Chapter Ninety-Eight: Not Dead
This is definitely an extraordinary interrogation, because the chief judge this time is none other than Xiao Moyuan, who didn't expect that he would be tried for the first time in his life, and he would be such a big man.
Su Jin knelt on the ground respectfully, his waist was straight, his eyes were clear, and when he looked closely, his pupils were wise and profound, although he was kneeling, he looked neither humble nor arrogant.
"Since you said that I killed the Queen Mother, do you have any evidence?"
Su Jin looked at Zhang Xinxin, who was kneeling beside him, and asked word by word.
Zhang Xinxin ignored Su Jin, but directly cast her gaze on Xiao Moyuan's body, her little face was a little pale, and she looked pitiful everywhere, presumably because she was frightened after hearing that Su Jin was released.
And since she can come up and confront her today, it means that they have arranged everything behind their backs.
"I certainly have proof."
Zhang Xinxin gritted her teeth and took out a small paper bag from her arms.
The eunuch beside Xiao Moyuan immediately cleverly ran over and took the paper bag, and then handed it to Xiao Moyuan with both hands.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the poison needle she used to poison the Queen Mother that day."
Zhang Xinxin immediately explained after watching Xiao Moyuan take the things.
This silver needle ............
Xiao Moyuan pinched the silver needle and turned it carefully, if he remembered correctly, Su Jin was indeed using this set of silver needles at that time.
At the moment when the small paper bag was opened, Su Jin also saw clearly what Xiao Moyuan was holding in his hand, and the needle was indeed one of the needles he used that day.
But if there is a problem with this needle, it is ridiculous, when you use it, whether it is poisonous or not, how can you not see it.
Su Jin sneered in his heart, I'm afraid that the imperial doctor who has this set of silver needles was either bought by them, or he encountered an accident, judging from the current form, it is more likely that the former is the former.
"You say I used this needle to assassinate the Queen Mother?" Su Jin glanced at Zhang Xinxin lightly.
"That's right, that's the silver needle you use." Zhang Xinxin was not to be outdone, glaring at Su Jin.
"Then you can tell me what kind of framing method I am, the causes, the motives, the process, the benefits? Since you are sure that the murderer is me, you must know something, so you can tell me, what kind of framing method am I? β
In the face of Su Jin's successive questions, Zhang Xinxin was a little helpless, but in the end, she was still the daughter of the prime minister's family, she had seen the world since she was a child, she settled down, and tried to suppress her nervousness.
"Your diagnosis and treatment of the Queen Mother is just a cover for people's ears, in fact, when you put the needle, you have secretly smeared poison on the needle."
Zhang Xinxin's words in this passage are righteous words, and she insists that this is the truth of the matter.
Xiao Moyuan didn't speak, but quietly put down the silver needle in his hand, and looked at Zhang Xinxin, who couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry on his cold face.
Zhang Xinxin wanted to see something from those eyes, but the moment she met Xiao Moyuan's eyes, she felt a chill rise behind her, and she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, and a little sweat gradually oozed from her smooth and full forehead.
The eyes were deep and cold, as if they were ice caves that had been frozen for thousands of years, not only cold, but also bottomless.
At the same time, Su Jin also felt a very strong killing intent, she believed that it was definitely not her illusion, Xiao Moyuan wanted to kill Zhang Xinxin just now!
"You say, I poisoned the silver needle? You must know that since ancient times, silver needles have been used to test poison, and the needle will change color when it is poisoned, and it is not ridiculous to poison it with a needle? β
As if she knew that Su Jin would ask this, Zhang Xinxin sneered, "Silver needles do turn black when poisoned, but what you use is not ordinary poison, this poison is colorless, tasteless and invisible, even if you use a silver needle, you can't test it." β
Su Jin raised her eyebrows, and there was neither anxiety nor panic in her apricot eyes, in addition to a faint calm, there was also a faint disdain.
Contempt?
Yes, it's contempt.
Zhang Xinxin grinded her teeth secretly, and she wanted to see it herself, the ironclad evidence was like a mountain, how did she want to get out!
Su Jin felt that if his eyes could kill, then he might have been killed countless times by the person in front of him, and it was still that cruel Ling Chi execution.
"You also said that this poison is colorless and tasteless, and cannot be tested with a silver needle, so how did you find it?"
"Of course, I can't prove it, but someone can." Zhang Xinxin clapped her hands, and immediately a doctor walked out.
Seeing the appearance of this imperial doctor, Su Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and as expected, there was no one who should come.
The Imperial Physician was the one who took out this set of silver needles that day.
The imperial doctor looked at Su Jin's strong gaze, his shoulders trembled slightly, he didn't dare to look up at her gaze, nor did he dare to raise his head, for fear of meeting Xiao Moyuan's gaze.
"You mean, you can testify?"
Xiao Moyuan finally spoke, his tone was steady, and people couldn't hear a little anger, but I don't know if the tone was too steady, but it made people feel a chill.
The doctor buried his head lower, and his shoulders shook even more.
"Back to ...... Back to the emperor, the minister...... The minister can confirm that the needle is indeed poisonous........."
