Chapter 183: Seek Advantages and Avoid Disadvantages

The palace maid's figure was slightly paused, her head was lowered, and she trembled all over, at this time, if she didn't know what was going on, she was really stupid, seeing that the lie was exposed, she hurriedly begged Leng Wushuang for mercy, "The slave should die, the slave should die, the slave and the maid did not mean it, and the slave and the maid were also forced to go around the slave and the maid." After a while, the palace maid's forehead turned red. Xue Rou couldn't look at it, and waved her hand, "Don't knock, as long as you explain the ins and outs of the matter, I can help you intercede, but if you dare to deceive your superiors and subordinates, then don't blame us for being polite." ”

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare." The palace maid quickly thought about the solution in her heart, she didn't want to die, and she couldn't confess Concubine Ming, the Ming family was powerful and complicated, even the king had to give her three points, she was just an insignificant palace maid, even if she said everything, cleared her sins, and helped the queen, the king would still put Concubine Ming on the face of the Ming family, and at that time, she would be unlucky.

She did so much to try to survive, so she couldn't confess Concubine Ming no matter what, yes, she couldn't say it, she couldn't say it, she couldn't say it, she couldn't say it.

"Slave maid...... Slaves...... The slave maid wanted to avenge the master, and originally wanted to poison someone else, I'm sorry, the slave and maid took the wrong meal, and the slave and maid will go and change it back now. The palace maid was so unreasonable, and Xue Rou sneered, "Just now you cried and begged us to give you a chance, but now that the opportunity is in front of you, you give it up again, since you don't cherish it like this, then we have nothing to be polite about." Patriarch, send her to the king's side, with the king's intervention, we can naturally find out the ins and outs of the matter, we are running out of time, let's hurry up and study the antidote. ”

Leng Wushuang naturally has no opinion, not to mention that this palace maid can't reach her at all, even if he is injured, he will not be good if there is such a person who cares. Nodding in response, the palace maid was still counting on Leng Wushuang to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, who knew that she didn't look at her from beginning to end, the palace maid suddenly became anxious, "Patriarch Leng, Miss Xue, the slave and maid really know that it is wrong, I beg you, you are merciful, just spare the slave and maid this time." Slaves and maids will repay you by becoming cattle and horses. ”

"We really don't need you to repay you like this." Looking up at the door, "Someone comes, take this person down, and leave everything to the king." No matter how the palace maid cried, the guards still took her away, in the imperial study, the king was discussing with the minister, and after hearing about this, he frowned slightly, "Go, bring people up," the prime minister and General Hu glanced at each other, General Hu and the king have a better relationship, and there are not many taboos on weekdays, so he asked out of curiosity, "Dare to ask the king, what happened, the king's face is so ugly." ”

"Hmph, a group of unconscious things, it's okay to play some tricks on weekdays, but now it's even a shame to make trouble in the side hall." Side hall? That's not where Leng Wushuang lives, could it be that someone bowed down to Leng Wushuang? Thinking of this, General Hu frowned slightly, "I don't know if Patriarch Leng has something to do?" ”

"They have nothing to do, and they also arrested the person who poisoned Lonely, and today Lone has to interrogate him well, who is so bold."

The father-in-law brought the palace maid in, and the palace maid kept her head down, but the king still recognized her at a glance, "Peony? How could it be you, the person who poisoned Father-in-law and Gu Shuo and Patriarch Leng just now is really you? ”

Peony was so frightened that she knelt directly on the ground, didn't speak but kept crying, the king had a headache when he heard it, and when he saw that she didn't say anything, he simply found someone to call Concubine Ming to the imperial study. Concubine Ming was well-informed, and she got the news when Peony was arrested, and on the way to come, she thought of a way to get out, and as soon as she entered the imperial study, she didn't wait for the king to speak, and stepped forward to give Peony a slap, "Eat things inside and outside, is this concubine not good to you on weekdays, why do you want to frame this concubine like this, say, who instructed you to frame this concubine." ”

Frame? Doesn't all this have anything to do with Concubine Ming? Originally, the king wanted to question Concubine Ming, but now it seems that it is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and after thinking about it, he changed the question, "What does Concubine Ai mean by this?" Just now, Peony personally admitted to Gu that you instructed him to murder Patriarch Leng, in order to prevent him from helping the queen heal. Aifei, I always thought you were an empathetic and knowledgeable woman, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious, you really disappointed me. ”

Peony looked puzzled, opened her mouth to explain, and swallowed the words to her mouth, even if she was asked to say it, it was nothing more than these words, since the king helped her to say it, even if the mother held it accountable later, she could put all the responsibility on the king's head, so that maybe she could save this little life. In contrast, Concubine Ming's face is not good-looking, she looks confident, she is very sure that Peony will not give her out, she never expected that Peony would betray her and tell all her secrets, she now has the heart to kill.

