"Empress, what is this?" emperor Zhaozhen asked Haishi.
Hai's face was white and he shook his head. "I don't know... This is not my thing."
Then he looked at the head mammy who was still kneeling there and tried to make his voice sound less trembling: "Mammy, do you know what it is?"
The chief mammy quickly shook her head: "the maid has never seen it. It was not brought out of the Yukun palace!"
She didn't know what it was, but she had never seen it. That's the truth!
Emperor Zhaozhen's eyes fell on the black cloth box held in front of him and said, "open it."
Seeing that the wanted guard untied the black cloth wrapped around the box, Heidegger's ten fingers clenched and trembled.
It was a square yellow wooden box with a lock.
"The queen knows where the key is?" emperor Zhaozhen asked again.
Heidegger was cold and almost trembled: "Your Majesty... This thing is really not owned by my concubine, and I don't know who put it here... Or someone who lived here before may have left it!"
At this moment, she was tense, and there was only one voice in her mind - she would never recognize it!
Seeing her reaction in his eyes, Emperor Zhaozhen looked at the box again. His voice was slightly cold and repeated, "open -"
Before it was opened, Heidegger hurriedly denied it, as if he had "expected" that the things in the box were unusual——
As for how unusual it is, you have to see it with your own eyes.
With two soft sounds, the copper lock was easily pried open by commander Lin with a dagger.
Commander Lin personally opened the yellow wooden box. When the contents came into view, they showed an unexpected look.
"Your Majesty... It's a worm!"
Emperor Zhaozhen frowned slightly and motioned him to come forward.
Lin Tongling dared to present it to the emperor.
There were indeed two worms in the box, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary moths.
The two polypods are more than two inches long. Their whole body shows a strange purple and translucent state. In this light purple, it can be seen that there is a thin dark red color in the body, such as a red line running through the insect body.
As the box was opened, the two insects seemed to be disturbed by the sudden light and swam quickly in the box.
People will always feel inexplicable discomfort when they see abnormal and strange things, regardless of size - this is the case with these two insects.
I don't know what I thought, doctor Zheng set off a wave in the bottom of his eyes.
"Doctor Zheng can recognize this insect?" emperor Zhaozhen frowned and asked, "what kind of poison?"
It's well known that most people with different colors are poisons and can't be touched easily.
"I have little talent and knowledge. I have never seen it before. I really dare not make a hasty conclusion..." doctor Zheng's face shows a strange solemnity: "maybe doctor Luo can solve his Majesty's doubts..."
Dr. Luo is a disciple of Dr. Qiao Biying. Although he only deals with cats and dogs in the palace over the years, most of him learned from Dr. Luo about his ability to recognize and detoxify poisons.
"Come here." emperor Zhaozhen ordered, "send someone to ask Miss Xu and miss a Kui around her to come --"
Doctor Luo didn't come with his entourage this time. Maybe we should let Zhaozhao have a look.
The internal supervisor was ordered to invite someone.
Looking at the box that was temporarily closed again, Princess Yongjia frowned.
Isn't it just two insects? Why do you look like this from your mother to your father and then to doctor Zheng?
Especially the mother, whether it's hers or not, how can she be so frightened for a bug?
Looking at the head mammy who had been kneeling there since she came, she couldn't help asking, "father, Queen Mother, what happened?"
Zheng Taiyi and others hung their eyes and were in a complex mood.
How should the emperor and queen answer this?
Do you want to tell the princess... The queen hid aphrodisiac in the censer in her room?
At this time, the internal supervisor came and said that the prince had arrived.
Along with the young men, there are several wanted guards.
Xie Wukang walked into the hall and glanced at the situation in the hall. He didn't say much and asked much, but saluted and said, "father, there is progress in startling the horse."
Princess Yongjia was stiff at the sound.
The voice, which was originally called clear and pleasant, sounded around her: "the arrest guard has found sheep wandering by the lake in Beiyuan. The internal supervisor in charge of the stables has listed all the people who may have access to horses - after being verified and eliminated by the children's minister, it can be known that the most suspected person at present is a maid named Dongzhi beside Princess Yongjia."
Princess Yongjia's eyes widened.
Most of the time ago, the group of arrest guards searched her residence and got nothing. She thought she wouldn't go wrong again - however, she thought that in the calm, she had secretly found her head?!
Dongzhi, that waste, was watched, but he didn't know it at all!
"This... This is impossible!" she hurriedly said, "brother, you must have misunderstood something!"
