Chapter 423: The prince is not easy to mess with
As soon as these words came out, no one in the temple was shocked.
The emperor was poisoned to death?! What's going on?
Xia's face was already a little pale, and he stared straight at Su Yinyue, almost not breathing.
She couldn't help herself, and shouted loudly: "Princess Ling, you didn't say that someone poisoned the emperor before, but now that the emperor has died, you say such a thing, it can be seen that you have ill intentions and want to disturb the court!" ”
Prime Minister Gu's eyebrows twisted into pimples, he first looked at Xia, and then at Su Yinyue.
In the past two years, how could he not know Su Yinyue's personality, if it wasn't true, she would definitely not take it out and talk about it.
"The queen is slow and slow, the stakes are very high, and it is indeed necessary to find out the cause of the emperor's death first." Prime Minister Gu raised his hand to let everyone calm down.
Xia Shi was surprised, and hurriedly shouted: "Prime Minister! Are you going to indulge her in fooling around?! ”
"The emperor is suddenly seriously ill and there are suspicions, now let's find out first, where is the nonsense!" Prime Minister Gu said.
When the other important ministers saw that Prime Minister Gu Cheng said this, they also agreed.
However, the crown prince Chu Fu also wanted to know the truth, nodded, and said: "The prime minister is right, if someone really plots to kill his father, this prince will not spare him!" ”
is young, but the momentum is not small.
When Xia heard his son say this, he almost fainted.
Su Yinyue then said: "The prince really understands the matter, the emperor suddenly fell ill, the prince and I have doubts in our hearts, and we have already secretly completed this matter, and it just so happens that there is a result today." ”
She glanced back and motioned for Yuan Zhe to bring someone up.
Yuan Zhe shouted and asked Chi Longwei to bring the two cooks from the imperial dining room up.
Xia and Aunt Huo saw the two side dish cooks, and their faces turned pale instantly.
Yuan Zhe waved his hands before pointing to the two cooks and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, ladies and gentlemen, these two are the cooks of the imperial dining room, and they have been working in the emperor's meal for the past two months. ”
"In the meal?" Prime Minister Gu was obviously surprised, "Aren't there eunuchs who test poison every day?" If you do something, you should be discovered. ”
"Because it is done with very secret hands and feet, the eunuch who tries the dishes only eats one bite of each dish, and it is not easy to have problems." Su Yinyue explained, "They use moldy corn and peanuts into vegetables, and over time, it will damage the human body, and when they find it, there is no cure." ”
Prime Minister Gu didn't expect that there would be such a way to harm people.
He glared at the two cooks and said, "Did you really do such a thing?!" ”
The two cooks had never dared to say it before, after all, this was the matter of the Zhujiu clan, but as soon as they entered the Red Dragon Division, they could only spit out the truth, kowtowed and admitted: "Yes...... It was ordered by Aunt Huo beside the queen's mother, and we just did what we were told. ”
Everyone was shocked again and looked at Xia.
What Aunt Huo ordered, isn't it the queen's order, there is no difference.
Xia couldn't help but stumble, her face was pale and colorless, she gasped, staring at the two cooks: "You dare to slander this palace?" Who gave you the benefit?! ”
Aunt Huo also scolded: "That's it! I've never seen you, whose money did you take and talk nonsense here? What evidence do you have for correcting me? ”
What the two of them said was aimed at Su Yinyue.
The two cooks were in a trance, and indeed they had no evidence.
The silver given by Aunt Huo is all cash silver, leaving no handles.
"Oh? According to the queen, do you think I bought people and deliberately framed you? Su Yinyue raised her eyebrows and asked.
Of course, Xia didn't dare to admit it, she just talked about it to divert everyone's attention.
However, Chu Fu firmly believes in the innocence of the Xia family, and the father and queen mother have been married for many years, and the relationship is deep, how could the queen mother murder the father.
This matter must have been deliberately framed by King Ling and his wife!
He wanted to live in peace, but why did King Ling and his wife force each other to do everything? He's not very old, but he's not easy to mess with!
"Princess Ling!" Chu Fu's eyes became fierce, "It was you who deliberately framed the queen mother, the Xia family has been ruined by your husband and wife, and you can't enter the court as an official again, you feel that you are still angry, so you have another plan to put my mother in prison!" ”
Su Yinyue was a little shocked, Chu Fu didn't make a sound on weekdays, but now when he spoke, he was justified and imposing.
Probably because there was no Chu Jifeng to suppress it here, I thought she was a little girl who was easy to bully.
But sometimes the most wrong thing is to underestimate women.
She couldn't help but smile and said, "In addition to these two cooks, I have other witnesses, so why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be in a hurry." ”
Yuan Zhe said: "The ingredients in the imperial dining room must be inspected every day, and if there are moldy corn beans, they will be thrown away on the same day, so there is no way to store moldy ingredients in the imperial dining room." ”
The crowd listened, but they did not know what they meant.
"In other words, the moldy ingredients used by the two cooks were quietly brought in that day." Yuan Zhe said, let the Red Dragon Guard bring one more person.
It was a food delivery eunuch, and it was very convenient to enter and exit the imperial dining room, and it was also convenient to carry a handful of beans on his body.
But this eunuch who passed the food went out of the palace to see his relatives some time ago, and never came back, and others said that he had escaped, so the palace also issued a wanted warrant to arrest him, the runaway eunuch.
But only he knew that it was Aunt Huo who sent someone to kill him, thanks to the appearance of the Red Dragon Guard who saved him, otherwise he would have gone to see King Yama by now.
The eunuch stared at their master and servant, and said, "It was Aunt Huo who asked me to secretly carry a handful of moldy beans into the imperial dining room every day, and she wanted to kill the slave after she finished using the minions!" ”
"Presumptuous! You dog slave dare to slander me! Aunt Huo said angrily.
She rushed up and wanted to kick the eunuch of Chuancai, but was pressed by Chilongwei and couldn't move.
Prime Minister Gu had already understood at this time, he touched his beard, and said: "The cooks in the imperial dining room are all hired from outside, and it is not good to kill people, but once the eunuchs disappear, they can be charged with escaping, and no one cares about the life or death of a eunuch, Aunt Huo, do you think so?" ”
That's right, Aunt Huo first dealt with the eunuchs who passed the dishes, and then wanted to change the two cooks out of the palace, and then executed the two cooks outside the palace.
In this way, what they are doing is unaware.
Who would have thought that King Ling and his wife were silent, and they actually pulled out all the people!
Aunt Huo was speechless, she didn't know how to justify.
Prime Minister Gu simply looked at the Xia clan and asked, "What justification does the queen have?" There are three people who are testifying against Aunt Huo. ”
Xia glanced at Aunt Huo, turned his heart sideways, and said: "This palace doesn't know anything, everything Aunt Huo has done has nothing to do with this palace, and this palace is also kept in the dark!" ”
Aunt Huo knew that her master wanted to abandon her pawn and protect the handsome, so she closed her eyes and planned to admit it herself.
When Xia becomes the queen mother, she will definitely treat her family in Ningzhou well.