Even so, without evidence, she will not admit it, Concubine Ming pretended to be pitiful, sold miserably, knelt on the top of the hall and shouted wronged, "Your Majesty, you must not just rely on his words to wronged the concubine, the concubine reprimanded her yesterday twice, she made a fuss and became angry, made up such a lie to frame the concubine, this heart is not pure, even ill-intentioned, and ask the king to investigate." ”

"Wronged? She is your personal maid, and you often praise him for her sincerity on weekdays, why did you turn against him today. Concubine Ming, you didn't treat Gu as a fool and deliberately deceive Gu. The king kept staring at Concubine Ming's eyes, not letting go of any of his emotions, Concubine Ming didn't dare to look directly at the king, her eyes were ermerciless, and when the afterglow swept to the peony, she glared at her resentfully. As if to tell her to wait, Peony was so frightened that she fell to the ground for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses.

Seeing this, the king's face was displeased, "Concubine Ming, what are you doing, you dare to be so presumptuous in front of Lone, do you think that Lone will not dare to touch you, so you are so arrogant, Lone tells you, this time, if Lone can really prove that you have harmed people, Lone will definitely not let you go." "The Ming family is arrogant, and now they don't take him seriously, if it weren't for the queen's illness that has been distracting her, he would have uprooted the Ming family a long time ago, and then she could still be arrogant by Concubine Ming.

"Your Majesty, why don't you believe in your concubines, your concubines are dedicated to the emperor, this heart can be learned, you must not be used by people with intentions and wronged your concubines." Concubine Ming helped the maid to stand up, and saw that the king had no new evidence for a long time, and her words were full of pride, "Is there anything else to do with the king, if there is nothing to do, the concubine will go back first, the rest yesterday was not good, the concubine will be a little tired, and I want to go back to rest." ”

"You ......" the king wanted to say something, but there was no evidence, even if he left her here, there was no way to bring her to justice, not to mention, he was angry that she was here for a quarter of an hour, and if he stayed any longer, he would be angry. After Concubine Ming left, the king asked him to stay with the peony, General Hu saw that the king was in a bad mood, and proposed to leave, and the prime minister saw this and hurriedly reconsidered, "Weichen's family also plays the matter, so let's go back first." ”

The two left the imperial study, glanced at each other, and then shook their heads very tacitly, "The Ming family is really getting more and more arrogant, and so is Concubine Ming, and the king's patience has reached the limit." You explain how a person who is so smart as an adult can't even understand this little thing. , bullying people all day long, but he didn't know that his head was already tied around the waistband of his trousers, and he was crumbling. ”

"Who says it's not, that old thing saw me two days ago, and sneered that the old man was just a prime minister at such an age. Hehehe, no matter how good the old man is, he is better than her, a person who is about to lose his life. Okay, don't mention that idiot, let's go quickly, wait for the king to come back to his senses and come to find someone to look for us, and we can't leave if we want to. When General Hu heard this, his steps were a little faster, he was busy until late yesterday before going back, and he didn't want to stay in the palace today to find guilt.

In the imperial study, the king knew in his heart that the poison on the queen's body was under the Ming concubine, but because of the power of the Ming family, he couldn't say anything, let alone do anything, and he could only endure the anger in his heart.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Leng Wushuang and Xue Rou heard that Peony had been acquitted, and they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, but since they decided to let the king try it, they would not interfere with the king's decision, and they were depressed for a moment and no longer entangled in this issue, "The queen's condition is more complicated than we thought, first of all, her body is weaker than ordinary people, and she can't take the medicine too violently, otherwise she won't be able to bear it, and the cold in his body is very heavy, and he must not use cold medicinal herbs this time." As a result, the medicinal materials that can be used are very limited. ”

"You're right, I've taken these things into account, so I don't know how to administer the drug until now. Patriarch, if we don't treat conservatively first, we still have a few days left to go, and it should be enough for us at our speed. Xue Rou can see that the relationship between the king and the queen is very deep, if something happens to the queen, not to mention that the king will be angry with them, the king will also be very sad, the doctor's parents, if there is a little possibility, she doesn't want such a thing to happen.

"I'm the same as you think, conservative treatment, so that you can give the queen a chance to breathe, and you can also slowly get rid of the poison on his body, killing two birds with one stone, but the time is a little long, Miss Xue, if you have any urgent matter, you don't have to stay here all the time."

Xue Rou smiled, "It's okay, it's not bad for a few days, besides, when we entered the palace, it was more of your hostage, and now the queen is not getting better, even if we want to leave, the king should not agree." Okay, don't think about it, I've got my own measure. ”
