When Mengchun walked in front of everyone with a wooden box, everyone didn't think there was anything special about this box, could this be the lie detector that Princess Qi said?

"Ruoyi, is this a lie detector?" Emperor Yuchen wondered. Isn't it just an ordinary wooden box, and it can also be a lie detector? However, Princess Qi can indeed design and manufacture some special weapons, and as for this lie detector, it is probably her latest secret weapon.

"Yes, Brother Huang, this lie detector is to be connected to my special silver needles, insert these silver needles on the head, and then, put your hand into it, if the answer is the truth, then naturally it will be fine, if you don't tell the truth, after your hand reaches into the box, the silver needle on your head will pierce an inch into the other party's head."

"Oh? It's amazing, well, let them lie detectors. Emperor Yuchen said excitedly. Although he has not been on the throne for a long time, he has never seen such a strange thing, if there is really such a thing, it can be used to test the minister, and those who tell lies are demoted.

"Yes, I'll prepare it first, and I'll do it later, as long as the emperor wants whoever you want to test first." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. The purpose of this is actually to let the other party do what they want.

After a while, Ling Ruoyi walked out with the box in her hand again, and then slowly spoke, "Chunmei, didn't you say that you didn't turn your back on the queen and unite with Concubine Qiong to frame the queen?" ”

"Yes, the slave did not turn her back on the queen, let alone unite with Concubine Qiong to frame the queen." Chun Mei Lang said.

"Okay, good, do you dare to put your hand in the box?"

"Of course I dare, but if no one else puts their hands in the box to test, the slave is worried that the princess will deliberately frame the slave."

"Okay, for the sake of fairness, then let a few of the maids of the mother's palace, including the maids of the concubine, participate in the test, so that you are satisfied?"

"Slave and maid, thank you, Princess." After finishing speaking, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Chunmei's mouth, but it still did not escape Ling Ruoyi's eyes.

The first to be tested was Shen Baolin's maidservant, Shen Baolin's maiden family has long since declined, since entering the palace, it has been Baolin, and she has not been sealed for five years, and she is not favored by the emperor, she is also happy to be idle, and it is this self-satisfaction that she can survive to this day.

"Pin'er, go and do what Princess Qi instructs." Shen Baolin said lightly. These harmful tricks have nothing to do with her anyway, and letting her maidservants participate in them is nothing more than going through the motions, and cooperating with Princess Qi's test is also a disguised flattery, perhaps, this practice will attract the attention of the emperor.

The women in this palace are sometimes really pitiful, in order to compete for the emperor's favor, it can be said that the eight immortals have crossed the sea to show their magical powers, today's sisters, stabbing knives in the back are not uncommon, if you can hug the big tree of Princess Qi, it is also a good thing.

According to Ling Ruoyi's words, Pin'er put her hand into the wooden box, and then Ling Ruoyi said lightly: "Pin'er, did you participate in framing the queen's mother?" ”

Hearing this, Pin'er hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave didn't frame the queen's mother, and asked the princess to know it." ”

"Pin'er, you just need to put your hand in the wooden box and say loudly that you didn't frame the queen, if what you said is true, then you won't be pricked by needles, otherwise, you will be pierced into the brain by the needles on your head and die of pain."

Immediately, Pin'er knelt up straight, put her hand into the wooden box, and said loudly: "Slave, Pin'er, there is absolutely no murder of the queen." ”

"Well, okay, Pin'er, this concubine believes in you, you get up." After finishing speaking, Ling Ruoyi took Pin'er's head. The silver needle was removed, and then the second and third, until after testing nine people, the tenth was Chunmei. The first few people in front of them are just trying to do enough tricks, and what they want is for Chunmei to confess.

"Chunmei, I've tested nine people before, and now it's your turn, how about it? Do you need anyone else to experiment? Ling Ruoyi raised her eyebrows and said.

"Thank you Princess Qi, the slave is willing to test." Chunmei said lightly. She is not a fool, the person who tested her before was either the servant girl of the low-status Baolin, or the maid next to Princess Qi, of course what she said was true, they definitely did not participate in the framing of the queen, so naturally nothing would happen. But she did participate in the matter, and for the sake of the ......, yes, as long as she didn't put her hand in the box and didn't touch the bottom, wouldn't it?

The little abacus in Chunmei's heart, how could she escape Ling Ruoyi's eyes, what she wanted was Chunmei's careful thinking, so that she could confess.

"Okay, since you're willing to test, let's hurry up, Concubine Ben doesn't have so much spare time to spend with you." Immediately, Chunmei put her hand into the wooden box, and after a while, she took her hand out.

Seeing this, Emperor Yuchen said: "Ruoyi, I didn't tell a lie after seeing this Chunmei." ”

"No, she's a traitor." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.

"Princess, the slave maid was not stabbed in the brain with a silver needle as you said, why do you have to wronged the slave maid." Chunmei said with tears in her eyes. It was as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Hehe, Chunmei, it seems that you want to bite this matter to death, it's okay, I'll convince you." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile. Then he turned to the crowd and said, "Okay, all the people who participated in the test just now should stretch out their hands." ”

Hearing this, everyone stretched out their hands one after another, including Chunmei, of course, there was nothing unusual in everyone's hands, which strengthened Chunmei's belief, as long as she didn't admit it, and Princess Qi had no evidence, she would be fine. But before she could think about it, she saw Ling Ruoxuan's long sleeves wave, and some lilac medicine powder was sprinkled on the hands of several people, and at this time, their fingers also changed.

