The queen looked suspicious, and couldn't help but clench the armrests of the circle chair in her hands.

"You say, Princess Zhongshun's food box was overturned, and the snowball was poisoned after eating it? Concubine Yu, are you serious? If you dare to lie to deceive the mourning family, the mourning family will definitely make you look good! ”

"Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't dare, what the concubine said is true! Prince Zhongshun poisoned the concubine's dog, turned around and ran away, and the guards went to chase after her. ”

At this time, Li Helan, Concubine Yun and Princess Tana all came back to their senses.

Li Helan looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment and said, "Queen Mother, didn't you give the bird's nest sent by the Qin family to the eldest prince!" How, how ......"

Princess Tana said, "She poisoned? ”

"Huh!?" Concubine Yu exclaimed, sat down on the ground, and said in horror, "How can this be! In this way, the Qin family wanted to poison the eldest prince, but was accidentally broken by the concubine halfway, and Xueqiu mistakenly ate the bird's nest that should have been given to the eldest prince? ”

As soon as he said this, there was silence in the room.

Murdering the emperor's heir, everyone knows what kind of crime it is. Qin Yining was afraid that he was not crazy, so he took this opportunity to start!

Concubine Yun kept stirring the handkerchief in her hand, and her face was pale and pale.

Li Helan said anxiously: "Queen Mother, don't you arrest that slut soon, she actually dares to poison Brother Hao'er, she is going to rebel!" ”

The Queen Mother muttered: "If I hadn't met you halfway, wouldn't the eldest grandson of the mourning family be killed!" ”

"Bang" slapped the table, the Queen Mother got up angrily, gritted her teeth and said: "Arrest the Qin family for the mourning family!" ”

Princess Tana said: "Queen Mother, you must severely punish that poisonous woman!" It must have been you who asked her to perform etiquette, and she held a grudge that took the opportunity to poison the bird's nest! ”

"It must be so!" Concubine Yun also said, "I can't imagine that she dares to be so bold and dare to poison the imperial heir!" He deserves to be punished! ”

Princess Tana took the opportunity to say: "That's true, isn't it strange that she is a woman in this matter?" Is there someone who instructed me? "The spearhead is directed at the owl.

Li Helan's heart jumped, but in the end, she still looked at Xiao Xiao, and said: "Maybe she is trying to take revenge on her mother, she hasn't gone out these days, how can she be instructed?" ”

Princess Tana didn't know the previous relationship between Li Helan and Xiao Xiao, but at this time, Li Helan had a little opinion of her own, and wanted to refute that it was difficult to argue with the Queen Mother's biological daughter because of the Queen Mother's presence, so she only said: "What's going on, you will know it when you check it." ”

As he spoke, there was a rush of footsteps outside. A guard rushed over to reply to the lieutenant outside the warm pavilion.

After hearing this, the lieutenant immediately came in and saluted: "Back to the Queen Mother, the commander of the guards has brought the prisoners." ”

"Bring in!" The Queen Mother scolded.

Because of the Queen Mother's sentence of "Escort in", Qin Yining was really escorted in by the commander of the guards, pushed and shoved, and sat on the ground with an unstable center of gravity.

The Queen Mother sat on the main seat, and said with a sinking face: "What's the matter!" ”

The commander of the guards arched his hand and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, when the minister was inspecting the imperial garden, he heard someone shouting for assassins, so he rushed over and arrested the fleeing Prince Zhongshun. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother waved her hand, the commander of the guards retreated to the door.

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and glared at Qin Yining coldly, "Qin Clan, why do you want to murder the imperial heir!" Say, Who commanded you? ”

Qin Yining struggled to get up, but there were two chamberlains of Ci'an Palace standing beside her, one on the left and one on the right, and when she saw that she remembered, she immediately stepped forward and pushed hard, and another chamberlain kicked Qin Yining's knee and kicked Qin Yining, who was just about to stand up, to his knees again.

Qin Yining snorted, her legs were in severe pain, she also knew that she was lonely and couldn't occupy the peak, so she simply sat on the ground, squinted at the Queen Mother and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers didn't poison it, the bird's nest was brought out from the small kitchen in the Queen Mother's palace, and it wasn't made by the courtiers themselves, how many people did it go through?" Shouldn't we find out from the root cause when it is said to be toxic?

"What's more, the charges of the courtiers, you have not been investigated, you have a big hat buttoned down, the court trial prisoners still have three sessions, and you have to give time to find evidence to collect evidence, why did you get to the queen mother, you convicted the courtiers with a word? Spread the word, isn't the Queen Mother afraid of ridicule from all over the world? ”

"You!" The Queen Mother grabbed the tea bowl and threw it at Qin Yining, the broken porcelain pieces smashed in front of Qin Yining, and the splashed broken porcelain scratched the back of her hand.

"Bold! Dare to openly contradict the mourning family! Come on, slap her mouth fiercely to the mourning family! ”

"Yes!"

An elderly grandmother behind the Queen Mother immediately rolled up her sleeves and came out, went around to the front, raised her slap and slapped her hard.

Qin Yining's face was beaten to the side, and the corners of his mouth immediately cracked, dripping blood.

Qin Yining wanted to resist, but this was the palace, surrounded by the Queen Mother's people, if she resisted, she would only be punished more harshly, and she had no other way but to endure it.

The grandmother opened the bow left and right, hitting Qin Yining's mouth four or five times in a row, and the loud slapping echoed in the warm pavilion, Qin Yining's cheeks quickly became red and swollen, and the blood lines at the corners of her mouth dripped straight down on the placket of her clothes, revealing a few gorgeous red plums.

