Chapter Thirty-Eight: Turning the Tide
In the Jinluan Palace, Song Wan was taken to the palace by the guards, looking at the powerful person who was high above, she was like a delusion for a while, she never thought of reliving a lifetime, and finally faced the saint as a prisoner at this level, heh, she was in conflict with this royal family....
"Ahem" saw that he didn't speak or salute since he came in, so he just knew that he was standing in the center of the hall stupidly and didn't know what he was thinking... Seeing this, Gao Gonggong couldn't help but remind him softly.
"The people's daughter sees the emperor"
"Excuse me," he looked at the calm appearance of the people below, and then said, "Song Wan, do you know what I want to do when I call you?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the people know it."
"Oh?" Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't expect her to admit it so sincerely, "Did you participate in the Showa Palace incident earlier?" ”
"Your Majesty, the folk girl was just invited by the lady to go to the Showa Palace to participate in the flower banquet that day, as for other things, the folk girl didn't know anything, I hope the emperor will see it."
"The jade concubine has arrived" and "The concubine sees the emperor"
"No courtesy. Aifei, what did you find out about the Showa Palace? ”
The "emperor" glanced at Song Wan and Imperial Physician Lu who were standing at the bottom, and Concubine Yu was surprised that the two of them appeared here at the same time, was there anything else she didn't have time to know? "The concubine has recently sent someone to strictly investigate and arrest the suspect that day, but so far nothing has been found. As for the other people present, they all seemed to have said that they had seen a figure appear in the side hall, this..."The jade concubine looked at Song Wan meaningfully, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines really don't know what to do, I hope the emperor will decide." ”
Oh, a good trick to stay out of the matter, this jade concubine is worthy of being a smart person, and the method of four or two thousand catties of words has been refined to perfection, and she will remove herself in a few words, and she will not be able to find fault with it.... Thinking of this, Song Wan's eyes darkened, although she knew that it was basically a fantasy to pull Concubine Yu off the stage based on today's situation alone, but since she finally made this start, even if she couldn't let her be ruined, she had to pull out her right-hand man....
"Your Majesty, Weichen requested that the corpse of the person who had died that day be presented in the main hall, and after the true identity was verified, it would be possible to find out whether there was comfrey poison, and it would also give the case a direction."
Comfrey poison? Why did this Imperial Physician Lu know about the existence of comfrey poison, could it be.... Concubine Yu looked at Song Wan with slightly squinted eyes, and seeing her confident expression, she knew that this woman was really not to be underestimated, and it seemed that she was underestimating the enemy!
"Well, Imperial Doctor Lu is right! Someone came, and brought the body up, and opened the coffin for an autopsy. ”
"Yes".....
When Imperial Physician Lu uncovered the white cloth, his face was corroded by something and it was difficult to see clearly, only vaguely from the clothing, he should also be one of the palace maids in the palace...."Emperor Qiqi, this person was poisoned by comfrey and died, and then was thrown into the lake. "After investigating for so many years, there is finally the whereabouts of comfrey poison, and Imperial Doctor Lu is so excited that he even trembles slightly when he speaks.
"What do you mean by that?"
According to Wei Chen's opinion, although this person's face was blurred, his nails were brownish-red, and bumpy bumps began to appear under his neck, which were all symptoms that would only occur three days after being poisoned by comfrey. The murderer must have thought that the biggest feature of comfrey poison was on the face, so he did everything possible to discredit his face, but in fact, the most conspicuous and most often overlooked symptom of comfrey poison was exactly like the characteristics that appeared within three days of this person's death." Weichen was brave and hoped that the emperor would order a strict investigation, including the people of Showa Palace. ”
"Imperial Doctor Lu, what do you mean by this, do you mean that this palace can't shield the murderer?"
"Weichen doesn't dare, it's just that the stakes are high, and I hope Niangniang can understand."
"The Emperor"
"Aifei, since you are open-minded, why should you be afraid of this search? Besides, the comfrey poison did kill a lot of people back then, even Mrs. Lu was among them, I believe that Imperial Doctor Lu is also a loving wife and will be a little unscrupulous, but I have absolute trust in my concubine, you can rest assured" When the words fell, the emperor instructed the people on the side: "Gao Fu, take people to Showa Palace, remember, check carefully, don't 'wrong' any innocent person this time." ”
"Yes, the old slave obeys."
In the main hall, the four of them were trapped in their own thoughts, waiting for the "truth" that was about to come out to come back...."Your Majesty"
"How?"
"Your Majesty, there is indeed a foreign body."
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Lu stepped forward first and took the items wrapped in the sachet from Gonggong Gao, poured out a few strokes of powder from it and tried it with a silver needle, only to see that the end of the needle quickly turned black, "Your Majesty, it is indeed comfrey poison." ”
"Can you be sure?"
"Yes, Weichen is not talented, in the past few years, he has deliberately studied one or two for comfrey poison, and found that in addition to its strong toxicity, the strange fragrance on its body is also one of its biggest characteristics. Now it just matches this thing one by one. ”
"Gao Fu, what's going on?"
"Emperor Qi, this thing was found in the room of a palace maid named Su Qing in Showa Palace, this person is now waiting outside the palace, Your Majesty, look"
"Call someone in."
"Yes".....
