Chapter 117: Li's mother and daughter are executed
Yuan Bao raised his eyes, glanced at the hall, and finally stopped his gaze in one direction, and said in a solemn tone: "This box was found in the room of Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin, in addition to this medicinal powder, I also found a night walking robe, with the same mud marks as the Imperial Garden, as well as the residual liquid left by poisonous snakes. ”
"What?!" Chu Lingyue's eyes widened suddenly, and he was furious, "Li's family!
Everyone was also in an uproar, but they didn't expect that the Li family looked very virtuous and stable, and Miss Lin was also gentle and gentle, so she would do such a vicious thing!
Li's face turned pale and he shouted loudly, "Your Majesty has wronged! The courtiers have never done such a thing! This is what someone else has framed! The courtiers have not done it, Your Majesty is a clear guide!"
Although they wanted to kill Ning Ke, they didn't have the courage to poison the people of the four countries at all!
These things are obviously deliberately placed in their room by the mastermind behind the scenes, trying to frame them!
"Your Majesty, the courtier, mother and daughter are just a weak woman, they don't know medical skills at all, how do you know what these medicinal powders are, it's really wronged, Your Majesty!" Lin Shishi also cried out with a cry, that is called a pear blossom with rain, I think I feel pity.
Chu Lingyue's face was calm, and he turned to look at Ning Ke, "What do you think?"
Ning Ke took a look at the things that the ingots had searched, and it was indeed the medicinal powder, and the venom on the night suit was also the kind of poisonous snake in the Imperial Garden, and the soil and residue in the soles of the shoes also matched the Imperial Garden!
If this thing is really Lee's, then it must be behind this time!
She walked towards Li and Lin Shishi, and the two mothers and daughters looked at her with hateful eyes and a wary expression.
Ignoring the vicious eyes, Ning Ke went over to check the clothes of the two mothers and daughters again, but this time, she made another discovery, which surprised her.
Li Shi looked at her knowing eyes, a little uneasy in his heart, and quietly held Lin Shishi's hand, nervous.
"Back to Your Majesty. Ning Ke walked back to the emperor and said truthfully: "The back of the clothes of the Li family and Miss Lin are also stained with medicinal powder like the rest of the people, however, unlike others, they also have medicinal powder elsewhere. ”
"Where?" Chu Lingyue asked with a calm face.
Ning Ke raised his head and said word by word: "Inside the sleeves and on the hands!"
As for why the rest of the people don't have sleeves and hands, just their mother and daughter, it's easy to understand.
Because!
This medicinal powder was put by their mother and daughter! It was hidden in the sleeve to hide people's eyes and ears before, but when you take it with your hand, it will naturally leave traces!
The rest of the people may accidentally get caught in their hands, but there is absolutely no way to have it in their sleeves!
"Wicked woman!" Chu Lingyue was furious and shouted, "You are so vicious! Trying to poison the princes and princesses of the four kingdoms is really an unforgivable crime!"
"Your Majesty!" Li pounced, crying and shouting injustice, "Your Majesty is really wronged! The courtiers really haven't done it, someone must have framed our orphans and widows!"
Lin Shishi also cried and trembled, and kowtowed vigorously, "Your Majesty is wronged, Your Majesty is wronged! The courtiers, mothers and daughters have never done it at all, and those things are not ours!"
Princess Ning Le pursed her lips, also bowed to the ground, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Li family, Miss Lin and the princes and princesses of the four major subject countries have no grudges, if they are murderers, there is indeed no motive for committing the crime." Besides, their mother and daughter don't know how to heal, so how do they know how to lure snakes out?"
"Princess Ningle, since you said that they have no motive, then why do they hide medicinal powder in their sleeves?" Chu Lingyue said coldly: "You want to give me an explanation?"
Princess Ning Le was stunned, "This ......"
But she couldn't answer, because she knew that the Lin family's mother and daughter had medicinal powder hidden in their sleeves, which was to deal with Ning Ke, and she couldn't say that, so she really couldn't explain it.
"Princess Ningle, you better not meddle in this matter, so as not to get into trouble. Chu Junyue glanced at Princess Ningle lightly, with a warning in her tone, Princess Ningle bit her lip, got up with a look of grievance, and hid behind.
Chu Junyue stepped forward with his hands in his hands and asked Li Shi in a cold voice, "Since you said that you were wronged, you would explain where the medicinal powder in your sleeve came from?
His voice was cold, with a majestic and domineering aura that could not be forced, Li couldn't even raise his head, and instantly went limp, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say anything.
Because they knew that the powder would attract poisonous snakes, they naturally didn't dare to go out if they couldn't get it clean, for fear that they would also be bitten to death by poisonous snakes, so they hid in the house and didn't dare to go out until they heard that something big had happened.
"What about you?" Chu Junyue squinted, his gaze was cold and cold, "Miss Lin?"
After all, Lin Shishi is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and the number of paragraphs is not enough, so when she asked like this, she was immediately frightened and said the matter in one go.
