The relatives and women of the full hall were also stunned.

In the end, it was Princess Zhou who was the first to react: "Someone poisoned!" Where are the left and right guards?! ”

This sound landed, and the time in the main hall came to life in an instant, and a few moments later, the left and right guards who were escorting outside rushed into the hall and protected the Son of Heaven.

Looking at the full hall of clans and women, there are those who are silent and screaming, those who are crying in a low voice, those who are at a loss, and those who are at a loss and don't know what to do.

Ying Zheng's face was also a little pale, and after calming down, he said sharply: "Silence! The left and right guards have been escorted in the palace, don't worry about everything, if there is any more crying and screaming, drag it out immediately! ”

This sound directly covered the sound of the whole hall, and the sound of crying and discussion stopped.

Ying Zheng saw that the situation had stabilized, so he continued: "You guys, don't move on top of the original seats, carefully behave the people who are left and right, and the soup and dim sum you have eaten are all put in place. Tai Ping, immediately upload the imperial doctor! ”

He didn't need to tell him about it.

Taiping was already shrewd, and when he saw that there was a death at the palace banquet, even if he asked people to pass on the imperial doctor, such a grand ceremony, the Tai Hospital must have someone on duty.

The queen mother finally came back to her senses at this time, looking at the body of her mother in her arms, who had never lost her temperature, she felt heartache, and two lines of turbid tears rolled down her cheeks in an instant.

She is already an old man in her 60s this year, and Mrs. Feng is 8 out of 70, and she has a long life, but no matter how long her parents live, I am afraid that they will not be in a good mood when they see them passing, not to mention that Mrs. Feng did not die of illness, but died of poisoning!

The palace people and the chamberlains stood aside, wanting to hold the body of Mrs. Feng, but seeing that the queen mother couldn't stop crying and hugging her mother's body with grief-stricken appearance, she didn't dare to step forward after all.

The imperial physician on duty was hurriedly brought by the chamberlain, and when he saw this, he immediately took out a silver needle, and went to confess to the queen mother, and then used the silver needle to probe the faintly black blood on Mrs. Feng's lips.

The Queen Mother was the closest, and when she saw the silver needle turn black, her eyes flashed violently, and her hatred was monstrous.

The imperial doctor swallowed his saliva and said, "Returning to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, it is poison." ”

The people around him gasped.

This is a poison that only exists in the palace.

Almost at the same time, the queen mother's heart was stagnant, and she suddenly turned her gaze to Yingzheng, her expression so hideous that she almost wanted to devour her flesh.

Poison ......

This is the poison she intends to use on the Son of Heaven!

How dare this-

The eyes of the people in the clan are inevitably in constant contact between the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother.

Ying Zheng was looking at the Empress Dowager with hatred, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, his face immediately turned pale, and his expression was also a little hurt.

After a long while, Fang whispered to the imperial doctor, "Visit the palace again." ”

The imperial physician replied respectfully, and after probing one by one, he replied: "Only the bowl of lotus seed soup that Old Madam Feng ate was poisoned. ”

At this sound, the expressions of the people around him changed again.

Isn't it the Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven infighting?

The poison has been used, so why should he abandon the Empress Dowager to deal with Old Madam Feng?

The Empress Dowager's face couldn't help but flash a hint of hesitation.

Ying Zheng immediately decided: "Today's mother's birthday banquet has such a murder case, it must be bad, and please go to the side hall for the time being to suppress the shock-concubine!" ”

Feng Lanruo hurriedly got up and said, "Yes." ”

Ying Zheng instructed: "You accompany the clan relatives to rest for a day or two, and then find the imperial doctor to guard by your side, if you need it, try to meet it." ”

Feng Lanruo replied again: "Yes." ”

Ying Zheng ordered a few more people to come out: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Cheng, Concubine Wu, and Concubine Zheng, today's matter is full of suspicions, and it is even more heinous to dare to kill people at the birthday banquet in the palace. ”

The people who were pointed out were all clan elders, elderly and virtuous people, involved in their own family affairs, and were invited by the Son of Heaven, and there was no reason to shirk it, and the suspicions in the heart of the Queen Mother were also diluted again - the Son of Heaven did not mean to turn a big matter into a small matter, but seemed to be planning to investigate the case thoroughly, could it be that his mother's death really had nothing to do with him?

The sadness in my heart was a little, and doubts and uneasiness came to my heart.

If not him, who would it be?

Tears flowed silently down her cheeks, mottled the makeup on the queen mother's face, perhaps because of sadness, perhaps because of decadence, at this moment, she was full of old age.

Ying Zheng methodically summoned the people from the dining room and the small kitchen of Xingqing Palace.

The lotus seed soup was picked by the people in the dining room on the order of the queen mother, and after collecting it, it was sent to Xingqing Palace.

Those lotus seeds must not have a problem at this step.

