Chapter 340: Interrogation

He put the hot tea in Xu Xiangjin's hand and patted the back of her hand as if soothingly.

"You're just right now, you shouldn't stand for too long, drink hot tea to moisten your throat first, sit and rest for a while, and then I'll come."

Their blatant show of affection is like sticking a knife into Shuang'er's heart, but now that she is being interrogated now, she can only dare to be angry but not speak.

"Shuang'er, since you don't want to answer the question you just asked, then let's go another way, didn't you say that you knew very well about the poisoning before, then just retell me the 1510 recount of the incident at that time, and no detail is allowed to be left behind, but if you say a wrong word, I will treat you as lying."

What Shuang'er said at that time, although it was a confession that was thought out in advance, but after all, many of them were played on the spot, and what was poisoned or not was made up of nonsense by her, where could she repeat it as it was.

She pinched her thigh tightly, relieved her tension with pain, and insisted on not letting go.

"What happened before happened too suddenly, and the concubine was frightened, so now I can't remember the details at all, Your Majesty don't ask the concubine."

"yes, you can remember the details." Xu Xiangjin seemed to be bored with the tea lid to knock on the teacup one by one, and the regular sound spread throughout the room one by one, which made people more nervous, and in Shuang'er's opinion, the sound was like a talisman, which made her restless.

"No matter how smart a person is, if he repeats what he said before, it is probably difficult to say word for word."

Shuang'er was punctured to the most worried, and she was so nervous that she even wanted to get up and run away immediately, but she knew very well that the emperor had already made all preparations, and if she escaped, she would only run to a dead end.

"What about me now, I don't need you to explain anything else, but you have to tell me who is behind you, you have to think about this matter, don't take the blame for others, once you are unjustly killed, you can only be a lonely ghost!"

Xu Xiangjin held her chin and looked at Shuang'er, her expression was like a normal chat, but the words she said made Shuang'er feel chills for a while.

Just now, she obviously didn't admit it, and now if she loosens her mouth again, it won't be a slap in the face, not to mention that her mind is blank now, and she doesn't dare to say anything at all, so she can only keep her head down and stay up little by little.

But Xu Xiangjin and Zhan Qing didn't have that much patience to confront her, and after a while, Zhan Qing was irritated and summoned two guards.

"Since you don't want to speak now, let's spend it slowly, depending on how long you consume, but don't leave the palace gate here until you think about it!"

Shuang'er was escorted to the side hall, where a small bottle of poison, a white silk, and a knife were all sharp weapons for suicide, as soon as Shuang'er entered and saw these things, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground with weak legs, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

But the door behind her was ruthlessly shut, and no one cared about her at this moment, this side hall was usually uninhabited, and there was already some dust, and there was not even a quilt on the bed, and only water was delivered for three meals a day, so that she could barely maintain her life.

At this time, Shuang'er felt that everyone wanted to kill her, and even looked at the bed with curtains, but the bed without a bed felt like a coffin, and would rather lie on the ground than go up.

It was probably closed for less than three days, Xu Xiangjin estimated that it was almost over, opened the door of the side hall, looked at the haggard person lying on the ground, and probably guessed that Shuang'er's mentality had almost collapsed.

"How have you been here these two days, it's much better than being on death row, I know you're hungry, so I've brought you something delicious to prevent you from being able to eat again."

Who doesn't know that the last meal of the condemned prisoner is incomparably rich, where does Shuang'er dare to eat, so she can only sit on the ground and shake her head and retreat.

"I don't eat, I can't eat, I don't want to die, I can't die now, I just had these glory and wealth, I definitely can't die."

Xu Xiangjin raised her eyebrows, expressing her satisfaction with her current appearance, and asked Xingxiang to wipe the stool on the side, took an orange from the fruit sent, sat on the stool and ate while waiting, until Zhan Qing was late, and then began to ask slowly.

"I'm not a person who will casually ask for other people's lives, but you also know that our majesty is not a person who will easily show mercy, we have given you too many opportunities, and now your patience is running out, whether you can survive or not depends on how you choose, so, do you want to say it now or not?"

Shuang'er looked at Zhan Qing with a pale face for help, but found that his eyes were always on Xu Xiangjin, and he didn't even look at her from beginning to end, so he could only bite his lip in despair.

"Can you let me eat something first, I'm hungry and a little weak now, and I'll tell you everything I want to tell when I'm full."

Xu Xiangjin shrugged his shoulders and asked Xingxiang to put all the food in the food box on the table one by one, all of which were Shuang'er's favorite food, Xu Xiangjin still remembered.

