Chapter 214: Rebels are approaching the city
"In other words, Lord Yang was poisoned by inhaling the poison powder I sprinkled, right?"
The palace maid quickly looked up at her before nodding. "Yes."
"Your Majesty, I don't know how the previous autopsy determined that Lord Yang was poisoned to death?" Lin Mumu turned to Emperor Showa and asked.
Emperor Showa glanced at Li Anli, and Li Anli knew that he would let people pass the autopsy to the main hall.
Soon, the work came.
"Tell me about your autopsy results, how did Lord Yang get poisoned and died?"
"It's the emperor, Weichen found that Lord Yang's lips and teeth were black, and a large amount of venom was left in his stomach, so Lord Yang died of poison." Foolishness.
When the palace maid heard this, a flash of panic flashed on her face. "Yes, I said the slave maid wrong just now, Lord Lin used medicinal powder to stun Lord Yang and then poured poison on him, poisoning Lord Yang!"
Emperor Showa's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the palace maid coldly.
"Your Majesty, this palace maid just said that Lord Yang was killed by my medicine powder, and now after listening to the pretending words, she retorted, this person clearly has a problem!"
"No, it's not the emperor, because, because the distance was relatively far away at that time, the slave, the slave and the maid were very scared in their hearts, so they remembered it for a while......"
"It's not impossible that you use medicinal powder to stun Lord Yang first, and then pour poison on him to poison people, and it's not impossible for her to remember it for a while in extreme fear." Emperor Showa looked at Lin Mumu with a gloomy expression.
Lin Mumu knew that Emperor Showa was going to bite her to death for everything today, and he would not let her go easily, but fortunately, she found the real cause of Lord Yang's death!
"Your Majesty, if this person didn't die of poisoning, does that prove that Weichen is innocent?"
"It's all experienced, how can it not be poisoned and die? Lin Mumu, don't quibble! ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen can prove that he did not die of poisoning." Lin Mumu said and turned around and pinched the corpse's mouth open. "The reason why the mouth of the corpse will be blackened is indeed because it is stained with toxin, but this toxin is poured into it after death, as long as the tongue is cut open with a knife, it can be seen that the black toxin only exists on the surface, and the murderer poured into the corpse is an extremely strong toxin, if this toxin enters the living population, it will erode the lips and teeth of the whole person in a very short period of time, so that the lips and tongue will turn into a pool of blood, if the emperor does not believe it, you can find a few mice to try it."
"Besides, if the toxin is in, it is impossible to pass the throat, the emperor can see that this head is flat and cut off, and although the skin and flesh below have been corrupted, there is no trace of being eroded by the toxin." Lin Mumu said, holding the head and walking to Emperor Showa, and raised the part of his neck in front of him.
"Gross!"
Emperor Showa forcibly suppressed the nausea and waved her hand to take her head away.
"Then you say, how did Lord Yang die?"
"It was killed by a master who cut off his head, as we all know, Wechen has no power to restrain the chicken, but he is not able to cut off Lord Yang's head with a knife, that day Weichen entered the palace for the Queen Mother to see a doctor, and then left when the palace maid suddenly took Wechen to a remote place with the intention of doing something to Wechen, after which Wechen escaped, and hid until he met the deputy commander of the horse before he was able to leave the palace, at that time the carriage that went out of the palace and returned to the house was prepared by the deputy commander of the horse for Wechen, dare to ask the emperor, if Weichen used a carriage to transport the body out of the palace, Is the deputy commander of the horse who provided the carriage also an accomplice of Wechen!? ”
When the deputy commander of Ma who was standing in the hall heard this, he hurriedly walked to the hall and knelt down. "Your Majesty, Weichen was wronged, at that time, Weichen saw that Lin Mumu was alone late at night, so he kindly asked people to prepare a carriage for her, why there was a corpse of Lord Yang on the carriage, and Weichen didn't know at all!"
"Your Majesty, this palace maid is clearly lying."
The palace goddess kowtowed again and again in a little panic. "Your Majesty, the slave and maid really don't dare to have half a lie, and ask the emperor to check it clearly, at that time, the slave and maid were really far away at that time, no, I didn't see it clearly......"
"How can you make people believe what you say?"
Emperor Showa had a tense face, there was no extra emotion on his face, just watching Lin Mumu's gaze gradually sink.
Lin Mumu was on the line of life and death in the palace, but an uninvited guest came to the palace.
Mingyang walked into the study and came to Zhao Xuanling's side and whispered a few words.
Zhao Xuanling's dark eyes raised slightly. "Bring people in."
"Yes."
A short time later, a figure covered in a black cloak walked into the study.
Mingyang took the people and retreated.
When the visitor saw that the door of the study was closed, he reached out and took off the hat on his head, revealing his face under the cloak.
"If this king is not mistaken, Princess Crescent Moon should be in the palace at this time." Zhao Xuanling looked at Nangong Allure with an expressionless face, and even the tone of his voice did not fluctuate at all, as if he was not the slightest surprised by the arrival of Nangong Allure.
