Chapter 112: Identification
When Zhou Meng was still complacent, Qi Heng on the side suddenly waved his hand to let everyone leave, and he turned (shēn) to Zhou Meng and said in an aggravated tone: "This prince doesn't care what you want to do, but before this prince gets Zhou Huan, you can't hurt her." ”
Listening to the sworn words of the man in front of him, Zhou Meng's heart suddenly felt a spontaneous desolation.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get everything she wanted.
"The eldest prince laughed, although I borrowed the reputation of the eldest sister to get close to the eldest prince, but it was also because the eldest sister herself was unwilling to come, but asked me to come over to replace her."
Zhou Mengyixi's words were very aggrieved, she just wanted to tell Qi Heng that she had come to this point, and it was Zhou Huan who was watching her.
And she also had to tell Qi Heng that Zhou Huan had never taken a fancy to him from beginning to end.
When it came to this step, Zhou Meng didn't have time to add anything, but Qi Heng grabbed her chin, and then threw Zhou Meng aside.
"Put away your disgusting thoughts, the matter of this prince and Zhou Huan (qíng) is not allowed to be questioned by anyone."
What Qi Heng hates most in his life is that others point fingers at him, isn't the emperor's guidance in the court enough? After going to court, those confidants and ministers repeatedly dissuaded him, and he never did one thing (qíng) according to his heart!
……
On the other hand, the banquet was noisy.
Concubine Wen was just drinking the wine brought by the maid and the food on the table, but who knew that Concubine Wen suddenly fainted. Moreover, the original (jiāo) soft beauty spat out black blood in her mouth.
For a moment, the entire banquet looked up in panic.
The queen has been in a high position for a long time, but she is also a clean and neat person. So it was quickly arranged, and the palace people went about their own things to do (qíng).
Soon, the imperial doctor was invited, and after taking his pulse for a long time, he could only diagnose that Concubine Wen had been poisoned, but the specific solution still needed time to figure out.
"But Concubine Wen is like this...... the queen was worried, but the imperial doctor looked clueless, so she had no choice.
"Queen Mother, maybe the courtiers can give it a try."
Zhou Huan calmly looked at Concubine Wen who was lying behind the screen not far away, and then spoke to the queen.
"You?" The empress also looked at Zhou Huan's (shēn) suspiciously, and then was thinking about it. Outside, however, a eunuch hurried in and whispered a few words in the queen's ear.
Suddenly, the queen looked at Zhou Huan with a little more alienation and indifference in her eyes.
"Zhou Huan, maybe before you diagnose Concubine Wen, you need to give me an explanation first."
It turned out that as soon as Fang Cai had an accident, the queen let her (shēn) grandmother go and arrest all the eunuchs and palace maids who had just handled Wen Guifei's food, and peeled off the cocoon. Sure enough, it lived up to expectations, and soon someone confessed.
That little palace maid is a messenger of food, and the person in charge today is Concubine Wen, and she claims that she poisoned the concubine, but someone is behind it.
Within a moment, the queen had already appeared in the courtyard outside at the same time as Zhou Huan. This is a resting place (diàn), so they sent Concubine Wen here nearby. As for those official ladies, they have all been controlled.
"Tell me, who is the master of you?" Qi Yu took the lead and couldn't hold his breath, took Zhou Huan's hand, and protected her behind his own (shēn).
Although the queen felt that Qi Yu's approach was a little inappropriate, she also knew her son's temper, and Suo (xìng) went to Qi Yu.
The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground raised her head and looked at the people in front of her, and then suddenly lowered her head and didn't know what to say, and the whole person was shaking there.
"What's wrong?" The queen looked at the girl with displeasure, but the girl's face was pale.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and pointed her hand at the location of the queen and Zhou Huan. "It's you."
In an instant, everyone was amazed.
No one would have thought that the person designated by the palace maid was actually the queen's mother. For a moment, everyone present was stunned. However, there are exceptions, hearing that the palace maid identified Zhou Huan who was not herself, Qi Yu was really the happiest when she smiled.
"I'll just say it, no one dares to frame you."
Zhou Huan touched Qi Yu's head, and then nodded gently. Later, I realized that this was in public, and my behavior seemed to be a little bad for a prince.
After realizing this, Zhou Huan lowered his head in embarrassment, but Qi Yu next to (shēn) looked at Zhou Huan dotingly, the smile on the corner of his lips was very flamboyant, and he didn't care that the person identified by the palace maid was his queen mother.
At this point, Qi Yu still believes in his mother. He knew that the queen would definitely investigate clearly.
