Chapter Fifty-Nine: Death Without Proof
Chapter 59 There is no proof of death
After a short period of silence, it was the voice of Emperor Zhaoning's angry shooting, accompanied by his sharp words of presumptuousness, floating in the Jiying Palace, and it could not be dispersed for a long time.
The Son of Heaven was angry, and everyone was shocked, and they knelt down and read the emperor's anger.
This eldest princess is the meat of today's heart, and who doesn't know?
For a while, I sighed in my heart that it was better to simply not come to the palace banquet today, than to encounter such a bad thing and involve it.
Under the instruction of Emperor Zhaoning, Imperial Doctor Hu was terrified and investigated every drink and food in Zhao Ying's case, and only then did he determine that only the pot of thyme incense had been poisoned.
But Emperor Zhaoning had seen Zhao Wan's tragic situation, and how fast the poison attacked, and he was more frightened than angry.
The person who poisoned the hand was rushing to take the poison from Zhao Ying's life, Zhao Yingping was a greedy person-
Emperor Zhaoning gritted his teeth, his face was terrifying: "I want to know how this filthy thing got into Yuan Yuan's wine." ”
No one noticed that Liu Shuyi's shoulders were shaking slightly.
Empress Feng sat steadily, folded her hands on her knees, heard this, took a deep breath, and then got up slowly, and slowly knelt down on one side: "I will investigate this matter carefully, and I will definitely not hurt anyone......"
"Won't?" Emperor Zhaoning glanced at her indifferently, and had no intention of helping her up.
Zhao Ying knelt with everyone, and Emperor Zhaoning looked dazzling, but it was not appropriate to just ask her to get up, so after asking Empress Feng a rhetorical question, he waved his hand to ask His Highness to get up.
Liu Shuyi's legs were weak, and she shook when she got up.
Zhao Che stood beside her, quietly handed over a hand, held it under her palm, and gave her strength.
This little action did not escape Zhao Ying's eyes.
She pursed her lips, paced out half a step, and knelt down next to her desk: "I had a couple of words with Wanwan before the banquet, and I held my breath in my heart, and I was not interested in eating wine, and the three emperor sisters were serving milk tea, so I only ate hers, otherwise, ......"
She couldn't go on, with a faint choked voice in her voice, and the fourteen-year-old girl struggled to support a piece of tenacity, and bowed her head and bowed: "Erchen asked himself if he had never been embarrassed by others, although he was arrogant, he was never an unreasonable person, and he didn't know who he had offended, and he wanted such a poison to take the life of his son." ”
Emperor Zhaoning was distressed, and he couldn't go down to the palace to help her, so he glanced at Zhao Shu, who was closest to her: "Shu'er, help your imperial sister up." ”
Zhao Shuren was small and bold, plus she knew about it before, and she had already expected Emperor Zhaoning's anger, this time she listened to Emperor Zhaoning's instructions, lowered her little head and responded, afraid that people would see the indifference on her face, so she hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhao Ying get up.
When Zhao Ying stood up, Emperor Zhaoning remembered what Empress Feng had said before, and when he saw Empress Feng still kneeling there, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he handed out a hand: "You just said that the singing, dancing and eating at the palace banquet are all handled by the Liu family?" ”
Empress Feng got up with his hand and snorted when she heard the words.
Liu Shuyi pinched Zhao Che's hand and suddenly tightened, if Zhao Che hadn't been able to hold it, she was afraid that she would have to exhale in pain.
When Emperor Zhaoning's cold eyes came, where could she still stand, she knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed several times in a row: "The emperor is clear, you are giving the concubine ten dares, and the concubine will not dare to do such a thing."
You trust the concubine, value the concubine, and ask the concubine to cooperate with the queen to run the palace banquet, how dare the concubine face the Yuan at the palace banquet...... Celestia poisoned her.
How poisonous it is, you can see it with your own eyes, your majesty, if the eldest princess has a good one during the banquet, the concubine will be covered with mouths and can't tell it! ”
She hurriedly defended herself, and kept kowtowing.
But Emperor Zhaoning didn't even want to give her extra eyes, when she secretly raised her eyes to look, her heart was tight, helpless and panicked: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been driving for many years, and she knows the emperor's mind best, the eldest princess is the pearl of the emperor's palm, the treasure in her heart, how can the concubine hurt her."
Could it be that the concubine has served you for so many years, and in your heart, she is such a femme fatale? The concubine is innocent, Your Majesty. ”
Emperor Zhaoning was unmoved, and the tips of his left fingers were sliced, not knowing what he was thinking.
Sun Shuyuan looked sideways, squinted, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly, but suddenly touched Zhao Ying's gaze.
That's a suggestive gaze.
She stopped her voice and stayed quietly beside Emperor Zhaoning, neither pleading nor daring to go down the well.
If she doesn't do it, someone will.
Mrs. Jiang's Huang Li-like voice was full of ridicule at this time: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger."
At the palace banquet tonight, everyone knows that you are the one who ordered the wine and pastries on the cooking table, and if something happens at the moment, you are very easy to get rid of the charge, just like what you said at this time.
Otherwise, the queen should be responsible for everything in the palace banquet, if Yuan Yuan really had an accident in Jiying Palace, the emperor's thunder power, there can be no queen mother in front of you to bear the guilt, you are safe and sound, and you will come out. ”
Emperor Zhaoning's eyes darkened, and he called Sun Fu: "Go and bring the palace people in charge of the wine." ”
Sun Fu folded his hands, hurriedly went down the hall, and went out without delaying for a moment.
Everything in the palace banquet is in charge of special people, who is in charge of the wine, who is only looking at the pastries, even those dancers dance, musicians playing, their dance clothes, the guzheng pipa used, there are also people in charge.
There has always been anything wrong at the banquet, and no one can run away if they are held accountable afterwards.
Sun Fu was quick with his hands and feet, and he came and went in a hurry, but when he came back, his face was a little wrong.
He entered the hall and did not go up to the high platform, but knelt in the hall, and the place where he knelt was not far from Liu Shuyi: "Back to the emperor, the person in charge of the wine at the palace banquet tonight is Yuan Zhu of the Inner Mansion Division, and when the slave took someone to look for her, she had already committed suicide by taking poison." ”
As he spoke, he took out a small pure white porcelain vase from his cuff, held it high above his head in his palm, and said: "This thing was held in the palm of her hand, and the servant brought it back." ”
Emperor Zhaoning called Imperial Doctor Hu, he understood, stepped forward to take the small porcelain bottle, opened the bottle to check the contents, and after a while, the bottle mouth was tightly fastened: "Back to the emperor, this is the poison in the second princess." ”
There is no need to ask, such a dirty thing can only be brought into the palace from outside the palace.
But now that the person is dead, there is no proof of death, and the clue is broken.
Emperor Zhaoning had nowhere to vent his anger, as if someone had punched him in the chest, but the hand was withdrawn quickly, so fast that he didn't have time to catch it.
Such a thing was born at the palace banquet, and the clan relatives were all there, this is a scandal in the inner court!
Emperor Zhaoning was about to open his mouth to give something, and Sun Shuyuan on the side hesitated and called Sun Fu.
He was slightly stunned, frowning and looking sideways.
Sun Shuyuan stabilized her mind, and then asked: "Is the Yuan Zhu you said in your mouth seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round face and a tear mole at the end of the left eye?" ”
