Chapter 544: Speak in unison
Qingwan said: "This bead is an ornament in the palace, it must be on Mingying's body, right?" ”
"You talk nonsense! It's not mine! Mingying panicked and shouted loudly.
"Shut up!" The queen shouted: "What kind of place is this?" How can you be allowed to scream? The emperor has his own holy judgment, no matter how much he dares to talk more, this palace will punish him severely! ”
Mingying was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak again, but just whined and cried in a low voice.
"Please let the emperor know clearly," Qingwan said: "This bead has a double bird pattern, this kind of bead can only be worn by the palace maid, how can it be someone else's thing?" ”
Su Guifei wanted to speak, but when she heard the words, she swallowed it raw, and secretly clenched her hands into fists.
"Yes," the queen nodded, "it is indeed the thing of the palace maid." ”
"You're obviously planting!" Ming Ying's eyes were red: "Who knows if you took it from whom!" How can you say that I fell to the ground? ”
"This bead is also covered with blanket velvet, and it is not a little bit or two, it is precisely because of the shoes that it will roll so tightly, if you roll it on the blanket casually, the fluff is gently attached."
Mingying had nothing to say, and looked at Qingwan hatefully, almost swallowing her.
"But, how do you determine that it's Mingying?" The queen spoke slowly.
"Niangniang," Qingwan is particularly sensitive to the smell of cosmetics and the like: "This bead has been on the master's body for a long time, and it has been contaminated with the owner's fragrance, and it is clearly the smell of honey jasmine." Of the four people preparing tea today, only Mingying used honey jasmine! ”
As soon as these words came out, the two little palace maids were anxious to clear themselves, and they couldn't care so much, so they hurriedly kowtowed a few times, and said in unison: "Niangniang, Mingying only likes honey jasmine, never needs anything else, other palace maids can testify to this!" ”
Mingying's face was as gray as ashes, completely paralyzed on the ground, unable to say a word.
"It's you!" The emperor's tone made people shudder when they heard it: "Deliberately let Ji Yue slip, and then took the opportunity to poison me, wanting to murder Yu Zhen!" ”
"Your Majesty, this is really scary!" Su Guifei hurriedly said: "Such a person can't stay for a moment!" Stay for a moment longer, and the concubines will feel scared! Come! Pull her down immediately and beat her to death! ”
"Your Majesty! Queen Mother! Ming Ying trembled, and shouted hoarsely: "The slave and maid are also under the command of others!" It was Concubine Su who asked the slave to do this! ”
"You, you dare to talk nonsense when you die!" Su Guifei took a few steps forward and used all her strength to choke Ming Ying's throat.
"Your Majesty, you must be the master of your concubines!" Concubine Su immediately brought the rain and knelt down: "This slut still wants to frame his concubine, it's really heart-wrenching!" That tea was given to you by a concubine, how could it be poisoned? ”
"Father!" The fourth prince, who had been silent, also knelt down with a puff: "The mother concubine must have been wronged, please remember that the mother concubine has been loyal for many years, and you must not be deceived by this slut!" ”
Mingying's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked at Concubine Su angrily, but she couldn't tell clearly, and her anxious muscles swelled up.
Outside the hall, there was already an inner prison to pull her, but Mingying struggled desperately, looking at her unwillingly. "Ahh
"Let her go! Bring pen and paper! As soon as the emperor's words came out, Concubine Su's eyes froze.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor meant by asking for pen and paper.
"I remember that Ming Ying can write, let her write it down!"
Mingying's eyes were ecstatic, and after a moment, she brought the pen and paper, and she trembled her hands and wrote a large article.
Li Neijian presented it, and the emperor looked at it, his expression becoming colder and colder. The air in the temple seemed to be dripping into ice, and it was about to condense.
"You all go down first." After a long time, the emperor read the confession several times before a few words burst out from between his teeth.
"Yes." Everyone agreed, rubbed their knees that were already kneeling, and slowly stood up, not even crying, several palace maids were temporarily imprisoned by the inner prison, and the rest of the people withdrew one after another.
Concubine Su Guifei walked at the end, and her steps were unusually steady: "Emperor, come here, the concubine has something to say to you." ”
"This" The four princes originally followed the queen and the crown prince, planning to go to the imperial study together, but when they heard this, they looked back and were a little puzzled.
Concubine Su was already about to go to the side hall: "Emperor, don't you listen to your mother?" ”
"No, no," the fourth prince hurriedly distinguished, and glanced at the queen and the crown prince in embarrassment.
"Go ahead, you don't need to wait here. Your mother wants to talk to you alone. "The queen is gentle and authentic.
The fourth prince was full of confusion and saluted: "The minister will retire first." He walked over quickly and helped his mother: "Don't worry about that girl's nonsense!" Wait a minute, Erchen has to cut off her tongue with his own hands! ”
"Come with my mother." Concubine Su Guifei pulled her son tightly and soon entered the side hall.
