Chapter 248: The Real Man Behind the Scenes
"This jade pendant ......" Emperor Yuchen obviously recognized the owner of the jade pendant, this jade pendant was given by himself when Concubine Qiong entered the palace, and even the word Qiong on the jade pendant was engraved by his own hands, such a jade pendant, there is only one piece in the world.
"This jade pendant was found by me on the corpse of an imperial doctor." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, and the body of the imperial doctor was found, could it be that Concubine Qiong bribed Mrs. Xu of the imperial doctor? No, didn't it mean that the queen put saffron in Mrs. Xu's fetal pills, if Concubine Qiong bribed the imperial doctor, then what did she do by killing the imperial doctor, if the imperial doctor in the palace died, she would definitely be discovered.
Ling Ruoxuan looked around and could see that everyone was puzzled, and then said slowly: "You don't have to be surprised, just listen to me explain slowly." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Emperor Yuchen said hurriedly.
Everyone was surprised, but King Qi was a look of hanging high that had nothing to do with himself, leisurely sipping tea, watching his wife's play, if there was anything on the way that needed him to make a move, it would not be too late to speak, if it was nothing serious, let her toss it casually.
"It's not strange to everyone, why Concubine Qiong knows something about pharmacology, it's because of Imperial Doctor Hu."
"It was Concubine Qiong who bought Imperial Doctor Hu, right?" Mrs. Xiu interjected.
Her burst of snatching white, was slapped by Emperor Yuchen and everyone, when did it take her turn to speak to Princess Qi A little lady interjected, saying that it was Mrs. who sounded good, to put it bluntly, she was just a lowly concubine, and even ordinary concubines had to salute when they saw Princess Qi, not to mention that she was a little lady.
What's more, there are not only the emperor and King Qi present today, Mrs. Xiu is undoubtedly unhappy for herself by doing this, if the emperor and King Qi are not to blame, it is just that, if she cares, I don't know if her life can be saved.
"No, before Concubine Qiong entered the palace, she originally had a childhood sweetheart, and after Concubine Qiong was elected to the palace, Imperial Doctor Hu became the imperial doctor who specialized in serving Concubine Qiong, which gave the two of them a chance to meet, so Imperial Doctor Hu was definitely Concubine Qiong's confidant, and he told Concubine Qiong that it was not difficult to harm Mrs. Xu's miscarriage with such an obscure method."
"You are talking nonsense, Ling Ruoyi, don't rely on the fact that you are the princess of Qi, you can arbitrarily climb the palace." Concubine Qiong forced her composure. Where did she think that Ling Ruohui even knew such a secret thing, she and Imperial Doctor Hu were childhood sweethearts, after entering the palace, although they had been favored by the emperor for a period of time, but people have no good flowers for a thousand days, which of the women in the harem can be pampered, as several ladies entered the palace, she also slowly became a resentful woman in the deep palace, at this time, Imperial Doctor Hu's care made her cold heart feel warm again.
When she knew that Mrs. Xu was pregnant, she hated it, on weekdays, Mrs. Xu relied on her own favor, she was very arrogant, if she was allowed to give birth to a child, she would not be allowed to ride on her head. So, she got her hands on it......
"Concubine Qiong, don't be angry. What the concubine said is also true, does the mother have to show evidence to the concubine, are you willing to bow your head? ”
"Evidence? Hmph, if there is, then take it out, there is no need to pretend to scare people here. Concubine Qiong said loudly. Imperial Doctor Hu was assassinated by her, and the person who replied also said that Imperial Doctor Hu was dead, and Princess Qi wanted to lie to her to tell the truth, but she must not be fooled.
"Don't worry, the evidence, before the concubine came to Xiuxin Garden, she had already asked the close maid Bingyu to bring someone to testify." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. Immediately, he also found a chair to sit down and leisurely sipped tea.
About half a pillar of incense later, Bingyu took the gold medal given to her by Ling Ruohui and took Imperial Doctor Hu to Xiuxin Garden, when Imperial Doctor Hu knelt in front of everyone, Concubine Qiong's last psychological defense line also collapsed, and the Imperial Doctor Hu in front of her, where is there still the demeanor of the past, the clothes are ragged, the cloak is scattered, and even the face is ruined.
"Weichen Hu Qingyuan, see the emperor, see King Qi." Imperial Doctor Hu knelt and kowtowed. The people present, the noble ones are the emperor and King Qi, and it is enough to greet these two people.
"Calm down, Imperial Doctor Hu, how did you do this?" Emperor Yuchen looked at Imperial Doctor Hu's appearance at this time, and he was also embarrassed in his heart. The medical skills and medical ethics of this Imperial Doctor Hu are all good, and he once assisted Princess Qi in treating corpse poison, as well as the people in the epidemic area, and his reputation in the palace is also good, I didn't expect it to be what it is today.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Imperial Doctor Hu kowtowed again. Then he slowly got up, bowed his head and stood aside.
"Concubine Qiong, do you know this person?" Ling Ruoyi pointed at Imperial Doctor Hu with one hand and looked at Concubine Qiong.
"Isn't it Imperial Doctor Hu? Just now, he had already said that he was Imperial Doctor Hu. Concubine Qiong forced her composure.
"Oh? Niangniang is really good eyesight, so you can recognize it as Imperial Doctor Hu, when the concubine first saw him like this, she didn't believe it, it can be seen that Niangniang has a great relationship with Imperial Doctor Hu. Ling Ruoyi smiled lightly.
