Chapter 063: Morning Dew Kills Suicide
readx;? When Jinxiu's voice fell, Zhou Meiren's face suddenly changed greatly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
She watched in shock as Jinxiu walked up to the top and presented the blue and white porcelain vase to the Queen Mother, and her heart was shocked.
This bottle is not a thing of her Mingluan Hall at all, not to mention that the poison left over from the seven days has also been destroyed, how can there be such a thing? What's more, Aunt Jinxiu has no reason to harm her, so the only explanation is the morning dew.
This porcelain vase must have been put in her room by Morning Dew, and then deliberately testified in front of the Queen Mother, wanting to confirm her charge of poisoning Yun Yao.
"Queen Mother, this porcelain vase is not a thing in the palace of the concubines, please don't believe what the villain says!" After thinking about it, Zhou Meiren immediately saluted the Queen Mother and shouted that she was wronged.
"Hmph, this porcelain vase was personally searched out of your palace by Aunt Jinxiu, do you still dare to quibble?" Yang Liangren listened to Zhou Meiren's words and retorted again.
Just when Zhou Meiren was about to speak, and the two were about to quarrel again, Gonggong Zhao reported outside the palace that Imperial Doctor Li was coming.
Imperial Physician Li is the one who detoxified Gu Qingming, and he is also the person who knows the most about the Seven Days Entanglement in this Ning Palace, so it is the most suitable choice to invite him over.
With the consent of the Queen Mother, Imperial Physician Li came in from outside the palace, first saluted, and then according to the instructions of the Queen Mother, took the porcelain vase from Jinxiu's hand and opened it, and examined it carefully. In order to make sure that nothing was lost, he even poured the contents of the porcelain vase on the handkerchief he carried with him, and took out a silver needle to test it, and finally determined it.
"Empress Dowager Qi, this poison is exactly the Seven Days Entanglement, which is consistent with the poison in the Yun Shao Envoy. After the Imperial Physician Li finished checking, he told the Queen Mother.
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, and the expressions on everyone's faces were different, and it was clear what they were thinking in their hearts.
The Queen Mother sat upright, her face was gloomy, and her body exuded a kind of anger, just like when the world was first decided in the past, after the founding of Daning, she faced the concubines of the first emperor in the harem.
For so many years, no one has dared to challenge her authority so much.
The Queen Mother squinted, her gaze swept over the faces of Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren, and she saw their expressions in her eyes. She was used to seeing the ups and downs in this palace, and with just one glance, she could understand what the two were thinking.
Zhou Meiren's face was like ashes, her face was pale, her eyes were full of despair, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, obviously unwilling, but she had nothing to refute. After all, it is a fact that she instructed Xiao Xi to poison Yun Yao, even if this little porcelain vase was deliberately framed by someone, it can't change this fact, not to mention, the Queen Mother will not believe that she was wronged.
On the other hand, Yang Liangren, her face was full of ridicule and pride, it seemed that this small porcelain vase was the decisive evidence, which could completely bring down Zhou Meiren, and at this moment, she was also waiting for the Queen Mother to make the final ruling.
"Zhou Meiren, what else do you have to say?" After a long time, the Queen Mother's voice came from above, like a magic sound from hell, lingering in Zhou Meiren's ears.
"The Queen Mother, no matter what, this small porcelain vase is not an object in the palace of the concubines, and the Queen Mother is also requested to check it. In the end, Zhou Meiren still only said an ambiguous word.
Regarding the poisoning of Yun Yao, she neither admitted nor denied it, but only grabbed the flaws in the small porcelain bottle, increasing the doubts in the queen mother's heart.
"According to what you say, someone deliberately framed you in this matter?" The Queen Mother saw that Zhou Meiren was still dead and refused to admit it, so she glanced at Jinxiu and asked Jinxiu to take out the evidence that Yun Yao had found.
Jinxiu nodded, quickly took out the letter of repentance left by Xiaoxi, slowly walked down the high platform, came to Zhou Meiren's side, and said:
"Zhou Meiren, have you ever recognized this thing?"
Zhou Meiren glanced at the letter of repentance, then nodded, and said, "I'm afraid that no one in the entire harem doesn't recognize this thing." The letter of repentance left by the palace maid who hanged herself to death in Changming Palace is now almost all over the world. ”
"It's good for Zhou Meiren to recognize it. Jinxiu smiled, "Look at the beauty of the week, what else is on this confession book?"
Zhou Meiren was a little surprised, she read the book of repentance carefully, except for the words on it, and the ink mark accidentally left by Lianxin when she wrote it at that time, there was nothing else.
Seeing that Zhou Meiren didn't answer, Jinxiu looked at the Queen Mother, but saw the Queen Mother nodding at her, so she spoke again:
"Can Zhou Meiren see the ink marks on this confession book? This should be caused by the person who wrote this confession book accidentally dripped ink and then pressed the sleeves of his clothes on it. Because of this, the texture of the cuffs is clearly printed on the paper. According to the survey, this pattern is called cloud pattern, and only the palace people of the Mingluan Hall can wear it. ”
Zhou Meiren looked at the confession book in shock again, if the small porcelain vase was deliberately framed by someone, then this ink seal is ironclad evidence. With this evidence, it can be proved that Xiaoxi's death is related to Mingluan Palace, so that sooner or later it will be found out that she intended to poison Yun Yao. And that small porcelain vase is just a testament to the icing on the cake.
