Ziyuan was stunned, but she didn't expect her sensitive reaction to become a flaw at this time, and her heart was chaotic, and she didn't know how to argue for a while.

Seeing that Ziyuan was sharp and sharp, Empress Zhang immediately said: "Princess Ding's eloquent speech is really admirable to this palace, but now the simple battle of words is meaningless. Now the evidence is conclusive, the queen mother died of the poison of the poisoned orchid, and the only meal she has used today is the jade white jade flower made by Princess Ding, and now the poison of the poisonous orchid has also been detected in the residual vegetables, and the evidence is conclusive. Instead of having a verbal dispute with a palace maid, Princess Ding should first find a way to prove that she was not poisoned, otherwise, no matter how clever your tongue is, you will not be able to escape the responsibility of this great rebellion! ”

Gently erased the flaws in Ziyuan's words, and only bit the jade and white jade flowers tightly It was Zichu's doing, and he didn't pursue anything else.

"The queen's words are inappropriate, the current evidence looks conclusive at first glance, but in fact there are many flaws!"

Zichu's expression was calm, and he said unhurriedly, "First of all, if it is really me who poisoned and murdered the queen mother, then where did the poison of the poisonous orchid come from?" I entered the palace this time because the emperor's birthday was imminent, and the queen mother was very loving, so I and King Ding stayed in Yulan Palace temporarily. Besides, last night, it was the father and the queen mother who made a temporary announcement, saying that I should come over with King Ding to drink tea and talk about family life, I originally thought that I would go back to rest after coming, how could I bring poison with me? ”

Then, Zichu continued: "Secondly, I was ordered to visit my father and the queen mother, but it was the queen mother herself who proposed to eat the jade white jade flower and begged me to do it. Finally, when I was cooking in the kitchen last night, I was accompanied by the maids and father-in-law from my mother's harem, and they could see clearly what I had done, and they could testify to me that I had never poisoned my mother, let alone murdered my mother and Concubine Hui. Please also invite my father and the emperor to see it! ”

Zichu said, deeply blessed, and described that he had been extremely aggrieved.

"I'm afraid these reasons for the princess can't be established, right? Not to mention how you brought the poison in - you can naturally find out in the future - you said that the jade white jade flower was made by the queen mother, but you often go in and out of Yihe Palace, and you can often come into contact with the queen mother's diet, and it is not surprising that you have the idea of poisoning, but the queen mother just wanted the jade white jade flower and gave you the best chance to poison! As for the witnesses you said,"

Shen Guifei sneered slightly and said, "Princess Ding, don't you know the laws of the Jin Xu Dynasty, slaves can't testify for their masters!" How can the testimony of your personal maid be trusted? ”

"Linglong is indeed my personal maid," Zichu said in a deep voice, "But, there were so many cooks in the small kitchen last night, they can always testify for me and prove my innocence, right?" ”

Shen Guifei was stunned and speechless for a while.

She habitually regarded the people of Yihe Palace and the Queen Mother as one, in her opinion, Linglong was Song Zichu's confidant, and of course she could not testify for Song Zichu.

But she was so quick that she forgot that the rest of the people in the small kitchen were people from Yihe Palace, and they had nothing to do with Song Zichu himself, and they were the palace people of the Queen Mother.

Ye He Minglu and Jun Yuyu were relieved when they heard this, fortunately, fortunately, they didn't mess up at this time, and they were able to find witnesses who proved their innocence at this critical moment!

Shen Guifei was frustrated again and again, she was unwilling to give up like this, gritted her teeth and said: "Those kitchen ladies in the small kitchen are also ordered to follow you, and they can't notice your every move, how can their words prove it?" ”

"Shen Guifei, what do you mean by this? You know that the people in the small kitchen are all the people around the queen mother, if you are not a trustworthy person, how can you prepare daily meals for the queen mother? But now, you say that they can't testify, do you think that I colluded with these cooks to make up lies and hide the truth? ”

Zichu's eyes showed a sharp light, and he stared at Shen Guifei quietly.

"You! ....... Hmph, Princess Ding, are you running out of skills? Fang Cai Ziyuan has already said that at that time, the people in the small kitchen were ordered by the princess to turn around, and everyone had their own things to be busy with, where did they have time to pay attention to you? Even if there were, it wouldn't be possible to keep an eye on you from beginning to end! ”

Shen Guifei seemed to have finally found a breakthrough again, she sneered, a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, thinking that this time she must have hit with one blow.

For such a fool, Zichu didn't pay any attention to it, and said: "Father, emperor, I ask to summon the palace maid and grandmother in the small kitchen of Yihe Palace." ”

Emperor Jun Yuxuan looked at the Emperor Taishang, who was silent, and finally nodded and said, "Xuan!" ”

There was a problem with the Empress Dowager Nalan's diet, so that the Empress Dowager Nalan died violently, and the people in the small kitchen had already been detained, and when they heard the emperor's will, they quickly brought it over, and more than 20 people knelt in a room, and heard the emperor ask about the process of making jade and white jade flowers at the beginning of last night, and everyone immediately chattered about what they knew and saw.

