Chapter 165: If you don't distinguish between flowers, you can't distinguish incense

Concubine Hui didn't trust herself, which was not surprising to Su Wanrong's expectations. She lightly blessed her body, lowered her eyebrows obediently, and with the movement of bending her knees, she raised her eyebrows, and said meaningfully: "If the concubine doesn't ask like this, the concubine will not have any thoughts." However, the mother asked so, and the concubine had to say more. ”

"Oh?" Gao Lingxi was a little surprised, her red and warm lips were only hooked to a corner, and she sneered before she said lightly: "What does Concubine Chun want to say, in front of the queen's mother, there is nothing that cannot be said." ”

"Dare to ask Concubine Hui, why did Concubine Xian come?" Su Wanrong came to Chuxiu Palace to serve pastries, and she didn't think that Concubine Xian would be there. It's just that, and he was poisoned as if he was blocking the evil for Concubine Hui, which inevitably makes people feel too worried.

Although Concubine Chun's question was very vague, Lan Xin immediately understood what she was thinking. "Didn't Concubine Chun think that Concubine Xian would collude with Concubine Hui to poison the pastries you sent to Chuxiu Palace, and then frame the blame for you, right?"

When Gao Lingxi heard this, he burst out laughing. Feeling reckless, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, and blessed her body guiltily: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine just thinks that if Concubine Chun really thinks so, it will be too ridiculous." In a hurry, I hope that the mother will not blame. ”

Lan Xin motioned to Jinlan to help Concubine Hui up: "You are physically inconvenient, so you don't have to bow at every turn." Sit down first, then take your time. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Gao Lingxi smiled, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of mockery. The pregnant concubine was originally the target of everyone, let alone at such a time...... It's too late for her to be inconspicuous, so how can she deliberately cause trouble. I really don't know if this pure concubine is too smart, or if a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts.

Su Wanrong looked at the queen's warm and serious gaze and smiled lowly: "Whether the queen believes it or not, the concubine is not poisoned. Don't say anything else, but for the sake of Yongzhang, the concubines will not do such a harmful thing. ”

Lan Xin couldn't help but scold, according to Concubine Chun's mind, you are indeed not stupid enough to bring poisonous pastries by yourself. What's more, poisoning is just the most inferior strategy, and it is not difficult to investigate. On the contrary, it is the unwarranted slander and framing that is the means that the harem cannot prevent. "Concubine Xian doesn't know what to do at the moment, and this palace will not listen to any unsubstantiated remarks."

"The concubine is very relieved, as soon as she comes to the clean, she will clear herself, and if she has not done it, she has not done it. Second, the queen is fair and respectful, and will not allow others to frame the concubine at will, so that the concubine will suffer injustice. ”

Xue Guining walked in with a bow, and according to the emperor's instructions, he said word by word: "Queen Qiyu, the imperial doctor has already treated Concubine Xian, and the hibiscus jasper cake filling that Niangniang eats contains a lot of arsenic. The emperor instructed the servants to inform the queen that the poison was hidden in the filling of the pastry, not sprinkled on the surface. ”

Su Wanrong was surprised and almost bit off her tongue, and the pain on the tip of her tongue was like lightning strikes, and she spilled all over her body. "The emperor instructed Father-in-law Xue to make it clear that the poison was hidden in the filling of the hibiscus jasper cake, not the floating poison sprinkled on the cake?" If four words are omitted, it is nonsense. Of course she didn't dare to question the emperor's orders, but how could the poison be stuffed, so how could she be okay if she ate it?

Su Wanrong's mind was buzzing, and she only saw Xue Guining's lips moving, but she couldn't hear what he said at all. However, his nodding action has accurately conveyed the emperor's holy will.

"How is this possible, this is absolutely impossible. The concubine obviously ate the pastry herself. Su Wanrong shook her head in disbelief: "The queen mother, the maids and maids in the palace of the concubines can all testify, they watched the concubines make pastries, gave the concubines a hand, and also saw the concubines taste it." If it is poisonous, how can the concubine be safe and sound? ”

Lan Xin was about to speak, but it was Concubine Hui who interjected first.

"Isn't Concubine Chun joking with the queen mother and the palace? Can't you control which piece of your own pastry is poisonous and which is not? This palace should also be framed by someone, so it seems that you are deliberately making the illusion that you have been wronged, so that everyone thinks that you will not be so confused and bold. Hmph, Concubine Xian really blocked the palace for the palace, otherwise it would be the palace and the imperial heir in the womb who are lying on the bed now. Gao Lingxi gritted her teeth, and a small piece protruded from her temple: "Dan, please ask the queen to be the master of the concubine." ”

"Confused." Lan Xin glanced at Su Wanrong coldly: "Pure concubine, you already have a third elder brother, and you are in the position of the concubine master, what else is not satisfied." Why didn't even Concubine Hui refuse to let go of the child who was less than two months old? Bengong has repeatedly tolerated you and forged you, just hoping that you can change. But why, you don't repent, and you have become even more chaotic in the sixth house. Do you really think that with an heir, you can be lawless?

