Chapter 268: The Murderer
"Your Majesty! Emperor! Concubine Wan rushed all the way to the emperor's bedroom, her heart was anxious, and the cold wind blew her cheeks painfully, but these are nothing, because in her heart, the most important thing at this moment is to know the emperor's safety, and whether the emperor will believe in herself!
rushed to the emperor's bedroom without stopping, and immediately saw a lot of palace people surrounding the emperor's bed, Wan Concubine rushed over and asked the emperor with concern, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
"Concubine, please get up." When the emperor saw Wan Concubine, his body struggled slightly, but as if he thought of something, he fell down again.
And this scene, the concubines all saw it in their eyes, the light in their eyes couldn't help but dim, and they didn't get up, just telling the grievances in their hearts, "The emperor wants to be the master of the concubines!" The concubine is really not poisoned, when the concubine is boiling, so many small people in the imperial dining room are watching! A concubine would never do that! ”
When Concubine Wan said this, her eyes were wet, and she looked at the emperor like this, holding her chest unconsciously.
After hearing this, the emperor struggled to get up with the help of the eunuch, and then waved at Wan Concubine and motioned for her to get up, Wan Concubine got up when she saw this, and approached the emperor, "Your Majesty ......"
"I naturally believe in my concubine, and I have wronged my concubine!" Thinking of her coma last night, Concubine Wan must have borne the brunt of being suspected, and she must have had a hard time yesterday!
Thinking like this, his heart felt a little distressed, and Wan Concubine just sat beside him and cried in a low voice.
After the two snuggled up to each other for a while, Concubine Wan reacted, and then pushed the emperor away, and asked suspiciously: "Does the emperor know who is behind this plot to kill the emperor and frame the concubine?" ”
That person is so bold, if the emperor is a little mediocre, then I am afraid that his current self is not here, but in the prison!
Thinking of this, she was afraid in her heart for a while, but fortunately, the emperor did not blame herself, which made Concubine Wan feel a lot more at ease.
And after hearing this, the emperor explained to Concubine Wan, "At this time, Lian Yi and Du Heng are investigating, if it is not unexpected, it should not be able to find out in half a day!" ”
When he said this, the emperor's eyes unconsciously became cold, if it weren't for the fact that Lianyi was by his side yesterday, and he took less, and he was treated in time, otherwise he would already be a pile of white bones at this moment!
But these things, the emperor didn't tell Wan Concubine, if he said it, it would only make both of them embarrassed, and the tone was like this, so it was better not to say it!
And here, after passing some investigation, all those who had access to the bowl of medicinal food had been gathered together and were waiting to be interrogated.
"Your Majesty! All the people have been found, and they have been interrogated, but nothing has been found. The old eunuch walked in and respectfully told a few people about the situation.
It's just that as soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help frowning, now there are many people who are in contact with medicinal food, if they just find someone to put on the pot at random, then the real murderer still exists, and if this opportunity is lost, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a next time.
But if it is dragged on like this, the matter of the emperor's murder will not be able to contain the fire in the end, and the people in the court will definitely know about it, and when the time comes, it will be very implicated if the concubine and the people in the imperial dining room are forced to deal with it!
This matter has to be investigated as soon as possible, but so many people are implicated, but they have no clue, and everyone has certification, which makes it a lot more difficult to investigate.
"I have a note! I'm sure I'll be able to find people! Just when the emperor was worried, he heard Du Heng's words, and for a while, everyone's eyes shifted to her.
Seeing her full of confidence, the emperor couldn't help asking, 1, "What can the national teacher do?" ”
Du Heng smiled at everyone, and did not explain to them directly, but instructed the old eunuch on the side, "Trouble my father-in-law to prepare a box of flour, and then tell the people waiting outside, I have a way to find out who among them is the real murderer, as long as it is a person who has been in contact with that poison, there will be a smell on his body!" ”
Seeing that their eyes fell on him, Du Heng immediately stopped his mouth and said with interest: "Why don't you go and see it together?"
Hearing this, several people glanced at each other, and then followed Du Heng towards the outside, and when they went out, the people guarding outside had their own frightened eyes on their faces, and then knelt down and saluted.
"That's it! Get up! Seeing this, the emperor said something, so he walked towards the seat placed by the eunuch who followed behind him, took the concubine, and the two of them watched Du Heng investigate quietly!
