Text Chapter 38: Ask for a grace

Yu Zixuan put one hand on her cheek and said with an inexplicable smile: "His Royal Highness the Ninth is really a person with eight faces, no matter how big or small, he knows everything." ”

Hearing the meaning of her words, the smile in Ye Lixuan's eyes became a little thicker.

"It's just that His Royal Highness the Ninth wouldn't have thought about it, his father doesn't like to be calculated, if you think about it carefully......" Her tone dragged on, as if embarrassed: "Now it seems that he saved me, but in fact, His Royal Highness the Ninth wants me to go into the water together, right?" ”

"Why is it that this king's good intentions come to your mouth and say it, but it sounds very vicious?" Ye Lixuan stared at her, feeling that she was so calm that she couldn't see a trace of waves on her face.

At her age, she might not be able to do it herself.

Yu Zixuan shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly and said, "Actually, even if the people have opinions, what can they do?" His Royal Highness the Ninth had already planned everything, and now that he is here, there must be something else, right? ”

"All right."

"His Royal Highness the Ninth is not a person who beats around the bush, and there is no need to go around in circles, it doesn't hurt to say it directly."

"This king wants to know, has this king been calculated since the time you delivered food to the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Today, in a few words, she directly changed from the identity of a concubine to a concubine and became a concubine.

Looking at the tens of thousands of people in the northern country, how many can you find such ability?

Such a smart woman in ice and snow, even when he was in the main hall today, he couldn't help but help her speak.

Yu Zixuan smiled silently, the answer was about to come out, Ye Lixuan shook his head: "Only this once, if you dare to calculate this king next time, I will not be able to spare you." ”

"Okay." It's one thing to say yes, it's another thing to do it or not.

Yu Zixuan felt that today's episode was just a temptation of Ye Lixuan to the emperor, and wanted to see how tolerant the emperor could be towards the Yu family.

It is impossible to use this to elevate the power in the hands of Yu Hongcai.

Sent away this 'big Buddha' who likes to make trouble, and the palace maid brought it with the freshly boiled medicine.

At this moment, Yu Wan, who was lying on the couch, had regained some consciousness, smelled the pungent smell of herbs, couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and retched for a while.

"What is this, take it away, I don't want to drink it!" She was about to push away with her backhand.

Fortunately, the palace maid reacted quickly enough and dodged it, but she still spilled some.

The palace maid didn't dare to step forward again in fear, and glanced at Yu Zixuan timidly, a little at a loss.

"Give it to me." Yu Zixuan took the medicine bowl from her hand and came to the bed.

Yu Wan looked up at her, and the two clusters of willow eyebrows frowned unhappily: "Sixth sister, I just said, I don't drink medicine, can't you hear?" ”

"It's okay if you don't want to drink it, but I heard the doctor say that if you don't drink the medicine, then the poison in the fourth sister's body can't be solved, and when the time comes, ...... Let me think about it. Yu Zixuan tapped her head with her fingers, and after a pause, she spoke again: "It seems that it will bleed from the seven orifices, and the death will be miserable." ”

"What?!" Yu Wan was startled by her, and her white cheeks suddenly lost color.

Of course, Yu Zixuan lied to her.

This medicinal soup is also the effect of detoxification, and it can also calm the mind, and it is directly dispensed in the palace, and the best medicinal materials are used, all of which are good things.

You can't die if you drink it.

It still has some effect on her now weak body.

Yu Zixuan saw that she hurriedly snatched the medicine bowl, and poured it directly into the two mouthfuls, the monkey was anxious, where was the demeanor of a young lady.

After Yu Wan finished drinking, she still had palpitations, and said according to her heart: "Sixth sister, but I still feel a little uncomfortable, do you think I will be fine?" ”

"I'm not a doctor, so I can't answer." Yu Zixuan waved her hand, too lazy to listen to her ramblings, and turned around to leave.

"Don't go, I didn't offend anyone, why would someone poison me? It doesn't make sense...... "Yu Wan was very scared in her heart, and she didn't dare to stay alone in the side hall.

I always felt that there would be people who wanted her life.

Seeing that she was gone, he didn't bother to put on his shoes, so he chased her out.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the store, I didn't see Yu Zixuan who went out, but bumped into Yu Hongcai who came back.

"Father, you're back." She choked up, and tears fell uncontrollably: "The daughter almost couldn't pick up her father." ”

"This is in the palace, and it's the emperor's birthday, what are you crying about." Yu Hongcai's gloomy eyes swept coldly towards her.

Yu Wan shuddered, quickly closed her mouth, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Are you alright?" She looked half-dead just now, and with the solemn expression of the imperial doctor, Yuhong thought that most people could not be saved.

But seeing that she could already say that she could go, she thought of Yu Zixuan, who had just stayed in the side hall with Yu Wan.

"What about Zixuan?" He asked in a deep voice.

"The sixth sister just said it, and I wanted her to stop walking around the palace, but in a blink of an eye, she disappeared." Yuyun was very aggrieved in her heart, she was almost poisoned, and she didn't see her father care a few words.

Why did you mention Yu Zixuan again as soon as you opened your mouth?

Just because of Yu Zixuan's current identity, is she the emperor's concubine?

