226, the real murderer
Bai Feng turned the tea cup in his hand twice, "The tea is so good, but it is added something, it is really a waste, a waste ......"
Her words startled the people present, especially Miss Mo, who had just served tea, and was frightened when she heard this.
"It's not me, it's not me, I didn't do anything, I just brought the tea over......"
Her face was ashen, looking at the eyes of the people around her as if she was the murderer, she grabbed the little palace maid who brought tea in on the side,
"It's her, the tea she sent in, she must have done it."
The Queen Mother was furious, but she didn't attack immediately, but suppressed the fire and said, "White girl, you said that this tea is poisonous, what kind of poison is it?"
Please also ask the girl to see, is there all the tea, or is there only this cup of Princess Jin? ”
There is a big difference between the two, if it is just a cup, then the little palace maid, Miss Mo, and Mrs. Mo who have touched the tea cup are all likely to start.
But if all the tea is available, then it has nothing to do with Mrs. Mo's mother and daughter, and the tea was tampered with before it was delivered.
The Queen Mother is angry, and it is poisonous!
When he was in the paddock, Gu Nian almost died of poison, and in the paddock, when he encountered such a thing, it can be said that it was because of the temporary place, which gave people a chance to take advantage of it.
But this is the palace, it is a harem, not to mention the iron bucket, but there are many people in the pantry, and it is not so simple to start.
In the palace, because of Empress Jiang's matter, the people waiting in the palace have already been cleaned once, and they are cleaning up for the second time, are these people jumping over the wall in a hurry?
It is a bit unlikely that the Queen Mother will suspect the people in the Changning Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Although it is said that there is a bit of friction between the two families, it is too bold to poison under her nose, besides, according to Miss Mo's brain, how did she hide so many eyes and put the medicine into it in such a short period of effort?
"This poison will not attack immediately, after drinking it for three hours, it begins to have a stomachache, as if it is a cold, and slowly the things in the body are emptied, and it begins to bleed, and finally it becomes a dry corpse and dies......"
Bai Feng blinked his eyes and replied to the Queen Mother's words with a smile.
The ladies in the hall were all stunned when they heard this, they would not have an attack immediately, they had already left the palace after three hours, and when the seizure came out, they couldn't find out, and they didn't really think it was a cold and diarrhea......
When the time comes, it is not clear whether he will die.
Bai Feng admired everyone's faces for a while, and then looked at Gu Nian, after all, she was brought in by Gu Nian, and it was what she should have done to stop Gu Nian from drinking tea just now.
But her identity is not good for her to be exposed too much in front of others.
After Gu Nian agreed, she read the tea of everyone present cup by cup, some people had problems with the tea, and some did not.
The tea in question was just replaced, that is, after the little palace maid who served tea came up......
Miss Mo shrank in Mrs. Mo's arms, and when she heard it, she immediately jumped up and shouted, "I said it's not me, there must be something wrong with this palace maid." ”
The little palace man was also frightened, and fell to his knees, crying and begging, "The slave doesn't know anything, the slave just met a sister at the door, and she asked ......the slave to bring her in."
"Why did I just happen to run into you, it's not someone else, it must be you...... You still dare to quibble, and you still pull me into the water......"
Miss Mo's confidence became more and more sufficient, and she pointed at the little palace maid and scolded with her hands.
The eldest princess of Changning glanced at the queen mother who was seated, and scolded with a calm face, "Shut up, the queen mother is here, what are you, mine, is this how the house teaches you rules?" ”
After speaking, she said apologetically to the Queen Mother, "This child is scared enough, and I also ask the mother to be gracious and let the courtier's daughter-in-law take her back first.
I hope that the mother will be gracious. ”
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, this tea was produced in Miaojiang, and she asked people to serve tea, also to draw out what she was going to say later.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen before the words were spoken.
Fortunately, Princess Jin didn't drink it, otherwise, it would be another turmoil.
No, it's already turmoil, and these people have been bullied.
