"Slave maid...... Slaves...... Got into trouble! The slave went to the imperial dining room! Zhiqiu's voice trembled, and his head slammed on the ground. I don't know if the sound of the head knocking on the ground is too loud, or the words are too shocking, as soon as this word came out, the hall instantly sounded a "sizzle", not by one person, but everyone gasped.

"What are you doing in the Imperial Dining Room?" The emperor's voice was already very deep.

Rong Yunxi's heart also sank with the emperor's obviously questioning voice.

"Slave maid...... The slave went to find Zhuojiu......" Zhiqiu cried.

"Looking for Zhuo wine? When did Zhuojiu come to the Imperial Dining Room? Rong Yunxi asked.

"Zhuo Jiu didn't come to the imperial dining room, and the slave maid was tricked...... On the way to Penglai Palace, when Dongxue bumped into the slave maid, he secretly stuffed a note to the slave maid. The slave maid saw that it was Zhuo Jiu's handwriting, and said that she wanted the slave and maid to meet outside the imperial dining room. The slave maid did not suspect it, and because she was worried about Zhuo Jiu, she hurriedly ran to the imperial dining room...... But when she arrived at the imperial dining room, the slave couldn't find Zhuo Jiu...... "Put your heart sideways and say these words, Zhiqiu is not so afraid." Anyway, sticking out the head is a knife and shrinking the head is also a knife, it is better to say it clearly, maybe there can be help.

"Where's the note?" The emperor asked.

Rong Yunxi also wanted to ask like this. Now Zhiqiu's statement can only prove that she did go to the imperial dining room - because if she didn't go to the imperial dining room, there was no need to take trouble from herself. When she said this, she could prove that she had indeed been to the imperial dining room, but it could not prove that what she said about being framed was indeed true. To the ears of others, it is also possible that she deliberately took the initiative to admit it in order to avoid responsibility.

Rong Yunxi naturally didn't believe that Zhiqiu would be so confused that she poisoned Xing'er, but she didn't believe it, it didn't matter to this matter. What everyone looked at was not her attitude, but the evidence that Zhiqiu could come up with. Since she said that it was because Dongxue gave her a note that she went to the imperial dining room, then the note is the only evidence known now.

But Zhiqiu's answer was: "I was swallowed into my stomach by the slave maid......"

This is tantamount to slapping myself in the face, which is tantamount to showing everyone that what I just said is false, that I made it out of the tongue, and that no one or anything can prove that what I said is true.

"Swallowed in your stomach?" The emperor obviously sneered.

But when the words fell, he glanced at Rong Yunxi, but he didn't say anything more.

If you continue to ask, it will not be Zhiqiu who is asking, but Yunxi. Zhiqiu, a little slave, if he didn't have the master's instructions, how could he dare to poison the only prince of the Wind Country? And her master, the woman standing beside him, is his most trusted and favored queen.

He can suspect that Wanxi has been using him, and he can suspect that Wanxi has been plotting for the benefit of Snow Country, but he will never believe that Yunxi will attack a child. The family and the country are all over the world, and with the mind of Yunxi, it is indeed possible. Because of this, it is impossible for Wanxi to be short-sighted enough to deal with a small child. Because her heart is too big and her vision is too far-sighted, it is impossible for her to do this kind of thing that only a jealous woman in the deep palace would do.

Seeing that the emperor didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at Xing'er, who was completely a loving father who was worried about his son, and not the vigilant king, Rong Yunxi glanced at Zhiqiu and didn't say anything anymore.

Can you still blame Zhiqiu and ask her why she swallowed the note? Needless to ask, Zhiqiu can go behind her back to read this note, which shows that Zhiqiu does not fully trust her. If not, how could he not tell her about the note handed over by Dongxue?

People's hearts are different, and it is useless to talk about them.

At this time, all she can do is wait. Waiting for the results from the imperial doctor, waiting for Bo Xinlan to come up with evidence, waiting for ...... His decision.

Things have just begun, but it seems that she has run out of arguments.

Zhiqiu has been to the imperial dining room, and this is the most direct evidence that is enough to convict her.

What is Zhiqiu's identity? How could anyone ignore the matter of going to the imperial dining room? Presumably, the people in the imperial dining room must have seen Zhiqiu. And if Zhiqiu hadn't gone to the main house of the imperial dining room, Zhiqiu wouldn't have been so scared now, and she would naturally have said it, saying, "The slave didn't go to the main house of the imperial dining room."

But Zhiqiu is now just blindly admitting his guilt, but he is only determined that he has been framed. In this way, it can be seen that Zhiqiu not only went to the imperial dining room, but also went to the main house of the imperial dining room. In the eyes of others, there is a good chance that she will poison Xing'er's diet. Obviously, Zhiqiu fell into the trap of the other party, and was trapped to death. There is no room for excuse other than telling the truth.

But on the contrary, no one can believe the truth that Zhiqiu said.

Rong Yunxi patted Xing'er's hand and was not flustered, and there was no panic or fear on his face, but in his heart, he was really nervous and really panicked. What she was nervous about was his heart.

If all kinds of evidence point to her, if everyone believes that she did the poisoning of Xing'er, what will he think? Will he still be on her side, will he still believe her?

Will he believe the evidence, or will he believe her?

She was nervous about his heart, panicked, at this time, she seemed to be powerless.

