Chapter 104: Framed Again
What the? Poisoned? How so? I was a little stunned! Someone actually dares to commit murder in the palace, it is too rampant.
Emperor Huo stood up suddenly, his face solemn, "What did you say?" ”
Xiao Wuzi replied tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, Zhao Yuan's palace maid Ning Xue said that yesterday Zhao Yuan Niangniang was a little uncomfortable and went to bed early. Moaned twice in the middle of the night, they also said that Niangniang's wrist hurt again, and they didn't care, today they were going to serve Zhaoyuan Niangniang to get up, only to find that Niangniang's body was a little stiff, and it had ...... It's out of breath. ”
The emperor frowned tightly, "Go!" ”
The emperor walked to the door and stopped, glanced at me and said, "Xiao Yuezi, you honestly stay here and don't go anywhere." ”
"Yes!" I nodded busily. If you love to join in the fun, you will die quickly, and this kind of thing is better not to join in the fun.
The emperor said to the guards next to him: "A few of you protect Xiao Yuezi, no one can take her away without my order!" ”
"Yes!"
I'm a little puzzled, why did the emperor say that?
I hid alone in my cabin, feeling more and more uneasy. Sun Zhaoyuan actually died, this person has repeatedly framed me, and he is vicious, why am I so uncomfortable when she dies? I don't hate her anymore, I just feel that she is so pitiful. She tried her best to win the emperor's attention, but it turned out to be in vain. I don't know where she offended someone to suffer this catastrophe? Who poisoned her?
I felt colder and colder, and I hugged myself tightly, but I still couldn't get rid of the cold air that came out of my heart. I used to just hear that the harem was very powerful, even if I stayed in the palace for a while, I was mostly in Yongming Palace, basically I didn't go to the harem, the only time I went to the imperial garden, I was coerced by Concubine Shu, shouted and beaten by Concubine Xian, and was framed by Sun Zhaoyuan. Even so, I'm just a little angry, but now I'm really scared, I'm afraid that one day I'll be killed like Sun Zhaoyuan, and I don't know who did it? It's horrible, no, I can't stay here for a moment. When the emperor comes back, I will beg the emperor to let me out!
There was a commotion outside, and a shrill voice sounded, "Our family is under the order of the Queen Mother, and we will go to ask Xiaoyuezi!" ”
I was shocked, why did the Queen Mother announce me? I looked through the window, and the shrill voice was the big eunuch Zhang Gonggong next to the Queen Mother.
One of the guards said, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm offended!" The emperor ordered, without the emperor's order, we can't let you take him away, and ask for Grandpa Zhang's understanding. ”
Father-in-law Zhang's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he shouted angrily, "You are so bold that you dare to disobey the Queen Mother's decree?" He pointed to the guards, "Are you trying to rebel?" ”
The guards were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed: "We don't dare, please ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness, it's really the emperor's explanation, we don't dare not disobey." ”
On one side is the queen mother and on the other side is the emperor, none of them dare to offend, they are caught in the middle, and they are really embarrassed. I couldn't help it, so I walked out and said, "I'll go with you!" ”
I also want to know what the Queen Mother announced about me?
The guards breathed a sigh of relief. One of them said: "Xiao Yuezi, you better stay, or we won't be able to explain to the emperor!" ”
Looking at their appearance, it seems that they really want me to go, but they are afraid that the emperor will blame them.
They don't want to be held responsible, and everyone knows to take advantage and avoid harm, and I don't blame them. I said: "Don't worry, I'm going to go by myself, and when the emperor blames it, I'll bear it." ”
I followed Gonggong Zhang to the Queen Mother's Ningkang Palace, the main hall of the Ningkang Palace was full of people, and the Queen Mother sat directly above, looking at me coldly, as if she was hostile to me. Although I have seen the Queen Mother for a long time, this is indeed the first time I have seen her head-on. Although she is not young, she is still radiant, even if the concubines are dressed up one by one, but no one can overshadow her demeanor, I am not surprised in my heart, the queen mother is the queen mother. The emperor was by the side, and I looked at the emperor, but the emperor turned his gaze to the side and did not look at me. The concubines in the harem basically came, and even Concubine Li, who rarely went out, came. Plus the imperial doctors, palace maids, and guards...... This large hall is crowded. But there were so many people, there was not a single sound, and I could hear their heartbeats in silence.
