Chapter 43: The Long Night and the Shadow of the Moon (Part II)
The emperor didn't understand what he meant, but he understood Su Jieyu's personality, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for Jing'er to come, the most important thing at the moment is Cai Qin's death." ”
Concubine De opened her mouth and said, "I don't know why Miss Qiao Hua went to the Aijiang Hall in the middle of the unitary hour?" Everyone knows that the Aijiang Palace is located in a remote area, so it can't be even a coincidence, right? ”
Qiao Hua bowed slightly, took out a folded letter from his left sleeve, and presented it to the emperor with both hands: "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”
The Emperor took the letter, "What is this?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is the reason why the slave maid went to the Aijiang Palace. Since the training in the past two days, Luo Sile has been praising Caiqin, saying that Caiqin has the best hope of winning the first place, and the slave maid also sincerely congratulates her. When the time of Shen was almost over today, the slave maid received such a letter, and the messenger was a little palace maid, and the slave maid had never seen it. The letter was written in Cai Qin's handwriting, saying that Cai Qin had come up with a new move to share with the slave maid, so that the slave and maid would go to the Aijiang Hall to meet at half of the time. ”
Concubine De smiled faintly, as if she was listening to a few light-hearted things, "It's not impossible to say that this letter is that you imitated Cai Qin's handwriting. ”
Qiao Hua shook his head: "The slave maid has witnesses who can prove that this letter was not written by the slave maid." ”
Concubine De looked at Qiao Hua, "Who?" ”
Before Qiao Hua could answer, he looked outside the door of the Wanglin De Palace, and the dark sky was like an abyss from which no one could recover.
Suddenly, Gao Chen hurriedly ran in from the gate of the Lin De Palace, walked quickly to the emperor and said a thousand words: "Your Majesty, the palace maids Fu'an, Fei Cui, Ru Pei, and Jing'er, the palace maid in charge of the Hanliang Palace, are asking to see you outside. ”
One sentence pulled everyone's eyes out of the door again, and Su Jieyu's expression was relieved, as if she was much more relaxed. Qiao Hua no longer looked outside the hall, and turned to Concubine De and said, "It's a coincidence, Niangniang, the witness of the slave maid has arrived." ”
The emperor ordered the four to enter the hall, Qiao Hua and King Sui glanced at each other, as if they breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came.
As far as the eye could see, Fu'an, Jing'er, and Feicui brought Ru Pei into the hall, led by Jing'er, and Ru Pei was grabbed by Fu'an and Fei Cui and pulled into the Linde Palace.
Jing'er leaned down and bowed: "Long live Your Majesty." After that, Fu'an and Fei Cui also pressed Ru Pei's back and kowtowed to the emperor.
Seeing this, the emperor was slightly puzzled, "What kind of system did you two do when you pressed her into the palace?" ”
Qiao Hua introduced indifferently: "Back to Concubine De, this is Fu'an." ”
Concubine De's expression was a little slight, and now that the matter was no longer under her control, perhaps, there was such a part of this matter from the beginning of the plan, which was not within her expectations.
Fu'an saluted: "Slave Fu'an greets Your Majesty." Then Fei Cui also saluted.
The emperor looked at Ru Pei and asked, "Fu'an and Feicui...... What are you two doing with Rupe? ”
Fei Cui pointed her throat, "Your Majesty, the slave maid has caught the culprit of the sudden illness in the palace today, it is Ru Pei, who is the one who drugged the food sent to the palaces by the Shang Palace Bureau!" ”
The expressions of King Qian and the Empress quickly swept towards Ru Pei, and they were immediately horrified, they naturally didn't believe that Ru Pei would do such a thing, but Su Jieyu's "next policy" had been successfully implemented, and all kinds of evidence began to point to Ru Pei.
