241 Comb Green Silk, Lost Love Silk (3) - Death Row Prisoner
"Come on, let's go see ......"
Xiaoyu immediately said that it was true only if she saw it with her own eyes, if the child was really dead, she would also go to see how the child died?
got off the bed, put on his coat, and didn't even have time to wash, so he hurried to Yin'er's room.
Before she got closer, she heard a miserable cry, she frowned again, lifted her skirt, and strode into the threshold, but as soon as she entered, she was stopped by Tinghe with tears on her face, "The little prince died tragically, what are you doing here?"
A little servant dares to be so rude, but she Qin Xiaoyu is also a concubine, although the emperor has lost his memory and is no longer fond of her, but so many people are watching and listening, Xiaoyu's face is horizontal, and he said lightly, "You dare to stop the palace from the door even a servant, is it your master who gave you this courage?"
This sentence insinuates that he is accusing something, such as Chu Changge's teachings.
Sure enough, being so provoked by Qin Xiaoyu, the queen mother, who had always been arrogant, was now crying so much, and a dumb voice came from the side of Yin'er's bed, "Listen to the lotus, let her in." ”
Hearing He's hateful glaring at Qin Xiaoyu's master and servant, she obeyed the order and silently retreated to Chu Changge's side, she comforted softly, "Niangniang, don't be sad, when the emperor comes, he will definitely make the decision for you and the little prince, and the murderer who poisoned and murdered the little prince will definitely be arrested." ”
Tinghe is an extremely powerful servant, and when he said this, his eyes glanced at Qin Xiaoyu.
It was obvious that they suspected that she had done such a wicked thing.
Haitang was not convinced when she heard it, so she fought back, Xiaoyu gave her a look and asked her to stop talking immediately, at this critical juncture, it is useless to do more verbal battles, the most important thing is to find out the truth about Yin'er's death.
Xiaoyu Tibu held his breath and slowly approached, the child lying on the bed was covered by the quilt well, but his face was bruised, according to her visual inspection, the cause of the child's death was only afraid that he was highly poisoned, although this is Chu Changge's child, she doesn't like it very much, but after all, he is still a hairy baby, born pink and clever, and I saw him alive and kicking during the day yesterday, why did it disappear overnight?
Xiao Yu frowned, and sighed in his heart, this child is really gone, this spearhead is only pointed at himself, the person on this boat, who has the biggest dislike with this child, is naturally her. Not long ago, this child was slapped by his father for hitting her in the stomach, and if this child died, of course, she would benefit the most. As Begonia said, if she is born a male baby, she may be able to inherit the unification in the future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in her palms, and when she was thinking about it, there was a sound of hurried steps outside the house, Xiao Yu turned her face slightly to see, the person was sitting in a wheelchair because of inconvenience, and was pushed in by Qi Wei, on the left was Wang Zhongren and Princess Linlang, on the right was Yan Wang and his wife, and Xiao Anzi and Bai Shao They also came.
Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, these people must have regarded her as a murderer.
But it's just a child, even if she wants to kill someone, she will kill Chu Changge, how can she bear to do it with a little hairy child, and when she returns to the shore, she is a person who wants to run away, why should she dirty her hands?
Bai Shaoyu and Princess Yan both cast worried eyes, but Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and bitterly, and the more she smiled, the paler she became.
Murong Yan was pushed in, everyone in the house automatically got out of the way, Xiaoyu also retreated to the side, Chu Changge knelt and turned back, her face was full of tears, she turned around and threw herself into the emperor's arms, because she cried too hard, the voice in her mouth was intermittent, "Your Majesty...... Emperor...... You must seek justice for Yin'er. ”
Murong Yan twisted his eyebrows and gently helped her up, "Changge, I will definitely seek justice for Yin'er." ”
His voice was gentle, but with a ruthlessness, as if he found the murderer, he would dismantle the murderer.
Xiao Yu's heart couldn't help but tremble, and then Bai Shaoyu stood up and said that he also suffered serious internal injuries from dealing with the mackerel, and he was in a coma for two days before he woke up, but when he woke up this morning, he heard the news, and hurried over to take a look, not for the dead little prince, but for Xiao Yu, this case is only afraid that Xiao Yu will also be implicated, although he believes that Xiao Yu will not be so cruel, and he will not let go of even a child, and now that she is pregnant with a child, how could she commit murder to increase the child's sin?
