Chapter 66: Wine

The word guilty is like an arrow shot by the Qin people, which shot Xiong Jing and staggered. He searched for the truth with the courage of not evading it, but the truth gave him the worst answer. He stood there silent until he heard the prayers of the monastery.

"Mingtang hasn't seen it." The temple people reported. The upper stairs is the Ming Hall, and the first to search is here.

"Qingyang has not seen it." Qingyang is a parish on the east side, and most of the children live there. There were no children in the Lanhua Palace, it was empty.

"Xuantang hasn't seen it." The hall is in the north, and there are some slaves and maids, but there are not many.

Mi Xuan entered the palace and lived in Lanhua Palace, if the poison really existed, it was most likely the big room of the general chapter in the west. But the search was still going on, and in order to prevent hiding, the maid was asked to take off her clothes and leave the room naked. The search continued, and from time to time the screams of the maids came from the general chapter. The order given to the temple was to search for poison, which was an inauspicious thing, hidden in the palace, and the action was inevitably rude.

Mi Xuan confessed her guilt, she didn't want others to suffer, so she was going to get up and go to the general chapter, she just wanted to get up and the general chapter came to the temple people's shout, "Prison food, have been wine." ”

Ancient poisons were very limited, and there were only a few kinds of poisons used for aconitum sinensis, ox poison, crane top red, blood sealing throat, and broken intestine grass.

Aconitum is violet, Li Ji framed her son Shen Sheng, so she put Sumire in the meat that Shen Sheng dedicated to his father Jin Xiangong; The plover is a kind of snake-eating eagle, because the poisonous snake is poisonous, so the whole body of the plover is also poisonous; Heding red is red letterstone, natural arsenic trioxide, and after processing, it is arsenic; Seeing that the blood seal throat and the broken intestine grass are plants, the former is poison arrow wood, the latter is also known as hook kiss, legend has it that Shennong's taste of a hundred herbs is to eat hook kiss, abdominal pain more than stop and die.

Food and drink in the palace have always been strictly prohibited, and there are special food supervisors to supervise the drug test. When the temple people find something suspicious, they must hand it over to the temple supervisor for identification to prove its authenticity. It is precisely because there is food supervision in the palace, and the poisoning is generally done with wine, and the meals are often eaten together, even if they are not eaten together, there are also food supervision tests for poison. Wine is different, everyone only drinks their own wine.

The temple people said that they found the wine, Xiong Jing finally sat down on the mat, and what Gongsun Yan's maidservant said was true. Qi Xuan's body was lower, and from the moment Xiong Jing asked, she knew that things were irreparable.

"Why no wine?" A heavy bronze wine jug was turned out from under a large pile of clothes, which was naturally the poison to be found. But when the overseer opened the jug, he found that the jug was empty.

"Wine?" Chang Jiang is concerned about whether the wine exists, and if it exists, then the queen is guilty.

"I don't know, or maybe it's wine." The temple people opened the wine jug and sniffed deeply, but the reason why the poison will fall in the wine is because the wine is colorless and tasteless, and it is difficult for people to detect. "Please give it a try."

"Stand down." Qi Xuan couldn't cry, Xiong Jing was tired of listening to it, and didn't want to try the poison again.

"King, someone poisoned the queen, this matter is not trivial." The man from the food temple was a little stupid, he still didn't understand what was going on. Maybe because he was too timid, he only dared to think that someone would kill the queen, but he didn't dare to think that the queen would kill the king.

"Stand down!" Xiong Jing's voice was weak before, but now his voice was angry. The temple people quickly retreated, leaving only Chang Jiang standing in the Ming Hall.

"Say it. Context? Xiong Jing looked at Mi Xuan, and his voice was weak again.

"The concubine is guilty, and the sin is unforgivable." Mi Xuan whimpered, things have come to this point, no matter how she pleads, she is guilty.

Xiong Jing is sad, she is also sad, but there are many things that she can't help herself.

"Say ——!" Xiong Jing drank violently. "Are you going to kill you?"

"Woo...... concubine is guilty, please give the king death." Mi Xuan cried even louder, she couldn't refuse her father, and she couldn't poison her lover, so she could only pour a pot of wine into Rushui. Now Xiong Jing asked, she only knew that she was guilty of death.

"Chang Jiang, what is the crime of killing the king?" Mi Xuan couldn't bear to say anything, and Xiong Jing could only ask Changjiang coldly.

"Kill the king, when the three clans are arrested, the clan is ......" Chang Jiang sighed, he didn't expect the queen to really do this.

"The king, the king......" The Zhu clan is to kill all the people of the Mi clan, and Mi Xuan can ask for death alone, but the whole Mi clan cannot die. She quickly raised her head to look at Xiong Jing, and said hurriedly: "Please forgive the Mi family, this Mi Xuan's crime has nothing to do with the Mi family." ”

"You gave it, but this pot of wine?" Xiong Jing's purpose in asking Changjiang was to force Mi Xuan to answer. What he cared about was whether Qi Xuan really wanted to poison him, not whether she was guilty or not.

"Yes, yes." Mi Xuan lowered her head, crying with indescribable sadness.

"Where's the wine?" Xiong Jing asked. "Why don't you ...... in Lanhua Palace a few times?"

"To the king, the queen mother is also." All the people in the temple retreated, but no one expected Concubine Zhao to come. Chang Jiang glanced at Xiong Jing helplessly, he was already very careful when he mobilized the temple people, but he didn't expect to alarm Concubine Zhao.

Xiong Jing was also flustered when he heard Concubine Zhao coming, he came to Lanhua Palace in person because he didn't want the matter to be known to everyone in the palace, even if Mi Xuan was guilty, he could be pardoned in private. If Concubine Zhao knows, the paper will not be able to contain the fire.

