Chapter 19: Calling the Shots
Jin Shaoming kowtowed to the emperor, thinking of the child who didn't even have the opportunity to meet, he was so sad in his heart that he said: "Father, Mu personally confessed that the poison was given by a grandmother in the palace, and according to this clue, the son found out that the grandmother was the grandmother next to the queen, and the poison was called Ecstasy, because of the fall of the ancient kingdom of Jianlan, the Ecstasy also declined, it is said that the general Feng Kai scattered the only remaining ecstasy to the queen, and asked his father to see and give my son justice!"
Jin Shaoming's last sentence directly stepped on the emperor's bottom line, the emperor's grandson, the third generation of the royal family.
The look on the emperor's face was like a marquee, changing rapidly, and what remained unchanged was the anger after knowing that it was the queen's hand.
The emperor was very angry, but he endured it, walked in front of Jin Shaoming, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "I will ask people to review this matter, if it is found to be true, I will definitely give you and your daughter-in-law an explanation!"
Got the emperor's personal consent, Jin Shaoming's heart was half relieved, he knew the emperor's temper, he didn't worry about this matter anymore, and said goodbye to the emperor and went back to the palace to accompany Mu Lingyun.
Seeing Jin Shaoming's figure disappear at the door of the imperial study, the emperor's face became ugly, and in a few movements, a group of dark guards dressed in black knelt in front of him, which happened to be the position where Jin Shaoming had just knelt. The emperor turned his back to the dark guard and spit out two cold words: "Go check!"
The emperor was furious but couldn't bear it, and sent the most elite secret guards around him to thoroughly check whether the ecstasy was true, and as expected, the queen really held this rare ecstasy in her hands, and an elderly grandmother beside the queen was tortured and spit out a secret that had been hidden for many years.
This poison, the first time the queen used it was not in the harem, but let an old lady take it out of the palace, half a year later, I heard the news that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was sick and sick.
The effect of ecstasy is silent, so that the body of the poisoned person is getting weaker and weaker, and finally death, ordinary doctors do not realize that this is poisoning, and the symptoms of Lie Zhanying's death are very similar to the poison of ecstasy.
Jin Shaoming finally found the connection between the two things, the mother and daughter were hit by the same poison, and the person who targeted them must be the same.
The emperor was shocked and immediately imprisoned the empress in the cold palace, and the person next to him turned out to be such a sinister and vicious woman, and the emperor shuddered.
Jin Shaoming returned to the palace full of concerns, and when he was about to leave the palace, the emperor also told him that he would interrogate the queen in the cold palace in a few days, and asked him to go back and ask Mu Lingyun if he wanted to come to observe.
At that time, Jin Shaoming was standing at the door of the main room, watching Xiangxue carefully feeding Mu Lingyun to drink medicine, his heart was extremely entangled, he didn't know whether to tell her about it, he said it, he was afraid that it would stimulate her again, her current body was already weak, and she couldn't be stimulated, not to mention, if she heard it from someone else's mouth in the future, then she had to blame him, not to mention that it also involved her biological mother.
Mu Lingyun has been extremely sensitive to other people's eyes since she lost her child, and she found Jin Shaoming's dodging eyes at this moment, waved her hand to let Xiangxue back down first, and looked at him fixedly.
Half of the medicine was fed, it was related to Mu Lingyun's body, Jin Shaoming didn't dare to slack off at all, picked up the medicine bowl that Xiangxue put on the side of the bed, scooped a spoonful and sent it to her mouth.
Mu Lingyun turned his face away, refused to drink the medicine he fed, and asked coldly, "Yutang, are you hiding something from me?" Is it related to children? Have you found the murderer of our children? ”
Mu Lingyun asked three questions in a row, killing him by surprise, and before he had time to think clearly about whether to tell her, he didn't expect to let her find out, and guessed by himself.
Jin Shaoming sighed helplessly, stubbornly scooped the medicine to her mouth, and said, "Be good, drink the medicine, and I'll tell you!"
Mu Lingyun bit her lip and confronted Jin Shaoming for three seconds, defeated and compromised, but she didn't let Jin Shaoming feed her, but couldn't wait to pick up the medicine bowl and raise her head to drink.
They have been married for a while, Jin Shaoming knows very well that Mu Lingyun is afraid of bitterness and hates drinking medicine very much, and now in order to know the murderer who killed their children, he can even drink the bitter medicine that he usually doesn't like to drink, and his heart is like knocking over the spice bottle, with mixed tastes.
Mu Lingyun endured the bitterness in his mouth, looked at Mu Lingyun and said, "I'm done drinking, Yutang, should you tell me?" That's my child, and I have the right to know who killed my child! ”
Jin Shaoming took the medicine bowl in Mu Lingyun's hand and put it on the table, looking at her wanting to know the murderer so much, she felt very uncomfortable, she had no intention of hiding her, thinking about the appropriate wording, and said: "I found out to the end, that person is... It's the Queen!"
Mu Lingyun's mouth was open enough to swallow an egg, and it took a long time to find his voice back, and he said in surprise: "How can it be the queen?" ”
Mu Lingyun, like Jin Shaoming, carefully thought back to this woman called the queen, and her impression was very vague, Jin Shaoming did not compete for the throne, she really couldn't figure out why she wanted to harm a child who couldn't threaten her at all.