Frost wiped her tears with a handkerchief that was not so clean, got up from the ground and made a very dignified gesture, and began to eat the food on the table very solemnly.

At first, her movements were very elegant, but the action of eating was not slow at all, and after a while, half of the food had entered her stomach, wiped her mouth with the original handkerchief, and sat still in that position for a while, and when Xu Xiangjin thought that she was not speaking again, she spoke slowly and logically.

"I wronged you before, I put the cinnabar, and I spent money to instruct those eunuchs, and I did all of them."

Xu Xiangjin knocked on the table with her fingers, waiting for her next words, because she knew that Shuang'er before was just a little palace maid, where did she get the ability to engage in such a big and seamless conspiracy, if there was no one behind her, heh, unless she was stupid!

"The information you are talking about now is what I already know, and what I want to hear is what I don't know, who is the person behind you? Still unwilling to confess? ”

Shuang'er didn't even dare to raise her head, she pinched the edge of the table tightly, her hands were already a little white, but she still insisted on shaking her head.

"Shuang'er, I didn't expect you to be so loyal, it's really admirable, but have you forgotten that murdering the emperor's heir is a big crime of the nine clans, and it can't be solved by you alone, and the people in your family will help you bear the guilt together, even if you want to be not lonely on Huangquan Road, you won't let the family accompany you..."

Xu Xiangjin's eyes glanced at the fingers that Shuang'er was about to buckle off the corner of the table, and the words he said were more and more ruthless.

"Who put the poison in Jin'er's pastry before that!"

Zhan Qing suddenly interjected such a sentence, the poisonous pastry that the Queen Mother intercepted from Gui'er to give to Xu Xiangjin made him haunted him all the time.

"I don't know, I don't know anything right now."

The pastry matter Shuang'er always thought that Gui'er had sent it to Xu Xiangjin, and she didn't think that it would fall into the hands of the emperor, so she was suddenly asked, and she was so frightened that she raised her head suddenly, and she hurriedly lowered it, and the blood on her face seemed to have faded.

Xu Xiangjin glanced at Zhan Qing with some complaints, didn't she mention this matter before, just now she forced Shuang'er to a certain extent, and was suddenly interrupted by him, and now she has to do it again, but the routine just now is no longer useful.

Xu Xiangjin glanced at Xingxiang, she quickly led the order out, and after a while, she walked in and followed by two guards, and the person escorted was Gui'er, and Gui'er was just like what Shuang'er promised before, and now she is her palace maid waiting, so she naturally understands Shuang'er's affairs very clearly.

"Since you don't want to say it yourself, then I'll find someone to say it for you, Gui'er is your good maid, very timid, and her biggest wish is to be a little sprinkler in the palace, and when she is old, she can leave the palace, and then marry a good family, and live the rest of her life in peace, but!" Xu Xiangjin was stunned suddenly, "You just dragged her into the water when she didn't know it, do you say she hates you?" ”

There is no need for Xu Xiangjin to ask, from the resentful eyes in Shuang'er when she entered the door with Gui'er, she knew that no matter what secrets she knew, she probably couldn't hide it now.

"Your Majesty's mother spares her life, the slave and maid are really forced, the slave and the maid didn't know before, the slave and the maid just once accidentally saw that the frost concubine secretly took a handkerchief embroidered with brocade characters from His Majesty, and went back to cut it with scissors, talking and saying..."

She glanced at Xu Xiangjin a little timidly, and the last few words seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't say whether she was alive or dead.

Xu Xiangjin rolled her eyes and said for her, "Doesn't it mean that sooner or later you will kill me, anyway, she didn't kill her, and now it's not certain who will kill whom?" ”

These are taboos for Zhan Qing, not to mention the handkerchief, he didn't know about it, he always thought that he accidentally put it somewhere, but now after listening to Gui'er's words, he was even more angry.

"What a slave who betrays his master and seeks glory, don't you think that what you do is self-inflicted humiliation, do you feel lonely and satisfied these days, you might as well talk about it now, how I let you sleep before!"

Perhaps because she felt that it was really unspeakable, Shuang'er's originally pale face suddenly turned red, and the expression on her face was even more ashamed.

Xu Xiangjin suddenly became interested at this time, she had already heard about Zhan Qing's daily summoning of Shuang'er to sleep, and once she secretly got up in the morning to take a look at Shuang'er who came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she knew that it was definitely not that simple.
