Chapter 22: The Truth
Qianyu trembled, tears fell down, she didn't dare to look up at Gongsun Yuting, let alone look at the pair of flowers, she remembered, the pair of flowers was put on by her mother, because, the queen mother said that the pearls on it were very beautiful.
Gongsun Yuting did not say to the outside world that Ouyang Yu's poison was solved, the purpose was to catch the murderer who poisoned, he thought that he had found out where the poison came from, and he must know who the murderer was immediately, who expected, it was not so simple.
"Pass the order, immediately investigate the origin of this pearl head flower, and be sure to find out the murderer" Gongsun Yuting slapped the table, his fierce gaze, and his angry eyebrows were difficult to show.
"Obey the king's order" as a salute, the central management secretary Ji Jue took the holy order, and the moment he lowered his head, his eyes swept to Qianyu who was crying on the side, only to see her body tremble suddenly, and Ji Jue smiled at the corner of her mouth.
Qianyu cried with red eyes, her little hands clenched her cuffs tightly, she was very scared, she knew that if she continued like this, she would make her father angry, and she also knew that if her father pursued it further, the nurse would be found out, and she would be found out, now I don't know what the situation of the queen mother is, my father will definitely kill the nurse, no, I want to stop my father, everything is my own fault.
"Father... Father, that pearl-headed flower was worn by me for the queen mother, father, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it" Qianyu cried and rushed to Gongsun Yuting, her eyes were full of tears, her little face was red, and her hands trembled slightly.
A thousand words and a word, woke up others, the king was stunned, Ji Jue looked back, Gong'e was puzzled, the atmosphere froze in an instant, and in the main hall, there was no sound and no sound, as quiet as a flat bell, until a light sigh.
"Qianyu, tell my father, you don't know that there is poison, right?" Gongsun Yuting slowly squatted down, wiped the tears on Qianyu's face with his sleeve, and asked her gently, but Qianyu was silent, the tears on his face became more and more fierce, and he couldn't finish wiping them, and Gongsun Yuting's hands trembled anxiously.
If Qianyu admits that she knows that the flower is poisonous, it is tantamount to admitting her guilt, and Gongsun Yuting naturally knows that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, even if she is a princess, she is only a murderer in front of the fair and clear Criminal Law Department.
"Father, I didn't know that it was poisonous, I really didn't know" Qianyu shook his little head, grabbed Gongsun Yuting's sleeve with his little hands, choked up, sobbed softly, and his tears turned into poetry.
"Father knows" Gongsun Yuting finally breathed a sigh of relief and took Qianyu into his arms to comfort him.
Hearing that the queen's phoenix health was not good, Mu Changfeng, who was far away in Zhilan Palace, also came, he stood at the door and listened for a while, heard Qianyu's hoarse voice crying, he frowned deeply, and heard Qianyu say that Zhuhua was hers, he was worried, and then looked at the tear-stained little face, wanting to wipe the tears for her.
"Changfeng has seen the king, Changfeng has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not" Everyone looked at Mu Changfeng, who was wearing southern costumes, and walked in, only because of his unique temperament, courage, and handsome eyebrows.
"Changfeng, but it doesn't hurt to say it" Seeing that Mu Changfeng was still wearing a southern suit, Gongsun Yuting couldn't help frowning, but it was not obvious.
"Changfeng saw that the ninth princess wore this pearl flower some time ago, and the princess didn't go out often because of her physical discomfort in those days, I don't know if it was related to the poisoning of the queen's mother" Mu Changfeng said what he thought in detail, and hit the nail on the head with a few words, and cleared the suspicion of Qianyu in a few words.
"A thousand words, is what Changfeng said true?" Gongsun Yuting turned around and asked Qianyu, but her eyes looked at Mu Changfeng, as if she was pleading with him.
"Hmm..."Qianyu nodded weakly, she couldn't grasp what she wanted in a daze, and swayed between her father and queen mother and the nurse.
"Qianyu, tell my father, who gave you this pearl flower?" Sensing something different from Qianyu's performance, Gongsun Yuting's tone changed abruptly, and Qianyu took a step back and looked at him in fear.
"It's... It's the nurse" The hoarse voice was so small that only Gongsun Yuting could hear it, and Qianyu was very reluctant to say that sentence.
"You go in and see your mother, my father has something to do" Gongsun Yuting whispered in Qianyu's ear, laughing at Qianyu and standing in front of others.
"The queen mother, the queen mother is okay?" Qianyu smiled with tears, her eyes shone with light, she smiled, and the cinnabar between her eyebrows became more and more beautiful.
Ouyang Yu has been listening to the movement outside, when Qianyu came in, she was sitting on the bed, under the gauze curtain, the green silk was lightly wrapped, her eyes were slight, her face was charming, she was delicate but not charming, the palace lights were dim, sprinkling brilliance, shining on her pale beauty, Qianyu was dazzled, and she only wished that time was quiet.
Ouyang Yubei's lips opened lightly, and she called out, Qianyu came back to her senses, her eyes were red again, she ran over to hug her, buried herself in her arms and cried again, Ouyang Yu patted her body.
"Queen Mother, Qianyu is good or bad, Qianyu is useless" Qianyu said while crying, snot and tears were all wiped on Ouyang Yu's clothes.
Mu Changfeng heard the choking sound in the house again, and shook his head helplessly to leave.
"Qianyu, do you know why the nurse sent you poisonous bead flowers?" Ouyang Yu stroked Qianyu's hair.
"I don't know" Qianyu choked up and replied, looking at her suspiciously, her heart going up and down.
