Chapter 3: Framing

The guards outside the door stepped forward and prepared to take Huo Jiuge away, but they didn't even touch her sleeves and were dodged by her.

"Even if I didn't marry you, but I am the daughter of the Huo family, and after I am a hero, what qualifications do you have to put me to death?" Huo Jiuge said coldly,

Everyone present was shocked, everyone did not expect that Miss Huo, who had always been timid, would dare to say such a thing to the third prince, and she didn't dare to step forward for a while, so she could only listen to the master's next fate.

Xiao Chengji didn't pay attention to the person in front of him, he just sneered, and then said disdainfully: "Now that you have done such a wrong thing, let alone execute you, the entire Huo family will be buried with you!" ”

He pressed towards Huo Jiuge step by step, as if he wanted to lead her to a dead end.

But Huo Jiuge didn't fall for him, she didn't panic at all, but raised her head and said: "As long as Dali Temple doesn't convict me for a day, I will be innocent." Even if you are a prince, you are not qualified to set up a private court!"

Xiao Chengji has lived in the praise of the stars since he was a child, and no one has ever dared to disobey him, let alone the word qualification in front of him.

Huo Jiuge completely angered him this time, he stepped forward and grabbed her neck, and then warned her word by word: "What if you are innocent?" This king wants you to die, who dares to stop me? ”

As he spoke, he increased the strength in his hand, and Huo Jiuge became more and more out of breath.

Just as the moment came, a majestic voice sounded from behind the two: "What are you doing here!"

As soon as the emperor had to finish handling government affairs, he heard the news that the queen was critically ill, and when he rushed over, he saw such a scene: Xiao Chengji pinched Huo Jiuge's neck, and no one in the palace stopped him, allowing him to be powerful.

And Xiao Chengji was so frightened that the strength in his hand instantly weakened, Huo Jiuge saw the opportunity to break free, ran to the emperor and knelt down, begging him to make the decision for himself.

Xiao Chengji was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the emperor to come over so early, nor did he expect Huo Jiuge, a slut, to beat him up, and when he reacted, he had already been questioned by the emperor.

"Your mother is seriously ill, as her son, do you care so much about your mother?" The emperor's eyes on Xiao Chengji were a little hateful, and he cared more about the majesty of the royal family than the queen's injury.

Only then did Xiao Chengji realize that he had fallen into Huo Jiuge's trap, and his father was so angry, he must have heard what he just said.

"Father, don't be deceived by this girl, the reason why Erchen treated her like this is because she wants to murder her mother, if I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid she would have succeeded."

Xiao Chengji turned the spearhead to Huo Jiuge, claiming that he had seen her assassinate the queen with his own eyes.

But as soon as his words fell, Huo Jiuge said that he had been wronged.

"The queen mother has always treated me leniently on weekdays, knowing that the courtiers have lost their parents since childhood, so they summoned me to the palace and taught me the rules in person, in order to let me learn the holy virtues of my ancestors, so that I can marry into the palace in the future, I am too late to be grateful, how can I murder the queen mother?"

When the emperor saw that what she said was reasonable, he was just about to frown, but he heard Xiao Chengji's voice: "You are talking nonsense - I have long told my mother that I will not marry you, all this is just your wishful thinking." ”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face immediately changed, and the expression on his face began to become unpredictable.

It's a pity that Xiao Zeji didn't realize this, and he continued: "You must be dissatisfied because I rejected you, so you deliberately hurt my mother, in order to take revenge on me......"

"Lord Wang said cautiously-" Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jiuge stopped him in a loud voice: "Although you are a noble man, Lord Wang, I, Huo Jiuge, am just an ordinary woman, but I am not the kind of ruthless person you say." In the past, I was young, coupled with the early death of my parents, and no one taught me the rules, so I did some misleading things, but I am by no means the kind of person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix. ”

These words stunned everyone present, including the emperor.