"Child......" Concubine Zhao said that it was there, and subconsciously, Xiong Jing quickly stood beside Mi Xuan, and dragged her up from the ground, and then saluted Concubine Zhao: "The child has seen the queen mother." ”

He saluted Mi Xuan but did not bow it, and shook Mi Xuan a few times, and Mi Xuan said with a cry: "Mi Xuan has seen the queen mother." ”

Concubine Zhao came with Wang Yin, and the news she got was not very complete, only that the king took people to Lanhua Palace to search, and when she arrived at the bottom of the steps of Lanhua Palace, she knew that she had found wine. The wine made Concubine Zhao's expression change greatly, so that when she entered the hall, her face turned pale.

"The queen mother came here late at night, and I don't know what disturbed the queen mother." Before Concubine Zhao could speak, Xiong Jing spoke first. He didn't want Concubine Zhao to get involved in this matter, especially before the matter was completely figured out.

"Lanhua Palace has found wine, how can the queen mother sleep peacefully for such a big event?" Concubine Zhao looked at Mi Xuan with reproachful eyes, Lanhua Palace is where Mi Xuan lives, and the search for the wine is naturally inseparable from Mi Xuan. Thinking that his son said that he didn't believe in Mi Xuan before, it must have something to do with this wine.

"The queen mother is mistaken." Mi Xuan wanted to speak, but was pulled by Xiong Jing. "The child heard that someone wanted to poison Xuan'er, so he hurriedly came to search, but fortunately only found a copper kettle, but did not find wine."

"Really?" The son's hand held Mi Xuan's hand tightly, Mi Xuan couldn't stop crying, and Concubine Zhao didn't believe her son's words. At this time, the temple people who had just exited the Ming Hall all came in again, and she was not asking Xiong Jing, but the temple people from the food prison.

"Queen Mother, what the king said is correct." The temple man took a few steps closer and bowed to Concubine Zhao. "The whole palace was searched, and there was no wine, so I only got a copper kettle. The minister thought that this pot had been filled with wine, and there was still residual poison, so please give it a try. ”

"Who owns the kettle, and where did you find it?" Concubine Zhao glanced at Xiong Jing and Qi Xuan as she spoke, but she still felt that something was wrong.

"The copper kettle was found in the general chapter's room, and I don't know who owns it." After all, the temple people were not the temple people of Lanhua Palace, and Mi Xuan was not in the room at the time, so he couldn't tell who owned it for a while, but this matter was not difficult.

"Someone! Escort all the people and maids of Lanhua Palace Temple into the palace prison and interrogate them carefully. Concubine Zhao shouted. As soon as she gave the order, Wang Yinyou immediately said sharply: "Don't take it away yet?" "Commanding the armor to take the people of Lanhua Palace away.

"Queen Mother!" Xiong Jing was also anxious, "The copper kettle is poisonous or not, I don't know yet." Why did you take away the temple maid? ”

"It is a great sin to murder the king, how can you condone it? If they kill themselves to protect themselves, what if? "Concubine Zhao has to ignore it.

The temple maids were taken away one by one, and some of them were still calling for the queen. Mi Xuan's body began to tremble, and she had to bow down and confess her sins several times, but Xiong Jing's hands were made of iron, and she was not allowed to kneel. Concubine Zhao saw that her son and Mi Xuan were as glued as before, and said leisurely: "It's late at night, you can invite the king back to the palace to sleep." ”

"The queen mother, the child is not sleepy." Xiong Jing watched things get bigger and bigger, and he was helpless.

"It's late at night, and the king should go back to the palace and go to bed." Concubine Zhao said again, this time the voice was louder.

"Yui. The child and the child retired. Xiong Jing took Mi Xuan's hand and retired together, he was going to take Mi Xuan to bed.

"Before the wedding, why did the king bring Mi Xuan to bed?" Concubine Zhao was displeased again.

"After the mother, the child and Xuan'er are indeed not married, but Xuan'er has already sued the temple." Xiong Jing argued, and without waiting for Concubine Zhao to agree, he pulled Mi Xuan and walked quickly. Concubine Zhao looked at his figure getting farther and farther away from Mi Xuan, and could only stomp her feet.

Lanhua Palace is not far from the main bed, but she can't walk without going far, and when Xiong Jing asks her, she suddenly hugs Xiong Jing and cries. Before, she cried mostly depressed and resigned to fate, but now she is in Xiong Jing's arms, so that she can cry loudly and vent her inner sadness and fear. She was not exactly her before, she was just a part of the Mi family. Only now, in Xiong Jing's arms, is she free, she will not be forced to be herself who she does not want to be, she will not be frightened, and she will not be reluctantly wronged.

Mi Xuan howled and cried, hearing her cry, Xiong Jing had no intention of asking about the wine. That's not something that Qi Xuan can decide alone, many times she is just a puppet of the family, although that family is more than a thousand miles away from her. Aren't all the Qin generals like this? Fan Yuzhi escaped without regard for his family.

What he has to worry about now is not Mi Xuan, but the queen mother. The queen mother has always wanted to win the south as the queen, if those maids in Lanhua Palace say something, the queen mother will definitely grasp this matter and not give up. And he can't interfere in this matter - Yingdu may be his Yingdu, but the dormitory is the Qin Palace of the Queen Mother.

What to do? Howling and crying for a while, Mi Xuan, who gradually regained her senses, cried less and less, but she was still crying. Xiong Jing looked at the jade neck under her bun, kissed it, and finally let out a long sigh. This may be the end of his restless duty, he shouldn't have married Mi Xuan, Mi Xuan should have been King Qin's lover, but he forcibly snatched her over, who can blame him?
