Chapter 162: Which of You Poisoned the Other?
If it is just a push and sent to the criminal department for investigation, it is indeed too murderous with a knife.
Quarrels and quarrels between women are a common occurrence, and it is not necessarily a good thing to publicize them. But if it is murder and poisoning, then it is a different matter.
"It's okay to hand it over to the Criminal Department, and after the facts come out, according to the laws of the Great Hui Dynasty, you can punish how you want." Emperor Zhao didn't want to talk so much nonsense with Empress Wu Yashi, anyway, killing people pays for life, if Concubine Wan is dead, then you have to die too.
Concubine Xiao hated it in her heart, what was going on with this Su Xin? Why did you turn your elbow outward, not only did you not extinguish the fire, but poured the fire bigger and bigger, obviously you only need to coax the emperor to solve the matter, why do you want to get it to the criminal department.
Could this maid be a spy sent by Concubine Wan, right?
But on second thought, it seems impossible.
Su Xin has been following the queen for more than 20 years, and she is the palace maid who has served the queen for the longest time. She couldn't have hooked up with Wan Guifei more than 20 years ago, and Wan Guifei was probably just a little kid at that time.
Maybe Su Xin was frightened, so he was dizzy for a while.
It's okay, it's okay, isn't there still me here? It's up to me to salvage the situation.
Concubine Xiao: "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, there is no need for this." ”
Emperor Zhao gave her a cold look, "You said that if it's not necessary, it's not necessary?" ”
"No, no, no, the concubine just thinks that this kind of thing may not be investigated clearly by the criminal department. Whether the queen mother pushed Wan Guifei with a palm, both sides insisted on their own words, and everyone present did not pay attention to it. ”
"Hmph. If you can't find out with a palm, then who poisoned the rose cake, this is always clear. ”
Poisoning rose crisps?
The emperor even knows this?
I see.
No wonder the emperor came to Kunning Palace angrily to question the queen, it seems that it is mainly because of the poisoning.
Concubine Xiao was shocked, and the whole person seemed to be poured a basin of cold water from the beginning, and even her feet were cold.
This poison was given by her, can she not be afraid?
Empress Wu Yashi was still making her last struggle, "Poisoning? The concubine didn't know about this at all. ”
"You don't know? I said when it happened, you are still acting in front of me. ”
"The concubine didn't act, the concubine really didn't know."
"I don't know. Obviously, you invited them to Changyin Pavilion to listen to the music, but now that one is dead and the other is in danger, you actually keep saying that you don't know? ”
Emperor Zhao was so angry that he knocked all the dishes on the table to the ground. "You, you. Even if you hate Concubine Wan no matter how much you hate it, you can't do such a thing. Don't you know that she still has my child in her belly? Don't you know that because of your poisonous heart, even Concubine Lian was poisoned and died? ”
"I ......" Queen Wu Yashi collapsed on the ground, crying and shaking her head. The concubine was not poisoned, and the concubine was not poisoned. ”
"Your Majesty, maybe the person who poisoned is really not the queen's mother." At this time, Concubine Xiao no longer had the confidence she had at the beginning, and she said that she was a thief, and she was really afraid this time.
However, the queen mother is the big tree behind her, and if this big tree falls, her good life will be over. So no matter what, she has to do everything in her power to protect the queen's position.
"The person who poisoned him is not the queen?" Emperor Zhao felt that he was particularly annoying to her today, was it because her mouth had not stopped from the beginning? Or is it looking at her face, which is becoming more and more exactly the same as the woman of Wu Ya's family?
He walked up to Concubine Xiao and hooked her chin. "You said that the person who poisoned him was not the queen, so is it you?"
"Nope! Not me! Concubine Xiao's reaction was too huge, and she collapsed directly to the ground.
Emperor Zhao knew that among the women in the harem, in addition to the queen, it was this beauty from the Western Regions who was most unaccustomed to Concubine Wan. So Emperor Zhao didn't intend to let her go, "How do I feel like you?" ”
Concubine Xiao was so frightened that she crawled back, "It's not me, Your Majesty, it's really not me." ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for you. So who do you think it will be......"
"It's a concubine." It was urgent, and Su Xin jumped out again.
Fortunately, her appearance made Concubine Xiao, who was on the verge of collapse, not say anything that should not be said.
Emperor Zhao raised his eyes to look at her, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart. "It's you again."
Different from the anxiety of Queen Wu Ya and the anxiety of Concubine Xiao, Su Xin seems to be down-to-earth and generous, with clear thinking and clear organization.
"Yes, the slave maid thinks that the murderer who poisoned and murdered Wan Guifei and Shufei is Concubine Xian Niangniang."
"I advise you to think clearly before you speak, you are just a little palace maid, and I don't need a reason to cut off your head."
Su Xin looked very calm, "Your Majesty, everything Su Xin said was carefully considered, if there is a little falsehood, Su Xin is willing to be beheaded at any time." ”
"Oh? Is it? Do you think I'll believe you if you say that? Hmph, that's ridiculous. In this harem, who doesn't know that Concubine Xian has the best relationship with Concubine Shu, and who doesn't know that Concubine Xian is the least courageous and the most low-key and humble, how could she poison Concubine Wan? ”
"Yes, Concubine Xian Niangniang is indeed timid, and she does not have any grudges with Concubine Wan. But the person who Xian Concubine Niangniang wants to poison may not be Wan Guifei, but the queen's mother. ”
Empress?!
Emperor Zhao felt incredulous, and he even thought that Su Xin was crazy.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about?! Concubine Xian wants to murder the queen? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Xin replied categorically: "Because that poisonous rose cake was brought by Concubine Xian." When the concubine handed it over to the slave maid, she also specially instructed the slave and maid to use the best dishes to serve it, saying that it would look more appetizing. ”
"This ...... Is this possible? Murdering the queen by poisoning? Emperor Zhao still didn't believe it.
How is this possible? Concubine?
The woman who was as thin as a bamboo pole? Why did she murder the queen? What reason did she have to murder the Queen? Is she crazy to murder the queen?
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can let the Criminal Department investigate immediately."
Emperor Zhao half-closed his eyes and yelled at Haifu. "Haifu, come in!"
Grandpa Hai trotted in, "The slave is here." ”
Emperor Zhao: "Come over to Gong Yun from the Punishment Department immediately!" ”
Father-in-law Hai: "Obey." ”
