Chapter 21: Help Her Speak
"What the courtiers want to say is, why is the courtier's purse on this palace maid!" Lin Mumu's hand shook, a moon white, embroidered with a few orchids and two red tourmalines in front of the purse.
The palace maid's face immediately turned pale, and she looked at the purse in Lin Mumu's hand stiffly and couldn't say a word.
"In this purse, there are three hundred taels of silver and a few taels of broken silver placed by the courtiers, and the emperor can check it."
This change shocked everyone, and the chief eunuch Li Anli stepped forward and took the purse and handed it to Emperor Showa.
Emperor Showa opened the purse and looked at it, and as Lin Mumu said, there were three hundred taels of silver tickets and a few taels of broken silver.
Emperor Showa slammed his palm on the table, making a loud "bang".
"I'll give you a chance to tell the truth, if you don't tell the truth, I'll behead you all over the house!"
The palace maid trembled like chaff, her face was colorless, and her lips trembled and she couldn't cry. "The emperor, the emperor, the slave, the slave is, it's the one who picked it up, not the ......" was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, let the courtiers come and say it for her."
Emperor Showa once again fell his gaze on Lin Mumu, looking at her calm but firm eyes, and gradually calmed down, his daughter-in-law seemed to have been very calm and calm from just now to now, which was different from her reputation.
But...... Ugly, to really ugly.
"You say."
"At that time, she snatched the courtier's purse from behind and ran all the way to the edge of the lotus pond next to the rockery, his accomplices must have been waiting there, and when they found out that the courtiers were chasing, they directly pushed the Eighth Highness into the lotus pond, and then she ran out and preached that it was the courtiers who pushed the Eighth Highness into the pond."
She guessed that the palace maid must have opened the purse when she hid in the rockery, and after finding that there were three hundred taels of silver tickets inside, she was greedy, and felt that no one would care about the whereabouts of the purse anyway, so she was greedy.
If the palace maid knew that there was still this experience, she would be distressed and would throw away this purse!
But now it was too late to regret it, and in her extreme fear, she couldn't make up a lie without loopholes to explain how the purse got into her hands.
"Bold, say, why is this purse in your hands!"
"Slave maid, slave maid is picked up, picked up, picked up...... At that time, the purse did not fall into the lotus pond, but it fell to the ground......"
Where would Emperor Showa still believe her arguments. "Someone, dare to murder His Royal Highness, slander the Third Imperial Concubine, and drag her down to me for trial, I want to see who has the courage to commit murder in my palace!"
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the slave is really the unjust emperor...... Yes, it's a mother......"
"Bold, who do you want to bite at this time, don't stop gagging and drag down the palace!" Concubine Xueyu snorted coldly, and the guards hurriedly blocked the palace maid's mouth and dragged it down.
"Wheels"
As soon as the palace maid was dragged down, everyone heard a heavy rolling sound.
"Weichen is late, please ask the emperor, the queen mother to forgive her sins."
Lin Mumu looked back, and a glance made her stunned in place.
This man...... It's too good-looking!
He wore a purple gold jade crown on his head, his black hair was tied high, and under the sword eyebrows that flew diagonally into his temples were a pair of black pupils printed with golden sun, and he was slightly leaning in a brown wooden wheelchair, pushed by a guard with a coffin face.
He'd seen that guard, but it wasn't Hui who kicked off several of Mama Fang's ribs!
As if he felt that the purple gold crown on Zhao Xuanling's head was a little dazzling, Emperor Showa squinted his eyes slightly and immediately smiled.
"Hahahaha, Mo Shen, tell me, I specially organized this reception banquet for you, you are good, I and the hundred officials are waiting for you until the soup is cold, you told me where you went, why did you arrive at this time?"
Emperor Showa's seemingly joking words are actually somewhat intriguing.
"The emperor forgave the sin, and after entering the palace, Weichen had a leg attack and didn't dare to worry the emperor, so he went to the side hall to ask the imperial doctor to come and treat him."
Hearing this, Emperor Showa had a touch of melancholy on his face. "Feel better now?"
"The doctors in the Tai Hospital are highly skilled, and Wechen is no longer in trouble."
"Don't worry, even if you don't have these legs in the future, you will always be a hero who defends my territory in the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
"The emperor praised falsely, and the ministers were ashamed." Zhao Xuanling's expression was faint, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised.
"You deserve it."
Lin Mumu slowly turned around and prepared to return to her position, although she really wanted to find out who framed her, but Emperor Showa obviously wanted to deal with this matter afterwards, if she held on to it, it would cause trouble in the end, but this hatred, she wrote it down!
"Just now, Wei Chen saw the guards dragging a palace maid down."
Zhao Xuanling was not present just now, and Emperor Showa did not mention this matter now. "A slave who doesn't want to die."
"The palace maid next to Concubine Xueyu is indeed bolder than others."
Zhao Xuanling's words made the Xue Yu Guifei who was sitting in the position stiffen. "What does the King mean by that?"
Emperor Showa also cast an inquiring gaze.
Zhao Xuanling's fingertips gently rubbed the smooth wrench, his face expressionless. "It turns out that it is not the palace maid of the Snow Jade Guifei, it is the king who misunderstood."
Lin Mumu glanced at Zhao Xuanling in surprise, he ...... Is this talking for her? If the palace maid is Xue Yu Guifei's person, then this matter really has nothing to do with her, after all, Xue Yu Guifei still wanted her life just now!
Lin Mumu touched her face silently, could it be ...... This is the legendary personality charm!?
Emperor Showa's expression changed in an instant.
Zhao Xuanling's words were really intriguing, the queen's phoenix eyes darkened slightly, and she glanced at the snow jade concubine lightly.
