Chapter 601 Strict Trial
It was the second half of the night when the Baohua Hall was in trouble.
The mage said that the palace maid who came to chant for her by Concubine Wan seemed to have been caught in an evil spirit, and she was chanting in a good manner, but she suddenly fainted, and when she woke up again, she began to shout and shout, and said a lot of terrible things.
The queen was awakened in the middle of the night, and immediately got up and rushed over.
Soon, Pei Yao got the news here, saying that it was Yuetao, the big palace maid beside Concubine Wan, who suddenly confided in a lot of evil things that Concubine Wan had done in the palace over the years, and several of them were about the imperial heir, which was very important.
Pei Yao was resting alone in Jingqian Palace today, and he was called up in the middle of the night, and when he heard the report, Yan Li, the great eunuch beside the queen, said a few words, and he had a plan in his heart.
With a dark face, he immediately rushed to the Baohua Palace.
When he arrived, except for a few mages in the Baohua Palace, they were curled up in a ball, trembling, like a moon peach that had been greatly stimulated.
"Your Majesty."
The moment she saw Pei Yao, the queen's eyes were red, and her voice trembled slightly, with hidden anger and grief.
"What the hell is going on?" Pei Yao looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help frowning.
The queen took a deep breath, quickly wiped away the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "This girl said that the poisoning of the fifth prince was done by Concubine Wan, because Concubine Wan suspected that she could not have children, and it was the concubine who harmed her, so in order to take revenge on the concubine, she planned to come up with this vicious way to deal with the concubine!" ”
Hearing this, Pei Yao's face was also gloomy to the extreme for a while.
"Hong Zheng, you go and ask, yes or no."
In fact, this answer has already been achieved in his heart, how could the Fengxuan Palace and Yichun Palace, which he has tracked down these days, not notice the queen's current methods, as well as the slight connection between Concubine Wan and the poisoning case of the fifth prince.
When her thoughts returned to her eyes, Yue Tao seemed to be frightened, and as soon as Hong Zheng leaned over, before she could ask, she immediately waved her hands and hid back with a frightened face.
"It's not me, I'm just doing things as I am told, it's all Concubine Wan's idea, harming the five princes, harming the queen, harming Concubine Zhao and the four princes, it's all her, it's all her, I'm just her pawn!"
I don't need to ask, I've said it all.
When Pei Yao heard this, he suddenly became nervous, "And Concubine Zhao?" Concubine Wan, what did she do to Concubine Zhao?! ”
Originally, it was enough to make people feel bad that the poisoning of the five princes was a foregone conclusion, and at this time, he mentioned Fang Yu who had not paid attention to before, especially at this time Fang Yu was still pregnant, and if something happened, it would be a corpse and two lives, so no one could not pay special attention to it.
"It's Xie Meiren, it's Concubine Wan who let Xie Meiren use smallpox to harm people, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Yue Tao immediately confided.
Hearing this, the queen immediately reacted and stepped forward quickly.
"Your Majesty, this must be the old story of the second princess and Song Concubine who were infected with smallpox, the Xie family has already subdued the law, but I never thought that such an old thing was actually related to Concubine Wan, it can be seen that she is vicious and cunning, she has been hiding in the palace for so many years, poor my Xu'er, she was victimized, and now she is less than ten years old, and her life expectancy is enough."
The queen was angry and anxious, and even more extremely sad and indignant, choked and unable to speak.
Only those eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, staring at Yue Tao deadly, as if they were going to tear people apart.
"Come on, go and call Concubine Wan to me!"
Pei Yao's hand behind his back was clenched tightly, and his knuckles were white.
And just as Hong was about to go out to find someone, he suddenly heard a chaotic footstep outside the Baohua Palace, and saw Concubine Wan running in from outside in disheveled clothes.
It was like he had just woken up from the couch and had not had time to clean up.
Of course it will be like this, because the queen will keep the news from the Baohua Palace, and Concubine Wan can get the letter in Yichun Palace, so she came in advance, and she didn't wait for anyone to invite her, which was already unexpected by the queen.
