Chapter 102: The Biggest Winner
Imperial Physician Ye was also listening to Yun Yao's words, he was not afraid that Yun Yao would do something to frame him, after all, he had already taken refuge in Lu Yingquan, and he had also helped Lu Yingquan a lot these days.
Thinking of this, his heart was a little more stable, and he was silent, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
"Wushuang, go check. After listening to Yun Yao's words, the Queen Mother immediately ordered, "The accident before and after is just a moment, and all the people and things should still be in the inner hall, and they can't escape." ”
"The slave obeys. When Wushuang heard this, he immediately agreed, and then sent someone to call several other imperial doctors over, and led people into the inner hall to start checking.
The poison of Heding Red is very ferocious, and a drop into the throat can kill you, so the bowl of medicine sent by Imperial Doctor Ye, Mrs. Han didn't finish it, and she had already lost her breath. After the examination of the imperial doctor, there was no Heding red in the bowl of medicine, which means that Mrs. Han was poisoned, not because she drank this bowl of medicine.
Wushuang carefully recalled the whole process according to what Yun Yao and Honglian said, the medicine was personally sent by Imperial Physician Ye, and a mother-in-law took the bowl and handed it to Yun Yao, and then Yun Yao fed Mrs. Han to take it.
Since Hedinghong is not in the medicine bowl, it must be in the process of feeding the medicine, and in this process, only Yun Yao and Honglian have been by Mrs. Han's side. Honglian helped Mrs. Han, and Yun Yao fed the medicine.
Therefore, excluding all distractions, the biggest possibility is that Honglian and Yun Yao are the only ones who have a chance to start.
Aunt Wushuang presented the final result to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Jiang looked at the kneeling people in the hall and asked coldly: "Let's talk about it, which of you did it, admit it yourself, and avoid suffering from flesh and skin." ”
"Mother, things can't be so arbitrary that one of the two of them did it. Shen Che spoke at the right time, "Yun Yao was temporarily invited in, she didn't know in advance that she would go to help deliver Mrs. Han, how could she hide poison on her body? ”
"What does Che'er mean is that Mrs. Han's poisoning was done by Honglian? But Honglian is Madame Han's personal palace maid, and she followed Madame Han from the Han family, so how could she betray the old master?"
The Queen Mother's words clearly meant something, and every word pointed to Yun Yao.
Yun Yao kept her head down, not knowing what she was thinking. On the side, Lu Yingquan looked at Jiang Yi opposite, but saw that Jiang Yi looked calm, did not gloat, did not feel incredible, and was calm as if everything was none of his business.
And the more this is the case, the more suspicious it is, Lu Yingquan knows that Mrs. Han's death is likely to be related to Jiang Yi, but there is no conclusive evidence now. What's more, although Honglian is Mrs. Han's personal maidservant, it is not impossible to betray the old master.
"Queen Mother, Your Highness, the slave maid definitely did not plot to kill Mrs. Han. The slave and maid have been serving by the side of the lady since childhood, and the lady treats the slave and the maid like sisters, how can the slave and the maid be that kind of treacherous person?" Honglian saw that someone doubted herself, so she immediately spoke, "Now that the lady has gone, there is no point in the slave and maid living in this world, and it will be suspected, the slave and the maid are willing to die to prove their innocence, and they can also continue to serve the lady under the nine springs!"
As soon as the words fell, Honglian pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and inserted it directly into her neck. In an instant, blood flowed everywhere, and the red lotus fell in the hall and followed Mrs. Han away.
This scene came unexpectedly, no one thought that such a thing would happen, and no one could have predicted seeing Honglian die in front of everyone.
And Honglian's death undoubtedly put all the blame for Mrs. Han's death on Yun Yao's body. After all, no one will ever blame a person who actively begged for death.
"Come on, carry the red lotus down. Wushuang was afraid that Honglian's death would disturb the Queen Mother, so he immediately sent someone to carry the body away.
For a while, everyone's eyes in the hall were on Yun Yao's body. Yun Yao took a deep breath and said unhurriedly: "Queen Mother, Mrs. Han's death has nothing to do with the slave. It is a fact that the slave maid has just gotten closest to Mrs. Han, but because of this, if the slave and maid really want to kill Mrs. Han, there are many ways to do it without knowing it, there is no need to use the poison of Heding Red, and please ask the Queen Mother to see it. ”
"Queen Mother, today should be a festive day, but because of this incident, the entire Yiwang Palace has become smoky. Shen Che opened his mouth and said, "According to Erchen, this matter might as well be left at that, it should be regarded as Mrs. Han's death in childbirth, and Honglian loyally followed the lord and died together." This can also be regarded as accumulating virtue for newborn children. ”
The Queen Mother glanced at Shen Che, and then looked at Yun Yao deeply, thinking that it really made sense, so she nodded and did what Shen Che said.
So this matter was over, and Yun Yao was spared a catastrophe.
"Although Mrs. Han's matter is no longer investigated, there is another problem now. Empress Dowager Jiang said, "The child can't live without a mother, since Mrs. Han is dead, then give the child to Mrs. Jiang to raise." This is the first imperial grandson of our Yiguo, and Madame Jiang must treat him as her own, understand?"
