Chapter 196: The Death of the Queen Mother

After Yin Xuan went to the Jinluan Palace, the heavy rain did not stop, but fortunately, the ministers all went to the court on time, and today's early dynasty is destined to be like this sudden heavy rain, and a thunder will sound.

Yesterday, Nie Bei had already surprised the ministers in the Jinluan Palace.

The ministers also knew that the Zijin Palace, which had been sealed for more than three years, was opened yesterday, and the emperor went there, and Nie Bei also brought people from the Criminal Department.

In fact, early in the morning, when the minister came to the side hall of the Jinluan Hall to wait for the court, he wanted to ask Nie Bei about the situation, but Lord Nie stood there, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the heavy rain outside the door, the silence was a little frightening, and the ministers did not dare to step forward.

The chicken thief, who couldn't help but be curious, went to find Huatu and Gong Yongqin.

It's just that I haven't been able to find out anything.

The people of this criminal department occasionally have their mouths as tight as river mussels.

The ministers were stupid, so they didn't ask, thinking that when the emperor came anyway, Nie Bei would also analyze the case in front of the emperor and in front of the civil and military officials, so they would wait.

As a result, another storm awaited.

Originally, yesterday's case was closed yesterday in Yanxia Palace, but there were not many people at that time, except for a few people from the Criminal Department, it was the master of Yanxia Palace, Ming Guifei, as well as the emperor and queen.

As for the conspiracy behind the 'medicinal herb killing' case in Yanxia Palace, the people at that time, except for Nie Bei, Yin Xuan, Nie Qingwan, and Tuoba Mingyan, who later knew the inside story, no one else knew.

Yin Xuan won't let anyone know anymore.

So, when he went to court, he didn't say a word about yesterday.

However, he didn't mention it, but Nie Bei had to mention it.

After the ministers finished greeting the emperor, Nie Bei stood up and said to the man in the dragon chair of the Ninety-Five: "Your Majesty, yesterday's case ......."

As soon as he said this, Yin Xuan narrowed his cold phoenix eyes, and interrupted him in a gloomy voice: "Yesterday's case has been investigated and closed, Nie Aiqing doesn't need to mention it again." ”

Nie Bei said: "On the surface, it seems that the case is closed, but there is a bigger doubt that needs to be clarified. ”

Yin Xuan was immediately a little angry, and said with the nomination surname: "Nie Bei, since the case has been closed, don't say more, my words are not a joke." ”

Nie Bei sneered and said: "The minister's words are not a joke, the emperor is so afraid that the minister will mention that case, and he is afraid that the minister will answer those doubts, why is it?" Is it because the emperor has done something bad and is afraid that the world will know, or do you want to protect Concubine Ming and cover up her crimes? ”

He turned around sharply, faced the ministers, and said very quickly but with kindness: "What is the situation of yesterday's case, what was found in the Zijin Palace, what kind of unsolved case is it, I think the adults want to hear it, then Nie Bei is here to explain it to the major people, yesterday did find the armadillo grass in the Zijin Palace, before that, the adults already knew that the armadillo grass has disappeared from the world and cannot exist anymore, but the Queen Mother loved to collect Luo Qi treasures during her lifetime, including these rare medicinal materials, After I first heard about this case, I faintly suspected that it was the Queen Mother, but I really felt incredible, so I never went to the Zijin Palace to suspect, and then the Criminal Department thoroughly investigated all the palaces around the Yanxia Palace, and no suspicious people were found, so I locked the target in the Zijin Palace, but, how could the dead people come out to cause trouble in the Yanxia Palace, this is something that I can't figure out, especially the Queen Mother loves the people like a son, and treats anyone as her own, even if Wu Ping and Pang Lin are just a subordinate, the Queen Mother can't bear to hurt them, moreover, She has been going, and she has been going for more than three years, how could it suddenly come out, it is completely impossible, I guessed that it was the Queen Mother, and it was only because I knew that if the world said that it could still find a thrush grass, it must be in the Zijin Palace, at first it was just a suspicion, and then it was affirmation, when I found the last thrush grass left in the world in the Zijin Palace, I was not a little happy, but full of heavy heart, you don't know, the Queen Mother She has returned to the West Heaven, but why would she use the extinct medicinal materials in this world to cause trouble in the Yanxia Palace, Even the entire harem, that's because the Queen Mother doesn't blink an eye. ”

A sentence of death did not turn a blind eye, which shocked the ministers of the palace.