Haven't you thought that the third elder brother would be dragged down by you and lose a good future, not to mention, because of your outrageous behavior, you are so ashamed that you are ashamed of yourself? ”

Su Wanrong suddenly felt that an invisible net had already imprisoned her. No matter how hard she tried, no matter how hard she struggled, it didn't help. Could it be the queen's ploy? The queen has been planning for a long time, and it must be for today.

Unyielding with hatred, Su Wanrong didn't kneel, not for the side, she hadn't done it herself, she really didn't need to repent, she didn't need to beg for mercy, and she didn't need to bear the notoriety that was enough to make her nine clans beheaded. She couldn't help but think, Fucha Lanxin, the person who offended you was me Su Wanrong, why are you not even willing to forgive my relatives? Where has all the generosity and kindness that you have spoken of gone?

Why pay Yongzhang's life, why, why is this?

"So far, what else do you have to say, Concubine Chun?" Gao Lingxi knew that the queen and Concubine Chun were not in harmony, and some words for the queen might attract criticism. So she rushed out: "The pastry was made by you, and it was sent to the Chuxiu Palace of the main palace without delay along the way, and now the imperial doctor has detected arsenic in the pastry, can you still slander it?"

Saying that the people close to you can't prove it for you, and even if you can, the emperor won't believe it at all. This palace will naturally ask the emperor and the queen to intercede for you, no matter how bad it is, it will definitely give you the dignity you deserve. There's no need to waste any more time, so let's do it. ”

"How can a concubine confess if she hasn't done it?" Su Wanrong's voice is still the sound of a tactful warbler, and her face is still the grace of a small jasper, but what she exudes around her body is no longer the delicate and delicate posture, but the toughness that can rarely be seen. "The filling of the pastry was poisonous, and it was not stuffed by the concubine. If Concubine Hui wants to cure the sins of her concubines, she must also come up with real evidence that can prove that her concubines were poisoned.

For example, how arsenic is hidden in the stuffing, and if anyone sees the concubine do it...... Otherwise, if the concubine is asked to confess, even if the concubine is executed immediately, the concubine will definitely not kneel. ”

"This palace is not without suspicion in her heart, Concubine Chun, you are also a mother, and you attack your young son, such a thing that has lost your conscience, this palace thinks you can't do it." Lan Xin sighed faintly: "Before, you said that the pastry was made by you, and there was no delay along the way." In fact, even if you don't admit it to death, the emperor will be enough to ask you for the crime.

But this palace still wants to give you a chance, if you can tell who poisoned you under your nose, then the emperor may believe it. ”

Lan Xin said this, not to give Concubine Chun an opportunity to pass the blame on others. Instead, I want to see if she will change her words, whether she is still so selfish at the most critical moment.

Unexpectedly, this time, Lan Xin really guessed wrong. Concubine Chun shook her head, her extremely determined gaze kept intersecting with herself.

"The queen, the concubine has never done such a thing, and the concubine firmly believes that there will be no such troublesome slaves and maids around her. And as a sign of respect, the hibiscus cake was made by the concubine herself, and it was not handed over to the slave maid to dot it at all. Su Wanrong panicked in her heart, not for the side, but for her life to be too short and sad.

She didn't get the power and status she wanted, and even her husband's love was just a flash of light on the surface of the lake, and it didn't last long after all.

Gao Lingxi didn't know the queen's intentions, but she was really scared. If Concubine Chun really put the blame on the maid, could it be that the queen really wanted to spare her this time? From this point of view, the queen is not really resentful of Concubine Chun, she is still a kind-hearted person.

Fortunately, Concubine Chun did not change her words, and she did not plan to harm others and benefit herself. Gao Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and settled down: "Queen Mother, the concubine thinks that since Concubine Chun said so, things couldn't be clearer." Although the concubines are fine, and the imperial heirs in the womb are also unhindered, the concubine is still uncertain. The concubine is willing to ask the queen to make it clear that this heinous concubine should be dealt with? ”

Su Wanrong snorted coldly, Concubine Hui, who had always been gentle and smiling, actually had such an aggressive momentum. Even in front of the queen, she dared to show it. It can be seen that the women in this harem are really a person with a thousand faces, and no one is a fuel-efficient lamp.

"The concubine is willing to eat the pastries made by the concubine herself in front of the queen and the concubine Hui to prove her innocence."

Su Wanrong's voice lowered at this time, and the implication was that she was willing to die. "But the concubine asked the queen for permission to allow the concubine to meet the emperor."

"I'm ready to eat the hibiscus jasper cake stuffed with arsenic, why are you still asking to see the emperor?" Gao Lingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Hurt Concubine Xian, are you still willing to see you again as the emperor?" ”

Seeing the pastry that fell under the chair where Concubine Hui was sitting just now, Su Wanrong hugged her heart of death: "The concubine has not done it, even if she dies, she must tell the emperor the concubine's heart." She stepped forward quickly, and swooped down on the piece of cake that had fallen to the ground, threatening to shove it into her mouth.