She knew how powerful it was, she turned her head and ordered the female officials serving around her to invite the imperial doctor over, after all, she knew Bai Feng's identity and could trust her, while others didn't know.
Therefore, it is better to find a doctor to come over and see it again to be more convincing.
Then she said apologetically to the eldest princess of Changning, "The banquet has not started yet, leaving at this time, is it disturbing the interest, let the lady take the girl to sit on the side, just calm down."
My aunt also asked not to misunderstand, the mourning family kept them because today was a good day, and they didn't want to disturb these things. ”
The eldest princess of Changning was not displeased at all, but said with a smile, "Niangniang said that she was laughing, but this happened strangely, and she wanted the courtiers to see it, and she would take this palace maid down and be heavily punished for the thirty boards, and she would have to open her mouth if she didn't speak." ”
Thirty boards, although they will not kill people immediately, but for a thin little palace maid, it is almost the same, and even more terrifying.
Such suspected people are generally not treated and cared for, and the wound will gradually fester, and even if they get back a life, the vast majority of people have only one way to die slowly.
This process is very painful, and it is not as pleasant as being beaten to death.
Moreover, even if he died, he was guilty of a crime.
If it doesn't hurt the family, it's okay, but once the joint responsibility is investigated, the family outside the palace can't be left behind.
The palace maid kept crying and begging.
Many people in the audience were softened by her crying, but no one spoke, after all, if it wasn't for luck, maybe they would have drunk tea with poison.
Bai Feng stood beside Gu Nian and said with a smile, "Nian Nian, the thirty boards sound like a lot, will they be dead." If you accidentally kill you, can't you ask the real murderer? ”
When the other ladies heard this, their hearts moved, if they really went down for thirty boards, then they probably really couldn't ask.
Before anyone else could say anything, the women with poisonous tea in front of them knelt down in front of the Queen Mother and pleaded, "Niangniang, this tea, fortunately we didn't eat it, if we really eat it, we don't know how to die."
Since she said that she was sent in on behalf of someone else, let her find out that person, and always find out the person behind the scenes, right?
Our lives are as thin as paper, and it is not a pity to die, but if we don't find out, then we will endanger the mother, the harem master, and even Your Majesty, so what can we do? ”
These words seem to be for the queen mother, the emperor is good, but it also makes people hear another meaning, that is, to force the queen mother to find out the people behind the scenes.
In fact, there is no need for these people to say anything, the Queen Mother will definitely find people out.
What is happening here will definitely alarm the emperor's side.
As soon as the Queen Mother appeased the people, a eunuch ran over there, "The emperor has arrived." ”
Everyone stood up and prepared to meet them, and at this time, Gu Nian took the opportunity to hold Bai Feng's hand, and the two knelt down with the crowd.
The emperor brought a lot of people with him.
Except for Xiao Yue, Gu Shi'an, the princes and ministers who fancy them, and the other courtiers who can be invited into the palace have all come.
At the same time, there was also a doctor summoned by the Queen Mother, and the judge of the Tai Hospital came.
When the Queen Mother saw him come in, she led Xu Yuan to the place where the tea was placed, and talked about the situation in a low voice.
Everyone present knew that this matter would definitely reach the ears of the emperor, after all, it was up to him to arrange someone to investigate.
But I didn't expect the emperor to come over in person.
Xiao Yue frowned, walked to Gu Nian's side, held her hand, and said in a low voice, "Are you okay?" Then he swept around, fell on Bai Feng's body again, and finally looked at Zhou Yuxuan beside him.
Gu Nian shook his head, trying to break free of his hand, there were so many people, and he grabbed it so tightly, which made Gu Nian still blush a little.
Helpless, Xiao Yue was like an iron palm, he grasped it firmly, and when he saw that he couldn't break free, Gu Nian went with him, focusing on the emperor's side to hear the case.
Zhou Yuxuan was also worried, he had just heard that Bai Feng and Miss Mo had a dispute.
