At this time, Qin Yining already understood that even if she argued at this time, it would be useless, and all people who knew the current affairs would only "perceive the holy will" and would not care about the truth of the matter at all.

A smile rose on Qin Yining's lips, and he was still in a cold sweat from fright, but at this time, he completely calmed down.

She didn't do anything wrong, she was able to have a clear conscience. If she really lost her life today, it was also a helpless thing, from the day she married Xiaoxiao, she had already made a choice for her future, even if she died, although she had regrets, she had no regrets.

Li Qitian saw that Qin Yining was silent about current affairs, and the words that he had prepared to refute were useless, and he choked on his chest in one breath, and he was inexplicably panicked.

It's really the same as Xiao Zhixi, it's very difficult!

"I can't imagine that the Qin clan can actually do such a thing." Finally, a more clever edict opened his mouth, so that Li Qitian's words would not be cold.

Immediately, some people reacted, and they also condemned Qin Yining's "accumulated crimes" in accordance with the holy will. Qin Yining looked at it coldly, among those who condemned her, there were also several Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Shizi who had been polite to her when they met, although the men did not talk about it as directly as the female dependents, they also shook their heads and sighed one by one, and those who called them brothers and sisters did not stand up and say a word.

The world is hot and cold, and people are warm and cold, and that's it.

Li Qitian said: "Since this is the case, I will ......"

"Back to the Holy One. The concubine has something to say. ”

Just when Li Qitian was about to issue an order to punish Qin Yining, the queen suddenly stood up and saluted, interrupting Li Qitian's words.

The Empress Dowager Maitreya's hand, which was counting the jade prayer beads, suddenly stopped, and suddenly glared at the queen.

Li Qitian's words were interrupted, and he was also very unhappy in his heart, since he practiced Zuo as the emperor, it has been many years since he was interrupted without saying a word.

But with so many outsiders present, Li Qitian couldn't have a seizure, so he had to say, "What does the queen say?" ”

There was a layer of sweat in the queen's palms, Li Qitian was her husband, and he should have been the person she was most intimate to spend her life, but now in front of him, she had to say a word three times in her heart before she dared to speak. It was the first time for the queen to interrupt Li Qitian's words in public.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and saluted: "Holy Lord, the concubine feels that there is something strange in this matter, saying that the Qin family plotted to kill the emperor's heir, there is no evidence, and the concubine does not believe it......"

"Shut up!" Li Qitian's face was pale, and he slapped his palm on the table, and the tea bowls on the table clanged, "You are Brother Hao'er's mother, and you actually speak for the murderer!" Thin gruel? They are all holding their wrists, and what evidence do you want! ”

The queen's face turned pale when she was reprimanded, and she nervously wrung her cuffs.

Concubine Yu stood up knowingly, her delicate face was full of tears, and she said timidly: "What the Holy Lord said is very true, the concubine bumped into her and poisoned her that day, if the concubine bumped into her halfway and made her fall into the poisonous bird's nest, His Highness doesn't know what will happen at this time!" ”

Concubine Yun also said: "Yes, although the queen is charitable and gentle, she must also distinguish the occasion, the saint is for the sake of work, and the saint is the son of heaven, can you still slander a female generation of the Qin family?" ”

"Yes." Princess Tana only hated herself that Da Zhou's words didn't work at a critical moment, and she couldn't interject, so she could only make up for it.

Li Qitian's face sank like water, and he said in a deep voice: "The queen's face and heart are soft, I know." But in the face of the prisoner who murdered the emperor's heir, he was soft-hearted, and he really shouldn't. ”

The queen gritted her teeth and had the intention of retreating, but this matter was indeed not investigated, and it was obvious that there was something strange in it. She didn't want to wronged people, and she didn't want the real murderer to go unpunished, but the saint insisted on doing so, and her arms couldn't reach her thighs......

"Courtiers, thank you for the queen's words." Qin Yining turned around on his knees and gave the queen a big salute.

The queen shook her head, guilt flashed in her eyes, she shook her head and took two steps back, not daring to say more.

Li Qitian breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to speak, a familiar waiter suddenly trotted in outside the door, and took a closer look, he should be serving in Chengqian Palace.

"Back to the Holy Heavens." The little chamberlain saluted, leaned close to Li Qitian's ear and whispered for a while.

Li Qitian's face did not change at all, but those who knew him well enough would find that his expression had gradually become dull.

This is a manifestation of Li Qitian's strong anger.

The little waiter replied and retreated.

Li Qitian pursed his lips and looked at Qin Yining expressionlessly, as if he wanted to cut off a piece of meat on her body with his eyes.

The Queen Mother, Concubine Yun and others don't know why.

The nobles and the edicts also looked at each other.

No one knew what was going on, everyone waited for the Holy Lord's order, and the princess and princess of Zhongshun would be in a different place. But the Holy One was slow to speak.

A suffocating silence spread throughout the hall, and everyone barely dared to gasp.

Qin Yining still knelt in place, calmly waiting for Li Qitian's disposal, but as time passed, Li Qitian still didn't say a word, as if he had become a statue, which made Qin Yining's heart have all kinds of speculations.

Something must have happened.

