Volume 6 Chapter 32 Follow the Trail
A lot of things were found from all over the place, and even in the place where she lived, food that was not suitable for the fetus was found. It's just that these are ordinary foods, except that pregnant women can't eat too much, and they don't get in the way.
It's just that nothing useful was found from Tong Ruofei's residence. When she was surprised, she saw Tong Ruofei looking at herself with a smile on her face, and she already understood in her heart that the matter was still revealed and discovered by Tong Ruofei.
Because what is found is not fatal, and naturally it will not punish others. When Jing Hao heard the news, the whole person panicked.
When she was thinking about countermeasures, she saw Lan Xin holding a lacquer plate into the hall.
"Your Majesty, this is something that the concubine just met the palace maid next to the imperial concubine and wanted to quietly throw into the lake, and the concubine stopped her, I don't know what it is, so I can only take it over to the emperor to see." Lan Xin offered the things, and when she saw Tong Ruofei's face, she changed the moment she saw the things.
Tong Ruofei looked at Lan Xin stiffly, his face pale. She didn't even hear the question Xuan Ye asked her.
"What the hell is this?" Xuan Ye saw that Tong Ruofei ignored him, and turned his head to look at Lu Wenhan, who was waiting on the side.
Lu Wenhan carefully inspected the sachet handed over by Xuan Ye, his face changed suddenly, and he replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, this thing is highly poisonous, and it is the same poison as when Concubine Yi gave birth to a dead baby. ”
Xuan Ye was furious when he heard this, raised his hand and took the sachet in Lu Wenhan's hand and threw it towards Tong Ruofei: "How do you explain." ”
Tong Ruofei was dazed and overwhelmed, she had never felt as cold as she did now. It turns out that this is the feeling of being suspected, and it turns out that it is like being framed and framed. For so many years, she is the only one who has been constantly calculating others, who would have thought that one day she would fall into the trap of others.
Now it seems that the person who set up the plot to want her to die turned out to be the woman she tried so hard to woo. It's really ridiculous, she planned for so long, killed Guo Luo Luo Chunyin, and forced Cao Ziqing away, just to make Lan Xin submit to herself. Unexpectedly, her discord never worked.
It's because she thinks too beautifully, thinking that there are only eternal interests in this world, and there is no sincere friendship and family affection. It was Lan Xin who made her understand that there was a kind of kindness that could not be erased no matter what.
Once the great kindness of Chunxi to Lan Xin, Lan Xin has never forgotten. Even if the real murderer who killed the sixth elder brother was Guo Luoluo Chunyin, even if Chunxi shielded the real murderer, Lan Xin had a grudge in her heart, and she would dissipate because of this kindness.
"The concubine is wronged." Tong Ruofei knelt on the ground, tears rolling in his eyes. She didn't know if her tears were worth anything at this moment, and whether she could make Xuan Ye pity herself and believe in herself. But she still didn't want to cry, she didn't want the wolves standing to devour her and laugh at her.
"A word of injustice, that's all?" Xuan Ye looked at Tong Ruofei with wide eyes, but he could only look at the top of her head, and he could only look at her combing her hair in a neat bun.
"The concubine has not done it, and she will not admit it. The concubine understands, and now it is not clear whether it is justified. But the concubine hopes that the emperor can give the concubine a little trust and investigate the matter thoroughly. It will definitely come out, and the concubine will be innocent. Tong Ruofei knew that such words would not make Xuan Ye's heart soften, but he could only do it with the attitude of giving it a try.
Xuan Ye was furious and shouted, "Bring Lian Rui up." ”
Inevitably pity Rui to protect the lord, when Xuan Ye commanded, Chun Xi had already taken the lead and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to be the master of the concubines, and promise to be the master for the king." ”
This time, Wang Meiyu is still recuperating from a miscarriage, so naturally she will not be present. In this Qingxi Book House, there are only Tong Ruofei, Chunxi, Lan Xin, Ma Jia Yiqing and Jing.
