Chapter 139: Opening the Mouth to Confess
The ten-day appointment with Princess Leyi, because of the assassination, three days have passed, and there are less than seven days left. So Shui Qingqing didn't have time to delay any longer, and no longer hesitated, and finally took out the prescription that she had been carrying with her and presented it to Emperor Jin Ming.
Emperor Jin Ming, who was already in shock, had not yet recovered from what Shui Qingqing said about the prince chasing her and killing her and the nameless, and saw her take out the prescription, Emperor Jin Ming's brows tightened more and more, and his majestic face was almost dripping, he looked at her for some reason, and said in a deep voice: "What is this?" ”
Shui Qingqing sneered and said: "This is the prescription that the queen asked the royal court to prescribe to me when I was pushed down by Bai Lingwei and injured the back of my head......
Hearing that this prescription was actually prescribed by Empress Chen to Wang Zhongren for Shui Qingqing, Emperor Jin Ming's eyes sank, and he lowered his head and looked at the prescription in front of him.
The next moment, Emperor Jin Ming's eyes fell on the last prescription of the medicine, but he was suddenly shocked!
Although he didn't quite understand the effect of this prescription, Emperor Jin Ming recognized the poison called 'imperial rice' at the end of the prescription.
Emperor Jin Ming not only knew that Yumi was A Hibiscus, but also knew that A Hibiscus was poisonous to the human body, so when he saw it appear in the queen's prescription for Shui Qingqing, anger erupted in his eyes, and his face was terrifyingly angry!
If Emperor Jin Ming is not mistaken, Shui Qingqing had an accident on the eve of marrying the prince, and she hit her head and became a stupid person, but on the eve of the wedding of the two, the marriage was dissolved.
Emperor Jin Ming couldn't help but think again that Empress Chen disliked what happened to Shui Qingqing when she was in exile and the past, and in order to regret the promise she made to Princess Wuning back then, she did not let Shui Qingqing marry Li You, and did not hesitate to collude with the Yang family to prevent Wu Ning from recognizing Shui Qingqing......
The two things are connected, Emperor Jin Ming doesn't need to think about it, he knows that it must be the Yang family's obstruction that did not succeed, coupled with his marriage later, so Empress Chen gave birth to another plan to deal with Shui Qingqing.
And this plan, you don't have to think about it, you know it, it was to take advantage of Shui Qingqing's head, pretending to be concerned and asking Wang Zhongren to poison her, and finally succeeded in preventing the wedding of the two......
My heart was cold, even if I had been the emperor for so many years and had seen through the world, Emperor Jin Ming had never seen such a sinister human heart.
Shui Qingqing couldn't guess Emperor Jin Ming's thoughts, but looking at his face from the shock at the beginning to the slowly gloomy and disappointed face, Shui Qingqing felt sorry for the emperor in front of him who was over half a hundred years old.
Staring at the prescription in his hand, Emperor Jin Ming seemed to fall into deep thought, and suddenly, there was even more silence in the quiet imperial study, and there was a faint sadness in the air......
I don't know how long it has been, there were footsteps outside the door, but it was Wu Yong who led Wang Zhongren from the Tai Hospital over.
Emperor Jin Ming came back to his senses from his contemplation, his eyes fell coldly on Wang Zhongren, who bowed in, and said coldly: "The county lord was frightened when he was assassinated out of the palace, you help the county lord take a good look and see if there is any discomfort in his body." ”
I don't know if it's because the hurried road is too hurried or the charcoal fire in the hall is too strong, Wang Zhongren's forehead has been bursting with cold sweat, and the whole person seems to be out of his soul, and his steps are vain.
Because, in the past three days, there has been a major assassination in the capital, and Wang Zhongren's family has also undergone a big change, which makes Wang Zhongren feel bitter and afraid day and night......
After listening to Emperor Jin Ming's words, Wang Zhongren stabilized his mind, asked Shui Qingqing to sit down on the soft chair on the side, stretched out his hand and gently put it on Shui Qingqing's left wrist, and concentrated on Shui Qingqing's pulse.
