Chapter 543: Greeting
Seeing the back of the inner eunuch, Su Guifei's eyes flashed with a gleam. In the blink of an eye, he spoke with a smile.
For some reason, a trace of uneasiness arose inexplicably in Qingwan's heart, and in an instant, she stood up and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, the folk girl wants to go out to see the wolfberry, the temperature and time of making tea are particular, if it is wrong, the effect of the medicine will be halved." ”
"Well, it's rare for you to be so careful." The emperor nodded with satisfaction and motioned to Inner Supervisor Li: "You can take Miss Qing with you." ”
Qingwan went to the door, glanced at Su Guifei out of the corner of her eye, and saw her hands at her side, trembling slightly unnoticed, but her face was still smiling as usual.
"Miss Qing, please come here." Supervisor Li had already lifted the curtain himself.
Qingwan's heart was already very nervous, she didn't care about anything, and walked out quickly.
The room for the emperor to prepare tea is next door, only to see the tea stove, tea sets, tea leaves, etc., but there are not many people waiting, at this time there are only four palace maids, two small ones are boiling water underground, washing utensils, the other is holding tea, the oldest, named Ji Yue is cleaning wolfberries.
Although Qingwan didn't know much about the people here, she had seen this Jiyue before. When the little inner eunuch of the middle palace took them out of the palace gate, they met them on the small road, and the little inner eunuch was very respectful to Ji Yue, and Mrs. Zhu also told her that Ji Yue was the palace maid who served the emperor for the longest time and had always been deeply trusted.
"Miss Jiyue," Li Neijian said with a smile: "This is the Qing girl who diagnosed the emperor's pulse, and came to see this wolfberry." ”
"Oh," Ji Yue smiled kindly: "The slave maid is also the first time to get it, I don't know what the water temperature should be, when to put it in, and I asked the girl to advise." ”
"I've seen my sister," Qingwan hurriedly smiled: "I don't dare to call it advice, but I have a requirement in the medical book, so I came over and told my sister." ”
"Mingying, have you finished your tea? The cups were brought quickly. ”
The palace maid named Mingying had a long face, but her eyes were very sharp, and she hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, come here." ”
As he spoke, he took the tea leaves that had been divided. The other two little palace maids also washed and scalded the cups. Qingwan quickly wrote a few lines with the paper and pen in the house, and handed it over with a smile: "This is something that needs to be paid attention to when making tea with wolfberries, please take a look at my sister." ”
Ji Yue took it: "Thank you Miss Qing, if you have this in the future, the slave will do it." ”
Qingwan stood far away, and did not move, but watched the four palace maids brew the tea according to the list, and Ji Yue was ready to serve it herself.
Looking at Ji Yue's back, Qingwan's heart settled down a little: Maybe she was thinking too much?
It's too late, it's fast, just in this flash, Ji Yue's steady figure suddenly slipped on the soles of her feet, caught off guard, and fell heavily to the ground!
Fortunately, the carpet in this hall was very thick, and even if it fell, there was no sound, but the rest of the people were frightened, and rushed over, but they didn't dare to shout: "Sister Jiyue, are you okay?" ”
"Sister, you're not hot, are you?"
"It's okay," Ji Yue was shocked, her face was very pale, and she looked at the tea tray that was subconsciously thrown out in an instant: "It's not hot, but it's the tea"
"As long as the person isn't hurt." Qingwan helped her up: "It's too late to soak again." ”
"No need," Ming Ying had already walked to the table, and his subordinates didn't stop: "Fortunately, there are still some in the pot, I'll serve it, and hurry up to boil water here, ready to continue." ”
"Yes, yes," Eunuch Li was anxious and panicked: "You pour the tea and present it first, the emperor is still waiting!" ”
Mingying agreed repeatedly, and had already poured a few cups of tea again, put them in the tea tray and brought them out.
Her movements were extremely fast, and before Qingwan could say anything, the graceful back had disappeared at the door.
Qingwan's heart hung high again. In a panic, she subconsciously looked at the place where Ji Yue had slid, and suddenly, a small bead appeared in front of her eyes.
She took a step forward, picked up the beads as quickly as she could, clutched them tightly in her hands, and ran out the door before she could say anything.
"Hey, Miss Qing, you are" Supervisor Li beckoned from behind.
Qingwan couldn't take care of anything at this time, she only had one thought, hurry up! Come on!
Although it was only a wall, when she came to the next hall, Qingwan only felt out of breath, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that the Ninety-Five Supreme had just taken the tea handed over by Concubine Su and was about to put it in his mouth, Qingwan shouted desperately.
When the people in the temple heard this sudden sound, they were all astonished. Su Guifei immediately shouted: "Bold! Dare to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor! ”
"The emperor forgives his sins!" Qingwan rushed forward and took the teacup in the emperor's hand: "The folk girl just remembered"
As she spoke, she had already tried it in the tea with the short silver needle she had brought with her, but there was no change in the needle!
"Nonsense! What are you doing here? The Emperor's face sank.
