Chapter 412: In the Dark
On the Golden Palace, Wen Xinlan looked at Su Qizhe calmly, her eyes were hard to distinguish.
Su Qizhe met her gaze and did not relent: "Now that the prime minister's wife refuses to admit her guilt, she can also justify herself, if she is punished like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." However, since the Queen Mother appointed King Huiqing to personally investigate this matter, she thought that His Royal Highness King Huiqing already had evidence that he was nine out of ten, so don't hide it. ”
King Huiqing raised his hand: "Is this thing familiar to the Prime Minister's wife?" ”
Gan Peilin looked at the past, as if she had used it before.
"Bring a witness." The chamberlain in the Huiqing Dynasty bowed slightly, and then turned to look at Gan Peilin: "Madam doesn't remember it, don't worry, there are still witnesses." ”
As soon as she spoke, Wang Qingchan was brought up.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and for the queen mother, I have seen all of you." Wang Qingchan buried her head very low, and she didn't dare to look at Gan Peilin from beginning to end.
"What's going on?" Wen Xinlan pretended not to know, and looked at King Huiqing in surprise.
"The minister expected that the prime minister's wife was very cunning and difficult to deal with, so he had already taken precautions." King Huiqing stepped forward: "The king of the Prime Minister's Mansion can't search it, I think those things that can't see the light have already been destroyed." But the Great Sima Mansion can't be missed. Sure enough, the hard work paid off. The minister found the poison that poisoned Concubine Yun, and he had already asked the imperial doctor and the concubine to test it, and it was exactly the same as the bottle found in the Great Sima Mansion. ”
Speaking of this, King Huiqing yelled at Wang Qingchan, who was kneeling on the ground: "In front of the emperor and the queen mother, you still don't recruit from the truth?" ”
Wang Qingchan said again and again: "This thing is indeed the Prime Minister's wife." It was concocted before she got married, when she was still the daughter of Gan Fu. The concubine didn't know that it was poison, and that it was the spices she had transferred. Because Da Sima prefers her daughter and does not allow others to enter her boudoir without permission, these things have been kept to this day and no one has ever touched them. ”
King Huiqing's face showed a smug look, he stepped forward and said to Wen Xinlan: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, this Prime Minister's wife is very intelligent, the spices used are unique, and even the poison prepared is different. In this poison, the various flowers seem to be bland, but they are just right to kill Concubine Yun. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Qizhe: "King Qin thinks that such evidence is conclusive?" ”
Su Qizhe moved his lips, and it was difficult to refute for a while.
After all, Wang Qingchan is from Ganfu, and he doesn't know why she wants to help King Huiqing, but it is really difficult to refute for a while.
Gan Peilin didn't expect that the person who came to testify against her would be Wang Qingchan. She looked at her lying on the ground in a daze, and was silent for a long time.
Since the death of her mother, none of these women in Gan Mansion do not want to be in power to take care of the housework.
It's a pity that one followed one by one, and this good thing fell on Wang Qingchan's head, but it's a pity that she is not blessed to run this huge family business well after all.
"Someone." Wen Xinlan gasped, and said solemnly: "Take the prime minister's wife Gan Peilin down." ”
Jiang Yu's eyes were sharp, and he glared at the Queen Mother angrily, and the bones of his right hand that clenched his fist turned white at that moment.
Xu Baisen couldn't hold back his anger and almost rushed forward. was stopped by Xu Jingxian: "Don't mess around." ”
When Gan Peilin passed by Wang Qingchan's side, his face was not angry, but he sighed regretfully at her.
Wang Qingchan raised her head, met Gan Peilin's eyes, and quickly lowered her head again.
At this time, Jiang Yu had already given Lu Yao a look. Although Lu Yao was reluctant, his master's orders were orders, and he responded with deep eyes, ready to deliver the news and do it at any time.
"Don't mess around." Su Qizhe rushed to the situation and lowered his voice to warn Jiang Yu: "If you take a wrong step, you won't be able to turn back." ”
Jiang Yu ignored him, because he knew that Su Qizhe didn't understand how important Gan Peilin was to him.
Soon, Gan Peilin was tied to a high wooden frame.
This time it was better, she was not embarrassed, nor did she roll down the jade steps, and she still maintained everyone's beautiful demeanor from beginning to end.
She stared intently at the stacks of firewood piled up beneath her feet, and the smell was still so pungent as kerosene was drenched on them.
"Is the Queen Mother going to deal with me like this in front of hundreds of officials?" Gan Peilin raised his voice and asked Wen Xinlan, who came out.
The hundred officials who followed behind Wen Xinlan had different faces.
"So far, the mourning family wants to keep you, and there is nothing they can do." Wen Xinlan said bitterly: "The sins you have done yourself will naturally have to suffer by yourself." ”
"But what if I hadn't done it?" Gan Peilin asked.
"Whether you have done it or not, only God knows." The moment Wen Xinlan raised her head, a thunderous rumble sounded, which made her body tremble.
"It's going to be a thunderstorm." King Huiqing said unhappily: "Queen Mother, without further ado, this matter should be concluded as soon as possible." ”
Before Wen Xinlan could say anything, King Huiqing had already asked people to bring torches.
When Xu Baisen saw the fire, his whole body was going crazy. "Jiang Yu, what are you still doing standing here, do you want to watch her being burned to death?"
Jiang Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light, it was outright hatred. He would never let Gan Peilin be burned alive like this, never.