All eyes were on me. In front of the crowd, I saluted one by one.
But the Queen Mother didn't let me get up. The sharp phoenix eyes looked at me for a long time, and the majestic voice reached my ears, "You are Xiao Yuezi!" ”
I hurriedly said: "The slave is Xiao Yuezi!" ”
The Queen Mother said sharply: "Sure enough, it looks enchanting." It was you who poisoned Sun Zhaoyuan! ”
"Ahh I was stunned all of a sudden, how could I say it was me, what did I do! Alas, I was wronged again, why am I so unlucky!
I hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, you have wronged a good person, Xiao Yuezi has been waiting by the emperor's side these days, and has never left, if you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor." Besides, I have no grievances with Sun Zhaoyuan, why did I harm her? Queen Mother, don't listen to the villain's provocation! ”
I thought that if I said this, the Queen Mother would definitely ask the emperor, and if the emperor testified for me, I would not be suspicious. Who knew that the Queen Mother slapped the handrail and shouted: "Bold slave, do you still want to deny the evidence?" ”
I was stunned, "What evidence is conclusive, how can the evidence be conclusive when I haven't done anything?" ”
The Queen Mother sneered, "Imperial Doctor Zhuo, you say!" ”
"Yes, Queen Mother! Weichen was ordered to investigate the cause of Zhao Yuan Niangniang's death, and found that Zhao Yuan Niangniang's complexion was black and her lips were blue, apparently poisoned. I found a pin-and-eye wound on Zhao Yuan's wrist. It can be inferred from the signs of poisoning and the wound that the murderer pierced the blood vessels of the mother with a needle from the wrist, and the poison flowed from the blood into the heart, resulting in the poison death. ”
The Queen Mother said: "What kind of poison?" ”
"On the surface, Zhao Yuan Niangniang should have been poisoned by the golden snake. The amount of this poison is very small, it is not enough to be fatal, but Niangniang's wrist is broken, her body is weak, and she has taken a lot of pain-relieving and tonic medicine. Poison and medicine contradict each other, and this is what killed the mother! ”
The Queen Mother looked at a palace maid who was kneeling beside her and kept bowing her head and sobbing, and said, "Ning Xue, you say!" ”
The palace maid named Ning Xue wiped her tears, stopped crying, and glared at me fiercely with red and swollen eyes, "The Queen Mother must let Zhaoyuan Niangniang call the shots!" What a wrongful death she had! ”
She pointed at me and said, "It was this little eunuch who poisoned our mother!" ”
Isn't it strange how she could be so sure?
"That day we met this little eunuch in the imperial garden, he was unruly, the virtuous concubine Niangniang wanted to teach him a lesson, our Niangniang couldn't see it and said a few words about this little eunuch, who knew that this little eunuch insulted Niangniang, Niangniang was angry, and wanted to slap him, this little eunuch actually grabbed Niangniang's hand, a little eunuch actually dared to grab the concubine's arm, this is simply humiliating Niangniang, Niangniang is to beat him fifty boards, and then drive out of the palace, it is not too much. Our mother is broad-minded, kind-hearted, and careless. At that time, Niangniang's hand hurt a little, and Niangniang didn't care, after returning to Xiaying Palace, it hurt more and more, and Doctor Xuan took a look, and his wrist was broken, and there was an extra needle eye in the wrist for no reason. Niangniang panicked, wouldn't it be dangerous for the emperor to stay by the emperor's side. Niangniang was worried about the emperor's safety, so she sent someone to report to the emperor, and the emperor listened to the little eunuch's fallacy, thinking that Niangniang had broken his wrist by himself, not only did not punish him, but also grounded Niangniang. How is this possible, the mother is not stupid, how could she pinch her wrist by herself? Niangniang's mind is all on the emperor, even if the emperor wronged Niangniang, Niangniang didn't complain a word......"