"Go on."
The Imperial Physician continued tremblingly, "This set of needles was handed down by my ancestors, so it ......... I cherish it very much, and when I went back that day, my wife accidentally wiped it for me......... I accidentally pricked my fingertips with a needle, and two days later, I fell unconscious, and now I ......... Now it's hanging with just one breath............"
The imperial doctor trembled and finished these words, and he didn't know whether he was too afraid or too worried about his wife, in short, it can be summed up in one word: trembling!
said that it was too late, and not long after the words of the imperial doctor here landed, a palace maid ran in in a panic.
"What kind of person, without His Majesty's order, dare to break through, drag it downβββ"
The palace maid was in a hurry, and she didn't know where she got the strength from, so she pushed away the guards and forced in.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother...... She...... She's dying........."
The palace maid's eyes were red, and at first glance, she knew that she was crying all the way over, and after saying this, she fell aside and fainted.
Xiao Moyuan's hand tightened suddenly, but it seemed to think of something, and then gradually relaxed.
Before he could say anything, Xiao Moxing immediately jumped out, as if he had been hit by a huge blow, his fingers trembled and pointed at Su Jin on the ground and scolded.
"Okay, you demon girl, the queen mother has no grievances with you, you dare to frame the queen mother, this king will definitely cut you with a thousand knives, chop it up and feed the dog!"
After speaking, he took out the saber pinned to his waist and stabbed at Su Jin.
"Whenβββ"
Xiao Moxing's wrist trembled, he withdrew his hand in pain, and the sword in his hand also fell to the ground, and what fell next to the sword seemed to be the silver needle in Xiao Moyuan's hand just now.
"What do you mean by this, this demon girl framed her mother, do you still want to protect her?"
Xiao Moxing's eyes widened angrily, staring at Xiao Moyuan, but he couldn't calm down in his heart.
Last time, he sent someone to intercept and kill him, even if he didn't die, he could be greatly injured, but I didn't expect him to recover so quickly!
Xiao Moxing's face showed a look of great pain and resentment, but when he saw the palace maid who fainted on the ground, he hooked the corners of his mouth happily in the depths of his heart.
From the moment the palace maid appeared, it was proved that her plan had succeeded, and if nothing else, the queen mother was now a dead person.
The queen mother is dead, and the imperial doctor is being coerced by his own family, and he does not dare to resist, and this palace maid is also his own person.
And the woman on the ground............
Heh, who asked her to toast and not eat and drink, even if Xiao Moyuan wanted to protect her this time, it would be impossible.
Since he can't kill Xiao Moyuan at once, then he will slowly torture him, first let him lose his love, then destroy him step by step, force his bottom line, and finally eat away at his country little by little, presumably at that time, his expression must be very interesting.
Xiao Moxing thought that when Xiao Moyuan was crawling at his feet, he would feel very happy.
He didn't notice the abnormality at all--Xiao Moyuan was able to sit like a mountain and stand still after hearing that the Queen Mother had suffered misfortune.
Now he just wants to force Xiao Moyuan to kill Su Jin, if he doesn't kill him, it will be a great rebellion, disloyalty, injustice, benevolence and filial piety!
"Xiao Moyuan, the queen mother was killed, do you still want to save this woman? It's really ruthless to the extreme! β
The dramatic changes in front of him had already made the people around them dumbfounded, and none of them dared to speak, for fear that if they said something wrong in one second, their heads would fall to the ground in the next second.
This is already a matter involving the emperor's family, and they can only pretend that they haven't heard anything, let alone propose it.
Su Jin looked at Xiao Moxing's actions, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at Xiao Moyuan, and both of them saw a few words in each other's eyes: It's time.
Xiao Moxing was still looking forward to seeing Xiao Moyuan collapse, but he heard a voice that he couldn't imagine anyway.
"Oh? Who said I was killed? β
After hearing the voice, Xiao Mo turned around violently, but saw the Queen Mother, who should have died, unexpectedly appeared in front of his eyes unscathed.
This, what the hell is going on!
He has obviously sent someone to assassinate the Queen Mother, and the appearance of the palace maid is proof that the Queen Mother was killed, but the situation in front of him, this, how is this possible!
Could it be............
Xiao Moxing looked at the Queen Mother who walked slowly, her head "buzzed", and she instantly understood, it was obvious that Xiao Moyuan had already known that he had been put on the spot by him again.
"Mother, mother, are you okay?"
Xiao Moxing's eyes were red, looking at the old woman who was getting closer and closer to him, her eyes were red enough to drip blood, if she could, she really wanted to kill this old thing now.
People who don't know may think that he is excited, but Su Jin understands that he is angry.
Su Jin smacked his lips, don't say it, this Xiao Moxing is also quite pitiful, he has been busy for a long time, and he has acted in a big play, and finally found that it was all an illusion, tsk.
"Of course I'm fine, what, is something supposed to happen to me, or am I dead now?"
When she said the second half of the sentence, the Queen Mother's tone suddenly changed, and the atmosphere changed from the saber rattling just now, to condensation and slaughter in an instant.