After two pillars of incense, Li Qitian slowly spoke, "Qin Clan, what explanation do you have for the assassination of the imperial heir?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the Queen Mother was even more shocked.

No one could have imagined that Li Qitian didn't have an investigation originally, and he wanted to kill Qin Yining, why did he suddenly change his opinion and give Qin Yining a chance to explain!

Li Helan, who had been silent, finally couldn't suppress her temper, and got up anxiously and saluted: "Brother Huang, it is an indisputable fact that the Qin family plotted to kill the emperor's heir, Brother Huang is merciful, but don't condone the guilty and let people get away with it." ”

Li Qitian shook his head at Li Helan and waved his hand to signal her to retreat.

Li Helan frowned, her face was full of anger, and she said anxiously: "Brother Huang, you can't ......"

"Stand down." Li Qitian's voice was gentle, but he was domineering, which scared Li Helan into a cold sweat.

The Queen Mother saw that Li Qitian was really angry, and she didn't mean to change her mind, so she glanced at Li Helan fiercely.

Li Helan didn't know what she was doing wrong, and tears of grievance swirled in her eyes. Brother Gao was obviously not like this just now, why did he suddenly change.

Qin Yining had already saluted at this time and said, "Holy Lord, the courtiers do have something to say. ”

"Speak."

"Yes." Qin Yining saluted and carefully explained what happened that day, including the fact that the bird's nest was made in the small kitchen of the Queen Mother's palace, the embarrassment that the Queen Mother was for her, and how Concubine Yu suddenly appeared when she took someone to deliver the bird's nest, and how she fell in love with her inexplicably.

"There are a lot of doubts about this matter. The bird's nest came from the small kitchen of Ci'an Palace, and it was brought by the hands of the palace people, and there are so many people who handle it, it should be investigated in detail.

"When the courtiers sent bird's nests, Yu Concubine saw that the courtiers suddenly came out of the bushes on the side of the road when they passed by, and the road was a remote path, and there was nothing good around, not to mention, it was still a path to and from Kunning Palace and Ci'an Palace. Concubine Yu did not come from the Queen's Palace to Ci'an Palace that day, and the probability of hitting her head-on was not high, of course, Concubine Yu could also be said to be just right. But it happened to come out of the bushes and bump into the courtier, which is absolutely strange.

"Besides, the courtiers implore the Holy Lord to investigate in detail the bird's nest and the pug that was poisoned that day, even if something happened to the people, and there was an autopsy, no one can be sure that the pug must have been poisoned, and maybe there was no poison in the bird's nest."

Qin Yining explained in detail, and the people present finally understood the events of the day in their hearts, and their eyes were no longer dark.

There are indeed many doubts about this matter.

But the most suspicious thing is that the Holy One did not investigate, and only locked people up for a few days and was about to be convicted.

What this represents, not to mention, everyone understands.

Li Qitian's face was dark and gloomy, Qin Yining shook this matter out, and his attitude was likely to become the talking point behind people's backs.

This cunning hob meat is as difficult as Xiao Zhixi!

Li Qitian's face stiffened, and he was about to speak, when there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a small attendant came in to spread the word.

"Holy Lord, the two maidservants beside Prince Zhongshun said that there is important evidence to be told."

When Li Qitian heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Pass." ”

The waiter outside the door immediately shouted loudly.

Qin Yining's face was solemn.

The Queen Mother was wide-eyed.

How did she forget this stubble! Concubine Shun came to tell her that the two maidservants beside Qin Yining were missing, and she asked people to look for them in private, but they didn't find it, and she didn't care, so it gradually disappeared.

I can't imagine that people would come out like this!

"Emperor." The Queen Mother said quickly and urgently, "These two maids are not credible, they followed the Qin family to deliver the bird's nest that day, but when the guards arrived, these two people were already gone, so they only caught the Qin family." These days, the mourners have been secretly looking for these two people, but they have not been able to do so, and today people suddenly appeared, and the saints carefully have bad intentions! ”

The queen said: "The queen mother is angry. Those two handmaidens had no ill intentions. They have always been by Hongu's side. ”

"What!" The Queen Mother was shocked and glared at the Queen angrily, "You are crazy!" Dare to take in two fugitives! ”

The queen felt that she was about to be killed by the dissatisfied eyes of Li Qitian and the queen mother. But seeing the picture of the Queen Mother jumping in public, she was not afraid at all.

The Queen Mother was angry. These two maidservants are not fugitives, and neither are the Qin clans. The concubines taking them in are not hiding criminals, even if they really commit crimes, and the saint does not speak, who is qualified to convict them? What's more, the saint hasn't spoken yet. ”

The Queen Mother was angry, her face was red, and her heart became extremely uneasy.

Li Qitian held his breath and said in a deep voice: "Bring it in." I'm going to see what they have to say. ”

Qin Yining was already very grateful at this time, she never imagined that it would be the queen who helped her hide the rock candy and Jiyun.

After a short time, the chamberlain led two women dressed in pale green palace maids and radiated out.

Bingtang and Jiyun knelt beside Qin Yining and respectfully saluted Li Qitian, "Slaves and maids see the saints, see the masters." ”
