Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Two Swear Poison

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sneered: "Why did the mourning family give you a three-day period?" ”

Before Shang Kelan could speak, Jin Yantang, who was silent on the side, suddenly said in a loud voice: "Queen Mother, since Concubine Chen wants to investigate the case within three days, why don't you give her three days?" If she can't get the case over after three days, she can plead guilty to the law again! ”

As soon as Jin Yantang spoke, the Queen Mother glanced at him dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, this certified physical evidence is there, which doesn't show that Concubine Chen is guilty, and now, why are you still exculpating her?" ”

Jin Yantang glanced at Shang Kelan in the main hall, and smiled at the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, are you afraid that she will overturn the case?" ”

The Queen Mother couldn't stand the excitement, and even if she slapped the table, she glared at him angrily, and said, "How can the mourning family be afraid that she will overturn the case?" Don't you just want a three-day period, and the mourning family will give it to her! ”

In the main hall, the string that was tense in Shang Kelan's heart loosened slightly.

After hearing this, Concubine Ning's expression on the chair suddenly sank, and it happened that at this time, the Queen Mother looked at her kindly and asked, "Concubine Ning, do you agree to do this?" ”

She has already given Shang Kelan a three-day period, what does it matter if she disagrees?

Concubine Ning held the handkerchief in her hand, and hated it so much that she almost embed her beautiful nails into the flesh, but she still smiled softly and said, "Everything is subject to the words of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother praised it: "You are a well-behaved and lovely person." ”

After hearing this, Concubine Ning lowered her head embarrassedly, but her smile was a little reluctant.

However, Concubine Hua watched from the sidelines, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly stood up and said: "Queen Mother, this matter is not proper, since all the evidence has pointed to Concubine Chen, then just let her confess her guilt directly, why bother to make such a three-day period?" Isn't that a chance to find a scapegoat for her? ”

Mama Chen, who was beside the Queen Mother, suddenly had a dark look in her eyes, and couldn't help but shake her head at this Concubine Hua in her heart.

The Empress Dowager just promised to give Concubine Chen a three-day period to investigate the case, and Concubine Hua hurriedly jumped out to refute, didn't she slap the Empress Dowager in the face?

The Queen Mother hated others questioning her decision the most, and sure enough, as soon as Concubine Hua's voice fell, the Queen Mother's face sank.

Jin Yantang's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say a word of reprimand.

In the main hall, Shang Kelan, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but look at her with a quiet smile after hearing Concubine Hua's words: "What does Sister Hua mean by this?" As the victim, Concubine Ning's sister expressed support for the Queen Mother's decision, do you think that the Queen Mother's consideration was inappropriate and inconsiderate? ”

Concubine Hua was blocked by her fluttering words, and when she was about to speak, the Queen Mother's solemn gaze fell on her.

Concubine Hua opened her mouth, and changed her words weakly: "When ...... Of course not! Hongu just doesn't want a real murderer like you to get away with it! ”

Shang Kelan nodded along with her words, and said matter-of-factly: "My sister also hopes to catch the real murderer as soon as possible, so as to return the concubine's innocence!" ”

As she spoke, Shang Kelan's voice suddenly changed, and she smiled at Concubine Hua and said, "Speaking of which, Sister Hua also ate the pastry yesterday, but I didn't see my sister vomiting?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the concubines fell on Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua became the target of everyone!

Suddenly, Concubine Hua's face turned red, and she couldn't help but point at Shang Kelan in front of the emperor and the queen mother: "What do you mean by this slut?" Could it be that this palace poisoned Concubine Ning's sister? ”

Shang Kelan looked at her innocently and said, "The concubine didn't mean this, why is my sister so excited?" ”

The impact of these words is not small, for a while, everyone looked at Concubine Hua's eyes with a sense of scease, and Meizi, the personal palace maid, was anxious and uneasy when she looked at it from the side.

Concubine Hua gritted her teeth, glared at Shang Kelan fiercely, then turned to the Empress Dowager and swore to her: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, since Concubine Chen's sister distrusts the concubine so much, the concubine has nothing to say, but the concubine swears that if the concubine is really the one who poisoned her, she will let the concubine wear her intestines and rotten her stomach, and she will not die well!" ”

When Shang Kelan heard this, although she knelt in the main hall, she also smiled and agreed: "The same is true of the concubine, if the concubine is really the one who poisoned her, she will tell the concubine to cut off her children and grandchildren, and the sky will thunder!" ”

This oath is poisonous enough, these two people can really say it!

But everyone couldn't help but feel a little less suspicious in their eyes when they looked at them, after all, they attached great importance to their oaths and easily did not swear poisonous oaths.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Concubine Ning's face on the side was extremely ugly.

Suddenly, she only felt upset and stuffy, something seemed to be tumbling in her stomach, and after only a few breaths, Concubine Ning hunched her back and couldn't help but vomit.

"Gross!"

She retched, spitting out a puddle of filth.

Cui'er beside Concubine Ning looked panicked, hurriedly brought a cup of tea to rinse her mouth, and hurriedly patted Concubine Ning's back to give her a good breath.

The foul of foul-smelling filth made the concubines in the hall show disgust, and they all took out champas to cover their noses.

Shang Kelan didn't feel anything, she glanced at Concubine Ning's miserable appearance of vomiting, and there was a sneer in her eyes.

Seeing that she vomited so much, it was as if she had vomited all the jade plate delicacies she had eaten in the past two days!

Jin Yantang has a habit of cleanliness, seeing this, he couldn't help frowning, and said to Cui'er in a cold voice: "Didn't you see that Concubine Ning was unwell?" Why don't you hurry up and take Concubine Ning back to rest? If Concubine Ning is slightly injured, I will ask you! ”

Cui'er trembled, held back her tears, and hurriedly helped Concubine Ning to bow to Jin Yantang and the Queen Mother in fear.

Concubine Ning listened to the vicious oath of Concubine Hua and Concubine Chen just now, and her heart was cold and panicked, even though she was scheming, she had never been cursed like this!

After Concubine Ning left, the Queen Mother frowned in disgust when she looked at the puddle of things that Concubine Ning spit out, and Mama Chen hurriedly instructed the two palace maids to come forward to clean up, and lit incense to get rid of bad luck, and the Queen Mother felt a little better this time.

The concubines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and put down the champa covering their noses.

Then, the Queen Mother returned to her previous majestic expression and said to Concubine Hua and Concubine Chen: "Okay, okay, you two are disgusting when you two say this, who can't do it?" ”

Concubine Hua pursed her lips unwillingly, curtsied and said, "The concubine knows her mistake." ”

With that, Concubine Hua sat back on the chair, and the Queen Mother didn't bother to care about her attitude.

I only heard the Queen Mother say to Shang Kelan: "The mourning family will give you a three-day period, during this period, Mama Chen will assist you in the investigation, if you dare to find a scapegoat, the mourning family will definitely not spare you!" ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother glanced at Mama Chen, who was standing beside her, and said in a light tone, "Mama Chen." ”

Mama Chen, who was wearing a navy blue embroidered peony palace dress and a purple tassel around her waist, stood up and said respectfully: "The slave and maid will obey the instructions of the Queen Mother, and will do their best to assist Concubine Chen in investigating the case!" ”

In the main hall, Shang Kelan knelt on the ground, and when she heard the words, her eyes couldn't help but flash slightly: Is this considered sending someone to monitor her? I don't know if the Queen Mother sent this Mama Chen to help her investigate the case, or to make her stumble and make her confess honestly three days later?
