Chapter 025: Involved
Nie Xinyao's words fell on everyone's ears, setting off ripples, and their thoughts were different.
At this time, the regent was still unconscious, but the second princess was already pale, she didn't understand why such a thing happened when everything was clearly arranged.
That Yang Gonggong was obviously poisoned by Luoyunhua, and the poison of Luoyunhua was also clearly put in that dish, and the regent also caused a coma after eating this dish, and in the hands of the imperial physician, it was indeed the antidote to Luoyunhua......
Tomorrow's seamless plan is interlocking, and it is impossible for Nie Xinyao to escape, but why...... Why did things turn around?
Nie Xinrou took everything into her eyes, was silent, and watched the development of the situation, and Nie Xinyu had always said something in front of the empress, so she spoke:
"Mother, what the Sixth Emperor Sister said makes sense, this matter is obviously deliberately done by someone to frame the Sixth Emperor Sister, if it is exposed, it will inevitably be unfair to the Sixth Emperor Sister. Therefore, the sons and daughters also asked the mother emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
The empress's gaze swept over the daughters in front of her, and finally nodded slightly, and then said:
"In that case, then it will be accurate, investigate this matter thoroughly, and be sure to find out who is behind the poisoning. This person has bad intentions, playing tricks under my nose, trying to cover the sky in the palace with one hand, how can I let her get her wish?"
As the empress's words fell, several orders came out of the empress's mouth, and the princess and the imperial physician were guarded, and the imperial physician Zhou and other palace guards went to the imperial dining room to search for evidence, and the empress also sent her henchmen to go with her, so as not to have any unnecessary trouble.
Just like the murder of the empress by Nie Xinyao before, the truth was revealed very quickly, but with half a pillar of incense, Imperial Doctor Zhou and the others had already returned from the imperial dining room, and they had brought back eyewitnesses to live up to expectations.
According to the little eunuch who was doing chores in the imperial dining room, he saw with his own eyes that the chef in charge of the imperial dining room today received a few ingots of silver from a woman and sprinkled some powdered things into a dish, and that dish was prepared for Her Majesty the Empress and tasted by Yang Gonggong.
But after Yang Gonggong tried all the dishes poisoned, he left the imperial dining room, and then a black cat came out of nowhere and knocked over the poisoned meal, and the big chef happened to be not in the imperial dining room at this time, and did not see this scene, the little chef at the bottom was afraid of being punished, so he made the dish again and replaced the original one.
Therefore, according to the words of the little eunuch, everyone knew that the dish served was not poisonous at all, so the matter of the regent being poisoned by the falling cloud flower was nothing, so it can be seen that the diagnosis of the imperial physician was also problematic, and the so-called antidote was even more of a disguise.
And Yu's father-in-law's previous confession, saying that Nie Xinyao bought the imperial kitchen to poison the empress, which was also designed, and everything was just to frame Nie Xinyao.
The truth was revealed, Nie Xinyao was innocent, but the problem immediately appeared.
"Since there is no poison in this dish, then why is Uncle Wang poisoned? Is it poisoned by other people, or is it pretending?" Although Nie Xinlin had an impulsive personality, she helped a lot at the critical moment, and as soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes deepened.
"I'm afraid I have to ask Uncle Wang about this. Nie Xinyao sighed faintly, looked at the unconscious regent, and then said.
Everyone's eyes followed Nie Xinyao and looked at the regent, with doubts and puzzles in their eyes, I don't know why the regent would do such a thing, and why would he use such a clumsy scheme and such an easy-to-debunk lie to frame the favored six princesses?
"Then this matter, just wait for the regent to wake up, come, put all the people in the prison, and wait for the ......" The empress nodded, and ordered outside.
As the empress's voice fell, a few guards walked in outside the door, and they were about to escort all those people down, but Qingchen's voice sounded in Nie Xinyao's ears again:
"Didn't the Sixth Highness think that this is enough? How did they treat you just now, how did they keep framing you, did the Sixth Highness forget?"
Nie Xinyao looked in Qingchen's direction with some surprise, not understanding what Qingchen meant. At this point, the truth has been revealed, that is, the regent bought the chef of the imperial dining room to do these things in an attempt to frame her, and the empress also gave a clear answer, wait for the regent to wake up and deal with this matter, is there anything else that can be done?
As if seeing Nie Xinyao's doubts, Qingchen sneered, passed the sound into the secret again, and then said: "Sixth Highness, don't forget, if this matter is not for the participation of the second princess, the regent's action will definitely not be so smooth. Your Highness, this matter seems to be the truth, but in fact, there is still a suspicion, that is, the woman in the mouth of the little eunuch. β
After Qingchen's reminder, Nie Xinyao seemed to remember something, frowned, and stopped the guards when they walked out of the door of the main hall.
