: "The steward in the Queen Mother's Palace, you go and say hello, lock Zhenzhen in the Queen Mother's house, and don't allow her to come out for half a step without the order of the palace and the emperor." ”

The chief manager replied yes, and then went out to arrange, Pei Yuan waited for him to leave, and then called the head of the guard to come over and order: "Jiuluan Palace is strictly guarded inside and outside, even if a fly flies out, you have to figure out the reason, as for that Zhenzhen, if the people in the Queen Mother's Palace can't stop it, it's up to you." ”

Zhenzhen didn't know anything about this, she was about to go back to her bedroom after serving the Queen Mother to sleep, when she found many guards standing at the door.

"This bad brother, is something wrong?" Zhenzhen asked cautiously.

The guards didn't even look at her, and replied coldly: "Don't inquire if you shouldn't ask, we are just acting on orders, and the girl should stay inside, otherwise don't blame our brothers for being polite." ”

There are only her and the Queen Mother in the house, and the grandmother who served together not long ago has gone out, it is not difficult to guess that this matter is ready to imprison herself, Zhenzhen is a little frightened, but her face is still calm: "I don't know what Zhenzhen has done, I can't even get out of the door, if you wait for the Queen Mother to wake up, you can do it?" ”

The guard sneered: "You better worry about yourself first, whether you have done something and have shown your feet and don't know yourself." ”

The composure on Zhenzhen's face was gone, she wasn't worried that something would be found in the beef, nor was she worried that Bai Ying would be seen to be poisoned, the only thing she was worried about was the palace maid who was serving her.

If she can't stand it and explodes herself, then she really has no skills to recover, and what's even more terrifying is that she can't get out now.

Even if Zhenzhen can come out at this moment, it is too late, while a team of guards is guarding the dormitory of the Queen Mother of Jiuluan Palace, another team of guards has already arrested all the palace maids who serve Zhenzhen.

It was not sent directly to Dali Temple, but the prison in the palace can only be said to be comparable to Dali Temple, and the palace maids and eunuchs were interrogated by the father-in-law in charge in turn, and it was the chief manager next to Pei Yuan who was watching while drinking tea with a tea cup.

He scraped the lid of the tea, smiled gloomily at the palace maids and eunuchs, and said kindly in an instant: "We are all slaves, and our family doesn't want to embarrass you, as long as you obediently admit your mistakes, our family may ask the emperor for personal favors and give you a good time." ”

It's impossible to live, but there are all kinds of ways to die, and these palace people who have been in the palace for a long time naturally know how powerful it is, but the key is that they don't know anything about poisoning!

The voice of begging for mercy and the voice of self-confession of innocence were mixed, and the chief manager just leisurely drank the fragrant tea in his hand, and after a while, he put down the tea cup in his hand with a snap, and said coldly: "Give you an hour to reflex, as soon as the hour passes, our family will be impatient, and then we will have to torture you." ”

The little palace maid who was waiting close to Zhenzhen was trembling, and when she was thrown into the prison by the jailer, she thought that she had been thrown into the fire pit, she suddenly screamed, so that the chief manager who walked out of the distance turned his head, and the scream disappeared again, and the chief manager instructed the little eunuch beside him: "Go and see who is shouting and screaming, and keep an eye on our family." ”

As soon as the little eunuch who was ordered to come back to the prison came back, he inquired which one was screaming just now, and he squatted outside the prison and listened to the palace maid inside talking nonsense like crazy.

After listening for an hour, he felt that his ears were a little calloused, and finally the chief manager came back, and hurriedly jumped up and ran over and replied: "Lord Steward, the one that is locked up over there is the one you wanted to watch earlier, and there is something wrong with what you said. ”

The chief manager raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?" ”

"What's more, it's less, and so on, and says that it doesn't involve her or something, saying that no one knows about it, and it's not far from ten." The little eunuch recalled.

The chief manager nodded: "Bring it up, if it's really him, you will be rewarded when you come back." ”

The little eunuch took the jailer to pick up people, and the little palace maid knew that the murder was auspicious as soon as she saw the two of them coming in, rather than being tortured and not ending well, it was better to understand her life now, when she thought about it like this, she bit it down with all her might.

The jailer saw that this was okay, and there were countless people who committed suicide by biting their tongues in this prison, but this palace maid could not die, and the chief administrator could personally watch the interrogation case, I am afraid that only the two in the palace would be provoked.

If the palace maid who committed such a case died here, he would not have to be the cell head in the future, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the jailer stretched out his finger and stuffed it into the little palace maid's mouth, and a heart-piercing pain came instantly, and as soon as he withdrew his hand, he saw two rows of bloody imprints on his fingers.

The jailer was ruthless in his heart, and slapped him with his other intact hand, which made the little palace maid's eyes glow, and her ears buzzed, and she couldn't react for a long time.

The chief manager looked at the handprints on the little palace maid's face and the fingers of the jailer who were still dripping blood, waved his hand and motioned for the jailer to go down first, and then personally interrogated the bold slave in front of him.

"You said that our family will torture you, your body is estimated to be mixed up if you can't withstand two blows, and you will have to use salt water to wake you up at that time, which is really troublesome." The chief manager said word by word.

