Buying poison is not trivial, and for the sake of prudence, she personally selected the people.
First, the appearance and position should not be too eye-catching, otherwise it is too easy to attract attention.
Second, it must also be a trustworthy and powerful person.
After thinking twice, she chose this person, so she recognized the other party at a glance.
But he should have choked his breath...... Why did it fall into the hands of the crown prince?!
"The servant asks the emperor to say goodbye......" The eunuch knelt down tremblingly, his face pale and sickly.
"Which palace are you from?" Emperor Zhaofeng frowned and asked.
He could even smell the strong smell of medicine emanating from this person.
Looking at his face and his slow movements when he walked and knelt down just now, it can be seen that he must have had a lot of trauma.
"Minions...... The slave is in the Changchun Palace. The eunuch replied with his head down.
Emperor Zhaofeng's face changed slightly, and he looked at Concubine Ning.
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't recognize this person......!" Ning Guifei immediately denied it.
First, she got the eyes of her grandmother, and second, she really didn't recognize the other party.
And in the next moment, I heard the grandmother next to me answer: "This person was originally a eunuch in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in Changchun Palace, and he didn't have the opportunity to enter the inner hall on weekdays, so Niangniang naturally didn't recognize it." β
This kind of thing, lying and denying it is pointless, and it will make the situation worse when it is exposed.
Whether this person is from the Changchun Palace or not, the emperor will know as soon as he checks it.
Concubine Ning looked at her in disbelief.
This eunuch is really from Changchun Palace?!
To put it this way......
Emperor Zhaofeng's heart slowly began to sink.
"The poison in the six princes was brought back to the palace by your hands?" He looked at the eunuch and asked.
The eunuch's body trembled: "Yes......"
"On whose orders?" Emperor Zhaofeng asked again.
ββ¦β¦ It was sent by Ning Guifei Niangniang. The eunuch said, turning his head to look at the grandmother: "It was Mama Jiang who gave it to the slave herself." β
This time, his life was picked up.
And the matter has come to this point, both horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to leave a way for his old mother outside the palace to live.
"Presumptuous! How dare you slander this palace! Hearing the other party's outspoken identification, Ning Guifei was completely out of proportion.
Mama Jiang stepped forward.
"The emperor doesn't know anything." She said calmly: "This person was discovered about ten days ago for stealing valuable things in the Changchun Palace, and afterwards, it was the slave and maid who disposed of it. He came forward to say this at this time, obviously out of revenge, and intended to frame the concubine and the slave. β
She had thought about drowning people in a well, but recently, the atmosphere in the palace was tense, and everyone was staring at it, and the eunuch threw himself into the well for no reason, but it would attract attention.
That's why she found an excuse for theft, and rebuked the man with a rod.
"Your Majesty, the slave has never committed theft......" The eunuch defended: "It's just a means for Mama Jiang to kill her mouth......"
Mama Jiang looked at him and said coldly: "You keep saying that you want to pour dirty water on the head of Changchun Palace, I want to ask you, but is there any evidence?" β
She did a clean job in this matter, even if he survived by luck, it was impossible to leave evidence for him to fight back.
Immediately afterwards, Mama Jiang looked at Emperor Zhaofeng and said, "Your Majesty, a few days after this person was scolded by the cane, it is reported that he died.
Zhang Meishou glanced at her more.
This grandmother is a thoughtful and means-oriented, and she can still be so calm at such a juncture, and she can still divide her mind and dissociate.
However, the strength must be used in the right place. With the wrong master, what will happen is doomed early on.
"Father, this person is indeed secretly saved by his son's minister." Zhu Youzhu did not deny the defense, and his tone was ashamed: "The son of the minister is arrogant, please ask my father to punish him." β
Seeing him admit it so frankly, and didn't even mention a word of bitterness, Emperor Zhaofeng couldn't get angry.
It is said that crying children have candy to eat, but for some reason, he is slowly feeling ...... Children who don't cry are more likely to be distressed.
Especially good-looking.
Maybe he was faintly aware of the truth and thought too much, Emperor Zhaofeng had his own discernment in his heart at this time.
"If you do something wrong, I will punish you, but not now."
Whatever it is, it depends on the situation.
Of course, he taboos people to act in hiding from him, but he is not the kind of person who does not give people a way to live, and does not allow people to find a way to live on their own.
"......" Mama Jiang's eyes changed, and then she said: "Your Majesty, if you want to nail this matter to the concubine Niangniang just because of a few words from this eunuch, it will be inconsiderateββ"
Emperor Zhaofeng didn't speak.
Truly.
A little eunuch who can't produce substantive evidence casually says a few words, and he really can't believe it, otherwise Changchun Palace can hammer the concubine to death if he takes one out casually.
After all, Concubine Ai's style of acting is an excellent example of attracting revenge.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have seen this person outside the palace." The girl's voice suddenly sounded like a clear spring.
Ning Guifei's heart, which had just been a little relieved, suddenly rose again.
Looking at the girl who was neither humble nor arrogant, she secretly clenched her fingers.
Wait, when she survives the hurdle in front of her, the first thing to clean up is this little slut who is against her everywhere and doesn't know whether to live or die!
If it weren't for her troubles, how could the Six Princes wake up!
"The little fairy has seen him?" Emperor Zhaofeng asked unexpectedly.
"Exactly." Zhang Meishou recalled: "It should be eleven or twelve days ago, the courtiers saw this person appear in the Great Yongchang Temple. β
Mama Jiang's expression changed slightly.
It's not like I'm lying......
Immediately afterwards, I heard the other party say: "At that time, this person and a middle-aged man went to the Luohan Palace, and the courtiers were suspicious, this person brought the poison back to the palace that day - and the middle-aged man was the one who sold the poison." β
Mama Jiang looked at Zhang Meishou with a look of shock in her eyes.
And before she and Ning Guifei spoke, the other party had already said: "If the emperor wants to know if the courtiers are lying, or if they recognize the wrong person, he can order someone to check whether this eunuch has been out of the palace in the past few days." β
"What if you leave the palace?" Mama Jiang retorted: "The Changchun Palace often sends palace people out of the palace to the Great Yongchang Temple to donate sesame oil money on behalf of the mother, even if Miss Zhang happens to see this person in the temple, what can she prove?" β
Zhang Meishou looked at her.
"I say this for a reason. And donate sesame oil money, pay more attention to the early morning, to be sincere, and that day when I saw this person in the temple, it was already afternoon. Besides, don't you wonder why I am sure that the middle-aged man is a poison seller? β
ββ¦β¦β
The girl's eyes were calm and waveless, but it made Mama Jiang feel cold from the bottom of her heart.
This little girl's words are not only sharp, but also step by step, which really makes her dare not despise her.
She weighed the between, and when she failed to answer, she saw that the other party was facing Emperor Zhaofeng.
