Chapter 366: Medicinal Herbs and the Queen's Silver Hairpin

The hall was as silent as death, silent.

All eyes fell on Fu Jiuqu's face. The sadness on Zhao Guanjia's face has not faded, and his red eyes look like he wants to eat people. The three imperial doctors originally knelt in front of Zhao Zhen, but when they saw Fu Jiuqu coming in, they bowed their heads straight to the side, and the palace maids didn't dare to lift up.

Empress Cao's expression was calm, as if it was none of her business, and the whole person was outside the incident, as if she was avoiding suspicion......

Because of her "blindness", Xin Yi was able to quietly observe the changes on everyone's faces, but no one paid too much attention to her.

Zhao Zhen had a gloomy face, "What's the matter with these two people?" ”

Fu Jiuqu's face did not change, and he said indifferently: "The Imperial City Division conducted a routine inspection at night, and found that the two of them were sneaky, and they were arrested and investigated, and the stolen goods were seized. ”

He pointed with his hand.

"One has the jewelry of the ladies in the palace, and the other carries the medicinal herbs of the concubine of the Huining Palace. Wei Chen saw that the matter was serious, and hurriedly sent people over. ”

Zhao Zhen snorted.

He knew this nephew, just as Fu Jiuqu knew his uncle.

How could it be a theft that could make Fu Jiuqu Shen bring people to Huining Hall in the middle of the night? Besides, Huining Hall and Xiangluan Pavilion have no intersection, and the servants in the two palaces were caught by him at night, what is the reason?

Zhao Zhen stared at Fu Jiuqu coldly, "What else?" ”

The two looked at each other tacitly for a moment, and Fu Jiuqu smiled.

"I'm afraid the rest of the matter will have to be interrogated by the official family himself."

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, but his eyes were like knives, and he wanted to kill her.

There is not only Queen Cao in the palace, but also the daughter of Dali Xiangguo, even if he misses his family and does not publicize his ugliness, he probably can't do it.

His nephew not only wants to Yang, but also helps him to be known to the world and leave a stench for 10,000 years.

"Good. Very good! ”

Zhao Zhen stared coldly at the two attendants, and his voice was full of impatience and murder.

"Do you confess yourself, or wait for the Imperial City Division to be executed?"

He is usually a benevolent monarch with a pleasant face, and he rarely gets angry with the palace people, but Zhang Guifei's death sharpens his temper. Tonight's Zhao Guan's family, looking at the pickled dirt in this palace felt breathless.

The two chamberlains naturally denied it in every possible way.

Ma Shun of Xiangluan Pavilion said that he didn't know that those jewelry belonged to the ladies in the palace, but Sixi of Huining Hall owed him a sum of money, and he took this as a mortgage, so he accepted it.

The four joys of the Huining Hall said that those medicinal materials were eliminated by the Huining Palace. The medicinal materials used by the concubine were all good things, and he felt that it was a pity to waste them, so he picked them up, and was caught by the Imperial City Division before he could deal with them......

The things confiscated by the Imperial City Division were thrown on the ground.

medicinal herbs, and jewelry.

Zhao Zhen glanced at it and asked Zhou Yiliu on the spot, "Is this Ma Shun a person in your palace?" ”

Zhou Yiliu sat beside him, his face white with fright.

Hearing this, Shi Shiran got up with a chair and was about to kneel down towards Zhao Zhen.

She held her belly with her hands, looking careful and inconvenient, how could Zhao Zhen really let her kneel?

"You sit and talk."

Zhou Yiliu thanked him, lowered his eyes and confessed.

"The official family forgives the sin, the concubine is not strict under the control, I don't know that there is such a thief in the Xiangluan Pavilion......"

Zhao Zhen waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to apologize.

"It's none of your business."

After that, he pointed to those medicinal herbs and asked Meng Ning to come over, "This is the medicinal herbs of the Huining Palace?" ”

Meng Ning's head hung low, not daring to look directly at the Son of Heaven, and her body was visibly restrained, "Go back to the official's house, it seems, it seems to be." ”

Zhao Zhen: "Why don't you give it to the concubine, but ask someone to steal it?" ”

Meng Ning knelt down, "Official, yesterday Miss Ayima entered the palace, and the lady refused to take the medicine, and the maid didn't have time to collect the medicinal materials, I didn't know that Sixi would steal the medicine......"

"If you don't steal anything, why do you want to steal medicine" Fu Jiuqu suddenly interjected faintly, turning his head to look at the three doctors who were sincerely afraid.

"Three imperial doctors, take a look, is there anything strange in this medicinal herb?"

Stealing jewelry makes sense, for money. Stealing medicinal materials, no matter how good the medicinal materials used by the concubine, everyone can't have the same disease as the concubine, right? What to do with stealing it?

There were doubts in everyone's hearts.

Zhao Zhen's eyes swept away, and the three imperial doctors walked over.

