Chapter 25: Counterattack
After listening to Yun Tian's words, Xi Ze's manic anger swept over again, this Xie family originally came to the middle palace in order to amuse Wang Ningxuan, but he didn't expect it to be "luring the wolf into the room", the bitter hatred slapped violently, Xi Ze looked straight at Xie Huanting angrily, and roared sharply: "Xie Shi, say, who instructed you to poison the queen?" β
Xie Huanting was so yelled that her spine trembled, and she barely calmed down: "Emperor Mingjian, this is Concubine Rong's frame!" The concubine is innocent, the concubine did not poison the queen's mother, nor did she instruct someone to put musk in Weiyang Palace, these are just Concubine Rong's speculations, she has no evidence at all, and the concubine is wronged...... She wants to pull the concubine to be a backing for herself, Shu Kui and Imperial Doctor Shao have already confessed, their mastermind behind the scenes is Concubine Rong, the concubine is innocent, please let the emperor know! After speaking, he kowtowed three times to Xi Ze, and then quickly looked at Yun Tian and asked sharply, "Concubine Rong, the concubine has never offended you, why did you frame the concubine?" Your Weiyang Palace is heavily guarded, who dares to walk around at will in it, every time the concubine visits you in the Weiyang Palace, she has only been to your dormitory, when have you explored the terrain of the Weiyang Palace, so many slaves and slaves in the Weiyang Palace are watching, you ask them, have you seen the concubines have explored the terrain of the Weiyang Palace? β
Yun Tian looked back coldly and replied unceremoniously: "Have you ever explored the terrain of Weiyang Palace, you know it in your own heart!" You are looking left and right in Weiyang Palace, others only think you are in the rare Weiyang Palace, who can guess your disgraceful thoughts? β
"It's all your speculation, you don't have any evidence at all...... Xie Huanting screamed sadly, but as soon as the words came out, she was interrupted by Xi Ze: "Xie Shi, you're not telling the truth, are you?" Do you want me to treat you like Shu Kui, so that you are willing to recruit, right? β
When Xie Huanting heard this, her face instantly turned extremely pale, and she cried so much that she didn't forget to shout injustice: "Emperor Mingjian, it's really not the concubine who is framing the queen." The emperor didn't believe it, so he asked Imperial Doctor Shao that he had confessed that Concubine Rong had asked him for musk in private, and Shu Kui had also confessed that the mastermind behind her was Concubine Rong. The concubine is just a matter of facts, and the concubine has nothing to do with musk, the emperor knows ......"
However, she far underestimated Xi Ze's trust in Yun Tian Cheng DΓΉ, after the incident in the palace. Xi Ze's trust in Yun Tilt Cheng DΓΉ has greatly improved, at this time, no matter how many people come out to accuse Yun Tilt, he will not believe it, Xi Ze sharply interrupted Xie Huanting's shouting of grievances, glanced at a puddle of muddy Shu Kui, and then turned his eyes to look at Imperial Doctor Shao, and asked with a gloomy face: "You said that Concubine Rong once asked you for musk in private, so you tell me, when and where did Concubine Rong ask you for musk?" And on what grounds did they ask you for musk? Why is there no record in the account books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? If there's one thing you can't tell. Wantonly framed Concubine Rong, I will make you die a bad death, you give me a careful answer! β
Imperial Doctor Shao, who was kneeling on the ground on the side, faced Xi Ze's questioning, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, looking at the situation in front of him, he was already confused, trembling all over, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xi Ze waited impatiently, and then roared: "Say, who asked you for musk?" Who is behind you? Say it, and I'll spare you from death! β
Imperial Doctor Shao replied tremblingly, "Yes...... It was the musk that Rou Jieyu asked for from the minister, and the minister was not allowed to record it in the account book, and threatened the minister. said that if the emperor asked, he would say that Concubine Rong had asked the minister for musk, but ...... But the minister really doesn't know what she wants Musk to do, and the minister has no intention of murdering the queen's mother, and the emperor spares his life......"
When Xie Huanting heard this, her eyes were as big as copper bells, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The other side. Xi Ze's roar followed: "Xie Shi, what else do you have to say?" Why don't you confess to me quickly, say it! β
Xie Huanting was so yelled at by Xi Ze that she trembled, and cried intermittently: "Your Majesty, this is a frame-up, the concubine did not plot to kill the queen's mother......"
Still shouting injustice? Xi Ze was really irritable when he heard it, raised his head, the sky outside was already white, and unconsciously, he had been tossing all night, he was going to go to the court soon, and there was no time to spend it with Xie Huanting, he sharply interrupted Xie Huanting's shouting of grievances, and asked word by word: "Xie Shi, I am asking you for the last time, who is the mastermind behind you?" If you don't say it, I will send you to the prison of the Criminal Department, hand you over to Xia Shangshu, and ask him to send two cool officials to take turns to interrogate you, until you confess, you have figured out whether to recruit you here or to recruit from the Criminal Department? β
When Xie Huanting heard this, her face instantly turned like ashes, this time, she was so relieved that even the strength to cry seemed to be exhausted, and when she came back to her senses, she immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Your Majesty, the concubine is really wronged...... The concubines did not poison the queen......"
Seeing that she was still crying out for injustice, Xi Ze had completely lost his patience, and he no longer spent much time with her, so he turned his head to Sixi and ordered: "Sixi, pen and ink are waiting, I want to write a secret decree to Xia Shangshu!" β
"Yes!" Sixi received the order and quickly brought a pen and paper for Xi Ze, Xi Ze took the paper and spread it on the desk beside him, and as soon as he lifted the pen, Xie Huanting's terrible scream came harshly: "Your Majesty, don't ...... Xia Shangshu has to take care of the divine doctor, how can he have time to interrogate his concubines? β
She was terrified to the extreme, and she couldn't think of any other way to save herself, and her words became confused and perfunctory, almost gibberish.
When Xi Ze heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, his eyes swept towards Xie Huanting, and said unceremoniously: "Rou Jieyu, is your news too well-informed, Xia Shangshu has only been going to Lanyue Tower for a few hours?" You know that he has to take care of the miracle doctor and doesn't have time to interrogate you? Hum...... Xia Shangshu searched and rescued the divine doctor during this time, and he didn't have time to close his eyes and rest for a few days and nights, and now he really doesn't have the spirit to interrogate you, but the assassination of the divine doctor this time obviously has a great deal to do with the affairs of the Middle Palace, he treats the divine doctor as his own brother, and now he is hoping that I will send him more clues to help him find the real culprit who murdered the divine doctor, believe it or not, I will pass the news to Xia Shangshu now, he will definitely rush to the criminal department immediately, wait for you there, and you don't have to sleep, you don't have to eat, you don't have to drink water, you will be interrogated first?! β
"Don't...... The emperor spared his life...... Don't send your concubines to the prison of the Criminal Department......"
Xie Huanting's bitter begging for mercy was still endless, but the pen in Xi Ze's hand was moving fast, and after writing, he immediately handed it over to Sixi, and instructed: "Sixi, you bring a message to me to Wan Feng, so that he doesn't have to worry, he has been sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and he can't run, let him eat and sleep enough before he will interrogate Xie!" β
"Yes, the slave obeys the order, and he must bring the word!"
Xi Ze was very satisfied with Sixi, and finally turned his eyes to Xie Huanting, and gave an indifferent order: "Come on, drag Xie and Imperial Doctor Shao and all the palace people of the Xie family into the prison of the Criminal Department, waiting for interrogation!" (To be continued.) )