Originally, I just heard what Nie Bei said, "Is it because the emperor you have done something wrong, and you are afraid that the world will know, or do you want to protect Concubine Ming and cover up her crimes?" Then the ministers' faces changed, and their hearts were full of shock, why did this sound so wrong.

What did the emperor do wrong?

What's the bad thing?

Protecting Ming Guifei?

What do you want to protect Concubine Ming?

The ministers were puzzled, and before they could figure it out, they heard Nie Bei's words again.

After hearing these words, the ministers were startled, raised their heads suddenly, and all their eyes were fixed on Yin Xuan on the dragon seat.

Are the ministers stupid?

Not stupid.

The ministers who can stand in the Jinluan Palace, which one is not a human spirit, which one is not a smart person, and what words have passed the ear, then they can distinguish what it smells like.

Thinking of Nie Bei's above sentence, and then comparing it with the next sentence Nie Bei said, the ministers were terrified, and they all opened their mouths, almost using a questioning voice to ask Yin Xuan: "Your Majesty!" What does Lord Nie mean by this! Dowager...... What is the explanation of the Queen Mother's death! ”

The ministers' eyes were red when they said, 'The Queen Mother is dead', and they were full of anger.

They know very well how the Queen Mother died three years ago.

They know better who summoned the world to the cause of the Queen Mother's death three years ago.

They remembered that after that night, the emperor beheaded all the female eunuchs of the Zijin Palace on the charge of serving the Queen Mother ineffectively, and at that time they didn't think that the emperor's approach was excessive, because they really deserved to die, serving the Queen Mother, but they didn't find the Queen Mother's abnormality, and it was not a pity to die, even Ren Ji could not escape condemnation, and it seemed that he committed suicide because of the ineffective protector, because since then, everyone has not seen him again, along with everything in the Zijin Palace, sealed in history.

However, everyone died, but Tuoba Mingyan did not die.

Even if she didn't die, she was raised by the emperor as a concubine of the Ming Dynasty and given a seal in the Yanxia Palace, and the Yanxia Palace, whose nationality is unknown, is backed by the Zijin Palace.

All of this seems to be cruelly announcing one thing to them, from the divine power of the Queen Mother's undead three years later - Ming Guifei is guilty.

What sin?

Murder the Queen Mother!

How appalling these four words are in the hearts of the ministers!

The ministers' faces turned pale, their bodies staggered, their whole faces were trembling, their whole hearts were trembling, they pointed at Yin Xuan, opened their red eyes, and asked sharply: "Your Majesty, what happened to the death of the Queen Mother back then!" ”

The last few words, almost in a roaring tone.

Even though some of the new ministers did not participate in the glory of the Queen Mother's era, they enjoyed that era, and grew up bathed in the power of the Queen Mother......

The ministers knelt down one by one, and the old tears were full of tears, and the cry spread throughout the Jinluan Palace.

If Concubine Ming is really guilty, if the Queen Mother was really killed, but the emperor sealed Concubine Ming, and announced that the Queen Mother died of a sudden brain stroke, and everyone in the hospital unanimously agreed that the Queen Mother died of a sudden brain stroke, then the ultimate mastermind behind this matter is the emperor!

In order to protect Concubine Ming, the emperor did not hesitate to deceive the world!

At this time, how did the ministers know that the person who really killed the queen mother was the Ming Guifei, who was their beloved emperor.

Ministers don't think about it at all.

Because the queen mother is the queen mother of the emperor, in the eyes of the world, the emperor is filial, motivated, obedient to the queen mother, respectful and good, and the queen mother supports him, cultivates him, gives him the position of the prince, and gives him the respect of the emperor, how can he do such a disloyal, unrighteous, unkind, unkind, and unethical thing that violates the conscience of heaven!

He won't.

But he just did it.

No one knew what Yin Xuan's heart was thinking at this time, he just sat there, looking at the ministers kneeling in the hall, listening to their questioning voices, looking at their tearful eyes, his gaze was a little divergent, his gaze swept from the hall where all the kneeling only Nie Bei was standing, and looked out of the door, there, the sound of rain was like a curtain, falling from the sky, he thought of the night that day, it was also pouring rain, he held her corpse, and sat in the supreme throne of that temple, at that time, no one knew how happy his heart was, He hugged her, hugged her, kissed her, and that was what he had longed for for a long time.