Fu'an picked up a medicine bag and handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this was found under Ru Pei's bed. ”
Jing'er bowed and said: "The slave maid has already asked the imperial doctor to see it, and after taking this medicine, I will feel dizzy and painful, but after a while, the symptoms will disappear, because the amount of medicine is very small." ”
Ru Pei broke free of Fei Cui's hand and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has never done it!" ”
Qiao Hua's eyes were sharp, he looked at Ru Pei, and asked, "It turns out that you and I rushed to deliver these ingredients because you wanted to take medicine?" What are you doing this for? ”
Hearing this, Ru Pei's frightened eyes seemed to have a somewhat normal look, she trembled her fingertips, pointed at Qiao Hua, and said, "It's you?" It's you! It must have been you who did it inside, it had to be you! ”
As she spoke, Ru Pei made a gesture to pounce forward, but fortunately, Fu'an and Fei Cui held her down together.
Ru Pei cursed to himself: "Slut, you must have done something in the ingredients!" ”
Before the words fell, Qiao Hua interrupted her and said, "You are responsible for the two baskets of ingredients from beginning to end, how can I get close?" ”
Qiao Hua looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Ru Pei swore in front of everyone in the house today that those two baskets of vegetables, from beginning to end, no one has touched them except herself. ”
Ru Pei was angry: "You-"
Seeing this, Lu Sishe was slightly timid, so he had no choice but to testify, and said: "The slave and maid can testify, the slave and maid were outside the door at that time, and they did hear some confusion inside, and the slave and maid who swore by Ru Pei also heard it clearly. ”
The emperor looked at Ru Pei and threw the medicine bag on the ground in disgust, as if he was treating an extremely filthy thing: "Ru Pei, you little palace maid are so bold as to dare to make such a big wave in the harem?!" ”
Concubine De squinted at Jing'er, and then looked at Su Jieyu, Su Jieyu's expression was as usual, it seemed that from the first day she entered the palace, Su Jieyu's face was always so faint.
Qingyun's head was dizzy, and her shoulder slightly touched Chu Yun's arm, which made Chu Yun tremble.
Seeing this, Chu Yun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, our little master is still pregnant, can you go back to the palace first?" ”
The emperor raised his hand, and asked a sedan chair to carry Qingyun out.
Ru Pei was the one sent by King Qian to set up a house, and the emperor looked at King Qian and asked, "King Qian, I heard that Ru Pei was transferred from the flower room by you?" ”
King Qian also realized that the situation was developing more and more in the direction he had not expected, so he hurriedly took two steps forward on his knees and said, "Father and Emperor Yin have investigated, but the son has never asked her to prepare any poisonous ingredients to distribute to the palaces!" ”
Concubine De saw that it was impossible to continue her plan to kill two birds with one stone, so she had to try her best to lead the finger to the queen.
"Your Majesty," Concubine De bowed: "It's better to invite a few more people who practice on a cloudy day, the concubine also thought that the palace was indeed not very peaceful recently, and the concubine was also startled this afternoon, after all, the concubine was also like that symptom when she was first ill, Your Majesty don't blame the concubine for talking nonsense, at that time the concubine really thought that the soul of the concubine had returned." ”
Su Jieyu sighed and said, "It is rumored that the soul with resentment will be reluctant to leave for a long time. ”
Concubine De smiled faintly and said calmly: "Concubine Xian is approachable, Xiande I, naturally there will be no complaints." ”
Qiao Hua also spoke: "Niangniang is very right, it can be seen that such a panic seems to be from the hand of Ru Pei alone, I don't know why she did this." ”
The emperor's voice was a little angry: "This is to ask herself!" ”
Ru Pei shook her head with a vacant gaze and cried out helplessly, but no one believed her.
Su Jieyu looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty has heard of one thing?" Some people say that Concubine Xian did not die of illness at that time, but died of poisoning. ”
Concubine De looked at Su Jieyu in disbelief, as if Su Jieyu just spoke to her heart.
The tassel on the phoenix hairpin swayed slightly, and the queen said to Su Jieyu: "Poisoned to death?" What kind of strange poison is in that virtuous concubine? ”
Everyone looked at Su Jieyu, expecting Su Jieyu to explain this old thing in her mouth.
