Chapter 121: Favoritism
The poison of the queen mother can no longer pose a threat, although the dragon fetus in the belly has the appearance of a slippery fetus, after all, it is saved, and the queen mother's diet and daily life must be paid special attention to in the future, and must not be infected with the wind and cold, otherwise the dragon fetus ......" will not be saved.
Naturally, the imperial doctor didn't dare to say that sentence, and it didn't affect Zhao Yu's understanding of what he meant, Zhao Yu was worried that compared to Jiang Youxi's body, he cared about Jiang Youxi very much.
"From then on, the queen's body will be recuperated by your hospital, so you must not leave any hidden dangers."
"Wechen understands."
At the same time, that night, the Praetorian Guard searched everyone present, and found nothing suspicious, and Zhao Yu did not talk about the seizure of the palace by those ministers, and ordered them not to leave the capital for a few days, and waited for summons from time to time.
At the same time, the Praetorian Guards searched the palace again, found a packet of medicinal powder in Lian'er's clothes, and after examination by the imperial doctor, it was determined that the ingredients of this medicinal powder were indeed aconitum aconitum.
Zhao Yu was furious when she heard this, and directly asked her to torture her, and asked her to confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, after all, she is such a little girl, naturally she has no motive to harm the current queen.
Lian'er didn't expect that there would be medicinal powder in her clothes, panicked, and tried to defend herself, but no one believed her words and used criminal law against her.
Seeing that Lian'er was dying, as if she would die at any time, the guards were also a little unbearable, "Miss Lian'er, you can recruit it, so that you can suffer less guilt." ”
"Slave, slave, no, no harm, queen, mother, mother." Lian'er was covered in blood, and she didn't have a piece of good meat in her body, but she refused to be wronged in vain, and she didn't admit it.
"Miss Lian'er, this medicine powder has been found in your clothes, is there anything wrong? What did you do yourself, which you don't know yourself? If you tell the people behind you, maybe the emperor will be merciful and can spare your life. ”
When the guards saw that Lian'er was soft and hard, that bit of sympathy was also wiped out, and there was some fierceness in his words.
"That's it, Miss Lian'er, if you do your own thing, even if someone else wants to frame you, you can't do it, right?"
Another guard is also persuading, it's not that he hasn't seen hard bones, it's rare to think that Lian'er is like this, according to his opinion, he will directly beat Lian'er to death, but he can't make a deal at that time, otherwise where can he talk to her little palace maid in vain.
He didn't know that it was this unintentional sentence that reminded Lian'er that she and Wan'er had secretly gone to see the queen's clothes, although Lian'er didn't believe that Wan'er would harm her, but this was the only thing she had ever done that was unsightly.
The guards saw that this matter was related to the queen's mother, and it came out of Lian'er's mouth, although the guards felt that it was mostly insignificant, but they still reported it.
"Go and send the clothes that the queen wore yesterday, and then find the imperial doctor."
The imperial doctor was brought over, and after examination, it was found that there was indeed a lot of aconitum powder on the clothes, especially the neckline and cuffs.
"Back to the emperor, it is true that someone poisoned the queen's clothes, and when the queen mother was eating, the poisonous powder fell into the food, which made the queen mother poisoned."
With the testimony of the imperial doctor, Zhao Yu directly asked Wan'er to bring Mo Huanting over, and at the same time, Lian'er, who had been beaten half to death.
"Lian'er said that you once begged her to take you to see the queen's clothes?" Zhao Yu sat on the dragon chair and looked coldly at the two people below, not angry and arrogant.
Mo Huanting changed her appearance, so Zhao Yu didn't find that Wan'er in front of her was Mo Huanting.
As soon as Mo Huanting came in, she was so scared when she saw Lian'er with blurred flesh and blood, her first reaction was that she couldn't admit it, anyway, Lian'er couldn't come up with any evidence.
"Your Majesty, I, I don't." Mo Huanting denied it, and at the same time looked at Lian'er in disbelief, "Lian'er, I treat you like a sister, why?" Why are you pouring dirty water on me? ”
"Wan'er, ...... you?" Lian'er didn't expect Wan'er to deny it, what did Wan'er really do? But why? I have no grievances with her, why did she frame me?
Lian'er shook her head vigorously, tears falling straight down, and she didn't know if it was because of the pain in her body or because of Mo Huanting's denial.
The confessions of the two were different, and Zhao Yu didn't know who to believe, "Lian'er, you said that Wan'er asked you to take her to see the queen's clothes, what evidence do you have?" ”
Lian'er shook her head, her eyes were very desperate, "No." ”
"Wan'er, what is your usual relationship with Lian'er?" Things came to an impasse all of a sudden, but Zhao Yu didn't want to jump to such conclusions, this matter must be investigated.
"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid usually send the cloth of the aunt in charge, and they will be familiar with it after coming and going, Lian'er is usually smart and generous, but I didn't expect that I don't know the ...... of knowing people and faces."
Mo Huanting touched her tears, pretended to be, and in a few words, she picked herself cleanly, and secretly said that Lian'er was a scheming person.