Wang Zhongren has a habit of taking the pulse, he likes to close his eyes, so that he can better concentrate and make the pulse more accurate.
But today, I don't know whether he is suspicious or weak-hearted, Wang Zhongren, who closed his eyes, has always felt that there are two sharp eyes looking at him.
You don't have to think about it to know that these two eyes, except for Emperor Jin Ming and Shui Qingqing, there will be no one else.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongren couldn't help but think of the sudden incident at home, and his heart became more and more flustered, and the fingers on Shui Qingqing's wrist couldn't help but tremble.
From the moment Wang Zhongren entered the hall, Shui Qingqing noticed his abnormality.
Now that he felt the trembling of his fingers, Shui Qingqing had thought of something in his heart, and his eyes fell coldly on the corner of his wet and stained robe, and at a glance, he knew that he had accidentally fallen while walking.
The dignified Tai Hospital, walking in the palace all the year round, is familiar with the roads in the palace, but it will fall, but it is not accidental, but it is caused by panic and unsteady steps.
can affect his mood, presumably there is something big that makes him worry about it.
In other words, what Mei Zijin did to him has already worked......
Half a moment passed, Wang Zhongren opened his eyes, asked Shui Qingqing a few words as usual, got up and said cautiously to Emperor Jin Ming, who was staring at him with bright eyes: "Back to the emperor, the county lord is in good health, but he is too tired, and his heart is weak and tired, resulting in a deficiency of qi and blood......"
"In that case, you will prescribe a prescription to replenish the qi and blood of the county lord."
Coldly interrupting Wang Zhongren's words, Emperor Jin Ming ordered him to prescribe a prescription for Shui Qingqing.
It is common for the imperial doctor to prescribe prescriptions, although Wang Zhongren has been faintly uneasy in his heart, but he did not suspect it, and said to Emperor Jin Ming: "Wechen will go to the Tai Hospital to prescribe a prescription for the county lord, after the medicine is decocted, Wechen will personally send it to the cool breeze platform for the county lord to take, to ensure that the county lord can replenish his qi and blood, and restore the spirit of Longma......"
"Let's prescribe medicine right here."
Emperor Jin Ming interrupted Wang Zhongren's words again, and said coldly: "Just prescribe the medicine here, and let the palace people go to the Tai Hospital to grab the medicine and decoction it - you are the Tai Hospital, and other small things will be left to others to do, and I still have something to tell you!" ”
The emperor's words, Wang Zhongren dared to refuse, and hurriedly wrote a prescription for Shui Qingqing on the spot.
The prescription was quickly prescribed. Wu Yong was about to take the prescription and go to the Tai Hospital to help Shui Qingqing grab the medicine, but Emperor Jin Ming stopped him and beckoned him to take the prescription forward.
As soon as the prescription with the ink fragrance arrived in the hands of Emperor Jin Ming, it made him frown.
There is almost no need to compare, the handwriting on the prescription that Wang Zhongren just wrote is exactly the same as the handwriting that Shui Qingqing gave him!
Even the distance between the lines of writing and the habit of writing are the same.
In an instant, Emperor Jin Ming's eyes swelled with anger, and the hand holding the prescription almost crushed the rice paper.
The next moment, he waved his hand and asked Wu Yong to send someone to close the door of the palace and send someone to guard outside the hall.
Wu Yong is an old man who has followed Emperor Jin Ming for decades, and when he saw the anger hidden between Emperor Jin Ming's actions and descriptions, he was shocked, but he understood that the emperor had something important to say, so he arranged for the guards to guard the palace gate and prevent others from approaching.
Seeing the door of the palace closed, Wang Zhongren's uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he stood uneasy.
The next moment, Emperor Jin Ming's voice sounded heavily in his ears-
"When the county lord was chatting with me, he said that half a year ago, the queen sent you to Baifu to treat the county lord's illness - do you still remember that you were entrusted by the queen at that time, did you treat any illness for the county lord?"
