Wen Zhen took her into the palace today, and she wanted her to check the phoenix robe, but she was not surprised to hear her say this, she turned sideways slightly, and listened to Caisang whisper: "Originally, there was a piece of group embroidery behind it, and it was that piece at the beginning, which was discovered by Ling Niang that there was a problem, which led to many things later." But just now the queen was promoted, I don't seem to see the piece of group embroidery. ”

Wen Zhen knew that the original piece of group embroidery behind it had hidden the witch charm with a unique stitch, but after being discovered, he definitely couldn't continue to keep that kind of thing, and it was normal for the group embroidery to be dismantled and re-embroidered. It's just that Xiuniang made such a big fuss at the beginning, the Tang family and the Ji family were all dragged in, and the matter also fell in the eyes of the local government and Yan Sui, whether it was the Tang family or the Ji family, as long as the IQ was normal, they should understand that it is easy to fall into the trap of the other party if they make a fuss about the phoenix robe, and they should give up this phoenix robe.

Especially the Ji family, later Ji Huaiyuan was rebelled by Yan Sui, and Ji Huaiqing, who planned the embroidery incident, was disabled, and now he is busy with infighting, and he should not be involved in the phoenix robe anymore.

She pondered silently, and inadvertently turned her gaze and found that the fifth table opposite was Wen Jinchun.

Also, the queen's birthday banquet, of course she, the crown prince Liangyuan, must be present.

Wen Jinchun didn't look at her, she was listening to the queen's speech with a reverent and attentive face, and the ladies and ladies present actually practiced a kind of inner distraction and superficial concentration, but compared to Wen Jinchun, she looked the most sincere and real.

No wonder it was able to stand out in front of the Queen Mother.

Next is the gift session, Wen Zhen, who has already gone through a while, is sleeping with his eyes wide open.

She has already given gifts, and the queen is always embarrassed to ask her again, right?

She suddenly felt as if she had been stepped on by someone, and when she looked up, she saw Juya's eyes passing her fingers strangely.

She wears curly grass on her hands.

Juya just swept by, and then walked out with her head held high, following Concubine De for a long time, her spirit was different from others, and even her back was open and clawed.

The crowd behind her whispered.

"Concubine De's shelf is really big, and the queen's birthday dares to say that she can't come when she is sick, if she doesn't come, she won't come, and she also sent a palace maid to give gifts, isn't this contempt for the queen in public."

"What kind of gift is that? A bag of sunflower seeds fried by Concubine De Niangniang...... It's really a shame that the mother is so self-contained, so I really accepted it, and even her face didn't change. ”

"For so many years, these things are not once, and after all, you can't do anything with her, and the queen can only admit it. However, it is said that Concubine De stopped giving face to the queen many years ago, what happened this year? ”

"Shhhh Forgot all the instructions before I came? Don't talk about the secrets of the palace! ”

……

Only then did Wen Zhen know that when she opened her eyes and slept, there had already been a good show.

It's not strange that she didn't see Concubine De today, it's really strange that Concubine De sent someone to give gifts.

Did that beauty really send someone to congratulate the queen on her birthday?

Wen Zhen's eyes fell on the curly grass on his fingers, thought about it, and took it off again.

Then she emptied her head again, and was thinking about how to pit Changchuan Yi when she was suddenly stepped on again.

"Wen Zhen! Bun-sama! Wake up! The seventh princess Yan Qi stretched out a foot and desperately crushed her. Cai Sang also nudged her behind her, "The queen called you!" ”

Wen Zhen's face turned pale, he sat up straight, kicked Yan Qi's feet away, and said calmly: "Thank you, princess, I heard that." I'm just thinking about how to pay homage. After saying that, he got up and walked out frankly.

