Chapter 329: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
The canopy was stained with ink, and the drops of ink seemed to be dripping from the sky, as if they could be caught with just one hand.
The boundless black seems to cover the light with the palm of the hand, without revealing a trace, making people mistakenly think that the darkness can cover all evil.
Tonight's Longhuan Hall was silent, as if everything was asleep, and even the sound of the wind had never blown.
The Queen Mother stood outside the bed, holding a porcelain vase with colorful fairy peach in her hand, holding it tightly, her nails digging deeply at the patterns on it, and her bones were white and hideous. Her face was hesitant, and she didn't dare to act again, she kept gritting her teeth and holding her breath to adjust her breathing.
There was a night breeze passing through the hall, although it was warm, but she couldn't help but shiver, because her back was already dripping with sweat.
Suddenly, she took a deep breath, opened the lid of the bottle tremblingly, and approached Jingyu. Lifting the bright yellow light veil, she looked at Jing Yu, her breathing was disturbed, "Jing Yu, don't blame the mourning family, the mourning family is also a last resort." Anyway, you can't be sober, the mourning family will help you get free, and you will suffer like this again. ”
She was about to break Jingyu's mouth, but as soon as the words fell, there was a "pop", and the candles burst open, filling the room with light.
The person on the bed suddenly got up, so bluffing that the Queen Mother threw the porcelain vase on the red carpet. The room was dark before, and she couldn't see who was lying on the bed, she just thought it was the emperor. At this time, take a closer look, where is the emperor, it is clearly King Rong! And there are many people around who don't know when to stand up, Mu Zhaolin, the eldest princess of Yong'an and his wife, as well as Fan Zheng and several other veteran ministers.
"What kind of poison is the Queen Mother going to feed this king?" Jing Han's cold gaze flowed from the porcelain vase on the ground to the face of the Queen Mother, and said coldly.
The Queen Mother's face was pale, and at this time she was still in a hurry to deny it, "The mourning family is anxious that the emperor has not woken up, so he came to send medicine to the emperor, where is the poison?" ”
"The Queen Mother doesn't have to be busy denying it, she can find out if it's right or not." Mu Zhaolin instructed: "Send the imperial doctor." ”
The Imperial Physician soon arrived, took the silver needle and put it into the bottle of the remaining poison, and when it was taken out, it instantly turned into a pitch black color. The imperial doctor's face was frightened, and he looked at Jing Han and Mu Zhaolin with a silver needle, "It's a wine." ”
Liquor is the most toxic poison among all poisons, it has not entered the stomach and intestines, it has been cut off from the throat, and the poisoning is fatal and rapid, even if there is an antidote, it cannot be saved.
"Queen Mother, what else do you have to say!" Fan Zheng glared angrily, and the long beard of the white flower flew one by one because of the momentum. At first, King Rong and King Chen found him, but he didn't believe it, but he only felt that the queen mother wanted to be dignified and gentle, and she was by no means a sinister and treacherous person.
The Queen Mother was completely dumbfounded, staggered back, shook her head again and again, and spoke incoherently, "It's not me, it's not me, it's none of my business, it's not my business." "When people are in crisis, the first thing they think of is to protect themselves and put all the responsibility on others," It was King An, and it was Jing Wanxiang who asked me to do this. ”
Jing Han's voice was as cold as ice, oozing with cold air, "King Xuan'an has entered the palace." The palace attendant walked a few steps, stopped again, stared at the Queen Mother, and said, "Just say that the Queen Mother summoned you." ”
Xu is because Jing Han has just returned from the battlefield, and his whole body is full of murderous energy, and his words and deeds seem to be infected from the century-old ice pool. The Queen Mother looked at the cold eyes, and only felt that although she was in early summer, her heart had already fallen into the cold sky. Even in her name, she still didn't dare to stop it.
When a stick of incense was served, Jing Wanxiang was brought. Looking at the people gathered in the Longhuan Palace, he thought that the emperor was dead, and he was happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface. His expression was solemn and melancholy, as if worried: "Is something happening to the emperor?" ”
"Does King An want something to happen to the emperor?" Jing Han was disgusted in the face of his fake appearance, and asked rhetorically.
Jing Wanxiang was slightly stunned, glanced at the Queen Mother who was sitting on the side with her head bowed, and pondered in her heart, "What does King Rong mean?" How could this king hope that something would happen to the emperor? This king wishes that the emperor will prolong his life and live a long life! ”
"Oh? That's how you want the emperor to live a long life? The eldest princess of Yong'an threw the porcelain vase in front of Jing Wanxiang and said sharply.
Yongan and Mu Shulin also got a letter and returned to the imperial city a few days ago.