Hearing Emperor Jin Ming's abrupt mention of the treatment half a year ago, Wang Zhongren secretly exclaimed in his heart, and the cold sweat on his forehead was even more trickling, and he couldn't wipe it all.
He stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen remembers...... At that time, it was the county lord who hit his head and became a stupid person, and the queen mother was not worried about the county lord, so she asked Weichen to go to Baifu to treat the county lord for dementia......"
"Dementia?!"
Emperor Jin Ming sneered coldly and asked slowly: "Can the royal court also cure this disease—can it be cured?" ”
Wang Zhongren, who has been on an errand in the palace for many years, has traveled among the various masters in the harem, and his mind is sensitive, so he obviously feels that everything is unusual today.
His back was already soaked with cold sweat, Wang Zhongren bowed his head and said ashamedly: "Weichen is incompetent, he failed to cure the county lord's illness in time, and he has the great trust of the queen...... But later, fortunately, the county lord was blessed by the dragon and regained his senses, and Wei Chen was also very relieved! ”
"Do you remember what medicine you prescribed to the county lord in order to cure his dementia?"
Wang Zhongren said in a panic: "Because the county lord's dementia is caused by a collision with the back of the head, all the prescriptions prescribed by Weichen are prescriptions to disperse blood and remove stasis, replenish the brain and calm the nerves......"
"Is this your so-called prescription for dispersing blood and removing stasis, tonifying the brain and calming the nerves?"
With a loud shout, Emperor Jin Ming threw the prescription given to him by Shui Qingqing in front of Wang Zhongren, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "You open your eyes wide, you personally prescribed this prescription?!" ”
Wang Zhongren, who was already panicked like a frightened bird, was shocked by Emperor Jin Ming's loud shout, and his whole body trembled violently, and the next moment his eyes fell on the prescription that fell in front of him, his heart instantly stagnated, and the whole person stiffened.
When he was entrusted by Empress Chen to prescribe this prescription, Wang Zhongren was still complacent in his heart, because this prescription allowed him to control the procurement of medicinal materials in the entire Tai Hospital, and in just half a year, he really made a lot of money and became rich.
At that time, the only worry in his heart was that this prescription was revealed.
But at that time, after this prescription was given to Sheng Fang by Queen Chen, because of Sheng Yu as a hostage, Queen Chen was also very relieved, and later learned that Sheng Fang burned the prescription, Wang Zhongren and Queen Chen sat back and relaxed......
Unexpectedly, the prescription that had been 'burned' actually appeared on the emperor's dragon case.
Suddenly, Wang Zhongren was so frightened that he couldn't get worse, coupled with what happened at home in the past two days, he was already chaotic and panicked, Yue's mind was in a big mess, and he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, and under the deterrence of Emperor Jin Ming, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't even speak.
Shui Qingqing calmly knelt down on the side, and said in a cold voice: "This prescription was written by the royal court at the request of the queen, and the medicinal properties of this prescription, I have inquired, it is not a cure for dementia, on the contrary, this prescription is a poison that disturbs people's minds, harms people's dementia, and becomes stupid——"
"And the royal rice inside is even more vicious and vicious, once contaminated, it is difficult to quit. If I hadn't been forced to use the poison of cold paralysis to restrain the poison of the rice, perhaps I would have been controlled by the poison of the rice and become a crazy person who is not a person or a ghost, and is demented and stupid! ”
Every time Shui Qingqing said a word, the anger in Emperor Jin Ming's eyes burned a little more, but Wang Zhongren's was unstable even on his knees, and his body fell straight to the ground.
Looking at his description, Emperor Jin Ming still didn't understand anything in his heart, and his heart was beating with anger, pointing to Wang Zhongren, who was trembling like chaff all over his body, and said hatefully: "Tell me honestly, did the queen ask you to prescribe this prescription at the beginning, it was intended to cause the county lord to lose his mind."