Yan Qi rolled his eyes and scolded, "Same as the third brother, shameless!" ”

Wen Zhen originally thought that the queen wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass her, and deliberately pretended to forget to arrange her to give a gift, but she didn't want to go up, but Yi Xiurong was offering a colorful jade parrot, the queen beckoned Wen Zhen to the palace, pointed at Yi Xiurong and said with a smile: "I heard that the palace is in the garden, and Xiurong has done something inappropriate to your maid." This kid has been favored by the palace for a long time, and his behavior is a little out of tune. Lord Wen is a minister of the court, but she can't be convicted willfully. Let her make amends to you in person, and you will forgive you a lot. ”

Wen Zhen felt the different eyes behind him, looked at Yi Xiurong who was red and tearful on the other side, and scolded his mother in his heart, while quickly supporting Yi Xiurong with both hands, and sincerely pleaded with the queen, "Niangniang is serious." However, there was a slight misunderstanding, and the minister and Sister Xiu Rong had already talked about it. Today is the happy day of the mother, and it is really the minister's sin to worry about this little thing. ”

The queen's eyes fell on the tortoiseshell jewelry on her head, and she nodded, "It can't be considered a trivial matter." Xiu Rong is young, her eyelids are shallow, she has delusions about things that are not her own, and she almost hurt your servant, if you don't punish her, this palace will be ashamed of being the queen. ”

Wen Zhen's heart was full of alarm bells. It is impossible for Yi Xiurong to explain to the queen by herself, how did the queen know? This kind of thing is so disgraceful, it is too late for normal people to cover it up, why does the queen not only not cover it up, but also does not accept her words to downplay the situation, and repeatedly wants to make the contradiction clear?

When did this person become so honest and reasonable?

There was a faint sound of discussion behind him.

Wen Zhen quickly entered the hall and sat down, and his behavior was low-key. At this moment, she was called to the palace by the queen, and her colorful clothes and jewelry were all seen by everyone, and at the same time, she also understood the meaning of the queen's words - Yi Xiurong was greedy for Wen Zhen's jewelry, and she wanted to rob and hurt Wen Zhen's maid for this reason, which was a very excessive thing.

Everyone stared at Wen Zhen, thinking about this rumored powerful person, so easy to speak?

I also think that this dress is so chic and luxurious, not too eye-catching and noble enough, which shows that the person who prepared it is delicate, I heard that her fiancé has had an accident, and this is a gift from her new hooked up.

Anyway, it won't be His Royal Highness King Yi.

I have never heard of the mundane things that His Highness will take care of these clothes and jewelry in the world.

It's really amazing to say, how can His Royal Highness's sex tolerate the woman he likes to be so swaggering?

Wen Zhen sighed, "Niangniang is really a mother in the world, a model of the harem." It's just that the mother misunderstood, Miss Xiu Rong didn't have greed for my things, she just liked the tortoiseshell jewelry of the minister, and proposed to exchange gifts with the minister, but the minister's maid herself misunderstood the meaning. Niangniang, you see, the colorful jade parrot offered by Miss Xiu Rong is ingenious, where is it worse than the tortoiseshell head of the minister? ”

The queen's eyes flashed, and she smiled: "That's what you said." Xiu Rong's gift is very precious, and the palace also likes it very much. He turned his head and instructed Yi Xiurong, "Master Wen is generous and elegant, you still can't thank each other?" ”

Yi Xiurong came up shyly and timidly to salute, Wen Zhen had to hold her elbow with both hands, the two smirked at each other, and the queen seemed to be very satisfied with such a harmonious atmosphere, so she ordered both of them to retreat.

After Wen Zhen sat down, he turned his head to look at where Yi Xiurong was sitting, and saw that Zhou Yuanzhi was next to her, not far from herself, so she winked at Zhou Yuanzhi.

Wen Zhen played it skillfully, Zhou Yuanzhi was hidden, no one could find this action, Zhou Yuanzhi lowered her head and unfolded the note and glanced at it, stunned, and glanced at Yi Xiurong next to her.

After the gift, there is a feast, this kind of banquet has always been the biggest rule, when to raise chopsticks, when to raise a glass, when to put chopsticks, there are regulations. The only one who could reproduce these statutes perfectly without showing any tiredness seemed to be the Queen, who sat upright all the time, her long skirt dangling.

The maids poured wine for the guests in a row, and the wine was all honey wine, and there was no stamina, and no one was allowed to get drunk and lose his temper on this occasion.

Zhou Yuanzhi quickly chatted with Yi Xiurong next door, and the two seemed to get along very well and toasted each other frequently.