She clenched her fists unwillingly, and muttered in her mouth: "Father, my daughter thinks that the poison is not for her daughter, the person who really wants the poison is the sixth sister!" ”

Syllable!

As soon as the words fell, Yu Hongcai slapped him in the face.

The strength was not heavy, but Yu Wan's body was weak, and he almost didn't stand firmly, and fell directly to the ground.

She covered her hot and swollen cheeks, held back her tears, and didn't let herself cry: "My daughter knows that she is wrong, she shouldn't talk nonsense in the palace." ”

"You brain, I don't know how your mother taught you!" Yuhong is not clear, so she shouldn't have been brought in.

How many pairs of eyes are staring at the Prime Minister's Mansion now, and how many people want to see something happen to the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Neither hand counts!

He frowned: "Wait a while, no matter who asks about the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Yes, my daughter understands." Yuwan nodded.

……

In less than an hour, the Iron Guards had already completed a thorough investigation in the Lingxiao Palace.

They found out that only Yuwan's meal had been tampered with, and the poison was the five-shaped sand, which could kill people in large quantities.

It is not easy to bring such a large amount into the palace, and it has to be placed in the dishes, so I directly checked the imperial dining room.

One by one, the interrogation continued, but no suspect was found.

The emperor was furious: "What if I eat the poisoned meal by mistake today!" I raised you, not to let you tell me that you can't find out anything, you don't know anything! ”

"The emperor is angry, and the slave has one thing to report." An Nan took the hot tea and fell to his knees.

"Say."

"Before the birthday banquet began, His Royal Highness Nine looked for the minions, saying that it was to let the minions go to check again, so the minions went, and they could ensure that every meal at that time was fine." An Nan glanced at the emperor's face carefully before continuing: "However, at that time, the slave also discovered something wrong and reminded His Highness the Nine. ”

"Go on."

"At that time, the slave saw that in the singing and dancing class invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from outside the palace this time, there were two people who were sneaky, and there seemed to be some problems, maybe the problem was with them."

This statement hit the nail on the head.

The emperor gave him a look, and the Iron Guards understood it and immediately retreated.

In less than a cup of tea, all those people of the Ice Clan had been escorted to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the minions feel that those who dare to poison the birthday banquet don't even want their lives, and the methods of ordinary interrogation may not work." An Nan whispered on the side.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and his deep and cold gaze swept over each one, and he said faintly word by word: "From now on, An Nan, give me a number, every ten, if no one comes out to testify against the person who poisoned him, start with you, and take him out directly to correct the Fa on the spot." ”

"Yes, the minion obeys." An Nan got up and walked down the steps to the front of the Ice Clan.

There was a bit of excitement in his shrewd eyes, and he began to count: "One, two, three......"

Ten times.

The Ice Clan all bowed their heads and trembled, and none of them stood up to testify.

The Iron Guard general directly lifted one and dragged it out.

Only a scream was heard.

The Ice Clan people kneeling on the main hall suddenly panicked, thinking that the emperor was just scaring and scaring them, but they didn't expect that it was really killed.

An Nan continued to count vertically.

Many Ice Clan people couldn't bear it anymore, and dragged their fellow clansmen around them, letting them know and quickly confess the poisoner.

Three, four......

More and more Ice Clan people were pulled out and beheaded.

The rest all shrank together, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

An Nan's sharp eyes found that the Ice Clan woman who was dancing at the banquet at that time was protected behind her by a man wearing a mask.

"Your Majesty, the slave seems to know something about that girl." His hand was raised and pointed straight at the woman.

The Iron Guard general couldn't help but say something and stepped forward directly to pull the woman forward.

The man with the mask reflexively stood up and shouted, "Don't, don't touch her, it has nothing to do with her!" ”

"Nothing to do with her? How do you know? An Nan asked.

The man knew that he had slipped his mouth, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"Because he is the one who poisoned him." Before the words fell, Ye Lixuan walked in from outside the main hall, and Yu Zixuan followed behind him.

He shook the white paper bag in his hand and threw it to the general Tie Wen: "Take it to the imperial doctor to verify it." ”

"Yes!"

"Father, the sons and daughters are here, not only to bring physical evidence, but the sixth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has more important things to say." Ye Lixuan took a step back.

Yu Zixuan bowed: "Before the folk girl spoke, she wanted to ask for a favor." ”

"Grace?" The emperor's face sank: "Miss Zixuan has already received a lot of grace today, and now she wants to ask me for grace again." ”

"The emperor misunderstood the meaning of the people's daughter, the grace of the people's daughter is not for herself, nor for the prime minister's house, but for the person who made a mistake."

Oh? The heart of the poisoned person is vicious, and it is not a pity to die, and you should ask for grace for such a person! The Emperor said displeased.

Yu Zixuan had long expected such a reaction, and an unfathomable smile swept through her lowered eyes.

"The emperor didn't know that the person who poisoned him was a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and because he couldn't see the people's daughter being favored by his father and grandmother, he tried every means to make the people's daughter die a good death." She said in a lamented voice: "The people's daughter is in the heart of being kind to others, but unfortunately the poisoned person does not know how to be grateful, and she has intensified it, so she wants the emperor's permission and let the people's daughter personally execute the vicious person." ”
