Yang Ning, the little chamberlain, hurriedly knelt on the ground, "It's a slave, a slave is fried, but this medicinal herb is the same as usual, no matter how bold the slave is, he doesn't dare to do anything in it." โ
Concubine Chen Li's face was like frost, and she said coldly: "How is this decoction medicine, you have to talk about it carefully." โ
The surroundings fell silent, and everyone looked at Yang Ning.
Yang Ning was frightened by the silence around him, his pale face that had been frightened by the sudden fall of Emperor Yongle became more and more bloodless, and even his voice was a little trembling.
"The slave accompanied the concubine Taisun from Concubine Long Hui's mother, and began to decoction the medicine, the medicinal materials were directly sent by the Tai Hospital, and the guards watched, and the middle half of the decoction did not leave." Yang Ning paused for a moment, as if he was a little hesitant, and then added, "When the medicine was about to be fried, Taisun Concubine said that she would do her filial piety and let the slave go away, she personally looked at the medicine jar, after the medicine was cooked, Taisun Concubine also tasted it with a silver spoon, saying that it tasted a little sweet, and the slave saw that the silver spoon did not change color, so it was probably a good ingredient of licorice, so it was sweeter." โ
Sun Qingyang looked up in surprise, although Yang Ning's other words were not wrong, but how could he have personally decocted medicine in the middle?
She spoke: "Xiao Yangzi, I haven't decocted medicine, are you mistaken?" โ
Taozhi, who was standing next to Sun Qingyang, glanced at her side face, revealing a look of astonishment, and then seemed to feel that his expression was wrong, and immediately continued to bow his head.
Yang Ning also looked at her in amazement, and then thought about it as if she was disguised, "Xu is a slave who remembered it wrongly, it may be that the matter of the concubine of the grandson yesterday was remembered by the slave on your head." โ
Concubine Long Hui, who was watching the expressions of several people carefully, couldn't help but shout: "Can you remember such a thing?" The emperor is still unconscious, Liu Yuan's envoy has said, it is a problem with the medicine, if the medicinal materials are fine, and no one else has touched the medicine, you made it, why don't you tell the truth? โ
After listening to Concubine Long Hui's words, the envoy of the Liu Academy, who had just come out, had already shook his head, "Medicinal herbs, medicine jars, food boxes...... There is no problem with everything, it is in the decoction of the medicine. โ
When he found out that there was a problem with the medicine just now, he had already asked the imperial doctor on duty to bring up the remaining medicinal materials and medicine jars and so on for inspection. The medicine taken by the emperor is in duplicate, in order to ensure that no one will do anything, the use of that part is temporarily decided by the imperial doctor on duty, so unless both copies are poisoned, it is impossible to have a problem with the medicinal materials.
Hearing this, Yang Ning, who continued to maintain a kneeling posture, still didn't raise his head, and insisted: "It's a slave, the slave remembered wrongly, it was the concubine who let the slave leave for a while yesterday." โ
Not only Concubine Long Hui, but even Concubine Chen Li's brows furrowed, Yang Ning's hesitation when he spoke just now, and Taozhi's shock when he heard Sun Qingyang's denial, all fell into their eyes.
Chen Lifei said lightly: "Since you said that the matter of the Taisun Guifei last year was mistakenly remembered by the Taisun Guifei, then let's wait for the Taisun Guifei to come and ask, is there such a thing." Thinking about it, the person who went to the Ciqing Palace to announce it should have arrived, and after a while, the crown princess and the princess will definitely enter the palace together. If you tell the truth now, there is still a glimmer of life, if you wait for the Taisun Guifei to come and find out that you are lying, then I can't spare you at all. โ
In fact, Concubine Chen felt very strange when she heard their words, she really couldn't believe that Sun Qingyang would be the murderer, but this little bit pointed to Sun Qingyang...... Could it be because of the crown prince? After all, if the emperor suddenly dies, the crown prince will inherit the unification, perhaps, he can't wait if he has been the prince for nearly twenty years?
If that's the case, I'm afraid that Taisun Guifei will come after a while, and she will also say that she let Xiao Yangzi leave for a while yesterday. However, looking at this situation, Xiao Yangzi temporarily set up to defend Sun Qingyang, and maybe he could deceive the truth.
She looked at Yang Ning, her expression became more and more cold, and asked: "In short, there is a problem with this medicine, since the imperial doctor has just tested the medicinal materials and there is no problem, that is, there was a mistake when decocting the medicine, it is not her, is it you?" โ
"Minions? How can it be a minion? The slave did not plot to kill the emperor, how dare the slave murder the emperor, what good is that for the slave? The slave really didn't know that there was a problem with the medicine......" Xiao Yangzi was so frightened that he couldn't help crying.
Some people secretly thought, Xiao Yangzi really has no motive to commit the crime, if the servants of the Qianqing Palace plot to kill the emperor, it will be a serious crime of the Nine Clans, and the emperor is dead? If he can do anything, he will be buried together.
However, the people of Duanben Palace, in order for the prince to inherit the unification as soon as possible, are very likely to do this.
