Chapter 693: An Unexpected Murderer
Everyone was surprised and surprised to hear that there was such a method?
The Twelve Princes (After Nangong Qing succeeded to the throne, he should be upgraded to the prince.) Although the status is noble, after all, he is only a little more than a year old, and he is still a child, who knows what he will suddenly fall in love with? Could it be that the Twelve Princes touched something casually, and there was a problem with this thing?
For a while, everyone thought more and more far-reaching, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
In case the twelve princes accidentally and happen to come across something related to them, such as who takes care of the flowers, who is responsible for wiping the ornaments, etc., then wouldn't these palace maids and eunuchs have problems and should be suspected of being murderers? Wouldn't that be bent into a trick and the head fell to the ground?
Countless people trembled, their faces were colorless, and they all stared at the little person staggering.
The most panicked was Concubine Li, because the first thing to check was her Begonia House.
In the end, she used to be the granddaughter of Wei Guogong, although Li Shuyun was named a concubine, she felt wronged after all. Her Wei Mansion is a public mansion, and it is definitely a little more noble than the queen's maiden Hou Mansion. And what happened to the queen's mother's family is really embarrassing, if it weren't for His Majesty's protection, I'm afraid that the queen's mother would have been with that one long ago...... was beaten into the cold palace together.
But this kind of words, Concubine Li can only think about it in her heart, and she doesn't dare to reveal it at all.
After entering the palace for so long, His Majesty has come to her only a handful of times, and the queen mother is simply pampered, and she gave birth to a little prince, which is the time when the spring breeze is proud. On the other hand, these concubines, contouring or something, all of them are still pitifully looking forward to His Majesty occasionally coming to sit, which is simply the same fate!
What's even more terrifying is that if there is a problem with the Begonia Residence that is identified by the Twelve Princes as her today, I am afraid that she will be finished.
"Your Majesty, the concubines will never dare to do such a rebellious thing, Your Majesty will know it......" Concubine Li's heart trembled, looking at Nangong Hong with a pair of big eyes, staggering and looking around, as if she was interested in everything, she was about to faint.
Nangong Qing didn't speak, his hands behind his back, and his face was serious and angry.
The palace maids and eunuchs in Haitang Ju knelt on the ground, no one dared to move, and the rest of the people stared behind the little man to see if he would find anything and pick it up, so as to end the consequences of their worries.
I only heard Luo Qingluan say beside Nangong Qing: "Your Majesty, the poison in the Twelve Princes is very tricky, but as long as you can find the person who poisoned you, you will naturally be able to ask for a way to detoxify." I have stimulated the toxicity in the Twelve Princes' bodies, allowing him to respond to the same things in the outside world. ”
Echo? What is it? It's so profound that everyone can't understand it.
Nangong Qing's opening just happened to speak to everyone's hearts: "Princess Chu, what do you say this echo is?" ”
The sound of white clothes is like snow, and the whole person has a transcendent aura, as if he is far away from the turbidity of the world, independent and Lingran, as noble as the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains. Luo Qingluan smiled slightly, and a meaningful feeling appeared on his face: "Your Majesty has not personally experienced this echo, and I can't say it clearly, but in short, it is the essential attributes between matter and matter, and there is a connection. ”
"But what is the specific reason, I will buy a pass first, and wait for the twelve princes to determine what is wrong, and then I will tell the reason, so that the poisoned person will have no argument and confess."
"Well, that's fine." Nangong Qing nodded.
Everyone became more and more nervous, although Concubine Li knew that the matter had nothing to do with her, she was not sure whether she would be framed. After all, the entire harem, except for the queen mother, belongs to her highest position, and those who are jealous of her, who knows if they will use some cruel means to harm her?
Everyone held their breath, only the nurse followed behind Nangong Hong, for fear that he would fall. And wherever Nangong Hong went, what he looked at, everyone's heartbeat accelerated, and when he looked at a pot of blooming dahlia in the courtyard with a smile, the eunuch in charge of this dahlia almost knelt down.
Fortunately, Nangong Hong didn't look at it, but he wasn't interested anymore, and turned his head and staggered towards the Begonia Residence.
Standing on the steps, Nangong Hongren's calves were short and couldn't go up, and when he was about to lie down and use his hands and feet, the nurse quickly kept him: "Where is Hong'er going, come, the nurse will hold you." ”
Hurriedly hugged Nangong Hong up the steps, although there were only three steps, but the nurse still broke out in a cold sweat.
Usually the twelve princes learn to walk, and they will knock once or twice, although the queen mother only has this only son, she never dotes on her, but she is distressed. Occasionally, the queen mother's distressed face wrinkled, but she would only ask the twelve princes to be careful next time, and let the nurse pay more attention, so as not to lose her temper.
But now, how dare the nurse be negligent?
The Twelve Princes have been poisoned, and now they are looking for the murderer! Her Majesty is still watching from the side, in case the Twelve Princes accidentally fall and hurt, wouldn't it be her sin to cry and not find the murderer?
Nangong Hong got off the ground again, walked with shaky steps, and walked in holding on to the door frame.