Seeing this scene, the prince also panicked, and hurriedly said: "Father, there must be something about the Qing girl."
"I don't need you to interject!" The emperor glared at his son angrily, "Are you trying to kill the king?" ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not the people's daughter who wants to kill the king, but someone else!" Qingwan held the cup, knelt down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please see, if the people's daughter is one step late, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
Everyone's eyes looked at Qingwan's hand, only to see that on the white jade Nine Dragons Cup, the rim of the cup had changed color!
"What nonsense are you talking about here?" Concubine Su hurriedly said: "In front of the emperor, you dare to do this!" Come! Drag her out of Hongu! ”
"Concubine Su!" The queen spoke in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not your turn to give orders here, right?" Hongu is also here! ”
"The queen forgives her sins!" When Su Guifei heard this, she was excited, and she turned around and hurriedly said: "The concubine didn't mean to trespass, but it was an emergency, this woman from outside, I don't know what to do, and the concubine is also anxious, so she doesn't choose what to say, and asks the mother for forgiveness!" ”
"That's it, this palace knows that you are also kind," the queen said coldly.
Concubine Su Guifei secretly gritted her teeth, turned her face to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this woman is talking nonsense, the emperor must not"
"What's going on?" The prince had been staring at the cup, his face already darkened.
"Back to the prince," Qingwan said: "This cup changes color along the edge, which proves that there is medicine on it!" ”
"Medicine!" The prince's voice changed: "What do you say! How dare anyone be there," he was so frightened that he couldn't say the rest of his words.
The emperor's face also changed: "Bold! How dare you talk such nonsense! ”
Qingwan knelt down: "Your Majesty, the people don't dare to talk nonsense, the color change on this is the proof, please Emperor Shengjian!" ”
"Your Majesty! This is no small feat! The queen also knelt down: "Please inquire carefully immediately!" ”
"That's the tea this woman made with me just now!" Su Guifei also knelt down and pointed at Qingwan with her finger: "She must be ill-intentioned and plotting against her!" ”
"Come on, take this Qingwan down for me!" The emperor slapped the table and shouted, "Bring all the people who have just made tea!" ”
"Father!" The crown prince took two steps on his knees and tightly grabbed the emperor's robe: "For such an important matter, please ask my father to inquire carefully!" ”
"Back to the emperor," Qingwan had already thought of this: "The people's girl entered that room, but this tea was not made by the people's daughter, and it was served by someone else, so how can it be concluded that the people's daughter did it?" Please also ask the emperor to see it! ”
At this time, Ji Yue and the other four palace maids and Li Neijian also came out, all of them were like ashes, and they collapsed to the ground as soon as they came out.
"Say, what the hell is going on?" The emperor pointed to the inner eunuch Li who was kneeling on the ground.
Supervisor Li trembled, and told everything that happened to Fang Cai without saying a word.
All the people listened carefully with bated breath, and the more they listened, the worse their faces became.
"According to that, Miss Qing really didn't make tea?" The Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Miss Qing just wrote down all the methods on a piece of paper," Li Neijian hurriedly said: "It's all Ji Yue and a few of them!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Ji Yue hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave is wronged!" The slave and maid have followed the emperor for more than ten years, and they can show the sky, and there is absolutely nothing"
"The evidence is ironclad, you still dare to repay the debt!" Concubine Su Guifei rushed ahead of the emperor and said, "Don't make excuses!" You must have laid this poison! Father-in-law Li also said that from beginning to end, it was the tea you brewed, and no one else got it! Who else but you? ”
"Your Majesty! The slave is really wronged! Ji Yue couldn't cry, but she couldn't say anything.
"Concubine Su forgot?" Qingwan said coldly: "As Gonggong Li said, there is another person who has also touched the teacup!" ”
"Those two little palace maids are just washing the cups!" Su Guifei said: "Making tea is all done by Ji Yue!" And the poison is on the rim of the cup, if the cup has just been washed, and there are water stains, it cannot be poisoned! Unless you go to Jiyue and wipe the water marks on the cup, you will have a chance to poison! ”
"What Concubine Su said is really clear!" Qingwan sneered: "That's true, the two little palace maids didn't have a chance to poison, so you forgot?" There was another person, but she brought out the tea! But it's not Jiyue! ”
"You mean, Mingying," the queen looked to the ground.
"Your Majesty! Slaves and maids are wronged! Mingying also kowtowed heavily, "The slave didn't make tea"
"You didn't make tea, but today's tea was brought out by you!" Qingwan said sharply: "You dare to say that you haven't done anything? ”
Ming Ying was young in the end, and she trembled when she heard the words, and she was clearly seen by everyone.
"Back to the emperor, the people's daughter is not talking nonsense, but there is evidence here!" As she spoke, she unfolded her palm, and the small bead appeared in front of everyone.
"What is this?" The queen asked first.
"Back to the emperor, this is what the people's daughter picked up on the ground after Fang Cai Jiyue fell."