Bai Shaoyao's face was very pale, but his appearance was extraordinary, and he was still long and jade, he said, "Queen Niangniang, aren't you the number one autopsy master in the world, even the strange murder case of Concubine Lan, you can find clues, and finally help the emperor catch the murderer." Yin'er's case, it shouldn't be difficult for you. ”
Chu Changge narrowed his eyes, and saw the famous General Bai clearly from his tears, Haitang handed over the handkerchief appropriately, she wiped away her tears, and then said in a low voice: "Yes, how can this palace not do her best as Yin'er's mother?" I have already tested Yin'er, he was fine during the day yesterday, but as soon as he came over, Haitang found that Yin'er's face was purple and her lips were purple, and her body was cold. explained that the time of death was last night, judging from his black and purple face, it must not be difficult for everyone to guess that Yin'er died of poisoning. I've used a silver hairpin to measure this bowl of lotus seed soup on the bedside table, so please take a look. ”
Everyone looked at the bowl of lotus seed soup on the small cabinet with half a bowl left, Chu Changge got closer, and took out the silver hairpin by the way, indeed as she said, the silver hairpin immersed in the lotus seed soup has turned black.
So in this way, Yin'er really died of poisoning, and the gangster put the poison in the bowl of lotus seed soup for Yin'er to eat.
"Last night the little prince was hungry, so the slave went to the kitchen to make a bowl of lotus seed soup for the little prince. Tinghe wiped his tears, knelt beside Chu Changge and muttered in a sob.
Everyone knows that after coming out, there will be no trivial rules in the palace, and most of the people on this boat are the emperor's cronies, who will harm the little prince?
"How can I blame you? Someone wants to harm my son, even if he doesn't poison it, there are other ways, can he prevent it for a while, can he prevent it for a lifetime?"
Chu Changge is really a good master with a good heart, and he didn't even blame the slave and maid for making such a big mistake.
The emperor frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Then have you seen any suspicious people in the kitchen?"
Tinghe pretended to think about it for a while before saying, "At that time, only Xiao Anzi was there to decoct the emperor and Concubine Xian, although Xiao Anzi had a good relationship with Concubine Xian, but the slave maid thought...... Xiao Anzi wouldn't do such a thing, poisoning the prince, but he lost his head. ”
Listening to He's seemingly casual few words, it suddenly made Xiao Anzi the target of everyone.
Everyone shifted their attention to Xiao Anzi, the eunuch is now a thousand-year-old master, many people know that Qin Xiaoyu is the previous nine thousand years old, and Xiao Anzi is her subordinate, it is obvious that he did such a thing, maybe to serve the former master.
Xiao Anzi knelt down and stammered nervously, "I'm ...... I...... I haven't done it, and I ask the emperor and queen to see it. ”
Xiaoyu is not stupid, so he naturally understands the intention of listening to the lotus.
She frowned, she couldn't watch Xiao Anzi become the object of suspicion, she pursed her lips, stood in place, and said, "This is unfounded, how can it be said that Xiao Anzi made it? There are still many people who have come into contact with this bowl of lotus seed soup, isn't it? Isn't it just Tinghe, and from the kitchen here, has anyone ever been to Yin'er's room? Tinghe, please remember it well." ”
As soon as he heard Xiao Yu say this, he shouted that he was wronged, and he met Xiao Anzi alone in the kitchen, if Xiao Anzi took advantage of her not paying attention, it was also possible to poison her, and she and Chu Changge had been in Yin'er's room, and it was impossible for them to poison Yin'er.
Of course, Tinghe also explained all the intermediate processes of making lotus seed soup for Yin'er and then serving Yin'er, and explained it honestly and in detail, except for Xiao Anzi and the queen, I haven't seen anyone in the middle.
Everyone thinks again, the queen is Yin'er's biological mother, of course she won't harm her own children, and besides, the only heir of the emperor when Yin'er was a child may be the prince in the future.
This suspect fell on Xiao Anzi and Tinghe, if anyone is more likely to kill, it is still Xiao Anzi.
Begonia has also been serving by the queen's side for a long time, and she is already a female official in the Jiaofang Palace, and she has been reused by the queen, so what is there to be dissatisfied?
Murong Yan's cold eyes stared at Chu Changge, and his gaze fell on Xiao Yu again, Xiao Yu's hand tightened, did he believe her?
Also, now that he has amnesia, how can he believe her? Naturally, he is biased towards Chu Changge's side, although Xiao Anzi drank half of the boiled shark beads for him last night, but she is not sure if he can remember some things about them.
