Chapter Seventy-Seven: Proving Innocence
As soon as they heard what Sheng Zi'an said, the imperial doctor, before they could open their mouths, they were rejected by Princess Anyang, and they began to be a little suspicious in their hearts.
"Your Royal Highness! No matter what grievances you have with this Sheng family girl, the most important thing now is the life of our princess, and I ask Her Royal Highness the princess to call the imperial doctor to treat our princess. ”
"Don't be impatient, since this little princess has taken poison, there must be evidence in this house that this Sheng family girl poisoned the little princess!"
Now she is in such a hurry, she just wants to delay time, or find a way to send the incriminating evidence out, who knows, are there any ghosts planted by the Sheng family girl among these guards? It's better for us to wait for the Sheng family girl to confess, and then open the door and let the people outside in, so that we can also explain to the little princess. ”
Xirong's envoy looked at Sheng Zi'an and those guards, a little hesitant.
Those guards were completely unhappy at this time, Princess Anyang promised them a lot of benefits, so they were willing to come on such a special trip, and now they actually opened their mouths and slandered them for colluding with the girl of the Sheng family, do you want to put a charge on them for murdering the little princess of Xirong?
The leading guard stood up and hugged his fist at Princess Anyang: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the brothers are loyal to their duties and guard the safety of the capital, and they have never had any other thoughts, please let Her Royal Highness the princess know your name!" ”
"Yes, Your Royal Highness Princess, our little princess is our king's favorite child, if the imperial doctor of the Central Plains can cure the little princess, we Xirong are grateful!"
Princess Anyang was irritable in her heart, what kind of doctor are she looking for, the little princess is already dead and can't die anymore!
The poison he used was very powerful, and if he drank it, he could die in an instant, there was no pain, but it was cheaper for the sharp-toothed little princess, Princess Anyang felt that the little princess should be made to have sores on her mouth and tongue, and finally die of pain!
Xirong's envoy also got angry when they saw that Princess Anyang didn't agree, they represented a country in Xirong, but this princess of the Central Plains made them ugly again and again, just didn't put Xirong in their eyes!
"Brother guard, please go out and invite the imperial doctor to report this matter to the queen mother and the emperor, and I will bear all the responsibility, don't worry, big brother guards." Sheng Zi'an's voice was very gentle, but it was convincing.
The leading guard looked at Sheng Zi'an, then at the panicked crowd in the room, and then at the domineering Princess Anyang and the lord of Guide, and finally nodded solemnly.
Sheng Zi'an turned to look at the Xirong envoy who was standing beside the little princess and said:
"I am in love with the little princess, and after getting along these days, I am like sisters, how can I murder the little princess? There must be something unspeakable about this! ”
"I'm still proficient in medical skills, looking at the little princess's face, it doesn't look like she is dead, or invite the imperial doctor to take a good look, if you save the little princess's life, you are all the little princess's life-saving benefactors!"
Seeing that Xirong's envoy was moved by Sheng Zi'an's words, Princess Anyang on the side was anxious in her heart, and couldn't help but say sarcastically:
"Are you responsible? What are you responsible for? Your Highness? Don't you know whether His Royal Highness is favored or not? Do you have to burden Your Royal Highness the prince of the world to go to Huangquan together? ”
Princess Anyang didn't choose what to say, and after finishing speaking, she found that the ladies and ladies below were all looking at her with surprised eyes.....
As long as the emperor shows that he loves His Royal Highness the Prince, then everyone must feel that His Royal Highness the Prince is favored, for so many years, this impression is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the capital, and everyone feels that the emperor loves His Royal Highness the Prince, even more than several of his own princes.
If Princess Anyang's words were spread today, it would be a slap in the emperor's face, and Princess Anyang herself would not be able to leave the capital smoothly.
Princess Anyang closed her mouth violently, and when she saw the girl of the Sheng family, there was a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at herself coldly, as if she was waiting for her to say the wrong thing. It's as if everything is under control.
"Princess Anyang, what do you mean by this? The courtiers are doing right, and naturally they are not afraid of testing, so how can they implicate His Royal Highness? ”
"Time doesn't wait for anyone, let's go to the imperial doctor first, big brother guard, please...."
Sheng Zi'an looked at Princess Anyang's frightened appearance, stretched out his hand to ask the eldest brother of the guards to go out, and the guards saw that the situation was completely dominated by Sheng Zi'an, and they also nodded, obeyed Sheng Zi'an's order, and went out from the gate.
When they wanted to leave, the little servants in the princess's mansion naturally couldn't stop them, so they could only watch the guards walk in a hurry, and the soldiers were divided into several ways.
When the emperor and the queen mother heard this in the palace, they were shocked!
Xirong has been surrendering to the Central Plains for so many years, and this time he reached an agreement with Qinda, and now that such a thing has happened, it is still the favorite little daughter of King Xirong who has died, isn't it a harbinger of chaos on the border!
