Chapter 109: Qi Shou is dead
The queen smiled gently, "My silly sister, it is precisely because everyone and the position believe that my sister is innocent, so I have to search the palace to prove my sister's innocence." You look like this, let people who don't know look at it, and think that you are scared of Sister Xian! ”
Concubine Zhang Xian was so blocked by the queen that she couldn't speak, she pursed her lips, and her face turned blue.
Hua Qingrao slowly got up and said: "Everyone, the queen mother, although this Qi Shou is an attendant who follows Imperial Doctor Pang, he also wanders around the palace all the year round, and there are many people who can be contacted. If only the palace of Concubine Xian and Sister Tian is investigated, it may be difficult to find out any clues, and Concubine Guchen implores everyone to thoroughly investigate the entire harem. ”
Concubine Zhang Xian also hurriedly echoed: "Everyone, what Yingmei said is true. If you only check the bedrooms of the concubines and Tiancairen, you can't find anything at that time, wouldn't you let the mastermind behind the poisoning get away with it. ”
Zhao Xuan glanced at the two of them, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Lu will take people to thoroughly investigate the entire harem, don't let go of the clues!" ”
"Yes." Yuan Lu was ordered to lead people out.
Hua Qingrao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and now she still can't figure out whether the target of this incident is Zhang Xianfei or Tian Cairen, so she can only delay time as much as possible and look for opportunities to find out the real purpose of this incident.
Time was passing minute by minute, and the people in the temple were like ants on a hot pot, and their hearts were restless. Even if none of them had done it, they were afraid that they would find something special in them.
Zhao Xuan gave a death order, and during the search of the palace, no one in the palace could take a step out of the palace, so Hua Qingrao's plan to take the opportunity to send the letter also came to naught.
The people in this temple could not get out, and the people outside the temple could not figure out the situation in the temple, and this state of affairs was developing step by step towards the expectations of the conspirators.
After a long time, Yuan Lu came back in a hurry. He saluted Zhao Xuan, who was seated, and said respectfully: "Everyone, the little leader has already thoroughly checked the entire harem." ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "In the Tiancai people's dormitory, I found the same poisonous weed as Qi Shou's, as well as its antidote, and there is nothing unusual in the other halls. ”
Hua Qingrao's body trembled, her eyelids jumped all night, and sure enough, what she least expected to happen in her heart still happened.
Tiancairen's eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't believe that the things that Yuan Lu presented to Zhao Xuan were actually found from his own bedroom. She fell to the ground and said loudly: "The concubine didn't do anything to frame Sister Shu, please be aware of it!" ”
Zhao Xuan didn't look at her either, and handed the antidote to Imperial Doctor Li, "Take it to the imperial service of Shushi." ”
Imperial Physician Li took the medicine and respectfully withdrew.
Pang Xuan looked at Zhao Xuan with a cold face, he clearly saw a strong killing intent in everyone's eyes, no! If this continues, Xuan'er will not escape death.
Pang Yuan's envoy knew his son's temperament best, and he saw that Pang Xuan was about to speak, and hurriedly tugged at his clothes with his hand behind him, trying to stop what he was going to say next.
Pang Xuan frowned and turned his head, glaring at him as if his father was warning. He knew in his heart that his father was for his good, but if something happened to Xuan'er, then he would have no faith in living.
Thinking of this, he hardened his heart, secretly shook off the hand of the envoy of the Pang Yuan, raised his head and said loudly: "Everyone, Weichen..."
Before he could say the rest of the words, Hua Qingrao stood up suddenly, knelt on the ground and said, "Everyone, Sister Tian is simple by nature, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this matter." The concubine implored everyone to find out the truth carefully, and not to make Sister Tian wronged. ”
Concubine Zhang Xian sneered, "Ying Meiren, this evidence has been found out from her palace, what grievances are there!" Just say, why is she so timid, she is still sick after a slight fright, it turns out that her mind is here. ”
"Concubine Xian, Sister Tian has always been good friends with Sister Shu, and the two are even called sisters, which is something that everyone in the palace knows. In this case, how could Sister Tian harm her dear sister. Hua Qingrao retorted.
Concubine Zhang Xian held her fingers on the hairpin on her bun, her face full of disdain: "There is no shortage of people in this palace who call each other sisters on the surface and make stumbling secretly, how can Yingmei be sure that your sister Tian is not such a person?" ”
She suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth, and said in a tactful voice: "The evidence has come out, Yingmei, you are still confusing the public here, what are you covering?" Isn't it you and that talented man..."
"Enough!" Zhao Xuan interrupted Concubine Zhang Xian's next words with an angry roar.
Concubine Zhang Xian pursed her lips and didn't speak again, only glared at Hua Qingrao with her eyes.
Zhang Di walked in at this time, and after a salute, he respectfully reported: "Everyone, I have found Qi Shou." He was found in a pond outside the Linhua Temple, but he had already drowned. ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked. Qi Shou's body was found in the pond outside the Linhua Palace, which clearly meant that after Qi Shou's matter was completed, he went to Tiancai to ask for a reward. Seeing that the matter had been successful, Tiancai killed people and drowned Qi Shou in the pond.
Hua Qingrao slowly closed her eyes, Qi Shou is dead, and the only person who can find the conspirator is gone, is Tian Cairen's crime so real?
Zhao Xuan's face was already iron-blue, and his eyes were murderous when he looked at Tian Cairen. "Tiancairen, the matter has come to this, what else do you have to quibble?"
"Impossible, impossible." Tian Cairen kept shaking her head, her eyes were full of tears, she threw herself on the ground and wailed: "Everyone, it wasn't the concubine who did it, it really wasn't the concubine who did it." ”
Pang Xuan looked at Tian Cairen's appearance like this, full of distress. He knelt on the ground, put his head on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the body was only found outside the Linhua Palace, which does not indicate that it was done by Tiancairen. How could anyone drown him around his temple, isn't this a clear telling everyone that she killed the person? This must have been deliberately framed, please be aware of it! ”
Concubine Zhang Xian said coldly: "The evidence is so obvious, Imperial Doctor Pang, you are still here to defend Tiancai people so diligently, I really have to wonder if you are in league with Tiancairen!" ”
Pang Yuan's hand trembled, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Concubine Xian, the dog has always been loyal, and he only has medical skills in his eyes, and he will never have such thoughts, please be clear." ”
Pang Xuan frowned and looked at his somewhat old father kneeling on the ground and begging for him, his heart was sad for a while, and he slowly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. He could not let his elderly father suffer with him for the sake of his own selfishness.
Just as the atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing, a weak voice came from outside the hall: "Everyone. ”
Everyone followed the prestige together, only to see Cuizhi walking in with a pale-faced stunning woman.
The woman withdrew her hand from Cuizhi's hand and reluctantly saluted the people in the hall: "Concubines and concubines, and maidens. Her voice was so angry that the people in the hall could barely hear it clearly.
Hua Qingrao looked at her fairy appearance, and she was really a beauty that was rare in the world. Even though her face was pale because of poisoning, it was still difficult to hide her alluring color.
Because the concubine felt cold when she entered the palace, she basically never left the Yaohua Palace, so the rest of the people in the palace had never seen her appearance. When I saw her face clearly, there was a surprise in my eyes.
The queen didn't show too much obviousness, only a moment flashed in her eyes, and before anyone could notice it, she returned to normal. With a kind smile on her face, she quietly looked at Shu Shiyu.
In the whole hall, Concubine Zhang Xian's performance was the most obvious, she was first amazed, then turned into jealousy, and finally angry, and her whole face was like a palette to express each emotion one by one.