After investigating the medicinal materials, Imperial Physician Wei was the first to reply, "Official, the old minister can't see anything strange in the medicinal materials. Moreover, this is indeed the concubine's recipe. ”

The other two Imperial Physicians nodded yes.

The person who prescribed the prescription was Imperial Doctor Wei, but Zhang Guifei's pulse case was discussed by several old female doctors in the Imperial Hospital, and everyone was familiar with it.

Fu Jiuqu smiled and looked down at Sixi, who was scared like a lump of wood.

"Don't tell the official family, why did you steal the medicinal herbs?"

Sixi's voice trembled, "Small, small is a pity to look at ...... waste"

Fu Jiuqu: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears." ”

He suddenly looked up at Empress Cao and arched his hand: "Sage, in order to judge justice, I will lend you a silver hairpin." ”

Cao Yuqi glanced at the girl, "Red Cloud." ”

Fu Jiuqu didn't say what to do with the queen's silver hairpin, but everyone had already guessed.

Therefore, when Fu Jiuqu slowly poked Empress Cao's silver hairpin into that pile of medicinal materials, everyone watched the silver hairpin turn into a pitch-black color, and no one suspected it.

"Poisonous!"

"Medicinal herbs are poisonous."

Fu Jiuqu looked coldly at the same stunned Sixi.

"You didn't steal the medicinal herbs because they didn't use them, but you took the poisonous herbs and wanted to destroy the evidence...... These medicinal materials are the evidence of the crime of killing the concubine, yes or no? ”

"No, it's not. How so? The surprise on Sixi's face was no less than anyone else's, he looked at the medicinal herbs in a daze, and under Zhao Zhen's sharp gaze, his lips and tongue trembled unfavorably.

"The small ones don't have, the small ones don't. The official family clearly observed that the concubine ate and used medicine every day, and someone tested the poison, where did anyone dare to blatantly poison the concubine......"

"Don't dare blatantly, dare to sneak around?" Fu Jiuqu looked at him quietly, his black eyes faintly cold, like a demon beast flashing with some kind of demon.

"Come on, pull Sixi to the Imperial City Prison and torture him!"

Sixi was so frightened that his face changed, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, kowtowing, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his head suddenly, and looked at Ma Shun like a sudden realization.

"You're the one who hurt me, aren't you? Did you deliberately change the herbs? ”

Ma Shun flatly denied it, "You fart, how would I know that you were going to poison the concubine's medicine?" ”

"Okay, you Ma Shun, you said that you would make a fortune together, but you actually want to harm me. I'll just say, how could the Imperial City Division suddenly arrive ......"

Sixi gritted his teeth and scolded Ma Shun angrily, because he knew very well in his heart that whether Ma Shun betrayed him or not, this poisonous name could not be washed away. If he wants to die, he will also die with Mashun. Maybe because of a good explanation, spare his life?

Sixi knelt firmly this time.

"Official, the little ones are guilty, but the little ones are all deceived by Ma Shun's bastard."

Ma Shun's face turned pale, and he shouted while kowtowing, "Official, Sixi is framing the little one." The little ones don't know anything, and the little ones are wronged......"

"Shut up!" Zhao Zhen was so noisy that his brain hurt.

Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair.

"Sixi, you say."

"Yes, official." Sixi straightened up, but his head hung very low.

"The decoction taken by the concubine is indeed poisonousβ€”"

Before the voice fell, the hall was full of gasps.

Zhao Zhen slapped on the table with a bang, "What a big dog guts!" ”

Sixi lay on the ground with his hands, his shoulders shaking, "But the poison given to the concubine is slightly toxic, Ma Shun said, it is a kind of medicinal material used as a ointment, called, what is it called Mi Tuo monk, it needs to be accumulated over time to be effective...... The silver needle is not searchable. Even if someone finds out that it is poisoning, they can finally deny the ointment given to the concubine......"

He glanced at the pile of herbs again.

"The small one has been tried with silver needles before, and the silver needles don't change color...... This time, it must have been Ma Shun who heard that the concubine had died...... I'm afraid that the official family will investigate thoroughly, and they want to push me to carry the ...... alone."

Zhao Zhen stared at him coldly, "Go on." ”

Sixi cried with a sad face, "The little one is good at gambling the dice, and he lost a lot of money...... The little one and Ma Shun are fellow countrymen. At first, he was kind enough to lend money to the little one, but then the more he lost, the more he forced the little one to pay back, and the little one couldn't pay it back, so he said that he would go to the prison to denounce me. The little one begs him...... He gave the little one a trick to let the little one steal the concubine's jewelry and sell it. The little one also ate lard and blinded his heart, and once he stretched out his hand, he couldn't wash it again. ”

Sixi cried bitterly at the end.

"At first, the little one was just stealing things, and then Ma Shun used this to blackmail me into doing things for him and harming the concubine......"
