Chapter 791: Still Smart
In Feifeng Palace, the queen sat on the Luohan bed against the west wall, her eyes closed at this time, her expression was serene, but she was holding a teacup in her hand, because she was too hard, and her hand joints were white.
At this time, she heard footsteps, and the queen opened her eyes suddenly, and saw the grandmother beside her open the curtain and come in.
"How's it going?"
The grandmother shook her head, paused and said, "The study is surrounded inside and out, and An Yue can't come out, so I really don't know what's going on inside." It's just that when the slave and maid were visiting outside, they saw Shangguan Xu leading several imperial doctors to hurry in, Xu is ......"
The queen's eyes lit up, and then she laughed, "It must be, it must be that he drank that ginseng soup and got poisoned!" ”
"Niangniang, after all, this ginseng soup was sent in your name."
"What's the matter, it's just a wild seed, the emperor can still kill the palace for him! Haha, get rid of Yan Dusk, this throne is the fourth! This palace is now the queen, and then it will be the queen mother, what if that fox spirit is favored by the emperor, how can it be compared with this palace! ”
The queen was smiling proudly, when Shangguan Xu came with the guards.
"Niangniang, please move to the Punishment Division."
The queen smiled, pretending not to know, "Shangguan Governor said that he was laughing, what is this palace going to do in that kind of place?" ”
Shangguan Xu lowered his head and smiled, "Niangniang will know when she goes." ”
"I'm not going to this palace!" The queen snorted coldly, "If you have anything to say, that's what you say here." ”
"The emperor's orders, and the mother doesn't listen to them?"
The queen snorted, "Then let the emperor come up and talk to the palace!" ”
Shangguan Xu's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand to let the guards in, "Since the queen refuses to go out decently, then tie it up." ”
The queen stood up suddenly, "You dare! ”
"Slaves only do what they are told."
No matter how the queen struggled and reprimanded, Shangguan Xu still asked the guards to tie her up and then take her to the cell in charge of the punishment department in the palace.
The queen lost face, scolded all the way, and came to the cell to see the emperor sitting inside, so she stopped scolding.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't understand, what do you mean?"
The queen wanted to pretend to be stupid, but she didn't realize that the emperor's anger had reached the limit, he slapped the table hard and scolded the queen angrily: "Poisonous woman! ”
"Your Majesty, you, you can't wronged your concubine!"
"The ginseng soup you sent is poisonous!"
"Is there such a thing?" The queen pretended to be surprised, "Someone must have bribed the people in the imperial dining room to poison Lao Qi, this kid is relying on the identity of the seventh prince, relying on the 100,000 army in the north of the town, and he is not a little bullying outside, I guess someone is taking revenge on him." ”
"How can the queen be sure that it is me?"
Hearing this, the queen's back stiffened, and she turned her head bluntly, and when she saw Yan Du walking in, her eyes widened suddenly, "You...... You ......"
"Thanks to Niangniang, I didn't drink that bowl of poisonous ginseng soup."
The queen clenched her fists and restrained her expression as naturally as possible, "That, that's great." ”
"Actually, Niangniang wants to harm me, I can understand it, after all, my existence is really in the way of the fourth brother, but my father, you have been married to him for so many years, you are too ruthless."
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Yan Du smiled, "What did the queen do, but she wants to ask me?" ”
"You want to wronged the palace and poisoned the emperor!"
Yan Du let out a long sigh, walked behind the emperor and stood still, glanced at the queen with sarcastic eyes, and then lowered his eyes.
"The Emperor's ......"
"Get on your knees!" The emperor shouted angrily.
The queen pursed her lips, and seeing that the emperor's face was pale, she still knelt down first.
"Your handmaid has already confessed, do you want her to confront you face to face?"
"This ...... She must have been bought. ”
"The imperial kitchen was also confessed by the imperial chef you bought, and he was also bought?"
"Please let the emperor know."
"Good, good!" The emperor nodded, looked up at Shangguan Xu, "The fourth can be brought." ”
"It's in the torture chamber."
"Let him confess honestly, if there is any concealment, he will be punished!"
"Yes!"
As soon as she heard this, the queen was anxious, "Your Majesty, he is your sister-in-law, if he is injured, you will have no successor!" ”
"What is the use of murdering my sister-in-law!"
"The concubine and the fourth child never thought of murdering the emperor!"
"My bowl of ginseng soup is also poisonous, how do you explain it?"
Hearing this, the queen's eyes widened suddenly, and she said excitedly: "No, it can't be! ”
"It's a shame that the official overseer caught the palace maid and forced him to find out the truth, otherwise my father and I would have been poisoned to death at this moment." Yan Du sighed and pretended to be sad, "Niangniang hates me, I always knew it, but what about my father, why do you hate him so much, isn't it because he loves the dream nobleman and makes you jealous?" ”
"You!"
"Tsk, that's it, you shouldn't be so ruthless." Yan Du shook his head.
The queen took a few breaths to calm herself down, she lowered her eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, please think about it carefully, if I really want to poison one old seventh, it is enough to poison one old seventh, and there is only the fourth child left under your knees, and this throne will be hiss sooner or later." And now the situation in the court, the fourth child can't suppress it at all, if I hurt you, it will be equivalent to harming myself and Lao Tzu, this kind of stupid thing, I won't do it. ”
The queen calmed down and said this remark, revealing a bit of truth, and the emperor really listened to it.
He thought for a moment and said, "Can you admit that you poisoned Lao Qi?" ”
The queen pursed her lips, "Concubine...... admit it, but the concubine only ordered them to poison Lao Qi's bowl of ginseng soup, maybe they were confused! ”
The evidence was in front of her, and she couldn't help it if she didn't admit it.
"You—You're so bold!" The emperor shouted angrily.
"The concubine knows that she is wrong, please punish the emperor, but this matter has nothing to do with the fourth child, he doesn't know, please don't implicate your anger on him." The queen kowtowed repeatedly.
The corners of Yan Dui's mouth twitched, admitting that poisoning him was a lesser sin than poisoning the emperor, especially since he was not dead, and the emperor might make a big deal smaller in order to take care of the royal face.
The queen is reckless, but not too stupid.
The emperor pondered the queen's words, and his anger slowly subsided.
"You're so confused."
"The concubine gave birth to three sons-in-law for you, and the eldest and third died one after another, leaving only the fourth. The concubine is also a beloved son, and begged the emperor for forgiveness, but the concubine knew that she was wrong. There is also Lao Qi, this palace can't live it, but this palace is your mother-in-law, so you can help this palace say good things to the emperor. ”
Yan Du almost laughed angrily, wanting to poison him and ask him to help say good things, this queen is really thick-skinned, but she is really smart, if he doesn't care, the emperor will naturally get off the donkey down the slope when he sees his attitude, and he won't delve into it.
Yan Dui's mind turned, and he turned to the emperor and said: "Father, the life of the son is not a pity, as long as the queen mother does not harm you, it is not a big sin." Ask my father to spare the queen, first, for the country, and secondly, for our family. ”
The emperor turned his head to look at Yan Dui, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's not in vain for my father's teachings these days, you are sensible." ”
"Then let's not pursue this matter."
"If you can't ignore it, then punish the queen for introspection behind closed doors for three months."
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness has confessed, the Queen once conspired with him to poison you and His Royal Highness the Seventh, he advised the Queen, I don't want the Queen not to listen, and said that this matter has nothing to do with him."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Shangguan Xu came in to report and interrupted him.
"So it's not that it's confused, it's that she really wants to poison me!" The emperor gritted his teeth and said.
