When the palace maid in charge heard this, she glanced at Wei Qingqing first, and then replied cautiously: "Except for the pastries given by the Queen Mother, Concubine Rong has never eaten any food that has not been examined by the imperial doctor. ”

Emperor Wu was furious when he heard this, "Bold! The Queen Mother is Concubine Rong's aunt and grandmother, how can she harm her? ”

The palace maid in charge was so frightened that she trembled, and kowtowed vigorously to beg for mercy, "The emperor is angry, the slave and maid dare not blaspheme the queen mother, the slave and maid just tell the truth!" ”

"The Queen Mother has always loved Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong also trusts the Queen Mother very much, so she didn't let the doctor inspect the pastries given by the Queen Mother!" Concubine Rong first trusted the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and secondly, she respected the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, so she did not test for drugs.

The palace maid in charge naturally told the truth, but Emperor Wu has always served his mother to filial piety, and he can't allow the filial piety of the Queen Mother to be splashed with a little sewage, "This cheap maid dares to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother, and drag her down to the twenty boards!" ”

"Wait!" The voice of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan sounded immediately after.

Empress Dowager Xiaoduan waved her hand first to let the person who came to drag the palace maid down, and then said to Emperor Wu: "The emperor loves the mourning family's thoughts, and the mourning family understands, but this slave doesn't have the courage to bite the mourning family, it's just telling the truth!" ”

The palace maid in charge of Concubine Rong was personally selected by the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and all the family members worked under the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, so they were naturally trustworthy people, and they would never do this kind of self-digging grave.

Empress Dowager Xiaoduan looked at the palace maid in charge with heavy eyes, and asked, "Are you sure that except for the pastries given by the mourning family, the other foods used by Concubine Rong are fine?" ”

The palace maid in charge replied honestly: "As soon as Concubine Rong Niangniang had an accident, the slaves and maids brought out the leftover meals for breakfast and lunch, and the imperial doctors have carefully examined them. ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan ordered someone to pass on the imperial doctor, and asked with a frown: "Why don't you take the pastries given by the mourning family and let the imperial doctor check them?" ”

The palace maid in charge replied: "The pastries you gave are very appetizing to Concubine Rong's mother, so she ate all the pastries in one go, and there was nothing left for the imperial doctor to check. ”

In other words, the only thing that could go wrong was the pastry given by the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan!

The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan was furious, and slapped a few hard, "Someone dares to stretch out his hand to the Cining Palace of the mourning family and use the hand of the mourning family to do these unconscionable things!" ”

"Mama Liu, Mama Zhu," Empress Dowager Xiaoduan pointed out the two henchmen, and ordered in a deep voice: "Start from the small kitchen where pastries are made, and give the mourning family a thorough investigation of the entire Cining Palace!" The mourning family doesn't believe that they can't find out who is behind this! ”

"The queen mother is angry, I will definitely find out the murderer, and give justice to Concubine Rong's mother and son!" After Emperor Wu finished speaking, he instructed Chen Jinbao, "You go to Cining Palace with you, help the two grandmothers to investigate the matter thoroughly, find any suspicious person, and take it down for me regardless of who it is!" ”

Wei Qingqing has been silently watching from the sidelines, calmly remembering every word said by the palace maid around Concubine Rong, and slowly sorting out the case with these words.

First of all, Concubine Rong is the person supported by the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan with the power of the clan, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan will definitely not attack Concubine Rong, and this poison is definitely not under the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan;

Secondly, this poison should not have been given by the master who made pastries in the small kitchen, because when the small kitchen sent the pastries to the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, she didn't know that the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan would send her leftover pastries to Concubine Rong on a whim, and how could she poison the pastries in the pastries by the prophet?

If it is said that the poisonous pastry was directed at the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and Concubine Rong was just injured by mistake, it is unreasonable to say - if the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan is poisoned, the first person to be questioned must be the small kitchen that cooks food for her, and the person who poisoned her will not do this kind of self-digging grave;

In other words, it is likely that the pastry was poisoned on the way to it......

It is Wei Qingqing himself who can send pastries to Changchun Palace!

Wei Qingqing didn't stay along the way, and she didn't meet anyone, so it can almost be ruled out that someone on the road took the opportunity to poison and frame her.

Wei Qingqing sorted out the facts of the case here, and finally peeled back the real purpose of the murderer - this is another dead end set for her!

And this time it was the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan who was sacrificed to do the game the most, if she couldn't clear her suspicions, the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, who was originally her umbrella, was afraid that she would be the first person who would not let her go!

What a vicious game!

Presumably, the people behind the scenes were unwilling to be easily broken by her in the last dead end, so they made a ruthless move and pulled two lives to set up a situation to harm her!

What Wei Qingqing could think of, the experienced grandmothers in Cining Palace could naturally think of, and soon her suspicion was revealed.

"Back to the emperor and the queen mother, after the old slave's preliminary investigation, he deduced that the pastry should have been poisoned on the way to it." Mama Liu replied with her head down.

Emperor Wu was the first to speak when he heard this, "Who sent the pastries to Changchun Palace?" ”

"It was sent by the courtiers on the orders of the Queen Mother." Wei Qingqing stood up calmly, and defended herself without being arrogant or humble: "But the courtier's daughter is just a guest in Cining Palace, and she only has a few relationships with Concubine Rong, so there is no reason to harm her at all." ”

Yes, Wei Qingqing is not from this harem, and she has no close family members competing for favor in the harem, so she has no reason to harm Concubine Rong.

Wei Qingqing cleared up the relationship for herself, "Moreover, the hand of the pastry courtier was sent to Concubine Rong, if the courtier chose this opportunity to poison herself, wouldn't she dig her own grave?" ”

Wei Qingqing is right, the pastries were given by her personally, and others must be the first to suspect her if Concubine Rong has an accident!

At this time, Mama Liu dutifully added, "The old slave carefully inquired about the people in the small kitchen before, and several people said that before the incident, they had seen Miss Wei walking around the small kitchen with an abnormal expression, and the old slave dared to ask Miss Wei - why did you go to the small kitchen?" ”

Before Mama Liu's words fell, everyone looked at Wei Qingqing's eyes with a little more suspicion - Wei Qingqing was not a palace maid, so she just had to tell Xue Kite to do it, and there was no reason to go to the small kitchen.

Wei Qingqing listened to Mama Liu's words before she suddenly realized - it turned out that the old mama who appeared outside her bedroom was just a bait!

The purpose of the old mamma's appearance was to lure her all the way to the kitchen, so that she couldn't explain it all the way - even if she could explain why she went to the kitchen, someone would jump out and say that she must have bad intentions for wandering around the kitchen, but she just didn't get the chance to do it.

will also say that it was precisely because she didn't catch the opportunity to do it that she poisoned the pastries on the way to deliver them!

In short, unless she can come up with strong evidence and throw it in everyone's faces, no matter how she defends herself, there will be a bunch of false accusations waiting for her!