Because it is impossible for the people in the dining room to inject poison into some lotus seeds, let alone guarantee that all the poisonous lotus seeds will be sent to Mrs. Feng's bowl.

The problem will only be in Xingqing Palace.

This is obviously difficult for the Queen Mother to accept.

The small kitchen used by the queen mother is responsible for cooking the lotus seed soup, and the person responsible for presenting the lotus seed soup to everyone in the palace is also the chamberlain of Xingqing Palace.

There is no doubt that by the time the person was found, the chamberlain had already taken his own offence, but at the same time, it was pointed out that the chamberlain had been in contact with the people around Concubine Zhang a few days earlier.

When the matter is found here, all the suspicions on Ying Zheng's body can be removed.

One is the son of today, and the other is the concubine of the first emperor, who would believe that there would be an implication between them?

There was no trace of blood on the queen mother's face, and her hands unconsciously grabbed the clothes on her body, and almost squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "Don't you take that slut?!" ”

Immediately, someone went to the side hall of Anfu Palace to find Concubine Zhang.

Although Concubine Zhang was called a concubine, she was very young, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, and even if she did not wear gorgeous makeup because of the death of the first emperor, she was still beautiful and beautiful.

When she was brought from the side hall, and without even interrogation, she confessed: "Yes, I did it." ”

Concubine Zhang met the hateful gaze of the Queen Mother, and was especially smiling: "Queen Mother, watching your loved ones die in front of you, is this a good feeling?" ”

Then she gritted her teeth with hatred, and her expression suddenly turned cold: "You can finally taste the pain of my day!" ”

The Queen Mother was furious: "You slut! How dare you, how dare you—"

Concubine Zhang snorted coldly, but did not look at her, her eyes swept over the faces of the acting king, the king of Cheng and the two princesses in turn, and her expression was fierce and sad: "You are all elders of the clan, you are old and virtuous, and you have something to ask you about the concubine today—but I don't know if it is owned by the Murong clan or the Feng clan today?" ”

Several people exchanged glances with suspicious expressions, and finally the longest-ranking Zongzheng Dynasty Wang said solemnly: "Naturally, it is the world of my Murong clan!" ”

"Okay, since that's the case, please be sure to listen to the concubine's grievances!"

Concubine Zhang replied angrily, then lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt in front of the acting king: "Uncle Daiwang, you are the elder of the clan, and you are the head of the dynasty. The concubine is the concubine of the first emperor, and today I call you Uncle Wang with a shy face, and please look at the face of the first emperor and make the decision for the concubine and the princes and princesses who died in vain! ”

The acting king never thought that Concubine Zhang hit the princes and princesses who died early in the first emperor, and he was immediately shocked when he heard this, and he didn't know what to do for a while: "You, this ......"

Concubine Zhang didn't give him time to continue to be dumbfounded, crying blood and tears like rain: "Before the death of the first emperor, the concubine was also fortunate to conceive a prince for the first emperor, how happy was the first emperor at that time? It's just that the prince landed and died on the second day......"

This is something that everyone in the clan knows.

At that time, Concubine Zhang was Shuyuan, after the death of the first emperor, because she had given birth to a prince, the successor to the throne promoted her to Concubine De, but the palace people used to omit the word "De" and call it the concubine.

In other words, if the prince born to Concubine Zhang survives, I am afraid that at this time, I am afraid that there will be no son today, but the two palaces will stand side by side, and Concubine Zhang and the empress dowager will be respected as the empress dowager.

When Concubine Zhang said this, she couldn't cry, and after a while, she continued: "At that time, the concubine only thought that she was blessed and couldn't keep the prince, so she didn't think much about it, and this demon woman pretended to be sorry, and she was comforted by a lot of persuasion, because the concubine didn't see her wolf ambitions, and regarded her as a close relative!" It wasn't until after ascending the throne today, when the concubine lived in the side hall of Xingqing Palace, that she was accidentally shocked to hear that when the concubine was pregnant, this demon woman was secretly poisoned, causing the prince to be in the womb insufficient, and the descendants of the previous emperor died at the hands of the demon woman! ”

How can these rhetoric be compared to the thunder?

When the empress dowager heard that she had pinned herself on the grave crime of destroying the door, she was so angry that she could not sit still, and said sharply: "Talking nonsense! openly committed murder at the palace banquet, and she herself admitted it - if she doesn't kill this slut, when will she be?! ”

It's just that the truth revealed by Concubine Zhang is too terrifying, and for a while, no one in the palace made a sound.

The acting king changed color, and the other three clans and concubines were also surprised.