"Then, the courtiers of that medicine powder do have it, but there are not many, it's just to target Ning Ke and help my father avenge it! The rest is really not made by the courtiers, and the courtiers don't know anything, they don't know!"
Li Shi saw that she had said it, and the whole person sat back in a gloomy manner, his face like ashes.
Finished!
This time, the lives of the two of them will be confessed here!
If the emperor thinks that the matter of the Imperial Garden is also done by them, then the Lin family will also be ruined!
Something suddenly came to mind in his mind, and Li suddenly got up and said urgently: "Your Majesty spares your life! If you want to poison Ning Ke, it is all done by the courtiers alone, and it has nothing to do with poetry! Also, the courtiers just want to avenge their husbands, and they have not thought of poisoning the people of the four countries, and someone has framed them for the courtiers!"
"Bastard!" Chu Lingyue roared angrily, "Come on, drag these two mothers and daughters down!"
"Your Majesty!"
Li and Lin Shishi turned pale with fright, and they tried their best to explain, begging for mercy, and shouting injustice, but Chu Lingyue was angry, where could he still listen to it, not to mention that this thing was done by these two mothers and daughters, even if it wasn't, someone had to take the blame for this matter!
Now that the people of all countries are watching here, he just wants to show it to the people of the four countries!
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty!
The guards dragged the Li mother and daughter out, and the crying gradually faded away, and finally only heard a scream that was too late to shout, and there was a pounding sound of people's heads falling to the ground.
From beginning to end, the people in the temple did not make a sound, and they shrank together in silence, and their hearts palpitated.
Concubine Shu also watched coldly in this matter, and did not open her mouth to plead, not that she was unwilling, but that the situation was like this, if she pleaded, maybe she would affect herself.
This banquet was organized by her and the queen together, and now that such a big thing has happened, Your Majesty is already very unhappy, if she is pleading, the title of this concubine will also be lost.
So, you can only endure!
Chu Lingyue executed the Li family's mother and daughter, and as soon as he turned his head, he began to scold the queen and the concubine, "How do you two do things!
The queen took the lead in kneeling down, and said guiltily: "Your Majesty is angry, this matter is a dereliction of responsibility by the concubine, please punish Your Majesty." ”
"Your Majesty, please punish you. Concubine Shu also quickly knelt down and pleaded earnestly with a face.
Chu Lingyue gritted his teeth and glared at the two of them, obviously full of anger, but the two of them were so sincere in admitting their mistakes, he couldn't get angry.
After taking a deep breath, he said coldly: "You two are not doing things well! Causing such a big panic, I will punish you for fasting and reciting Buddha for a month! After copying the scriptures, you will come out after reflection!"
"The concubine is the order. The queen and the concubine didn't dare to cry out for injustice, so they whispered and took the punishment.
Things have developed to this point, the murderer has been cut, and those who should be punished have also been punished, and then there is some aftermath work, Chu Lingyue handed over the matter to Chu Junyue to deal with, and left with a black face.
Ning Ke didn't leave, Qingqiang came to look for her, but she still stayed, because she had doubts in her heart.
She always felt that this matter was not like the handiwork of Li and Lin Shishi, these two mothers and daughters did not have such great ability!
For one, everyone who participated in the banquet had medicinal powder on them, so how did the Li mother and daughter do it?
It's almost impossible!
The only possibility is that there is someone else behind the scenes, and this person must also be a person in the palace, who sprinkled the medicine powder on the cushion with the help of his work, so everyone will have the medicine powder on the back of their clothes.
The reason why she didn't tell the emperor was because she didn't want to startle the snake and investigate in secret.
"Ke'er?"
Chu Junyue's voice suddenly came from beside him, and Ning Ke suddenly came back to his senses and looked into his concerned eyes, "You called me?"
"Hmm, what are you thinking?" Chu Junyue asked in a deep voice, "Do you also think that there is another mystery in this matter?" ”
"Yes. Ning Ke was not angry because of the White Lotus matter, and clearly told him about the case, "Li's mother and daughter can't do such a big scene, I'm afraid that the murderer is someone else, if my guess is not wrong, this person must have a certain status in the palace, otherwise I can't do it without such a person." In addition, this person may have participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to have the opportunity to sprinkle medicinal powder on the cushions. ”
Chu Junyue hooked his lips and looked appreciative, "Then in your opinion, who is suspected of this?"
"The stakes are high, and although I already have a guess, I will not talk nonsense until I have evidence. Ning Ke's words were rigorous and didn't say much, "I can say with certainty that this person is the mastermind behind the escape last time!"
As long as she finds out, she will be able to find the truth about Liu Xueqiong's death back then!
Chu Junyue groaned: "This matter is not simple, this spy is hidden so deeply, you may not be able to find out." ”
"Don't worry, I've got a way. The corners of Ning Ke's lips hooked, and he smiled meaningfully.
