Chapter 60: The Scapegoat
"Okay, if both of you have a reason, how can you explain the poisoning of the concubine? And the poison is on the skirt. There is definitely no way to touch this skirt, it is too easy to be exposed, so can anyone else who can prove your innocence? Zhao Xihe's face was gloomy.
It's not that Mama didn't see the emperor's face, and she thought it was a foolproof thing, but she didn't expect this Bu Saitama to have this situation, and now she can only find a scapegoat.
Glancing at the palace maid beside her, Mama knelt at Zhao Xihe's feet, "Your Majesty, the slave maid remembered that after Qingning sent her clothes, it was the palace maid Yan'er who helped take her in, and she must have poisoned her." ”
Zhong Guifei and Mama Rong glanced at each other, and knew that they wanted to find a scapegoat so that Qingning could get out. "Mama, such an important clue, why did you say it now, if you delay Sister Lu. I'm afraid no one can afford this. ”
Mama kowtowed, then wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "The slave maid is old and has encountered such a big thing for the first time, so I forgot about it, and I only remember it now." When Qingning brought the clothes over, Yan'er accompanied Niangniang to change clothes, thinking that it was at that time that she was poisoned. ”
Yan'er heard Mama say this. He was stunned in an instant, knelt on the ground, and began to kowtow to Zhao Xihe, "Your Majesty Mingjian, this is really not done by a slave, even if you give me one hundred and twenty guts, you will never dare to do such a thing." Your Majesty, I beg you to be aware of it, Your Majesty! ”
Mama gave Caiyu, a palace maid next to her, a look, and Caiyu knelt down, "Your Majesty, last month, Yan'er broke a Niangniang's favorite green jade flower bottle, because of this matter, Niangniang asked her to kneel outside for a day and a night, and I think that at that time, this cheap maid began to hate Niangniang." ”
"Caiyu, I treat you like a sister, how can you frame me like this, when did I break the flower bottle that my mother likes, why do you want to harm me." Yan'er couldn't believe what she heard, if she hadn't helped her wash her clothes last time, I'm afraid she would have been beaten to death.
Caiyu secretly glanced at Yan'er's mocking eyes, immediately retracted her gaze, and whispered: "I know you are good to me, but a mistake is a mistake, I can't cover you up." "Sister Yan'er, don't blame me, if I don't say this, I'm afraid I'll die today. A look of pain appeared on Caiyu's face, who lowered her head.
When Zhao Xihe saw this, he didn't have the intention to continue to pursue it, and after thinking about this situation a little, he knew that it was Lu Guifei who wanted to target Bu Qiyu, but he didn't succeed.
"Okay, you don't have to argue anymore, Xiao Luzi will take someone to search the place where the palace maid lives to see if it is her." The bland words seem to be mixed with ice slag, which makes people's hearts cold.
Zhong Guifei wanted to say something, but Mama Rong stopped her and didn't let her speak. Only Qing Ning's small sobs were heard in the huge palace, and no one spoke again.
Looking at Caiyu kneeling in the corner, Yan'er felt extremely painful, from the moment she entered this palace of inclination, she knew that Lu Guifei was not easy to serve, she had been serving carefully, until Lu Guifei intended to promote her to the palace maid, she gave up this opportunity because of Caiyu, but she also saved her life, and now this person wants her own life, it is really ridiculous.
Caiyu knows how good Yan'er is to herself, and she also knows how many sins Yan'er has taken for herself, which is why she became a big palace maid, and she is just a second-class palace maid. But she really can't help anything about today's affairs.
After a while, Xiao Luzi came over with the things he had searched. "Your Majesty, this was found in the room of the palace maid Yan'er, and this thing is placed in a cabinet at the bottom, which is very tight."
With a wave of his hand, he asked Xiao Luzi to deliver the things to the doctors, who poured out and sniffed them a little, and determined that this was the remaining poison. Beautiful
Yan'er was completely desperate, it seemed that they had already been prepared, otherwise how could they search for things in such a short time, but Caiyu would have to rely on herself in the future.
"Hahaha, yes, I did it, Concubine Lu, dignified and noble, hahaha, but it's all a lie, this is a poisonous woman, I wanted to kill her a long time ago." Just when Mama was afraid that Yan'er would say something, she finished speaking, and she crashed to death on the pillar.
"Xiao Luzi, the two of them carried out. Stand down, all of you. Rubbing his brows, there are too many things today, and so many people are arguing with headaches.
Concubine Zhong Guifei found that the emperor was tired, so she said thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, you still have to deal with state affairs tomorrow, go back and rest first." The murderer has also been found, and it is enough to have a concubine here. ”
patted Concubine Zhong's hand, "Remember to ask someone to bring me a word if you have something." Concubine Zhong nodded, and the emperor left with his own people.
opened her mouth, Mama still swallowed back what she was about to say, Originally, it was the best choice for His Majesty to accompany Niangniang at this time, but Concubine Zhong said this, and it was not easy for her to keep the emperor.
It's just that this Concubine Zhong stayed here, she was still not at ease, "Niangniang, it's late at night, why don't you go back and rest first, our Niangniang doesn't know when she will wake up, there are slaves and maids and imperial doctors here." ”
She didn't understand what Mama meant, anyway, there was no one else now, so she simply didn't pretend, "Then the palace will go back first, if you need anything, just find the palace, the White Deer Palace will not stop you tonight." Leave the words and help Mama Rong to leave.
"What do you think about tonight's events? The old slave felt that this matter was not simple. Mama Rong helped Concubine Zhong and said as she walked back.
Hearing his grandmother say this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You don't know who that person is, looking at the appearance of that girl today, she was obviously framed." It's just that today's incident was directed at Bu Qiyu, but he didn't think that Bu Saiyu would be allergic to Fengmu, so he temporarily pushed it on the palace maid. ”
Rong Mama nodded, "Niangniang means that the poison was caused by herself?" "Even if it's her own, you don't have to hate it so much, can't she get something else? It doesn't have to take so much effort.
I thought it was because I saw Mama Rong's question, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Zhong Guifei said a word, and then refused to speak again.
Everyone was scared tonight, only Bu Qiyu didn't mean to be scared at all, but she was very curious, why even such a noble person as His Majesty called the grandmother next to Lu Guifei Mama, and didn't have a surname, it was really strange.
Mama Fu knew about this from the outside as early as when Bu Saiyu was called away, and waited for a long time in fear, and finally waited for her back.
"Mama, why haven't you rested yet? Is this waiting for me? Seeing Mama Fu standing alone at the door, Bu Saiyu asked jokingly.