"The slave maid just accompanied Princess Ding to choose the ingredients, and after choosing the ingredients, Princess Ding asked the slave and the maid the best cook, and the slave said that it was Chef Zhang, and took Princess Ding to find Chef Zhang, and the slave didn't know the rest of the things."

"The slave maid is Chef Zhang, and Princess Ding said that her knife skills were not good, so she asked the slave maid to help cut vegetables. After cutting it, I asked the slave maid what kind of soup the queen mother liked. The slave maid is only good at knife work, and the queen mother has always liked Chef Sun's soup, and then the slave maid took the princess to find Chef Sun, and the slave didn't know about the rest of the matter. ”

"Slave Maid Sun Chef ......"

……

At the beginning, Shen Guifei still had a smug smile on her face, according to the advice of these cooks, it was obvious that no one followed Song Zichu from beginning to end, and there would always be a gap in the middle for Song Zichu to be poisoned.

But listening to it, I gradually realized that something was wrong, none of these cooks followed Song Zichu from beginning to end, but from Song Zichu left the table and came to the small kitchen, from selecting ingredients to cutting vegetables, to boiling stewed soup, adjusting juices, side dishes, until sending the jade white jade flower to the Empress Dowager Nalan, there were people from the small kitchen following Song Zichu at every stage, and they were all taken by the previous person to the next person, and there was no gap left in the middle.

In other words, although no one stared at Song Zichu from beginning to end, these people connected and always ensured that Song Zichu always had the palace maid and grandmother in the small kitchen of Yihe Palace by his side, and there was never a moment of loneliness.

This is by no means a coincidence, Song Zichu did it on purpose, she simply saw through the mind of the Empress Dowager Nalan and came prepared!

Shen Guifei, Empress Zhang and others finally realized this fact, and they were both shocked and angry.

Indeed, these are not coincidences, but deliberately designed and arranged by Zichu.

When the Empress Dowager Nalan and Ziyuan sang together, asking her to make jade and white jade flowers for the Empress Dowager Nalan, but did not send someone to follow the supervision, but let her go to the small kitchen alone, Song Zichu guessed that the Empress Dowager Nalan had bad intentions and was likely to use her hands and feet in the dishes to frame her. Moreover, Zichu did not ignore that Concubine Hui also came over to thank the Empress Dowager Nalan after she came.

Concubine Hui is pregnant, and the child is the emperor's, for the Empress Dowager Nalan, she must be a thorn in her eye, she can really be so virtuous and generous, not only to improve the ranking of Concubine Hui, but also to get along with her sisters?

Zichu didn't believe it, if this was the case, the relationship between her and the Empress Dowager Nalan would not be like this.

But if the Empress Dowager Nalan really wants to deal with herself, then she will definitely find a way to disturb the small kitchen and confuse everyone's attention, so that she will have a gap for poisoning. Instead of letting the Empress Dowager Nalan design it, it is better for her to arrange it herself.

So, she deliberately moved the palace maids and grandmothers in the small kitchen everywhere, making everyone in the small kitchen scramble.

But this kind of chaos is only the surface, Song Zichu is very careful to use all kinds of excuses to ensure that there are palace maids in the small kitchen of Yihe Palace around her at all times, so that even if the Empress Dowager Nalan wants to play a bitter trick in the future, these people from the small kitchen will testify for her, at least she can ensure that she will not be framed by the Empress Dowager Nalan.

However, what I didn't expect was that despite Zichu's repeated caution, in the end, the Empress Dowager Nalan was really poisoned, and the person who accused her of forcing herself to be a suspect became Empress Zhang, but fortunately, her original arrangement still came in handy.

After Zichu finished speaking, he stared thoughtfully at Empress Zhang and Shen Guifei, and said lightly: "Queen Mother, you don't think that the palace maid and grandmother in the small kitchen of Yihe Palace have already been bought by me, so at this time, Qi Qi will help me lie, right?" ”

Of course this is impossible, if Zichu could buy all these cooks, he would have ordered them to do something in the diet of the Empress Dowager Nalan, so why do he have to do it himself and put himself in such a suspicious place?

Empress Zhang immediately realized that Zichu in front of her had already taken countermeasures, her heart was cold, and after reminding herself to deal with it carefully, she pondered: "If Princess Ding didn't use her hands and feet in her diet, then the poison of the poisonous orchid ......."

"The jade white jade flowers I cooked, from the time they were served to the time they were eaten by the queen mother, were all under my nose, and I could be sure that everything was fine. But after the queen mother's meal, the dish was cleaned up by the Aster Girl. From the time the Aster Girl took the leftovers away, until now, I don't know what happened in between! ”

Song Zichu's words were subtle, but anyone could hear it, what she meant was that the reason for the poison of the poisonous orchid in this leftover dish was probably that Ziyuan took the leftover vegetables away and put them in the dish, taking the opportunity to slander her.

Thinking about the loopholes in Ziyuan's previous words, people were a little suspicious for a while, but most of them were inclined to believe Zichu's confession.

"This is really strange, so many people one after another are just able to connect the whole process of Princess Ding to the small kitchen to cook jade and white jade flowers, and prove Princess Ding's innocence at this time. This doesn't look like a coincidence, does it? Could it be that the princess had expected to be suspected of poisoning, so she prepared in advance and let these people testify for you? ”