In this way, he withdrew from the relationship with the prince?! ”
Wang Zhongren knew that he couldn't hide it, but the queen was his last backer, so he dared to confess to the queen.
And the outbreak of the queen is also equivalent to admitting his sins, and when the time comes, not only will the emperor not let him go, but the prince and the queen will not let him go......
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongren's panicked heart calmed down, and he glanced at Shui Qingqing, who was kneeling in front of him, with a dead hatred in his eyes, and suddenly opened his mouth to shout injustice.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged...... Weichen didn't know where the emperor's prescription came from, but Weichen had never written such a prescription to the county lord...... Weichen is wronged, please let the emperor know ......"
Hearing his cry of grievances, Emperor Jin Ming laughed angrily, threw the prescription he had just prescribed to Shui Qingqing to replenish qi and blood in front of him, and said coldly: "Didn't you prescribe it?!" So why your handwriting, and how do you explain this?! ”
Bai Lingwei also turned around and looked at him coldly, and said, "Don't think that you can get away with it if you don't admit it—I've been keeping the dregs of this prescription." And I didn't lose my mind at the beginning of the fall, but I suddenly became stupid after drinking the medicine you prescribed, do you still dare to quibble? ”
Looking at the two prescriptions with the same handwriting on the ground, as well as the medicine residue mentioned by Shui Qingqing, Wang Zhongren couldn't even shout out the grievances, but the will in his heart did not waver, but became more and more firm-
Because he knew that once he admitted the matter and betrayed the queen, not only would he be convicted, but the corruption and bribery he took advantage of when the hospital was purchased would also be exposed, and even the misfortune caused by his only son who he regarded as a treasure would be exposed, and then the entire Wang family would be finished.
Thinking of his son and the entire Wang family, Wang Zhongren's eyes flashed with a ruthless light, but the next moment he shouted bitterly: "The handwriting can be copied, and the medicine residue can be faked, all of this is just a framing method made by the county lord in order to deal with the queen, Weichen can't defend himself, only to die!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly got up and hit his head straight on the emperor's dragon case!
The sudden change caught Shui Qingqing and Emperor Jin Ming off guard.
Seeing that Wang Zhongren was about to be killed on the spot, Wu Yong, who had been guarding the side of Emperor Jinming's dragon case, rushed forward and raised his leg at the last critical moment, kicking Wang Zhongren's body away, letting his head rub against the dragon case and knock on the corner of the chair on the side.
Wang Zhongren failed to die as he wished, but he also fainted and fell to the ground motionless.
Shui Qingqing was shocked on the spot, and Emperor Jin Ming was furious.
Wu Yong stepped forward, and while probing his snort, he gasped and said angrily: "You dare to look for death and life on the emperor, you can see that there is a ghost in your heart...... The emperor escorted him to Dali Temple, and handed him over to the four highnesses for strict investigation, to see if he dared to be hard-mouthed. ”
Emperor Jin Ming glanced at Shui Qingqing, as if he was asking for her opinion.
Shui Qingqing came back to her senses from Fang Cai's alarm, thought for a moment and said slowly: "Eunuch Wu has a point. If he does not admit it, he cannot condemn him, nor can he obey the people, but it is better to submit it to the four highnesses for examination. Just ......"
Shui Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter also involves the queen's mother...... Before he confesses his guilt, can he temporarily conceal the prescription and detain him for other crimes? ”
The last words of Wang Zhongren reminded Shui Qingqing.
If Wang Zhongren can't admit it in person, the prescription was prescribed by the queen to frame him, and the prescription and the dregs of the medicine, as well as the same handwriting, not only can not convict him, but also cannot convict the queen.
And just as Wang Zhongren slandered her in the end, Queen Chen will also say in turn that she deliberately slandered her in order to retaliate against her.
Therefore, before Wang Zhongren personally confessed his guilt, the queen could not let the queen know about the prescription.
What's more, Shui Qingqing is still worried about Dr. Sheng!
Indeed, it is because he is afraid of Sheng Yu in the palace who is under 'house arrest' by the queen.
