Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Man Who Poisoned the Poisoner
As soon as he said this, the emperor's face became embarrassed, he originally thought that Anyang was just domineering, but now it seems that she has no head at all!
The Queen Mother hurriedly played a round:
"Sheng family girl, didn't you say that before the banquet started, you could see the clues? Tell you about it, and quickly catch the person who murdered the little princess, so that the Xijon mission can rest assured! β
Sheng Zi'an didn't pull Princess Anyang and said that His Royal Highness the Prince could not have a sacred heart, anyway, when Princess Anyang spoke, so many people heard it, and the emperor asked a little, and he knew it, and he said more, which made the emperor suspicious.
So Sheng Zi'an followed the words of the Queen Mother and nodded: "The maid of the little princess Wen Dona is a woman who can only understand Xirong's dialect, and she can't speak a word in the Central Plains. β
"But before today's banquet, the little princess and the courtiers said that this princess's mansion is holding a banquet this time, using the royal osmanthus wine, which has a unique aroma, so I must taste it well."
"Is there anything wrong with that?" The Queen Mother asked.
"There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, but the courtier asked casually, but it showed clues."
"The courtier asked Princess Windona, who told you this? You know so much about the wine that Her Royal Highness is feasting on? β
"The little princess replied to the courtier, it was by her side, this maid named Yida, specially told her!"
"So that's the problem, Yida can't understand and can't speak the Central Plains, how did she know the origin of this osmanthus wine?"
Sheng Zi'an turned his head to look at the rest of the Xirong Mission: "May I ask which of you is talking to Yida?" β
The people of the mission shook their heads, originally the banquet invited the ladies in the capital, but a few days ago, the little princess went out alone, almost had an accident, the maids in the mission, can not speak the original dialect, so the princess ordered to entertain them outside, a separate table, waiting for the little princess to come out.
So before the banquet, they didn't say a word to the maid named Yida at all.
Hearing Sheng Zi'an's explanation, everyone's eyes fell on the maid named Yida, who panicked, didn't know what was going on, kept her head down, and muttered some Xirong words in her mouth.
The rest of the Xijon mission came over one after another, surrounded Yida in the middle, and asked Yida in Xijon how she knew about the osmanthus wine, but the maid knelt on the ground and said something in her mouth, and the Xijon mission had an angry look on her face.
"She said that she heard people say it before, who she listened to, she doesn't remember, today when she saw the princess happy, she talked to the princess, she didn't know anything!"
"Don't know anything?" Sheng Zi'an repeated, walked to the emperor's side, and asked, "Your Majesty, can you allow the courtiers to ask this maid a few questions?" β
The emperor nodded: "If you want to ask anything, just ask." β
Sheng Zi'an walked up to the maid, and the maid glanced at Sheng Zi'an with fear in her eyes.
Sheng Zi'an nodded towards the people of the mission: "I'm still bothering you, help the courtiers translate." β
"This is nature, Miss Sheng please!"
Since those Xirong people knew that Sheng Zi'an had saved their princess's life, they were extremely respectful to Sheng Zi'an.
"You said you saw me poisoning the little princess's cup?" Sheng Zi'an asked her.
The maid said something in her mouth, and when she was excited, she desperately pointed at Sheng Zi'an, and the expression on her face was both excited and angry, as if she was a female beast, and she couldn't see the original beauty at all.
Xirong's envoy looked at Sheng Zi'an with some embarrassment: "She said...."
"It's okay, what she said, just translate it directly, let everyone listen to it!" Sheng Zi'an was calm and relaxed.
She said that she clearly saw that you put the poison in the little princess's quilt, and what she saw with her own eyes was that you wanted to plot against the little princess, and she didn't know what kind of witchcraft you, the witch, used. That's what it is now! β
The face of the Xijon mission is not very good-looking, the witch is very embarrassed in Xirong, and in Xijon, the witch who is caught will be executed.
Sheng Zi'an didn't know, but smiled: "You are a maid who serves the princess, why do you reverse black and white?" I was about to say that I saw you poisoned the cup of the little princess! β
After Sheng Zi'an finished speaking, when Xirong's mission translated back, the maid's face turned pale and pale, like a female ghost.
She was still quibbling: "What evidence do you have that I poisoned the cup of Her Royal Highness the Princess?" β
"You can say that I poisoned you with one mouth, so why can't I say you?" Sheng Zi'an retorted calmly: "However, I do have evidence. β
When the emperor heard that Sheng Zi'an had evidence, he couldn't help frowning, he hoped that this matter had nothing to do with the Central Plains, if this matter was implicated in the Central Plains, Xirong might not be so subservient to the Central Plains, but this kind of thing, in the end, I have to give an explanation.