The queen seemed to be in a good mood today, chatting idly, and everyone who was fortunate enough to be talked to quickly put down their chopsticks, straighten their backs, look at the queen, and concentrate on answering. The queen and Wen Zhen chatted a lot, but they didn't ask about the Wuhai incident that everyone was concerned about, only talked about the food production, and the plantation of the Si Agricultural Supervisor that was being prepared, and the queen also knew that Yan Sui asked the ministers of each family to send people to farm the land, and many of the ladies present were still participants that day, and they were deflated by Wen Zhen. It is also the main force of today's gossip Wen Zhen, but the queen said a few words, revealing her appreciation for the minister's concern for Nongsang, everyone felt a lot better when they heard it, and Wen Zhen's expression was also softened, and some people secretly praised in their hearts, the queen's virtuous reputation is well deserved, Wen Zhen's identity, from any point of view, should not be treated by her, but the queen mother can't see the slightest dislike.

Wen Zhen was rolling her eyes in her heart, the queen frequently talked to her, she had to put down her chopsticks and sit upright with the queen to answer, although she didn't know how to eat or drink, but she was tired, she didn't want this kind of grace.

She didn't move a sip of the honey wine in the cup, but the palace maids still added it in turn devotedly, and they were not afraid of overflowing.

After three rounds of drinking, the queen seemed to be a little tired, and finally leaned back, Wen Jinchun immediately went over, and thoughtfully took a soft pillow behind the queen.

The queen smiled at her, leaned on the soft pillow, and suddenly her face changed.

Everyone in the palace was always paying attention to her, and as soon as her face changed, everyone's faces changed, and they all put down their chopsticks and looked at her nervously.

The queen also noticed it, smiled, and said, "It's okay, it's just a little bit of back pain......"

Before everyone could let go, the queen seemed to want to pick up the cup and prove that she had no problem, but as soon as the cup was served, it slipped to the ground.

When there was a loud sound, everyone jumped on the spot in shock, and looked at the queen in panic, and the queen raised her arm, seeing that her body was stiff, and the arm couldn't be put down.

Someone let out a scream, and Wen Jinchun shouted: "Pass on the imperial doctor!" Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Holding the queen, he said to the frightened seventh princess Yan Qi, who rushed to the palace: "Princess! Get out of here! Don't go to the temple to influence the mother! He turned to a loud voice to the concubines and ladies who had already risen in confusion: "Quiet, quiet! Please sit still and do not move, so as not to be taken advantage of! ”

Only then did the crown princess react, stood up with a white face, and asked everyone not to panic while ordering people to come in. It's just to follow Wen Jinchun to talk.

Wen Zhen remained motionless from beginning to end, thinking that Wen Jinqing was really a good hand who would seize the opportunity, and if she didn't do anything about today's affairs, just by her performance, it would be enough to make the emperor and the crown prince look at him differently.

Calm, steady, stable situation, reasonable arrangement, on the one hand, to appease the people, on the other hand, to keep everyone in the temple, so that no one takes advantage of the chaos to escape or take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

Over there, I heard Jinchun whispering to the queen, the queen always stiffened her arms and couldn't put them down, there was a look of horror in her eyes, but she didn't say a word, she didn't seem to be able to speak, and half of her face was a little stiff, like a small stroke.

Wen Zhen felt that it was a bit like poison.

She glanced at the phoenix robe.

At this time, the guards had already rushed in, and the imperial doctor also arrived as soon as possible, seeing that the queen was not suitable to move, he simply moved the screen to cover the queen for on-the-spot treatment.

There were mixed footsteps outside the palace gate, and the emperor and his ministers also came. The courtiers all remained outside the screen, and the emperor and the crown prince entered the screen.

After a while, Wen Zhen vaguely heard the words inside: "It's poisonous ......"

Immediately, the queen's nurse Huang Mama couldn't help but say: "Niangniang has been good before, and we have tasted all the food in the mouth first, how can it be poisoned?" ”

Mama Huang has always been the most favored old man around the queen, and she is very close to the queen, although she was frightened when the queen just fell, she still looked stable, but at this moment, her voice trembled, and she was so panicked that she couldn't even speak completely.

She threw herself on the queen and whispered: "Niangniang, you speak, you speak!" ”

The emperor still couldn't look at it, and said: "Mama Huang, step down, don't disturb the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment." ”

The grandmother stood aside, still trembling with fear on her face.

Wen Zhen squinted at the half of her face exposed behind the screen.

The Imperial Physician was asking, "Have you ever been exposed to anything?" ”

Mama Huang trembled for a long time before she said in a low voice: "Before the accident, Niangniang only leaned on the pillow that Wen Liangyuan brought over......