"Waitβ" Nie Xinyao first stopped the guards, then turned to the empress and said, "Mother Qi, this matter is not over yet, and there is one of the biggest suspicions. β
"Still suspicious?" the empress was quite puzzled, "This matter, it is basically certain that your uncle Wang directed and acted by himself, and wanted to separate the relationship between our mother and daughter through this matter, and wanted me to alienate you, and simply kill you alive." β
The empress's tone was full of certainty, as if she saw all the truth of the matter, and she was even thinking in her heart that she thought that the decision to give up the prince would allow these people to settle down a little, focus on political achievements, and bring practical well-being to the people, but she didn't expect that as soon as she said this decision, there would be conspiracies and tricks happening under her nose.
"Mother Emperor, do you think about what the little eunuch said just now?" Nie Xinyao had already completely understood Qingchen's words, and naturally said that it was also the first thing to say, "The little eunuch only said that he saw that the chef accepted a few ingots of silver from a woman, and then sprinkled some powdered things into the dish, but he didn't say who the woman was, nor did he say that the woman who bought the imperial chef was the person next to Uncle Wang. β
Nie Xinyao's words fell, and everyone's hearts rose again, the forces in the palace are complicated, who doesn't have a few eyeliners in the palace? The matter should end here, and the rest is between the empress and the regent, but Nie Xinyao wants to get to the bottom of it, if it goes down like this, it will involve other people.
If it's really not about you, that's fine, but if you implicate yourself, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses.
The empress listened to Nie Xinyao's words, nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Nie Xinyao inexplicably, and then said, "The sixth empress is right, who is that woman, do you know?"
As she spoke, the empress looked at the little eunuch with a majestic look on her face, which made the little eunuch shudder.
"Yes, the slave recognizes, the woman...... It is the Baohe girl next to Her Royal Highness the Second Queen. When the little eunuch saw the empress asking, he no longer concealed it, and said it one by one.
At this moment, everyone was silent again, and Bao He, who was next to the second queen, bought the chef of the imperial dining room and poisoned Her Majesty's meal, but the mistake did not poison the queen, but made the regent hit another serious ......
The people in the palace were all smart people, and when they connected the events before and after, they quickly understood what was happening, and the conclusion that the second princess and the regent colluded took shape in everyone's minds, but no one said so.
"Xinyi, what do you say?" the empress took a deep breath, looked at Nie Xinyi's body, and asked.
"Mother Queen...... Erchen ...... Erchen didn't let Baohe do anything to be sorry for the empress, and Erchen never had the courage to do this-" When Nie Xinyi heard the empress's question, she was shocked, and immediately knelt down to defend herself.
Bao He did leave her for a while, it was after she talked to the Lord Regent that the Lord Regent borrowed Bao He, she didn't know what the Lord Regent asked Bao He to do, but she didn't expect that such a thing would become a handle for others to point against her.
If she now said that she didn't know about Baohe's behavior, but instead had a taste of wanting to cover it up, but if she said she knew, she would inevitably be suspected of colluding with the regent.
For a while, many thoughts flashed through Nie Xinyi's mind, and she quickly made the decision that was most beneficial to herself, and this decision was: abandon the car to protect the handsome, just like Nie Xinlin abandoned Baoqing at the beginning, and abandon Baohe.
"Baohe, what do you say?" Seeing Nie Xinyi's denial, the empress immediately turned her eyes to Baohe and asked.
"Slave maid......" Baohe was about to speak, but was interrupted by Nie Xinyi.
"Baohe, I usually treat you well, but that's how you treat me? I treat you as a sister, but you actually betrayed me! Are you worthy of the parents who gave birth to you and raised you?" Nie Xinyi's accusation was heart-wrenching, and it seemed that she was heartbroken by what Baohe had done.
It didn't sound bad, but Bao He understood.
The second princess is threatening her with the lives of her parents, threatening her to admit her betrayal, putting all the blame on the regent, and exchanging her own death for the safety of her family.
Bao He wanted to speak and stopped, there seemed to be a lot of things to say in his eyes, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only lower his head, grit his teeth, and follow Nie Xinyi's words, and spoke:
"The slave and maid are guilty, the slave and the maid should not be confused for a while, listen to the instigation of the regent, betray the second princess, and even help the regent to do such a rebellious thing, everything is the slave's fault, the slave is sorry for the trust of the second princess, and she is sorry for her parents. Slaves...... May I apologize with death!"
Bao He finally finished saying this, and then suddenly got up and hit the pillar next to the main hall, and for a while, blood splashed everywhere, and in an instant, Bao He lost his life.
But her words before she died fell on everyone's hearts, including the empress.
