Chapter 72: Whose Abacus Will Fail (10)
The Queen Mother looked at the two palace maids kneeling aside, they both hung their heads, the Queen Mother looked at it again and again, and still felt very angry, she thought, this is probably the "ghost for the dead" temporarily prepared by Xia Rui.
It turned out that Xia Rui had a second trick today.
Oh, when it comes to scheming, Xia Rui Ke is much more powerful than his mother Concubine Rou, and he has prepared two sets of plans to deal with this matter in such a short time.
She withdrew her gaze, took the handkerchief and nodded her red lips, and said with a solemn face:
"The emperor wants to tell the mourning family that today, the first people to talk about those gossips in the harem are the two palace maids in front of them!"
"The Queen Mother's Wisdom!" Xia Rui praised nonchalantly, "It's these two palace maids!" ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she let out a terrible laugh again:
"Hehehehe...... This rumor has only been spread in the harem for a while, and the emperor has already grasped the source of the rumor, and this speed is simply amazing to the mourners! ”
When Xia Rui heard this, he deliberately pretended not to hear the irony in the Queen Mother's words, and immediately answered:
"Thank you for the compliment, after all, the matter involves King De, and I have to be more concerned, so as soon as I got the news, I immediately ordered my subordinates to investigate strictly, and be sure to catch all the people who made trouble, and not let go of any of them!"
After hearing his words, the Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes widened.
Remember the URL mom
This time, the Queen Mother couldn't laugh anyway.
She grimaced and didn't speak.
Here, Xia Rui was very satisfied with the Queen Mother's reaction, and he continued:
"Queen Mother, you also said just now, such a big thing, a subordinate of the Dewang Mansion will definitely not be able to do it, behind that minion, there must be someone instigating, now, since we have caught the source of this harem rumor, let's interrogate who is behind these three palace people!"
Things have developed to this point, although the Queen Mother is very unwilling, but she also has to give in.
She handed a color to the red clothes behind her, signaling her to find an opportunity to sneak out to move the rescuers, the red clothes understood, nodded, and then, she said to Xia Rui "righteously and awe-inspiringly":
"Since it is to be tried, it will definitely take some time, the mourning family is old, this body is bones, but I can't stand it and sit down, Hongyi, you go and pour some tea for the mourning family!"
The red clothes immediately bent down and blessed: "Yes......"
After speaking, she successfully left the prison of Dali Temple.
Xia Rui saw everything, but he didn't stop it, and this game, he seemed to be completely in the chest.
On the other side, the Queen Mother turned her head to look at the three palace people kneeling on the ground, and said in a loud voice:
"It's time to start the trial......"
When Xia Rui heard this, he withdrew his gaze at the red clothes, gave Zhao Xun a look, and motioned for him to try it, Zhao Xun understood, and immediately set up the torture equipment, and said to the two palace maids kneeling below:
"The palace maids Wu and Liu who are kneeling in the hall, this official asks you, who is the person who instructed you to spread rumors slandering the Middle Palace in the harem?"
The two palace maids kneeling at the bottom glanced at each other and did not answer.
Seeing this, Zhao Xun frowned, he raised his voice and said again:
"The emperor and the queen mother are here, do you two dare to make a mistake? Do you think that the punishments of this Dali Temple are all jokes?! Come on, give the official a cane punishment, and beat the two of them until they tell the truth! ”
As soon as these words came out, the palace maid kneeling at the bottom finally reacted.
Wu, who was kneeling on the left, said with a panicked expression:
"Adults and slow, slaves and maids move, slaves and maids recruit, slaves and maids recruit everything, beg adults, emperors, and queen mothers to spare their lives......"
"Don't be verbose!" Zhao Xun urged a little impatiently, "Come on, who are you instructed by?" ”
Wu replied, "Yes...... It's Song Concubine...... It was the little master of Concubine Song who instructed the slave to do this......"
As soon as her words fell, the palace maid Liu, who was kneeling beside her, also said, "Yes, yes...... It's the little master of Song Concubine...... Those words were all made up in advance by the little master of Song Concubine, and early this morning, I asked the slaves and maids to go out for a walk in the palace......
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face couldn't help but change again and again, she tried her best to restrain her surging hatred, stretched out her hand and pointed to the two palace maids kneeling below, and said sharply:
"You two have to think clearly that you are talking, and telling lies in front of the emperor is a sin of losing your head! Even if the two of you don't hesitate to take your own lives, this matter involves the middle palace and King De, the two of you are making waves in the harem so much, and you don't honestly confess if you are caught, aren't you afraid of affecting your relatives?! ”
Oh, moving out of the relatives to threaten these two slaves, it seems that the queen mother is really in a hurry.
And the queen mother's anxiety just confirmed Yun Xiao's words in the morning, Concubine Song was indeed a chess piece secretly buried in the harem by the Gao family.
Therefore, Xia Rui was still as calm as a mountain and never said a word.
For the Queen Mother, the current situation has been so bad that it is almost a burning eyebrow.
She did a lot of calculations, and she didn't expect that Xia Rui would move so fast today, or rather, she didn't expect that there was an accident in the Dewang Mansion last night, and this morning, Xia Rui had already guessed the approximate situation, and also made two countermeasures, otherwise, she would not be in such a hurry as now.
On the other hand, in the face of the threat of the Queen Mother, the Wu family and the Liu family still insisted that everything was instructed by Song Concubine behind their backs, and they refused to change their confessions no matter what.
At this moment, Xia Rui raised his hand and stopped: "Queen Mother, why do you have to use punishment? Yu Ze's mansion has just had an accident, and the palace will be punished, I'm afraid it's not appropriate! ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes were full of cold hatred, she looked directly at Xia Rui, and said coldly:
"Now, the slaves and maids in this palace are all very cunning, if they don't use some extraordinary means, they will bite at will, and the mourning family doesn't want it, the emperor is blinded by people with ulterior motives!"
"Queen Mother, you're too worried!" Xia Rui stretched his tone and accompanied the Queen Mother to play Tai Chi unhurriedly, "If the queen mother doesn't believe the slaves in the palace, this slave is a person from Yuze Mansion, not a person in the palace, let's listen to his words first!" ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for the Queen Mother to respond, and asked directly,
"Your name is Xiao Liuzi, right?"
The kneeling slave replied, "Yes, the slave is Xiao Liuzi!" ”
"Little Liuzi, I ask you, who instructed you to poison Jiang Liangdi's medicine?"
Xiao Liuzi replied: "It's Concubine Song!" ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately reprimanded angrily: "What nonsense! Concubine Song and Jiang Liangdi have no grievances and no enmity, why do you want to instruct you to poison Jiang Liangdi, you are so indiscriminate, you are simply blind, are you not afraid that God will thunder and split your family's ancestral grave? ! ”
Gee...... Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart, such a curse, the Queen Mother actually opened her mouth to come, which can be regarded as opening Xia Rui's eyes.
However, her posture can't frighten Xiao Liuzi.
Xiao Liuzi looked up at the Queen Mother and said hurriedly: "Although Concubine Song and Jiang Liangdi have no grudges, she has a grudge against King De!" Concubine Song can't hurt King De, so she can easily do it with his unborn child! ”
This matter, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, and the Queen Mother can't believe her ears when she hears this.