Jin Shaoming's face was heavy, he opened his mouth hesitantly, did a good job of psychological construction for himself several times, took a deep breath and said: "Yun'er, I have to say one thing next, you promise me not to get excited after listening to it, okay?" ”
Mu Lingyun heard the pleading tone in his words, and there was a faint bad feeling in her heart, if it wasn't for her own big matter, Jin Shaoming would not have shown this embarrassed expression, after thinking about it again, she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
Seeing that she agreed, Jin Shaoming was also relieved, he asked for this guarantee in fact just to reassure himself, his eyes were firmly fixed on the reaction on her face, and said: "Father's people found out, queen, the queen may be the murderer of your biological mother!"
Mu Lingyun looked at him sharply, she suspected that her ears were hallucinating, and said, "What did you say?" Say it again!"
Jin Shaoming couldn't stand her eyes, so he took him into his arms, leaned against her ear, and repeated without a trace of lust, saying, "It was the queen who killed your biological mother, Mrs. Lie!"
Mrs. Lie, Prime Minister Mu already has a new wife, for the former prime minister's eldest wife, Jin Shaoming considered it, and finally used her real surname to call her.
Mu Lingyun closed his eyes and leaned on him without saying a word.
A hot teardrop slid down Jin Shaoming's neck, flowed down his powerful body to his chest, deeply burned his chest, and comforted weakly: "Yun'er, don't cry, be careful to cry your eyes, don't fall into the root of the disease!"
Jin Shaoming originally wanted to say that she couldn't cry during confinement, she would fall ill, but when the words came to her mouth, she would turn a corner, and he knew that if she said this, she would definitely make her want to lose the child, but I was afraid that it would be even more sad and sad.
Mu Lingyun lay in his arms and sobbed quietly, and in the end, his voice became smaller and smaller, his mood slowly calmed down, and he said seriously: "Yutang, I want to see the queen, I want to ask her why?" ”
Jin Shaoming didn't know that she wanted to ask the queen why she killed her biological mother, but her current body was too weak to support her to run back and forth, her brows furrowed into the word 'Chuan', and she was silent and did not answer her.
Mu Lingyun didn't wait for Jin Shaoming's consent, and hugged him and said with emotion and reason: "Yutang, I know you're worried about me, but as a child, knowing that my mother didn't pass away due to illness, I should find out why this is, give my mother an understanding, and give me an understanding, besides, I'm not as fragile as you think, I fall when the wind blows, that's not me!"
Jin Shaoming insisted on refusing to agree to her, Mu Lingyun was extremely weak because of the poison, his little face was pale, and his skinny appearance was still deeply engraved in his mind, every time he was shaken by what she said, when he thought of this scene, his will became firm, no!
She may not be able to help others, Jin Shaoming, she wants to take him, that's a trivial matter.
On that day, Mu Lingyun refused to eat and drink medicine, and used hunger strikes to hurt his body to force Jin Shaoming to agree.
Mu Lingyun was successful, when Jin Shaoming knew that she was persecuting herself with these methods, he knew that he wouldn't last long, and thought of what the emperor told him when he left the palace, he originally asked him to ask Mu Lingyun if he wanted to go to the audit, but he didn't want her to toss back and forth.
Mu Lingyun didn't eat a meal, and he didn't drink the medicine once, so Jin Shaoming compromised, nodded and agreed to her request, coaxed her to eat the meal, and drank it.
Jin Shaoming knew that she was eager to ask the queen why, however, Mu Lingyun was still in confinement, and after reluctantly agreeing to take her into the palace, he asked the Zhan guards to rearrange the carriage, asking for absolute warmth and shockproof, and it was necessary to ensure that Mu Lingyun would not get sick because of the wind when he entered the palace.
He can't let her catch a little bit of wind and cold, and if she falls ill, it's a lifelong thing, and he can't take this risk.
After looking forward to it, Mu Lingyun finally looked forward to the day when the queen was interrogated, Mu Lingyun woke up early, asked Xiangxue to dress her up, and couldn't wait to enter the palace to meet the vicious woman.
Jin Shaoming ordered someone to dismantle the threshold in the palace, and the carriage was picked up from Mu Lingyun at the door of the main house, and he didn't stop all the way, and he got off at the gate of the cold palace.
When the emperor came, he didn't interrogate the queen first, but first came to the side hall to see Mu Lingyun, which gave the emperor a lot of stimulation.
The last time we met, it was because the emperor found out that the prince had stolen the beams and changed the pillars, and secretly Chen Cang, so he summoned Mu Lingyun, and then assigned her the fourth prince, at that time she was full of vitality, with the same heroic spirit and spirit between her mother's eyebrows, but it was only a little more than half a year, and she became a pale, weak, and sick beauty who needed help.
Thinking about what the queen had done again, the emperor felt guilty about Mu Lingyun, sighed lowly, patted her shoulder comfortably, and said, "It's our Jin family who are sorry for your mother and daughter!" ”
Hearing this seemingly apologetic words, Mu Lingyun was so aggrieved that she almost burst into tears, but fortunately she held back and said with a straight face: "I just ask why?"
The three words 'why', cold pierced their hearts like an ice pick.
The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Jin Shaoming, the silent communication between father and son, the emperor patted Jin Shaoming's shoulder dejectedly, and whispered: "Take good care of your daughter-in-law!"
Guiltily glanced at her again, and then turned around and went to the main hall of the cold palace, while Mu Lingyun and Jin Shaoming were arranged behind a thick screen in the main hall, close enough to be discovered.
