Chapter 606: Self-Defense
It was a good question, and no one, including the cook, took it.
Liu Yunxiang asked Fu Yin Li Chong again: "You should have experienced it, what kind of poison is in Concubine Yuan's side?" ”
Li Chong was silent for a moment, "Crane top red." ”
"This poison is very domineering, after a person takes it, it will only take a moment to poison it, right?"
Li Chong stroked his beard, "Indeed, and he also deduced that the poison was very large, and the poisoned person died of poison almost instantly." ”
Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, no longer asked, and no longer said anything.
The queen was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Chong turned to the queen and said, "It means that this cook lied, and he didn't poison Concubine Yuan's food, or he didn't have time to poison it at all." ”
The queen frowned and turned her head to look at Jiang Yunying.
Jiang Yunying's mind turned, and she looked up at the cook, "Regardless of this, who told you to poison the food?" ”
"I don't dare say it......," said the cook, bowing his head.
Jiang Yunying sighed, "The queen mother is here, and the people from the official mansion are also here, that person doesn't dare to harm your family." ”
The cook seemed to hesitate, and slowly turned his head to look at Liu Yunxiang.
"Yes...... It was the princess who instructed me! ”
After saying this, the ladies showed excitement one after another.
"I'll just say it's her!"
"My heart is really black enough!"
"One corpse and two lives, it's so vicious!"
Jiang Yunying continued: "Since the princess has the intention of murdering Concubine Yuan, she will definitely come up with another plan if she can't do it, and Concubine Yuan can't hide if she wants to, sooner or later this will be the result." ”
The queen nodded: "Concubine Jiang is right, Yuan Qingyue was poisoned in the palace, except for you Liu Yunxiang, no one else can do this!" ”
"Murdering the emperor's heir and reporting it to the emperor must be a capital crime!" Feng also interjected at this time.
Liu Yunxiang pulled out a sneer, and the three of them eagerly buckled the pot on her, eager to press her and make her confess quickly.
"Li Fuyin, what do you think?" Liu Yunxiang looked at Li Chong.
Li Chong pondered for a while, and said, "Who poisoned Concubine Yuan, let it go in advance." It's just that the princess, you really instructed this cook to poison Concubine Yuan? ”
"What if I instructed it?"
"Sin is the same as murder."
The queen's eyes lit up, "Liu, it's really you!" ”
Liu Yunxiang spread his hands: "Do I admit it?" ”
"You just ......"
"I'm just making an analogy, the queen seems to be desperate for me to confess, and doesn't care who the real culprit is."
"You don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Just now this cook said that he was old and young, and I threatened him with the lives of his family, did you all hear this?" ”
Liu Yunxiang looked at the ladies of the family, most of them were facing the queen, so they refused to answer this sentence.
Duchess Zhenguo nodded at this time, "I heard it." ”
The third lady of the Yangguo Mansion, Feng Shi, also nodded, "I heard it too." ”
Li Chong also said: "Your Majesty also heard it, but I don't know what the princess means by asking?" ”
Liu Yunxiang called the housekeeper over and asked, "As long as he is recruited to work in the palace, you must have checked his details as a housekeeper, right?" ”
The housekeeper nodded, "That's natural, if you recruit some ill intentions and harm the palace, it will be the sin of the old slave." ”
"Then this cook is really old and young?"
The housekeeper sneered, "His parents have passed away, because he often gambles, he owes a lot of gambling debts, and he can't even afford to marry his daughter-in-law, he promised me to work hard, so I let him enter the house." ”
Liu Yunxiang looked at Li Chong, "You can't lie about this, Fu Yin, you let the official send the official to check below, and it will be clear." ”
Li Chong stepped forward and kicked the cook, "Don't tell the truth yet!" ”
"I really don't have a family...... But the princess said that if I didn't listen to her...... She'll kill me! ”
Liu Yunxiang sneered, "A person who is full of lies, can his words still be used as evidence in court?" ”
Li sighed heavily, "Naturally not." ”
At this time, the housekeeper called a few people from Jingshui Pavilion again, and after Yuan Qingyue had eaten, they shared the rest and ate the rest, and no one was poisoned. This matter is already obvious, this cook was not poisoned, but he was instructed to frame Liu Yunxiang.
Li Chong pondered for a moment and called all the subordinates of the Jingshui Pavilion to the courtyard, including the maidservants beside Yuan Qingyue.
"Concubine Yuan has eaten anything else before she has eaten dinner until she is poisoned?"
The servants who were waiting outside didn't know, only the maidservants beside Yuan Qingyue knew. The servant girl shrunk to her knees, hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.
"No, no."
"Really?"
"Not really."
At this time, the woman who Liu Yunxiang had placed in the Jingshui Pavilion spoke, "Yes, after Concubine Yuan returned to the house, she said that she was disgusting, and she came out and took preserved fruit for Concubine Yuan. ”
Li Chong asked the maidservant girl again: "Can Concubine Yuan eat preserved fruit?" ”
"This ......"
"You'd better tell the truth, you can detect it by disemboweling!"
The servant girl was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't, don't disemboweled my girl!" I said, I said, my girl...... I did eat the preserved fruit, and then I couldn't stop vomiting blood, and the effort was gone after a while. ”
At this, the maidservant broke down and cried.
She has served Yuan Qingyue for so long, in fact, she also has feelings.
"I asked you just now, why didn't you say it?"
"Slave maid...... The slave didn't dare to say it. ”
"Where did this preserved fruit come from?"
The maid was lying on the ground, her body couldn't help shaking, Li Zhong repeatedly asked, she couldn't hold it anymore.
"I brought the preserved fruit to Concubine Yuan." Jiang Yunying stood up and said.
When she came out, everyone was shocked, including the queen.
Jiang Yunying clenched her fist under her sleeve and said, "Concubine Yuan's appetite has always been bad, and she wants to eat sour, so when I came to visit her yesterday, I brought her a bag of preserved fruits." The preserved fruit was bought from the dim sum restaurant on East Street, and I didn't take it, but delivered it directly to the maid. ”
She said this sentence to clear her suspicion, but this sentence obviously did not carry enough weight to make her prove her innocence. And now the four princes are in power, but they have no male heirs under their knees, and the Seventh Highness has also been favored by the emperor, and they already have a son, if there is another one, the four princes will be at a disadvantage, so Jiang Yunying harms Yuan Qingyue's motives.
At this time, the official found a packet of medicinal powder from under Yuan Qingyue's pillow, and said that it was for slipping tires.
Asked the maid again, how dare the maid ask again, and said that the medicinal powder was also given to her by Jiang Yunying and the maid.
This time, it almost confirmed the fact that Jiang Yunying poisoned Yuan Qingyue.
The queen kept a calm face and didn't speak, and several ladies of the family didn't dare to say anything.
After being silent for a while, the Duchess of Zhenguo stood up and said: "It seems that this case is very complicated, it is not something that can be clarified in a while, in the end, it is a matter of the government, we will not get involved, we only hope to find the real culprit as soon as possible, so as to comfort the spirit of Concubine Yuan in the sky." ”
After speaking, the Duchess of Zhenguo left first.
The third lady of Yangguo whispered something to Duchess Yangguo, and the two concubines also left.
Seeing this, the others were afraid of offending the queen, so they hurried away.
Liu Yunxiang smiled: "The queen still remembers what she just said, and she will never tolerate the real murderer." Tsk, this murder of the emperor's heir is not only a capital crime, but also involves the family, right? ”
She looked at Jiang Yunying, her eyes lit up, "Concubine Jiang, is this really your idea alone, or is there someone behind you who instructs you?" ”