"The concubine will follow the decree of the Queen Mother, and she will take good care of the little prince and will not let him suffer the slightest grievance. Jiang Yi got up happily and immediately took over the errand.
And Yun Yao looked at Jiang Yi's expression and seemed to notice something. She found that the joy in Mrs. Jiang's eyes did not reach the bottom of her eyes, as if she had known that there would be such a scene, and she did not feel strange.
In an instant, Yun Yao suddenly brightened.
It was getting dark, and the Queen Mother sat here all afternoon, feeling a little tired. She may not have expected that Mrs. Han would be able to cause so many incidents when she gave birth. But fortunately, these matters have been resolved, and she ordered everyone to disperse, hand over the aftermath to Wushuang, and go to rest herself.
Lu Yingquan said goodbye to the Queen Mother and took Yun Yao back to Linglong Pavilion, but he felt that there was no danger.
"No wonder I've been restless today, it turns out that something is really going to happen. Lu Yingquan looked apprehensive and said, "Yun Yao, fortunately, His Royal Highness persuaded the Queen Mother not to pursue it, otherwise I really don't know how to escape this catastrophe." ”
"yes, I'm glad too. Yun Yao nodded, "Things have developed to this point, and it is clear that Mrs. Jiang arranged it." Mrs. Han is dead, with one less serious competitor, and even the children are raised by her, and she is the biggest winner in this game. ”
"It's really her!" Lu Yingquan heard Yun Yao say the same, and finally confirmed the suspicion in his heart, "But how did she poison Mrs. Han?"
Yun Yao carefully combed through the previous picture again before she spoke: "When Mrs. Han was poisoned, there were only me and Red Lotus by her side, since it was not me, it must be Red Lotus." I remembered that when I was feeding Mrs. Han medicine before, Honglian had been wiping the medicine stains on the corner of Mrs. Han's mouth with a handkerchief, and speaking of which, she had a better chance of doing it than me. ”
"Forget it, it's over, and we don't have to think about it that much. Lu Yingquan said, "Anyway, from now on, we have to be careful to watch out for that Madame Jiang, lest she have any tricks against us." ”
"Let's go back and rest, I just came back from the barren mountain, and I didn't have time to rest before such a big thing happened. Yun Yao felt a little tired and said, "I just want to sleep well now, drive away the fatigue of the past few days, and then deal with the future seriously." ”
"What will happen in the future?" Lu Yingquan was a little surprised, she had only known some of Yun Yao's thoughts, but she couldn't understand Yun Yao's entire chess game.
Maybe she is more beautiful than Yun Yao, and she used to be the daughter of a pawn, Miss Qianjin, and her attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are quite high, but in terms of calculating people's hearts and understanding the world, she is not as thorough as Yun Yao.
"Ning Palace's side still needs to deal with it, it's been a while since the last message, it's time to deliver new news. Yun Yao said, and the two of them had already returned to Linglong Pavilion.
Yun Yao took out a pen and paper, and then took out a special ink, imitating He Meiren's handwriting to write a letter to the Empress Dowager Qin-
The rebirth of Yiwang Palace, Yiwang's wife Han gave birth to a child and died, and her son was handed over to Mrs. Jiang to raise. Mrs. Jiang is the niece of the Empress Dowager Jiang, and her status in the Yi Palace is respected, and she is quite favored by the Yi King, and she has a faint tendency to be sealed.
"Do you want to divert Empress Dowager Qin's attention to Jiang Yi?" Lu Yingquan read the content of this secret letter, and quickly understood Yun Yao's intentions, "In this way, it doesn't matter if I am favored or not, Empress Dowager Qin will let He Meiren start with Jiang Yi." ”
"That's right, that's exactly what I meant. Yun Yao nodded, and added a few words to the back of the secret letter, "Lu Yingquan has recovered from his serious injuries, but he can move around, and Mrs. Han's death is suspected of being related to her, which makes Empress Dowager Jiang dislike." ”
This half-truth and half-false secret letter was enough to confuse the Empress Dowager Qin. After all, this secret letter is true on the surface, Jiang Yi's identity and status, as well as Empress Dowager Jiang's partiality towards Jiang Yi, and the current situation, no matter how Empress Dowager Qin inquires, she can't find any flaws.
But only Jiang Yi herself knows that her so-called favor is just based on the fact that the Queen Mother is her aunt. In terms of favor, she is really not as good as Lu Yingquan's finger. But how could she admit such a thing? She absolutely didn't want others to know that she was just an empty shell in Yiwang Palace.
After a while, the ink on the secret letter dried and the handwriting disappeared, Yun Yao called Ah Chen out and asked him to quietly leave the palace with the secret letter and send the letter out outside the palace. In this way, it is possible to avoid the pigeon being intercepted within the confines of the Yi Wang Palace, so that others may know the contents of the secret letter.
Originally, Yun Yao didn't have so many scruples, but now, Mrs. Han is dead, and only Lu Yingquan and Jiang Yi are left in the entire Yiwang Palace, competing for the position of queen, Jiang Yi is bound to win. Therefore, Jiang Yi will definitely spend a lot of time monitoring Linglong Pavilion, wanting to find Lu Yingquan's flaws and take the opportunity to eliminate her in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Yun Yao couldn't give Jiang Yi any chance.