Xie Wukang did not look at her, but said, "the inner supervisor and maid who took care of the stables are waiting outside the hospital at this time -"
Emperor Zhaozhen's mood sank a bit, and immediately said, "come in and confront."
Immediately, an arrest guard brought them in.
Looking at the maid kneeling down, Heidegger's heart jumped wildly.
It's really Dongzhi
Is it true that today's horse scare is——
She turned her head sharply to her daughter.
The head mother is crying bitterly in her heart - today's matter is difficult enough. A wave is not even, but there is a huge wave in front of her!
"When the weather was not clear today, the girl came to the stables and said that she was afraid that the princess's horse would not be used to the forage in the palace, so she came to feed herself..." the internal prison repeated with some uneasiness.
How dare he stop the people around the princess from feeding the horse?
Thinking of your people and your horse, he didn't think much at that time. Even today, his Highness the crown prince personally came to inquire about the people who came in contact with horses. He only told the truth, and did not suspect the maid... Until he checked and checked again, everyone else ruled out the suspicion, but only the maid was the most suspected!
It is verified that the lakeside path where sheep linger is the only way to return to Princess Yongjia's residence from the stable!
In this case, he was inevitably in danger. At this time, he didn't dare to look up at Princess Yongjia.
"Is there such a thing?" emperor Zhaozhen asked, looking at Dongzhi.
Like the general, he mostly put his doubts on the forces of all parties, and identified the horse shock as a dispute between the court and the court——
But since ah yuan brought people to him, it was enough to show that he was at least 70% sure.
If so, he underestimated the importance of his little daughter's family.
But wrong is wrong, and the daughter's family also has to bear the consequences. Even if sang'er did it seriously, he would never have half a shield——
"Yes... The servant girl did go to the stable!" but the servant girl was just feeding the horse for his royal highness. She never did anything else! She never touched the girl's horse! "Winter Zhi touched her head on the ground, her voice firm and grieved:" please your majesty! "
"Ridiculous! When did the palace ask you to feed the horse? No wonder I didn't see you when I got up this morning. It turned out that I went to the stable under the guise of me!" Princess Yongjia said angrily: "who on earth did you buy and order? You tried to pour this dirty water on the palace!"
Dongzhi's face with her forehead against the floor tile was covered with incredible color, and her whole body became cold and stiff in an instant.
Princess, what are you doing?
What if the princess admitted that she had been to the stable today? Who can prove that she threw the sheep? She poisoned it?
But the princess still did not want to overturn her words!
Is the princess not smart enough to be scared?
No
The princess was afraid of other evidence, so she simply denied the fact that she had been to the stable from the beginning, so as to push her out to take the blame to end the matter, and directly cut off all future troubles that are unfavorable to herself!
Seeing that the people kneeling there didn't refute, Princess Yongjia felt a little relieved, so she said: "my father didn't know. Since Dongzhi came to the capital with me, there have been many abnormal behaviors. At first, I just thought she didn't adapt to the life in the palace... Now it seems that she didn't know what she was thinking and secretly colluded with someone! You have to ask someone to check this carefully!"
Of course she knew that these words alone were not enough to convince her father.
But at this time, with so many outsiders, her face is the face of the father emperor. How can the father emperor directly condemn her!
As for Dongzhi——
It's common for the master to make mistakes and the servant to take the blame. Isn't the servant just for use?
If the other party is more interesting, he knows what to say. If he is not... Ah, as long as the father intends to cover up the matter in the open, whatever the other party says is just some sophistry and slander!
Thinking of these, Princess Yongjia had no fear at all. The big deal was that she was scolded by her father in private.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhaozhen asked Dongzhi, "did you really accept others?"
Princess Yongjia was stunned.
Just pull people down and "interrogate". Why should my father ask like this?
At this time, the salute of palace people came in outside the hall.
"Empress dowager, Miss Xu..."
Xu Mingyi has been at the Empress Dowager's office tonight. When the internal prison went to look for someone, the Empress Dowager heard what happened here and couldn't help coming together.
The Empress Dowager didn't say much. She just sat down in the hall with Xu Mingyi's help, patted the girl's hand, motioned and listened first.
Xu Mingyi stood beside the Empress Dowager and quietly looked at the situation in the hall.
Tonight seems a little complicated.
In addition to the one related to her, other important things happened at the same time.
At this time, she had some doubts about Heidegger, but at the same time, she also had an intuition - these doubts may be answered soon.
Just have to listen and see one by one.
