Chapter 253: The Crisis Is Resolved
Tang Shu easily climbed through the window and came to the vanity mirror to rummage around for something, and finally, his eyes locked on a delicate box pressed by the makeup dowry.
Quickly opening the wooden box and making sure that it was what he was looking for, Tang Shu's eyes became cold.
Who is so daring?
Here, Luo Shuangyi followed her father-in-law to the palace of the Queen Mother, the hall was brightly lit, the Queen Mother was sitting with a serious expression, and Luo Yingxue was waiting on the side.
Luo Shuangyi's sleepiness dissipated, and he was about to say hello to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother scolded coldly: "Kneel!" ”
Although Luo Shuangyi was unwilling, she was still a little aggrieved, after all, it was too much for the Queen Mother to punish her before she listened to her explanation.
However, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, so she can only obediently bend down and kneel.
"Luo Shuangyi, you are so bold, dare to poison the princess." The Queen Mother rebuked, and her eyebrows were full of anger.
Luo Shuangyi is neither humble nor arrogant: "Queen Mother, the courtiers are wronged." The courtiers sat up straight, and asked themselves if they had no grievances with the princess, how could they harm her secretly. ”
"You said this nicely, the princess is in a coma, how can the mourning family believe what you say?" The Queen Mother stared at her coldly, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, the red dankou painted on her long, round nails dazzling.
Luo Shuangyi didn't know how the good-looking Xie Yuxuan could be poisoned, and how they were sure that the murderer must be hers.
was silently listening to the Queen Mother's accusations, Luo Shuangyi listened to the Queen Mother say in a deep voice: "The princess is my honored guest, she has an accident, how can we explain to the monarch of the country?" Today, if you are truthfully invited, the mourning family can spare you from dying, if you are obsessed, don't blame the mourning family for punishing you! ”
"Courtier......" Luo Shuangyi said that she wanted to defend herself, after all, she was really wronged. But she also knew a little in her heart that according to the Queen Mother's temperament, she would definitely not be willing to listen to her defense.
As soon as she said a few words, she saw Luo Yingxue walking down from the hall supported by the maidservant, walking very carefully step by step, and when she came to her, Luo Yingxue knelt down and pleaded for her.
"The Queen Mother, the courtier believes that her sister is not such a person, and she asks the Queen Mother to forgive her sister."
The Queen Mother frowned and asked her to help her up: "You are pregnant, don't kneel at every turn." The mourning family has ordered the imperial doctor to check the pulse of the princess, and when the results come out, they will know whether the mourning family has wronged her. ”
She squinted, glanced at Luo Shuangyi dissatisfied, supported her head with one hand, and said her words in a stern voice, and her tone was very affirmative, as if she had determined that the murderer was Luo Shuangyi.
Luo Shuangyi was a little speechless, she didn't even know how the princess was poisoned, and she only listened to the queen mother's blind accusations when she came to the palace.
The Queen Mother asked Luo Shuangyi to kneel and think about it first, she closed her eyes and rested for a while, and after a while, a grandmother came in from outside the hall and brought a imperial doctor.
Luo Shuangyi looked at the imperial doctor who was kneeling beside her and saluting, couldn't hold back her curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "Did you find it?" ”
The imperial doctor turned his head when he heard this, and recognized that it was the eldest lady of the Luo Wangfu, and couldn't help but feel that he had appeared at an inopportune time.
I heard that the bracelet was given by this Miss Luo, if he told the truth in front of her, wouldn't he be hated......
"How's it going?" The Queen Mother opened her eyes when she heard the sound, her phoenix eyes flashed with a fierce color, and her voice was cold and not angry.
Fine sweat broke out on the forehead of the imperial doctor, and he didn't dare to say the result simply.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and the Imperial Doctor hurriedly fell to the ground and replied tremblingly: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the princess is indeed poisoned." ”
"Luo Shuangyi, it's like this, why don't you tell me the way to detoxify? Otherwise, the mourning family will not be able to spare you. The Queen Mother looked at Luo Shuangyi and said angrily.
Luo Shuangyi raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother, relatively calm: "Queen Mother, can you let the courtiers ask the Imperial Doctor a few questions?" ”
The Queen Mother agreed, but dissatisfaction was written on her face. I thought that no matter how many questions she asked, she couldn't change the punishment for poisoning.
"Imperial Doctor, you said that the princess was poisoned, I don't know what kind of poison is in the princess?" Luo Shuangyi asked without hesitation.
The imperial doctor hesitated, and when he met the cold and warning gaze of the Queen Mother, he sweated and hurriedly replied truthfully: "The princess is a kind of Gu poison. The Gu worm hidden in the bracelet got out of the warm jade fragrance and entered the princess's body, which caused the princess to be poisoned and unconscious. ”
"Nuan Yuxiang?" Luo Shuangyi frowned, she is a princess, how can she use such a good balm? If she remembers correctly, this kind of balm is only available in the court!
It's not common in ordinary places.
Luo Yingxue's face changed slightly: "Sister, could it be that you accidentally put the balm that your father rewarded you with into the gift for the princess?" ”
Luo Shuangyi snorted lightly, heard something in Luo Yingxue's words, and said bluntly: "I'm a concubine, how can I use such a precious thing." Queen Mother, you should check the source of the warm jade fragrance in the palace. ”
The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this, and slapped the table on the side, so that the candle flame on the table was extinguished.
