In front of the Linhua Palace, Bai Wei's body had been scarred, and the blood-colored whip marks were shocking. An attendant came forward to report, "Qi Qi Emperor, Queen Mother, she recruited." ”

The Emperor raised his eyes, looked at the chamberlain, and asked, "What did she say?" ”

The chamberlain lowered his head, looking a little hesitant, "Back to the emperor, she said, she said ......"

The emperor couldn't help frowning when he saw the waiter's stumbling appearance, and he simply ordered, "Bring people in for me."

The emperor and the empress looked at her condescendingly in front of Bai Wei, and the emperor asked majestically, "Say, who instructed you to do this?" ”

Bai Wei was extremely weak and prostrate on the ground, after this beating, her body and psychology could not bear it for a long time, and now she only wants to live. At this moment, she immediately said everything like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and she cried bitterly and said, "I beg the emperor to spare my life, I beg the emperor to spare my life, the slave maid was also blinded by lard for a while, so she fainted." All this was done by the royal daughter Sun to the slave maid. ”

Bai Wei said, still choking a little, "The Imperial Girl Sun took the bell on the hand of the slave's brother to threaten the slave and maid, she said that if the slave and the maid did not do what she ordered, she would order someone to kill the slave's brother!" The slave and maid have already entered the palace, and the younger brother is the only hope for the slave and maid family, and the slave and maid can't sit and watch him have an accident! The slave and maid were also forced to be helpless, and the slave and maid didn't want to harm Liu Cairen, but the slave and maid had no choice...... Ask the emperor for mercy, and ask the queen to be kind......" Bai Wei's words were sincere, and they seemed to be very credible.

The queen was a little disappointed and a little puzzled when she heard this, "Imperial Daughter Sun? ”

Bai Wei was afraid that the queen would not believe it, so she immediately kowtowed and said, "Yes, it's the daughter of Sun." What the slave said is true! ”

After listening to Bai Wei's words, the emperor had anger in the corners of his eyes, and he commanded Xiao Lianzi with a straight face, "Go, bring the Sun family!" Xiao Lianzi took a few servants and went away.

Sun Yuwei didn't know why she was brought here inexplicably, and she was a little drumming in her heart. When she saw the faces of the emperor and the empress, she was even more uneasy, but she still saluted thoughtfully, "The concubine greets the emperor and the queen." ”

The queen looked majestic and asked solemnly, "Imperial Daughter Sun, according to the palace maid Bai Wei's confession, you forced her to poison Liu Cairen, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Sun Yuwei was stunned when she heard this, she only felt confused. But when she saw the emperor and empress looking like this, and she also knew the seriousness of the situation, she knelt down and hurriedly said, "The emperor and the empress have never instructed anyone to do this. The one named Bai Wei, the concubine didn't recognize her at all, how could she be instructed? These are all slanderous words, and the concubine knows it, so someone must be trying to frame the concubine. ”

At this time, Fang'er, a little palace maid behind Sun Yuwei, suddenly rushed out and knelt down and said, "Please forgive the emperor and the queen, slave maid, slave maid, slave maid once saw Sun Imperial Daughter instruct Bai Wei to poison Liu Cairen, but the slave maid has not dared to say it in order to protect herself, begging the emperor to spare her life, begging the queen to spare her life." She kept kowtowing as she finished speaking.

Yanfu, who was also kneeling behind Sun Yuwei, raised her head suddenly, her face was both frightened and angry, and she shouted at Fang'er, "You, why do you want to frame the little master?" ”

"Presumptuous! How can you be so rude in front of the emperor and queen! Yumo, the palace maid beside the queen, shouted at Yanfu.

Sun Yuwei is no matter how stupid she is, she also understands that the situation is unfavorable to her, if Bai Wei's statement alone can be said to be framed, but even the maidservants in her palace have bitten herself, and now she is really speechless.

Sun Yuwei's face instantly lost its blood, she knelt and moved two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the corner of the emperor's robe, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, you have to believe the concubine, the concubine doesn't know what's going on." The concubines were a little arrogant and arrogant in the past, but since these days, the concubines have been staying in their Ninghui Hall in a regular manner and have never gone out, and they have never been in contact with the people and concubines of the Mofeng Hall in Changxin Palace, let alone the people who went to instruct the Linhua Hall of the Hook Yi Palace. Your Majesty, the concubine really hasn't done it, you have to believe the concubine. ”

The emperor looked at Sun Yuwei's expression carefully, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, looking at Sun Yuwei's appearance, it really didn't seem to be telling a lie.

