Chapter 18: The Poisoner Found
Gu Ning felt that there was something wrong with the fragrance, how could a piece of ancient good jade be contaminated with the smell of women's incense powder, but the situation was more chaotic at that time, so she didn't think about it.
I never thought that I would smell this fragrance again, let alone that this fragrance would be on Yuhua's body.
Gu Ning frowned, the corners of her lips hooked, and her eyes became quite amused when she looked at Ruoxi.
He immediately stood up and said to the Queen Mother: "Empress Dowager, the courtiers have found the person who poisoned her." ”
"Found it? How long have you been in this palace before you have a clue? ”
The people present didn't expect her to suddenly come up with such a sentence, and the Queen Mother was even more puzzled.
"This kind of thing, how dare the courtiers deceive the queen mother." Gu Ning remained silent and looked up at Ruoxi slightly.
In her previous life, she had dealt with Ruoxi, so she naturally knew her better.
At this moment, she glanced at Yuhua very unnaturally, and Gu Ning knew that there was definitely a ghost in her heart.
Yuhua's expression at the moment was even more unnatural, and her palms were already sweating.
Ruoxi didn't know why Gu Ning suddenly mentioned the poisoning, and was slightly jealous of Gu Ning, so she stood up at the moment, pretended to sneer, glanced at Gu Ning with disdain, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Ruoxi came to see you, and went back first after making sure you were okay, and just now my father asked me to copy a poem and send it to him." ”
This reason is really a bit far-fetched, Ruoxi is notoriously disobedient to discipline, where will he be honest and obedient to copy poems.
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, probably a little reluctant to let her go, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Gu Ning saw this meeting, and the thoughts in his heart were even more convinced.
Thinking that this Yuhua is just a maidservant, naturally she will not have great hostility towards her, so it is her master who instigates it.
If Ruoxi had stayed calmer and hadn't been in such a hurry to leave and escape, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been so confident, but isn't this scene already the best proof of this?
However, the Queen Mother did not suspect Ruoxi.
Gu Ning naturally couldn't let her go like this, if she was allowed to leave at this moment, I was afraid that she would destroy something that was beneficial to the truth.
If you want to investigate this case again in the future, it will not be easy.
Gu Ning thought like this, and immediately walked over to her and said, "Is this a weak heart of the county lord?" I don't know if when the county lord was poisoned, did he ever think that there would be today? County Lord, why did you poison the Queen Mother and blame me? ”
The Queen Mother looked at the demeanor of the two, as if she didn't realize anything, and didn't speak.
This was said lightly, and there was even a smile on his face, but everyone who heard it knew that if he answered this sentence carelessly, it would be a catastrophe.
Ruoxi didn't seem to expect Gu Ning to dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother, let alone that the Queen Mother didn't defend her, so she immediately panicked, became angry, and flicked her sleeves and said, "Is the daughter of the dignified prime minister so unruly?" Not to mention that you poisoned and murdered the Queen Mother, you slandered the county lord like this, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
Slander?
It's not a shame to use this word at all.
Gu Ning knew that this was not the time to argue with Ruoxi, so she immediately knelt down towards the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother is clear, the courtiers will naturally not slander the county lord without evidence, please ask the Queen Mother to issue an order to announce that Imperial Doctor Hu will meet you, and the truth about the poisoning will be revealed immediately." ”
"Someone, Imperial Doctor Xuanhu."
Perhaps Ruoxi's acting skills were too clumsy, which made the Queen Mother suspicious, but she agreed to Gu Ning's proposal without hesitation.
