Chapter 454: Coerced Confession

There was silence in the hall.

The wine presented to the crown prince and the crown princess killed the cat almost instantly.

It's scary to think about this!

If it weren't for the fact that the crown princess couldn't drink alcohol during breastfeeding, could it be that before leaving Qiwen Hall just now, the two of them drank the wine?

Emperor Long Yan of Qingyuan was furious: "Who sent this wine!" Why is it toxic? ”

In the royal palace banquet, he can be poisoned at will, is there a risk that the wine and food served in front of him will also be manipulated at any time?

Seeing this, Xiao Liuzi, who had accepted the bribe, fell to his knees with weak legs: "Your Majesty, it's not about the slaves, this wine was poured by Aunt He and then sent to Qiwendian!" ”

Aunt He was already trembling with fright, and the tray and wine glass in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

A flash of determination flashed in her eyes, and she opened her mouth to bite her tongue and kill herself.

Fu Yuanyuan stood beside her and kept an eye on her reaction, guessing her actions when the light flashed in her eyes.

She reached out and pinched Aunt He's jaw, and sneered: "Want to find death after doing such a thing? I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

"Father," Fu Yuanyuan pinched Aunt He with one hand and asked Emperor Qingyuan frankly, "This palace maid sent poisoned wine, and after being discovered, she wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide, it must be related to the poisoning." He also asked his father to allow his daughter-in-law to question her so that the real culprit could be found. ”

Emperor Qingyuan's eyes narrowed.

Concubine Hui on the side sneered: "The crown princess is not only strategic, but also strong in martial arts. I didn't think that I was even proficient in asking cases now, which really made this palace admire. ”

The corners of her lips hooked, and she turned her head to look at Emperor Qingyuan, "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, I'm afraid it's not suitable for child's play." It is understandable that the crown princess is angry because of the poisoned wine, but the trial still has to be handed over to the Criminal Justice Division for trial. ”

Fu Yuanyuan smiled slightly: "What the noble concubine said is very true. If the case is complicated and difficult to triage, it is naturally best to be tried by the Prudential Division in the palace. ”

"It's just that this incident happened in the Qiwen Palace," Fu Yuan's round eyes swept over the hall, fixed on Emperor Qingyuan, "This palace maid obviously has a lot to do with this matter, so the daughter-in-law wants to ask this palace maid in public who made her do the poisoning." ”

"The concubine is obstinately opposed, doesn't she already know who is behind the scenes?"

The queen covered her mouth and covered the corners of her lips, and scolded lightly: "Yuan Yuan, don't be rude." ”

Fu Yuanyuan hurriedly curted his knees: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

Emperor Qingyuan waved his hand: "Liang Jinzhong, don't let this palace maid bite her tongue and commit suicide, let the crown princess ask for a good life." ”

For biting the tongue and committing suicide, the palace naturally has a lot of means to deal with it.

The easiest thing is to plug her mouth with a cloth towel, but in this way, it is inconvenient for the princess to ask.

Gonggong Liang thought for a moment, and soon walked to Aunt He's side, took out a medicine bottle from his arms and poured it into her mouth.

Within a moment, Aunt He felt numb in her mouth, not to mention that the strength to bite her tongue was gone, even when she spoke, she was trembling.

Seeing this, Liang Gonggong saluted Fu Yuanyuan with satisfaction and retreated to the side to wait.

Fu Yuanyuan smiled at Gonggong Liang, and let go of the hand that was holding Aunt He: "This palace and ask you, the wine presented to His Royal Highness and this palace was personally sent by you?" ”

The palace maid lowered her head: "Hui Niangniang, it was sent by the slave maid." ”

Fu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want to use poison on His Highness and the palace?" Who instructed you to poison you? ”

The palace maid still hung her head, and her voice was straight: "No one instructed the slave maid, it was the slave maid who did it herself." ”

Is this trying to come to a dead or alive denial?

Fu Yuanyuan turned his head unhurriedly: "Father-in-law Liang, may I ask where this palace maid is?" ”

Liang Gonggong hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, this palace maid is a palace maid in the imperial dining room who is responsible for delivering wine." ”

Then it's not from a certain house.

Fu Yuanyuan thought clearly, and wanted to do this action, the other party would definitely not be stupid enough to use the palace maid in his own palace.

However, she didn't panic, and saluted Emperor Qingyuan again: "Father, the daughter-in-law has a unique pill in her hand, and she can tell whether a person is telling the truth or a lie. ”

She took out a bottle from her bosom, "If it's true, it doesn't hurt to take this medicine." If it's a lie......"

Emperor Qingyuan heard that there was such a pill for the first time, and he was interested for a while: "If it's a lie, what will happen?" ”

"It will be like being eaten by ants, and the itching will be unbearable, although it will not cause death, but the taste is comparable to biting your tongue and killing yourself or something."

"Can the daughter-in-law let this palace maid use this medicine for authenticity?"

Emperor Qingyuan heard this: "Accurate." ”

With the permission of Emperor Qingyuan, Fu Yuanyuan poured out the pill in the bottle, pinched the palace maid's mouth again, and easily pushed the pill in.

In the upper seat, Concubine Hui slowly narrowed her eyes.

Even if it was medication, she was sure that the palace maid would not dare to talk nonsense.

If you can't kill yourself by gritting your teeth at the first time, then the palace maid should know that even if she faces torture and endures death, she can't tell the truth.

The lives of the palace maid's whole family are in her hands.

To calm the panic in her heart, Concubine Hui gently pecked a sip of wine, and then heard Fu Yuanyuan say again: "This palace asks you again, did someone order you to take the poison?" ”

The palace maid was straightforward: "No." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that she suddenly stiffened her body as if in slow motion, and her eyes spread out in an instant, but in an instant, she suddenly hugged her head and let out an indescribable muffled snort one after another.

"Imperial sister-in-law," Qin Hao couldn't help but walk over and ask the curiosity in the hearts of most people in the hall, "This pill is really a lie to be so uncomfortable?" Is it okay to tell the truth? ”

Fu Yuanyuan smiled: "Naturally, I don't believe you ask." ”

Qin Hao crossed his arms around his chest, bowed his head and said, "This king asks you, are you a man or a woman?" ”

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but roll their eyes secretly, Qin Hao's question was really speechless.

The palace maid seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "The slave maid is a woman." ”

When the words fell, his whole body trembled, and the pain of eating his heart from before dissipated.

The crowd was stunned.

A hint of cunning flashed in Fu Yuanyuan's eyes: "This palace asks you again, who instructed you?" ”

"No, no one ......"

The palace maid had a hard mouth, but as soon as she finished speaking this time, the whole person fell to the ground with her head in her hands, wailing nonstop.

She reached out and grabbed her face and hands violently, but the tingling sensation deepened layer by layer, until she scratched her face and bleed, and her hand was bloody, and she still couldn't suppress the unspeakable pain.

Fu Yuanyuan snorted coldly: "I forgot to say just now, this feeling of ant devouring will get worse and worse as time passes, if you don't want to do this, it's best to say it!" ”

The maid rolled back and forth on the ground, screaming, and constantly banging her body against the ground, and the unpleasant force almost robbed her mind.

Fu Yuanyuan was not in a hurry, and looked at her calmly.

With a miserable scream, the maid frantically pulled her hair and shouted, "Slave, slave! ”
