Chapter 121: Interlocking

Tian Yao not only did not repent, but also argued with Tian Yao in front of her, if there were not so many people present, she would definitely immediately send someone to drag Tian Yao down to play dozens of boards, but this matter implicated King Jing Haotian of Sui, she could not consider Tian Yao, but also for the sake of King Sui's face.

"Tian Yao! All the princes and the palace are still present, you dare to be so rude, don't kneel down quickly! ”

Tian Yao was angry, naturally she didn't want to give up, she still wanted to talk back, but because of the queen's will, plus Mo Jingli and Jing Haotian were also present She also knew how rude she was just now, so she had to obediently obey the order.

At this time, Jing Haotian couldn't stand it anymore, he was also one of the parties involved, although he didn't control himself, and it was also because he liked Tian Yao very much, so he would do that kind of thing, Tian Yao was not at fault at all, he saw that Tian Yao couldn't explain it at all, so he stepped forward and pleaded: "Queen, in my opinion, there must be something strange about this matter, it is better to investigate this matter thoroughly immediately, so as to give everyone an explanation, and give me a clean slate."

Jing Haotian emphasized so much that he wanted to return his innocence, and never mentioned Tian Yao's matter, just to make everyone present think that he had no intention of favoring Tian Yao. As soon as the queen heard that the king of Sui asked for a thorough investigation of the matter, and decided that she was also innocent, she had to agree to start investigating the case immediately.

She originally planned to completely eradicate Tian Yao with this matter, but she had no chastity as a woman, seduced the two princes, and was not ashamed, did not admit her mistakes, and severely punished her on the grounds that she had broken the rules of the palace.

The queen acquiesced, so she sent her grandmother to interrogate, and she and the others sat down to drink tea on carved sandalwood chairs in the hall, and everyone awaited the final outcome of the trial.

At this moment, Concubine Wan suddenly looked abnormal, her face was pale, a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth, and she slipped from the stool to the ground.

Concubine Wan was in the nearby inner room, and it was not a big problem to rescue her in time, but Tian Yao's case had not yet been resolved, and there was such a life-threatening incident, which made the entire harem panic.

When everyone was still wondering who dared to poison Concubine Wan's tea, Tian Yao took the opportunity to act and hurriedly provided clues to the queen: "The queen's concubine vaguely remembered that there seemed to be some holiday between Tian Yao and Concubine Wan not long ago, and the concubine thought it was ...... Tian Yao happened to come to the pantry, I'm afraid this matter was also done by Tian Yao. ”

All the spearheads were pointed at Tian Yao, although as long as you think about it a little, you will find that Tian Yao was brought in by a stun, and this matter was done by someone else, but everyone is now desperate to find the murderer, and Tian Yao is isolated at this time, everything makes sense to her, and everyone present is deepening their suspicion of Tian Yao step by step.

Tian Yao's matter could have been hastily resolved, but now that Concubine Wan was framed, the entire harem had to pay attention to it, and the queen immediately sent someone to continue the interrogation, interrogating everyone who had been in contact with Tian Yao and Concubine Wan for a whole day, including palace maids from all over the palace who might have witnessed this incident.

Just when everyone was desperate to get the truth, a grandmother came to tell the queen: "Back to the queen's mother, I found out during the interrogation that a maid brought Tian Yao to the pantry this morning, and it was confirmed that it was Qing'er, the personal maid next to Concubine De's mother. ”

There was a sudden new development in the case, and the spearhead was also shifted from Tian Yao's body to Concubine De.

As soon as the queen heard that it was Concubine De's maid who brought Tian Yao here, she felt that things must not be as simple as she imagined. At this time, calm down and think about it carefully, if Tian Yao wanted to frame Concubine Wan like this, she would definitely not be so blatant and implicate herself so quickly.

Now all the concubines have come in pairs, whether it is related to this matter or not, they all want to come and have a good time, if they hear that any of the concubines who have had a holiday with themselves are suspected, they can also add fuel to the fire by the way, and plant it together.

Concubine De was naturally also present, as soon as she heard her name from her grandmother's mouth, as well as the maid Qing'er beside her, she was shocked, she didn't know anything about it, she just heard the news and rushed to it, but now she was framed.

She also thought that this matter was related to Tian Yao, but she didn't expect that she could implicate the people around her, Concubine De naturally couldn't be easily wronged, she didn't know anything about this matter, and she was charged with it for no reason, of course she had to avenge herself.

As soon as the concubines present heard that it was Concubine De's maid, they all looked at her with very surprised eyes, which made Concubine De even more reluctant to bear the eyes of others, so she hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The queen mother, please be clear, the concubine really has no idea about this matter, and the concubine doesn't know when she left." ”

In the face of such an innocent explanation of Concubine De, the queen is also worried, so that things are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are bound to be implicated, since she became the queen, the harem has been quite peaceful, occasionally a few concubines intrigue between each other, will not cause any big trouble, and will calm down after a few days, and she is responsible for criticizing a few words in the morning meeting, and everyone also reviews their own safety and does not dare to act recklessly.