His heart was worried and helpless.
The dispute between Bai Feng and Miss Mo has been put aside for the time being, after all, for poisoning, the dispute between girls is already a trivial matter.
But if there was no dispute between the two, there would be no discovery that the tea was poisoned.
The emperor was not polite, nor did he need to be polite, but went straight to the point, "I have already heard people say that on the way to the matter, now it is a matter of finding out who poisoned it." ”
Although the emperor's tone was slow, his expression made people unable to see through the joy and anger.
Originally, when such a big thing happened in the palace, the emperor should be furious, and then attack the relevant people.
On the contrary, the emperor is very calm.
He looked at Chang Yuan on the side, "You go and ask." ”
Chang Yuan nodded yes, and walked to the little palace maid who was still kneeling on the ground, with a panicked face and silent tears.
"Tell me again about the tea in your hands and then in the hands of your nobles, don't be afraid, you can't escape from what you did, you didn't do it, and I won't wronged you."
The little palace maid looked at Chang Yuan with teary eyes, and when she heard the words, she raised her sleeve and wiped her tears, then swallowed her saliva and stumbled and said,
"The slave and maid are on an errand in the imperial dining room, and this meeting has not yet been opened, so the slave and maid have no errands.
Because my family was poor, I had never seen a nobleman, and I knew that there were many nobles here, so I wanted to come and have a look.
Before the slave and maid looked in at the door, there was a big palace maid sister who pulled the slave and maid and gave the tea tray in her hand to the slave maid, she said that she was anxious to urinate and was afraid of losing her honor in front of the nobles, so she asked the slave and maid to help and send it in.
The slave's father and mother taught the slave and maid that they must be kind to others in order to survive in the palace, so they helped send them in. ”
Chang Yuan interrupted her, "And then." ”
The little palace maid tried hard to recall, "Then the slave maid was sent over, the atmosphere inside was not very good, there was a lady ......" she pointed with her finger and pointed at Mrs. Mo and said,
"That's her, she took one from the tray and put it in the girl's hand......" she pointed to Miss Mo, and then looked down and narrated.
After she finished speaking, Gu Shi'an walked over and handed the tea tray on the side to the little palace maid, and said, "How did you bring it in, and which cup did that lady take, do you remember?" ”
His voice was very gentle, his demeanor was also very elegant, and he was also elegant, the little palace maid was stunned, and she said in a daze,
"The slave has a very stupid brain, the only thing is to have a good memory and never forget ......"
As she spoke, she restored how she had just brought it in and how the teacup was placed.
After Gu Shi'an looked at it, he said again, "Are you sure?" ”
"The slave swears with her life, and there is no fault in it."
Gu Shi'an nodded, looked at Mrs. Mo slowly, and asked, "What this palace person said, I don't know if Mrs. Mo has any opinions?" ’
Mrs. Mo didn't know what Gu Shi'an meant, but she still nodded stunned.
When the eldest princess of Changning saw Mrs. Mo nodding in affirmation, her eyes couldn't help but darken, and she returned to normal in an instant.
Gu Shi'an smiled and said to the little palace maid again, "Then can you still recognize the sister who asked you to help?" ”
The little palace maid looked up at Gu Shi'an, nodded and said, "I recognize, the slave maid also heard that sister called 'Xiu'e' or 'Xiu'er'"
"Chang Yuan, you take someone to find out the palace person she said and escort it here, and at the same time, there is also today's pantry, and all the palace people on errand are gathered together."
When the emperor heard this, he ordered Chang Yuan beside him.
Chang Yuan took the order and retreated, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pull the little palace maid out.
was originally a good Mid-Autumn Festival, but people were panicked by a cup of tea.
After Chang Yuan took people out, Gu Shi'an walked to Mrs. Mo's side and said, "Madam, this king has a few words I want to ask you, and I ask Madame to answer truthfully." ”
The eldest princess of Changning's face sank like water, and said, "King Su, what do you mean by this?" What do you want to ask my daughter-in-law? We are also victims, not suspects.
