Chapter 478: Evidence
"Back to the emperor, if you don't use strong medicine and control the dose, it's completely fine." The Imperial Physician explained, "As long as it is properly blended, or something that inhibits the effect of the medicine is added, and after these things are digested, the toxicity will be released, and the murderer's purpose can be achieved." ”
Although everyone didn't understand it very well, they probably understood what the imperial doctor meant, in short, the palace maid died unexpectedly.
So the question is, is this random, or is it targeted?
If it was random, what was the purpose of the murderer, was it simply to cause panic?
If it is targeted, what secrets does the palace maid have that are worthy of the murderer to do it to her?
Since it is a murderous killing, why not choose an obscure way to quietly get rid of the palace maid, and use such an extreme way in front of the public?
Is it really just the life of the palace maid, or is it aimed at the master behind her?
As soon as he thought of this, the old emperor's heart sank.
Ruyi was serving in the queen mother's bedroom, thinking of the queen mother's current situation, the old emperor had to think more.
The palace banquet, which originally made everyone fearful, is now even more panicked.
When it comes to the secrets of the palace, everyone can't wait to go directly into the ground, this kind of thing is not accessible to everyone.
But the old emperor didn't stop there, and let everyone go.
called the chamberlain, and the old emperor directly sent the order.
The investigation here has not stopped.
The old emperor called all the palace maids and eunuchs who served in the queen mother's bedroom.
These people have never seen such a shocking scene, no matter what they know or what they don't know, they can say what they can and can't say.
What makes people laugh and cry is that nothing has been found out about serious matters, but it has made everyone hear a lot of pickled things.
Everyone buried their heads, and they really didn't understand the old emperor's intentions.
This is also the old emperor's family matter, why are they involved?
Although I was apprehensive in my heart, I didn't get the permission of the old emperor, and everyone still had to spend it here.
The old emperor sat majestically on it, swept it casually, and finally landed on the man at the very end of the crowd.
Perhaps feeling the sharpness on his body, the man buried his head, trembled, and trembled indistinctly, but when he got to the back, he crawled directly on the ground.
This is coercion!
The old emperor's sharp gaze rose lightly.
Immediately, he came forward and set up the little eunuch.
"The emperor spares his life! The emperor spares his life! The little eunuch shouted.
The old emperor's fingers knocked on the chair at once, obviously they couldn't hear the sound, but everyone felt that they were knocking on their hearts, twitching and twitching, worrying about their nervousness.
Soon, there were people talking back and forth.
"Back to the emperor, it's already been recruited."
The old emperor gestured with a look.
The man continued to report and said: "The man said that he had seen Ruyi put something in the Queen Mother's meal, and then the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill, and the little eunuch said that things were not good, and wanted to report it to the emperor, but he was threatened by Ruyi, and even during the vigil, he was threatened by the man in black, so he knew that he did not report it." Seeing Ruyi's violent death today, the little eunuch was in danger and showed his feet. ”
When the Queen Mother was violently ill and the people in the Tai Hospital couldn't diagnose the cause, the old emperor knew that this was strange, but he really couldn't imagine who it would be that would be so bold to do something to the Queen Mother and threaten him with this!
His gaze swept over the two brothers.
The old emperor did not receive any anomalies about the two.
As for the sons......
Thinking of the letter that appeared in the imperial study inexplicably, the old emperor didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or hold his breath!
"Check! Check it out for me! In his anger, the old emperor's self-proclaimed name changed.
For a while, people were panicked, and the old emperor was determined to find out this time.
At the banquet, everyone couldn't leave, and the maid and lady who brought it couldn't go back to report the news, so they closed the palace gate directly, and everyone stayed in the palace!
Everyone looked at each other, which had never happened before.
Of course, what they are worried about is not this, it is the emperor's suspicion!
If they really want to have a ghost in their hearts, forget it, but this time they are really innocent to the extreme!
Fortunately, it didn't make people wait too long, and before midnight, news came.
According to the palace maid's trembling report, before the palace banquet, she saw Ruyi with the three princes!
"Joke, the harem is full of palace maids and eunuchs, and you can meet them by walking on the road at will, what does this mean?" Duanmu Qing was also angry, completely losing his former demeanor.
"Back to Your Highness, yes, it's nothing, but, it's ......"
"Say!" The old emperor's eyes were scarlet.
"Back to the emperor, the slave and the slave saw that the Third Highness gave Ruyi something. What is it, the slave maid didn't see it, the slave maid thought, thought it was given to Ruyi by His Royal Highness. ”
The palace maid said vaguely, but everyone had a faint guess in their hearts.
Teach and receive privately, everyone still understands.
Isn't the palace maid the plaything of the prince and the prince?
It's just that, if you're lucky, you can really soar into the sky.
Bad luck?
That's really no different from prostitutes and women.
All the eyes of the people quietly looked at Duanmu Qing.
The old emperor tapped the fingers of the chair, up and down, the rhythm remained the same, but the sound knocked on everyone's ears, with a chill.
