Chapter 21: Guilt
Gu Ning's words scared Gonggong Li a lot, and hurriedly showed his loyalty to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the slave is loyal to you, although the slave is holding the brocade box all the way, but he has never opened it at all, please enlighten the emperor!" ”
The emperor waved his hand, he naturally would not suspect Gonggong Li, who had served by his side for decades, besides, Gonggong Li was the head of the eunuchs, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, how could he collude with a yellow-haired girl to frame the lord of the county.
"Say it." The emperor raised the shelf, held the hem of the dragon robe in one hand, and walked to Ruoxi, "Why do you want to harm the Queen Mother?" On weekdays, you come and go freely in the palace, relying on the Queen Mother to spoil you, you have the audacity to poison the Queen Mother, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
Ruoxi was completely stupid, stunned and didn't know what to say.
This medicine was given by Ning Juan'er, but her original intention was just to embarrass Gu Ning, but she didn't expect to hurt the Queen Mother.
But she must not say this, otherwise she will have no place in Beijing in the future, but if she doesn't say this, she will have to bear the charge of murdering the Queen Mother.
"Ruoxi, the Queen Mother loves you very much on weekdays, why did you murder the Queen Mother?"
When the emperor saw that Ruoxi did not speak, his voice was raised in vain.
Ruoxi was frightened, but still denied: "It's not me who poisoned, it's not me who ......"
The emperor couldn't help but be angry, and pointed to Ruoxi and said, "If you don't admit it, I can call King Rui over and let him come to ask you in person!" I want to see how he educates his daughter. ”
Ruoxi bit her lower lip tightly, as if she was struggling with something, and finally, turned her head with difficulty and looked at Yuhua beside her.
Yuhua met her gaze suddenly, her heart trembled, and she gritted her teeth and nodded silently.
The emperor was about to get angry, Yuhua pounced on her knees and confessed her guilt for her master, "Your Majesty, everything was done by slaves!" ”
Chu Yanhui, who had been sitting on the wall and watching, raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes when he saw Yuhua taking the blame for Ruoxi.
It's a brave and faithful good minion!
"The poison is under the slave maid, my county lord has always been at odds with Miss Gu, the slave and maid want to be angry for the county lord, and deliberately blame her, the brocade box is also placed in the county lord's room by the slave and maid, everything is the slave and maid's own opinion, please ask the emperor to condemn!"
Yuhua trembled with fear, but still took all the blame on herself word by word.
Gu Ning was not surprised that Yuhua would take the blame, but it was a pity that such a loyal person fell into a situation of no recovery because he followed the wrong master.
"A little maidservant dares to murder the prime minister's daughter, who gave you the guts?"
Chu Yanhuo didn't care about Gu Ning, but this matter must not be as simple as it seems, thinking to see if she could scare Yuhua and let her tell the mastermind behind the scenes.
"No, no one asked the slave to do this, the slave just couldn't get used to Miss Gu stealing the limelight from my young lady, and she was confused for a while, so she came up with such a solution......"
Yuhua sobbed, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, she was obviously scared to death, but she still didn't let go, and she insisted that it was her mistake to assert it.
"Oh? Then I'm curious, how can you get close to the Queen Mother and even have the opportunity to poison the gift I prepared for the Queen Mother? Gu Ning pressed forward step by step, leaving no room for Yuhua at all.
Yuhua's face turned pale when he was asked, and he was about to be overwhelmed, Ruoxi immediately reprimanded: "Yuhua, in vain I treat you so well on weekdays, you actually do such a thing, how can you be worthy of me?" Worthy of your father's nurturing grace! ”