As soon as the Queen Mother raised her hand, the grandmother stopped her movements and stood aside.

The Queen Mother said again: "Say, why do you want to murder the emperor's heir!" Could it be that your husband's family wants to rebel? ”

"Is the Queen Mother planning to bend into a trick?" Qin Yining was already unfavorable when he spoke, but he still fought on the basis of reason.

"First, the courtiers have no reason or motive to poison the emperor's heir, and the courtiers don't have to compete for favor in the harem to seek a future for their children, why do the courtiers do this?

"Second, the bird's nest was sent from the Queen Mother's Ci'an Palace, the palace people who made bird's nest from the small kitchen, and the palace people who delivered bird's nest on the road, how many people's hands passed through? Why didn't the Queen Mother investigate, but indiscriminately bit that it was the courtiers who did it?

"Third, Concubine Yu Niangniang deliberately bumped into the courtiers in the imperial garden, causing the bird's nest to fall to the ground, she said that the pug she raised was killed by eating bird's nest, but who can be sure that the pug did not eat other poisons before?

"In the people, if there is a discrepancy in the case, it has to be investigated, and there are still tricks to test, why did you get to the Queen Mother, but she didn't ask for evidence, didn't look at the reason, and only took the courtiers to ask for the crime? I still insist on climbing into the house of the courtier!

"The Queen Mother did this, aren't you afraid that the heroes of the founding of the country and the families of the nobles will know about the chill!"

Qin Yining's words are reasonable, in fact, everyone knows that things should be done this way. The Queen Mother insisted that Qin Yining did it without investigation, which was already very strange.

But who is the Queen Mother? That is the biological mother of the saint, the master of the harem, and what she does is hard to guarantee that it does not represent the meaning of the saint. Who has the guts to say anything at this time?

Besides, if it is an ordinary noble, it is just that, but the younger brother is today, if he wants to try Qin Yining, he will go through the Zongren Mansion, and no matter how bad it is, there will be three sessions of trial, but the Queen Mother is directly convicted, so it is a little unreasonable.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was speechless by Qin Yining, Li Helan immediately stood up, pointed at Qin Yining and scolded: "Slut! I know that you are a black-hearted and blue-hearted slut! You murdered the prince, and you still have a word? Do you want to clear your name with your incorruptible tongue? Tell you that you are dreaming! ”

Li Helan turned back to the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, don't listen to her nonsense, just lock people up, don't give water to drink or eat for a day if you don't recruit for a day, don't believe her and tell the truth!" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she bowed her head and ordered: "This matter involves the emperor's heir, and the matter is serious, and the mourning family must not let the person who mutilates the emperor's heir come!" ”

"Yes." The guards gave up.

"Lock up the Qin family in mourning, isn't there a side hall behind Ci'an Palace! It's locked up there! ”

"Queen Mother, you are so merciful!" Li Helan said dissatisfiedly, "Such a prisoner should be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department!" What else do you leave her to do in Ci'an Palace! ”

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "After all, she is the wife of Prince Zhongshun, although she is guilty, Prince Zhongshun is dedicated to guarding the south for the country, and he should not insult the identity of Prince Zhongshun." Lock her up, and the mourning family will ask the saint before making a decision. ”

"Yes." The guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed Qin Yining's arm left and right, and dragged him out.

Just as this happened, a lieutenant outside the warm pavilion said loudly: "The queen has arrived!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the queen in a red narrow-sleeved shirt walking quickly, and saw Qin Yining's long hair scattered and her cheeks red and swollen being dragged by someone, and immediately reprimanded: "Stop it all for the palace!" ”

The guards hesitated, but finally stopped.

The queen glanced at Qin Yining deeply, walked into the warm pavilion quickly, and curtsied to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, I don't know what the Qin family has done wrong, you want to punish her like this?" This thing ......"

"Queen! The Qin family poisoned the bird's nest sent by the mourning family to Brother Hao'er, intending to murder the emperor's heir, don't you, a mother, no longer care about the life or death of your son, and you have to defend a criminal woman? The Queen Mother interrupted the queen's words very quickly.

The queen was stunned for a moment, her face turned pale, and then she shook her head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Qin family is not such a person, she also saved the eldest prince before." The concubine dared to use herself as a guarantee, and the Qin family would never poison and murder an innocent child. ”

"You vouch? Mourners look at you stupidly! What an innocent child, the Qin family simply has an antipathy! ”

"The Queen Mother is clear! Have you checked this? You have condemned the Qin family without checking or asking, how can you convince the people of the world when you say it? ”

"Bold!" The Queen Mother shouted angrily, pointed at the queen with one hand, and said angrily, "Okay, queen, have you made up your mind to turn your elbow out?" You excused the Qin family in every possible way, aren't you worried about the eldest prince at all? You are so unqualified to do this! It seems that it is necessary for the mourning family to raise Brother Hao by their side, so as not to be harmed by ignorant people! ”

The queen's heart is beating sharply, the queen mother is threatening with the power to raise the prince!

The queen wanted to raise her children herself.

But her conscience does not allow this kind of unjust case that is strange at a glance to appear in front of her eyes!

"The concubine believes in the Qin family, and if the Qin family directly poisoned the bird's nest, wouldn't it be easy to be discovered? The Qin family is not a fool, why would she do this kind of thing that people can know at a glance that she did? The queen argued.
