Chapter 522: Words are conclusive
The entire Taiji Hall looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the same time.
Yan Rongling groaned slightly, got up and said to Emperor Hong Zheng: "Father, the former sons went out to breathe, and the palace maids of the Qi nobles were like children, and they intended to assassinate the sons and daughters in full view. After Xiao Wuzi took it, Erchen had already ordered him to be sent to the Shen Criminal Division for strict interrogation. ”
After saying Ru'er, Yan Rongling explained again: "As for Xiao Chengzi, I was a little worried when I saw Mingzhu leave the table just now, so let him ask Mingzhu about the situation." ”
In this way, Yan Rongling is equivalent to admitting that Ru'er was arrested by him, and many people are talking about it.
Gu Fanghua knew in her heart that Ru'er must have been bribed and wanted to coax Brother Rong Ling. As a result, Rong Ling's brother saw through it and was arrested.
"Grandmother, just now Jiaojiao and I were blowing the wind outside to sober up, and Concubine Li's palace maid came to tell me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an accident and wanted to trick me into going to the small attic. Fortunately, Jiaojiao saw through it, and I came back quickly. “
The people who originally attended the Queen Mother's birthday banquet today learned that Xiao Yao, the Marquis of Yingyi, had a marriage contract with Yuan Yunwen, which was already an explosive gossip.
Unexpectedly, this is really just the beginning.
Soon it was the dragon fetus that was killed, the palace people testified against the prince, the prince was offended, and Princess Mingzhu was almost deceived.
Some old fritters began to string together today's events, and different people have different understandings. For now, we can only focus on the temple and see which way things develop.
Emperor Hong Zheng had learned that Yan Rongling had won Ru'er before, but now the cigarettes are conclusive, and it is not easy to protect each other openly.
Empress Dowager Zhong said with concern: "Mingzhu, are you okay?" ”
"Back to my grandmother, Mingzhu is fine. It's just that this person keeps saying that he is the person of Concubine Li, and Mingzhu is still a little confused. ”
Empress Dowager Zhong smiled coldly, although she was already old, she still had a graceful and luxurious face, and her wise eyes shot at the few people on the concubine table.
"Okay, the mourning family is still strange, the palace people of the virtuous concubine accuse the prince, and the palace people of the concubine coax the princess. The palace people of the Qi nobles went to trouble the prince, did they all eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? ”
Concubine Bai Xian was the first to get up, and then Concubine Li also hurriedly got up.
"Go back to the emperor, go back to the queen mother. What Yanxiang said, the concubine did not know. Please also ask the emperor and the queen mother to investigate. ”
Concubine Li also hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor, go back to the queen mother." The concubine never sent someone to coax the princess, and asked the emperor and the queen mother to investigate. ”
Emperor Hong Zheng said: "Mingzhu, are the palace people still there?" ”
Gu Fanghua said crisply: "Uncle Hui, the emperor, is here." Xiao Tuanzi, go and bring her out. ”
It's just that after Xiao Tuanzi went out, he quickly came back and lowered his head and said, "Back to the princess, the palace people, have committed suicide in fear of sin." ”
"Suicide in fear of sin? Isn't it tied up and still watched? ”
Gu Fanghua was a little angry, she obviously found an empty room just now and locked her in it, why did she commit suicide?
"Princess Hui, she was indeed tied up just now, and she also removed her teeth that hid poison. just didn't find out that she had a lancet blade in her palm, so she seized the opportunity to cut her wrists and commit suicide. ”
Empress Dowager Zhong and Emperor Hong Zheng exchanged looks, and those who can hide poisonous fangs in their mouths and hold blades in their palms can only be dead soldiers.
"Someone! Quickly go to the Criminal Division, bring Ru'er, and I will interrogate in public. ”
The prince gave a look and signaled his apprentice Xiao Linzi to hurry up and bring Ru'er back safely.
At this time, the imperial doctor also arrived and went directly to the side hall to diagnose the Qi nobles.
