The one hundred and eighth round
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was furious, and pointed with her hand, "Say, who instructed you to come and murder the emperor, from the truth, if there is half a lie, the mourning family will definitely punish you nine clans!"
The little palace maid has seen this kind of battle before, not to mention that she didn't put any flattering medicine in the dim sum at all, she was so frightened that her face was colorless, her soul was not possessed, she fell to her knees with a "plop", her whole body was soft, and she couldn't say anything about begging for mercy, "No, no, no, no...... The slave didn't, didn't do it......"
"Still refuse to admit it?" the Queen Mother laughed angrily, "Say, where are you waiting, and what is your name?"
"Slave maid...... Slave maid rain and rain spirit, just ...... Just waiting on this Taiji hall...... "Yu Ling trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head." It was because he was waiting in this hall that he knew Murong Jun's preferences and brought his favorite dim sum, but who would have thought ......
She said this, the Queen Mother remembered it, yes, this Yu Ling was indeed a few days ago, she personally selected it, and waited in the Tai Chi Palace, she had been diligent in her hands and feet, and there was nothing wrong with it, what happened today, is it that Yu Ling is confused, and she wants to harm the Lord?
At this time, the four ministers also knew that the matter was not trivial, Nan Zhengyan thought about it for a while, and immediately said with great righteousness and awe, "The Queen Mother, murdering the monarch is a capital crime, the Queen Mother must find out, arrest the person behind the scenes, and impose capital punishment, which cannot be tolerated, so as to ensure the prosperity of my Dayan!"
Taifu Mingzhi and Nan Zhengyan have always been at odds, and they have never been able to see him proud, so he said disdainfully, "The Prime Minister's words are exaggerated, according to the old man, it's just that this little girl has bad intentions and wants to ask for Holy Grace, so she took such an unpopular drug, what can be the instructive behind it, is the Prime Minister suspicious of anyone?"
Nan Zhengyan glanced back at him, and said with a smile, "What does Master Taifu mean, there is no mastermind behind this matter, this little girl did it alone?" Then her courage is really not small, she dares to move the emperor's mind, and she is on par with some people." ”
Ming Zhixi's face changed, and he said angrily, "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this? If you have something to say, why do you insinuate and scold Huai!"
"Lord Taifu is angry, I don't mean anything else," Nan Zhengyan raised his eyebrows, quite proud, "I'm just talking about things, why is Lord Taifu angry like this, you haven't done anything wrong, why did you listen to all the good things crookedly?"
"You-"
"Okay," Seeing that the two of them had not yet come to a head when they quarreled, the Queen Mother was a little displeased, and waved her hands on both sides, "The mourning family knows that the two Aiqing are both for the sake of the interests of the emperor and the Great Yan Kingdom, since everyone has the same purpose, why quarrel so much! ”
Since the Queen Mother opened her mouth, Nan Zhengyan and Ming Zhixi didn't say anything more, and said "The Queen Mother forgives her sins" and sat back, but she was just proud, and her beard shook angrily.
Everyone knows that the four ministers have always been fighting openly and secretly, and they don't feel new when they see them arguing. Murong Ye frowned coldly, except for the Taishi Tang Haoxuan, who was upright and respected by him, the other three, including Nan Zhengyan, all made him feel disdainful, so he didn't bother to say much.
On the other side, the rain spirit fell on the ground, shaking like a leaf in the wind and rain, begging for mercy incoherently, "The slave and maid have no ...... Slaves deserve to die...... Slave ......"
"Queen Mother, Rong Chen's daughter, ask Yu Ling a few words, okay?" Nan Xueyu looked at her father and Ming Zhixi, and sneered secretly: The battle between the four ministers is becoming more and more superficial, but the more this is the case, the more beneficial it is to the night, and she has to make good use of it.
The Queen Mother had a cold face and bowed slightly, "Okay, you come and ask." "It turned out that Xue Yu found out that something was wrong, and it was better for her to ask clearly.
"Empress Dowager Xie," Nan Xueyu turned around and said in a cold voice, "Yuling, did you bring this snack all the way from the imperial dining room?"
"......" Yu Ling was still grunting, not hearing her words.
"Yuling!" Nan Xueyu frowned, "This is your last chance, if you don't tell the truth, I will report to the Queen Mother, and then not only you, but your family will also die in Huangquan, think clearly!"
"The slave didn't!" Yu Ling shook his head and woke up instantly, "The slave didn't do it! Miss Xue Yu, you believe the slave, the slave didn't-"
"Then answer my question just now, did you bring this snack all the way from the imperial dining room without anyone else's hands on the way?" Nan Xueyu looked at her coldly and asked again.
"Yes...... Yes," Yu Ling wiped a handful of tears and forced herself to calm down, "It was brought by the slave maid, no, no one else, but the slave didn't drug at all...... "Even if she was given ten guts, she wouldn't dare to murder the emperor, and what kind of flattering medicine was this, she had never seen it, so where could she get it?"