After a while, the acting king said: "The stakes are very high, do you have any evidence?" ”

The Empress Dowager said almost hoarsely: "Uncle Wang! ”

Concubine Zhang immediately said: "It has been a long time since the incident, where is there any evidence?" ”

However, without waiting for the king to frown and the queen mother's face to loosen, she continued: "After the prince was born, he had blue spots on his body, which is evidence of the residual poison in his body, and the concubine dressed in a person has inquired about the grandmother who has served in the palace for a long time, and many princes and princesses in the past, even the eldest princess Chongqing, have died before!" If it is not caused by poisoning, how can it be explained? ”

She looked at Ying Zheng almost pleadingly: "The concubine wants to ask Your Majesty and Uncle Wang to be the master, open the prince and princess cemetery, and let you know it after a test." When the first emperor was there, the white-haired people sent the black-haired people several times, so that the blood was exhausted, and the gods were broken and died, this demon woman cut off the heirs of the first emperor, and her hands were stained with the blood of the emperor's heirs, how could she continue to entrench in Xingqing Palace and show off her might? It should be cut by a thousand knives and razed the nine clans of the Feng clan to comfort the first emperor! ”

This time, Mo said that it was the queen mother, and even the tone of the king hesitated: "The mausoleum of the princes and princesses, although it is not the emperor's mausoleum, but it is buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor. ”

Concubine Zhang said: "But this is the only clear proof, if not, does Uncle Dai want to make the first emperor hate Jiuquan, and the princes and princesses all die in vain?!" ”

Speaking of this, she even took a step back and swore to the sky, with a fierce voice: "Among the many heirs of the first emperor, the son of the concubine and the princess of Chongqing died the latest, and the concubine body asked to open the coffins of these two people for autopsy - only the coffins of these two people!" If these two people are not poisoned, they can cut the concubine's body with thousands of knives and raze the nine clans of the Zhang family! ”

This oath is too poisonous and too extreme, and there is really not half a room left.

For a moment, the acting king also hesitated.

And suspicion and speculation arise spontaneously - will Concubine Zhang use her life and the lives of the Nine Clans to frame the Queen Mother?

This is not something out of nothing, as long as the coffin is opened, everything will be revealed.

Princess Zheng and Princess Wu also secretly exchanged glances.

The Empress Dowager sat slumped on the seat, her chest rose and fell violently, and she gasped with fright: "You, you dare to climb the first emperor like this and slander the reputation of the palace?!" ”

Concubine Zhang immediately said: "In this case, please don't stop the opening of the coffin, just check the bodies of my son and Princess Chongqing, and immediately cut the concubine's body with a thousand knives and kill my nine clans of the Zhang family to vent their anger, isn't it happy?!" ”

The Queen Mother was speechless: "You! ”

Concubine Zhang stared at her deadly, her eyes as sharp as a knife: "Queen Mother, you won't be a thief, right?!" ”

The Empress Dowager's fingers couldn't help but clench, but she softened her breath slightly: "Zhang, this palace knows that you have broken your liver and intestines due to the pain of losing your son, but this is definitely not the reason for you to disturb the imperial tomb." Do you see that when you sit on the throne today, you can't help but start thinking about what would happen if your child survived? But after all, he who has gone has gone, so why should you disturb his spirit, and make him terrified under the earth? ”

Concubine Zhang suddenly laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, sharp and almost piercing.

"Feng Minghua, you!"

She called the Queen Mother by name: "My child is my own flesh and blood born in October, do I want him to be uneasy?!" What kind of hatred do I have with Princess Chongqing, do I have to disturb her peace?! ”

Concubine Zhang thumped her heart, and her voice was like a cuckoo crying blood: "I am also a mother, and now I ask to dig up the grave of my own flesh and blood and open his coffin, my heart hurts more than anyone else!" But even so, I'm going to open the coffin! Let his child die unjustly, and the coming day will come to the bottom, how can I see him, how can I see the first emperor?! ”

The queen mother's lips trembled a few times, and before she could speak, Concubine Zhang wiped away the tears on her face and walked to the front of the acting king: "Uncle Daiwang, King Cheng, and the two princesses - the concubine has spoken to such a point, but the demon woman still does not dare to open the coffin. ”

King Cheng was silent, and when Princess Zheng and Princess Wu saw that the Queen Mother blindly blocked her, they already had a judgment in their hearts.

The acting king slowly looked at the queen mother: "The queen mother ...... mother"

The Empress Dowager only felt cold hands and feet, but she bit a little: "The deceased has passed away, why is it because of Zhang's nonsense and disturbing their peace?" That's the mausoleum of the first emperor, this matter must not be done! ”

Concubine Zhang laughed, but it was difficult to hide the sadness in the laughter: "Sure enough, sure enough!" You don't dare, you're afraid, hahahaha! ”

Although the acting king is Zongzheng, he can't dig the tomb of the imperial tomb just based on Concubine Zhang's words, but seeing that the queen mother is like this, he has already believed most of what Concubine Zhang said......

After hesitating again and again, he stood up and solemnly said to the Son of Heaven, who had been silent since Concubine Zhang's opening: "What should be done in this matter, please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment." ”

King Cheng and the two princesses also left the table and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment." ”