Seeing this, Du Heng signaled to the eunuch beside him, the eunuch understood, and clapped his hands at the people under his hand, and a palace person brought up a box, which was sealed, and he couldn't see what was inside.
"I believe that everyone is innocent, but there will always be one of you who is the murderer, so I don't embarrass everyone, I just need you to put your hands in this box, and then it's okay!"
Seeing that everyone unconsciously leaked a puzzled expression after seeing the box brought by the palace people, Du Heng explained to them, and saw that although they were still puzzled, they had already let down their guard, so they walked to the middle and hugged their hands in front of them. Huaxia Library
God said: "As long as the person who has removed the poison, there will be a smell on the body, and this smell will wander on the body, as long as you touch the things in my box, there will be a reaction, if you have not been exposed to this poison, naturally there will be no reaction, so everyone will not be wronged, naturally, the murderer will not escape!" ”
As soon as these words came out, many people at the scene were overjoyed, although they didn't understand very well, the divine reaction in Du Heng's mouth, but this did not affect their joy at all to be able to clear their own charges.
After speaking, Du Heng asked the palace people to hand the wooden box to them, and everyone here also stretched out their hands to the box according to her instructions.
Soon, everyone took their turns, and Du Heng nodded with satisfaction, "I believe everyone is eager to know the answer!" Then lift up your hands! ”
As Du Heng's words fell, everyone unconsciously raised their hands, and found that there was a white spot on their hands, and they were immediately surprised, and couldn't help but look at the people around them, each other's hands were covered with white marks.
Of course, this is not all of them, and one of them has a clean hand without the slightest trace of white!
Seeing such a scene, that person didn't need Du Heng to point it out, he understood it, and quickly fled, but in front of a master like Lian Yi, even if he wanted to escape, he didn't have this chance!
"Where to run!" Lian Yi grabbed the person from the neck, just like carrying a chicken, and carried the person back, and before Du everyone could say anything, they first heard an exclamation from Wan Concubine, "It's him!" He was the one who gave his concubines away! ”
When she saw this little eunuch, Concubine Wan immediately understood, and stood up from the seat, and she said how could her pet suddenly fall from a high place!
And when he appeared, it was so timely!
It just happened that she was about to go and send medicinal food to the emperor, and now if it wasn't him, she would never believe it!
"Bold minion! Dare to murder the emperor and frame the concubine! Looking at the little eunuch who had been suppressed to the ground, the old eunuch next to the emperor stood up and pointed at him and scolded him loudly!
"Phew! The Dog Emperor doesn't deserve to live in this world! After hearing the old eunuch's words, the little eunuch was not afraid, but cursed the emperor unscrupulously, which made the old eunuch even more angry.
Just as he was about to reprimand him loudly, he was stopped by the emperor raising his hand, and the emperor bent forward and asked the little eunuch, "Why did you want to murder me?" ”
"Say, who is your messenger behind you?" Lianyi pressed his back, forcing him to ask who the main messenger behind him was.
But at this moment, I saw that the man suddenly convulsed, and immediately fell to the ground!
Lian Yi's eyes were panicked, and he quickly squatted down to check the eunuch and found that he was dead!
So he stood up and shook his head at the emperor and the others.
Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his forehead, it's really bad that things are one after another, and there is no time to be better.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but shut their mouths and didn't bother him.
Seeing this, Concubine Wan couldn't help reminding the emperor: "This time it's thanks to the National Teacher and the Lianyi Shizi, if it weren't for them, it would be bad!" ”
Hearing this, the emperor came back to his senses, got up and said to Du Heng and Lian Yi: "Today, the two of you have made such a contribution, I am very happy, reward!" ”
Therefore, Lian Yi and others have successively rescued and escorted the car, so the emperor specially prepared to reward the two of them for meritorious deeds, but at this time, Kan Shanguo suddenly led a delegation to visit, and it happened to collide with the front and back.
Immediately, the emperor felt that the two things had been done together, and this day would soon come.
At the beginning of the banquet, many ministers of the court and the central government came, even the envoy of Kan Shanguo also arrived, Lian Yi and Du Heng were still delayed, but none of the people on the scene dared to be dissatisfied!
After all, Lian Yi and Du Heng are characters who are all over the country, and no one dares to offend easily, and some people joke that they would rather offend the emperor than offend these two people!
It's just that the people of Kan Shanguo who came out to blow it up didn't know that there was such an unfamous rule, so they were secretly speculating in their hearts one by one, why no one came to a vacant seat above this banquet!