Nan Xueyu thought thoughtfully, "Then, have you met someone or any accident on the way, you have to think about it carefully, and you can't let go of any small thing!" Since the people in the imperial dining room did not take the drug, and Yu Ling was temporarily excluded, there was only one explanation: that something else happened on the way, giving the murderer a chance, which was the only possibility she had thought of so far.
Murong Ye's eyes changed, cold and with some appreciation: Xue Yu is really smart enough to think of this, and it seems that she didn't believe that this matter was done by Yu Ling in the first place, so she was able to make a judgment calmly, not bad.
"Slave ......" Yu Ling bit her lip and thought desperately, but she had already been scared stupid, her brain was blank, more like she was frozen, for a while, where could she remember!
Everyone's attention was on Nan Xueyu, Nan Xuerong peeked at Murong Yao, and said in her heart that there was a flattering medicine in her heart, could it be another plan of Brother Yao? Unfortunately, it still didn't work out, and it was destroyed by Nan Xueyu, a slut, it was really hateful! However, when she looked at her, Murong Yao suddenly glanced at her, and glanced at Nan Xueyu again, as if she meant something.
Nan Xuerong is not as smart as her sister, and she didn't care about it for a while.
Stupid! Murong Yao scolded secretly, and said in his heart, don't you understand, Nan Xueyu made it clear that she was going to target this king, maybe she was already suspecting that it was this king's doing, so she had to investigate to the end, if you don't hurry up and find a way to stop it, in the end, it will be troublesome if this king is involved? He glanced at Nan Xueyu again, his face full of anger.
Nan Xuerong roughly understood something, nodded, and suddenly spoke, "Third sister, have you messed around enough? Such a major matter should have been handed over to the Criminal Department for trial, but you are talking nonsense here, if something goes wrong, how can you explain to the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"
Everyone didn't expect that the first person to speak would be the newly named Concubine De, and they all looked at the past, and said in their hearts, which one of the two sisters sang, one with a red face and the other with a white face, what do you want?
Nan Xueyu turned around, and when she saw her expression, she knew that she was covering up for Murong Yao, and smiled indifferently, her eyes were sharp, "Second sister...... No, thank you Concubine De for mentioning it, I have my own measure, and Concubine De doesn't need to say much. ”
"You-" Nan Xuerong suddenly felt that her face was irrelevant, and she almost scolded angrily! What a Nan Xueyu, since she knows that I am Concubine De, and my identity is superior to you, it is too much to dare to talk to me in such a big tone!
In fact, why should she be so angry, Nan Xueyu didn't even pay attention to Murong Yao, let alone kill her eldest sister! This is just the beginning, what really makes her uncomfortable is still to come.
"Concubine De, it was the mourning family who asked Xue Yu to ask clearly, so you don't have to say much," the Queen Mother was obviously very dissatisfied with Nan Xuerong's horizontal intervention, and waved her hand with a straight face, "You sit down, Xue Yu will definitely be able to find out." ”
Nan Xue Rong gritted her teeth angrily, and the Queen Mother's words had to be listened to, so she could only barely suppress her anger, "Yes, the Queen Mother, the concubine is rude, and the Queen Mother forgives her sins." After that, he sat back and glanced at Murong Yao quickly: It's not that I don't help you, with the Queen Mother supporting Nan Xueyu, I can't help it.
Useless woman! Murong Yao hated to turn his face away, and he didn't even look at her.
Nan Xueyu sneered silently and turned around, "Yuling, have you thought of it?" If there is no accident, then I can't help you-"
"Ah, the slave maid remembered!" Yu Ling's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he finally returned to his normal thinking, and shouted in surprise inexplicably, "Yes, there is one thing, but the slave maid didn't expect something to happen, so she didn't care...... That's it, it's Sister Binghai, on the way over with snacks, she came over and said a few words to the slave. ”
"Binghai?" A strange light flashed in Nan Xueyu's eyes, very good, it seems that the key to the problem is here!" "Who is it, and where are you waiting?"
"It's the slave's sister, she usually talks and talks, it's good, she is outside to sweep the courtyard, and she hardly comes to the palace," Yu Ling frowned, "so she can't hurt the slave maid, it shouldn't be her......"
It's too early to tell. Nan Xueyu hooked her lips, "Then what she said to you and what she did, don't let go of any details, make it clear." ”
"Yes," Yu Ling shuddered, and hurriedly said while recalling, "The slave maid walked halfway, and Sister Binghai came over, saying, 'Yuling, send snacks to the Taiji Palace', and the slave said, 'Yes, today is a celebration of the concubine, everyone is here, the Queen Mother has already ordered that the emperor's favorite dim sum will be sent over first, I don't dare to make a mistake', Sister Binghai smiled and said, 'That's right, otherwise the emperor would be bored'......"
It's a bit disrespectful to say this, because everyone knows that Murong Jun doesn't like this kind of occasion the most, and he can't sit still at all, the Queen Mother has no choice but to take the food he is interested in, or something fun to appease him, although everyone knows it, but it is always indecent to say it in public like this. If Yu Ling didn't want to save his life, he wouldn't dare to speak out.