"Father, Erchen did meet the palace maid on the way to the palace banquet, but Erchen didn't know that the palace maid was Ruyi!"
Everyone believes this a little.
There are so many palace maids, and there are many people who want to climb into the master's bed.
Playthings, who cares?
The old emperor stared at Duanmu Qing intently, as if waiting for him to continue.
And Duanmu Qing, who was eager to show his innocence, said without panting: "Father, Erchen doesn't know any Ruyi, but Erchen was stopped by a palace maid on the way here, saying that Erchen lost the jade pendant, Erchen took it and took a look, it was not Erchen's, and Erchen returned it to the palace maid." ”
Regarding Duanmuqing's statement, the old emperor scoffed.
Duanmuqing understands the temper of the old emperor, so when he sees the appearance of the old emperor, he knows that it is not good.
But how does he explain this kind of thing?
What he said was the truth, if it weren't for the current environment, no one would doubt him, but he died as he wished, and it was related to the Queen Mother's violent illness!
Duanmuqing, who was speechless, was so angry that there was smoke on his head, but he couldn't do anything.
"The Emperor, the Emperor's ......"
Another little palace maid knelt down tremblingly.
The old emperor sneered.
Why didn't he know that the palace maids in his palace had such ideas.
The little palace maid looked like she was out of the way.
"What do you want to say?" The old emperor was restless, and thinking about the contents of the letter, the old emperor gritted his teeth in anger.
That's amazing!
Several of his sons.
"Back to the emperor, the slave maid heard Ruyi say that she said that after a while, she would be able to leave the palace. The slave maid felt strange at that time, Ruyi had not yet reached the age of being released from the palace, and she had not received the grace of her master, so how could she leave the palace? Therefore, the slave asked her a few more words at that time. ”
Although the palace maid was afraid, she could barely stabilize her mind and express her meaning neatly.
"Your Majesty, Ruyi didn't say anything at that time, but yesterday, after Ruyi came back from outside, because of her pride, she had no intention of saying a word to the slave maid, what to say, as long as she completed today's affairs according to the nobleman's wishes, she could go out of the palace and get married. The slave also teased at the time, saying, why have I never heard her say that there are people outside? Moreover, the slave also asked Ruyi, what are you going to do today? Don't be confused, lose yourself. ”
"If you know something is going to happen today, why don't you report it?" It was Wei Ping who asked this.
"Back to my father-in-law, the slave maid thought that Ruyi was joking, and there was no conclusive evidence, and if the slave and maid said it, it would only be perceived as a fallacy to confuse the public."
That's true.
After all, there is no real evidence.
"Nonsense!" Duanmu Qing, who was eager to justify, where was he still elegant in the past, and he didn't scold directly, he was all well-cultivated.
"Father, now that Ruyi is dead, there is no proof, and the sons and daughters are speechless, only hoping that the father and the emperor will see everything and return the sons and daughters to be innocent!" Duanmuqing said that he endured humiliation.
But the old emperor didn't care.
The palace maid didn't say that the "nobleman" was him, why did he leave the relationship so anxiously?
"Back to the emperor, the person who searched Ruyi's residence has returned." Wei Ping's words made everyone lift their hearts again.
After knowing the name of the deceased and what she had done before, the old emperor asked people to search the place where Ruyi lived, and also asked people to go to the queen mother's bedroom to search.
And the results of this search undoubtedly pushed Duanmu Qing to the forefront again!
"Your Highness, you said before that the jade pendant that Ruyi gave you was not yours, this jade pendant, you should know it, right?"
How could Duanmu Qing not know each other?
This is a jade pendant that symbolizes his status, and it is a jade pendant that has been hanging on him since he was born.
"Your Highness shouldn't have said that this jade pendant is fake, right?" Wei Ping dragged the words of the long tail note, and Duanmu Qing took a few steps back.
The style of the jade pendant can be imitated, but the texture of the jade cannot be imitated.
On each prince, there is a jade pendant that symbolizes his identity as a prince, whether it is the eldest prince who no one cares about, or the fourth child who is unknown.
The four jade pendants are divided by the same piece of jade, the front is their respective zodiac signs, and the back is their table characters.
The jade is a unique blood jade, and there is no second piece in the entire dynasty!
"Your Majesty, this was searched from Ruyi's house, placed in the compartment in the Ruyi cabinet, and should have been carefully stored."
How can it be accidentally stored?
This can be regarded as Duanmuqing's promise to Ruyi, with this jade pendant, the position of the side concubine is not able to run.
"Your Highness, you are really willing to do it."
How can you be reluctant?
A jade pendant, a side concubine's position, in exchange for the throne of the old emperor, such a cost-effective deal, anyone will do it.
"No, no! You have framed Your Highness! "Duanmu cleared up futile arguments, denials, and could do nothing.
"Your Highness, is it possible, this jade pendant is really picked up as you wish?" Wei Ping's sarcastic words were the last straw that crushed Duanmuqing.
He glanced around with scarlet eyes and smiled coldly.
