Chapter 52: Xiuying
Yun Qian looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, Shen Luyi was so bold that he came to harm her with poisonous wine in public!
Below, the concubines immediately boiled over and discussed.
The first person to speak out was Fu Ningyan, who was full of surprise and said: "Concubine Jing, how much do you hate the imperial concubine, you actually want her life with poisonous wine, or in front of the emperor, it's really terrifying!" ”
As soon as her words fell, Yan Ruhua immediately said: "Fortunately, the wine was spilled, if the imperial concubine drank this wine, the consequences would ...... It's unimaginable! ”
Mu Xuehan also said without lagging: "Concubine Jing, isn't your heart too vicious?" It is a big crime to want to do something to murder the imperial concubine! In your eyes, are the palace rules and female virtues all vain? The emperor is here, you dare to be so bold, is there an emperor in your eyes? ”
There was an instant echo below.
Xi Ze had a headache when he heard this, his right hand was bent into a fist, slammed it on the table in front of him, and shouted at the bottom: "Enough! Shut up! ”
Below this is silent.
Yun on the side listened to everyone's discussions, hatred was surging in his heart, and the frightened and angry Yun Tian could no longer restrain the hatred in his heart, got up and knelt down to Xi Ze, and said coldly: "Please ask the emperor to be the master of the concubine!" ”
Xi Ze looked at Yun Tian and said in a deep voice: "Yun Tian, you get up first!" ”
Yun Tian didn't get up: "If the emperor doesn't administer justice for his concubines, the concubines won't be able to kneel for a long time!" ”
When Xi Ze heard this, he was very embarrassed, so he had to say: "I must give you a reasonable explanation, today is your happy day, don't kneel, get up quickly!" ”
Only then did Yun Tian get up and sit down, looking at Shen Luyi coldly, waiting for Xi Ze's "explanation".
Xi Ze looked at Shen Luyi and asked in a deep voice, "Concubine Jing, why is the wine in your wine glass poisonous?" What the hell is going on? ”
Shen Luyi, who came back to his senses in shock, immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this poison is not from the concubine, and the concubine doesn't know why there is poison in this wine glass!" This wine was brought to the concubines by the palace people of Weiyang Palace. Please ask the emperor to strictly interrogate the palace people of Weiyang Palace! ”
Yun Tian was even more angry when he heard this: "The wine for today's dinner is arranged by the palace people of Weiyang Palace, and there is no problem with the wine that others give to this palace, only your wine has a problem, is this the palace people of Weiyang Palace doing their tricks?" Concubine Jing. Who do you want to frame! ”
Shen Luyi gritted his teeth when he heard this: "The concubine didn't want to frame anyone, she just talked about the matter, please ask the emperor to learn from it!" ”
Xi Ze looked at Shen Luyi's table and ordered, "Sixi, you go and pour the wine from the wine jug on Concubine Jing's table to the ground." See if there's anything wrong with the wine in that jug! ”
"Yes!" Sixi immediately acted as ordered, picked up the wine jug on Shen Luyi's table and poured it on the ground, the wine in the jug touched the ground as calmly as clear water touched the ground, and did not burn white foam.
Xi Ze couldn't help frowning and looked at Shen Luyi, and asked, "There is no problem with the wine in the wine jug, the palace people of Weiyang Palace have not poisoned it, Concubine Jing, how do you explain this?" ”
Shen Luyi looked at Xi Ze and said very sincerely: "The concubine really didn't poison it, I really don't know why the wine in the wine glass is poisonous!" Please ask the emperor to believe in the concubines. The concubine is innocent! ”
Xi Ze's brows frowned even tighter: "You tell the truth!" I can see that the imperial concubine is not harmed, and I will be lenient on you! ”
Seeing that Xi Ze didn't trust him, Shen Luyi immediately became anxious, looked at Wang Ningxuan for help, and said, "The concubine really didn't poison!" Queen Mother, what the concubine promised you, the concubine did not break her promise! ”
Seeing this situation, Wang Ningxuan hurriedly got up, knelt down and said: "The emperor is angry, Concubine Jing did promise her concubines that she would not hurt the imperial concubine, she has always been a person who keeps her promises. I won't break my word lightly, please let the emperor know it! ”
Xi Ze was slightly surprised when he heard this, and asked Wang Ningxuan, "Did she really promise that?" ”
Wang Ningxuan replied truthfully: "Yes! ”
Yiqiē seemed to really become strange again, Xi Ze's face was shocked, and he looked at Shen Luyi. Racing his mind and judging the situation in front of him.
was hesitating, only to see Concubine Yi suddenly bow down and report to him: "The emperor is clear, Concubine Jing is innocent!" The concubine saw it very clearly just now, and the slave who followed her suddenly stepped on Concubine Jing's robe, and Concubine Jing accidentally spilled the wine in the cup. This qiē is not accidental, she must know that there is a problem with the wine in the cup, so she made Niangniang ugly in front of everyone, please ask the emperor to strictly judge the slaves behind Niangniang, and return Niangniang's innocence! ”
Shen Luyi on her side heard this, only then did she find that Xiuying had followed, Ye Jing'an's analysis was very reasonable, Shen Luyi stared at Xiuying, endured the hatred in her heart, and asked sharply: "Xiuying, why are you stepping on the outer robe of the palace?" ”
Xiuying was so anxious that she was sweating, and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang Mingjian, the slave and maid don't know anything, the slave and maid accidentally stepped on the mother's robe!" ”
"She lied!" Ye Jing'an exclaimed, "The concubine can see very clearly, she has been walking with her head down all the time following Concubine Jing, how could she be careless?" She obviously deliberately stepped on Concubine Jing's robe, there is definitely something wrong with this slave! ”
Looking at the scene below, Xi Ze already had a judgment in his heart, and he asked in a deep voice: "Xiuying, is the poison of the wine in Concubine Jing's cup from you?" You give me a careful answer! ”
Xiuying immediately shook her head and said: "The emperor Mingjian, it's not the slave's maid, the slave doesn't know anything, the emperor spares his life!" ”
Xi Ze was even more angry: "I will ask you one last time, is it your poison?" And who instructed you to do this? If you don't tell the truth again, I'll be unkind to you! ”
Xiuying cried anxiously: "The slave and maid were not poisoned, the emperor, the slave and maid really don't know anything, beg the emperor to spare his life!" After saying that, he kowtowed violently.
Seeing this, Xi Ze unceremoniously ordered: "Come on, serve with a cane, and beat her until she tells the truth!" ”
The cane punishment was immediately and methodically executed.
Suddenly, Baochen Hall was filled with Xiuying's cries, but she had no other words to say except begging for mercy.
Suddenly, the cane punishment had just reached the eleventh cane, and Xiuying was spread on the ground like a puddle of mud, motionless.
The executing slave was very puzzled, and when he walked in, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately knelt down and reported to Xi Zeyu: "Your Majesty, she bit her tongue and committed suicide!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Xi Ze was furious, suddenly stood up, and yelled at the bottom: "Sixi, you immediately send someone to strictly investigate this Xiuying's interpersonal relationship, and be sure to find out the murderer who poisoned Concubine Jing's wine glass!" If you can't do this errand, I'll make you die a bad death!" ”
Everyone was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor is angry!" ”
Xi Ze roared angrily: "All of them are for me to step down!" ”
As a result, all the concubines except Yun Tian quickly left Weiyang Palace.
Yun Qian looked at the scene in front of him, and already had a bottom in his heart: it turned out that today's Yiqiē was actually a game against Shen Luyi! So who is spreading wild on her turf? (To be continued.) )