Huo Jiuge is soft and timid on weekdays, and he has never said it out loud, he is a well-behaved and easy to handle, how could he ever speak so harshly?

still remember when she jumped into the icy lake just to make Xiao Chengji happy, how did she become what she is now?

Xiao Chengji snorted coldly, "Who knows if you deliberately said this in order to excuse yourself?" ”

"Even if you don't like me, you don't have to deliberately say that I am so unbearable. Although I, Huo Jiuge, as a woman, can't go into battle to kill the enemy like my father and brother and be loyal to the country, I can't be slandered in vain, even if I cut my hair and become a nun, I can't marry someone who looks down on me under the green light! ”

Huo Jiuge's words were loud, and everyone present was stunned.

Xiao Chengji wanted to continue to refute her words, but was stopped by the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Huo Jiuge, who was kneeling in front of him, and he didn't know where the girl had faded from being coquettish and youthful, and the shadow of her father Huo Xin could be vaguely seen between her eyebrows.

It is said that the son is like the mother and the daughter is ruthless like the father, and it seems that the little girl in front of her is not the weak and incompetent person in everyone's mouth.

Thinking of his relationship with Huo Xin, the emperor did not deliberately make it difficult for her, but first found the imperial doctor to treat the queen, and then questioned the two in person.

"Since you said that the queen's poisoning has nothing to do with you, then why are you here?" After all, the emperor is the person who successfully ascended the throne in the Eight Kings, and he was born with a temperament that makes people surrender, if he was a bystander, he would have been scared and didn't know what to say, even Xiao Chengji, who is the prince, usually doesn't dare to have too much communication with him, and the friendship between father and son is greater than the etiquette of the monarch and ministers.

Huo Jiuge was calm, she said that she only learned that the queen was critically ill, and the imperial doctors in the palace were all sent to deal with the plague and were not in the palace, and she had read through some medical books, which could temporarily stabilize the queen's condition.

Hearing that she knew how to heal, the emperor's brows frowned slightly, and he seemed to be a little curious about her.

It stands to reason that as a young lady from a famous family, she should learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why did she study medical books?

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Huo Jiuge then said: "The poison in the queen's mother is a highly poisonous poison from the Western Regions - wolf poison weed, this poison is colorless and tasteless, if it is eaten by mistake, it will fall asleep for a day; On the second day, the high fever continued, and when the toxin spread to the internal organs, he would die on the third day. ”

As soon as her words fell, Xiao Chengji immediately pointed at her and scolded: "You are talking nonsense! My queen mother obviously drank the decoction you boiled to become like this, and the person who poisoned it was clearly you. Now that the human and material evidence is there, you still dare to quibble! ”

As he spoke, he was about to take out the saber he was carrying and slash at Huo Jiuge, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.

Huo Jiuge could only hide behind the emperor in order to save her life, perhaps she didn't expect her to be like this, Xiao Chengji's sword was pointed directly at the emperor with her movement.

This is a great disrespect!

By the time he reacted, the things in his hands had been snatched away by the guards, and the whole person was slumped on the ground like soft mud, as if he had lost his soul.

He was so frightened that he couldn't even finish his words, and only said: "Father...... Erchen ...... Not intentionally ......"

Although the emperor's face did not show anything, his voice was already slightly gloomy, he ignored Xiao Chengji, but turned to ask the queen's palace maid on the side: "Is what he said true?" ”

The palace maid Suohu replied: "The queen mother did drink the decoction boiled by Miss Huo before she suddenly felt unwell......"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the imperial doctor who rushed over, and seeing his panicked look, presumably the queen's condition was not optimistic.

Sure enough, what he said was not much different from what Huo Jiuge said before, the queen was indeed poisoned by the wolf poison weed.

"This poison is unique to the Western Regions, it is very dangerous, if it is not treated by the masters, the queen mother is now more than lucky."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Huo Jiuge, because she was the master in the mouth of the imperial doctor.
