Chapter 106: Back to the pot
"Who has the audacity to dare to poison the emperor, you must check it carefully."
Qin Changhuan finished all the possible words in a loud voice, and Yan Heng couldn't find anything to say for a while.
After he paused, he also felt that he was too angry to be out of shape, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not the lotus seed soup you ordered someone to send, it's poisonous in it!" ”
"What?"
The smile on Qin Changhuan's face was a little less, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a lotus seed soup made by a courtier, but a sister Helan who made it." ”
"The courtiers are looking at Sister Helan's thoughts, and it's a pity not to give it to the emperor, so the courtiers ordered someone to send it over, there is really no other meaning, and the emperor is asked to investigate."
Qin Changhuan was firm in every sentence, and every word was sonorous.
"Helan Qingyi did it?" Yan Henghu asked suspiciously.
"Yes." Qin Changhuan responded without hesitation, and then said, "But this was not directly given to the courtier by Sister Helan, but sent by a servant." ”
"But the courtiers can be sure that the courtiers have seen this handmaid by Sister Helan's side before, and it should be Sister Helan's personal handmaid."
In this situation, as long as Yan Heng doesn't believe it at all, she can immediately convict Qin Changhuan of guilt, but she is not afraid at all, as if she is sure that he will believe it.
Such a thing can be known with a little checking.
This kind of thing must be Qin Changhuan doesn't need to deceive people, Yan Heng knows in her heart that this matter is afraid that it will not be far from ten, otherwise she would not be so sure.
He pondered for a while and said, "Call that maid and Helan Qingyi over." ”
Soon both were summoned.
Helan Qingyi glanced at everyone present, and immediately saluted very calmly: "See the emperor." ”
"I ask you, did you give this bowl of lotus seed soup to Chongyuejiu?"
Yan Heng asked bluntly.
Helan Qingyi glanced at this bowl of lotus seed soup, and then looked at it carefully, and then denied it: "Back to the emperor, although this bowl is very similar to that made by courtiers, it is not made by courtiers." ”
"The courtiers are using a carved bowl today, but this bowl does not have any patterns, so it can be seen that this is not a lotus seed soup made by the courtiers."
"Is that so?"
Yan Heng groaned for a while and did not speak.
And Qin Changhuan, who was standing on the side, moved his eyes slightly, and he was a little clear, it seems that the current situation is that Helan Qingyi has already made preparations, even if the matter is revealed, I am afraid that he will want to put all the blame on the servant girl in front of him.
But it doesn't matter, since Helan Qingyi wants to shirk her responsibility, she naturally has a way to prove that she did it.
Sure enough, Helan Qingyi took a closer look at the situation on the field, rolled her eyes slightly, and then asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, has something happened?" ”
"This lotus seed soup is poisonous, and according to Chongyuejiu, this bowl of lotus seed soup was given to her by your maidservant."
"Your Majesty." Helan Qingyi's face calmed down suddenly, and she said with a straight face: "Although it is true that she is my personal maidservant, this bowl of lotus seed soup is not made by the courtiers. ”
"Maybe it's this servant girl who is making her own decisions and wants to blame the courtier?"
"You're just talking nonsense." The eunuch on the side couldn't help but speak, "How can there be such a reason?" Slaves and maids blame their masters? ”
Yan Heng obviously didn't believe it.
Helan Qingyi looked at his face, and knelt down suddenly. She looked aggrieved and said: "The emperor doesn't know, a few days ago, because I had some disputes with Miss Chongyue, I punished this slave maid, but who knows, she actually did such a vicious thing!" ”
According to Helan Qingyi, it was this servant girl who had always held a grudge, so she came up with such a plan, which happened to kill two birds with one stone, if she could succeed, even Qin Changhuan would be poisoned.
"Then why did you give me lotus seed soup today?"
Qin Changhuan, who had not made a sound, asked softly at this moment.
"Miss Chongyue." Helan Qingyi turned her face, her expression was extremely sincere, "You don't know, the last time I had a quarrel with you, I never wanted to go, so I made a bowl of lotus seed soup and wanted to give it to you, but who knew that it was used by someone with a heart......"
As she spoke, tears oozed from her eyes.
I have to say that Helan Qingyi is indeed very good at changing the topic, as long as it is the goal she wants to achieve, she can be mapped to that side no matter what.
The servant girl had already knelt on the ground, and her whole body was almost lying on the ground, but she didn't dare to move at all, and the whole person seemed to be extremely frightened, and she was trembling all the time.
And Helan Qingyi was sobbing quietly on the side, seemingly extremely aggrieved, and never stopped.
