Chapter 655: The Empress is guilty
The rain has been falling all night, and it has not stopped until the day, this rain, people are easy to be lazy, Chu Lixue stayed in bed all morning and refused to get up.
"Ning Xiang, hasn't the master gotten up yet?" Leng Xue whispered outside.
"The master has woken up just now, but he can't get down in bed, and he has just used some snacks, and he is lying down now." Ning Xiang said softly.
Awakened? What is this called, this awakening is awakening, not waking up is not waking up, what is waking up? Besides, the master is not a sick and weak person, and such a thing as a coma will naturally not fall on her.
"Ning Xiang, what time is it?" Chu Lixue's soft voice came from the room.
"Back to the master, it's already three o'clock, do you want to get up now?" Ning Xiang said softly.
She has been with the queen since she was a child, and naturally knows that her master has a problem with lying in bed, at that time, the old lady did not talk about her less, saying that it is not okay to go on like this, and will be laughed at by her husband's family, for this reason, in order not to lose the face of her mother's family, she has gotten up early every day since then, except when she is pregnant with the little prince and princess, she will be so sleepy, is it ......
Thinking of this, "Master, why don't you go to the front and wait for Uncle Guo to come down to ask for your pulse?" ”
"Haven't you gone down yet? Do you know what it is? Chu Lixue said softly.
On weekdays, Nangong Yihan will go down to the court in a moment, but why is it almost noon today, and he hasn't come back? Isn't it what happened in the court?
"Leng Xue, you go to the former dynasty to see if something happened, why haven't you seen the emperor come back at such a time." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Today's rain is really annoying, even if Nangong Yihan really has something to delay, he will send someone over to inform him, since he didn't send someone over, either he doesn't want her to know, or he is entangled in affairs, and he can't get out.
After Leng Xue went to the front to inquire, he hurried back with light skills, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "The master is not good, something has happened." ”
Seeing that Leng Xue's face was so ugly, Chu Lixue also knew that things must be very tricky, "Tell me quickly, what happened?" ”
"Master, our Deyue Building and the Medicinal Diet Workshop, someone was poisoned, and the guest was killed on the spot, and now Jing Zhaoyin has blocked the Deyue Building and the Medicinal Kitchen. The ministers all want the emperor to hand over the master and accept the interrogation of the three law divisions. ”
"What? These ministers are really confused, the master has been in the palace all day, and those meals are not made by the master, why do they have to let the master be interrogated if they eat someone to death. Ning Xiang said indignantly.
"Silly girl, something happened to the shop, even if you catch the shopkeeper of the store, it's useless, who will you go if you don't look for me, the boss?" Chu Lixue said lightly.
originally thought that the other party would poison the wine in her palace, but she didn't expect to do something in her shop, yes, first let her be infamous as the queen, and then use the people's will and the persecution of the courtiers, if the emperor wants to stabilize the country, he must kill himself to calm the people's anger, it is really a vicious mind.
Everyone knows that in Beichen Kingdom, the emperor and queen are deeply affectionate, if the emperor really orders the queen to be killed, the emperor's heart will not be comfortable, and he will also be retaliated against by the medicine king valley because of the queen's death.
At that time, the court will be in turmoil, and if the other party takes this opportunity to rise up and calm everything, it will not be difficult to ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five.
"Master, what are we going to do?"
"Then what did the emperor say?" Chu Lixue didn't hurry up.
"The emperor naturally protected the master and said, saying that the master is just the boss, not the cook in the store, since there is a murder case, the store is closed to investigate the case, and you must not bend into a trick and find someone to take the blame at will. As for the masters, they are not qualified to interrogate. ”
Hearing this, Chu Lixue pulled her lips and smiled, sure enough, he wanted to protect himself, but by doing so, he was in the hands of others. Since the other party wants to design themselves, then why not plan it.
"Ning Xiang, find me a plain brocade dress, just give me a simple hairstyle for a while, and I don't need hairpin jewelry."
"Master, what are you going to ...... Hairpins to be punished? Ning Xiang said tentatively.
"That's right, don't they want me to go to Dali Temple? So what's the matter if the main palace goes? ”
"Oh, my master, my mother, you must not go, these courtiers have long hated you, if it weren't for you, their daughters would have been able to enter the palace as imperial concubines, and their grandsons would have been able to ascend to the throne in the future, but if you let them lose such an opportunity, how would they treat you well."
"It's okay, is it possible that they still dare to force a confession from my words and deeds?" Chu Lixue said lightly.
Those people who have lost their relatives just want a fair statement, and besides, they are dead, that is, they want some money to live by. If she could handle this matter reasonably, those courtiers would have nothing to say.
The most important thing at the moment is to figure out how there are customers poisoned in Deyuelou and Yaodianfang, these two stores have been open by themselves for many years, and the shopkeepers in the store are also used to it, they have no reason to cause trouble in their own place of work, so they can't escape the involvement.