"Princess Qi, this palace knows that you want to exonerate the queen, and you can't frame this palace in order to help the queen." Concubine Qiong said with an innocent look. She expected that Hu Qingyuan would not betray her, after all, the two were childhood sweethearts, and besides, they also had skin to skin.
"Concubine Qiong, don't worry, listen to Concubine Ben's words."
"Ruoyi, tell me everything you know." Emperor Yuchen said indignantly. Ordinary men can't stand their wives having affairs with other men, let alone the king of a country, and it's unbearable for any man to have such a thing.
"Brother Huang, don't worry. It is true that Concubine Qiong and Imperial Doctor Hu have grown up together since childhood, and it is also true that Imperial Doctor Hu took care of Concubine Qiong after entering the palace, and told Concubine Qiong that the tulips and ginseng soup can be turned into abortion medicine. It is also true that the saffron is placed in Mrs. Xu's soup and the queen is blamed. This series of things is just for the sake of living a better life. Ling Ruohui had already found out that Concubine Qiong had an affair with Imperial Doctor Hu, but she only said that the two of them were embarrassed to murder the emperor's heir, but she didn't say a word about their reluctance, not that she didn't have conclusive evidence, but in order to maintain the royal face and the dignity of the emperor, if people knew that the imperial doctor had committed adultery with the concubine and cuckolded the emperor, the entire Yunshang Kingdom would become the laughing stock of other countries, so in this matter, Ling Ruohui had no choice but to be sorry for Emperor Yuchen and hide the matter forever.
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that he is guilty, what Princess Qi said is indeed true, Concubine Qiong is worried that Mrs. Xu will climb on her head after giving birth to the prince, so she asked Weichen how to make Mrs. Xu silently aborted. And Weichen thought about his childhood feelings, so he told Concubine Qiong. Hu Qingyuan hurriedly knelt down and said. From the time Concubine Qiong sent someone to kill him, he knew that he was in a catastrophe, the bird was hidden, the rabbit was dead and the dog was cooked, he didn't expect Concubine Qiong to be so ruthless, since the other party could be ruthless to himself like this, then why should he protect this femme fatale.
"Then tell me, how the palace is the queen, and the person who testifies that the queen put saffron in Mrs. Xu's fetal pill is also the person next to the queen." Concubine Qiong argued forcefully. So far, he can only bite the queen to death for the saffron, otherwise the emperor will definitely kill himself.
"Concubine Qiong, you have been in the palace for a long time, why are you still so frizzy." Ling Ruoyi glanced at Concubine Qiong and said.
"You ......" Concubine Qiong just wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, King Qi shot a cold gaze, and Concubine Qiong couldn't help but shudder.
"Concubine Qiong, you bought Chunmei and quietly put safflower in Mrs. Xu's fetal pills, and asked Chunmei to instigate Chunlan to say that it was instructed by the queen. Is that right? ”
"Hmph, if the concubine wants to buy someone to frame the queen, she naturally chooses the original palace people in the palace, then Chunmei and Chunlan are the queen's concubines, how can the concubine buy it."
"If the close maid can buy it, then it is the best witness, but Concubine Qiong is really generous, every time the reward to Chunmei is the best jewelry, but this girl thinks too simply, thinking that it is good to ask someone to secretly take it and sell it, and then take some money to Chunlan, let Chunlan come forward to do things for herself, in case something happens, it is Chunlan who does the work, and the person behind the scenes is Concubine Qiong, I can clear up the involvement, am I right? Chunmei. Ling Ruoyi looked at Chunmei coldly.
It stands to reason that the maids who marry are generally grown up with them since they were children, and they are the closest people, but they can't imagine that this Chunmei is so ungrateful, and she also takes Chunlan who serves her master with her as a bird, and this woman's mind is really vicious.
"There are no slaves and maids, please let the emperor know." Chunmei hurriedly knelt on the ground and trembled. She didn't understand, she had been doing this very secretly, how could she let Princess Qi know. But how did she know, it's so strange.
"How could Concubine Ben wronged you, you often instigated Chunlan to help you do something to frame the queen, and you did the last witch Gu, Concubine Ben found that something was wrong with you, so she had already sent someone to spy on you in secret, even Chunlan who you harmed, she told Concubine Ben all before she died."
"Princess Qi, the slave really didn't frame the queen." Chunmei's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she said pitifully. You must know that a woman's tears are the most effective weapon, but Ling Ruohui understands very well that tears may be useful for men who love them deeply, but others are useless.
"Chunmei, you said that you didn't frame the queen, so do you dare to do experiments in the concubine's self-made polygraph instrument?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
Hearing this, Chunmei's mood at this time was very messy, Princess Qi is good at making some special weapons, this lie detector, what if she leaks her bottom line, Concubine Qiong is already at the end of the crossbow, she must grit her teeth and refuse to admit it, without evidence, Princess Qi can't make conclusions at will.
"The slave didn't do anything wrong, so she naturally dared to let Princess Qi's lie detector check." Chunmei forced her composure.
"Good, good. Mengchun, go and get the box containing the polygraph. Ling Ruoyi explained lightly.
When Mengchun heard this, he was stunned at first, what kind of lie detector, how can Miss have a lie detector, what she brought into the palace this time was just a medical box, or did Miss redo it some time ago. But the young lady said that it was a box, could it be that she was talking about the medicine box?
Immediately, Mengchun saluted respectfully, went down to get the box in response, and walked back quickly with a box......