Nangong Allure looked at Zhao Xuanling and smiled. "Looks like the king knows I'm coming."
"The princess has something to say."
Nangong Chengcheng walked up to Zhao Xuanling, and his body was about to lean over Zhao Xuanling to feel the cold aura emanating from his body.
She paused and honestly found a stool to sit down. "Since the king knows that I will come, he should also know why I have come."
"I don't know."
Nangong Chengcheng didn't want to go around the bend, and said directly and clearly: "Xichu also thinks that compared with Emperor Showa, the royal king is a more suitable candidate for the throne, and now that the royal king is so popular among the people, doesn't the royal king want to ...... If the king is willing, we, Xichu, are willing to help the king. ”
Zhao Xuanling gently pulled the teacup on the table, Nangong Allure's words still did not make him have any mood fluctuations. "So you made the assassination at the banquet, and it made people incite the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to want to disturb the water of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so that the Western Chu could sit and reap the profits, is this abacus too loud?"
For Zhao Xuanling to know the truth of the matter, Nangong Allure was not surprised at all, how could the man she fancied be a general.
"We are also doing this for the king, the king is young and promising, as long as you are willing to ......"
"This king is unwilling, Mingyang, send off guests."
Nangong Allure's face changed, he didn't expect Zhao Xuanling to refuse so simply!
"I don't believe that the prince has never had such ambitions!"
Zhao Xuanling didn't even give her a look this time. "If this king wants it, this king will take it himself, and it is not the turn of others to come to this king to point fingers."
Nangong Chengcheng frowned, but soon she chuckled. "The water has been muddy, then I'll wait to see how the prince doesn't get wet in this muddy water." With that, she put on her hat and turned to leave the study.
"Lord Wang, these Western Chu people are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic! I really thought that I could command in the Eastern Jin Dynasty more than ten years ago
Draw your feet! ”
"How's the situation in the palace?"
Mingyang knew what he was asking. "Don't worry, Miss Lin is very smart, and until now, the emperor has not been able to convict her."
Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Xuanling's lips were slightly hooked. "She's not stupid, but outside the city?"
"The man is almost there."
"Well, wait, there will be someone who is more anxious than this king."
"Yes."
Nangong Chengcheng soon returned to the palace from the Imperial Palace.
Although Emperor Showa sent people to guard outside the palace, if those people could stop her, Xijing would not be in chaos like this now, and at least half of these turmoil was due to her.
"Allure is back, how is it, Zhao Xuanling agreed?" Nangong Cong asked hurriedly when he saw Nangong returning from the city.
Nangong Allure took off his cloak and sat down on a chair. "Nope."
"No!? He refused!? Nangong Cong unconsciously raised his voice.
Nangong Chengcheng glared at him, Nangong Cong hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Why, doesn't he want to ......?"
Things didn't work out, but Nangong Allure's mood seemed to be good.
"Maybe he doesn't need us at all."
"What do you mean?"
The smile in Nangong Allure's eyes was even bigger. "The man I fancy naturally has his plans for what he wants to do, and he doesn't need others to worry about him, let's just wait to watch the show."
……
Inside the main hall of the Royal Palace.
Emperor Showa was silent.
"Your Majesty, the cause of Lord Yang's death has been ascertained, and I ask the emperor to return the innocent ministers."
"Although there are certain doubts about the cause of Lord Yang's death, but Lord Yang's body appeared in the carriage you were sitting in, and you can't completely get rid of suspicion, if Lin Mumu tells me truthfully who killed Lord Yang, I will deal with you lightly." Emperor Showa looked at Lin Mumu, and his eyes were shining.
Lin Mumu's heart gradually sank, Emperor Showa said that he didn't plan to let her go easily, unless she said that Lord Yang's death was related to Zhao Xuanling, otherwise she would say that Emperor Zhaohe could treat it as if she didn't hear it.
"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know anything about Lord Yang's death, and I ask the emperor to investigate."
"Looks like you're not going to confess."
The ministers standing in the hall also felt the taste, and it stands to reason that Lin Mumu's suspicion should almost be washed away, and the emperor should be strictly interrogated by the lying palace maid, but the emperor bit Lin Mumu and didn't let go......
They thought of what Emperor Showa said at the beginning, and no one dared to make a noise at this time.
Most people don't dare to make a sound, but there are still people who dare to stand up without fear of death.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this lying palace maid should be strictly investigated."
Emperor Showa looked at the person who stood up, and the lines on the tail of his eyes deepened. "General Wei Zhen thinks that I wronged Lin Mumu?"
Lan Zhenbo twisted a pair of thick brows, and said loudly without fear of Emperor Showa's coercion: "Lord Lin has already experienced corpses just now, and it is determined that Lord Yang was not poisoned but beheaded to death, Wei Chen thought that with Lord Yang's martial arts, it was impossible for a woman like Lord Lin to do it, and asked the emperor to investigate." ”
"Your Majesty, the emperor is not good, a large number of chaotic people have poured into the city, saying......" Before Emperor Showa could speak, a forbidden army hurried to the outside of the main hall with a look.
"Say what?"
