Chapter 225: Initiation
Most of the people's voices below suppressed their voices, but they couldn't stand the crowd, and in Jiakangdi's ears, thousands of sparrows were chattering endlessly.
Jiang Ronghua glanced at Jia Kangdi, who had a dark look in his eyes, sat up straight and asked.
"Since there is no poison in the wine bottle, how did the poison in the wine glass come from? At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet run by the main palace, someone dared to act so boldly, and they didn't take the majesty of the heavenly family in their eyes! ”
Jiang Ronghua's question is what everyone present wants to ask, the poisoned gods can't find out the source without knowing it, so who will dare to eat and drink at the palace banquet in the future.
Tong Qingyan shook her body slightly, in order to pretend to be pitiful, Emperor Jia Kangdi shouted before, but he didn't get up himself, but now he really can't kneel.
Song Zhan silently walked to Tong Qingyan's other side and pulled the person up from the ground, ignoring Tong Qingyan's stunned gaze, and blocked most of the person after pulling him up.
Zhou He didn't need Emperor Jia Kangdi to give any more orders, he silently checked all the things on the table of Princess Xiu and Tong Qingyan, focused on Tong Qingyan's wine glass, and then picked up the trembling palace maid and checked it.
"Imperial Doctor Zhou has found out how the poison got into the county lord's wine glass?"
The Queen Mother leaned back slightly and sat on the main seat, watched Zhou He withdraw her hand, and asked first.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, Weichen thinks that this poison should be inseparable from this palace maid......"
"The slave is wronged! The slave and maid are wronged...... The slave doesn't know anything! The slave is really wronged......"
Before Zhou He finished speaking, he was interrupted, looking at the palace maid who was desperately kowtowing and quickly broke her scalp, Zhou He hurriedly stopped her.
"Don't knock! The old man hasn't finished talking yet! If you knock down again, you will faint before you can prove your innocence. ”
The palace maid who had experienced a lot of ups and downs, and before she could take a breath, she was about to roll her eyes and faint, and Zhou Heyan quickly pulled a needle and pierced it into the palace maid's person.
The people who were watching clearly around subconsciously covered their mouths and noses and gasped.
With such a lot of strength, don't think about fainting, it will definitely hurt to God......
The palace maid came over in one breath, looking at Zhou He with tears in her eyes, Zhou He stroked her gray beard and pointed to the wine jug and wine glass on the table.
"What did you do before the county lord found out that there was a problem with the drink, do it now, if you want to prove your innocence, you must do everything as usual, and there is no mistake or omission."
After Zhou He pointed out the palace maid, his eyes fell on Tong Qingyan behind Song Zhan, Tong Qingyan walked back to the table and sat down, cooperating with the palace maid to restore the situation at that time.
The palace maid poured a glass of wine at the beginning, and stood behind Tong Qingyan, Tong Qingyan silently raised the wine glass and poured the wine into her sleeve in front of everyone, and put the wine glass down without changing her face.
"When the slave and maid finished pouring it, they found that there was no wine in the pot, so they went down to get the wine again, and then Jin Wuwei pressed the slave and maid over."
Everyone's thoughts at the moment were not on the palace maid, their eyes fell on Tong Qingyan's sleeve, Tong Qingyan touched the bridge of her nose, stood up with a slight embarrassed smile, shook her sleeve and said to Jia Kangdi.
"The father and the emperor knew that the son was about to get married, and the son was afraid that he would lose your face by drinking too much at this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, so he asked the maid to sew a thing to drink this reunion wine for the son in advance, hoping that the father and the emperor would forgive me."
Emperor Jiakang glanced at Tong Qingyan helplessly, shook his head and said that he would not pursue it again, Zhou He saw that everyone's thoughts fell back on the palace maid, and asked in a deep voice.
"Do you remember clearly? That's what you did at the time, and you only touched the flask, and nothing else? ”
"It is true that the slave and maid only pour wine for the county lord, and when the wine is gone, they go down to get it, and as for the things, the slave and maid remember that they only hold the wine jug in their hands...... Oh yes! The slave and maid were holding the wine jug in her right hand and the bottom of the jug in her left hand, but she was not holding it empty-handed, but she was padding it! ”
Each palace maid who pours wine has a piece of Na Pap, which is to prevent the residual wine from dripping elsewhere at the mouth of the pot, and there is a piece of Pail to facilitate the residual wine that is accidentally low.
"What about the veil?!"
"The veil is in the side hall, and the slave maid just took the new wine at that time, and was pressed into the hall by Jin Wuwei and the old wine jug, and the veil fell in the side hall and had time to bring it with the wine jug."
Jin Wuwei didn't need anyone's order this time, the two people standing at the door turned to the side hall nearby, put the handkerchief in the mouth of the palace maid on the tray and brought it in.
There was silence in the hall, everyone watched with bated breath as Zhou He took a thick silver needle to pick up the folded boxy handkerchief, the light blue handkerchief was embroidered with the same color of the vivid hollow valley orchid, Zhou He stared at the dark green leaf embroidery thread for a while, and then changed to a thin needle like cow's hair slowly through the embroidery thread.
It was only a blink of an eye to penetrate the fine needle and pull it out, but Zhou He's expression had already made everyone with a discerning eye know the answer, and the poison was indeed hidden in this veil.
"Your Majesty, what is hidden in this embroidery thread is peacock blue, as long as the palace maid wipes the spout to stain the poison on the mouth of the pot, the next time you pour wine, the wine in the cup must be poisonous."
Jia Condi stretched out two fingers and pinched his eyebrows, and nodded.
"Okay, okay...... The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was poisoned with great effort, if it weren't for the keen sense of smell of the Lord of Yanyang County, I am afraid that he would have been blocked long ago! ”
Hearing this, everyone silently retorted in their hearts, even if they don't have a keen sense of smell, they can't die, because this person hasn't drunk a drop of wine at all!
Without waiting for Jiakangdi to say anything, Jiang Ronghua had already left the table and knelt down.
"The concubine has made such a mistake in managing the palace banquet, please ask the emperor to surrender."
Jia Kangdi glanced over, Li Zhong hurriedly reached out and helped Jiang Ronghua up, and Jia Kangdi comforted.
"How important the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is, you are not to blame for the time when you are alone and always negligent."
Jiang Ronghua stood up and looked at Jiakangdi's lack of energy, and said distressedly.
"The emperor might as well go back and rest first, this poisoned person is so thoughtful, I'm afraid that he won't be able to find out the reason for a while, and the county lord is fine, and the emperor can rest assured."
Jia Kangdi glanced at everyone in the audience, the strength of the wine gradually hit his forehead, and in a dizziness, Jia Kangdi stood up, put one hand on Li Zhong's shoulder, and waved the other hand casually and said.
"That's it for today, scattered."
Everyone suppressed the corners of their mouths, and left the table to bow down, who doesn't want to go home early for the New Year, the old wife and children are hot on the kang, eating a cold meal in this palace, it is better to go home and cook a bowl of dumplings.
Everyone stood up and walked out one after another, and before the first person who went out had completely stepped out with one foot, he saw a eunuch rushing in and shouting.
"The queen mother suddenly launched!"
