Chapter 168: The Empress is Caught
"That's true!" Ye Wushuang said with a deep sense of disappointment: "This is my queen!" ”
Yun Shan's face was moist, and she threw herself at Ye Wushuang's feet with a face full of grievances, grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, you have to believe in the concubine, the concubine has been with you for so many years, there is no reason to harm you!" ”
Thinking of the words he saw last night, Ye Wushuang snorted coldly, kicked her away, and said, "If it's for Lin'er!" What if you want to seize power! ”
Ye Wushuang's words smashed Yun Shan to the ground, and she said in a daze: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about, the concubine has never thought of seizing power." ”
Ye Wushuang's eyes were red, as if he had been directly stabbed by a sharp blade, and his face was cold.
"You're still quibbling! Do you think you can hide it from me? Ye Wushuang pointed to one of the many slaves and said coldly, "You give it to me." ”
The named maid crawled out and knelt beside the silver bottle.
"You say, what did the queen let you burn that night?" Ye Wushuang asked.
The maid glanced at the queen with a hesitant face, biting her lower lip as if she wanted to say something.
Ye Wushuang knew in his heart, so he said: "It's okay, you said it, I will call the shots for you." ”
The queen watched inexplicably from the sidelines, and even wiped her tears without even caring about it. When did she ask this maid to help burn something?
With dependence, the maid stumbled and said what happened last night, and she said: "Last night, the queen asked the slave maid to burn some paper, and the paper was painted with strange charms, and a paragraph was written, and the slave and maid didn't know whether to say it or not. ”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Yun Shan, and already had an answer in his heart as to what that passage was.
"Say." The Queen Mother said.
"It reads, pray that the ghosts will kill the emperor and let Lin'er inherit the throne, so that the queen will listen to the government." The maid buried her head in the ground, and didn't dare to look at the queen from beginning to end: "She also said that since the emperor no longer likes him and her, he killed her father again." Then she let the emperor die. ”
Yun Shan's mouth opened wide, and the words that popped out of the girl's mouth were like wordless heavenly books, and she couldn't understand a single word.
With a bang in his brain, the trust that Ye Wushuang had just established in the queen last night collapsed again. His eyes looked indifferently at the queen who crawled over and hugged his legs, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Your Majesty, you have to believe in the concubine, the concubine has been framed!"
The queen mother was also frightened by the words of listening to the government, but she didn't expect this queen to have such a thought!
She patted her chest in fear for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "This vicious woman even wants to kill the last son of the mourning family." ”
Father-in-law An hurriedly patted her on the back and poured tea for her to suppress her shock, and then asked: "Lafayette, it seems that this medicine is not ordinary, do you want to call the imperial doctor and let him see what is in this medicine." ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't remind the mourning family, the mourning family has forgotten." Hurry up and come over to Imperial Doctor Qi. ”
Father-in-law An obeyed the order and walked down bently. When he passed by the queen, he glanced at her, and saw that the queen was glaring at him fiercely.
"Queen, I treat you well, how can you have such vicious thoughts!" Ye Wushuang said coldly.
Yun Shan looked at him in a panic and said eagerly: "It's not a concubine, it's not a concubine." She turned her head to look at the two maids who accused her, and pounced: "It's these two sluts who hurt me, they were instructed!" ”
The queen's sharp nails cut through the maids' cheeks, and she slapped them hard with her palms, and said fiercely: "Say, who let you harm this palace." ”
Ye Wushuang closed his eyes, he couldn't believe that the graceful woman had become what she was now.
The queen mother put the teacup on the table and said angrily: "Presumptuous! Look at what you look like now, are you worthy of being the royal lady of Lin'er? ”
As soon as Yun Shan heard her mention Lin'er, her movements stopped, she knelt on the ground crying, and said, "Queen Mother, you must believe in the concubines. Don't snatch away the children of your concubines! ”
"What a robbery, you have such a vicious mind, the mourning family is not at ease to let Lin'er stay by your side." The Empress Dowager asked the little eunuch of Fengyi Palace on the side: "What about Lin'er?" ”
"Back to Lafayette, the prince is sleeping in the room." The little eunuch replied respectfully.
The Empress Dowager's pleated face showed a loving expression, and she said softly, as if she was afraid of waking up her grandson who was sleeping in the other room: "Then let him fall asleep, and when he wakes up, he will be sent to Cining Palace." ”
Yun Shan looked at her with a pale face, Lin'er had only been back from Cining Palace for a few days, and she was about to be sent away again. How could she, a mother, endure the pain of being separated from flesh and blood!
The queen knew that there was no way to ask the queen mother, so she could only turn to the battle to ask for help from Ye Wushuang: "Your Majesty, please don't take Lin'er away, how can Lin'er leave his mother when he is so young." ”
"Mother? You also know that you are already a mother. Ye Wushuang said coldly: "You did such a thing, do you think Lin'er will be proud of you?" ”
The queen shook her head desperately, the hairpin on her head also fell, and she hurriedly said: "No, the concubine is wronged!" ”
Ye Wushuang turned his face away, still not looking at Yun Shan's explanation. Last night, Nalan Lan'er was kind enough to defend her, but she didn't want to give herself such a surprise today, they are also people she values, why is the difference getting farther and farther.