Comfrey venom found? Song Wan frowned lightly, this was not in her plan, but now it seems that someone thought of going with her.....
"Mother, save me! Sissy"
"Presumptuous, above the main hall, how can you be allowed to cry here! Don't kneel yet! ”
Su Qing, who was escorted, knelt in the center of the main hall, looking at the supreme power above, and did not dare to look at him at all, "Song Wan, this is the palace maid you are talking about?" ”
"Back to the emperor, exactly."
"What are you talking about? The emperor has been wronged, the slave has never seen this person, Niangniang, Niangniang"
"Shut up" knew that there had to be a trade-off, Yu Guifei quickly walked in front of her, raised her hand and slapped her hard, "The emperor is above, you dare to openly hide poison in the palace and harm people's lives at will?" Su Qing, you have disappointed the palace too much" After saying that, Concubine Yu turned around and knelt down, changed into a look of tears, and said: "Your Majesty, everything is due to the poor control of the concubines, so that the people under your command will commit such a heinous crime, and I hope the emperor will forgive the sins." ”
"Niangniang"
"Su Qing, you have been with this palace since you were a child, but did you think about your family when you killed innocents indiscriminately? Have you ever wondered if they will be implicated by you? This palace is so sad today, you really shouldn't be! ”
Hearing this, Su Qing couldn't say anything to beg for mercy, just as Concubine Yu said, she has been by her side since she was a child, so she is very clear about her meaning, if she wants her family to be healthy, she can only choose to shut up, at this moment, as an outcast, she has no room to resist..."Niangniang, Su Qing is sorry for you." Your Majesty, the slave and maid confessed their guilt, and everything was done by the slave and maid, and had nothing to do with anyone else. ”
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, the person will be temporarily detained in the Imperial Prison and wait for the verdict after the autumn."
"Yes."
After being taken down, Concubine Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this Su Qing is a smart person, it's a pity! "Your Majesty, Concubine"
"Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion in this matter, Su Qing is just a substitute ghost who was pushed out, and the person behind it is the biggest murderer, the emperor"
"That's enough, I've already made up my mind, you don't need to say any more, step down."
It is useless to know that it is useless to talk about it, Imperial Doctor Lu can only give up for the time being, anyway, now he knows that the matter of comfrey poison has nothing to do with the Showa Palace, and he still has time to investigate it slowly..."Yes, Weichen retired. ”
"Concubine retirement" When she passed by Song Wan's side, Concubine Yu glanced at her lightly, secretly wrote down this person's name in her heart, and slowly stepped out of the palace...."Ask Qi'er to come to Showa Palace, and the palace has something to say to him." ”
"Yes"......
"Song Wan, you have good skills!" Seeing that there were no other outsiders in the hall, and the emperor was no longer hiding, he simply said straight to the point: "Today's battle is beautiful." ”
"Thank you for the emperor's false praise, it's just that the people's daughter didn't do anything, everything is because she believes that the emperor's law is above and will never wronged anyone, so she dares to be so calm. In this way, the emperor is discerning and wise. ”
"Haha, I know now, why Chen'er has a soft spot for you, you are a rare virtuous helper, but it's a pity, you are Song Wan, just Song Wan."
"Your Majesty?"
"It's okay, you can step back too, I'm tired."
"Yes, the people's daughter retires" Although she doesn't understand what the emperor's words mean, she doesn't dare to make a mistake here, so she can only retreat first and make plans later....
"Gao Fu"
"The Old Slave Is There"
"Song Wan, what do you think?"
"The old slave didn't dare to say anything."
"It doesn't matter, even if it is."
"Yes, according to the old slave's opinion, Miss Song is resourceful, neither humble nor arrogant in the face of power, and still has a way to take precautions and turn things around in the face of difficulties, but she is quite a general."
"Is it worthy of the great responsibility of being the mother of a country?"
"The old slave didn't mean that" As soon as these words came out, Gao Fu was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, and kept saying: "The emperor forgives his sins"
"Hehe, I'm just kidding, you're so nervous, get up."
"Emperor Xie" Gao Fu got up and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the tension in his heart did not completely disappear, he could only wait cautiously, he was really like a tiger!
"However, people from the royal family can't have weaknesses, I want to see how Chen'er copies! Hehe, interesting, really funny"
.........
Outside the palace, Song Wan looked at Qianying who got off the carriage of the Xiao Mansion, her eyes narrowed, she almost forgot that there was also the existence of Yao Xuetang, a troublesome character...."Miss Song"
"Miss Yao"
Looking behind her, and seeing that there were no guards to follow, he guessed that she should be fine, "Congratulations Miss Song, this catastrophe has passed, and there will be good fortune waiting for you in the future." ”
"Thank you Miss Yao for your words, I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
"Miss Song"
Looking at her as if she wanted to speak and stopped, Song Wan frowned, and said a little impatiently: "Miss Yao still has something?" ”
"Well, there have been a lot of rumors lately that I'm with four.... Eh, in short, everything is nothing, Miss Song, don't take it to heart. ”
"There is no need for Miss Yao to worry about this, I have always trusted Beichen, and the gossip of outsiders will not have any effect, thank you Miss Yao for caring about us" After saying that, Song Wan got into the carriage and left from Xiaofu, leaving Yao Xuetang in the wind, and her eyes slowly flashed a touch of ruthlessness.....
