Chapter 17: Xiaozhen
Shen Guiren also agreed with Ling Guifei's statement, she said angrily to Xiaozhen: "If you haven't done it, don't admit it indiscriminately, if you have any grievances, the emperor will naturally make decisions for you!" ”
Xiao Zhen glanced at Shen Guiren, her eyes were a little hesitant, Long Chuxia saw her eyes and knew her plans at the moment, she might really think that the emperor would listen to Ling Guifei and Shen Guiren's words, and questioned this queen mother
Long Chuxia didn't give her this opportunity to humiliate herself, she looked at Xiaozhen and said: "On that day, you told the palace that Shen Guiren ate the soup balls for about half an hour before the pain in the abdomen, in half an hour, so many palace people didn't even clean up the dishes that Shen Guiren ate, there is only one possibility, that is, you deliberately want to leave this soup bowl with safflower for the imperial doctor to verify, the imperial doctor confirmed that there is saffron in the bowl, and the twig who is responsible for sending things and even the queen can't get rid of the relationship and you can obviously take a very heavy medicine, but you don't, It's only a little bit to prove that you don't want to kill the flesh and blood in the belly of Shen Guiren, your purpose is only to target the queen, because, in the end, no matter whether the queen will be guilty or not, she and Shen Guiren will break up because you know that the queen is actually looking forward to the birth of this child more than anyone else, you want the queen to see the child born, the emperor and the palace will not let her get close to her because she tried to poison the prince in the past, and you want her to accept the pain of being wronged and misunderstood, proving that you or the people behind you hate the queen and the palace very much. Can you admit it? ”
Everyone looked at Xiao Zhen in unison, Xiao Zhen's face was pale, but he pretended to be calm and said: "The Queen Mother is clever, everything is almost exactly the same, it is the slave who hates the queen very much, and hates it to the bone, without the instructions of others On the day, the soup balls sent by Xiaozhi were indeed not poisonous, and they were added by the slave and maid later, because the slave and maid calculated the amount accurately, and the Shen nobles would only have a stomach ache for a while after eating, and the soup bowl that would not be in trouble was also the slave maid who ordered people not to clean it, because to leave evidence The slave maid really did not think that it would make the queen guilty, But the slave maid didn't want her to be convicted, she just wanted her to try the taste of being wronged, the slave maid everything was very accurate, the queen was the queen mother selected to enter the palace as the queen, the queen fell into a suspicion, the slave maid thought that the queen mother would definitely avoid suspicion, and let the emperor or the concubine Niangniang investigate the matter, the concubine Niangniang has always been at odds with the queen, no matter what the investigation results are, the queen will not escape the involvement, but the only thing the slave maid did not calculate is that the queen mother was not afraid of the suspicion of the people in the palace, privately calmed down the matter, and secretly investigated the slave and maid Since it was recognized, I didn't want to live, I just wanted to die quickly! ”
When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback, and Shen Guiren's face was even more ruthless, and he stepped forward to slap him in the face, and scolded angrily: "This palace used to treat you like a sister, why do you want to harm this palace and the children in the womb of this palace?" ”
Xiaozhen bit her lip, stunned not to let the tears fall, she looked at Concubine Qin, and said, "Concubine Qin, please take care of my master"
Concubine Qin's face was stunned, and she nodded a little gloomily, "You still think about yourself!" She seemed to despise Xiaozhen very much, and she didn't even want to look at her, turned her head, snorted, thought about it and said, "You just committed a great crime against the sky, did you ever think that you would implicate your family?" A narrow-minded and selfish person like you is not sorry to die! ”
Xiaozhen's body shook suddenly, and he said sadly: "The slave knows that she is guilty of death, but she begs her family to be safe!" ”
Long Chuxia said lightly: "Your little trick, this palace saw it that day, do you know why this palace didn't expose you until today?" ”
Xiaozhen was startled again, his hands kept twisting his clothes, and his face was full of pale looks
The emperor suppressed his anger and asked Long Chuxia, "Mother, what the hell is going on?" Why did she target the Queen? And you, if you knew it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Long Chuxia smiled meaningfully, "Before you say it, this palace naturally wants to know what this palace wants to know."
The emperor was puzzled and looked at Long Chuxia with puzzled eyes
Long Chuxia smiled faintly, "Okay, let this matter be dealt with by the palace, the emperor, the affairs of the harem women, there will always be some disputes, this is normal, since no one was injured this time, even the children are safe and sound, then, don't go down the vine and check it, so as not to hurt the harmony of the harem."
The emperor knew what Long Chuxia meant, the person behind Xiao Zhen must be one of the concubines present, and this concubine, he can't move it for the time being, because the power of her mother's family must be as good as the sky, then, the third concubine and the concubine are the most suspicious Xiao Zhen will not be the mastermind, at most it is just for the dead ghost Since Long Chuxia let him go first, he naturally has a way to deal with it, but it is inconvenient for him
Understanding the difficulty, he got up and said: "In this case, these things will be troubled by my mother, and my son will have something to do, so I will retire first!" Long Chuxia nodded slightly: "Go!" ”
The concubine got up and said, "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”
When the emperor went out, Long Chuxia didn't speak, Xiao Xun brought a cup of hot tea again, she drank it slowly, and her expression gradually became cold
The concubines didn't say a word, especially Ling Guifei, she was not weak-hearted, but in this matter, she kept pushing the suspicion on the queen, which easily caused an illusion, making people think that she was arranging all this behind the scenes, the purpose was to blame the queen because everyone in the harem knew that she hated the queen to the extreme, and longed for her to die, so at this moment, she didn't dare to make a sound, so as not to be seated by others, and I don't know if Long Chuxia investigated it clearly, if she couldn't find the people behind the scenes, and casually planted the crime on her, then she would be wronged
Everyone waited with bated breath for Long Chuxia to say who instructed Xiaozhen, but after Long Chuxia drank tea, he said, "Come on, put Xiaozhen in the prison first!" ”
Two guards came in at the door, and after bowing their hands, they set up Xiaozhen and walked out, Xiaozhen was paralyzed, her face was white, and her body was constantly trembling, although she was not afraid before, but everything really came, she still couldn't hold the fear in her heart
The queen asked, "Queen Mother, who is behind the scenes?" ”
Long Chuxia's eyes glanced at the queen lightly, and said, "This matter will be dealt with privately by the palace, and you don't have to ask again, all step down!" She looked at Concubine De and Concubine Qin again, and said, "The head of the palace is a little painful, Concubine De, Concubine Qin, the two of you stay and serve the palace!" ”
Concubine De and Concubine Qin got up and said respectfully: "Yes!" ”
The concubines were puzzled, if Concubine Li and Concubine Ling were allowed to stay, it would probably be that the two of them would be suspicious, but now Concubine De and Concubine Qin, who are not causing trouble, this is a little strange and Concubine De's reaction today is very strange, she has never spoken for the queen like this before, today, is she deliberately creating a friendly situation between her and the queen or does she really sympathize with the queen? As for Concubine Qin, because she had a miscarriage and a withdrawn personality, she rarely interacted with people in the palace, and it is said that she did not hate the queen
It's just that no one dares to ask, even Ling Guifei, who has always been arrogant, is silent at the moment