"Because she was used, someone wanted to get rid of the queen mother, so she used the nurse to harm you and Yan Feng, if the queen mother didn't fight back, wouldn't it be slaughtered by others? And Qianyu will also encounter accidents, Qianyu, you may not understand what I am saying now, but you have to remember that in the future, no matter who you are, you must be wary.
Kindness is good, but sometimes it has to be cruel, you know? Ouyang Yu spoke earnestly, and his fingertips touched the bead flower on Qianyu's head, perhaps, today's poisoning can make Qianyu feel a little more hearted, don't fall for her plans in the future, and let yourself bear those dirty and bloody battles.
Qianyu nodded as if she didn't understand, kindness is good, but sometimes you have to be cruel, this sentence is like an ice tip, across the heart, Qianyu remembered it in her heart, she understood the queen mother because of her own poisoning, and also understood the helplessness of the queen mother, she already knew that in this harem, there are many people who are secretly taking the position of the queen mother, but they never thought that it was so vicious!
Qianyu later learned that the nurse had committed suicide by taking poison before the female official of the Criminal Law Department arrived, Qianyu was very sad, she didn't expect the nurse to really hurt herself, and the person behind her was the beautiful woman Qianyu had seen in Laba Festival, I heard that her name was Su Xiuzhen, and before her father had time to see this person, she learned that she had also taken poison, which can be said to be a lifetime without the king's face, the Criminal Law Department collected evidence and convicted, and the Etiquette Department took back Gong'e to redeploy, and in just a few days, the matter was closed.
Regarding Ouyang Yu's poisoning, Qianyu complained for several days, because he didn't see Yan Feng from beginning to end, and at night, Yan Feng knew that the queen mother was poisoned, and that night, Yan Feng was locked up by Qianyu outside the door covered with ice and snow.
"Speaking of the poisoning of the queen mother, it's also because of Qianyu you, right? What kind of greenhead flower to wear for the queen mother? When arguing that night, Yan Feng coldly accused Qianyu.
Mallard? Ouyang Yu frowned, stopped the embroidery in his hand, held his forehead and sighed, shook his head and chuckled.
"Brother is too much, the queen mother has such a big thing, you don't even know it" Qianyu crossed his hands on his hips and scolded Yan Feng.
"I was in my father's imperial study at that time, and no one came to inform me, so I naturally didn't know" Yan Feng didn't want to fight with Qianyu anymore, so he turned around and turned his back to her.
"It's true that the queen mother was poisoned, but if you didn't come back in time to take care of the queen mother, that's your fault" Qianyu was not to be outdone, his hands were folded, and his back was also to Yan Feng, Ouyang Yu just watched the excitement from the sidelines.
Later, Qianyu stopped making noise, and directly pushed Yan Feng out of the door, asking him to reflect and introspect, Yan Feng was very well-behaved outside the door, he didn't go back to the house or call the door, and he practiced the sword all night, and Qianyu admired it very much.
Seeing that it is about to be the New Year's Eve, Rong'an City has already been bright in the thousands of houses, thousands of wine families, some restaurants have begun to sell at night, brewing good wine for more than ten months just to wait for the New Year's Eve to sell, this has also become a scene of Rong'an City, more of these restaurants that work all night, those thieves who steal chickens and dogs at night do not dare to go out, and the security of Rong'an City seems to be much better all of a sudden.
The inside of the palace can be better than the outside decoration, the crape myrtle unicorn comes from the clouds, the old dust turns into new yarn, the colorful clouds shine on the three palaces, the splendid six courtyards, the seven halls of the beautiful painting, the spring Ze leans on the red corridor, in addition to the original snow that has fallen for the palace to embellish a beauty, there are also those red and purple palace lamps and yarns, the palace has been repainted up and down once, it looks particularly brilliant.
"Your Majesty, do you think this preparation is still proper?" The delicate voice makes people's bones crisp when they listen to it, which is the result of Concubine Hui asking Gongsun Yuting about the decoration of the palace.
"Very good, Concubine Hui really didn't disappoint this king" Gongsun Yuting put down his wine glass and smiled faintly.
In Jinfang Palace, Concubine Hui and Gongsun Yuting are drinking at the same table, and there is not even a palace lady in charge of adding wine in the house, everyone is waiting outside the door, after all, Gongsun Yuting is rare to come, and Concubine Hui will certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
At this moment, Concubine Hui is holding a wine jug to pour wine for Gongsun Yuting, with an elegant posture, tonight's Concubine Hui has dressed up for Haosheng, wearing a tender yellow tail suit, and the beads on her head are also more plain than usual, but there is a sense of freshness and refinement.
Xu is not strong enough to drink, his body is a little weak, the wine jug in his hand fell on the table, Concubine Hui's whole person was paralyzed, soft as boneless, and fell on Gongsun Yuting, he took advantage of the situation to hold her slender waist, hugged her and sat on his lap, Concubine Hui leaned on Gongsun Yuting's shoulder, her lips opened slightly, and she exhaled Ruolan.
Gongsun Yuting held the drunk Concubine Hui with one hand, still sitting and drinking, the wine glass never left his hand, cup after glass, until the wine in the wine pot was drunk, he did not stop, his eyes swept out of the window, and those palace ladies all went down.
Seems to be a little drunk, Gongsun Yuting's eyes are blurred, he sneered, the hand holding Concubine Hui became restless, his hand roamed around her waist, every inch of skin was kneading in the palm of his hand, Concubine Hui, who was leaning on his shoulder, let out a soft groan, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
