Chapter 121: Palace Banquet Mutation

Situ Nanyun picked up the small broken bottle, sniffed it, frowned, and said to herself, "Hey, how can there be such a poison here?" He took out a handkerchief and wrapped the medicine bottle, carefully put it in the placket, and said to the little palace maid: "You are the 'flower destroyer', fortunately you only smell a little, so the poisoning is not deep, I will help you go to the front pavilion to sit down and rest for a while, and when the symptoms are slightly relieved, you will go to the imperial pharmacy to get the three flavors of floating root wood, Qingyan flower, and Crimson grass, mash it and swallow it with water, and you will not have abdominal pain after half an hour." ”

Situ Nanyun sent the little palace maid to the pavilion to rest and came back, and just a few steps away, he met Yan Yulong and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy wearing brocade clothes.

The young man held a pot of wine in his hand, laughing as he walked, his innocent eyes shining with brilliant light, and from time to time he looked at Situ Nanyun who was standing in front of him with a slight smile.

Yan Yulong smiled and said to the young man: "Lin'er, this is Sister Yun'er who shined at that banquet, and now that she has finally met the real person, how about it, be happy." ”

Yan Yulin is a young man and is very enthusiastic about the characters he is interested in, so he immediately pulled Situ Nanyun's arm and said with a smile, "Sister Yun'er, you are so admirable to Yulin, I listened to the music you played that day, and I like your piano skills very much, but it's a pity that I am a small man and sit far away, and I can't see Sister Yun'er's appearance clearly. After a pause, he saw the wine jug in his hand, and couldn't help but take Situ Nanyun's hand and walked forward, "Sister Yun'er, I stole a pot of wine from the lady's kitchen, come, let's go to the pavilion together to drink and chat." ”

Situ Nanyun knew that he was Yan Yulin, the twelfth prince, and Lin Yuelan had already told her about some important people in the palace and their personality characteristics, so that she would not have trouble and jokes in case of emergency. She was thinking of going to Concubine Shu to report the appearance of the 'flower urging hand' in the garden, first, she met Yan Yulong and Yan Yulin, and the plan was interrupted, and second, when she looked back, the pavilion was already empty, it turned out that the palace maid had already left, thinking that she might go to the imperial infirmary to get the antidote, and she could do everything for the little palace maid, and besides, the things in the palace were too complicated, maybe it was a trip to troubled waters, she still had more than one thing to do, so as not to get into trouble.

Seeing that the Twelve Princes had warmly invited her, Situ Nanyun smiled and nodded, so the three of them walked towards the pavilion in front.

Yan Yulin poured a glass of wine for Situ Nanyun and Yan Yulong, and Yan Yulong hurriedly refused: "Lin'er, I have never drunk fruit wine, and you don't know, you just have to pour wine for your sister Yun'er, she likes this kind of wine." ”

Yan Yulinyu didn't force Yan Yulong anymore, and clinked glasses with Situ Nanyun, "Sister Yun'er, after drinking this glass of wine, you have to teach me to play the piano." ”

Situ Nanyun saw that he was young and serious, and laughed out loud, "Your Highness, I don't dare to drink this glass of wine, I don't dare to be His Highness's teacher, but His Highness wants to hear me play the piano in the future, and I will wait for you at any time." ”

Yan Yulin said happily: "It's okay to play the piano for me at any time, you have to talk and count." ”

The two drank a few glasses of wine and had a good conversation. At this time, the third prince somehow surrounded the pavilion with a group of guards wearing iron armor.

Yan Yulin asked in surprise: "Third brother, what happened?" ”

Yan Yujun glanced at Yan Yulin, and his tone was cold and disdainful, "Twelfth brother, Long'er, why are you with this poisonous girl?" He turned his eyes to look at the wine jugs and wine glasses placed in the pavilion, and his subordinates immediately went up to inspect the wine jugs and wine glasses, and the person who inspected them nodded, Yan Yujun was furious and scolded sharply, "The evidence is conclusive, Situ Nanyun, you are so bold, you actually put a 'flower destroying hand' in the wine, and it is not enough to harm Concubine Shugui, Princess Yulin and other female guests at the banquet, and now you are harming the twelve princes, what is your intention?" Someone, take this poisonous girl away. ”

Yan Yujun gave an order, and all the guards rushed up to detain Situ Nanyun, who couldn't resist and was escorted by them to the direction of Qianqing Palace.

After Yan Yujun left, the corners of Yan Yulong's mouth hooked, and things were developing according to her wishes. The twelfth prince Yan Yulin was puzzled, the pestle was in place, why did the fairy-like sister Yun'er want to poison him, he couldn't figure it out, Yan Yulong pushed him, "I'll take you back to the Feiliu Palace, and then Imperial Doctor Xuan will come over to show you." ”

The onset time of the "Flower Destroying Hand" poison was a little slow, and it was only half an hour after entering the abdomen that he had a reaction to abdominal pain and vomiting, so Yan Yulin was fine for the time being.

On the way to the Qianqing Palace, Situ Nanyun had already recovered from the shock and confusion just now, and quickly sorted out what happened at the banquet and in the process of going to the toilet, and finally sorted out all the doubts in a clear context, and came to a conclusion: Today's banquet is a bureau specially set up for her.

