Chapter 57: Hiding a knife in a smile
In the imperial study, the emperor looked at the folds sent by Fu Yin, his eyebrows gradually frowned, and his face became more and more ugly.
Gonggong Li was on the side, and when he saw the emperor's shocked face, his brows furrowed slightly.
The emperor has always been calm, what did he see to be so angry?
"Ridiculous!"
"Drive the Fengling Palace."
Gonggong Li's eyebrows jumped, has something to do with the Queen Mother?
The Emperor stood up, and strode out of the imperial study with a cold breath.
-
Previously, in the Fengling Palace.
The Queen Mother, Empress Su, Concubine Xu, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Hui all gathered here.
Xu Guifei wore a swagger, a bright red festive dress, faintly overwhelmed the queen, and said that in the palace, the distinction between respect and inferiority is particularly obvious, and now it seems that it is all by virtue of the emperor's favor, and in addition, there is a favored fourth prince under his knees, who is rampant in the harem.
The Queen Mother glanced at Xu Guifei, a pair of cloudy eyes flashed a trace of displeasure, this face is somewhat similar to someone, if not, the emperor would not favor her alone, even the queen, it is just in vain!
Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui were more obedient, sitting there with their eyebrows and eyes lowered, looking respectful.
The beautiful sandalwood fragrance wafted in the air, but it did not make people feel calm, but the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
Especially Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui, they didn't know what was going on.
"The Four Princes have arrived."
A few people raised their eyes, and a personable man walked from outside the hall, followed by a delicate woman.
"The imperial grandmother is a thousand years old, the queen mother is a thousand years old, and the mother concubine is a thousand years old." He bowed to a few people and stood beside Xu Guifei.
Rong Ran also saluted a few people.
"Miss Rong is here too."
Rong Ran smiled lightly, and said, "I miss the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine." ”
The girl's mouth was sweet, which made the Queen Mother grin, "You have a heart." ”
Jiang Wumian and Ye Qingwan had just sat in the sedan chair at this time and walked towards the palace.
The two of them were late, and by the time they arrived at Fengling Palace, everyone was already a little impatient.
"King Wei has such a big face, even the mourning family has to wait here?" The Queen Mother sneered, her eyes fell on Jiang Wumian's face, obscure.
"Erchen is unwell, if there is anything wrong with the Queen Mother, solve it as soon as possible." Jiang Wumian spoke, sat straight aside, leaned back in the chair lazily, and looked insignificant.
The appearance of no one in her eyes made the Queen Mother almost bite her silver teeth, and glanced at him hatefully.
"Good!" The Queen Mother picked up the list of people handed over by the officials on the side, threw it directly to the ground, and her voice was gloomy: "The mourning family wants to ask, what kind of grudge this Doctor Ye has with these people." ”
"Not a single live mouth?"
The queen and others who didn't know what was going on were slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at the list on the ground, densely packed with names, if what the queen mother said was true, it would be too ruthless.
The queen stared at Jiang Wumian for a while, as if she wanted to see something from him.
Jiang Wumian raised his eyes, and the deep bottom of his eyes reflected the queen's graceful and luxurious face.
The queen was shocked, but she didn't show her face, and looked away without a trace.
Ye Qingwan hadn't moved since she stood there, she took two steps forward, picked up the list of people on the ground, and her eyes swept over, but the investigation was very comprehensive, and there were many people who died.
"When you enter the palace of the king of Wei, what kind of heart do you have? Ruthless, in vain as a doctor! The Queen Mother's chest rose and fell slightly, and her eyes looked at Ye Qingwan as if she had spat poison, and her eyes were full of hideousness.
Jiang Jingyao and Rong Ran, who were standing on the side, looked at each other the same, and they both saw a look of smugness in each other's eyes.
"Come on, put Doctor Ye into the prison for the mourning family, and ask for beheading after the autumn!" The Queen Mother's angry voice landed, the hall was quiet, and no one came in.
Ye Qingwan hung her head, the hair on her forehead hung down, covering her eyes, she was already wearing a mask, and at this time, it was even more difficult to see the expression on her face.
Silence bordered on indifference.
"Someone!" The Queen Mother shouted again.
At this moment, Jiang Wumian, who had been staying out of the matter, suddenly spoke, the wind was light, and there was a hint of evil nature: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to work in vain, the guards outside have been broken up by this king." ”
The Queen Mother's pupils trembled, and she looked at Jiang Wumian in disbelief, "Bold, this is the Imperial Palace, not your Imperial Palace!" Who gives you the right! Don't rely on the emperor to favor you, you dare to be unscrupulous in the palace of the mourning family, the emperor favors you, and the mourning family does not indulge you! ”
"Someone ——! coming"
"This king has said it, there is no one outside, even if you shout at the Queen Mother, half of the people will not come in." arrogant, evil, every word is domineering to the extreme, as if he is the master of this palace, without any regard for the majesty of the queen mother.
The Queen Mother stared at Jiang Wumian deadly, eager to poke a hole in him.
