Chapter 316: Cold Heart

Maybe she couldn't wait to interrogate Xu Xiangjin, Concubine Zhen was very fast this time, she was just able to get out of bed and walk freely, the first thing she did was to go to the Queen Mother and beg her to be the master of her children, the Queen Mother simply didn't change places, directly regarded her Kunning Palace as a court, invited Zhan Qing over, and then asked someone to bring Xu Xiangjin.

When Zhan Qing first arrived in the lobby of Kunning Palace, Concubine Zhen, who was sitting in her position crying, suddenly knelt down and asked him to make decisions for her in a hoarse voice.

Zhan Qing always wanted to enter Yong'an Palace these days, but the Queen Mother seemed to have guessed that he would do this, so she deliberately asked her most trusted grandmother to guard the door with her message, so that Zhan Qing had not been able to see Xu Xiangjin for so many days, and was irritable, Concubine Zhen did this, not only did not get his sympathy, but made him subconsciously feel particularly disgusted, and directly avoided her kneeling and sat next to the Queen Mother.

"Isn't it just going to interrogate Concubine Pity today, what else does Concubine Zhen want, kill her directly!"

Concubine Zhen's crying voice stopped abruptly, and she hurriedly looked at the Queen Mother for help.

The queen mother knows that the emperor can't be forced too tightly now, otherwise things will be reversed, and it may not be the unlucky one at that time.

"Concubine Zhen's body is just right, let's sit down quickly, don't cry and break your body, why don't you tell the mourning family about how you were poisoned."

After all, the evidence is conclusive, even if Zhan Qing doesn't want to listen to it, he has to listen, and the facts are told to him, and he wants to bend the law for personal gain after a while.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother should also know that the concubine helped the concubine before, and then the concubine saved her, so the two of us have always been friends, and later when the concubine committed suicide, the concubine thought she was too afraid to go to her, but she didn't expect that the concubine at this time was abnormal, and she felt that instead of dying as tragically as Concubine Ling, it was better to use poison to open up a way for herself in this harem."

Concubine Zhen pretended to have palpitations and looked at the emperor, then lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then continued.

"How could I have thought that the first person she used this method turned out to be me, but I just took pity on my child, and became a victim of her foothold in this harem, he didn't have time to see the world, he didn't have time to call me a mother, how could he..."

As she spoke, Concubine Zhen began to whimper again.

The Queen Mother was convinced of what Concubine Zhen said, she had hated Xu Xiangjin in the first place, and now that she can catch such a handle, it is naturally a powerful amplification.

"Look at who you are protecting wholeheartedly, I really didn't want to touch her for the sake of your face, but she, it really disappointed me, if you didn't try your best to protect her, maybe it won't be long before I will hug Huang Sun!"

Zhan Qing wanted to say that if it weren't for Xu Xiangjin, maybe there would be no children at all, and her Empress Dowager still couldn't hold a child, but this matter couldn't be explained clearly, so he could only be speechless.

He hasn't even slept in the past few days, and he's been thinking about a way to save Xu Xiangjin, but after thinking about it, he can't even think of a word to defend her.

"Concubine Zhen, you are not in good health yet, you will go to Chang Xin Palace first, and I will naturally send someone to tell you about the follow-up."

Although Concubine Zhen really wanted to see Xu Xiangjin's fate here, some things were too much, and she had to stop in moderation, so she could only withdraw with some regrets.

It's just that when she walked to the gate of Kunning Palace, she deliberately stood there for a while, waited until Xu Xiangjin arrived, and walked in front of her proudly.

"Concubine, I really don't want to hurt you, but who made you hurt my child, I have to find someone to accompany him, so I can only wronged you."

Concubine Zhen's tone of voice was pitiful, but it was particularly disgusting to hear it in Xu Xiangjin's ears.

"People are watching the sky, retribution will come back sooner or later, you dare to kill your own child, and you are not afraid that he will pinch your neck in the middle of the night, think about Concubine Ling, think about the abolished queen, how long do you think you can be proud, I just hope that you will die worse than them by then."

"Then wait until you have that life, wait until then, now Your Majesty is worried that my health is not good, so let me go back to the palace to rest, it's a pity, I can't see your fate with my own eyes, I can only go back and wait for the good news."

Now Concubine Zhen is just when she is triumphant, so she doesn't care what Xu Xiangjin says, and she keeps watching Xu Xiangjin walk into the hall, and then she leaves proudly.

Because he is now a prisoner, Xu Xiangjin was ordered to kneel down by the Queen Mother as soon as he walked to the center of the hall.

"Xu Xiangjin, don't be honest, how did you poison Concubine Zhen, she trusts you so much, how can you be so vicious?"

