Chapter 303: Interrogation

Beitangli's voice was not loud, but it was enough to deter the queen.

The imperial doctor took the order and asked Lu Qingyuan to put Xiao Shizi on the bed, checked it carefully, and then returned.

"Your Majesty, the little prince is just an ordinary poison, not fatal, wait for the old minister to prescribe a prescription for detoxification, take it every day according to the prescription, and it will be cured in three or five days."

The imperial doctor's words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, and Beitang waved his big hand and ordered: "In this case, you go and prescribe medicine." The envoy went to get the medicine with the imperial doctor, and Beitangli stepped forward to take a look at the unconscious little Shizi.

The child was just over a year old, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his little face was pale, and he looked particularly pitiful.

Lu Qingyuan's eyes wandered, and he quietly glanced at the emperor's back, and after weighing it for a long time, he decided to let it go.

"Your Majesty, please be the master of Qing Kite!" Wailing and kneeling behind Beitangli, Lu Qingyuan looked sad, looking like she had been greatly wronged, and asked the emperor to make the decision for her.

Beitangli turned around and looked at Lu Qingyuan, "You just said that it was Princess Ming who poisoned and murdered Xiao Shizi?" ”

Lu Qingyuan lowered her eyes slightly, covering the weakness in her eyes, and nodded: "I...... When I came in, she was the only one here. Before that, Yu'er was fine. "Although Lu Qingyuan is stupid, he is not hopelessly stupid. She wanted to frame the Yuan Quanquan, but she couldn't directly say with such certainty that the other party did it, which seemed too deliberate.

Ambiguous answers are more suspicious.

Beitang left the words, turned to look at the Yuan Circle, the other party stood calmly, saw him look over, and said loudly: "I was brought here by a palace maid, and when I heard the cry in the house, I came in to take a look." Seeing Xiao Shizi crying here alone, he hugged him and coaxed him, and then Princess Jin came in, pointing out that I was here to harm Xiao Shizi. "The Yuan Circle is flat and straightforward, and the facts are told concisely, and the truth and falsehood are judged by the emperor.

"The palace maid? What palace maid? Why did she bring you here? ”

Yuan Quanquan replied truthfully: "It's the palace maid in Concubine Qing's palace, and when she found me, she said that Concubine Qing had something to do with me and brought me here." "The Yuan Circle is good friends with Concubine Qing, so naturally it is impossible to let this kind of bad thing involve her, and explained, "That palace maid seems to be just an ordinary sprinkler in Concubine Qing's Niangniang's palace, because she has a mole on her face, I occasionally saw it once or twice when I went to visit Niangniang in the Dawn Palace, so I have some impressions." If Niangniang really has something to look for me, she usually asks Ah Rulai next to her, and finds someone else to look for me, but it is the first time. ”

The implication is that it is very likely that this palace maid was not sent by Concubine Qing to find her, but was ordered by others to deliberately bring her here.

Beitangli naturally heard it, and when he heard this, he actually involved Concubine Qing, his brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was no longer gentle, and his words were a little cold: "Come on, go and find that palace maid." I'd like to see who's behind it. ”

Lu Qingyuan, who was kneeling on the side, shook slightly, lowered his head, his hand on his knee curled up slightly, and his fingers buckled his clothes.

Meditation stood beside the Yuan Circle, glanced over there, and quietly withdrew his gaze.

Soon the palace maid was found, kneeling on the ground, so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Are you from Concubine Qing's Palace?" Beitang went to Concubine Qing every day, but he didn't have much impression of this palace maid.

As soon as this palace maid entered the door and saw this situation, she probably already knew what was going on. I was flustered and at a loss for what to do, lest the truth be exposed, and the emperor was so angry that he pulled her out and cut her down.

“…… Yes, the slave maid is from the Dawn Palace. ”

"You brought Princess Ming here?"

"Slave maid...... The slave maid has been staying in the Dawn Palace, and she has never seen Princess Ming. ”

This answer is expected in the Yuan Circle, and since it has been bought, it must be impossible to admit it.

"You said you stayed in the Dawn Palace all the time and never left for a moment?" The Yuan Circle took a few steps forward and stood in front of the palace maid.

The palace maid was still kneeling on the ground, her hands folded and her head buried in her arms, she looked up at her slightly when she heard Yuan Quanquan's question, and saw Yuan Quanquan looking at her with a smile, not like questioning her, but like talking to her.

Quickly buried his head back again, "...... Be. ”

Yuan Quanquan asked again: "Who will testify?" ”

“…… Yes, Xiao Jin, who works with slaves and maids, can prove it for slaves and maids. ”

"Oh, really?" After asking the Yuanquanquan, he turned to face the emperor and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to send someone to find this little jin to confess to a pair." After all, it's about my innocence, and I don't want to be wronged for no reason. "She can't afford to murder the son of the world.

Beitang was naturally accurate, and immediately sent someone to the Dawn Palace to find the palace maid named Xiao Jin.

