Chapter 521: Framed
Soon, this matter was known to the emperor, and he ordered the imperial garden to be sealed off, and these noblewomen were arranged in Yikun Palace.
"Queen, what are we going to do now?"
Taking advantage of people's inattention, Concubine Luo went to find the queen, she originally wanted to poison Jiang Li, but now she killed Princess Anping, which made her very afraid.
What's more, now that Jiang Li is not dead, she naturally doesn't want to let herself die, and after the queen listened to her words, there was gradually a little resentment in her eyes.
Now that Princess Anping is dead, it is useless for her to be sad, and the best way now is to put things on Jiang Li's body, so as to live up to Princess Anping's death.
But even if the queen knew what to do, she wouldn't tell the truth, so she mentioned two sentences of Luo Concubine, and then said.
"Concubine Luo, you are a smart person, how to do it must not be ordered by this palace, you can act when you have the opportunity."
Luo Concubine gritted her teeth when she heard the words and retreated, now that she has boarded the queen's thief ship, if she doesn't save herself, presumably the queen will push her out and let her die without a place to be buried.
Thinking that Luo Concubine's movements were a little faster, she ordered someone to treat the palace maid who served Jiang Li over.
"Let me ask you, why did Princess Anping die?"
Looking at Luo Concubine's poisonous eyes, the little palace maid knelt on the ground with a "poof", and she begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Niangniang, the slave doesn't know anything, the slave begs you to spare the slave."
"No, you know, otherwise your relatives will lose their lives because you don't know."
This sentence is a clear threat, and the palace maid is not stupid, so she naturally knows that Concubine Luo is forcing her to confess.
She hesitated for a while and then chose to compromise, compared to the lives of her relatives, her life was nothing.
"The slave knows, the slave knows everything."
"What do you know?"
Seeing that this palace maid had thought clearly, Concubine Luo was not in a hurry but continued to ask.
"The slave maid saw with her own eyes that Mrs. Jiang had drugged Princess Anping."
"You have to remember this sentence clearly, don't make a mistake in front of the emperor later."
After saying that, Luo Concubine walked out, and the palace maid couldn't help but sit on the ground when she saw her leaving, she just hoped that Luo Concubine would not embarrass her family if she spoke.
After the people from the criminal department came, the emperor began to try the case, and soon it was the turn of the palace maid.
"I ask you, do you know how Princess Anping died?"
Listening to the emperor's question, the palace maid subconsciously glanced at the queen and Luo Concubine, and then quickly lowered her head to beg for mercy, but she did not hide this action from Lin Zimo who was on the side.
"It's none of the slave's business, the slave doesn't know anything."
The palace maid's words were almost a sign that she knew something, and the emperor hurriedly asked, and the palace maid pointed in Jiang Li's direction tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, it was Mrs. Jiang who gave Princess Anping the medicine, and the slave maid was just a serving palace maid, and the slave maid didn't know anything."
Hearing this, Jiang Li hurriedly knelt down and shouted for himself.
"Your Majesty, why did the courtiers want to harm Princess Anping?"
When the emperor heard this, he looked at the palace maid again, and the palace maid thought for a while before hurriedly speaking.
"You must have a grudge against Princess Anping and insult you as the daughter of a bandit."
The palace maid's words were naturally confirmed by many people, although the emperor believed that Jiang Li would not kill Princess Anping at this time, but in front of the criminal department, he could only detain Jiang Li and the maid who testified.
"Your Majesty, the minister can prove Jiang Li's innocence."
Just when the emperor was hesitating how to prove Jiang Li's innocence, Lin Zimo suddenly found her, and the two whispered for a while, and the emperor agreed to Lin Zimo's request.
After being taken to the prison, the court maid who testified was put in a dark cell, and when she was in the dark, she began to scream.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she could only curl up in the corner, and she held her feet and curled herself up.
For some reason, she always felt that there was a wind in the room, and the folklore she had heard from her father as a child came back to her mind.
Just when her spirit was at a high level, a familiar voice came.
"Why did you kill me?"
This palace maid has never been in contact with Princess Anping a few times on weekdays, and this voice is already eight-pointed, so she preconceived that this voice is Princess Anping.
"I didn't harm you, don't seek revenge from me."
The palace maid who said the testimony began to cry, and she held her head and felt that the house was full of the ghosts of Princess Anping.
For a moment, no other voice came, and just as she relaxed her vigilance, Princess Anping's voice came again.
"You didn't hurt me, but you drugged my food, and I'm going to arrest you and go to hell to fry in the oil pan."
Hearing this, the palace maid's heart suddenly appeared in the scene of the frying pan described by her father, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Princess, you know, it wasn't me who drugged you, it's obvious that the queen and Luo Concubine want to kill Mrs. Jiang, and you yourself have to change her food, no wonder me."
As she spoke, the palace maid's whimpering became louder and louder, and at this moment, the cell in front of her suddenly shone brightly.
It turned out that this prison was covered by the cloth erected around it by Lin Zimo instructing people, and as for the voice just now, he naturally found someone to dress up.
At this time, the cloth was lifted, and all the figures outside were revealed.
"Your Majesty, have you heard the words of this palace maid clearly?"
Lin Zimo bowed slightly and said to the emperor, and the queen and Luo Concubine were already pale at this time, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and prayed.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know about this matter, and I hope the emperor will investigate it clearly."
"Whether you know it or not, I'll know in a moment."
Saying that, the emperor kicked the queen and Luo Concubine aside, and at this time, the servant of the criminal department who went to search Luo Concubine and the queen's palace also took the white medicine bag.
"Your Majesty, this is evidence, and the minister also found a few witnesses."
Seeing the imperial doctor behind the waiter of the criminal department, the queen collapsed on the ground weakly, she knew that everything was over.
Combined with the testimony of the imperial physician and the white medicine bag, the fact that Concubine Luo and the queen poisoned Jiang Li but accidentally killed Princess Anping was already a sure act.
"Queen, what else do you have to say?"
As he spoke, the emperor looked at the queen, and when he saw the pale face on her face, the disgust in the emperor's heart deepened.
"Spread my will, Luo Concubine deliberately poisoned and executed on the same day, the queen misbehaved and behaved badly, abolished her position as queen, and entered the cold palace from now on."
After the emperor finished speaking, he walked straight out of the cell, and the criminal department recorded the matter, as for the queen and Luo Concubine, naturally no one would care about them at this time.