Sure enough, after hearing that the palace maid identified herself, the queen was not in a hurry, she hooked her lips and smiled, and then instructed the female official after herself (shēn) to find out.
After that, the people sat quietly and waited for the results. During this period, because it was not Zhou Huan who was identified, Zhou Huan had the opportunity to detoxify Concubine Wen.
The person who passed with Zhou Huan was Luo Wanyan, and in the room, Luo Wanyan looked at Zhou Huan beside her (shēn) in confusion.
"Sister Huan, I didn't expect you to be proficient in medical skills." Luo Wanyan looked at Zhou Huan in surprise.
Zhou Huan nodded, "My adoptive father's medical skills are good, so I learned a little from him." ”
Luo Wanyan was not interested, "I'm different, I'm not interested in Daddy's things at all." However, most of the imperial doctors have gone out of the palace with the emperor today, and the rest of the people are all with the concubine Niangniang, so it is our turn? ”
Zhou Huan listened to Luo Wanyan's words, and the doubts in his heart were explained.
No wonder the queen would agree to give herself a try. It seems that in addition to the queen wanting to test her own mind, she has some other ideas.
"Alright, let's go check it out."
Zhou Huan carefully sniffed what the concubine had eaten, and then took out a bottle he had brought with him (shēn) and dripped a few drops of the potion, and then soon the soft cake turned blue.
"This ......"
"So amazing??"
Luo Wanyan's exclamation made Zhou Huan really believe that this girl might really not know any medical skills. I really don't know what I just brought her in for.
Zhou Huan originally thought that Luo Wanyan's father was sentenced by the court, and maybe he could help him later. When Zhou Huan followed her adoptive father to learn medical skills, she was not interested in anyone else, but she learned a little about poison.
However, the poison she encountered before was too peculiar, so she kept bothering her adoptive father, but after her adoptive father died, Zhou Huan spent more time on it.
"Okay, sit down, I'll come." Zhou Huan shook his head helplessly, and then hurriedly took out the silver needle and sealed the needle for Wen Guifei's corresponding (xué).
Then, Zhou Huan took out another bottle he was carrying and fed Wen Guifei a black pill, and then left with confidence.
After closing the door, the queen was there interrogating the girl. "You said you were a palace maid in the palace, but I just went to check your news and didn't seem to know you."
The person kneeling there suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he stammered before he even had time to say a word.
"Slave maid, slave maid has just arrived."
Qi Yu laughed, "You are talking nonsense, the last time the palace let the palace maid enter the palace was a year ago." ”
Although he is stupid, he still has a clear distinction between right and wrong.
Sure enough, Zhou Huan thought about it, walked to the palace maid's (shēn) and said, "Do you know who is sitting there?" ”
The palace maid said confidently: "Isn't she the eldest lady of the Zhou family, but she looks a little old." ”
As soon as these words came out, the queen's face suddenly turned cold, and then she waved her hand at the grandmother next to her (shēn) and dragged the girl down.
"I didn't expect that someone would dare to cause trouble in the palace at the winter solstice banquet, I think you still have to leave an explanation."
The queen returned to the banquet and questioned the people below. But there was silence in the crowd, but no one dared to say anything.
Wang Xue looked up at Zhou Ru and Zhou Meng next to her (shēn), lowered her voice and said, "This is the good show you let me watch." ”
Zhou Ru's face turned pale and he didn't speak, while Zhou Meng also lowered his head and completely ignored Wang Xue next to him.
Her painstaking arrangement was so easily resolved by Zhou Huan, although she was very unhappy in her heart, but she was excited when she thought of her temporary treatment.
Anyway, with her own ability to get rid of a person, this bloodthirsty feeling is really exciting.
Looking at the silent crowd below, the queen frowned, and at this time, the grandmother who had just left happened to come back.
"Queen Qiyu, the assassin from outside the palace confessed, she said that she was ordered by Miss Wang Xue."
Miss Wang Xue!
There were a few Wang Xue present, and when Zhou Huan heard this identification, she was also shocked, and then she thought of the situation outside the mansion this morning, and she probably understood a little bit in her heart.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Xueteng, who was not far away, stood up from his position all of a sudden, and then looked at the grandmother in front of him angrily.
Mama immediately lowered her head and did not speak again.
It was the queen mother, who suddenly threw a turquoise jade pendant into the audience and landed steadily in front of Wang Xue.
"This is a token of your Wang family, except for the clan relatives, it is impossible for others to have it, why did it become a token of that girl's doing."
Because she couldn't bear the punishment, the girl confessed that this jade pendant was a guarantee given to her by the person who arranged her. If she says yes, after the matter (qíng) is over, she will definitely have a good place to go.