Because although the Sheng family has been secretly protected by Mei Zijin, Sheng Yu has been 'house arrested' by the queen by her side, threatening Sheng Fang.
If Queen Chen knew that Sheng Fang betrayed her, left the prescription, and kept the original medicine residue, I was afraid that she would kill Sheng Yu to vent her anger.
Although Sheng Yu has been helping Empress Chen and Red Sleeves deal with them, for the sake of Sheng Fang's affection, Shui Qingqing doesn't want her to die innocently in her struggle with Empress Chen......
Therefore, before ensuring Sheng Yu's safety, Shui Qingqing could not recklessly let Empress Chen know about the prescription.
Listening to her words, Emperor Jin Ming also understood her deep meaning, and after a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Since he was in charge of the procurement and sale of the Tai Hospital, I have long heard about his corruption and profit--I will detain him to prison for this crime, and by the way, my house will be raided and his family property will be seized, and the evidence of his embezzlement will be investigated." ”
After that, Emperor Jin Ming turned back to Wu Yong and said: "You personally escort him to Dali Temple, let Li Xuan personally interrogate, and make sure he opens his mouth to confess!" ”
Wu Yong responded to the order, and hurriedly ordered the palace people to drag Wang Zhongren, who had passed away, to Dali Temple......
As soon as Wu Yong and Wang Zhongren left, Emperor Jin Ming sighed heavily, his face full of exhaustion.
Shui Qingqing helped him to rest on the soft couch, picked up the medicine list on the ground and put it away, and was about to return to the cool breeze platform, when Emperor Jin Ming called her softly, and said with guilt on his face: "If it is really as you said, the queen uses this trick to sabotage your marriage with the prince, not only their mother and son are sorry for you, but I am also sorry for you......"
"Your Majesty, you can't be blamed for this matter......"
"If I had listened to your request when I was in the Imperial Garden, and had learned about your marriage to the crown prince, you would have lost the many tribulations that followed......
Thinking of seeing Shui Qingqing's demented and stupid pitiful appearance in Baifu with his own eyes, Emperor Jin Ming was heartbroken.
And when he thought that all this was framed by Empress Chen, Emperor Jin Ming was even more chilled and disappointed, he didn't expect that Empress Chen, who had ruined his life's happiness in twenty years to save the queen and repay her kindness, had done so many heinous things to Wu Ning and her daughter, which really made him frightened and disappointed......
If Emperor Jin Ming knows, even the fire twenty years ago was deliberately framed by Empress Chen for the position of crown princess, I don't know how Emperor Jin Ming would hate his 'virtuous' queen? !
Thinking of the trust entrusted to him by Princess Wuning in her dream, Emperor Jin Ming said with a heartache and guilt: "Over the years, I have actually heard about some things that the queen has done...... But I have always trusted the crown prince, never doubted his character, and always thought that he was different from his mother, so I made him the crown prince...... But now that I think about it, I made a mistake, and I even saw the wrong person......"
Listening to Emperor Jin Ming's remorseful words, as well as the grief between descriptions, Shui Qingqing silently stepped aside, lit the soothing incense in the incense burner, and persuaded Emperor Jin Ming: "Your Majesty, you can believe what I say and are willing to give me the opportunity to appeal, I am very grateful......
"I exposed their true faces with the emperor, firstly, I wanted to seek justice for myself and my mother, and I also wanted to help the emperor see their true faces. It is not easy for the Great Jin Dynasty to stand for a hundred years after going through wind and rain, and when I was at the border, I saw with my own eyes that the soldiers and generals of the Great Jin Dynasty threw their heads and spilled their blood in order to defend the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, so I ......"
Shui Qingqing didn't say the next words, because for her, if she said that the prince was not virtuous and would not be a virtuous monarch in the future, it would be arrogance!
However, she didn't say it, Emperor Jin Ming also understood the meaning of her words, and his eyes couldn't help but become deeper and deeper......
After leaving the imperial study, Shui Qingqing seemed to have fought a big battle, and her body and mind were also extremely tired.
