Chapter 549: Ask for a reward by the way
549
After Eunuch Cao was brought up, Concubine Xu couldn't sit still at all.
"Isn't this Cao Xi?" The queen said: "Why did he poison Yining? ”
Not only did the queen know, but others also knew that this Cao Xi was the person in front of Xu Zhixi.
So everyone's eyes looking at Xu Guifei became flickering, and most people might have thought that the queen couldn't hold back and attacked Concubine Zeng Li.
But now that I want to come to Xu Guifei, it is not without motives, after all, she was the most favored woman in this harem before.
Now once you fall out of favor, jealousy and hatred will inevitably arise in your heart.
Cao Xi's fat body knelt there, his head touched the ground, and his buttocks were pouting high, looking very funny.
But he couldn't care about these at this time, he cried bitterly, and said "the slave doesn't dare anymore".
The emperor was annoyed by his crying, his brows furrowed, Qu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and kicked Cao Xi's ass, and scolded: "What's the ghost called?!" Don't hurry up and explain what you've done! ”
Cao Xi is a person with big ambitions and stupid heads, but his bones are soft, Xu Zhixi really doesn't know how to use people, so he chose him as a pawn.
Yesterday, he bought off a eunuch in the house and poisoned Wei Yining's meal. The peculiarity of this poison is that it is colorless and odorless, and even if it is placed in a meal, it will volatilize after half an hour and leave no traces.
He originally wanted to make Wei Yining look like he committed suicide in fear of sin, he had calculated that this kind of measurement would be used on people, and it would take half an hour before he would die of poison.
But he did a lot of calculations, and he didn't expect Wei Yining to test the poison with mice.
When Qu Qing found him, if he denied it, there might be room for maneuver, but he himself was scared first, and he confessed to the bottom of the truth.
Qu Qing was frightened, and thought that he was so happy because he was coerced!
Later, I re-examined the person involved in the world, and when I saw that there was nothing suspicious, I was sure that he was indeed not lying.
"Bastard thing! Who made you do that?! Xu Guifei's eyes widened angrily and asked Cao Xi loudly.
"Niangniang spares her life, yes, it was the slave who came up with the idea and wanted to get rid of Wei Yining, so that she could fight with Miss Xu for the prince's concubine. But Miss Xu doesn't know this, it's all my own opinion. Although Cao Xi was a coward, he knew at this time that it could not be said that Xu Zhixi instructed him.
Anyway, he is already finished, there is no need to pull Xu Zhixi into the water again, otherwise how could the Xu family take a break!
"I don't think so!" The queen doesn't want to be a good person at this time, her prestige has been damaged again and again, if she is still as good as usual, I am afraid that someone will try to mistreat in the future.
"I don't know if someone is afraid of finding out the truth, so they deliberately poisoned Yining to death, making it a false impression that they committed suicide in fear of crime, so that we can have a hard time arguing and be wronged by Huluti!"
"Queen Mother, do you mean that I am behind the scenes?!" Xu Guifei sneered and took it: "It's not good, if I really want to do it, will I send such a useless waste?!" ”
When Wei Yining heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Yes, if you want to kill me, you will definitely send Ding Inner Prison.
Sure enough, when it comes to personal interests, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp.
The emperor had to cough to make both sides stop.
At this time, the people who went to the pulp washing bureau came back, and Qu Qing's apprentice and several eunuchs escorted a palace maid in, who was responsible for cleaning small items such as sweat towels and sachets for the ladies.
The Pulp Washing Bureau also has an account book, which records the people on duty each day and the details of the laundry delivered.
After checking all the way, it was this person who was responsible for cleaning Zeng Lifei's clothes that day.
"Hurry up and explain! Freedom from the pain of flesh and skin. Qu Qing saw the expression of this palace maid and knew that she couldn't get out of it.
Compared with Qu Qing, this palace maid neither cried nor begged for mercy, but was proud and tall.
"Since you've caught me, I don't have anything to say." The palace maid sneered: "I did it. ”
"Tell me who you are instructed by!" The emperor asked himself.
"No one instructed me." The palace maid protested: "I did this alone. ”
"What kind of grudge do you have against Concubine Li, a rough envoy?" The emperor was puzzled.
"She is a Daji who has brought disaster to the country and the people! Everybody gets it! The palace maid said loudly: "People like her will die sooner or later!" ”
When these words came out, everyone present was shocked, you must know that there are few people who dare to say such things in front of the emperor from ancient times to the present, but this little palace maid has such a big courage.
Concubine Zeng Li's face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't commit suicide with shame and hatred to thank the world.
When the emperor saw her like this, how could he let this palace maid speak again? shouted directly: "Pull it out and cut it!" ”
The palace maid didn't beg for mercy either, and was pushed out with a sneer.
After such a fuss, the queen and Xu Guifei didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear of angering the emperor.
"Pull this Cao Xi out and cut it down, what do you want him to do!" The emperor said in a deep voice: "Although Xu Zhixi doesn't know, she can't escape the blame. Send her out of the palace tomorrow, and don't come again. ”
Xu Guifei listened, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.
The emperor is already saving face for the Xu family by doing this, and Xu Guifei knows how to stop in moderation.
"Wei Yining, this time you have been wronged," the emperor eased up, and his tone became a little better: "Today, early in the morning, Mrs. Xiao also mentioned you to me, saying that you are an extremely rare girl." Before you defended the second prince, I felt that you were a calm and calm person, and this time you were locked up for two days and one night, and you were still calm and calm, which is really impressive. Now that you have been proven innocent, do you need any compensation? ”
Everyone focused their eyes on Wei Yining, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"Thank you Your Majesty for the compliment, Yi Ning is ashamed." Wei Yining saluted and said, "Yining doesn't dare to ask for compensation, but if Your Majesty doesn't mind agreeing to a small request from me, it will be even better." ”
Wei Yining's words were very decent, and the emperor's mood was much better because of this, so he replied: "Say it!" ”
"I want this musk," Wei Yining pointed to the tray where the purse was put and said: "It's a pity that such a precious thing is thrown away, Concubine Li can't use it, but my grandmother likes musk very much, Yining wants to take this back to her grandmother, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"It's just such a small request, you can take it." The emperor's brows were completely relaxed: "Originally, I wanted people to take it out and destroy it, since you don't dislike it, I'll give it to you!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Yining slowly gave another salute.
Zeng Lifei's blue eyes flashed, and there was a hint of discoloration in the sparkling light, although it was brief and slight, it still allowed Wei Yining to catch it.