Whatever you want to ask, come and ask me. Don't scare women and children. ”
Gu Shi'an's expression was indifferent, he arched his hand towards the eldest princess of Changning, and said unhurriedly, "Princess, asking Mrs. a few words, there is no other meaning, it's just that Shi'an is a little curious......"
He pointed to the tea tray that the little palace maid had just set up and said, "According to the idea of ordinary people, it should be the cup of tea that she has recently, but why did Mrs. Mo take the innermost and farthest one?" ”
He pointed to Mrs. Mo's cuffs again, "The clothes Mrs. Mo is wearing today is a wide-sleeved dress. He said as he demonstrated it to everyone.
When Mrs. Mo takes the tea, her sleeve will cover all the tea cups on the tea tray......
The eldest princess of Changning sneered, "You mean, my daughter-in-law may also be the one who poisoned her?" ”
"The Imperial Doctor is here, if someone from my house poisons it, then the poison must still be there, even if it is used up, there will be residues.
You can ask the hospital to find a doctor who understands medicine, and the doctor will come and search. See if there are any clues on her. ”
She glanced at Gu Shi'an mockingly, and sighed, "I know that our two families are a little unpleasant, but this is in the palace, under the nose of the Queen Mother, who dares to make a mistake?" ”
"You can't slander our family just because it's unpleasant."
As she spoke, she was about to kneel down towards the emperor, "Ask the emperor to see clearly, and give the Mo family justice." Please ask the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly, and be sure to give everyone justice. ”
Before the eldest princess of Changning knelt down, she was stopped by the emperor with an arrow step, "Grandmother, I have already sent someone to investigate, I believe the truth will be revealed in a while." Shi'an is also concerned about chaos, and concern is chaos. ”
Gu Shi'an looked at the eldest princess of Changning lightly, "Mrs. Mo's behavior is too weird, this has to make people guess, since the princess said that it can't be your family, the younger generation naturally believes you." ”
At the same time, Chang Yuan took the little palace maid to return and returned, and there was a palace man who was tied hand and foot behind him and gagged.
"Your Majesty, this is the big palace maid who asked the little palace maid to help, and the big palace maid who used to be on an errand in Fengyi Palace is called Xiu'e.
Now Fengyi Palace is empty, because the palace has been cleaned up once, and the empty hall has been scattered everywhere.
This Xiu'e has just arrived at the pantry on an errand. But she only cleaned in the pantry, and it was not her responsibility to serve tea and water.
Today, because there are many nobles, I let her out to serve tea and water......
The little one had just gone to her place, and she was about to hang herself, but luckily she went in time. ”
There are also these few who are on errands in the pantry, and the small ones are also brought. ”
The emperor nodded and looked at Xiu'e, the errand man in Fengyi Palace, that is, he used to serve Empress Jiang, how could he not be impressed at all.
"Since everyone is here, then this matter will be handed over to Jinyiwei, King Su, I will limit you to find out the people behind the scenes within three days."
The eldest princess of Changning stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers think that it is a little inappropriate to hand over the matter to King Su, who is the father of Princess Jin, and he just bit the people in our house because of his concern."
If you care about it again, it's messy, how can you bite others? Isn't that an unjust case? Moreover, this is not good for the emperor. ”
The emperor let out an 'oh' and said with a smile, "Then who do you think it's better for your old man to hand over this matter to?" ”
"This matter should be handed over to Dali Temple and Zongren Mansion to investigate together, Jinyiwei's methods are too vicious......" The eldest princess of Changning pointed to the king of Qijun and said, "Your Majesty thinks how about handing it over to the king of Qijun?" ”
King Qijun is in charge of the Zongren Mansion, but that is just an idle job, and these princes who stay in the capital have all been drained of their will, as long as they are rich and noble, there is basically no big deal.