"Oh, then you can talk about it!" The emperor instructed Sheng Zi'an.
"Yes, the courtiers will do their best."
"Actually, this evidence is very simple, this maid called Yida, I'm afraid I only have a one-sided understanding of the etiquette of the Central Plains, but my respect for Xirong in the Central Plains is far more than that."
"His Royal Highness the Prince told his courtiers a few days ago that in order to welcome Xirong's mission, the emperor even re-fired a batch of porcelain cups and saucers in the palace in advance."
"Xijon is honored by blue, so these newly fired porcelains look no different from the others, but every time they are used for the Xijon mission, they are the subtle patterns below, and they are changed to a blue batch."
"Although it doesn't look very eye-catching, this is also a reflection of the Central Plains' respect for Xirong....." Sheng Zi'an picked up a bowl from the little princess's table and raised it to show everyone.
Sure enough, the pattern below, very subtle forehead position, is blue, everyone sitting on the table has picked up their own table, compared to it, sure enough, other people's use, the pattern is red.
Xirong's envoy stood in front of the emperor and said to the emperor with great emotion: "Thank you for the emperor's intentions, if the princess hadn't said it today, we wouldn't have known... What a shame. β
The emperor waved his hand: "Xirong is friendly with the Central Plains, these are all things that should be done." β
Sheng Zi'an continued: "Since you have to say that you saw me poisoning the little princess's cup, and no one touched the little princess's cup just now, then this should be the tranquilizer detected in the little princess's cup." β
Sheng Zi'an picked up the cup on the little princess's table, picked it up and showed it to everyone, it was a red pattern!
The Queen Mother frowned: "What's going on?" β
Sheng Zi'an explained: "Let's take a look at my cup again. She picked up her cup, and it turned out to be blue.
"The cup used by the little princess is actually my cup, and my cup is the cup of the little princess, I took advantage of the maid to turn around to give the little princess a dish, and changed my own cup to the little princess's table."
"I saw the maid poison the little princess's cup, and then I drugged my own cup, and then exchanged it."
"Even if this maid really saw me poisoning my cup, she should have seen me poisoning my own cup, how could she see me poisoning the little princess's cup? There is only one truth, and that is, you are lying! β
After Sheng Zi'an finished speaking, he motioned to Xirong's people to tell the maid what they said.
After hearing this, the maid looked at the cup in Sheng Zi'an's hand with a disbelieving face, pounced on it, looked at it carefully several times, and a look of despair appeared on her face.
Sheng Zi'an continued: "You should be very strange now, where are those poisons you ordered now, right? β
Picking up the cup from his table, Sheng Zi'an reached out and picked up the wine jug, filled it with wine, and brought it to the maid: "Do you want to taste it?" This royal osmanthus wine, you may drink it once in your life! β
The maid looked at the cup that was approaching her, and how could she not understand that this cup contained her own poison?
It turned out that the woman had not drunk it at all, and the maid's eyes were full of fear, she knew that the poison was so powerful that she would surely die if she ate it! They said, they said, there is no antidote to this poison, and if you drink it, you will surely die.
Her gaze subconsciously looked towards a placeβ
That is exactly the direction of Princess Anyang.
Sheng Zi'an followed her line of sight, and Princess Anyang panicked: "You!" What do you watch Hongu do! This palace has nothing to do with this matter! β
The county lord of Guide on the side was also startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
The maid couldn't understand the Central Plains dialect, she just looked in that direction stupidly, and the emperor's face changed, does this matter have to involve Anyang?
Sheng Zi'an smiled, put down the cup in his hand, and said to Princess Anyang, "Come out?" Dare to act. Like a man, do you want to watch a woman who can't understand the original language to apologize for you? β
Everyone looked over there, and they saw a man dressed as a small servant, taking a step forward, with a very cold and hard expression on his face, and the maid of Xijon wanted to crawl towards him when she said something.
The people in the Xijon mission stepped on their backs with one foot, and they couldn't move a bit.
The emperor's face was ugly, and with a wave of his hand, the guards on one side rushed forward and pressed the little guy to the ground, and the little guy let out a heart-rending laugh: "This plan has actually been discovered!" I was actually recognized! β
"Say! Why the hell did you murder the princess of Sijon! Say! The emperor scolded sharply!
"You ask her!" The little guy turned his head and pointed at Princess Anyang.....
