Chapter 63: The Three Princes Are Poisoned
The maidservant lay on the ground and said tremblingly.
On such a festive day, but such a thing happened, whether it had anything to do with her or not, it would be difficult to escape punishment if it made the queen unhappy.
And at this moment, everyone in the Kunning Palace was shocked, the third prince was poisoned to death, this matter is not trivial.
Reluctantly relying on the support of the maidservants beside her, the queen sat back on the phoenix chair, "Quick, set off to the Imperial Garden." Even the voice of the command was trembling.
However, she still managed to stabilize her mind, and said to Rong Jing and Song Yin: "I hope that the prince and the prince will not be surprised by today's incident, but the incident happened suddenly, and the palace must go to see it, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please understand."
Rong Jing and Song Yin are not people who don't know how to measure, and they stand up fluently.
Song Yin took the lead and said: "The queen mother is serious, let's go and see the little prince first, after all, the stakes are very high."
The appropriate remarks made the queen nod, and the group headed towards the royal flower.
Originally, she was in the mood to watch the excitement, Sun Qingyi also followed the crowd to the Imperial Garden, after all, the people of the Sun family were in the Imperial Garden, and if there was a mess at the moment, she would only be more at ease if she stayed with her family.
Because she was at the end of the team, the minions who followed the queen's team also had the courage to discuss this matter, which made Sun Qingyi's heart sink a little.
"Is the news of poisoning reliable? The third prince has always been well protected by Concubine Jing, and it is still very likely that other princes will be there. ”
"Who would dare to spread such a big thing as a head-killing thing? Since there is news from the Imperial Garden, it must be true, I advise you not to talk about it, in case it is heard by the mother, it will inevitably be another beating. ”
"Shhhh I've heard that the third prince was playing with a child of his age, and suddenly fell to the ground, and it is said that the child was still the concubine of the general's mansion. ”
……
The sound of chirping kept echoing in Sun Qingyi's ears, she had been trying to control her breathing, in order to consolidate this country, Emperor Chu had successively sealed a lot of generals over the years, but it must not be Yu Ming, otherwise even if this matter has nothing to do with her, then it will be difficult to escape the situation of being suspected.
As long as the matter of the deep palace inner garden is involved, how many things are clear?
The reality seemed to be really going against her, and by the time the queen and her party entered the imperial garden, the joyful atmosphere here had already become solemn.
The closer I got, the more I heard a sad cry, Concubine Jing's identity is as noble as an imperial concubine, and her image is at the moment.
Sitting on the ground casually, she was just a poor mother who had lost her son unexpectedly. And around her, the maidservant who knelt on the ground lay her head on the ground and trembled.
When the queen came, there were still people who wanted to salute, but they were all exempted by the reckless queen with a wave of her sleeves.
"The concubines see the emperor." In the center of the Imperial Garden, a middle-aged man sat on an intricately carved dragon chair, his eyes closed, and his majesty was not revealed.
"Queen, get up." Emperor Chu said lightly, his voice seemed to be much older.
In this celebration ceremony, a happy and auspicious day, he lost his favorite prince.
"Concubine Jing, you get up first." The queen walked over and stretched out her hand to help Concubine Jing up, after all, there were so many people watching around, and she couldn't lose her royal dignity.
"Sister, you have to avenge Xuan'er, ah, my poor Xuan'er......" Concubine Jing cried with grief, tears like beads with broken threads, kept falling.
"This matter, this palace will definitely give you an explanation, so many people, even a child can't look good, what are you doing to eat?" Cold eyes swept over the rows of minions kneeling on the ground, and the queen said solemnly.
Because she had just come from Kunning Palace, although some maidservants who knew about it had already told her some information, they didn't know the truth after all.
"Tell the mother, the slave doesn't know, they are all in accordance with Concubine Jing's instructions, carefully taking care of the three princes, I really don't know when the three princes were poisoned."
One of the servant girls at the head kept kowtowing, and her face turned pale with fright.
"But has anyone found out what kind of poison is in Xuan'er?"
"Yu Niangniang, it's a trace amount of poison, but the third prince himself has relatively weak bones, so even a little bit is enough to kill."
The imperial physician on the side stood in a row and said respectfully to the queen.
Who doesn't know that in this palace, the queen is the biggest, and even the emperor sometimes has to listen to the queen's advice.
"Why is there poison in the palace?" The sharp eyes swept over everyone, and his eyes fell on a little child kneeling beside the maidservant, and at this moment he was staring at her with an angry face in his eyes.
"Who is this?" Fingers stretched out slightly, the queen asked suspiciously.
"Yu Niangniang, this is the child who played with him when he found out that the third prince was poisoned, he is the concubine of the General's Mansion."
"Playing together? So you ordered the poison? Indiscriminately, the queen asked coldly.
Sun Yuming shook his head and imitated the appearance of others, "Hui Niangniang, I just said a few words with the third prince when he fell to the ground, and I don't know what's going on." ”
The attitude of neither humility nor arrogance makes the queen extremely angry, there are many people in the palace, as long as she does not cause a big mess on weekdays, she turns a blind eye, but this time it is a bit excessive.
"Then why can Xuan'er be poisoned when she talks to other people, but she is poisoned when she talks to you?" Concubine Jing covered her tears with a handkerchief and yelled uncontrollably.
People can't be resurrected after death, she can't hear a word of those words that comfort her, this is in the vast deep palace, without the prince, how should she live in the future?
"That's it, what Concubine Jing said is very true, she learned to quibble at a young age, and she will have it when she grows up?" The queen's cold voice was even more confirmed, and he was the murderer who framed the three princes.
"It's not me, Queen Mother Mingjian, I just left my father to get a glass of water to drink, and I didn't want to poison him."
Sun Yuming's anxious defense drowned in the crowd.
Because it is a celebration ceremony, the number of princes and nobles in the imperial garden today is very large, and everyone is pointing at Sun Yuming, and they can't wait to put him to death with disgust.
Sun Yuming just knelt on the stone ground in a daze, looking at the queen with sad eyes, obviously he didn't do anything.
Sun Qingyi stood in the crowd, watching all this with great excitement, something like this happened, didn't his father stand up and say something?
Thanks to Yu Ming, his blood is still bleeding.