"Hmph...... Yesterday, when the palace went to the kitchen to make plum blossom cakes for the emperor, I saw you sneakily coming out of the kitchen, and you also broke up the kitchen maids. ”
Her words really made Xiaoyu speechless.
Everyone recognized one thing again, it turned out that Concubine Xian had gone to the kitchen to talk to Xiao Anzi about some unsightly things, so these two people were even more suspicious.
It seems that the truth has gradually surfaced, Qi Wei's eyes darkened, and he guessed in his heart that Xiao Yu went to find Xiao Anzi for the sake of the mermaid beads, right?
But Xiao Anzi promised Xiao Yu not to say this.
"What are you doing in the kitchen?" Murong Yan asked in person, his eyes were narrow, and he grabbed Xiao Yu tightly, making Xiao Yu feel cold, if she said that she gave him half of the mermaid beads, would he believe it?
Xiao Yu knew it in his heart, of course, he couldn't say it.
She gritted her teeth tightly, but she refused to speak, Murong Yan smiled coldly, and Qin Xiaoyu, who had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, was speechless?
Xiao Anzi wanted to open his mouth many times, but when he saw Xiao Yu's eyes, he still swallowed everything he was about to say into his stomach, he understood that he couldn't say it.
At this time, Chu Changge sniffed again, as if he had smelled some special smell in the air......
She frowned and waved her hand under her nose, looking for the source of the strange smell, of course, the little fish also smelled it, it was a smell of wine, and it was very fragrant.
Xiao Yu shook suddenly, the smell of wine came from Yin'er, Chu Changge's face also approached Yin'er, it did smell of wine, and it was very strong, she stood up angrily, and looked at Xiao Yu angrily, "Concubine Xian, you still don't admit it." It is impossible for Yin'er to drink alcohol at a young age, which must be the traces left after the onset of toxicity. There is only one kind of poison in the world that can make the corpse smell of alcohol after death, and that is the 100-day drunkenness. If I'm not mistaken, this poison came from your hometown of Yunshui, right?"
Xiao Yu's face also changed greatly, Chu Changge said well, her hometown does have this kind of poison, taking this poison, it is like drinking wine, faint, and the smell of wine will be emitted from her body, which is called a hundred days of drunkenness.
Not only Xiaoyu, but also Princess Yan and Bai Shaoyu were all surprised, they were also from Yunshui Town, and naturally they had heard of this strange poison in Yunshui Town.
Even Princess Yan, who is the second sister of Xiaoyu, has a little shaken in her heart, could it be that Xiaoyu did it?
Although she didn't want to believe it, all kinds of evidence pointed to Xiaoyu, which was very unfavorable to Xiaoyu.
Princess Yan's body trembled slightly, looked at the emperor earnestly and said, "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace to make a decision on this matter." After all, Concubine Xian is still pregnant. ”
She deliberately mentioned it and said that Xiaoyu was pregnant with a dragon seed, maybe the emperor had mercy in his heart, and for the sake of that child, spare Xiaoyu.
King Yan also came out to speak, supporting Xiaoyu, "Brother Huang, for the sake of the child in the womb of Concubine Xian." ”
Bai Shao squeezed his fist hard, and at this time everything looked pale, Xiao Yu smiled, but she didn't see a trace of fear in her eyes, she looked at the emperor with a gentle smile, "Sister, you really know about the poison produced in my hometown, this is really beyond my expectations!"
"You still dare to quibble! Come on, arrest Xiao Anzi and Concubine Xian Niangniang to this palace!"
Chu Changge hissed angrily, and some of the attendants got up one after another and held Xiao Anzi down, but just as he was about to make a move on Xiao Yu, Murong Yan swept over with a cold look, as if to say, here, is it your queen or my emperor? Chu Changge bit his lip in embarrassment, at this time, under all kinds of evidence, this person still wants to defend Qin Xiaoyu?
She really hated it, she lost her son, and tears rolled out of her eyes silently, which shows how resentful and helpless she is at this moment.
Those attendants naturally stopped, not daring to be disrespectful to Xiaoyu.
"Tell me, did you do it?"
He just stared at her and asked her seriously, but to the others, it didn't seem to make any sense, who would admit that he was a murderer?