Is he guilty?

Yes, he was guilty of great sin.

He knew very well that when he couldn't control himself and had to fall in love with her, he was full of sins.

Anyway, no matter how he chooses, he has no way out, so he chooses what he wants.

All he thought about was her.

Yin Xuan faintly retracted his gaze, his eyes fell on all the ministers in the hall again, his pursed lips opened gently, and he said to the ministers in the hall: "Is the truth about the death of the Queen Mother?" ”

Suihai's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at him worriedly and desperately, thinking anxiously, Your Majesty, you must not admit it yourself, your admission is all over!

The ministers also tensed up because of Yin Xuan's words, and they all wiped their tears and stared at him intently, waiting for him to tell the true truth.

But Yin Xuan didn't do what they wanted, paused, and then looked at Nie Bei slowly, opened his thin lips lightly, and said: "Nie Aiqing seems to know better than me and the ministers how the Queen Mother died, so you can tell me, let me and the ministers open their eyes, if the Queen Mother didn't die of a sudden brain stroke three years later, what did she die of?" ”

Nie Bei's eyes were like torches, and his voice was even more coaxing like a Hong Zhong, word by word, and the words fell in a round and earth-shattering words: "Poison and kill." ”

"Huh?"

"Ahh

"Poisoning?!"

"Poison, poison ......!"

"How could it be poisoning, didn't the people in the hospital check it back then? Why didn't you find out? ”

"Yes! Yes! What the hell is going on! ”

"Where did the poison come from?"

“……”

The ministers were in an uproar, and the quarrel was almost ruined, and they thought of Ming Guifei, who was good at making incense, and since ancient times, cases of killing people with spices abound.

Li Gongjin took the lead in standing up, and walked towards Nie Bei first, he didn't care about the court etiquette at all, and grabbed Nie Bei's shoulder as soon as he stepped forward, the power was very great, Nie Bei obviously felt that Li Gongjin was restraining his emotions.

Probably not only him, but other ministers must be like him at the moment, restraining the emotions that are about to explode.

Nie Bei thought, you don't need to restrain yourself, you have to break out when it's time to break out.

See clearly what kind of person the emperor you regard as wise and martial is really a person.

Li Gongjin said in a calm voice: "Master Nie, you found out the truth, haven't you?" ”

Nie Bei said, "Yes." ”

Li Gongjin was almost taken aback, he almost didn't stand firm, he shook his body, his face turned pale again, and he asked with trembling lips: "What is the truth?" What kind of poison did the Queen Mother die of, three years ago, all the hospitals were dispatched, and the results they tested only said that the Queen Mother died of a sudden cerebral stroke, didn't you personally visit Lord Nie three years ago? Why is it now said that the Queen Mother died of poisoning? ”

Nie Bei lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Because someone made a stumbling block from it three years ago, I can't track it down." ”

As he spoke, his eyes fixed on Yin Xuan.

Li Gongjin followed his gaze and also looked at Yin Xuan, at that moment, it was visible to the naked eye that Li Gongjin's eyes were cracked with incredible shock, and he suddenly weakened his arm, staggered back two steps, and sat on the ground.

In fact, there is no need for Nie Bei to say, how can Li Gongjin not understand?

Three years ago, the Nie family can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, that is, the emperor, when he sees the Nie family, he has to give three points, at that time, Nie Bei wants to investigate the case, who can stop it?

No one.

But the queen mother died, and the person in charge of all the power became the emperor, and the emperor wanted to get in the way of it, and it was completely effortless.

Li Gongjin closed his eyes, not knowing how to look at the emperor in front of him.

Why did he hide such a big thing?

Could it be that the murderer was really Tuoba Mingyan, and the emperor favored her very much at that time, so for her sake, he betrayed the Queen Mother?

Li Gongjin thought so, and other ministers also thought so, everyone thought that the murderer was Tuoba Mingyan, but Yin Xuan had already made up his mind to bear all this, so when Nie Bei looked over, he didn't dodge, nor did he dodge, he just said very calmly: "The death of the Queen Mother three years ago was identified by all the doctors in the Tai Hospital, if the Queen Mother really died of poisoning, it is impossible for the doctors not to identify it, you suspected at the time, the investigation, not because someone was obstructed, but because the Queen Mother herself died of a sudden brain stroke." , of course you can't find out something out of nothing. ”

Nie Bei sneered: "Yes, does the emperor dare to go to the Purple Gold Palace with his ministers again?" ”

Yin Xuan squinted.