At this time, Wen Xinlan had already deployed heavy troops, just waiting for Jiang Yu's people to take him down in one fell swoop.
In fact, for her, it doesn't matter how Gan Peilin dies, she wants to be so anxious and miserable, she is going to Jiang Yu.
"Queen Mother, the concubine wants to gamble with you." Gan Peilin's voice was exceptionally calm.
It's like a cool breeze that soothes the stuffiness.
Wen Xinlan furrowed her brows and met her eyes: "What chips do you have now to make the mourning family nod?" ”
Gan Peilin smiled lightly: "Hasn't the Queen Mother always liked the spices that your mother made for you?" ”
"So what?" Wen Xinlan looked at her puzzled.
"Some flavors, once you like them, are obsessed. Niangniang has worn this spice with her all these years. Gan Peilin raised his chin slightly: "Queen Mother, can you roll up your sleeves and see what's on the inside of your arms?" ”
Wen Xinlan was puzzled and didn't move for a while.
After all, in front of hundreds of officials, this move is too indecent.
"What tricks does the Prime Minister's wife want to play?" King Huiqing said scornfully: "It's a pity that you don't have a chance. ”
"You will condemn me, and it is only a matter of time before I die. can go on the road with the Queen Mother, and there will be no loneliness on the Huangquan Road. Very good. ”
Before her words fell, Wen Xinlan suddenly felt a tingling pain in her forearm, like electricity, and poked her heart straight under her armpit.
The pain came suddenly, and her body went weak and she almost couldn't stand still.
It was King Huiqing who stretched out his hand and quickly hugged her by the waist: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Even if he had good intentions, such an act was too intimate, and everyone present couldn't help but avoid it.
Wen Xinlan violently pushed King Yeqing away, let Bao Que support him, and lifted his sleeves tremblingly.
A reddish-purple trace, spreading from the wrist to the place where the sleeve was covered, Wen Xinlan thought, this is the pulse of the heart.
"What is this?" Wen Xinlan looked at Gan Peilin in surprise: "You poisoned the mourning family?" ”
"How is that possible?" Gan Peilin said calmly: "The concubine body has always been under your control, how to poison it?" ”
"And what is this?" Wen Xinlan was suspicious: "It has something to do with your mother's spices for the mourning family?" ”
Gan Peilin kept silent, just looked at Wen Xinlan quietly.
"It can't be." Wen Xinlan herself overturned this conclusion. "This spice, the mourning family let the imperial doctor take a closer look, if it is poisonous, it should have been detected a long time ago......"
Gan Peilin remained silent.
King Huiqing was a little displeased, and said, "Queen Mother, don't go around in circles with this sinner." If it's time to burn, it's burned. After that, ask the imperial doctor to take a closer look and find out. She is a sinner, and she has always been under the control of the Queen Mother, so she can poison her. It's just a little trick that no one knows. ”
Bao Que glanced at King Huiqing unhappily, and retorted confidently: "Your Highness's words are not right. In case the prime minister's wife is really poisoned, she means, no one can solve it, isn't it really ruined the life of the queen mother, and you are responsible for this crime? ”
At this time, Xu Zhongshen stepped forward from behind, stood in front of Wen Xinlan, and arched his hand: "Empress Dowager, the old minister knows the reason for your illness. ”
"Does the Protector know?" Wen Xinlan held on to her spirit and lowered her sleeves.
"Among your spices, there is a Ruixiang, but this Ruixiang is not an ordinary Ruixiang, but a myrtle wolf poison Ruixiang. Because it is toxic, wearing it can play a role in repelling insects. As long as you pay attention to the proportions, you will never hurt the phoenix body. Xu Zhongshen raised his eyebrows: "This flower is not easy, the old minister finally found it for the little girl." She will come and make spices for you. ”
"Lord Protector, are you old and confused?" King Huiqing didn't have the patience to listen anymore: "You actually found poisonous flowers and asked your daughter to make spices for the Queen Mother, it seems that the heart of rebellion was already in the beginning." ”
"Shut up." King Yeqing opened his voice coldly, startling King Huiqing.
"What are you yelling about?"
"The protector of the country is an old minister of the three dynasties, and when it comes to meritorious service, you and I are inferior." King Yeqing said unhappily: "What's more, the dosage is appropriate, wolf venom Ruixiang can only repel insects, how can it kill people?" What's more, when the daughter of the Xu family gave spices, the queen mother may not be the queen, where did she come from to rebel? ”
King Huiqing was choked by him for a long time and was speechless.
Xu Zhongshen bowed his hand to the Queen Mother and continued: "And if this poison can be fatal, unless it ......"
With a look of love on his face, he looked at Gan Peilin who was being held on the side.
Gan Peilin replied with a bright smile: "Unless you meet a tantric monk." ”
Wen Xinlan's face turned pale for a moment, a little incredulous. "It can't ......"
"Last night, Concubine Yun took poison in front of the concubine, and the smell of poison has not been forgotten by the concubine. Among the poisons that killed Concubine Yun, there must have been a tantric monk. Gan Peilin's eyes showed a cold light: "The concubine body is just curious, if it is really me who poisoned the corpse and poisoned Concubine Yun in order to destroy the corpse, how did the Queen Mother accidentally hit and be burdened by this poison?" Poisoning, you have to deal with it, the Queen Mother will not be you holding the body of Concubine Yun, kissing and kissing, right? ”