"How innocent the concubine's child died back then, since the medicine is the same, presumably it was not Song Chang who killed my child back then. It seems that Song Chang was also wronged back then, and if she wanted to commit suicide and confess her guilt, it was all fake. "Tears flowed down her voice, so she didn't provoke pity. When Xuan Ye thought of their first child, his heart was like a knife.
For more than ten years, although they have given birth to three sons in succession, every time they think of their first child and the one they lost, they feel sad. This is the regret of the two of them, how can it not hurt?
Xuan Ye still remembered that he had promised that as long as Chunxi gave birth to a prince, he would be made the prince. But it didn't take long for Yinren to be canonized, which was already his dishonesty.
If the child's death really has nothing to do with Song Ting, the real culprit is someone else. Who should pay for their suffering over the years?
Xuan Ye helped Chunxi up, hugged her and comforted: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the real murderer and punish her severely." ”
"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter. Since it is also involved in the previous Yifei dystocia. In this way, Concubine Jing said that Zhen Chang did it, I'm afraid it's not true. Ma Jia Yiqing struck while the iron was hot and said: "Concubine Yi had a difficult birth at the beginning, and Zhen Changzai has not yet entered the palace, so how can she use poison." Since Concubine Jing heard such rumors, I am afraid that someone also wanted to take the opportunity to frame Zhen Changzai. After all, everyone who promises to be with the king every day, except for the emperor, is Zhen Chang. ”
"Now it seems that you have wronged a good person." Xuan Ye frowned and looked at Jing Hao. Jing Hao didn't dare to speak, only nodded silently.
Tong Ruofei is still kneeling on the ground, how long has it been, how long has she not knelt on the cold ground like this? It's really ironic, obviously there was a thick layer of red felt in the hall yesterday, and she removed it this morning, ready to replace it with a new one. Who would have thought that before the felt could be replaced, she would actually kneel on the cold ground.
This jade is so hard, it really hurts to kneel. Soon, Tong Ruofei couldn't stand it, but he didn't dare to move. Now she can't do anything, even if there is a way to get away with it, but there is no way to do it. Originally, when he found out that there was a problem with the sachet on Lian Rui's body, he was already ready to be splashed with sewage. Who knows, Lian Rui was caught by Lan Xin for selling the stolen goods. Perhaps, she has always sent someone to keep an eye on her, otherwise she would have caught her so coincidentally.
"The Emperor's ......" Wang Meiyu's voice came from the door, and everyone turned around when they heard it. I saw that Wang Meiyu was dressed thinly, and even one of her shoes fell off, and the palace maid behind her couldn't pull it, so she rushed straight into the house.
Seeing this, Xuan Ye had no choice but to let go of the, took a few steps forward, and held Wang Meiyu up, a little annoyed: "Why did you run here?" ”
"What is going on? Wang promised that he had just had a miscarriage, how could his body withstand the toss. Lan Xin turned to the side and scolded the palace maid who followed at the door.
The palace maid was stopped by this formation, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Tong Ruofei kneeling on the ground, I don't know why, her feet were soft, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor is angry, and the mother is angry." The little lord was so sad that he fainted several times, and when he sobered up, he shouted that he wanted to see the emperor, but the slaves and maids couldn't stop him. ”
"Foolish thing, there are so many of you, can't you stop her? In the end, you are useless, get out, let the consultant choose another group of people to wait for the king to agree, today is related to this matter, after returning to the palace, immediately go to the Shen Xing Division to receive the punishment, get out. Xuan Ye raised his head and glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, furious.
Turning his head, Xuan Ye said to Wang Meiyu again: "You go back and rest first, I will make the decision for you." ”
"No...... The concubine didn't dare to go back. The concubine is afraid, afraid that someone will harm me......" Wang Meiyu cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and I felt pity. Xuan Ye sighed helplessly, so he had to order someone to send Wang Meiyu to his own residence in the backyard, and comforted her: "If you live here with me, no one will dare to harm you again." ”
This toss, Mercy Rui was also brought.
Seeing that his master was still kneeling in the middle of the hall, Lian Rui didn't dare to stand, but only knelt on the ground tremblingly, feeling uneasy.
"How did this thing come about?" Xuan Ye kicked the sachet that originally fell beside Tong Ruofei.