Imperial Doctor Qi was old, and he stopped in place after running a few steps to catch his breath. Gonggong An pulled him, and the two little old men entered Fengyi Palace with broken steps.
By the time they arrived, the queen was already weeping, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was sitting on the ground with her face covered and sobbing.
"Imperial Doctor Qi, come and see what this medicinal powder does." The Empress Dowager will send someone to give something to Imperial Physician Qi, who put down the medical box, took the medicine powder and began to sniff.
Everyone in the antechamber, including the Queen, looked at him nervously.
I just told the queen that the things in the powder bag must not be as simple as being obsessed.
Sure enough, Imperial Physician Qi heard it for a while, and a surprised expression appeared on his face. After a pause, he re-reported the news several times.
Night Wushuang was impatient, so he asked; "Imperial Doctor Qi, what exactly is in this medicine that makes you hesitate so much. Don't you smell it? ”
Imperial Physician Qi carefully put down the medicine bag, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the humble ministers will smell it, but they don't dare to say it." ”
Along the way, Grandpa An told him everything. He secretly glanced at the queen, and immediately lowered his head.
Seeing this, the queen chuckled in her heart and collapsed weakly on the ground.
The situation is decided, and it is difficult to turn things around.
"Say! If you don't tell the truth, I will give you the death penalty. Ye Wushuang said with a cold face.
Imperial Physician Qi's aging and thin body trembled, and he said hesitantly: "Back to the emperor, the medicinal materials in this medicine do have the use of ecstasy, but if these flavors are put together. He dragged his voice and spit out the words as if he were dying: "But it has extremely poisonous medicinal properties!" ”
Ye Wushuang's body shook when he heard this, and he vaguely guessed this ending in his heart, but he really heard it like a thunderbolt in his ears!
The tea lid in the queen mother's hand fell to the ground, she trembled and pointed at Yun Shan, and said almost faintly: "You poisonous woman, you really dare to drink this poison to the son of the mourning family!" ”
Yun Shan looked at her with a dull face, and Imperial Doctor Qi's words were like a slap in the face. She couldn't figure out when she had been doing her best for the emperor, but when she became a person who killed the king and sought power.
The Queen Mother gasped a few times angrily, and Ye Wushuang hurriedly patted her back and said, "Queen Mother, don't be angry." ”
The queen mother held his hand, felt the temperature coming from his body, and tears flowed from her cloudy eyes: "It's all the queen mother's fault, and you actually arranged such a person by your side." ”
At the beginning, she saw that Yun Shan had a gentle personality and a good family background, so she found this marriage for Ye Wushuang. Who knows, she planted a cancer next to her son with her own hands!
Ye Wushuang comforted: "The queen mother is serious, it's not that you asked her to poison me, right?" ”
The queen mother held a handkerchief with tears, and as soon as her eyes touched the queen, she became fierce, and she said angrily: "Come on, behead this vicious woman." ”
When the queen heard the question of beheading her son, her eyes finally had a little clarity. She hugged Ye Wushuang madly, and bitter tears flowed from her pale cheeks: "Your Majesty, the emperor has spared the concubine, please believe in the concubine." ”
Ye Wushuang looked at her fixedly, her smile more than ten years ago and her current appearance kept exchanging in front of her eyes, and the sorrow suppressed in her heart was like a torrent of catharsis.
"You are my queen! It's someone who wants to accompany me through my life! Ye Wushuang's eyes were moist, and he stretched out a hand to cover his eyes: "But that's it, you want to send me to Yellow Springs!" ”
The queen shook her head in panic, wanting to use her words and deeds to retain even a trace of the emperor's trust: "No, the concubines have always been thinking about you in the past few years." ”
"For my sake? Poison me for my sake? For my sake, I want to listen to the government! Ye Wushuang's brows furrowed, and he pointed to the medicinal powder that was still on the sandalwood table. Every question was like a knife stuck in the queen's chest, and it was bloody.
Nalan Lan'er heard Yun Shan's cry from afar, Wan'er quietly pinched her sleeve and smiled at her with raised eyebrows.
How depressed I was under the oppression of others, how much I looked forward to seeing the downfall of others. But at this time, Nalan Lan'er couldn't laugh anyway.
The smile on the corner of Wan'er's lips froze, looking at the front hall that was getting closer and closer, and asked suspiciously: "Finally this time, why are you unhappy?" ”
Nalan Lan'er shook her head and sighed deeply.
No one noticed Nalan Lan'er stepping into the house, and everyone's attention or hearing was focused on the farce in front of them. The queen's wails were like crying blood, and every word was telling her loyalty to Ye Wushuang.