A few people here entered the imperial study, and the queen only showed a slightly tired face at this time, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
"Miss Qing, thanks to you today," the prince said sincerely gratefully, "If it weren't for your carefulness and following you over to make tea, I'm afraid that this matter would not be clear anyway." ”
"The prince has won the prize." Qingwan smiled and said: "Heaven is clear, doing such a thing, sooner or later, it will not be able to hide it." ”
"I don't know what this warbler has written?" The prince was worried, pacing back and forth on the ground: "What does the father mean?" ”
"You just sit quietly, dangling like this, the head of this palace will be dizzy." The queen said: "Miss Qing said well, the truth of heaven is clear, whoever does the next thing, the bitter fruit will be tasted by himself after all." ”
"Yes," the prince realized his gaffe, "the retainer is just worried. ”
None of them spoke, and sat there quietly, their hearts hanging high.
After a long time, I suddenly saw Li Neijian coming: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor let you all go over." ”
The queen slowly stood up, and without saying a word, walked outside.
Qingwan and the crown prince followed behind, and before they could reach the outside of the palace, they heard a loud cry from inside: "Father, please spare the concubine!" She's just confused for a moment."
"Shut up! The evidence is conclusive, see what else she has to say! I have always believed in her so much! Even if your grandfather rebelled, I never added to it! That's how she repaid me! ”
"Your Majesty, now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing that the concubines can't say." Stepping into the palace door, I saw Su Guifei and the four princes kneeling on the ground, the four princes wept bitterly, and his mother was calm: "For so many years, your thoughts and concubines all know." Although you reuse the Su family, the concubine knows that you have always been jealous and always want to find an opportunity to get rid of it. In your eyes, the concubine is just a pawn that has to be played. Even if your mother's family rebelled, and you didn't add to the crime, it was just to keep me and contain the front line. Nowadays, it is I who have not done things well and misused such incompetent people. I have nothing to regret when the matter is revealed. I just can't help my father anymore. Success or failure depends on people, and I hope my father can do everything well. ”
"You poisonous woman!" The emperor trembled angrily: "You dare to speak for that traitor!" Someone comes, take Su Guifei down, and give Bai Aya immediately! ”
"Father! Father! "The throats of the four princes are dumb.
"Emperor, it's none of your business here," the emperor snapped, "If you are still sensible, don't intercede for your femme fatale mother!" ”
"Emperor, don't say anything." Su Guifei stood up and smiled miserably: "Promise your mother, you have to take care of yourself." ”
The fourth prince looked flustered, and frantically tried to grab his mother's clothes, but he threw himself into the air and fell to the ground.
"If it weren't for you, a slut, who was careless and took a bead from your body, how could you reveal a flaw, give someone a handle, and affect the palace?" Passing by Mingying, who was being held in inner prison, Concubine Su Guifei gritted her teeth and spit out a few words.
Ming Ying also stared at her with wide eyes, and her angry gaze seemed to be about to erupt into flames.
The four princes stood up slowly, as if they were stunned, and their steps staggered, one unsteady, and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the inner supervisor next to him was quickly supported, and the emperor waved his hand tiredly: "Send the fourth prince back first." He is not in good health, so he doesn't have to come out for a while. Tell the doctor to recuperate, when he recovers, it's not too late to go to school. ”
The four princes were unheard, just like puppets, let others support them, and stumbled outside.
"Your Majesty, what should you do with Mingying?" Supervisor Li asked cautiously.
"Do you need to ask me? Beat to death with sticks! ”
Supervisor Li hurriedly responded, signaling the little supervisor to immediately pull Mingying down. Ming Ying didn't say a word, and obediently took the inner prison to take him down.
"Your Majesty, since the matter has passed, it is finally a blessing in the sky, there is no danger, you don't have to worry about it anymore, let's rest for a while." The queen said with concern.
"You all go down, I want to be alone." The Emperor lay down facing inwards and said no more.
Seeing this, no one dared to say anything, saluted, and quietly retreated.
Out of the palace gate, the queen had no intention of going back, and looked inside twice, everyone was puzzled, and after a while, they saw Li Neijian hurriedly come out: "Say hello to the queen!" ”
"That's it, get up," the queen waved her hand lightly: "You should tell me carefully, how did the emperor know about Su Guifei?" ”
"Hui Niangniang," Seeing that there was no one left and right, Li Neijian said in a low voice: "The emperor brought Su Mo out of prison and asked him about Su Guifei's poisoning, he knew that Su Mo denied it at first, and then the emperor said that Su Guifei had confessed, so Su Mo couldn't stand this deception, so he told the matter as it was, it turned out that their family had already been designed, if there was a change, Su Guifei would stay in the palace, and then cooperate with her mother's family to harm the emperor." Only then did the emperor believe that Su Guifei was poisoned. ”
The queen bowed slightly: "It's the emperor in the end!" There is Lao Li's father-in-law, and the cold weather will call you out again. ”