Lian Rui glanced at it, knew the importance of this thing, and didn't dare to talk nonsense, wanting to find an answer in Tong Ruofei's eyes, but Tong Ruofei turned his back to her at the moment, and Mo said that he gave a hint, but he couldn't even see her current expression.
Pian Rui could only say truthfully: "This is somewhat similar to the personal sachet of the slave maid, but it is not the slave's thing." ”
"Since it's not yours, why would Concubine De see you discarding this thing?" She asked in a deep voice.
Mercy shook her head and said, "The slave just lost something that doesn't belong to her. ”
"What a sharp-toothed girl." The corners of Lan Xin's mouth hooked up a smile, bent down and picked up the sachet from the ground, and handed it to her eyes: "Bengong remembers, your embroidery is good, and the flowers and grass on this sachet are not ordinary embroidery." Looking at the entire palace, except for the embroidery girl, there are few people who know. You yourself say that the sachet is similar to what you are close to, so why don't you dare to admit that it is your thing? If this thing is really not yours, why should you throw it away while there is no one around? It's just a sachet that you can throw anywhere. Anyway, it's not your own, so it's not a pity to throw it away. But you not only threw it, but also acted suspiciously. You must know what this sachet is inside. ”
"The slave doesn't know." Once again, Rei denied it.
Lan Xin then said, "You don't know? Wrong, you know it better than anyone else. When the palace got the sachet, it didn't know what it contained, so it was brought to the emperor to see. If it weren't for Imperial Physician Lu's proof, the palace wouldn't know what kind of poison was here. You clearly know that it contains the things that the king promised to abort, so you will privately take advantage of no one to throw them away. If it weren't for the palace's discovery, you would have been able to get out now. ”
"The slave really doesn't know, let alone what the poison is." Lian Rui bit it to death and said that she didn't know, she didn't admit it, she didn't believe that these people had any other way.
"Hmph, you wear this sachet every day, go with the imperial concubine to visit the king and promise, and unknowingly let the king promise to have an abortion. Now that the East Window incident has happened, it will inevitably affect yourself and your master, so you think of destroying this evidence. Chun Xi sharply accused: "Since you said that the sachet is not yours, then you take out the sachet that you wear every day." If you hadn't made it yourself, it wouldn't have been the same as your previous embroidery. Send someone to get your embroidery for comparison, and you will know it. ”
Pian Rui was startled and immediately speechless. Only then did she remember that last spring, Lan Xin had told her that her embroidery was excellent, and no one in Yonghe Palace could compare with her, so she asked her to make a sachet for her.
It turns out that you had planned today's events a year ago?
"Don't dare to argue?" Lan Xin looked at her and asked, "Who made you do this?" ”
Seeing that things had not taken a turn for the better, and seeing Lan Xin being so aggressive, Lian Rui smiled sadly: "Naturally, it's Concubine De Niangniang." Last year, Concubine De asked the slave maid for a sachet, wasn't this one sent by the slave maid? ”
"Nonsense, what you gave to this palace is clearly this one." Lan Xin took out a sachet that looked almost the same: "The ones you made for the palace are all good materials, how can it be the same as this sachet with poison?" ”
After speaking, he handed his sachet to Xuan Ye: "Your Majesty, take a look, whether this sachet is the same as that one's needlework." ”
Xuan Ye naturally didn't understand this little bit of a woman's thing, but he could also see that the two sachets were very similar.
already knew it in his heart, no longer listened to Lian Rui's arguments, nor did he ask Tong Ruofei, and raised his voice: "Drag this cheap maid out and kill her with a cane." This matter is related to the imperial concubine, and I will also strictly inquire about it, and first stop it, remove the people who are waiting with me, and no one will be allowed to visit. ”
This oracle made Tong Ruofei breathe a sigh of relief.
Since he didn't dispose of himself immediately, there was room for turnaround. Moreover, Lian Rui has never admitted that it has anything to do with the murder of the emperor's heir, and Tong Ruofei naturally insists that he has never done it. This matter is not clear, and the execution of a palace maid is not a big deal.