"Presumptuous, are you questioning the poison of the people in the palace? According to the mourning family, it is you who shout to catch the thief! ”
Luo Yingxue on the side raised her eyebrows slightly, and seeing that Luo Shuangyi was dying, she couldn't help but caress her stomach happily.
Luo Shuangyi, Luo Shuangyi, you also have today.
"The Queen Mother has no evidence, she must be a courtier, isn't it too decisive." Luo Shuangyi didn't recognize it, and when she saw Luo Yingxue pursing her lips and forcibly holding back her happy appearance, she twitched the corners of her mouth.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, she knew that if she decided the case like this, she would definitely end up with a hasty reputation, so she immediately beckoned her confidant and ordered: "Go to Luo Wangfu quickly, check Luo Shuangyi's room carefully, and bring back the evidence as soon as you find it." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Luo Shuangyi knelt on the ground, the door of the main hall was just hidden, and the wind poured in from the outside, blowing cold down her spine, biting her trembling mouth, she thought: I didn't do it, how can I find evidence?
Thinking about it again, Luo Shuangyi thought, the bracelet was indeed prepared by her Xiaoque, if there were really Gu worms, could it be that someone had done it?
Recalling the events of last night, she suddenly remembered that when she told Xiaoque to go to the treasury to pick out some gifts yesterday, she was sleepy, so she went back to sleep in the room first, and the last one left in the house was only a maid named Xiaoyue.
She vividly remembered that last night......
In the brightly lit room, there are several gifts on the table, among which is the ancient bracelet carved with moire.
Luo Shuangyi felt that Xie Yuxuan had sent too many things, and if she only sent a few things back, it would seem to take advantage, so she told Xiaoque to go to the warehouse to choose some jewelry.
Xiao Que answered, reminded Xiao Yue to count the gifts on the table, and then left the room. Only Luo Shuangyi and Xiaoyue were left in the house.
Luo Shuangyi yawned, seeing that it was too late, he said to Xiao Yue: "Xiao Que doesn't know when he will come back, if you can't stay up, you can lie on the table and rest for a while." ”
After explaining, she lifted the curtain and climbed into bed and soon fell asleep.
Extracted from his memory, Luo Shuangyi frowned, could it be this Xiaoyue's hands and feet?
Thinking that Xiao Yue had only come to the palace not long ago, and it was indeed possible to be bribed to do such a thing, Luo Shuangyi's eyes lit up.
It seems highly likely that this Satsuki is an important clue.
"Queen Mother, the courtiers think of a suspicious person."
The Queen Mother had an expression of "I want to see how you exonerate yourself", and her eyebrows raised slightly: "Who is it?" ”
"It's a maid who just came to Luowangfu, and the courtiers want to confront her face to face, maybe the courtiers will be able to clear their grievances at that time." Luo Shuangyi explained.
"Hehe, you're not looking for a scapegoat, are you?" The Queen Mother sneered, but still agreed to Luo Shuangyi's request.
"The Queen Mother misunderstood." Luo Shuangyi replied, although she knew that with the Queen Mother's attitude towards her, no matter what she said, she couldn't believe herself, but she still explained a little about last night.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother really didn't care: "The mouth grows on you, what you say." If the mourning family says a few more words, you only think that the mourning family is prejudiced against you, and now the mourning family does not speak, let's wait for the result quietly. ”
With that, she raised her hand and ordered the supper to be brought in.
The steaming jade rotten pork soup is delicious in the deeper and heavier nights.
Luo Shuangyi smelled the fragrance, pursed her lips, and reminded: "Niangniang, eating jade rotten meat soup at night does not help digestion. ”
Anyway, she also followed the knowledge of pharmacology with theology.
The Queen Mother's face changed slightly when she heard this, put down the jade rotten meat soup, and looked at the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor was so frightened that his body was shocked, everyone in the palace knew the queen mother's gluttonous habits, if she was not allowed to eat, she would be uncomfortable, she was uncomfortable, and they were also uncomfortable, so they could only tell lies according to the queen mother's intentions, and they tacitly let her go.
Now it is pointed out by this Miss Luo......
I don't know what to do for a while.
lowered his head and buried himself in the ground, and his voice was a little lower: "Back to the Queen Mother, eating less will help you eliminate food." ”
"Yes, Xue'er also often eats jade rotten meat soup, and she sleeps very well at night after eating, which shows that this soup is indeed consumed." Luo Yingxue said to the Queen Mother with a smile.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, picked up the rotten meat soup and ate a few spoonfuls.
Luo Shuangyi can see that she is deceiving herself, blaming her for being too talkative.
Luo Shuangyi knelt on the ground and waited, no longer looking at the people in the hall, staring at the lines on the floor of the hall, stretching out his hand to carve it carefully.
What a long wait.
The night was boundless, and I don't know how long it took, Luo Shuangyi finally waited for the people in the palace to bring Xiaoyue back.
As soon as Xiao Yue entered the hall, she knelt on the ground, not even daring to look at Luo Shuangyi's eyes. The father-in-law brought the balm back from the Luo Palace.
Luo Shuangyi knelt with weak legs, and patted his legs while the people in the hall were not paying attention. Turning her head to look at Xiao Yue, seeing that she deliberately avoided herself, she strengthened the guess in her heart, and felt that it seemed that it was eight or nine to ten.
The Queen Mother asked: "Have you brought everything back?" ”
"If you go back to the Queen Mother, everything is here." The father-in-law replied with a thin voice.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and ordered someone to take the balm to the imperial doctor for examination.
The Imperial Physician nodded and took a box of balm from his father-in-law's hand.
"Take a good look at which of these balms is poisonous."