"Queen Mother, the matter is already obvious, Zhou Meiren bribed Xiaoxi, intending to poison and kill the young envoy Yun with seven days, and the evidence is ironclad. Seeing this, Yang Liangren said, "And the seven-day entanglement is owned by Beidi, and the same as the poison in the south by General Gu, according to what Chenlu said, this poison is often sent by Zhou Taichang to the palace to save Zhou Meiren's life, which shows that Zhou Taichang colludes with Beidi to intend to cholera chaogang!
Yang Liangren's voice fell, and a murderous intent flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, not only to Zhou Meiren, but also to Yang Liangren.
After all, the matter of Zhou Taichang's collusion with Beidi was already known by the Queen Mother earlier. Such an obvious fact, everyone just tacitly understands it, and Yang Liangren doesn't need to repeat it again, but she not only repeated, but also in front of Imperial Doctor Li and even Gonggong Zhao, which is undoubtedly erasing the majesty of the Queen Mother.
What's more, this matter is very important, and the fewer people who know, the better, but Yang Liangren said it without thinking about it, which naturally made the Queen Mother very angry.
"The mourning family knows what to do, and they don't need you to teach the mourning family. The Queen Mother said this, with a hint of anger in her tone, and then turned to Zhao Gonggong and said, "Zhao Gonggong, send Yang Meiren back to Jiuhua Palace, send someone to take care of her, don't come out casually if you have nothing to do." ”
"The minions obeyed. Father-in-law Zhao answered, then walked in front of Yang Liangren and said, "Liangren, please-"
Yang Liangren looked at the Queen Mother and wanted to say something more, but she suddenly understood the Queen Mother's intentions, which was clearly a disguised grounding for her, although she didn't explicitly say grounding, but in fact it was no different from grounding.
Because of Zhou Meiren's affairs, the Queen Mother is obviously angry now, and she can't go head-to-head with the Queen Mother, so she can only retreat. As long as Zhou Meiren is destroyed first, then she will have a chance in the future.
Thinking of this, Yang Liangren got up, and after saying "retirement" to the Queen Mother, he left Jianzhang Palace and headed towards Jiuhua Hall under the escort of Gonggong Zhao.
Imperial Physician Li was shocked to hear Yang Liangren's words, and he also knew that he had heard some terrible news, and he was horrified, so he also hurriedly said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left in a hurry, so as not to be involved in this huge conspiracy.
The hall fell silent for a while, Zhou Meiren, Lianxin, and Chenlu knelt on the ground, waiting for the final verdict of the Queen Mother.
The atmosphere was a little depressing, the air in the hall seemed to be stagnant, and it was so dull that people couldn't breathe, and if they listened closely, they seemed to be able to hear the heartbeats of several people in the hall.
The gaze in Chenlu's eyes was a little ethereal, no one knew what she was thinking, she clearly felt the first sharp gaze projected on her body, just like when she was elected to the palace, kneeling on the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, accepting the gift.
Life or death is up to fate.
"Your name is Chenlu?" Sure enough, I don't know how long it took, the Queen Mother finally took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Slave morning dew, please say hello to the queen mother. "Morning Dew bowed down, even in the face of the Queen Mother's strong coercion, it was also orderly.
Because her mind kept recalling what Yun Yao had said to her when she found her. As long as she does what Yun Yao tells her, she will be able to get everything she wants, avenge her sister, and even ...... Freedom from this sea of suffering.
"You're a clever man, but it's a pity...... The most disgusting thing in this palace is the person who betrays the master, you are the palace maid of the Mingluan Palace, but you come forward to testify against your master, even if what you do is beneficial to the mourning family, but this palace can't tolerate you. The Queen Mother said.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the slave knew that there would be such a result from the moment she made up her mind to come forward to testify against Zhou Meiren. No master in this palace was willing to accept a man like a slave or maid for fear of betrayal again. If it weren't for Yang Liangren's last words, the slave might still be alive, whether it was going to the Yeting Palace or going to the Langyue Pavilion, at least this life would have been saved. It's a pity that the slave knows something she shouldn't know, and only by dying can the queen mother feel at ease. Chenlu listened to the Queen Mother's words and replied like this.
These words won the heart of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh, why couldn't such a smart and transparent palace maid find out earlier and use it for herself. But waited until such a big thing happened, and then saw the excellence of this palace maid.
"Since you are self-aware, then there is no need for the mourning family to say more. The Queen Mother said, "Jinxiu, take people down, you know what to do." ”
"The slave obeys. Jinxiu received the order and walked towards Chenlu, but who would have thought that without taking two steps, he heard Chenlu speak again.
"No need, Aunt Jinxiu, such a humble person as a slave and maid is not worthy of Aunt Jinxiu to dirty her hands, in order to make the Queen Mother feel at ease, the slave and maid are willing to cut off on their own. After Chen Lu finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, opened the stopper, and poured it into his mouth.
After a while, Morning Dew foamed at the mouth, rolled her eyes, and fell to the ground.
Zhou Meiren couldn't help but be frightened when she saw Chenlu die by her side, her hands trembled, and she wanted to intercede for herself, but she knew that there had never been a net in this palace, not to mention that she had offended the queen mother.
For a while, Zhou Meiren's eyes were full of gloom, and the strength in her body seemed to be drained, her body was weak, and she collapsed on the ground as if she was deflated, waiting for her death to come.