The hearts of the ministers were lifted again.

Nie Bei turned his gaze back and looked at the ministers of the palace: "I can let you see with your own eyes, how the Queen Mother died back then, there are many things in this world, you don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it, there are still many things in this world, and it can't be explained with general ethical principles, there are still some things in this world, what you see is not true, what you hear is false, there is also a kind of poison in this world, it melts into the body, silently, you will know it when you see it." ”

He shook off his official robe, threw out an inexplicable sonorous aura, looked at the heavy rain outside the door, and whispered: "Let's go to the Purple Palace together, all the answers are there." ”

After speaking, he stepped out of the door and walked into the heavy rain.

The ministers paused, all crawled up, glanced at the emperor who was sitting there and did not move, and finally did not wait for him to give orders, and one by one they all stepped out of the door and rushed into the heavy rain.

This may be the most inauspicious rain in more than three years, and it has fallen into the hearts of ministers and Yin Xuan.

As the ministers left one by one, the solemn Jinluan Hall quieted down, quiet and a little sad, and quietly could hear the sound of the heart cracking.

Yin Xuan sat still, his expression never changed, but Suihai looked at him like this, but he cried bitterly.

Sui Hai knelt on the ground and said to Yin Xuan: "Your Majesty, you don't want to be like this, if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell the slave, you can also stop Nie Bei, you can completely seal the Zijin Palace again, so that he can't talk nonsense!" ”

Yin Xuan pulled the corners of his lips, but he couldn't pull a smile, he bent down and pulled Suihai up, and said to him: "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm fine, I'm just thinking, Wanwan doesn't know if I'm up." ”

He stood up, shook his dragon robe, and said, "I want to go back and see her." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and got off the dragon chair, walked towards the aisle, saw the royal chariot, and went up, and after catching up with the sea, he saw the curtain hanging down, Li Donglou asked where to go next to him, and the people in the curtain said to go back to Longyang Palace, and the imperial chariot drove to Longyang Palace.

Wipe away your tears with the sea and keep up.

Li Donglou did not enter the Jinluan Palace, and he didn't know what happened for the time being.

Seeing that Suihai was crying, and seeing that the emperor came back so early, he asked Suihai in a low voice what happened in the early dynasty.

Sui Hai's eyes were red, he couldn't help but want to cry again, thinking of Nie Bei's departure, the thing that he had concealed for more than three years would be revealed to the world, and what kind of punishment the emperor would suffer, no one knew, and he didn't know, but thinking about it must be very cruel, the queen mother She was not merciful, and since she made up her mind to let Nie Bei summon the world, she would definitely not let the emperor have a good time.

Suihai grabbed Li Donglou's hand and cried again.

Li Donglou: "......"

It's not that Suihai doesn't want to say it to Li Donglou, it's just that he is in a sad mood now and can't say it.

Moreover, how long this matter is, I can't tell for a moment.

So, Li Donglou inexplicably returned to Longyang Palace with the imperial chariot all the way.

The royal chariot entered the palace gate, and before it was stable, Yin Xuan flew out lightly, disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye, and arrived at the door of the dormitory, because of the rain, the sky was very dark, and the surroundings were gloomy, and it was impossible to see what time it was.

Yin Xuan gently pushed open the door, walked in, and closed the door tightly after standing firmly, because the wind was too strong.

When the door was closed, he walked to the dragon bed, and when he got close to the dragon bed, he found that Huandong and Huanxi were not waiting in front of the bed, making noise as usual, quietly nesting on the cabinet in front of the bed, and sleeping fragrantly.

Yin Xuan stretched out his hand to brush away the draping veil and looked at the sweet woman sleeping inside.

Slowly, he sat down, stretched out his hand to turn her face, his fingertips brushed the hair scattered around her cheeks, looked at her appearance, and thought, you really still have to kill me, then, does our deal still count? I gave you a life, and you gave me my sincerity, one heart for one life, one life for one heart, as the queen mother, you can't be untrustworthy.