Although the concubines had long known Jiang Wumian's temperament, they didn't expect to be so polite when they came to the palace!
"Sixth brother, how can you be so unruly?" On the side, Jiang Jingyao couldn't stand it anymore, and spoke in a deep voice.
"When did this king keep the rules?" These words were extremely perverse, making Jiang Jingyao's face black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the concubines had different expressions on their faces.
After being silent for a long time, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded.
"Doctor Ye? It is said that you are a miracle doctor, in this case, the word miracle doctor is quite unworthy of the name? ”
"These are just ordinary people, who don't know what the divine doctor did to kill them overnight?"
"Do you know that if you kill someone in Yunling City, you have to cut off your head?"
"Or ...... Isn't Doctor Ye's behavior like this because he has the support of King Wei behind him, so he is so unscrupulous? ”
Xu Guifei suddenly spoke, her soft and weak voice, but there was a needle hidden in it, she didn't accuse Jiang Wumian, but between her words, it vaguely seemed to mislead people somewhere.
The already dull atmosphere is even more solemn at this time.
And Jiang Wumian just sat there lightly, with a handsome and unparalleled face, without any expression, without waves.
"This palace believes that Doctor Ye didn't mean to kill these people, I wonder if Doctor Ye can give an explanation?" Xu Guifei slowly swallowed her mouth.
"What do you think?" Ye Qingwan suddenly raised her head and stared at Xu Guifei.
Xu Guifei was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It depends on what Doctor Ye says, after all, there is only one life." ”
The threat of a knife is hidden in the smile.
"No matter who kills these people, they will be dealt with by national law, right?"
"Yes."
"Regardless of identity?"
"No matter what." Although I didn't know why Ye Qingwan asked this, Xu Guifei still answered them one by one.
Rarely, she and the Queen Mother stood on the same line.
Now, whether it is the crown prince or Jiang Jingyao, the biggest enemy is Jiang Wumian.
The pampering he received made everyone envious and jealous.
I can't wait to get rid of it soon!
"Queen Mother, I brought some people over, just right, confront them face to face!" Under the mask, Ye Qingwan bent her lips slightly, with a hint of cunning, it's a pity that these people can't see it.
Jiang Jingyao frowned slightly, and inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart, he subconsciously looked at Rong Ran who was standing beside him, and asked with his eyes.
Rong Ran shook his head slightly.
She believed they wouldn't have any proof!
Although Ye Qingwan said so, she didn't give the Queen Mother a chance to answer her at all, and the five people were directly pressed up.
Ye Qingwan looked at the five people, her eyes fell on a person in broken clothes, and the tears in the corners of her eyes made her look sluggish.
How did he end up here?
It was the first time for several people to see such a scene, and the atmosphere in the hall was as cold as a wind passing through it, and they knelt on the ground and shivered.
The young man raised his head slightly, and saw a person wearing a gorgeous dress on the main seat, wearing a phoenix hairpin, squinting his eyes, holding a high position all the year round, and having an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
The boy hurriedly lowered his head and shrank his body, looking really frightened.
Ye Qingwan's gaze swept over the young man, and turned to look at Jiang Wumian.
And Jiang Wumian just held the teacup, sipping it as if he was nothing, and from time to time he ate a bite of the pastry on the table, looking like he was out of the way.
Ye Qingwan had to turn his head again, his eyes swept over the faces of Rong Ran and Jiang Jingyao, and sure enough, the faces of both of them were slightly stiff.
The Queen Mother stared at the five people below and said majestically: "Who are you?" ”
"Untouchables, untouchables are the father of the deceased Zhao Chuan, the Queen Mother, you must be the master of the untouchables, the untouchables' son, the unjust death!" The old man's eyes were cloudy, his body was thin, his cheeks were sunken, his clothes were tattered, and he looked extremely miserable.
The Queen Mother frowned in disgust.
"Uncle Zhao, why don't you tell me first, how was Zhao Chuan poisoned?"
Ye Qingwan asked coldly.
Rong Ran stood on the side and pursed her lips slightly, she didn't know any of these people, and her heart, which had been relieved, was re-hung because of Ye Qingwan's question.
Seven up and eight down, so grinding!
But without waiting for Uncle Zhao to speak, a cold male voice came over first: "These people, I don't know where you found you to exonerate you, there is no evidence, how credible is what this person said?" ”
Jiang Jingyao stared at Ye Qingwan, that small body, those eyes that were exposed, the more he looked, the more familiar he became, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had encountered it.
Inexplicably irritable.
Xu Guifei continued: "Yes, Doctor Ye, what Jing Yao said is not unreasonable, these people will not be convincing." ”
Ye Qingwan said calmly: "Don't listen, aren't these people too wronged to die?" ”
"If you want to punish the murderer, how can you rely on just this list?"
"You only know that I once gave them medicine, but you don't know that before this, these people were all poisoned and dying, so you don't want to hear why these living people were poisoned?"
"If I don't understand things clearly, then wouldn't I be very wronged?" Ye Qingwan's voice was unwavering, and the words he said were irrefutable.