There was a small wooden comb hidden in the sleeve, Xiaoyu held it tightly, and the comb teeth were buckled into the flesh of Xiaoyu's palm, it hurt a lot, she was framed and wronged like this, it hurt even more, she pretended not to care, but smiled lightly, "If I say no, the emperor, you can trust me?"
She has finished answering, she can no longer reverse the situation at this moment, she can only let this man give orders, kill or stay, only in his thoughts, this person is the king of the world, isn't it?
Just a moment of waiting, as if waiting for a lifetime, his lips fluttered, and his tone was indifferent and cold without a trace of temperature, "Hold Concubine Xian and Chitose Ye and others in custody, and wait for them to fall!"
In this battle, it was finally Chu Changge's victory again.
Chu Changge's eyes dragged out a trace of a triumphant smile, and Xiaoyu and the others were also stubborn, and they were taken down in the sympathetic eyes of everyone without crying or making trouble.
Linlang couldn't help but sigh too, obviously a thorn in her eye was removed, she still deserved it, but she somehow couldn't be happy.
Not to mention the others, they still have some friendship with Xiaoyu, they are all overshadowed, this time it is the little prince who has an accident, it is extraordinary, I am afraid that Xiaoyu will not be able to escape this time.
Xiao Yu was scolding in her heart, damn Murong Yan, she really didn't believe her?
In this way, the master and servant were escorted into the firewood room, the door was closed, almost all the light disappeared, it was dark and damp, there were bundles of firewood piled up in the corner, and there was no window, which made people feel tightness in the chest and shortness of breath.
Never thought that the man who doted on her would treat her like this?
Xiao Anzi squatted down and cried, "Xiaoyu, this time it's really over...... We're really going to die on this ship this time. It's better for us to tell the emperor, you came here yesterday for the emperor. ”
Xiao Yu hugged Xiao Anzi and teased him, "You are stupid, those half bowls of mermaid beads can't make the emperor remember me again, even if we tell him, he won't believe us." Don't cry, save a little physical strength, General Bai and King Yan will definitely save us out. ”
In fact, this is just to coax Xiao Anzi, to be honest, she doesn't want King Yan and Bai Shao to save her in her heart, she is now trapped in the firewood house, she doesn't want to involve those innocent people anymore, if there is really anything that can't be put down, that is the child in her womb, her child has not yet been born, how can she turn into a blood with her?
In the dark, she touched the pyre, turned down some dry straw and spread it on the damp and cold ground, although she stayed here, she could not treat herself lightly, she had always been a person who cherished herself, and besides herself, she had a little thing to love.
Xiao Anzi's crying gradually stopped, "Xiao Yu, you are right, General Bai and they will definitely not leave us." We'll get out. ”
"yes. Xiao Yu said this without a bottom.
immediately pulled Xiao Anzi to sit down, and Xiao Anzi began to complain, "Hey...... I knew I would be locked up in the firewood room this morning, I should have dressed more, and I should have eaten more breakfast, but now I am really cold and hungry......"
Xiaoyu squeaked and laughed, "You're still quite wise, and you have breakfast." I didn't even have time to wash up, and I wouldn't have come to Yin'er's room if I knew this was the case. ”
"Aren't you worse than me?"
"Let's hold each other tighter and keep each other warm. I hope that the emperor will be merciful, and for the sake of the child in my womb, someone can bring us something to eat. ”
Hope is good, but the truth is cruel.
Xiao Anzi was still half a master in the end, so he took off his coat and covered Xiao Yu, while the two fell asleep in hunger and cold.
I don't know how long it took, Xu is dark, in fact, for Xiaoyu and them, the sky has always been dark, this firewood room is terrifyingly dark, occasionally there are a few "squeaks" of mice, which relieves some depression, Xiaoyu cursed that person in his heart, damn Murong Xian, it's all this point, and he didn't give her food, he really wanted to starve to death the one in her stomach?
If she continues to be hungry like this, she might catch two rats to eat.
But what she didn't know was that just this morning, after the two of them were locked in, a carrier pigeon flew from outside and landed on the edge of the window, and Murong Yan stared at the pigeon, which was cooing and a small bamboo tube tied to its tiny legs.
Could it be a letter from the palace?
Murong Yan guessed in his heart and ordered Wang Zhongren to take down the small bamboo tube, and Wang Zhongren obeyed the order and took down the rolled small note from the small bamboo tube.
