Chapter 102: Then search them all
After listening to Dong Nian's words, Chu Heng also understood what was going on.
Before this, Dong Nian was torturing those palace people, but unfortunately none of them confessed, they all refused to admit that they did it themselves, and they all killed a few people, and there was no way to turn around and investigate the origin of the ghost incense.
This check found out to Concubine Shi's head.
Shi Xuanyu knelt on the ground and shouted injustice: "It's really not the concubine who did it, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, and the concubine has no reason to harm the queen." ”
Tang Xinrou didn't speak at this time, just watched quietly.
She didn't know who poisoned her, she felt that it was Su Qingwan's hand, her logic was that if she attacked Su Qingwan, then her own poison should also be her doing, and she didn't need a basis or reason.
But the facts are more biased towards Shi Xuanyu, Shi Xuanyu is from Bozhou, and she has a chance to get poison.
Chu Heng said: "You didn't poison, what proof do you have?" ”
Shi Xuanyu looked terrified: "But, there is no evidence to prove that it was poisoned by the concubine, how could the concubine be poisoned, although the concubine's home is in Bozhou, but the concubine is just a concubine in the family, she has no power or money, and she knows few people. ”
She cried as she spoke, and her pretty face suddenly became more soft with pear blossoms and rain.
Chu Heng said: "Dong Nian went to search the palace, if he found that there was still a ghost incense in the palace, then there was no need to say anything." ”
The Netherworld Incense is all in a small bottle, and the poison in it is enough to poison a hundred families, and the one smeared on the queen's cup is not enough for a drop, there must be leftovers.
Dong went to search the palace a year ago, and Chaofeng Palace was quiet, only Xuanyu sobbed quietly.
After a while, Su Qingwan's stomach rang, and her face was full of shame: "It's the concubine who is rude." ”
"Concubine Ai hasn't eaten a few bites in Yushu Palace, let's eat here, Sui'an, let people prepare some lighter dishes." Chu Heng immediately said with concern.
Su Qingwan glanced at the queen and refused: "This is not in accordance with the rules, the concubine will go back to eat later." ”
Tang Xinrou suddenly spoke: "What's wrong, the emperor has spoken, my sister will stay and eat together, Sister Yun will also eat together, Concubine Shi's words, there is still no conclusion, and I will eat together." ”
Her smiling appearance shocked everyone present, and they thought that the queen had suddenly lost her mind.
Although Chu Heng was dissatisfied with her attitude, he didn't say anything.
She's at least better at this than she's going to chase people out openly.
Su Qingwan said: "The concubine has thanked the queen." ”
I don't know if it was intentional or not, during the banquet, Chu Heng communicated with her a lot, and said a lot of things to make her happy, but he snubbed Tang Xinrou and others.
Tang Xinrou will not be angry anymore, it is already like this, why bother with herself!
didn't wait long, Dong Nian came back with someone.
"Back to the emperor, I haven't searched for the ghost incense."
"The emperor should trust the concubine this time." Shi Xuanyu said busily.
"It's just that I didn't find the Nether Incense in the Xihua Palace, maybe this poison is hidden on you." Tang Xinrou, who calmed down, began to fight back, whether it was Su Qingwan or Shi Xuanyu, she couldn't let her go if she dared to poison her.
Since sometimes Xuan Yu is suspicious, then lock her first, she is not a good thing anyway! I remove it, and I can make it less of an eyesore.
Chu Heng said: "What the queen said makes sense, let people search their bodies." ”
Even if he doesn't love the queen anymore, the old love is still there, and the queen's dignity must be taken into account, so he can do what he wants, and he can't spare the poisoner.
In his opinion, there is a high probability that it is Shi Xuanyu's hand, if it weren't for Concubine Shu here, he would have ordered someone to torture him strictly.
Shi Xuanyu said angrily: "Your Majesty, if there is no poison on the concubine, does it prove that the concubine did not do it?" "Let's read the book
Chu Heng squinted and wanted to reprimand.
Su Qingwan said: "Your Majesty, this interrogator must always have real evidence, maybe the concubine was framed by someone, and she needs to think twice." ”
Tang Xinrou covered her mouth and chuckled: "When did Concubine Shu have such a good relationship with Concubine Shi, could it not be that Concubine Shu helped Concubine Shi poison the palace together, maybe the poison was hidden in the Yushu Palace, the palace just heard that the three of you have to have lunch and let people guard the door, it's really self-defeating." ”
Su Qingwan was not in a hurry, and dealt with it easily: "The queen has to think more before she speaks, the concubines are just whispering to the concubines, women, there are always little secrets that are embarrassed to let others hear." ”
Tang Xinju: "Then you don't need to let people guard the door, it's so cautious, and it's not discussing how to poison." ”
Chu Heng said: "Concubine Ai was talking to them at that time, you might as well say it, even if there is something wrong, I don't blame it." ”
He believed that the poisoning had nothing to do with Su Qingwan, and he didn't want Su Qingwan to be suspected.
Su Qingwan hesitated.
Yun Caiqing, who had been out of the state, said: "The emperor really wants to listen here, so many people are afraid that it is not appropriate." ”
Tang Xinrou said toughly: "Is there anyone else here, although it is said that if someone dares to chew the root of his tongue, he will pull out his tongue." ”
She coldly swept over the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall, and they all lowered their heads, eager to cover their ears and close their eyes.
Su Qingwan lowered her voice, leaned against Chu Heng's ear and said, "The concubine is talking to the concubine about the emperor's ...... when you are in bed."
The sound was small, but the people who should have heard it heard it.
After only saying the words for a while, everyone present understood, and Su Qingwan blushed with shame.
Yun Caiqing didn't expect her to say this, and she didn't know where to put her eyes in embarrassment.
Chu Heng didn't know what expression to show, he was still a little shocked, looking at the gentle Concubine Shu discussing these things with Concubine Shi.
Speaking of which, Concubine Shi is really good in that regard.
The two of them have their own strengths, if they can be together.
He stopped the idea of such absurdity and lewdness in time.
Su Qingwan bit her red lips and said coquettishly: "The emperor knows now, if such a thing spreads, the concubine will not live." ”
"It's all about private matters, why should the queen ask so clearly." Su Qingwan glanced at the queen complainingly.
Tang Xinrou was speechless, she didn't expect it to be such a shy answer, Su Qingwan even said it.
"Even if this is the case, you still have to search your body, and Yushu Palace will also have to check it." Tang Xinrou still insisted on her idea.
Chu Heng said: "Take the concubine down, there is no need to search the Yushu Palace." ”
Tang Xinju: "Your Majesty! This is investigating assassins, isn't the emperor afraid that someone will hide the poison in the Yushu Palace, and it will be eaten by the concubine by mistake when the time comes. ”
She knew that she couldn't harm Su Qingwan, so she could drag one by one, Shi Xuanyu must die, she went to Yushu Palace in the past two days, except for being in Xihua Palace, the poison was not on her, so she could only be in Yushu Palace.
Su Qingwan said: "The queen is right, it is better for the emperor to let all palaces and halls be searched, which can also make people feel at ease." ”
Chu Heng patted her hands: "Just do what Concubine Ai said, Dong Nian, you and Shan Yuan will do this together." ”
Yun Caiqing was shocked.
Several people looked at her, and she said, "Don't take away the sword in my palace, otherwise the concubine will have nothing to do when she is idle." ”
She said this deliberately, which was considered to ease the atmosphere, and the emperor had already acquiesced to her practicing swords in the palace.