Suddenly, such a matter was handed over to him, and he waved his hand desperately and said, "Where is the Zongren Mansion suitable for investigating the case?" Let Dali Temple and the Criminal Department come to this matter. Chen thinks Jinyiwei is very good.
Just because the matter involves the princess of Jin, the king of Su loves his daughter, and he still can't find out the murderer? “
He kept saying good things to Gu Shi'an and promoting Gu Shi'an.
At the same time, he begged for mercy to the eldest princess of Changning, "Your old man will spare the juniors, what kind of person is the juniors, others don't know, you don't know?"
Such a big thing, you can't do it, you really can't do it. ”
The eldest princess of Changning slapped it, "It's a shame for the royal family, how can the royal family have such a person as you......"
Princess Qijun saw that her husband was slapped and scolded, and she was immediately unhappy, and said, "Your old man is of high seniority, no one says anything, when will the Zongren Mansion still take care of this?"
Now it's not the royal people who commit crimes, what is the Zongren Mansion, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department do? ”
The eldest princess of Changning's face was hot, but she didn't expect to be bumped into by a person who didn't know how to do it, and immediately scolded, "You woman, what do you know?" ”
Princess Qijun laughed out loud and said, "I'm a woman, isn't your old man?" ”
The eldest princess of Changning pointed at her, her fingers trembling slightly, "Your Majesty, she is a disobedient offender." ”
The emperor looked at all this expressionlessly, and said, "Needless to say, this matter will be handed over to Dali Temple and Jinyiwei for trial together, since my aunt and grandmother feel that the World Security Council has a personal vendetta, then, everyone who has put poisoned tea in front of the present can send someone to watch and supervise." ”
After speaking, he had to ask the people from Dali Temple to come and take Xiu'e away.
Who knows, Na Xiu'e struggled and said loudly, "No need to judge, the slave maid said everything, the poison in the tea was released by the slave maid, the slave maid just wanted to poison the princess of Jin, and the slave maid was to avenge the queen's mother."
It's all because of Princess Jin and the queen that the queen will die. A person as good as the queen mother died like that, and she still had such a reputation.
Slaves and maids do not obey, good people do not live long, and disasters live for thousands of years.
Slaves and maids will do the right thing for heaven! and was afraid of being exposed, so he poisoned the tea on the tea tray, so that someone would accompany Princess Jin and not let her be lonely on the Huangquan Road. ”
Xiao Yue grabbed Gu Nian's hand tightly, and a weird smile curled up at the corner of his lips.
He let go of Gu Nian's hand and walked in front of Xiu'e, "You said it was you who poisoned, so do you know what the name of that poison is?" ”
"I don't know, it was the slave who went to the hospital to steal it." Xiu'e didn't have a trace of fear, and answered Xiao Yue confidently.
Xu Yuanju had already checked the cups of tea, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This girl, you can't talk nonsense, how could there have been such poisons in the Tai Hospital?"
The hospital only saves people, not poisons.
Besides, this is not an ordinary poison, this tea is a unique tea in Miaojiang, and it is only offered a little bit every year, because it is moisturizing, so it is only distributed to the masters of the harem.
As for the poison that goes down here, if it is eaten alone, it is not toxic at all.
But in this tea, the toxicity of this tea was born.
To moisturize your face, you must invigorate your blood, but if your blood is too much, it won't be out of control. ”
Xiao Yue was condescending, tapping Xiu'e's chin with his toes, "Did you hear everything?" Tell me, who told you to do it, and where did the medicine come from?
You should know the reputation of this king in the past, and if you are willing, you can go to the hands of this king and try all kinds of deaths.
Guaranteed to let you taste it all and not die yet! ”
Xiu'e's body trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, which was fleeting.
"Jin Yiwei's punishment can also be passed once, since this girl has a sense of justice like this, then she must be able to bear the pain." Gu Shi'an said slowly on the side.
"I said, I said...... The poison was given by the people of the Loyal Palace. Xiu'e didn't know if she was scared or what, and the words rushed out of her mouth.