For a moment, the situation seemed to be clear.
Yan Heng didn't make a decision immediately, I don't know if he believed it or not, but he looked at the servant girl again and asked, "Is it really as she said?" ”
"Go back, go back to the emperor." The maid was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble, and when she raised her face, there was also a look of fear on her face, "Yes, yes." ”
In a word, she had to stutter at least once.
It was really normal for the maid to have such a reaction when she saw the emperor of the current dynasty for the first time, but Qin Changhuan looked at it from the side and saw the despair in her eyes.
Why despair? There is no other reason than to take the blame for others.
Qin Changhuan pondered for a few moments and said to Yan Heng: "I wonder if the emperor can ask his courtiers a few questions to her?" ”
Yan Heng nodded in agreement.
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Changhuan nodded, came to the servant girl, looked down at her, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, raise your head, just ask you a few questions." ”
The maidservant raised her head according to her words, and as soon as she raised her head, she hurriedly said, "I did it, I did everything!" It's none of our young lady's business, I've done it! ”
She was loud, as if she was afraid that others would not know about this fact.
Qin Changhuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "No one said that you didn't do this, it's just that I want to ask you some questions, I didn't ask, so don't answer." ”
"Yes."
The temperament and determination exuded by her made people have to surrender, and even this servant girl didn't dare to say anything too much.
Qin Changhuan subconsciously dragged the hair next to his cheek, and the jet-black hair went around his fingers again and again, and then said, "You said that this bowl of lotus seed soup was deliberately sent by you, but why did you change a bowl on the way?" ”
"This ...... The slave was scared, and the first time she did such a thing, she accidentally broke the bowl on the way. ”
The handmaiden's voice was small, and for good reason.
But Qin Changhuan didn't intend to believe it so easily, she continued to ask, "But why did you change to such a completely different bowl?" You have to know what is carved and what is not, you can see it at a glance. ”
"The slave maid thought that the young lady didn't remember it so clearly."
The servant girl replied, but it was already a little hesitant and unbelievable, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but she still did not intend to change her words.
Qin Changhuan's clear eyes stared at her like this, and he said after a while: "You tell me the whole process of your crime, if it is really what you did, you should remember it very clearly." ”
"You have to be completely aware of the time and place before and after this event."
As soon as she made this request, Helan Qingyi on the side stood up as if she couldn't stand it anymore, "Miss Chongyue, although she did something wrong, she is also my maidservant." ”
"She also said just now, the first time to do such a thing, it is inevitable that she will be very nervous, how can she really remember the time clearly?"
"The emperor didn't let the courtiers stop."
Qin Changhuan just said lightly, and in one sentence, he blocked all the words of Helan Qingyi.
Helan Qingyi's face changed, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Yan Heng who was standing aside.
Yan Heng's face was calm, but she really didn't say anything about this, and she really didn't ask her to stop asking, she was not qualified to stop it.
"Okay, you can say it."
Qin Changhuan turned his head to look at the servant girl again, as if he had to tell her the cause and effect, such stubbornness, such unforgiving.
There were some beads of sweat on the maid's forehead, and she shouted loudly regardless of it: "I said that I did it!" Why go through such a troublesome procedure, that's what I did! ”
She shouted as if she had risked her life.
The handmaiden is on the verge of irritability and impatience.
Qin Changhuan smiled slightly, immediately squatted down, looked at the servant girl at eye level, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you did it, naturally you can't run away, if you didn't do it, the emperor will also find out." ”
"It doesn't matter if you can't tell the cause and effect of this thing, there are so many people in this palace, there will always be people who see what you did, such as where you knocked it over, and when did you make a new bowl of lotus seed soup......"
Her voice was long, clearly suggesting something.
Such a hint made the servant girl ooze some sweat on her forehead. Her lips were pale, and her complexion was even worse than before.
Yan Heng on the side suddenly said at this time: "That's right, as long as you do it, you can find it in the palace." ”
Qin Changhuan and Yan Heng both mean the same.
In the future, I will investigate the cause and effect of this matter, but the premise is that this matter was really done by her, and the rest, if she didn't do it, then she would be guilty of defrauding the king.
This kind of culpability is not something that anyone can bear, if it is serious, it is the culpability of the nine clans.
The maidservant seemed to be making a difficult choice, and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything for a while, but her lips kept trembling.
Helan Qingyi saw that the situation was wrong, and just wanted to say something, but Qin Changhuan preempted the conversation: "If you have anything unspeakable, the emperor is here and will call the shots for you." ”