Even if one of them was bought, who knew that they would not be killed if they did such a thing? The guys she chose were all very clever, and she shouldn't have thought of this.
What's more, what backer is bigger than the queen's mother, besides, she will go out of the palace for a day or two every month, if they really have anything unpalatable, but if you want to say it, you will definitely help him. After thinking about it, Chu Lixue couldn't figure out what the problem of this poison was.
Ning Xiang changed Chu Lixue's clothes, put her hair in a bun and went out with Chu Lixue, Yi'an rushed up, and didn't forget to let Leng Xue inform the Lord of the Cold Moon Palace.
Notify the Lord? That's right, even if the emperor is forced to send the queen to Dali Temple, in order to avoid being poisoned, he has to arrange his own people to take care of one or two. It's just that the Venerable Lord and Leng Yue are not in the palace recently, and if there are some things that are not instructed by the Venerable Lord, she has no right to do it as a Dharma protector. Now that I think about it, I can only let people inform the lord, and I hope the lord can come back sooner.
Outside the court, Chu Lixue saw that the courtiers had already knelt on the ground in unison, Nangong Yihan was sitting on the dragon chair, his face was very ugly, he was forced to do this by a group of courtiers, and it was not easy for the emperor to endure and not kill them.
"Your Majesty, the queen is asking to see you outside." The little eunuch entered the palace to report.
Hearing this, Nangong Yihan frowned slightly, this Chu Lixue, it's not good to stay in her palace, what are you doing here? Don't you know that these people are trying their best to force him to put himself in prison?
"No, let the queen go back on her own, she still knows less about the things in the court." Nangong Yihan said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, since the queen mother has already come, you might as well let the queen mother come in and make it clear, the emperor loves the mother, and the whole Beichen knows this, but the emperor can't be indiscriminate about it." Dali Temple Qing Su Yan said loudly.
"Su Yan, do I still need you to teach me how to deal with the government?" Nangong Yi said coldly.
If it weren't for the fact that Su Yan was an old minister left by the emperor, and his character was very dignified, he would not tolerate him until now, originally he was the imperial history of the Imperial History Tower, just because he offended some courtiers, he was jointly participated, and he almost lost his official hat, in order to keep this Su Yan, he transferred him to Dali Temple to do things, but I didn't expect that he would come to force himself today, it's really ......
"Your Majesty, the old minister is dead, the old minister is bold, and he doesn't dare to do things on the pope, the minister just thinks that since it is about the mother, please ask the mother to come forward to clarify, at least to give the people in the city an explanation." Su Yan said lightly.
Hearing Su Yan say this, Chu Lixue couldn't help nodding slightly, this Su Yan has an upright temperament, he is a rare good official, Nangong Yihan has always protected him, and it is precisely because he is a good official, so he slowly spoke, "Concubine Chu, please meet the Holy Lord, please ask the Holy Lord's permission." ”
Since Chu Lixue said so, if Nangong Yihan didn't let her in, then tomorrow these courtiers should say that they were greedy and misguided the country. Anyway, since Lixue has already come, it means that she also knows what happened, and maybe, what solution she will have is unknown.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yihan said lightly: "Empress Xuan entered the palace to ask. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Qing beside him hurriedly responded. Immediately, Zhang Qing put the Buddha dust in his hand in the crook of his arm, "Please ask the queen to meet ......"
As soon as Zhang Qing's words fell, Chu Lixue walked into the Jinluan Hall alone, and the ministers saw that Chu Lixue was dressed in plain clothes, and there was no decoration on her head, as if she had taken off her hairpin and treated her guilt.
"It seems that the queen mother knows that she has sinned." The official raised his eyebrows and said.
Crime? Chu Lixue felt very funny when she heard this, and then turned her head to look at the official Shangshu, and ignored him, but took a step forward and knelt in the center of the hall, and respectfully saluted the emperor, "Concubine Chu, see the emperor, may my emperor live long live long live." ”
"The queen is flat, two shops in the city have been poisoned at the same time, namely Deyue Tower and Medicinal Kitchen. Now that the queen is here, let's talk about how these two shops buy on weekdays. ”
"Back to the emperor, the two shops are cooperating with people in their daily purchases, that is, the Hu family in the north of the city, their dishes are fresh, and they have been cooperating with their concubines for many years."
"Since we have been working together for many years, then ......"
"Your Majesty, you are here to ask some innocuous words, but in order to protect the mother, this matter will be handed over by the emperor to Dali Temple, and the ministers will definitely handle it impartially, and will not be tortured to extract confessions in order to close the case, nor will they be afraid of the emperor, so they will hastily close the case." Su Yan spoke again.
Chu Lixue is very happy to let Dali Temple intervene in this matter, and it is most appropriate for Dali Temple to intervene......