The cigarette was gagged, and he didn't dare to speak, and he knelt on the ground and trembled.
Emperor Hong Zheng's sharp eyes swept over Yan Shaoxun and the three brothers, and said slowly: "Go and find the inner servants beside the prince, three heads to six sides, I want to see who is going to disturb the queen mother's birthday banquet." ”
"Emperor, it doesn't matter if the mourning family's birthday banquet matters, what matters is the child in the belly of the Qi nobleman, is there anything wrong."
As soon as Empress Dowager Zhong's voice fell, Zhou Yuanju and Tang Imperial Doctor had already come to the palace, and saluted tremblingly: "Weichen has seen the emperor, the queen mother." Qi Guiren, the dragon fetus in the belly, can't be saved. ”
"Can't keep it, what do you mean?"
Emperor Hong Zhengdi's voice was very calm, but the coercion in his words made the two imperial doctors feel like they were in a sea of swords and fire.
The judgment of the Zhou court said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the noble Qi people ate saffron that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis for some reason. In addition, mung beans and other things are used to cool off the summer and the like, and the cold is too great, so that the tires slip. ”
When Empress Dowager Zhong heard this, she hurriedly said: "Noble Qi is sitting there, you go and see how she can use saffron." ”
After careful examination by Zhou Yuanju and Tang Imperial Doctor, it was finally found that the taste of saffron remained in the mountain soup eaten by Qi Guiren.
"Back to the emperor, back to the queen mother, there is saffron in the residual soup in this bowl."
Empress Dowager Zhong frowned slightly, and said softly: "Is there soup in the bowl?" What about the soup cup? ”
Zhou Yuan said busily: "There is no soup cup. ”
Emperor Hong Zheng also hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Take the soup cup and soup bowl together, let me take a look!" ”
This soup cup, there is one in front of everyone in the main hall, and it is different soup according to the grade. There is no poison in the soup cup, and when you enter the bowl, someone will have saffron, so the problem is obvious.
Either the soup bowl itself is poisonous, or the person who scooped the soup has saffron. The soup bowl can't hide the poison, that is, the person who waits takes the opportunity to poison it.
"Who remembers, who served the soup of the Qi nobles?"
Concubine Li cautiously raised her head and replied: "Back to the emperor, the concubine saw that it was Ru'er, the palace maid of the Qi nobles." ”
"Very good, I hope this Ru'er did not die in Shen Xingsi."
It's a pity that when Gonggong Lin came back from the Shen Xing Division, everyone learned that Ru'er had hit the wall and died.
The incense of smoke writhed wildly underneath, and Emperor Hong Zheng said coldly: "Let go of her." ”
Seeing that the cloth in his mouth was taken down, Yanxiang immediately said: "The emperor has clearly investigated, it must be His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
At this time, there was also a commotion in the original side hall, and the noble Qi actually took a hairpin, compared it to his neck, and stumbled out and ran out.
Crying bitterly: "Your Majesty! The concubine's child is gone, and the emperor wants to be the master of the concubine! Emperor! Our children! ”
Empress Dowager Zhong saw that the Qi nobles were embarrassed, and said unhappily: "Why don't you take the Qi nobles back to the palace to rest?" Stunned to do something! ”
Dongchun stepped forward to help, snatched the golden hairpin from her hand, and together with Mrs. Zhong, half-dragged and half-hijacked the Qi nobles out of the Taiji Palace. Directly let people use a soft sedan chair to carry it back to Zhong Cui Palace, and Tang Imperial Doctor followed.
No one saw that the Qi nobleman on the soft sedan chair, who had two inches of nails on her hands, was broken alive by herself.
Qi Guiren knew that his child was gone, and it must have something to do with Yan Shaoxun, but he had to help him speak in the main hall.
Thousands of calculations, Qi Guiren did not calculate that Yan Shaoxun was so ruthless in killing his son, if Yan Shaoxun dared not to compensate her child in the future, he would also die together.
At this time, Xiao Chengzi was also brought back to the temple, and he was unharmed.