Unfolded, the small font jumped into his eyes line by line, and suddenly, Murong Yan pinched the note, his hands trembled uncontrollably because of grief and indignation, this letter was sent by Prince Qing, it said that Qin Xiaoyu's mother was a palace maid by the Queen Mother's side, and she knew medical skills very well, and the chronic poison that killed Concubine Shen was from Qin Xiaoyu's mother.
Therefore, this is the reason why Qin Xiaoyu's mother Ruan Shushui did not agree with her marrying him, not because of the identity of the emperor, but because of Qin Xiaoyu's true identity, her mother was the murderer who indirectly killed his mother and concubine, and they had a common hatred!
It hurt in his heart, and it was so painful that it was hard to breathe, and a mouthful of blood suddenly vomited out, staining the note in his hand red.
Wang Zhongren hurriedly snorted, and immediately stepped forward to support the emperor, the emperor ordered him to burn the note in his hand, Wang Zhongren said "yes", and threw the note into the candle flame, the small note was dyed red, but he also vaguely saw Ruan Shushui and Concubine Shen, Ruan Shushui is Xia Yuanxing's third lady, that is, Xiaoyu's mother, this matter must involve the two mothers.
What was it that made the emperor so uncomfortable and painful, that he vomited out a mouthful of blood?
"Your Majesty, you wait, the old slave will go to pass on the imperial doctor. ”
"That's it, the doctor can't heal me. ”
He said lightly, there was a lingering wound in his eyebrows, and he took out the brocade handkerchief in his arms, which was embroidered with bright red and clear plum blossoms, and it was her mother's favorite flower, but her mother actually died of the poison made by Ruan Shuao?
How can people accept such facts?
Perhaps, Taiziqing already knew this, and now he said that it was just to hit him.
After the morning, the news that the emperor was seriously ill made the people on the ship panic, and because the emperor was seriously ill, he could not return to the palace for the time being, and had to recuperate on the ship for a few days.
It wasn't until late at night that Haitang carried a rice basket to the firewood room, and she bought off the guards guarding the door, in fact, this is not something she can do alone, and thanks to General Qi, these people are Qi Wei's subordinates.
The door of the firewood room creaked open, and the light came in from the outside, like the light of hope, Begonia sneaked in, and put a lot of food in the basket in her hand, Xiaoyu heard the movement, opened her eyes, and looked out of the door, it was a familiar figure, she smiled slightly, fortunately, the emperor also took care of the child in her womb, otherwise she would have been hungry and crazy.
"Begonia, you're here, otherwise I'll really have to eat rats and cockroaches. ”
"Shhhh Haitang made a silent gesture towards Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu frowned, and heard Haitang whisper, "Master, master...... You don't know, the emperor won't let you send you food. Thanks to General Qi's help, otherwise these would not have been able to be sent in. Quietly, I'll put these things down, and I'll have to get out. If you boil it up a little longer, General Bai and General Qi will think of ways to save you. ”
Xiaoyu's chapped lips due to lack of water looked even whiter in the dim light, and a delicate little face was also a lot haggard, she smiled reluctantly, and took the steamed buns handed by Begonia, as well as water, pinching the semi-cool steamed buns, but her heart was extremely bitter.
That man is really ruthless, doesn't he know what blood is thicker than water and tiger poison does not eat children, he should always think about the children in his womb, not to mention that they are still innocent.
Xiao Anzi also woke up, and while eating the steamed buns, he spoke, and the steamed buns splashed wildly, "I have never thought the steamed buns are so delicious, just like when I was a child and my father were begging, a kind person threw us half a steamed bun, it was so delicious......"
He ate too fast, choked, coughed constantly, and Haitang handed him the water, "You eat slowly, there are still a lot of them, there is nothing to bring in the kitchen, I want to send you some steamed buns, you can eat a few more meals, I am afraid that the emperor will find out, and I can't even send steamed buns to you." ”
Haitang said, and cried quietly, the master has always been clothed and fed in the palace, how could he have lived so hard?
She sobbed a few times, looked at Xiaoyu again, and saw her staring at the steamed bun in a daze, so she said: "Master, I know that you are uncomfortable, but people are iron and rice are steel, and you can eat some well after all, and when we go out in the future, we will make up for it." ”
"Hmm. Xiao Yugan nodded with a smile, took a bite of the dry and hard steamed bun, and there was no taste at all, and then a woman's sharp voice came from outside, "What a bold man, without the emperor's orders, he dared to send food to a death row prisoner without permission?"
...
...
