"Your Highness, it's time to drink the medicine. ”

Just as the empress was carefully looking at the rare spirit Gu in her hand, a voice sounded, but it was the grandmother beside Nie Xinyu, holding a medicine bowl in her hand and presenting it.

Nie Xinyu has been living on medicine all year round, and everyone knows it, so no one feels that there is anything wrong, and Nie Xinyu himself naturally picked up the medicine bowl and drank all the medicine in the bowl.

Qingchen looked at the scene in front of him, everyone's faces were calm, only the Seventh Imperial Maiden Nie Xinlin had a hint of panic in her eyes, her hands clenched into fists tightly and then released, her lips trembled a little, as if she was afraid of something.

But immediately, as if she had figured out something, Nie Xinlin calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes drifted over Nie Xinrou's body, and she seemed to have made up some kind of determination.

"This is really a spirit Gu, Rou'er has a clear mind, knowing that your eldest sister's illness is something I have always taken to heart, and now finding a spirit Gu will not only help Yu'er's condition, but also share my worries. The empress admired without hesitation, with a smile on her face, and let everyone praise the three empresses, Nie Xinrou, for her kindness and kindness.

"There is the third emperor sister Lao, this generous gift really touches me very much......" Nie Xinyu spoke, his eyes were full of gratitude, but as soon as he said this, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person convulsed, rolled his eyes, and then fainted and fell into the arms of the grandmother behind him.

This scene came unexpectedly, everyone didn't expect such a change, and everyone was stunned for a while, and they didn't react to what happened at all.

"Yu'er!" it was the empress who reacted first, looking at Nie Xinyu, who was already unconscious, and shouted loudly, "Come on, call the witch doctor to me-"

The doctors in southern Xinjiang are called witch doctors, there are folk witch doctors, there are also witch doctors who serve the royal family, they are proficient in medicine and witchcraft, and they do not use ordinary medicine treatment, but use Gu worms to cure diseases or conjuring spirits, so that patients can get better.

"Mother Emperor, seeing the eldest sister like this, it seems that she is poisoned, and someone wants to plot against the eldest sister!" Because Nie Xinyao knew Nie Xinlin's plan, she should speak first, attracting the empress's attention and letting the empress investigate the matter.

Sure enough, after listening to Nie Xinyao's words, the empress was furious and said, "Come on, check it for me, check it carefully, and you can't let go of any clues." I want to know who is so bold as to dare to poison me in front of me!"

"Mother Emperor, the son asks Ying to investigate this matter and find the truth for the eldest sister. Nie Xinyao spoke again, but she took the initiative to take the matter on herself.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll be sure to find out the truth. The Empress nodded in agreement.

"Mother Emperor, no!" Nie Xinlin, who had never spoken again, said, "The eldest emperor sister was poisoned, and everyone present was suspicious, including the sixth emperor sister, if you let the sixth emperor sister investigate, I'm afraid it's not to find out the truth, but to destroy the truth, right?"

"Seventh Emperor Sister, there must be evidence to speak, I entered the palace early this morning to accompany the mother, and then came to the palace with the mother, during which I have been with the mother, and I have not seen anyone else at all, according to what you say, I suspect that I am the murderer of the eldest emperor, so doesn't it mean that the mother is shielding the murderer?" Nie Xinyao said sharply.

"Who knows if you deliberately used the mother emperor as a shield? Everyone knows that there has been a feud between you and the eldest imperial sister, if it weren't for you, I really can't think of anyone else. Nie Xinlin continued.

"That's enough, I'll definitely find out about this matter. Since you are all suspicious, then I will investigate it myself. After listening to Nie Xinlin's words, the empress changed her words instantly, and then said, "Mama Yue, the medicine that Yu'er is taking, but you prepared it single-handedly?

"Your Majesty, this medicine was boiled by the slave maid herself, and it was the slave maid alone from beginning to end, without anyone's hands!"

"You have to think about it carefully, really no one has touched it? This matter is related to the life of the eldest imperial sister, if you leave out anything, it means that you are not strict in supervision, but you will be punished." Nie Xinlin spoke again.

The slave maid remembered that when the slave maid was boiling the medicine, she had entrusted Xiao Tao from the kitchen to help wash the medicine jar, and then helped add a few fires, could it be ...... This poison was planted at that time?" said Mama Yue, frowning.

"Someone, bring Xiao Tao up. The Empress waved her hand, then commanded.

It was about the life of the empress, and seeing that the empress personally asked, everyone did not dare to be careless, and there was silence in the empress's mansion, no one left, and they all watched this scene quietly, as if they were waiting for a result. And everyone also understands in their hearts that the one who poisoned the eldest princess was none other than one of the royal daughters on the high platform, either for the military power in the hands of the eldest princess, or to frame others.

Qingchen stood in the crowd, paying close attention to the movement in front of him, but saw that Nie Xinyao and Nie Xinrou looked as usual, even Nie Xinlin had no expression, if it wasn't for the pale that flashed on her face before, I'm afraid Qingchen really thought that this matter had nothing to do with Nie Xinlin.

Soon, the maidservant named Xiao Tao was brought up and knelt in front of the empress.