Concubine Long Hui was upset by Yang Ning's crying, "What are you crying about?" The emperor is still lying inside, don't disturb him. You can talk back and tell the truth, what is there to cry about. โ
was crying, and when he heard Concubine Long Hui's scolding, Yang Ning raised his head with a dead face, and said to Sun Qingyang: "Concubine Taisun, slave, I'm sorry." โ
Then, he pointed to Taozhi and said: "This matter, Sister Taozhi in front of Taisun Concubine can testify, Taisun Concubine did let the slave go away at that time, and she personally watched the medicine that had been fried for half an hour." But the slave believes that this thing must not have been done by the concubine Taisun, she treats the slaves so kindly, and often rewards us, how can she poison the emperor? โ
Oh - Concubine Taisun often rewarded the minions of the Qianqing Palace, no wonder Xiao Yangzi changed her rhetoric after listening to her retort just now.
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization.
Sun Qingyang was not in a hurry or impatient, his eyes stared at Yang Ning, "Little Yangzi, I gave you a reward because I think you are working hard, so that you can serve the imperial grandfather more dedicatedly, how can you frame me like this?" โ
Yang Ning raised his head, "The slave didn't, what the slave said is the truth." Taisun Concubine, the slave kept saying that it was definitely not you. It's just that although the slave is grateful for your kindness, but this person's life is at stake, and it is about the emperor, how dare the slave cover it up for you again, don't you take back this ingot of silver. โ
Although he raised his head, Yang Ning touched her gaze and walked away, without looking at each other, only took out a fifty-tael silver ingot from his arms and put it on the ground.
Rewarding a servant, with fifty taels of silver ingots at a time? Everyone looked at Sun Qingyang's expression even more unkindly.
"I didn't give him this silver ingot." Sun Qingyang turned to Taozhi, she didn't see Taozhi's expression standing behind her just now, "Taozhi, you say, what was the situation at that time?" โ
"Slave, slave didn't see it." The peach branch is spitting.
Concubine Long Hui shouted angrily: "At this time, do you still want to cover up for your master? When you heard her deny it just now, you obviously showed an unbelievable look, and you didn't speak right at this time, hurry up and tell the truth, this world is the emperor, and it is not your turn to be the master of their palace. โ
What I said - even those who were sluggish and didn't think about why Sun Qingyang was like this, they all understood, and everyone looked at Sun Qingyang's expression, and they were all a little eyed.
The emperor really has three long and two short, few of them concubines have a way to live, and they almost all believe that Sun Qingyang will be like this, which is the conspiracy of the prince's party.
Taozhi cried "wow", sobbing and choking: "The slave really didn't see it, at that time, my master asked the slave and maid to go outside to see if the rain was heavy, if it was windy, let me find a bigger umbrella, so as not to cool the medicine jar in the food box when I gave medicine to the emperor later." When the slave and maid walked out of the palace gate, the slave maid heard the master say, 'I'll come, you go over there and bring the pink and blue medicine cup from the kiln', but when the slave and maid came back, it was Xiao Yang's father-in-law who filled a cup from the medicine jar, so that the master could try the medicine, and the master also said that the medicine was sweeter than in the past, and the silver spoon was indeed like what Xiao Yang's father-in-law said, and it did not change color at all. โ
She kept kowtowing, "Ladies and gentlemen, how could my master be so kind to people on weekdays, how could he poison the emperor?" What's more, she had tasted the medicine herself. I hope that all the ladies will investigate clearly and return the master's innocence. โ
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood that Sun Qingyang did decoct the medicine in the middle, and he also sent the peach branch out and asked Yang Ning to get the medicine cup.
Chen Lifei thought of the piece of broken porcelain that Wang An's father-in-law gave to Liu Yuan's envoy just now, it was indeed pink and blue, although she only glanced at it, but the thick and delicate, lustrous and smooth, like a cream-like glaze, looked like it was from the brother kiln, and her face sank more and more.
Although she is one of the four concubines, Concubine Zhang Shun, who is not very in charge of things on weekdays, said: "Your master is not a doctor, why is there any need to test the medicine?" Again, as the envoy of the Liu Yuan said just now, that medicine is harmless to ordinary people, it is the emperor's illness, and it cannot be touched, and if it is stained, it will become a poison that urges life. โ
Concubine Wang Xian, who had never spoken, also said: "It is precisely because ordinary people are fine after eating it that Concubine Sun dares to test the medicine, right?" I still want to show that I am innocent, but unfortunately, Liu Yuan has made my medical skills more and more refined in the past two years, and you have made a mistake in your wishful thinking. โ
The person who harmed the emperor is their enemy, even if Sun Qingyang is very likable on weekdays, but at this moment, witnesses, testimony, and evidence all show that she did it, and there is such an obvious motive, naturally, no one is willing to speak for her.
Even, looking at her, there was hatred.
Sun Qingyang was just trying the temperature of the medicine at that time, just like when her mother tried to coax her to take the medicine when she was a child, she would taste it first, it was not the toxicity of the medicine, and she was not a doctor, how could she know if the medicine was poisonous or not?
Because she tasted such a small bite every time, she knew that the medicine at that time was sweeter than before, but at this point, she had vaguely found that this was a trap for herself, no, for Ciqing Palace and Duanben Palace, knowing that it was useless to say more, just carefully observing everyone's expressions, hoping to find some clues.
Momoeda saw her gaze and lowered her head.
Sun Qingyang didn't understand why Taozhi would collude with Yang Ning to kill him, and when did they collude? It stands to reason that Yang Ning couldn't buy the peach branch when they were alone for a while before changing clothes, but why did they have such a consistent caliber?
