Chapter 330: The Jedi Strikes Back (Part II)
Feeling Mo Ao's fingers pinching his chin getting stronger and stronger, Han Xi's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but look up at Mo Ao, facing his eyes full of horror and inquiry, and asked inexplicably, "Your Majesty?" ”
Mo Ao suddenly let go of his hand, turned his arm behind his back, wiped and pinched Han Xilian's fingers vigorously on the dragon robe, his lips pursed tightly, and he directly reprimanded Han Xilian's puzzled eyes: "Queen, I didn't expect that your previous virtuous deeds were all pretended?" Concubine Li is carrying my flesh and blood in her belly, how can you poison an unborn child? ”
Han Xi's eyes trembled, tears couldn't help but fill his eyes, and he knelt down in front of Mo Aoyingying, his face full of pain: "Your Majesty, do you want to be a concubine like this?" After the concubine entered the palace at the age of sixteen, she has always been conscientious in managing the entire harem, even if she is troubled, she does not dare to have the slightest grievance, and always remembers in her heart that the emperor is the monarch of the people in the world first, and then the husband of the concubine. He was also lenient and kind to the sisters in the palace, and he never treated the princes harshly. The concubine has never done anything to be sorry for the emperor, how can you wronged me like this. ”
Han Xilian's words were true, her exquisite appearance and the tone of crying, even the stone couldn't help but soften her heart, but this kind of sadness in Mo Ao's eyes made him more and more frightened and unbearable, the queen in front of him was too beautiful, so beautiful that it was beyond his cognition, and her beautiful face was like pear blossoms with rain, so beautiful that she didn't look like a person in her early forties. Therefore, after listening to her touching words, Mo Ao didn't react at all, and looked at the queen's eyes becoming more and more cold: "Queen, you are still so quibble!" That palace maid proved it with death, could it be said that she was slandering you? ”
Han Xilian was a little unsure why her usual moves had no effect, but she was careful not to make any mistakes: "Your Majesty, although that palace maid belongs to the palace of the concubines, she is just a rough palace maid who cleans, how can she know such a private thing?" Moreover, it is precisely because she is directly seeking death that people are suspicious, if there is definite evidence, why should she be so afraid that she seeks death? ”
Mo Ao's chest rose and fell, and he couldn't say anything when he was questioned by Han Xipity.
Mu Qingya's lowered eyelashes trembled, and kneeling on the ground for a long time made her knees tingle, and at this time it was time for her to guide the play: "Back to the emperor, can you allow Qingya to go and check that screen?" ”
Mo Ao, who had already ignored Mu Qingya, turned his eyes to look over, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes: "Okay, you go and see." ”
"Your Majesty." Mu Qingya got up slowly, her body shook slightly, and only after a while did she walk in front of the screen, and carefully looked at the brightly colored silk threads on the screen, "Lord Xu, the color of this silk thread is somewhat similar to the screen I saw at Situ's house. ”
Xu He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly checked carefully: "Yes, this silk thread is not bad from the screen that Situ Yanran dedicated to the head of the Situ family at the beginning, the silk thread is concocted with medicine, but last time it was Qingfeng drunk, and this time it is a medicine that makes people miscarry." ”
Mu Qingya lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty, Qingya also discovered this coincidence by accident, speaking of which, there were doubts about the matter in Situ's house last time, but there was no evidence at that time, and Qingya didn't say anything, only to find out this time that things were too coincidental, they were all screens, and the methods of concocting were the same, as long as you find the person in charge of this matter in the Internal Affairs Office, you will have a result." ”
Han Xilian turned her head to look at Mu Qingya, her sharp gaze scraped her face like a knife, and she wanted to cut off a piece of flesh on her: "Lord Mu is too irresponsible to speak, just such a coincidence can conclude the connection?" ”
Mu Qingya lowered her head, and her voice was apologetic: "The queen's lesson is that it was Qingya who was arbitrary, and in the end, she found out about General Situ Fenghua in the Situ family, although there is evidence, it always seems too far-fetched." And this time it happened in the palace, could it be the handiwork of General Situ Fenghua? Although the palace is far away from the palace, and the palace is even more protected, it is inevitable that there will be people camping in two places. ”
Duanmu Lingyu on the side saw the queen's increasingly ugly face, and faintly hooked the corners of his lips, Qingya's words are too good, it is not easy for the Situ family outside the palace to get into the palace, but the queen in the palace has no burden if she wants to reach out to the palace. Mo Ao won't be confused.
Sure enough, hearing this, Mo Ao's expression became more and more complicated: "Xu He, is what Mu Qingya said sure?" ”
"Back to the emperor, what Lord Mu said is right, there are indeed similarities between the two screens, but if you want the Internal Affairs Office to check, it is not easy to come, this screen is quite complicated to manufacture, and there are many people in the middle, it is not easy to find out what is wrong."