Concubine Qing left the table early due to physical reasons, but when she returned to the Dawn Palace, she did not rest immediately, but teased the children in the house. I heard a report from the palace people that the two palace maids in their own palace were called away. When I asked, I found out that such a big thing had happened in the queen's palace. instructed the nurse to take care of the little prince, and hurried over there.

When Concubine Qing arrived, she happened to hear Yuan Quanquan asking.

"You all work together, so she has been staying in the Dawn Palace tonight to do things, and hasn't gone out?" Yuan Quanquan asked this palace maid called Xiao Jin, and after asking, he thought about it and added, "Or is there a period of time when she is out of your sight?" ”

This palace maid named Xiao Jin knelt with the palace maid just now, and although she didn't understand what was going on, she still answered the question honestly.

"Back to Princess Ming's words, today is the slave maid and Fang'er on duty, an hour ago Fang'er said that she was sick to her stomach, left for a while, and came back not long after."

"So, she wasn't with you for a short period of time, and you don't know where she went, right?"

Xiao Jin thought about it, quietly turned his eyes and glanced at Fang'er next to him, and hesitated: "Yes......"

Yuan Quanquan saw Fang'er's shoulders tremble invisibly, she shook her head in her heart and smiled.

"You, look up." Yuan Quanquan pointed at Fang'er, "She said that you disappeared for a while an hour ago, where did you go then?" ”

is obviously a suspect who was accused of murdering Xiao Shizi, but Yuan Quanquan was calm and relaxed, and clearly investigated and interrogated, revealing the truth little by little.

Everyone's eyes were focused on this palace maid named Fang'er, waiting for her answer.

Fang'er raised her head tremblingly, and subconsciously glanced behind the emperor before speaking. And standing behind the emperor was Lu Qingkite.

"Slave maid...... The slave maid had an upset stomach at that time, so go to ...... Went to the thatched house. ”

"Oh, is it? Maybe I recognized the wrong person. Yuan Quanquan looked like "blame me for not seeing the wrong person", smiled at Fang'er embarrassedly, but his eyes were always firmly on her, keenly catching that when she said that she recognized the wrong person, the other party breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

And just after Yuan Quanquan said this, Lu Qingyuan was about to speak out and continue to denounce it, when he heard her voice again.

"But when I passed by Cheng'an Palace, I saw a palace maid sneaky, carrying a small cloth bag in her hand, as if she had stolen something and was about to take it out to sell. I see that man looks a little like you! ”

The breath that had just been relieved suddenly came up again, Fang'er didn't think about it, raised her head and retorted: "That's not me, I didn't go to Cheng'an Palace at all, I went to ......" The words were stunned, Fang'er's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at the Yuan Circle with a frightened expression.

Yuan Quanquan really laughed this time.

"Oh, where have you been? Why don't you say it? ”

was easily caught up in the words of the Yuan Circle, Fang'er's eyes flickered and her expression was flustered, "Slave maid...... The slave maid didn't go anywhere, and the slave maid stayed in the Dawn Palace...... Haven't been out. ”

If anyone in the room still doesn't see the problem, they are fools.

Beitang was the majesty of the emperor, his face was cold, and he couldn't help but be angry when he thought that someone actually used Concubine Qing to harm his grandson.

"Today is a good day for family reunion, if you tell the truth and explain the matter clearly as soon as possible, I will spare your life."

Beitang is mostly a warm emperor with a gentle personality on weekdays, but no matter how kind he is, he is always an emperor, a king who holds the power of life and death. As long as he says a word, life and death are not controlled by himself.

Fang'er is just a little palace maid after all, even if she is bought with money, but she still knows that life is more important than money.

Frightened, he slammed his head on the ground and easily moved.

"The emperor spares his life! The slave and the maid say, and the slave and the maid say! After slamming the floor a few times, Fang'er slowly straightened up, trembling her lips and confessing honestly.

"Yes...... It's the princess of Jin! It was Princess Jin who asked the slave maid to bring Princess Ming here! Princess Jin gave the slave maid some silver, and asked the slave maid to find a way to lure Princess Ming here in the name of Concubine Qing, and explained that if anyone asked afterwards, she insisted that she had not seen Princess Ming tonight. The slave doesn't know anything else! The slave and maid know that they are wrong, so they ask the emperor to be merciful and spare the slave and maid! ”

"Bold! Who gave you the guts to slander this princess! I've never known you, I've never seen you, and you dare to blame me for this! Before the others could react, Lu Qingyuan was a thief, and he was about to slap Fang'er when he rushed up first, but he was pulled by the meditation cultivator.

Our ghost king, except for his own princess, has never known how to write the words "pity and cherish jade" to other women. With a direct flick of his arm, he threw Lu Qingyuan to the ground, and after shaking it, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his hands, as if he had touched something dirty just now.

"This king wants to ask you, who gave you the courage to slander this king's princess?" He was tall and long-legged, and standing in front of Lu Qingyuan, who was lying on the ground, he looked even more condescending and imposing.

Lu Qingyuan didn't think that things would develop in this direction at all, and a trace of dazedness flashed in his eyes when he sat on the ground, but more than that, he was afraid.
