Chapter 277 - Personal interrogation
Prince's Mansion.
Today's prince's mansion is a little more solemn than usual, all the subordinates in the mansion are standing in the courtyard of the main courtyard, because the number of people, those below the second-class maid, are standing outside the courtyard, neatly and neatly, and they dare not look at their toes.
Standing at the front are the housekeepers and the housekeepers, because they are closest to the master, and they are also the most frightened.
It was half an hour, and the master didn't speak, these people just stood like this, and the cold snow wind blew on their bodies and shivered, I don't know if it was because of the cold or because of fear. The cold wind kept pouring into their necks, and everyone stiffened their upper bodies, not daring to move. The catkins-like snowflakes covered the body with a thin layer, and the breath that came out of it had no temperature, but the cold sweat on the back made these people inexplicably hot.
Fear finally overcame the cold, and even breathing became heavy.
Qin Mingyue was wrapped in a thick cloak and sat at the door with a pale face, although there was a brazier at her feet and a stove in her hand, she couldn't stand sitting in the snow for half an hour. The whole body was cold and cold, and I didn't even have the strength to move my fingers.
Ji was more worried about Qin Mingyue's body than anyone else, she secretly glanced at the person on the main seat, and stubbornly stuffed a stove into Qin Mingyue's hand.
Queen Yun smiled and looked at Ji's small movements, not feeling any dissatisfaction, but she didn't start to get down to business.
It wasn't until the morning snow stopped squirming that Queen Yun slowly put the porcelain cup in her hand towards the table.
Everyone subconsciously straightened their waists.
"This palace is here today for the sake of the two emperors."
The two imperial grandsons, naturally, include the one who died.
Qin Mingyue instinctively retracted her fingers, her fingers, which had already been frozen and stiff, had no sensation and could not complete the action she wanted to do.
When the words fell, the grandmother who had helped Zhang Ruishun thoroughly investigate the backyard of the Prince's Mansion stepped forward and handed a book similar to an excerpt in her hand to Queen Yun with both hands.
Qin Mingyue's heart tightened inexplicably.
Queen Yun took it, but did not open it, but glanced around, and said to the people standing below: "Some of you are people in the palace, and some of you are sold to the prince's mansion, no matter what it is, you should know that the prince is your master, and your life and death are in the hands of the prince." The master is good, you are good, follow the prince, you will be one level higher than ordinary people in the future, even if you are a subordinate of the prince's mansion, when you go out, you are also the object of stammering in the eyes of the family. It is your duty to be faithful, but it is a pity ......"
As soon as the tone changed, everyone shuddered.
Queen Yun sneered: "It's a pity that some people can't see their identities clearly, and they are so lawless that they are touted by outsiders, thinking that they are big people who can control the situation, and they do things that betray their masters!" ”
They knelt down one after another, not begging for mercy, but showing their loyalty in the most humble way.
Queen Yun looked coldly at the people kneeling in the snow, "Killing people pays for their lives, not to mention that it is the emperor's eldest grandson who dies, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans!" ”
The sharp gaze shuttled over everyone, "This palace is also refreshing once, if that person takes the initiative to stand up, this palace will leave him a whole corpse, if he dies with a fluke mentality and does not admit his guilt, then don't blame this palace for being ruthless." ”
The crowd fell prostrate on the ground, and no one cried out for injustice, and no one begged for mercy.
"Don't you stand up, do you think there is no evidence in this palace?" The sneer on Queen Yun's lips was even worse, and she put the fold in her hand on the low table beside her.
It was just a gentle movement, but it was like a heavy boulder pressing on the chest of these people, and it was difficult to breathe.
Mama comprehended Queen Yun's eyes, and immediately invited Zheng Ruihong, the head of the Tai Hospital, who was waiting in the outer courtyard.
Zheng Ruihong was followed by a person dressed like a eunuch, holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, an ordinary white porcelain bowl, which was not the kind of precious porcelain used in the palace, or the kind used by ordinary people.
After greeting everyone separately, Zheng Ruihong said with a serious expression: "Back to the queen, Weichen thoroughly inspected every place in the prince's mansion, from the grain storage in the kitchen to the flowers and plants in every yard, and finally found the cat. ”
"Oh?" Queen Yun knows how to control people's emotions very well, and a simple single tone that touches everyone's emotions.
Zheng Ruihong turned sideways and motioned for the eunuch behind him to step forward.
The eunuch stood in front of Queen Yun with a porcelain bowl.
"Queen, please look, this is a bowl of water that Wechen fetched from the well in the kitchen."
Qin Mingyue subconsciously covered her chest, her lips trembling.
"What's wrong with this water?" Empress Yun glanced at the unconventional well water.
Zheng Ruihong patiently explained: "There is something more in this well water, but it does not affect us to use it to boil water or cook, and it basically has no effect on the body, unless it is ......."
"Unless what?" Queen Yun faintly felt that Zheng Ruihong was going to say the point.
"Weichen checked the daily diet of the crown princess and Liangdi, and there is no problem when you look at it alone, it's just the sweet soup that the crown princess and Liangdi drank recently......"
"Is it a problem with the sweet soup?" Zhang Ruishun asked, looking anxious.