"What do the twelve princes want to see, I'm here, no, nothing ......"
Li Concubine just licked her face and wanted to say something, Nangong Qing's eyes were like electricity, and she looked directly at her and said, "What do you want to say?" The voice was cold and cold, as if she was suspecting something, Concubine Li shrank her neck in fright, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the concubines, concubines, this house has not been cleaned up, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will accidentally knock the twelve princes......"
"Really?"
Nangong Qing dragged out his voice, and then cold: "I see that you have a ghost in your heart!" Move! ”
Concubine Li knelt down in fright: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, the concubines have definitely not harmed the twelve princes!" The heart of the concubine, the sun and the moon can be ......"
"Noise!" Nangong Qing listened impatiently, and said coldly: "Come on, drag her outside, kneel and wait!" ”
The two forbidden soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged the pale-faced Li Concubine out, who regretted not being at the beginning, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he could only kneel in a proper manner. Wu Xiurong, who didn't dare to step forward and could only watch outside, smiled slightly: "Sister, why are you panicking, Your Majesty and Princess Chu just brought the twelve princes to take a look, and they didn't say that my sister really hurt the twelve princes, my sister waited with peace of mind, and it would be fine." ”
Listening to Wu Xiurong's comforting tone and actually gloating, Concubine Li glanced at her fiercely and didn't say a word.
Hmph, she didn't do it anyway, no one can wronged her! His Majesty has always been sage, and his heart is soft-hearted, as long as the twelve princes don't find anything, then she will teach this Wu Xiurong a good lesson.
Who knows, after only a moment, I heard the exclamation of the nurse from the house: "Twelve princes, hurry, hurry up to the nurse, don't rob it...... This thing is poisonous...... Poisonous! ”
What, did you find out?
Everyone outside heard that their ears were pricked up, but Concubine Li felt a sigh in her heart and almost fainted.
With a burst of chickens and dogs jumping inside, I don't know what the twelve princes found, and after a while, Nangong Qing walked out with a gloomy face, followed by Luo Qingluan, and the nurse who was holding Nangong Hong, with a palpitating face.
"Concubine Li, what else do you have to say?" Nangong Qing's face was full of murderous intent and his eyes were gloomy.
What, is it really Concubine Li who wants to murder the twelve princes? Everyone looked at her one by one, a little disbelieving, but relieved.
Concubine Li was even more frightened, and hurriedly distinguished: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" The concubines did not harm the twelve princes, and the concubines were wronged! ”
"Still say wronged?" Nangong Qing's voice fell, and with a snap, he threw something in front of her.
Dripping and rolling, a spherical colored sachet is clearly seen by everyone, this sachet is embroidered with patterns, the embroidery is delicate and delicate, one end is tied with a red rope buckle, and the tassel falls below, which is very beautiful.
Wu Xiurong and others could naturally see that this was a sachet made by Concubine Li herself who was bored on weekdays, and she also asked the palace maid to pick flowers to dry and put them in, and usually put them at the head of the bed.
But I didn't expect this thing to be found by the twelve princes.
"This, this is the concubine's sachet."
Concubine Li picked up the colored sachet and was full of grievances: "Your Majesty, how can this sachet be poisonous?" It's full of petals that the concubine put in herself, so there's absolutely no problem......"
Nangong Qing said coldly: "Who knows what else you put in besides the petals?" Moreover, even if it is a petal, it may be poisonous, what method can't you think of in order to harm others? Concubine Li, it's actually you, you disappointed me so much! ”
"Wronged, wronged, Your Majesty......"
Concubine Li was in a hurry, and kowtowed again and again: "The concubine didn't harm the twelve princes!" Moreover, how can you say that a concubine is harmful to people just based on a sachet! The concubine is wronged, and the concubine is not satisfied! ”
As she spoke, she stared at Luo Qingluan with a look of resentment: "Princess Chu, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to frame me?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
If Concubine Li plotted to kill the queen, maybe it's still possible, right? After all, in order to compete for favor, it is possible to do some of these things. It is a bit ridiculous to say that she went to murder the twelve princes and the only biological son of the Queen Mother.
But Nangong Qing seemed to believe it, and didn't listen to her justification at all, even Luo Qingluan was confident, and he didn't have the slightest bit of guilt in wronging people.
"I said before, what to choose, it's all in the twelve princes, I don't know that the twelve princes will fall in love with your sachet, this can only be said, Concubine Li, no matter how secret you are, you can't escape the eyes of God."
Luo Qingluan said lightly, his face unmoved, "I know you want to cry out for injustice, but since I can use this method, it naturally makes sense." The Twelve Princes have a strange poison in their bodies, and even the imperial doctors can't cure it, so I can only use special methods. If it weren't for me reading the classics collected by the second prince, I am afraid that I would not have guessed that you were under this kind of strange poison. ”
Is it really poisoning?
Everyone was confused, it seems that Concubine Li is usually gentle and gentle, although sometimes she speaks a little harshly, but after all, she is the highest except for the queen's mother, and her pride is normal.
But she actually poisoned the Twelve Princes?
What is the reason for this, and what method is used?