On the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Shengde sat on the dragon chair, the queen and an important concubine, the third prince, the fifth prince and several other adult princes, Dali Temple, the imperial history platform, the people of the criminal department, the chief imperial doctor and the foreign envoys all came, crowded in front of the main hall.

Emperor Shengde was furious, and slapped the dragon chair heavily, "Situ Nanyun, you are so bold, you dare to poison the banquet of Concubine Shu, causing Concubine Shugui, Princess Yulin and other female guests to be poisoned, and even the twelve princes of mine were also poisoned by you, are you going to kill the people of the entire palace?" I treat you well, but you want to harm my relatives and my guests, why is your heart so poisonous? ”

Emperor Shengde's coercive voice made Situ Nanyun's eardrums hurt slightly, and in the face of this accusation and conclusive accusation, she tried her best to restrain her nervousness, and smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty, I, the person concerned, have been confused about the whole incident since the third prince captured me, and now he has inexplicably become a sinner who poisoned everyone, can you tell me the whole thing." ”

Seeing Situ Nanyun's calm and seemingly indifferent answer, Emperor Shengde was slightly surprised, and his sharp eyes couldn't help but stare at Situ Nanyun's face, "Situ Nanyun, I appreciate your talent very much, and I don't want that person to be you, but facts speak louder than words...... Come on, bring someone up. ”

A woman wearing a blue water silk pattern palace dress was brought in by two guards, and she fell to the ground with a frightened plop, "Your Majesty, the slave maid is the palace maid Qiongyan who is responsible for serving food in Zhaoyi Palace, at the end of this morning, I saw a woman in silver-red clothes sneaking into the imperial kitchen, I saw this figure very eye-catching, so I followed, and found that the person was pouring something into the wine jug, I wanted to shout, but I was beaten from behind, and then I fainted." After I woke up, I was afraid that something would happen, so I hurriedly ran to the banquet of Concubine Shugui, but found that Concubine Shu and Princess Yulin and other female guests all fell to the ground with a stomach ache, I hurriedly called the imperial doctor over, and the imperial doctor said that the concubine was poisoned, and the poison came from the fruit wine in the wine jug, so I described the figure and appearance of the person I saw in the imperial kitchen, and the concubine and all the female guests said that the person was Situ Nanyun. ”

Emperor Shengde's majestic eyes looked at Situ Nanyun, "Situ Nanyun, what else do you have to say?" ”

The third prince took over, "Father, I have always paid attention to human and material evidence in judging cases, but now that there are human evidence, if you want Situ Nanyun to confess, you can search her body, maybe the physical evidence is still on her." Turning his elite eyes, he looked at the Dali Temple, Yushi and others on the side, "Ladies and gentlemen, is the case procedure like this?" ”

Dali Sicheng, Yushi and others nodded again and again, "What His Royal Highness said is right, Tianyan's verdict has always paid attention to conclusive evidence, and if there is human and material evidence, it can be convicted." ”

So Situ Nanyun was taken out by the two mothers-in-law to search his body, and there was no doubt that the small broken bottle that he picked up in the garden outside the Zhaoyi Hall was searched. Her silver-red robe was torn by the two mothers-in-law, who threw her an old palace maid's dress to her. But when the two mothers-in-law tore her clothes, they accidentally inhaled the remaining medicinal powder in the clothes, and the abdominal pain was unbearable for a while, and they wanted to torture her again, so they had to withdraw their hands, hold their stomachs and endure the abdominal pain, and hurriedly took her out.

Inhaling the medicinal powder is much faster than drinking poisonous wine, and it is much more painful, and after the two mothers-in-law handed over the torn silver-red coat and the small medicine bottle to the attendants of the third prince, their faces were pale and weak, "When we searched her just now, we accidentally inhaled the medicinal powder on this dress, and now the abdominal pain is unbearable, and we ask the emperor to let the imperial doctor detoxify us." ”

The third prince showed a satisfied smile on his face, and asked the waiter to hand over the two pieces of evidence to the imperial doctor for confirmation, and the imperial doctor nodded, "That's right, the poison on the clothes and the poison in the bottle are the same kind of poison as the poison in the concubine Niangniang, called 'Flower Destroying Hand', the poison is not a strong poison, the average person is poisoned and has abdominal pain, and an hour or two has passed, but it is more lethal to pregnant women and children, pregnant women are very likely to miscarry, and children will damage the essence of people and fall into the root of the disease." ”

As he was speaking, suddenly a waiter hurriedly ran in, "Your Majesty, it's not good, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has miscarried, and the adults are almost unable to save it." ”

Emperor Shengde's face changed, and he hurriedly ordered, "Imperial Doctor Wang, you are the golden saint of gynecology, hurry up and take a look, be sure to protect your lordship." ”

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn, and all eyes looked at Situ Nanyun in unison, but there was one person whose gaze was different from that of everyone else, and there was so much content in his eyes: thoughts, doubts, concerns, and sympathy, and this person was the Fifth Prince.

The queen has no children, and the biological mother of the fifth prince died early, so she was raised under her name, and noticed the eyes of the five princes, with a touch of thought on her face, she didn't make a sound, just watched all this quietly.

Emperor Shengde's angry voice came, "Situ Nanyun, now that the human and physical evidence are there, what else do you have to say?" ”