The queen didn't believe that Sun Yuwei could do this thing from the beginning, or that she did it alone. What kind of person Sun Yuwei is, the queen can see it clearly, she is just a pug who is brainless and likes to wag her tail in front of Concubine Yanshu.

The queen originally thought that the person Bai Wei confessed under severe torture would be Concubine Yan Shu, no matter how bad she was, she could be a beautiful person, but she didn't expect it to be Sun Yuwei, who was not in the climate! She intuitively felt that this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Yanshu, or that she was unwilling to accept the current result, so wouldn't she have tossed it in vain? The queen now wants to splash this basin of dirty water on Concubine Yeon's body no matter what. What's more, seeing that the emperor was a little shaken by Sun Yuwei's words, the queen knew that she could no longer sit on the other side and watch the fire.

Thinking of this, the queen asked seductively, "So far, you should be honest with Imperial Daughter Sun." Now that the human and material evidence is there, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that Bengong doesn't understand, why do you want to poison Liu Cairen? How did you arrange all these things by yourself? Or is it someone else's command? Or is there an accomplice? ”

As soon as the queen's words came out, the emperor attracted the emperor's attention, and the emperor turned his head and glanced at the queen inquiringly, and the queen's heart sank, and she quickly explained, "The concubine just feels that there are many links involved in this matter, and it may be difficult to achieve it with the strength of the imperial daughter Sun alone." The emperor did not speak, and the queen also shut her mouth stupidly.

Fang'er knelt quietly on the ground, and when she saw that she and Bai Wei's testimony still couldn't convict Sun Yuwei, her heart became anxious. She thought that if she failed to push the matter to Sun Yuwei and ended it, and she couldn't complete the task assigned by her master, I was afraid that she would not die well.

Fang'er suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the queen, the slave maid remembers that the princess put the string of bells in the box on the right hand side of the dresser, and also rewarded Bai Wei with a golden hairpin, saying that it was a reward for doing things for her. Your Majesty, as long as you send someone to search for it now, you will definitely be able to find these two things. ”

The queen stared at Fang'er, and there was no joy or anger on her face. Speaking of which, what the truth of this matter is, the queen actually doesn't care very much. If Concubine Yan Shufei can be pulled into the water, it will naturally be excellent, but the matter has come to this point, and the queen has already understood that her purpose may not be achieved. However, even if it can't be reached, it would be good to be able to cut off one of Concubine Yan's wings.

When the emperor heard this, he motioned to Xiao Lianzi to take someone to search Ning Hui Palace, and the queen instructed Yumo to take someone to search Bai Wei's house.

It didn't take long for Yumo to find the golden hairpin. When the queen saw it, she said conclusively, "This palace remembers that you wore this golden hairpin, and Cao Meiren praised its exquisite workmanship that day." "When the queen said this, it was equivalent to cutting off Sun Yuwei's back road.

When Sun Yuwei saw this golden hairpin embedded with Dongzhu, her face changed suddenly, and she only remembered that her golden hairpin was missing, she wanted to deny it, but she never thought that the queen's words would make her quibble. But the emperor didn't know that there was such a thing, Sun Yuwei's obvious look fell in the eyes of the emperor, but it had a different meaning, which couldn't help but make the emperor's suspicions greater.

Sun Yuwei said in a bad heart, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the concubine's golden hairpin disappeared a few days ago. ”

Yanfu also hurriedly helped, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid can testify that the little master's hairpin is indeed missing, and the little master and the slave and maid both think that it is lost." ”

Half a pillar of incense, Xiao Lianzi is also back. As Fang'er said, she found a string of children's bells in the box on the dresser.

The emperor's face can be said to be gloomy to the extreme at this time.