"Lian'er, is Wan'er's words true?" Zhao Yu frowned, obviously knowing that this matter was not so simple, but he was suffering from no evidence.
"Heh, what a person who knows his face but doesn't know his heart, Wan'er, I think I'm looking at the wrong person!" Lian'er looked at Mo Huanting angrily, eager to cut her with a thousand knives, "Your Majesty, the slave maid is still the same sentence, the slave maid has not harmed the queen mother." ”
"Wan'er, where were you that night on the twentieth? Can anyone prove it? Zhao Yu didn't speak, but asked Wan'er.
"Some emperors, because the slave maid has just entered the palace, and there is not enough room on the other side of the imperial dining room, so he lives with another sister Ying'er, and she can prove that the slave maid did not go out that night."
Wan'er replied without humility or arrogance, with a clear and logical sentence, compared with Lian'er, it is difficult for people to believe that the real murderer will be her.
"Chuan Ying'er!"
Hearing Mo Huanting say this, Zhao Yu felt that it was still necessary to pass Ying'er over to ask.
Previously, her good sister Wan'er was suddenly taken away by the Praetorian Guards, Ying'er was frightened all morning, but she didn't expect that suddenly the emperor was going to see her again, Ying'er beat a drum in her heart, and went to say something.
As soon as Ying'er entered the door, she saw Lian'er lying on the ground with blurred flesh and blood, and Wan'er kneeling there, and her legs trembled with fright.
"Ying'er, you only need to answer my questions truthfully, and you can't hide anything, otherwise I will punish you for the crime of bullying the king!" Zhao Yu deliberately did this to prevent Ying'er from lying in front of him.
Ying'er has no bottom in her heart, she is an ordinary little palace maid, what can have anything to do with her?
"Yes, slave, slave and maid don't dare."
Ying'er has been timid since she was a child, Zhao Yu was so frightened that she began to stutter when she spoke, and if she listened carefully, she could feel that her voice was trembling.
"I ask you, was Wan'er with you on the night of the 20th?"
"Back to the emperor, the slave maid and Wan'er are in the same room, and they sleep every night, and the night of the twenty-day is no exception."
Ying'er did answer truthfully, I don't know why the emperor asked her about this.
"It was already old when we went that day, Wan'er, don't you say that Ying'er was still awake at that time?" Lian'er knew that as long as Wan'er didn't admit it, the emperor wouldn't dare to take her example, which could make the emperor suspect her.
After all, they all live in the palace, and Lian'er may be as simple as she seems, although she won't do anything hurtful, it's still okay to protect herself.
Sure enough, after Zhao Yu heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, "Ying'er, can you prove that Son Wan was still in the room at the time?" ”
"Slave maid, slave maid can prove that it may be that the slave maid ate a bad stomach during the day, and woke up with pain left and right, and when she got up at night, she also saw Wan'er in bed."
Ying'er is very smart, she guessed a few points in a few words, she did get up late that night, but, Wan'er was not in the room, she and Wan'er were sisters, so she subconsciously lied.
"Impossible, you are lying, Your Majesty, the two of them must be colluding, it is impossible for Wan'er to be in the room that night."
Ying'er's words broke a straw for Lian'er, making her speechless.
Now all the evidence points to Lian'er, even if Zhao Yu thinks that this matter is strange, he doesn't know how to investigate.
was about to detain Lian'er first, but the prince came to tell her, saying that Cao Yunxin had entered the palace, saying that she knew who killed Jiang Youxi's murderer.
Zhao Yu looked deeply at the three maids present, and only felt that things were getting more and more complicated, "Let her in." ”
"The courtiers knock on the emperor." Cao Yunxin specially dressed up, so beautiful that she gave Zhao Yu a salute in a proper manner, neither humble nor arrogant, showing everyone's demeanor.
"You say you know who killed the queen?" Where does Zhao Yu have other thoughts now, he asked directly.
Cao Yunxin glanced at Wan'er who was kneeling on the ground, hooked the corners of her mouth, and pointed at Wan'er, "Your Majesty, she is the murderer who killed the queen's mother, and the culprit is the goddaughter that my father recognized not long ago, Lou Yan." ”
"You talk nonsense!" Mo Huanting didn't expect Cao Yunxin to come over suddenly, and she also said Lou Yan, what did Lou Yan leak from there? Panicked.
Zhao Yu looked at the excited Wan'er, her eyes darkened, and she looked at Cao Yunxin, "You said that Lou Yan and Wan'er joined forces to kill the queen, is there any evidence?" ”
Cao Yunxin glanced at Mo Huanting, whose face was distorted, sneered, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and said loudly, "Wan'er? Your Majesty, this was accidentally dropped by the courtiers last night when they found out that Wan'er was secretly meeting Lou Yan, with her name on it, but Wan'er was missing. ”
Wang Gonggong gave the handkerchief to Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu looked at it, and couldn't believe it, the handkerchief was embroidered with the word Mo Huanting.
"Mo Huanting? Wan'er, what's going on? Is this handkerchief yours? ”