"The banquet begins." Emperor Showa ended the topic with this.
Everyone returned to their seats and sat down, and the dancing girls rushed in.
Lin Ziyu looked at Lin Mumu, who was sitting down safely, and clenched the silk handkerchief in his sleeve, why, why did he let this slut escape in the end!
"Thank you so much sister just now." Lin Mumu raised his voice slightly, so that the people sitting next to the two of them could hear it clearly.
How sisterly Lin Ziyu showed just now, how much pain her face is now, no one present is a fool, as long as you think about Lin Ziyu's words just now, you can know the deep meaning, it seems to be helping Lin Mumu exonerate, but in fact, they are affirming Lin Mumu's guilt again and again.
"Seeing my sister like this, it seems that I am very disappointed that I am not in prison?"
She said that with Lin Ziyu's ability alone, how could it be so easy to place her own people in the palace, she looked up at Xue Yu Guifei, and Lin Ziyu was not the only one who wanted to kill her!
Lin Ziyu hated to tear Lin Mumu's face, but he still had to keep a smile on his face. "My sister is talking nonsense, seeing that my sister is fine, my sister doesn't know how happy she is."
Lin Mumu took a piece of pastry and took a bite. "Huh? Yes, I saw you laughing worse than crying, and I thought you were disappointed. ”
Zhao Hanjun also listened to the conversation between the two, and he looked slightly sideways at Lin Mumu's half of Lin Mumu's face without birthmarks, which was also the first time he looked at her face seriously.
Although Lin Mumu and Lin Ziyu are sisters, they don't look like each other at all, Lin Ziyu is soft and charming, as if she can melt into his arms, but Lin Mumu's eyebrows and eyes are exceptionally spiritual, which makes him suddenly have a sense of freshness that he wants to possess.
Zhao Hanjun's gaze was so strong that Lin Mumu couldn't ignore it, she stuffed the pastry into her mouth, turned her head and grinned at him.
The fast black birthmark looks particularly hideous in the golden light!
Zhao Hanjun was stunned, frowned in disgust, and quickly retracted his gaze.
It's really ...... to be ugly like this Can't get your mouth shut!
The people in the banquet hall were gradually attracted by the stumbling dancing girls, as if what had just happened had not happened, and they were all immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
Lin Mumu was bored, her eyes quickly roamed over the people in the royal family, and now she could only be sure that the person with the dragon head was not the eighth prince, and the rest of the people were ...... Even including Emperor Showa, who was sitting on the dragon chair and was over forty years old.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, no, it's not good, it's not good, His Royal Highness is poisoned!"
When the banquet was about to arrive at the Gao Dynasty, a little eunuch ran in with a pale face.
"What!" The queen stood up with a "sigh".
Emperor Showa also waved his hand to make the dancing girls retreat.
"What are you talking about, make it clear to me!"
"Yes, yes, just now after His Royal Highness fell into the water, the servants carefully carried His Highness back to the palace, and when he returned to the palace, His Highness had already woken up, and the Imperial Doctor also diagnosed His Highness's pulse and said that it was no big deal, but after His Highness drank the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Doctor, he suddenly vomited blood and fainted."
"Doctor, Doctor, let Yuan Zhang judge go over immediately." The queen's face was full of worry and panic, but in the end, she was the mother of a country, and she had not completely lost her dignity.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are really worried about the safety of the eighth prince, and ask the emperor to let the concubines go over to have a look."
Zhao Rufei is the only son-in-law of Emperor Showa, and he has a pure temperament, which has always been liked by Emperor Showa, and Emperor Showa stood up at the same time. "I'm going to take a look, too."
Saying that, the emperor and queen left the banquet hall together, and the hearts of the remaining courtiers were hanging, His Royal Highness was poisoned, and the queen would never give up on this matter.
His Royal Highness was poisoned, wouldn't this be Lin Ziyu's last move to bite her, right?
Lin Mumu looked sideways at Lin Ziyu, Lin Ziyu seemed to be still immersed in the emotions of not killing Lin Mumu, and a pair of eyebrows were not stretched, and it didn't look like she did it.
The princes and princesses present also got up one after another, Zhao Rufei was their half-brother, so they couldn't sit still.
Lin Mumu thought of the young man with clear eyes and a clean and shy smile, twisted his eyebrows, stood up behind Zhao Hanjun, and went over to see what the situation was.
Emperor Showa and Empress arrived at Zhao Rufei's Five Elements Palace, and the imperial doctors of Zhang Yuanju and Tai Hospital all arrived, and they all stepped forward to salute when they saw the arrival of the emperor and queen.
Emperor Showa waved his hand casually and asked them to get up. "How's the eighth child now?"
"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Eighth is indeed poisoned, and the ministers are checking what kind of poison can prescribe the right medicine." Zhang Yuan's sentence is already six out of sixty, because of his medical skills, he has always been the most trusted imperial doctor of Emperor Showa.
"Quick, don't let the old eight have anything to do!"
"Manjusri ......" Manjushri is Zhao Rufei's word, the queen wiped her tears and walked to Zhao Rufei's bed, looking at Zhao Rufei with her eyes closed and her lips purple, crying silently.
Lin Mumu and they could only wait in the outer hall after entering the hall, and they couldn't see what was going on inside.
The toxin that can poison a person in a short period of time must be very strong and highly toxic, and if not treated in time, it is likely to die in a very short time.
"The emperor is not good, His Royal Highness is vomiting blood again!"
With a wail, everyone looked up at the inner room.
"Manjushri!"
"Vomit...... Vomit! ”
A row of fine cold sweat overflowed from his forehead, and after listening to Zhao Rufei's pulse, his fingertips couldn't help but tremble, His Royal Highness's breath is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid it is...... It's almost gone!