The emperor's voice was inaudible, "Check." ”

Poof, probably the sound of Jinchun kneeling, there are lights in the hall, and the figure behind the screen can be reflected, the young woman knelt down suddenly, but her voice was not flustered, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine!" ”

The guests in the palace were all suspicious at the moment, so they didn't leave, and shrank aside to watch the palace drama. Many people knew that Wen Jinchun had made a mistake before and was punished by the Xiang Palace, and their eyes drifted to Wen Zhen.

Wen Zhen didn't see it.

The Emperor's calm voice came, "There is no need to rush to defend yourself, and speak with evidence. ”

After a while, the imperial doctor said, "There is nothing wrong with that soft pillow. ”

The prince hurriedly said: "Check other things, clothes, jewelry, everything the queen can touch." ”

A moment later, a slightly angry voice sounded from the Tai Hospital, "There is a needle embroidered on the back of the phoenix robe!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and Wen Zhen's eyes flashed.

She has good eyesight, the screen is not completely covered, she saw the phoenix robe taken off by the queen in the hand of the imperial doctor, in the embroidery on the back, there is a small silver mechanism, very small, it looks like a thread, it is actually a steel wire, there are small needles in it, there are several layers of clothes in this kind of weather, and the mechanism will not be activated when worn in ordinary activities, but once something is pressed, the spring is stressed, and the small needle will pop out.

Yan Sui, who was outside the screen, suddenly said: "Since there is a problem with the phoenix robe, it must have nothing to do with everyone in this hall, everyone is frightened, so let's quit first." ”

The royal secrets were naturally not suitable for being watched, the emperor nodded, and the prince came out to invite all the mothers, princesses, and ladies to go back to their respective homes.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up, the sound of broken dresses sounded, and suddenly someone was startled.

Everyone looked, but saw a woman lying on the table, and the woman next to her was pushing her, saying, "Miss Yi, are you asleep?" It's time for us to get out. While looking up at the crowd, he said, "Miss Yi fell asleep before, I woke her up." He beckoned the maid behind him to help shout.

As soon as she pushed, Yi Xiurong, who was lying on the table, fell softly to the side.

This posture was weird, the woman was stunned, and then looked at Yi Xiurong's face, and suddenly let out a scream.

The screams alarmed the nobles in the palace, and they all turned their heads to look, and at this time, the people around Yi Xiurong were already screaming, and the tide generally dispersed, revealing Yi Xiurong's miserable white and blue face in the middle.

Her eyes widened slightly, looking straight at the caisson with flying dragons and phoenixes above her head.

She's dead.

"Xiu Rong!" With a terrible shout, Yi Dezhong pounced and hugged his daughter.

The Imperial Physician hurried over, checked it, and shook his head. Zhang Yuanzheng of Tai Hospital rolled Yi Xiurong's eyelids, looked at her lips, hands and feet, and said in a low voice: "He Niangniang is a poison." The toxicity is more violent than that of the mother. ”

Singling asked, "How?" ”

Zhang Yuanzheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, and paused before saying, "Breathing has stopped." ”

Shan Ling had a calm face and said coldly: "Long Xiangwei, form a formation outside the hall to defend." Yu Linwei, please all the ladies here go to the side hall to rest. ”

said that it was rest, but in fact, it was house arrest, and it could have been gone, but now that Yi Xiurong is dead, no one can leave.

Everyone was frightened one after another, and they were already six gods and no masters, and they numbly followed the guards and walked out.

The queen was also sent to the inner hall to continue treatment, but Mama Huang, who had been by the queen's side, stayed, suddenly turned out from behind the screen, pointed to Wen Zhen, who was also walking out, and said loudly: "Wait, please stay for a while!" ”

Everyone looked at Wen Zhen one after another.

Wen Zhen looked back at her calmly.

Mama Huang pointed at Wen Zhen and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Lord Wen will use poison!" ”

Everyone frowned.

Everyone knows that Wen Zhen will use drugs, after all, when she was involved in the witch Gu case, she was found out about the poison.