Mu Qingya disagreed: "Things are not as complicated as Lord Xu said, the things that enter the palace, which are not checked through the number of procedures, do not ensure that they are harmless, they will not be able to enter the palace, this screen is beautifully embroidered, and it is the most difficult double-sided embroidery, plus the phoenix regulation of the screen embroidery, it can only be used by the palace concubines of the above grades, and this palace can be used in addition to the queen mother, that is, the concubine Niangniang, as long as you check it carefully, you will definitely be able to find out the problem." ”
Mo Ao's eyes were awe-inspiring, his eyes were firmly fixed on the screen, and he spoke after a while: "Come on, go and find the superintendent of the Internal Affairs Office and the people who have touched the screen!" ”
Han Xi's eyes moved, and a trace of bad premonition crossed her heart, how could Mu Qingya know so much about this matter? And how could the palace maid who was killed know about this screen? Could it be that she is being manipulated by something behind her back? Yes, she did want to use the screen to destroy the evil seed in Concubine Li's stomach before, but she did it very precisely, just thinking that in a few days, she would have people change the screen and eliminate the medicine on it, but she didn't expect the matter to be exposed today.
glanced at Mama Liu on the side, and a trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes, there was nothing to achieve and more to lose! This time, she had clearly planned everything thoroughly, and she would not let Mu Qingya retreat, she didn't expect that so many branches could be born.
Wei Hong, who was full of shock, was escorted in, and saluted in fear, many palace people who were killed by the cane outside the palace gate, blood flowed all over the ground, he looked at it and almost softened into mud with fright, and now when he saw Mo Ao, he only felt like he had seen the Lord of Yama: "The slave Wei Hong has seen the emperor." ”
Mo Ao glanced at him: "Go over and take a look, this screen is handled by the Internal Affairs Office?" And the incense of Guangning Palace is also handled by you, the superintendent, right? ”
Wei Hong trembled, climbed in front of the screen and looked at it carefully: "Back to the emperor, this screen is handled by the Internal Affairs Office." However, the name of the spices of Guangning Palace is handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in fact, it is because Jing Concubine Niangniang is good at preparing spices, and they are all prepared by Jing Concubine Niangniang. ”
Mo Ao's eyes lit up, and the killing intent spread irrepressibly, Guangning Palace was where he lived, burning incense all day long, and he, the emperor, didn't even know the origin of incense, it was simply funny!
was angry, and a guard walked in: "Back to the emperor, the servant went to Guangning Palace to announce the palace maid in charge of spices, and I didn't want to find out that the palace maid had committed suicide, so I only left a box full of jewelry in the palace." ”
Han Xilian turned her head and saw the box, her face suddenly changed, this box was given to the palace maid by Mama Zhao at the beginning. Didn't she tell Mama Zhao to find a way to get the box back and destroy it? How can it be searched?
Mo Ao looked at the box presented carefully, and after a while, he raised his hand to open the lid of the box, the box was full of exquisite jewelry that stung his eyeballs, the corners of his eyes kept beating, the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he flipped the box to the ground, and roared angrily: "Queen, what do you explain?" ”
Han Xilian's face turned pale, the matter was completely out of her control, she never thought that the matter would be revealed: "Your Majesty...... This ......"
Mo Ao propped up the table with both hands, and his tone was full of grief and indignation: "Queen, I always thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect that I would be deceived by you for so many years!" This is what I think is a good queen! This is the person I love! You femme fatale-hearted poisonous woman, you even want to persecute me, what else do you dare not do? ”
Mo Ao's chest ached, and his eyes turned black, there were too many things that broke out tonight, and he was able to hold out until now because of the anger in his heart.
Seeing Mo Ao's trembling body, Mu Qingya clenched her fists, now the emperor is afraid that he is very disappointed in the queen, a queen who can drug him, it is not too much to add some things to him. This time, she's going to pull the queen down from the high back seat!
"Back to the emperor, Qingya seems to have noticed that this puppet seems to be a little different." As he spoke, he took a doll that Mo Ao had brought down when he threw the jewelry.
Mo Ao looked over, his eyes full of impatience: "What's the difference?" ”
"The fabric of this doll seems to be snow silk brocade ......"
"It can't be!" Han Xipian exclaimed, he lost the noble style of the queen at once, the snow silk brocade is a tribute to the palace, there is only one horse in three years, it is extremely precious, and it has always been exclusive to the queen, and before, this point was also regarded by the people in the harem as evidence of the queen's favor. Han Xilian was also quite proud before, and he attached great importance to the snow silk brocade and never rewarded others.
Mo Ao endured his anger and walked down, snatched the puppet from Mu Qingya's hand, confirmed the fabric of the puppet with just one glance, and a wave of anger rushed straight to his head, smashing the puppet with a steel needle at Han Xipian!
"Ahh Han Xilian screamed in surprise, only to feel the burning pain in her cheeks, and the steel needle inserted behind the doll left three blood marks on her face.