"Queen Mother, you are always preconceived, if your biological daughter is framed like this, will you still insist that she did it, I have already said that the poison was not given by me, I rarely sit in the position of this so-called concubine, how can I care that others will think that the prince is higher than me, I thought that the Queen Mother had worked here for so many years, and she had already developed a sharp eye, but I didn't expect that now I can't even see that Concubine Zhen poisoned herself."

Anyway, it has come to this point, Xu Xiangjin simply stopped hiding it, and no one planned to give face to what to say.

"Presumptuous, I see that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, the poison has been found in your bedroom, and you dare to quibble here." The Queen Mother said and ordered her subordinates, "Come on, go and bring me the soldier who searched for the poison." ”

Because it had been prepared for a long time, the person brought it very quickly, and knelt directly next to Xu Xiangjin, as a witness, how did Xu Xiangjin feel that he was shaking more than himself, and probably never thought that he would be called by the Queen Mother in this situation.

"Slaves meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, meet the queen mother, mother thousand years old thousand years old thousand years old."

The Queen Mother saw that he was finished, and seemed to want to turn around and worship Xu Xiangjin, who was kneeling with him, and hurriedly raised her hand to stop him.

"Enough, tell me how you found the poison that day?"

After all, the poison has been found, and the Queen Mother's voice is a little sworn when she speaks.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words." The guards didn't even dare to raise their heads, "That day we entered the Yong'an Palace, almost all searched, according to the requirements of the Queen Mother, even the concubine's bedroom was searched, but nothing was found, and when we were about to come out, we found that the house of the palace maid next to us had not been searched, so we took someone in to look for it, but I didn't expect to find it." ”

The Queen Mother's face had a slight crack, "Are you sure you really didn't find it from the concubine's bedroom." ”

"It's not—" The guard looked determined!

"That must be because the concubine was afraid that her deeds would be revealed, so she put the poison in her palace maid!" The Queen Mother saw that the little guard would not turn, so she could only say it differently.

Did you find it in Xingxiang, with that little girl's brain, she would never be able to do the work of undercover, that is to say, Concubine Zhen had already sent someone to put it there, after all, she has always been vigilant, Xingxiang is very aggressive, there will be no problem at all if she puts it there, and this Concubine Zhen's investigation is really clear enough.

"Anyway, I still say that, it's not what I did, I resolutely deny it, I was framed by Concubine Zhen, no matter how many times I was asked, I still only have this answer."

Xu Xiangjin is such a dead duck with a hard mouth, in front of the emperor, the queen mother is not good for her, if she doesn't sign and draw, there is no way to convict Xu Xiangjin, and a few people are really so consumed.

Just when several people were staring at each other in such a strange atmosphere, suddenly Yan Kang's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, just now there was news from Changxin Palace, saying that Concubine Zhen suddenly committed suicide!"

"What!"

What Xu Xiangjin didn't expect was that the first person to stand up in a hurry was Zhan Qing, and suddenly his heart was cold.

In fact, Zhan Qing didn't think much about it at all when he was in a hurry, he just simply felt that if Concubine Zhen died at this time, then Xu Xiangjin's crime would be even heavier, and he wouldn't know how to save her at that time.

Once a person is in a hurry, he will not care about anything, he hurriedly rushed to Changxin Palace, and the Queen Mother took Xu Xiangjin over with the psychology of watching jokes.

By the time everyone arrived, Concubine Zhen had already been rescued and had been treated by the imperial doctor, but there was an extra bruise on her neck, and as soon as she saw the emperor, her tears immediately fell.

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault, maybe it's because this child has nothing to do with me, after all, Concubine Lian is my good sister, and she is the only person I can talk to in the palace here, please spare her, don't hurt her life, otherwise I won't even have this only friend."

Concubine Zhen's words can be said to have reached Zhan Qing's heart, he can just take this opportunity to save Xu Xiangjin's life, in order to prevent Concubine Zhen from changing her words, seeing Xu Xiangjin standing aside, he who had not spoken during the interrogation just now, suddenly walked in front of Xu Xiangjin.

"After all, now the evidence is conclusive, your words are unfounded, and besides, you shouldn't hurt Concubine Zhen, now, seeing the current situation, do you admit guilt or not?"

At first, when he saw Zhan Qing walking to Concubine Zhen's bed to look at her in a panic, Xu Xiangjin was already a little panicked in his heart, but he didn't expect him to question himself in public, she had always held out hope, he could believe her, it seemed that it was his own delusion!

Xu Xiangjin suddenly felt that she was like a clown jumping off the beam now, it was really ridiculously tight, and she couldn't help but make her want to laugh a little, so she simply laughed out loud, and the tears of laughter were about to come out.