"Yes, yes, hurry up and ask the doctor to come over!" The emperor put down the fold in his hand and asked the eunuch to change his clothes, and the queen mother couldn't sit still, pacing in her palace for a long time, and finally changed her clothes and went out of the palace with the emperor.
This thing is too strange, or in the princess's mansion, the queen mother always has a bad premonition in her heart.
By the time the emperor and the queen mother arrived, Princess Anyang had already let the little servants in her mansion surround Sheng Zi'an, and wanted to tie up Sheng Zi'an.
Aoyagi stood to the side with his bare hands, staring at those little guys, not letting them get close to Sheng Zi'an.
"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! There was a sound of notification outside, Sheng Zi'an was completely relieved, he was also at the end of the crossbow, and when he couldn't hold on, the queen mother and the emperor could be regarded as coming.
As soon as the emperor entered the door, he waved his hand to flatten the Xirong mission, and the leader of the Xirong mission stood up and gave the emperor a Xirong courtesy, and his tone was a little stiff: "Respected Emperor Your Majesty...."
"Our little princess of Xirong was poisoned here, and now her life and death are unknown, please ask the emperor to give us an explanation for Xirong!"
"This is natural, I must catch the person who really poisoned me and give Xirong an explanation!" The emperor happily agreed.
Princess Anyang's face was happy. As soon as the emperor's words were finished, she stood up: "Brother Huang, it was made by that girl of the Sheng family!" That's her! The maid beside the little princess saw with her own eyes that she had put poison into the little princess's cup! ”
Princess Anyang is determined to get the look, the emperor looked at his brainless sister, if she now admits that she is from the Central Plains and kills the little princess of Xirong, no matter who did it, the relationship between Xirong and the Central Plains will not be reconciled, she is shouting so loudly now, is she afraid that others will not hear it?
Princess Anyang can't care so much, she only thinks about how to get rid of Sheng Zi'an now, as for the relationship between the Central Plains and Xirong, Princess Anyang feels that even if it is almost there, it doesn't matter, at least her daughter has the opportunity not to go to Xirong and kiss.
Anyway, Xirong is a wild place, and there is no way to compare it with the Central Plains, so what is there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Princess Anyang had no worries, and raised her chin directly towards Sheng Zi'an: "Aren't you the emperor and the queen mother not coming, don't you say anything?" Now that the emperor is also here, and the queen mother is also here, you should quickly confess your guilt, it is better than waiting for the interrogation. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Sheng Zi'an very viciously.
The emperor's eyes also fell on Sheng Zi'an's body, he hadn't paid too much attention to Sheng Zi'an, anyway, it was meant to be Xiao Jue's concubine, who was destined to be unable to turn over the storm, but listening to his mother, she was a little clever woman.
Feeling that the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager fell on him, Sheng Zi'an was still calm, as if he hadn't heard Princess Anyang's provocation.
"Your Royal Highness the princess, the courtiers said that they wanted to see the emperor and the queen mother, not to admit their own crimes, but to clear themselves of suspicion, Your Royal Highness the princess, you don't listen to the courtiers, you directly said that the courtiers poisoned the little princess of Xirong, the courtiers have no choice, so they can only implore the emperor and the queen mother, listen to the courtiers' differences....."
The emperor now can't wait for Sheng Zi'an to clear his suspicions, so he waved his hand: "You say, I listen..."
Sheng Zi'an smiled slightly: "The courtiers can not only prove their innocence, but also find out for the emperor and Xirong, who is not good for the little princess!" ”
When the emperor heard this, he became interested and said, "Hurry up, Sheng girl, don't sell it!" ”
Sheng Zi'an smiled: "Actually, the little princess didn't have any powerful poison, she just drank a large dose of calming medicine." ”
Sheng Zi'an said as he changed and took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and showed it to everyone: "Because of the medicine on the little princess, it is indeed the ..... of the courtiers?"
"Impossible!" The county lord of Guide, who was sitting next to Princess Anyang, suddenly stood up and shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
"What can't be? Do you know something? ”
The Queen Mother asked.
The county lord of Guide was pulled by Princess Anyang, and then he reacted, and whispered: "I see that Wen Dona's face is already so ugly, how can it be that she just used a calming medicine, so I was shocked." ”
"Sheng girl, you go on." The emperor retracted his gaze and continued to look at Sheng Zi'an.
"The courtiers also have no choice, this soothing medicine was originally to wait for the banquet to be over, and then enter the palace to give it to the queen mother....."
The Queen Mother also nodded: "The mourning family told this girl to let her send some calming medicines to the mourning family, the medicine she sent is better than the medicine sent by the hospital!" ”
Aunt Liu, who was supporting the Queen Mother, also nodded.