But this time this kind of thing happened, only Concubine Wan was the only one who had drunk tea, and she didn't have time to check whether there was a problem in other people's tea, if someone else drank tea at that time, maybe things would be more complicated than now.

The queen felt that this matter was a little tricky, so she decided to search carefully, and she was also a little afraid of this matter, so she immediately ordered someone to check all the maids around the concubines to find out their whereabouts.

"Come on, go check on me immediately, all the maids in this harem can't run, ask me when and what they have done." The queen was furious, this matter must be clarified, and no one can slack off.

Soon, the entire harem was searched, on the orders of the queen's mother, everyone did not dare to disobey the will, all the palace maids were interrogated, everyone said different things, and it also made the interrogators worried, to record the clues provided by thousands of palace maids in the harem, and to deduce the most reasonable results from them, it is really difficult.

"Report - Queen Mother, King Sui, just now when I was examining the palace maid, I found a bag of medicine in Concubine Jing's room, which has been tested with a silver needle, and it is indeed poison."

The queen was even more surprised when she heard it, this case is really interlocking, continue to dig deeper, more and more people will be implicated, which really makes the queen worried, but this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen in this harem from now on, and this time it must be investigated.

"Submit it quickly, Imperial Doctor, you can test it, but it's the same as the poison in Concubine Wan?" The queen hurriedly greeted the imperial doctor who had just settled Concubine Wan on the side.

The imperial doctor carried the medicine box, took out the tools for testing the medicine, and after a while, seeing that there was a result, he immediately stepped back a few steps and replied: "Back to the queen mother, this medicine is the medicine in the tea that Concubine Wan drank!" ”

The queen listened to the weakness of her hind legs, and her body took a few steps back uncontrollably, and Tian Yao, who was beside her, stepped forward to support the queen when she saw this, and did not forget to flatter her with concern: "Is the queen's body okay?" It's better to go back to the palace to rest first. ”

Tian Yao naturally hoped that the queen and the two princes could end the investigation as soon as possible, although she thought that her plan was perfect enough, as long as those who were bought by her refused to admit it, no one would know who was the initiator of this matter even if she turned this harem upside down.

But although the queen had a headache, as the master of the harem, she had to do something about this matter, so she waved her hand and signaled that everyone was fine.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on the queen, Jing Haotian took the opportunity to make an extremely subtle gesture, and no one present noticed his tiny movements, and when he made a move, the people outside the house also left unintentionally.

And Concubine Jing was surprised when she heard that she had found poison in her own house, and it was the same poison as Concubine Wan, Concubine De had just been implicated, and she was now stirred up for no reason, and in desperation, Concubine Jing hurriedly knelt down and shouted injustice.

"Queen Mother, the concubine has never seen this medicine at all, someone must have deliberately hidden the poison in my house, wanting to take the opportunity to frame the concubine, and ask the lady to investigate!"

Seeing that Concubine De and Concubine Jing were crying with snot and tears in front of her, trying to clear their innocence, the queen only felt that things were getting more and more difficult to do, and only some evidence there was now was not enough to judge the truth or falsehood of these words.

The queen was a little at a loss for a while, but Jing Haotian and Mo Jingli already knew the clues in their hearts. At this time, the two also reached a very tacit consensus, as long as Tian Yao could be safe, they would naturally join forces.

"What do the two princes think?" Since the two princes were present, such a major decision should indeed ask the opinions of the two before making a decision.

"According to the king, it is better for the queen mother to torture, and now the people involved in this matter are biting to death and refusing to admit it, so they have to make them suffer before they are willing to tell the truth." Jing Haotian and Mo Jingli glanced at each other and asked the queen to torture them.

The queen felt that what the prince said was also reasonable, after all, the people who were implicated at this time did not admit it, and they all thought that as long as there was no conclusive evidence, there was no way to prove it, and they should indeed be allowed to suffer some hardships, and if they couldn't bear it, they would naturally confess, whether they were threatened or they didn't want to admit it, they would definitely open their mouths to tell the truth under torture.

Sure enough, the queen immediately asked for torture of people in the know, and soon someone couldn't resist telling the truth. learned that it was Qing'er who was bought by Tian Yao, so she took Tian Yao to the pantry.

When Tian Yao heard someone confess, he knew that he was in danger, and shouted excitedly: "How is it possible!" I wasn't involved in this, so how could you slander me like that? There is no evidence at all! Tian Yao's overreaction made everyone suspicious of her, and thought that Concubine Wan's case was also related to her.