The little palace maid's body trembled, and she crawled on the ground and cried: "The slaves and maids are all forced, and the slaves and maids serve the chaste girl closely, if you don't listen to her, beating and scolding is a trivial matter, and she will ...... will kill the slave's family, and the slave and maid listened to her and poisoned the beef she ate, but she didn't know what she was going to do with the poisonous beef. ”

The chief manager nodded with satisfaction, and motioned to the little eunuch next to him to prepare a confession to sign for her, and the matter was resolved very smoothly, he half-squinted and took a cup of tea from the palace people, and took a sip in a comfortable mood.

But just after he sighed comfortably, the little palace maid who signed the painting jumped out and died on the pillar in the prison.

The little eunuch looked at the blood red in the place and asked, "My lord, how is this good?" ”

The chief manager raised the confession in his hand and stood up: "Find a place to bury it, anyway, the left and right are dead, and the back of the province is guilty." ”

It was already the middle of the night, and the chief steward looked at the light source in the emperor's bedroom, and after thinking about it, he still stuffed the confession into his arms.

Shen Jiahe shrunk in the quilt in the house, and after a while, he suddenly remembered that he saw Bai Ying in a cold sweat from time to time during the day, so he called the palace maid who had been serving for the past two days and ordered: "Go and prepare more charcoal and hot water in Bai Ying's room, if there is any movement, don't worry about disturbing the palace, you must report it in time." ”

After the next morning, the chief administrator put the confession on Pei Yuan's imperial case: "According to the confession of this little palace maid, the behind-the-scenes commander is indeed Zhenzhen, do you think the emperor should take people down for interrogation now?" ”

Seeing that the other party nodded, the chief manager directly took people to Jiuluan Palace, leaving Pei Yuan in the imperial study puzzled, why did Zhenzhen have Gu poison, or was it the same as the Gu poison that killed the four princes? It's not some rotten street poison.

The chief steward took Zhenzhen to the prison before a cup of tea, Pei Yuan appeared in the interrogation room of the prison, the chief steward hurriedly took people to the next door, and ordered people to bring tea, and wiped the chairs clean repeatedly, "This place is dirty, and the emperor is still waiting for news outside." ”

Pei Yuan leaned over the chair and said in a deep voice: "I have a lot of things I don't understand, the chief manager is only responsible for interrogation, and I just listen here." ”

The chief manager had to go out and throw the confession of the little palace maid in front of Zhenzhen: "Look for yourself, if you know each other, you should confess your guilt quickly, otherwise our family will not be polite." ”

His mouth was tight, and in the face of the little palace maid's confession, he could keep saying that he was wronged, and the chief manager had to torture her directly.

In the end, he couldn't stand the pain of punishment, Zhenzhen still told the truth and told it, Pei Yuan listened to the green muscles in the back, if Bai Ying hadn't taken the first step that day, it would be Shen Jiahe who was suffering now, even if he could go to southern Xinjiang to get the antidote, but Shen Jiahe was pregnant after all, it was difficult to say whether there would be any accidents.

Pei Yuan came out of the back compartment and looked at Zhenzhen coldly: "Cutting you off directly may be cheaper for you." ”

Zhenzhen looked at Pei Yuan, the hope in her eyes gradually disappeared, and finally sneered: "I don't want to either, this is all forced by you, but if you treat me better, if you can accept me early on, why would I embark on such a road." ”

Pei Yuan didn't have the heart to listen to her defend herself, he was thinking about how to make Zhenzhen's death more painful, and when Zhenzhen mentioned the Queen Mother, he suddenly laughed: "The Queen Mother likes you so much, she must be reluctant to leave you until she dies, in this case, I will give you the Queen Mother to go and bury her after a hundred years." ”

"No, you can't do this to me, you can't do this to me!" Zhenzhen shrank back in horror, but the chief manager quickly pulled her back with his foot hooked on the anklet.

Pei Yuan turned around and strode out of the cell, leaving only one sentence from afar: "You should feel honored to bury the Queen Mother, someone will throw her back and continue to take care of the Queen Mother." ”

Zhenzhen was thrown back again, there were palace people sent by the chief manager to stare at her, she didn't dare to seek death, the queen mother didn't know when she would die, and she might have a chance to escape before that! It's just that the surrounding palace people are too annoying, and they all look at her with a strange look, as if she is some kind of monster.

After learning the truth, Shen Jiahe did not breathe a sigh of relief, the antidote did not arrive for a day, and she couldn't rest assured that Bai Ying could not be relieved for a day, so she couldn't help but go to Bai Ying's house with her stomach up.

Seeing that the palace people were sending medicine, but Bai Ying was prevaricating in every possible way, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Good medicine is bitter, didn't you also persuade this palace in the past, why did you come here to play a child's temper." ”

After drinking it for a few days, Bai Ying felt that her mouth was always medicated, and the most important thing was that she felt that her body was not getting better at all, but was getting worse and worse.

But in order not to worry Shen Jiahe, Bai Ying didn't say anything, and immediately picked up the medicine bowl in his hand and pinched his nose and poured it in one go.