Back at the Cool Breeze Terrace, she didn't care about eating lunch and fell asleep.
Xiaoxi knew that she hadn't closed her eyes much in the past few days, looked at her emaciated and tired face, let her fall asleep, and was reluctant to wake her up.
Shui Qingqing slept until the sun went down, and as soon as she got up, an aunt from Jingren Palace came to invite Shui Qingqing to go to Concubine Xian for dinner at night.
Concubine Xian is the mother concubine of the fourth prince Li Xuan, and she is also the new master of the harem who has just taken charge of the palace.
Shui Qingqing has never met this low-key and mysterious virtuous concubine in the past few days since she entered the palace, so it was very surprising to hear her rumors at first glance!
Xiaoxi was also very nervous, helping Shui Qingqing to make up, while worrying: "I heard that this virtuous concubine is very low-key, even if she becomes the master of the palace, it is as common as usual, and Miss has been in the palace for so many days, and she didn't see her visit when she fainted before, how could she suddenly summon Miss to eat together today?!" ”
Shui Qingqing sat in front of the bright bronze mirror, looked at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze, thought about it, and said indifferently: "Probably this virtuous concubine also knows that I have torn my face with the queen and become an enemy." The enemy of my enemies is my friend—she doesn't come to me, but I'm going to take the initiative to find her. ”
Xiao Xi was stunned, looked at Shui Qingqing in the bronze mirror in confusion, and said puzzledly: "What is Miss looking for her to do?" ”
A chill flashed in her eyes, and Shui Qingqing said coldly: "Please ask her, the master of the palace, to rescue Sheng Yu from Chuxiu Palace." ”
Xiaoxi understood, and couldn't help but be grateful to Shui Qingqing for not caring about Sheng Yu's previous collusion with the queen, and still thinking about saving her life.
She hesitated, "But...... Will this ignorant concubine help us? ”
Shui Qingqing smiled firmly, and said coolly: "In order to compete for the heir before, there were two factions in the previous dynasty, the third prince and the fourth prince, who fought openly and secretly, and the harem was their mother and concubine who plotted for them. And now, the queen has been grounded because of the Yang family, and the power to take charge of the palace has fallen into the hands of the virtuous concubine. The Emperor also handed over the pursuit of the Assassins to the Four Princes, apparently beginning to use more trust in the Four Princes—all because of the feud between me and the Queen. Concubine Xian, who enjoys the benefits of a fisherman, she will not fail to understand, helping me is helping herself! ”
After listening to Shui Qingqing's words, Xiaoxi's worries were all put down. But in the blink of an eye, another thing came to mind.
"Didn't Miss say before that she was going to take Aunt Pian into the palace to investigate the old case from twenty years ago? Why did you enter the palace again this time ......"
Shui Qingqing said softly: "Master Hou said that our every move in the palace is monitored by the queen and the crown prince, and if there is one more person around, it will definitely attract their attention." In this way, the subsequent plan cannot be implemented. I thought about it carefully and felt that what Hou Ye said made sense. ”
Xiao Xi said sadly: "In this way, why can't Aunt Pian enter the palace?" How is the young lady going to uncover the secret of Red Sleeves? ”
Shui Qingqing patted her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, Master Hou said that he would arrange everything for me - he has a way to quietly let Aunt Pian enter the palace." ”
While speaking, Shui Qingqing had already dressed up, and led Xiaoxi to follow the aunt of Jingren Palace to Jingren Palace at night.
Jingren Palace is not as luxurious as Chuxiu Palace, but it is exquisite and warm everywhere, which is very different from Chuxiu Palace.
Concubine Xian held a banquet in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the apse to entertain Shui Qingqing, and when the aunt who led the way led Shui Qingqing over, Concubine Xian had already prepared a banquet and waited for her.
When Shui Qingqing entered the warm pavilion, she didn't have time to ask Concubine Xian for peace, but she saw the person standing behind Concubine Xian at a glance, and she was shocked......