Jing Wanxiang looked at the bottle, frightened, unconsciously glanced at the Queen Mother, and scolded in his heart, "What a fool, I can't even do this little thing." ”
"Eldest Princess Yong'an, what are you talking about? Why can't this king understand? His face did not change, he was calm, without a trace of panic, he actually picked up the porcelain bottle, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, as if he had seen it for the first time, "What is this?" The bottle is quite beautiful. ”
Yongan has never seen anyone who can pretend to be like this, so he was angry and said: "Don't pretend to be garlic, the Queen Mother has already admitted that you handed it over to her and let her poison the emperor!" ”
The "pop" porcelain vase fell off from Jing Wanxiang's hand and shattered. He seemed to be frightened, and his face was full of depth, and he said righteously: "The princess can't talk nonsense, Weichen and the Queen Mother are not familiar with each other, how could she give her poison to murder the emperor, second, Weichen and the emperor have no grievances, why do you want to poison the emperor?" He arched his hand towards Yong'an and said solemnly: "Please take back what the eldest princess said just now!" ”
Yongan was angry, gritted his teeth and looked at him, eager to go up and tear his face. Mu Shulin gently smoothed her back and said, "Just now, the queen mother poisoned the emperor, and she was caught by us." The Queen Mother confessed to you, saying that you gave her the idea, and that you also gave her the poison. ”
"This is really ridiculous, it's just wrong!" Jing Wanxiang shouted injustice and bowed to the Queen Mother, his words were sincere, but exaggerated and disgusting, "Queen Mother, Weichen and you have no grudge and no hatred for a long time, why do you want to pull Weichen into the water?" Why did you say that Weichen instructed you to poison the emperor? ”
When the Queen Mother saw that he had pushed everything away, she was angry in her heart, and pointed at him and scolded: "Jing Wanxiang! You clearly gave me this poison, and now you don't admit it! You conscienceless, don't you remember what you said when you coaxed me? Now that I'm caught, you want to get out of business, I'm telling you, you're dreaming! ”
"Queen Mother! You have done such a rebellious thing, and you still want to frame this king and clear your name. Jing Wanxiang's expression changed, he was fierce, and pointed at the Queen Mother, "The emperor regards you as his own mother and respects you, but you can even murder the emperor for your own selfish desires, which is a great crime!" Such a slut, not killing is not enough to make the people angry! ”
"Jing Wanxiang! You bastard, you want to blame everything on me, you're just wishful thinking! The Queen Mother Huo Ran stood up and hit him like a madwoman.
Jing Wanxiang pushed her to the ground in disgust and shouted, "It's a crazy woman!" ”
The crimson phoenix robe dragged the floor, and the Queen Mother sat on the ground, her chest rising and falling like waves. She pointed at Jing Wanxiang and shook everything out, "King Rong, everything was instructed by King An to do it." Taking advantage of the emperor's serious illness and coma, he taught me to falsely pass on the holy decree and control the government as the queen mother. He also coaxed me to say that as long as the emperor died, he would support King Jin as the emperor. And because King Rong came back, he was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he wanted to cut the grass and kill the emperor, and then blame King Rong, killing two birds with one stone. Then he gave me poisoned wine and asked me to poison the emperor. ”
Jing Wanxiang vigorously denied it, and his face was not as calm as before, "It's just a frame, this is a frame, King Rong, the ministers must not listen to this crazy woman's nonsense, she is crazy to catch a person and bite indiscriminately." At this moment, he looked at the Queen Mother, his eyes were scarlet, and he couldn't wait to stab her in front of everyone to shut her mouth.
Jing stared at him indifferently, until he closed his mouth weakly and said, "Then why didn't she arrest others and bite you out?" ”
"This-" Jing Wanxiang's eyes were uncertain, he thought for a long time, and said: "It's because of my sister, she knows that the emperor has a personal relationship with my sister, so she is resentful, and always looks for opportunities to harm our Anwangfu." He clapped his hands vigorously and looked at the Queen Mother through gritted teeth, "I didn't expect your heart to be so vicious, not only feeding the emperor poison, but also plotting to kill our Anwang Mansion by the way, you are simply a femme fatale!" ”
"Oh? I see. Jing Han bowed his head and said suddenly.
Jing Wanxiang thought that Jing Han believed him, and his heart was slightly relieved, and said, "Exactly." ”
Jing Leng laughed, and then changed his words, and said coldly: "But from the time you came here to the present, no one has told you that the Queen Mother fed the emperor poison, but you know it clearly!" You still said that you didn't know in advance, and that it wasn't the poison you gave to the Queen Mother? ”
Jing Wanxiang's body shook, almost unsteady, his face was as white as paper, he swallowed his throat, still quibbling, "That's what I guessed at random, I didn't expect me to guess correctly." ”
"You were convincing just now, and you must have taken the poison that the Queen Mother gave to the emperor!" Jing Han pressed forward step by step, leaving him no room for defense, and without waiting for Jing Wanxiang to speak, Jing Han raised his voice and drowned out his words, "Poison is not common, only the royal family only has a few bottles, but you guessed that it was poison, do you think you can make sense?" Do you think everyone is stupid and will believe you? ”
Jing Wanxiang retreated step by step, against the wall, and there was no way to retreat.
With a slight snort, he opened his eyes as sharp as a nighthawk, but his face was as usual, no longer panicked, and only asked: "Does the emperor drink poisonous wine?" ”
Yongan said angrily: "Of course you hope that your conspiracy and treachery will succeed, but fortunately, God has eyes, let us explore your tricks, so that the emperor will not be in trouble." ”
Jing Wanxiang pretended to be calm, but sweat was already dripping on his forehead, "It's none of my business, and you don't want to think about it, why does the Queen Mother listen to me as a prince, how can she be instructed by me, this is purely her slander, she wants to find a scapegoat, don't believe what she said." ”