If Zhiqiu had told her this behind her back, she might have been able to figure out a way to deal with it. But at this time, Zhiqiu confessed so abruptly in front of visitors from other countries and in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, putting her on a high platform and making it difficult for her to walk down easily. At this time, everyone must have thought that the situation at this time had been negotiated by their master and servant; The situation at this time is a plan she used with her maid in order to escape responsibility, a plan for a thief to catch a thief.

Even if there are a hundred mouths, there is no way to argue.

For the first time, Rong Yunxi tasted the helplessness and despair of being unjust.

However, this feeling is only temporary. People live in the world, and the word "despair" is too cowardly. Even if you reach the situation where there is a sword and axe in front of you and a cliff in the back, as long as you are not afraid, as long as you don't want to die, you will never be able to say these two words. What's more, her current situation is far from the point where she has to commit suicide.

Even if she is in a dead end, she must save herself.

The current situation is that Zhiqiu has admitted that she has been to the imperial dining room, but Zhiqiu will never admit that she poisoned Zixing'er's porridge. After all, Zhiqiu has followed her for so many years, and she still has confidence in Zhiqiu's backbone. As long as Zhiqiu doesn't admit it on the spot in the palace, after this night, they will have a chance to turn the tables.

Since Zhiqiu said that the note was given to her by Dongxue, if you start from Dongxue's body, you may find a flaw. But this search is not something that can be completed in a moment, let alone now, on the spot, she needs time.

If you can't find a way to defend yourself for the time being, you can only resist death and refuse to admit it, and you can only do your best to delay time.

While they were thinking about it, Dongxue and Yunshang hurried over with the imperial doctor. The emperor handed the porridge on the table in front of him to Imperial Physician Bai and ordered, "Check it." ”

Imperial Physician Bai took out a silver needle from the medicine box and put the silver needle into the porridge. But with a breath, the silver needle went black from beginning to end. Frightened, Imperial Doctor Bai was shocked: "Your Majesty...... It's poisonous! ”

"I know it's poisonous, maybe I can see what poison it is?" The emperor asked very calmly.

Mrs. Bai pinched a little rice porridge with her fingers, put it under her nose and smelled it, and tried it with a test needle in the medicine box, and said affirmatively: "Back to Your Majesty, it's arsenic." ”

The emperor took a deep breath and ordered: "Zhonggui, take out this bowl of poisonous porridge and deal with it, don't let it harm people." ”

"Yes." Li Zhonggui answered, took the porridge from the hands of the white imperial doctor, and went around the apse to the outside.

Imperial Physician Jiang and two young imperial physicians were taking Bo Xinlan's pulse, and seeing that the emperor had just finished asking at this moment, he reported: "Fortunately, Concubine Bo Niangniang took very little, although the toxicity reached the lungs, but such a small amount was not fatal. It's just that he fell into a coma because of the toxicity, and when Weichen and others detoxify Niangniang, she will be able to wake up after a while. ”

The emperor nodded and instructed Yunshang and Dongxue: "Carry Concubine Bo to the bed in the apse." ”

He also instructed the little eunuch standing behind him: "Clean up Concubine Bo's side, don't affect the appetite of the distant guests." ”

Lei Qianliu smiled and said, "Third brother, things have come to this, where do we still have an appetite?" The imperial dining room in your country is inevitably too casual, how can anyone come and go at will? If someone also wants to do anything in our eating, just us old men who eat meat and drink a lot, who can have the luck of Concubine Bo? Don't you have to die thoroughly? How dare we eat again! ”

Immediately, Song Taishi saluted and said: "I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Wind Country will forgive me, if something like this happens, everyone will have palpitations, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to feast as well as Fang Cai." The minister has a proposal, so the feast will be dispersed! His Majesty the Emperor has dealt with the affairs of the harem first, and the family is stable, so it is not too late to greet us again. ”

"Yes, third brother, who doesn't have any housework? Anyway, all the nations have come to make everyone understand, and no one will complain about you because you didn't eat a meal. I won't laugh at you because of the dispute between your concubines. The third brother can only rest assured to deal with the affairs of the family, and it is not too late to greet us again. Lei Qianliu smiled with Song Taishi's words.

Because of Feng Beiyi, he called the third brother affectionately, and completely started the friendship of his family, but avoided the embarrassment and restraint that Xiang Feng Guo should have.

The emperor knew that Lei Qianliu was in a hurry to end this banquet in order to avoid waiting for a while for the Lei Kingdom to pay tribute to the Wind Country in front of all the countries. If this banquet is not successful, Lei Qianliu only needs to quietly send the New Year's tribute in and end it, so as not to say that he will pay tribute to him in front of the envoys of various countries.

Although the emperor knew that this was Lei Qianliu's calculation, Lei Qianliu's words were not unreasonable. When such a thing happens, no one has the heart to continue this feast. Looking at the nodding heads of the other countries, he also knew that there was no need to continue to greet them. What's more, what he wants is for all the countries to know clearly that the Thunder Country is a vassal to their Wind Country, not the face that he has to bow to the Emperor of the Thunder Country. In this case, it is better to disperse this feast, and everyone wants to be pure.

So he smiled: "My brother-in-law is very right. It's just that today's banquet was originally set up to accept the submission of Lei Guo, and now my brother-in-law has brought the first year's tribute, I heard that my brother-in-law has prepared gold outside the Penglai Palace, how can I live up to Lei Guo's sincere surrender? In that case, why don't we sit down and drink a cup of tea first, and wait until my brother-in-law unloads the annoying gold on my side, and then disperse the feast? ”