Wen Zhen had an expression of "I've been wronged, and now it's here again", and said in amazement: "Mama Huang, if you can use poison, you are the murderer?" Most of the adults in the Tai Hospital here will use poison. Could it be that they are also murderers? ”

"Then there are naturally other reasons," Mama Huang looked very excited, trembling all over, and the light in her eyes flashed, "You and Miss Yi have had a quarrel before!" ”

"When was that?" Wen Zhen smiled, "That must have happened two hours ago, didn't you hear Zhang Yuanzheng say that this poison was in half an hour?" ”

"Just now in the palace, Miss Yi apologized to you, you helped her arm, twice!" Mama Huang pointed at her fingertips and trembled, "You are so vicious, Miss Xiu Rong has inadvertently offended you, and she has already apologized to you in public, and you are going to poison you!" ”

"I don't understand what you're saying." Wen Zhen said coldly, "Why did I poison Yi Xiurong in public? Yi Xiurong and the queen are the same poison, I have never been in contact with the queen's mother, how did I poison the queen's back? ”

Wen Jinchun suddenly said faintly: "May I ask Zhang Yuanzheng, why is the poison in the queen's mother not as toxic as Miss Yi?" ”

"That's probably because the poison on the poison needle on the queen's back has already been laid, and the toxicity has subsided after too much time."

"Can the court see how much time has passed?"

"About a month."

"More than a month, at that time, the phoenix robe made by Zhangxian County had not been sent to Beijing." Wen Jinchun said, "If the concubine is not mistaken, Lord Wen seems to have passed through Zhangxian County a while ago. ”

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

The important ministers probably knew Wen Zhen's previous experience before and after the Wuhai incident, for example, she solved the embroidery incident in Zhangxian County, and the cause of the embroidery trouble was precisely because of the phoenix robe.

In this way, she has the opportunity to contact the phoenix robe in advance.

"Haven't answered my question yet." Wen Zhen looked at her, "Committing a crime is about motives. Why did I go to great lengths to poison my mother so far in advance, and why did I poison Miss Yi in public after she had a disagreement with her? Doesn't that mean not admitting yourself? ”

"I'll tell you why." Yi Dezhong suddenly answered, and he turned his head from his daughter's corpse, his eyes were bloodshot crimson.

"Because you know that I asked Ying to go to Changchuan to serve as the assassin, and I also know that the queen is about to ask Your Majesty for this matter. And you don't want me to become the assassin of Changchuan, so you attack the little girl and the queen. Killing the little girl is to warn me, and the poison queen is to make me lose the queen's support. ”

"Lord Yi." Wen Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "I'm not a third duke, I'm not a royal family, I'm an idle peasant official, whether you go to Changchuan to serve as an assassin, what does it have to do with me?" What kind of good place is Changchuan, and it is not a fragrant dumpling that everyone is fighting for, you ask the minister in this palace, who are you willing to go to who is not happy to see it succeed, and is guilty of killing the queen for this? ”

This is really true, Shan Ling couldn't help but nod, this idea doesn't make sense.

In other words, no matter what happens to Master Wen, this idea is too clear.

"Others are naturally happy, but you are different." Yi Dezhong sneered, "Because you accepted Changchuan Yi's commission!" ”

Wen Zhen's eyebrows were raised, and he pointed to his nose, "I, accepted, Changchuan Yi's, commission?" ”

Not to mention that her eyebrows were about to fly, the rest of the people's eyebrows were also in the air, and even Li Xiang couldn't help but say: "Yi Shangshu, what you said is ridiculous." The relationship between Changchuan Yi and Master Wen has never been good. ”

All the ministers nodded - the Fushou Paste Bureau that Changchuan Yi spent so much energy arranging was smashed into the hands of Lord Wen. It's ridiculous to say that.

This was the case before, but are things in the world set in stone? Isn't there a trick or a trick? Isn't it possible that the situation will be different? Yi Dezhong looked at Wen Zhen and said, "If you have always had someone from the Changchuan Yi family by your side, and you are one of the heirs that the Changchuan Yi family has been looking for, and you have recently been discovered by the Changchuan Yi family, and put forward a lot of tempting conditions, with the position of the head of the family and the history of the assassin, then, will you really not cooperate with the Changchuan Yi family?" ”

------Off topic------

Yesterday's update caused the first paragraph to be a bit repetitive because I misremembered the nodes of the broken chapter, and later deleted the duplicate part and added a few hundred words. If you read it early yesterday, you may feel a little unable to catch up with today's view, so remember to go back and look at the last part of yesterday's chapter.
