Chapter 78: The Sin of Killing the Head!
Although Wu Wuxun is dead, this matter must be thoroughly investigated.
Soon, someone saw a hint in the wine jug on the table of Wuwuxun's case: "Your Majesty, the wine here seems to have been replaced!" ”
It stands to reason that there are three kinds of wine at this palace banquet.
One is the fierce dragon and phoenix dance, which is the wine used in the royal family only when entertaining distinguished guests or holding some larger palace banquets. For example, the emperor and queen got married, the prince was crowned, and so on.
Often, even at such a large palace banquet, this wine can only be drunk by the most honorable people. Therefore, at this palace banquet, the dragon and phoenix dance is only drunk by the emperor and queen, Prince Ping and his wife, and Princess Doluo, the envoy of Wuwuxun, as well as Ling Tianhan, who contributed to this peace and harmony.
The second type is the bamboo leaf green used in the palace. Most of this wine was supplied to other princes and courtiers, and this was the kind of wine that His Royal Highness Xun had drunk before.
Finally, the peach blossoms in the palace are brewed, which are usually drunk by women. The concubines and Princess Yongle drank this kind of wine, and the wine that was later exchanged for King Xun was also this kind.
So......
The imperial physicians stepped forward and said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, this wine has indeed been replaced." This pot of poisonous wine is not a dragon and phoenix dance at all, but a bamboo leaf green! ”
For some reason, Zhu Xinghe's heart suddenly gave birth to a bad feeling.
The emperor was furious: "How can this be Zhu Yeqing?!" ”
Immediately, someone found a clue from the wine jug: "Back to the emperor, this wine jug ...... It seems that the regulations are not right, it should not be the wine that is dressed in the dragon and phoenix dance, and it should be the wine pot that can only be used by the princes! ”
Before Zhu Xinghe could confirm where this bad feeling in her heart came from, the emperor had already turned around and looked at the cases below-
At the top of each desk, there is a wine jug. And everyone who comes to the palace banquet, because of the different grades and positions, their wine jugs are also different.
The emperor's eyes swept over these wine jugs one by one, and finally fixed his gaze on the case table of the king: "Bring that wine jug to me!" ”
Immediately, a eunuch presented the wine jug, and sure enough, it was replaced.
After careful inspection by the eunuch, it was determined that the wine pot containing bamboo leaves on the Wuwu case table should have been the wine pot for the king.
So the emperor looked at the palace maid who was waiting beside King Xun: "You say, what's going on?!" ”
The palace maid stepped forward tremblingly, knelt down in front of the emperor, and was so frightened that she couldn't speak: "Slave maid...... Slaves don't know! ”
Then she remembered something, suddenly turned around, and pointed to Zhu Xinghe: "It was that sister who told the slave maid that His Royal Highness Xunwang was not strong enough to drink, and she wanted to replace Zhuyeqing with peach blossom wine, and the slave maid changed the wine for His Royal Highness Xunwang!" ”
When everyone's eyes followed the palace maid's fingers to Zhu Xinghe, Zhu Xinghe's brain was a brief blank: it's over, this time, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life!
Zhu Xinghe didn't even step forward, he was already kneeling on the ground: "Emperor Mingjian, slaves don't dare!" ”
Only then did the emperor let go of the wine jug in his hand, and then slowly walked towards Zhu Xinghe.
But his eyes were already extremely gloomy: "Oh...... So here's how it goes! ”
He seemed to want to settle the matter as soon as possible and give an explanation to Princess Doro, and it seemed that he had other plans.
When he slowly walked towards Zhu Xinghe, he had already thought about everything: "At the beginning, someone wanted to poison His Royal Highness Xunwang. ”
In his eyes, there was already a bit of murderous intent towards Zhu Xinghe: "Then you, the little palace maid, may or may not be involved." But I don't know where you got the news, so for some purpose of your own, you plan to use this matter to poison the Uwu Messenger, right?! ”
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, such random speculation, how can you be a good emperor!?
Zhu Xinghe closed his eyes, feeling that the wrath of the true dragon had reached his eyes, he would never dare to raise his head: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid will not dare to poison the messenger even if they die!" The slave maid just felt that His Royal Highness Xun Wang was too strong to drink too much bamboo leaf green, so she asked the palace maid to change the wine for His Highness. The slave didn't know why the bamboo leaf green wine pot finally ran to the Wuwu messenger to ask the emperor to learn from it! ”
But the emperor didn't listen to half a word, but suddenly shouted: "Someone! Drag the palace maid out and behead it, and give an explanation to the Wuwu messenger! ”
Faint!
Except for these two words, Zhu Xinghe really didn't know what she should say now.
And when the guards began to pull Zhu Xinghe, Zhu Xinghe didn't even struggle.
Doesn't she want to live? No, she thought! But how will she survive? And if she dies here like this, isn't she...... Will you go back to where you came from!?
The original place? Right! It's where it was!
Although Zhu Xinghe was dragged outside, he suddenly remembered something and raised his eyes to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty! It was a maid next to Prince Ping who asked the slave to do this! ”
She didn't have to drag anyone into the water, but she couldn't just die!
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the emperor waved his hand to signal the guards to stop.
Getting a moment of respite, Zhu Xinghe took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then pointed straight to Liu Lu who was standing behind Prince Ping: "It's this Sister Liu Lu, and the slave maid said that Princess Pingqi cares about His Royal Highness King Xun is too strong to drink." I am afraid that if His Royal Highness Xunwang drinks too much spirits, he will go crazy in front of the envoys of distinguished guests, so I asked the slave maid to see these His Royal Highnesses Xunwang, and it is best not to let him drink bamboo leaves! ”
Zhu Xinghe pointed out this way, which made Liu Lu's face pale with fright: "You...... You are talking nonsense! How could I say such a thing to you?! “
The more flustered she became, the more calm Zhu Xinghe became.
Anyway, the grudge between her and Liu Lu is not just a day or two, the last time it was Liu Lu and Hua Hong who wanted to kill her, this time it should be her turn to fight back, right?
Sure enough, seeing that Liu Lu also hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and explained: "The slave maid has never said such a thing, please let the emperor know!" ”
Zhu Xinghe rolled his eyes, and immediately began to confront Liu Lu: "Didn't you say that Prince Ping and Princess Ping care about His Royal Highness?!" ”
If she "not", then it proves that Prince and Princess Ping pretend to care about everyone on weekdays.
So Liu Lu glanced at Prince Ping and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain.
Zhu Xinghe struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask: "Didn't you tell me that the princess instructed that His Royal Highness Xun Wang is not in good health and can't drink more spirits?" ”