"Back to Your Highness," Zheng Ruihong arched his hands and said respectfully, "There is no problem with drinking sweet soup alone, and it even has a nourishing effect, but the ordinary medicine in the sweet soup and the things added in the well water are mutually reinforcing, if they are mixed together, after drinking them two or three times, it will have an impact on pregnant women." ”
"So Su Liangdi's child died before she was born?" Queen Yun said to Zheng Ruihong, "Those two flavors of medicine are so powerful, I have only been drinking it for a few days, and the child will ...... Why didn't Su Liangdi notice it at all? ”
The child is almost full-term, and the movement in the belly is also very obvious, even if Su Mengzhi has never given birth, but this feeling is still there, the child suddenly stopped moving in the belly, Su Mengzhi should be able to perceive it, if the labor is induced at that time, maybe, the child can still be born.
Besides, if the two herbs are mixed together and it is an abortion, then Su Mengzhi will feel that if he is going to give birth to a full-term child, it will really fall out of the belly, and it will be a heart-rending pain.
Zheng Ruihong explained: "Back to the queen, these two herbs are mixed together, which has a paralyzing effect, which will affect the interaction between Su Liangdi and the emperor and grandson, so Su Liangdi did not sense it. ”
"I see." Empress Yun said thoughtfully.
Originally, the child was not born yet, and the interaction with the mother was intermittent, and it was normal to not feel it for a while, and not to judge it.
"You go on." Zhang Ruishun said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Your Highness," Zheng Ruihong continued, "As for why the imperial grandson will continue to grow after his death, according to Weichen's opinion, it is the imperial grandson who is stillborn, and the connection with Su Liangdi is still there, and he continues to grow subconsciously, until he completely falls down and becomes an independent individual, he stops growing and completely ......."
Completely dead.
Su Mengzhi kept wiping away tears.
Zhang Ruishun on the side also had red eyes, held Su Mengzhi's hand, and comforted him in a low voice.
"What about the crown princess?" Queen Yun suddenly changed her words and pulled on Qin Mingyue.
Qin Mingyue clutched her chest weakly, she didn't know, she thought she was heartache for her child.
Zheng Ruihong's expression was complicated, and he didn't speak for a long time.
His silence was not good in the eyes of everyone, and the eyes that looked at Qin Mingyue were also strange.
Qin Mingyue tried to squeeze out a few tears, and said to Zheng Ruihong: "Imperial Doctor Zheng, what's the matter with the children in this palace?" ”
Zheng Ruihong arched his hands, but said to Queen Yun: "Back to the queen, the crown princess should be ......"
"What is it? What does such a mother-in-law do? In a hurry, Queen Yun said foul language.
Zheng Ruihong's eyes closed, and he said stubbornly: "It should be that I drank the medicine to resolve the side effects of those two flavors, but it was just ...... It's just that there's a problem with the dosage, so, that's why it's ......."
Only then did the monster be born.
"Sure enough, it's you, you give me back my child!" Su Mengzhi suddenly screamed and threw himself at Qin Mingyue.
If it weren't for Ji Shi standing beside Qin Mingyue all the time and blocking it for her, Su Mengzhi's sharp nails would have cut Qin Mingyue's face a long time ago.
"You talk nonsense!" Qin said at the end of the month, "Bengong is also a mother, how can he use his own children as a bet, not to mention, Bengong is the crown princess, and he needs to do something to a good woman?" ”
"It's you, it's you! Your Highness, the children of the concubines, our children, Your Highness......" Su Mengzhi tugged on Zhang Ruishun's sleeve, and his delicate smiling face was covered with crystal tears.
Zhang Ruishun patted Su Mengzhi on the back and said comfortingly: "Don't get excited, His Royal Highness will definitely find out about this matter, and give you justice and our children justice." ”
Su Mengzhi nodded, and did not continue to entangle, only looked at Qin Mingyue coldly.
"Queen Mother, Your Highness, the concubine really doesn't know anything, and the concubine is wronged." Qin Mingyue knelt on the ground, her face was pale because of the cold, and she had only been giving birth for a short time, her body had not yet recovered, and her delicate and weak appearance was unbearable.
"You get up first." Queen Yun still has a preference for this princess, and she glanced at the grandmother beside her, and the grandmother immediately helped Qin Mingyue up.
Qin Mingyue didn't know what to say again, so she had to return to her seat in anticipation.
Ji's heart was also faintly worried, but when he thought of the medicine woman, he was a little sure in his heart, until the end, he couldn't mess with himself, and when he really got to that point, it was a big deal to give up the medicine woman.
Taking a deep breath, Ji barely maintained the composure on his face, standing beside Qin Mingyue, comforting her.
Zheng Ruihong finally continued: "This flavor medicine is counterweight to the previous two flavors, but you have to master the dosage, otherwise...... The crown princess should have taken this medicine, and it should have been within half an hour of drinking the sweet soup, otherwise the effect of the medicine would have no effect at all. Originally, it was supposed to be no toxic to the emperor's eldest grandson, but there was a problem with the dose, so ......"
After stumbling and finishing, Zheng Ruihong's forehead was full of cold sweat.
"Mingyue, after you drank the sweet soup, what did you drink?"
"Nope." In order to show her innocence, Qin Mingyue looked directly into Queen Yun's eyes.