Sun Yuwei was extremely panicked, she really couldn't figure out who wanted to frame her like this. At this time, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Yuanzhi, who was sitting silently on the side. In her opinion, Liu Yuanzhi was the only one who had an enmity with her in this palace, she stood up suddenly, glared at Liu Yuanzhi with tears in her eyes and said, "It's you, it must be your bitter trick, it was you who instructed them to unite to frame me." Liu Yuanzhi, you slut! ”

Sun Yuwei's eyes were red in a hurry, she scolded regardless of her image and wanted to rush to Liu Yuanzhi on the side, but she was immediately stopped by the two attendants waiting in the palace.

At this point, everything is already clear. The evidence is ironclad, Sun Yuwei can't escape the responsibility. Sun Yuwei's madness at the moment, in the eyes of the emperor, is nothing more than a dog jumping off the wall after being exposed. The emperor looked at Sun Yuwei like a shrew, and his heart was already extremely disgusted, "Sun, poisoning concubines, causing trouble for no reason, repeatedly making big mistakes, unrepentant, demoted to a woman, and will enter the cold palace from now on." ”

Sun Yuwei's face was colorless, the emperor's words were like a thunderbolt from a sunny sky, she cried and shouted, "Your Majesty, the emperor ......" Sun Yuwei shouted all the way and was dragged down.

"Queen, this harem is getting more and more unpeaceful." The emperor squinted at the empress and said coldly.

The queen was shocked when she heard this, and her face was sneering, the emperor blatantly accused him of not managing the harem well, "It was the concubine's negligence, the concubine must control the people in the harem well in the future, and this matter will not happen again." ”

"I still have official business to deal with, and the rest of the things will be handled by you, the queen." After the emperor finished speaking, he left first. The queen then sent Bai Wei, Fang'er, Yanfu and a few others.

After the emperor and queen left, Ruan Mingting came to Linhua Hall to visit Liu Yuanzhi, "No wonder my sister has been sick for so long and has not recovered, it turned out that she was drugged by the Sun family, it is really vicious!" ”

After Ruan Mingting finished speaking, he saw that Liu Yuanzhi and Han Yue both looked worried. "Sister Liu, what's wrong with you? But what else? Ruan Mingting asked suspiciously.

Liu Yuanzhi asked, "Ming Ting, do you remember what I told you a few days ago about the snake we encountered in Begonia Soup that day?" At that time, Qingli found out that the relationship between Xiao Dengzi and Tao Yao in the imperial dining room was very good. ”

Ruan Mingting immediately understood what Liu Yuanzhi wanted to say, "Sister, are you saying that the person behind this matter is actually Concubine Yan Shu, and the Sun family is just acting according to orders?" ”

Han Yuexiu frowned slightly, "The slave felt that Fang Cai Sun's expression didn't look like she was lying, but I was afraid that this matter really had nothing to do with her, and it was completely unrelated." Bai Wei's words should be nine points true and one point false. ”

Ruan Mingting heard this, "So, Bai Wei was indeed threatened, but it was not the Sun family who threatened her. ”

Han Yue nodded, "There is one more thing, since there is no clue in the medicine of the Tai Hospital, it means that this medicine was brought in from outside the uterus." If the slave is not mistaken, Li Chongrong's grandmother's family is in the medicinal herb business. Concubine Yan Shufei is also a good calculus, not only does she have a beautiful person who looks forward to her to do things for her, even if the deeds are revealed, someone can still be pushed out to act as a scapegoat. Her own hands are clean and have nothing to do with it. ”

"It's hateful!" Ruan Mingtingyu slapped the table with his hand, "Fortunately, I found it early, if I found it later, it would really be life-threatening." My sister has nothing to do with others, but they want to kill my sister! ”

"The palace is indeed a place where wolves and tigers serve right and wrong." Liu Yuanzhi sighed.

Han Yue also sighed lightly, "The slave always felt that as long as I didn't offend people, people wouldn't offend me. Now it seems that I do not offend anyone, and people also offend me. ”

Fortunately, the drug was discovered early, and the incident did not cause much damage to Liu Yuanzhi's body, but it took a few more days to recover. During these days, Liu Yuanzhi couldn't sleep, Ruan Mingting, Yun Yuya and several others were fortunate to be recruited by the emperor, among them, Ruan Mingting, who was honest and hearty, was the most loved by the emperor and was promoted to Baolin, Liu Yuanzhi and Hanyue were happy for Ruan Mingting from the bottom of their hearts.