In southern Xinjiang, the status of women has always been higher than that of men, and most of the people who are slaves and servants in the palace of the princess are men, but because the princess has been sick in bed for a long time, the man is careless, so there are many more women in the house, this little peach is one of them, because she is careful and cautious, so she was sent by Mama Yue to clean and keep the medicine jar of the princess, after all, this medicine jar is also one of the easiest places to do it.

"Tell me, what's going on with the poison in the Great Queen's Medicine, as long as you tell the truth, I can consider taking it lightly. The empress looked at Xiao Tao and said this, her tone was flat, but she was not angry and arrogant, and she had her own momentum up and down.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid doesn't know what's going on, this medicine has always been the responsibility of Mama Yue, and the slave doesn't know anything-" Xiao Tao said, her voice full of grievances.

"Dare to quibble! Mama Yue is the nurse of the eldest princess, she grew up serving the eldest imperial sister, and treats the eldest imperial sister as her own, how can she harm the eldest imperial sister? It must be you, it is you who secretly poisoned the eldest imperial sister's medicine and wanted to poison her. Say, who instructed you!" When Nie Xinlin heard Xiao Tao's words, she immediately opened her mouth to scold, saying that Xiao Tao did it, and explained that someone instructed her.

This Nie Xinlin is very smart, but she doesn't know that she is smart but she is mistaken by her cleverness. Qingchen listened to Nie Xinlin's words and said to the night corpse beside him, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Nightshade was a little puzzled.

Nie Xinlin kept saying that she was thinking about the eldest queen, and every word was helping Mama Yue get rid of suspicion, so she naturally won the appreciation and gratitude of the empress and Mama Yue, and then said that someone instructed Xiao Tao to guide the empress's thoughts to the person behind the scenes, so that the empress had to follow her train of thought and find the person behind the scenes. Qingchen explained, "It's a pity that she used the wrong method and framed the wrong person." ”

Qingchen's voice fell, and he heard Nie Xinrou's voice sounding faintly: "It's just a little maid, maybe she just wants to poison the eldest sister herself, why does the seventh emperor sister insist that there is another hidden secret? Could it be that the seventh emperor sister knows what is the secret behind this?"

As soon as Nie Xinrou's words came out, the empress stiffened, turned her head and glanced at Nie Xinlin, with a warning in her eyes, which made Nie Xinlin's heart tighten, and she stopped speaking stupidly.

The empress also realized that she had been led by the nose for a while, her face became more and more gloomy, and she turned to look at Xiao Tao: "The third queen is right, it's just a little maid, where did so many moths come from, come on, take Xiao Tao down, and kill with a cane——"

Xiao Tao shouted at the beginning, but as soon as she heard that she was going to be killed with a cane, she instantly exclaimed: "Your Royal Highness the Sixth Imperial Daughter, you can save the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids will do what you tell them - the slaves and maids don't want to die-"

With Xiao Tao's scream, everyone in the audience looked at Nie Xinyao, surprised, confused, accused and disapproving, and even the empress looked at Nie Xinyao coldly, as if waiting for Nie Xinyao to give an explanation.

"The mother, it's not about the son's business, it's this servant girl who framed the son, the son's son has been with the mother since this morning, and the son's handmaid has never left, how can she have the opportunity to instruct Xiao Tao to poison the eldest sister?" Nie Xinyao heard Xiao Tao's words, looked at the empress's obviously unkind face, and hurriedly opened her mouth to defend.

"Your Royal Highness the Sixth Imperial Daughter, it is clear that you found the slave maid last night, and said that on such a big day today, several Royal Highnesses will definitely send supplements and medicinal materials to the eldest princess, as long as the slave and maid give the eldest princess medicine, Your Majesty will definitely find out the heads of several highnesses......" Xiao Tao swore and said it in an orderly manner, sounding like it was true.

"Childe, what this little maid said is so categorical, could it be that it was really instructed by Her Royal Highness the Sixth Imperial Princess?" Ye Di frowned and asked Qingchen.

"Naturally not, just look at it, when she takes out the evidence, it's time for Nie Xinyao to clear her grievances. Qingchen shook his head and said.

Nightshade was silent again, looking at the situation in the field, but heard Xiao Tao speak again:

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid have evidence, His Royal Highness the Sixth used a golden hairpin to buy the slave and maid, and the golden hairpin slave and maid are still kept, Your Majesty will know if the slave and maid are lying when they check it. Faced with Nie Xinyao's questioning, Xiao Tao took the lead and took out the evidence.

"And what about the golden hairpin?" asked the Empress.

"The slave and maid did not carry it with them, but put them under the pillow in the slave and maid's room, and His Majesty sent someone to see it. Xiao Tao lowered her head and said.

"Mother Emperor, this maid swears a good word, it doesn't seem like a lie, I think it should be true, I didn't expect the Sixth Emperor Sister to do such a thing, Erchen thought that she and the eldest sister had always been close, but I didn't expect to do this kind of thing of stabbing in the back. Nie Xinlin seized the opportunity, then spoke again, and fell into the well for Nie Xinyao.

"Come on, bring me the golden hairpin under the little peach pillow, I want to see if it's really as you said, it was the six princesses who bought you. The empress spoke, "You know, slandering the current princess is a big crime, and it will punish the nine clans." ”