As long as Fang Cai touched the person at the bottom of the wooden box, his fingers were slightly pale black, only Chunmei's hand did not change in any way, "Chunmei, you didn't touch the bottom of the box at all, how can your hand change, what's more, this is not a lie detector, but an ordinary medical box." The so-called lie detector is just an excuse for me to take advantage of people's hearts. ”

"I ......" Chunmei really hated in her heart, she thought that her little abacus was loud enough, but all this was just a trap laid by Princess Qi, the purpose was to make her confess.

Now that confession is death, and not admitting guilt is death, it is better to confess truthfully, and put all the blame on Concubine Qiong's body may be able to save her life.

"What? Do you still want to quibble? ”

"The slave confesses her guilt, please spare the emperor's life and Princess Qi's life." Chunmei's chick kept kowtowing like pecking rice. Now, she thinks that it is not okay to sin otherwise, and for the sake of today, it is still important to save her life.

This life is not something you can protect if you want to, and it depends on whether others let you protect it, but this Chunmei cares too much and wants too much, it is her greed that pushes herself to a point of no return.

"Hmph, bold, don't you tell me how you framed the queen, maybe I can spare your life." Emperor Yuchen said indignantly. This slut is so hateful, she is so ungrateful and ungrateful, colluding with others to murder her master, such a slave is really damned.

"Yes, yes, the slave will say everything." Chunmei practiced kowtowing. Then he said, "It was Concubine Qiong who found the slave first, she gave the slave a lot of gold and silver, and asked the slave to tell her about the queen's diet and daily life. Later, the queen was framed by Mrs. Qin for witch Gu to murder the emperor, and was exposed by Princess Qi, and also found out that Mrs. Qin was originally the daughter of the Xiao family, and the slave maid was afraid, thinking that she would no longer be a concubine Qiong Niangniang, and later, Concubine Qiong said that as long as the slave maid could provoke the relationship between the queen and Princess Qi, she would marry the slave maid to her cousin, and the slave maid did not want to give people a lifetime, so she agreed. ”

"You, it turns out that everything is you, so why did Chunlan say all the words you instigated?" The queen was furious. Originally, she didn't have that much hatred for Ling Ruoxi, but she didn't know what's wrong, she was instigated by Chunlan's words, and she began to alienate Ling Ruoxuan.

"Queen Mother, if the slave maid keeps saying this, I am afraid that you will be suspicious, Chunlan usually speaks, and she doesn't hide her mouth, so the slave and maid gave Chunlan a pair of gold bracelets, and asked her to persuade you a lot to keep you away from Princess Qi, I didn't expect you to believe it so easily."

"So, since you have forgotten that there are tulips in Mrs. Xu's room, and you also know that she will definitely not be able to save the child in her belly if she takes ginseng soup, then why do you have to put saffron in the decoction, and why does this saffron only fall this time?" The queen roared.

"Because Mrs. Xu either didn't drink ginseng soup a few days ago, or the number of tulips in the room was insufficient, so she kept dragging it without safflower, and this time the saffron was just for double insurance, so that Mrs. Xu could have a miscarriage with tulips and ginseng soup.

Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi pulled her lips and smiled, such an obvious planting, the queen actually didn't see it, it can be seen that as the queen, she is a failure. As a queen, she must be clear-sighted, fair and fair, dominate the harem, and her ability to suppress concubines must not be too weak, otherwise she will definitely fall to this point today.

"Okay, what happened has been understood, and the next thing is to ask the emperor to decide." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. The matter of the harem should have been handled by the queen, but this matter also involved the queen, and it is most appropriate to leave it to the emperor for today's plan.

"Concubine Qiong, after you entered the palace, I have always been very fond of you, why did you join forces with the imperial doctor to frame the queen?" Emperor Yuchen really wants to ask, how much does Concubine Qiong love him, she and Imperial Doctor Hu are childhood sweethearts, what about him? He is the king of a country, isn't he as good as a little imperial doctor?

"The concubine is ashamed of the emperor's grace, and now, the concubine has nothing to say, but with the emperor's disposal, I just ask the emperor not to implicate the concubine's mother's family." Concubine Qiong knelt down and said calmly. Now, no matter how much justification there is, as long as the family is not implicated, it is a blessing, otherwise she will become a sinner in the family......

Emperor Yuchen pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, and then said lightly: "Concubine Qiong framed Mrs. Xu for having a miscarriage, stripped her title, degraded to a concubine, and was imprisoned for life. Chunmei, framed the queen for her own selfishness, and dragged her out to death. After finishing speaking, Emperor Yuchen strode away.

Looking at the back of Emperor Yuchen leaving, Ling Ruohui felt very sorry, probably the emperor really liked Concubine Qiong, but Concubine Qiong didn't know how to cherish it, this is also the pity of the emperor, sincerity and true affection did not belong to the royal ......