However, Concubine Wan came at this moment, and the queen didn't panic at all, what should have been said had already been said, and what Pei Yao should know was already known, and it would be useless for Concubine Wan to struggle no matter how much she struggled.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Concubine Wan ran in and hurriedly saluted, "The concubine has already heard about it, Your Majesty, you can't believe these nonsense, how could the concubine do such a thing!" ”
"This girl is your dowry, your confidant maidservant, can her words be fake?!" The queen couldn't help but scold on the spot.
Concubine Wan glanced at the moon peach curled up on the ground, gritted her teeth, and immediately ran over, grabbed her shoulders and shook it vigorously.
"Yuetao, you speak, who instructed you to slander this palace like this, how could this palace do those things!"
"Ah——! Let go of me, let go of me, it's not me, it's not me, it's all done by Concubine Wan, I just do what I am told, don't look for me, poisoning the five princes, it's all done by Concubine Wan, it's all done by Concubine Wan, it has nothing to do with me! ”
Yue Tao, who was caught and shaken by Concubine Wan, screamed and dodged as if stimulated, and yelled.
Listening to her words, Concubine Wan's face suddenly turned pale, and she raised her hand and slapped her in the face.
"You calm down this palace, you have lost your heart and can't go crazy, and your mouth is full of nonsense!"
After this slap, Yue Tao really seemed to be a little more sensible, covering her face with one hand and supporting the ground with the other, no longer yelling, only panting violently, and looking at Concubine Wan with wide eyes.
However, Concubine Wan didn't have the heart to look at her at this time, so she immediately turned around and knelt down in front of Pei Yao.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, even if the concubine has ten thousand guts, she doesn't dare to do this kind of thing, Yuetao must be crazy, you can't believe the words of a madman, Your Majesty!"
But Pei Yao looked at her condescendingly, but there was only coldness and forbearance in his eyes.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Bring Concubine Wan back to Yichun Palace, there is no will, no one in Yichun Palace is allowed to leave Yichun Palace for half a step, and no one is allowed to contact Yichun Palace, this maid, take it away, interrogate it well!" ”
No matter how Concubine Wan struggled, it was useless, and now she could only pray that Yuetao was really crazy, and it was better to speak without a preface and a post, and there was no way to prove it.
But there are more or less people around her, and there are still a few who know the inside story.
Thinking of this, Concubine Wan suddenly felt like falling into an ice cellar.
In the Baohua Hall at that time, the queen watched Concubine Wan and Yuetao being taken away separately, her eyes were red, and she pulled the handkerchief in her hand tightly, obviously her mood had not calmed down.
Pei Yao glanced at her, sighed, and said softly, "The queen should go back and rest, Hong Zheng is responsible for the interrogation, and Xu'er is also my child, I will definitely give your mother and son an explanation." ”
"Concubine, Emperor Xie." The queen was in tears, owed, and then left with the support of the maid.
But after she left, Pei Yao didn't leave in a hurry, but asked the mage to bring something over and put a stick of incense on his own hands.
"Master Jinghui has been in Baohua Hall for some years."
"Amitabha, the old man has been in the Baohua Hall for more than 20 years." Master Jinghui clasped his hands together.
Pei Yao glanced at him, and then said lightly, "Monks, you shouldn't be entangled with the world, the master has been in Buddhism for many years, and since I know this, I don't want this Baohua Hall to disturb the peace of your ancestors when there is no time when it is not quiet." ”
Hearing this, Master Jinghui's body suddenly stiffened slightly, and then he responded.
And Pei Yao didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
It is true that he can't tolerate Concubine Wan's murder of the five princes, but the queen colluded with the mages in the palace to make this scene in the Baohua Palace, where the ancestors are enshrined, is indeed out of order.
But knowing that the queen's protector is earnest, Pei Yao will not be held responsible, but the mage, he should be beaten.