In the sight, the green maid slowly raised her head, but she looked at Princess Yongjia——
"The maidservant grew up with the princess since she was a child. After the princess came to Beijing, she became a beautiful palace maid in the eyes of others. In this case, who would think of coming to buy the maidservant? Who could buy the maidservant? If it were not the princess's order, would the maidservant risk her life to harm the future Crown Princess!"
Princess Yongjia's face changed: "you... Really came to slander the palace!"
This bitch dare to talk too much. Is it too easy to be afraid of death!
"The princess just let the maid take the blame." the green maid smiled sadly and said, "it's common for the princess to kill palace people in the Yucui palace. Now it's just her turn to die..."
Aware of the sight of emperor Zhaozhen, Princess Yongjia looked slightly white and said angrily, "don't talk nonsense and slander the palace!"
Looking at those eyes of resentment and revenge, she suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart. When she was about to make the decision without authorization and order the internal prison to drag the person down, she had heard the other party say: "Isn't the princess always boasting that she's bold? How come she doesn't even have the courage to admit it at this time? Since the princess doesn't dare to say, it's up to her maid to say it for the princess... The princess Loves Her Highness the crown prince, so she plans to frighten the horse because she hates Miss Xu in every way! She claims to teach Miss Xu a lesson. Even if she can't kill her life, she will ruin her appearance and break her leg You can't be a princess anymore! - that's what the princess said! "
Everyone turned pale around.
This... What is this?!
Is that what they can hear?!
The queen wanted to give the emperor aphrodisiac
Now there's another one——
Surprise! The reason why Princess highness is so cruel to the princess in the future is that!
"..." Heidegger looked at his daughter in shock.
Sonny... Adore the prince?!
How is that possible?
Heidegger's brain was buzzing, and the only trace of reason made her find out the trace from every little thing.
No wonder
No wonder this "sensible" came so abnormal that it turned out to be
The Empress Dowager frowned, but she didn't see the meaning of drinking Dongzhi - don't be afraid of losing face when something ugly happens, try to cover it up, and in the end, the ugly thing is afraid to lead to disaster.
What's more, the Xie family needs to give Zhaozhao a complete account of the impeccable disaster.
"She's talking nonsense!" Princess Yongjia's face kept changing. She was almost out of shape because of her shame, anger, uneasiness and unspeakable unknown fear. Now she was going to rush at Dongzhi: "I think you're crazy!"
"Enough!" emperor Zhaozhen's face sank slightly: "take people down -"
Whether it is true or not, he has a judgment in his heart.
"Father......" Dongzhi was soon taken down. Princess Yongjia wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Emperor Zhaozhen's cold voice: "you also step down."
Looking at the cold side face, Princess Yongjia opened her mouth and fear rose in her heart.
The father seems to be really angry. She has never seen the father look like this
She stood there for a moment at a loss. She bit her lips and answered "yes" and withdrew.
But she did not leave, nor did she dare to leave, but stood outside the hall.
She heard the ashamed and solemn voice of her father in the hall——
"This is my goddaughter's failure, which almost caused a great disaster. After returning to Beijing, I will give Miss Xu a complete explanation."
Princess Yongjia clenched her cold fingers.
Did the father decide her crime in public?!
After returning to Beijing
After returning to Beijing, what does the father intend to do with her?!
She just wants to teach Xu Mingyi a lesson... She is the princess, the father's own daughter and the only daughter!
The voice in the hall continued.
"There's just one more favor at the moment. Miss Xu needs to help."
Xu Mingyi understood: "yes, ah Kui -"
Go to find her internal prison and explain the general situation. Ah Kui is also roughly ready.
And this preparation has enough skills to support - the little girl has been working hard for the big talk of her own girl these days.
Just like "some masks can't be taken off after wearing them for a long time", similarly, some pots will become their own things - the highest state of carrying pots is no better than this.
Rao is so. When seeing the two insects, the miracle doctor ah Kui still failed to treat them calmly. He was quite surprised and said, "this... It seems to be a Gu insect!"
She read it in doctor Qiu's non-public medical book!
Bug?!
The faces of the people in the hall changed.
Although most people don't know what it is, it's enough to make people scared when they hear the word "Gu"!
In all dynasties, witchcraft and witchcraft were regarded as taboos, and the current Dynasty was no exception!
Although doctor Zheng had expected, he was still surprised when he really heard it. He couldn't help asking the little girl on his side: "I heard that there are many kinds of poisonous insects, and their uses are different. I don't know what these two are..."
Ah Kui hesitated for a moment, but suddenly thought of the girl's explanation when she arrived: "no matter what you see later, just tell the truth."
Then he said truthfully, "it's like love Gu..."
