The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 871 There must be a secret
As soon as Yingrui finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Who would have thought that the truth would surface so quickly, and who would have thought that this court lady named Yingrui would admit it without even refuting her grievances. It was she who poisoned Qing Zhaoyi.

All of this is too unimaginable, so unimaginable that it makes people feel uncomfortable. I can't help thinking, can it really be so easy and simple?

Even the emperor couldn't believe it, he frowned and asked, "You really did the poisoning of Qing Zhaoyi?"

Yingrui confessed: "Returning to the emperor, the maidservant knows the death penalty and dare not deny it. The poisoning of Qing Zhaoyi was done by Yingrui alone and has nothing to do with others. Please let the emperor let them go."

The emperor laughed: "You value love and righteousness. You said you did this by yourself?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"No one instructed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor pondered, and asked again: "What are you in charge of in Xuanhua Palace?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the servants will bring tea to the two empresses."

"In this way, it is very easy for you to poison Qing Zhaoyi." After a pause, Emperor Fox questioned: "But what I don't understand is why you, a court lady who is in charge of delivering tea, would do this to Qing Zhaoyi." Poisonous hand? You are not Qing Zhaoyi's close maid, logically speaking, Qing Zhaoyi would not offend you and invite death." Speaking of this, the emperor's face changed suddenly, and there was an obvious threat in his eyes.

Yingrui didn't seem to be afraid at all, or in other words, since she dared to say that this matter was none of other people's business, it meant that she was ready to face death.

"If you go back to the emperor, Lady Zhaoyi did not offend the servant girl, but the servant girl used to be the maidservant next to Jiaomei. I don't know why Jiaomei died. If she can't avenge her, the servant will not be reconciled to her death. It's Qing Zhaoyi's fault that Jiaomei will end up like that again, so the servant tried her best to come to Xuanhua Palace to work. Waiting for an opportunity."

The emperor and the empress looked at each other. According to what she said just now, it is not impossible. This kind of thing happened in the past, but it was so smooth that they had to doubt what Yingrui said. How much is real?

The queen asked in a deep voice: "You said you were Jiaomei's maid, since you want to kill Qing Zhaoyi to avenge Jiaomei, it stands to reason that you have many opportunities to kill Qing Zhaoyi in your position, why didn't you do it before, until today Just do it?"

The emperor nodded: "Mistress Yingrui, if you dare to lie in front of me, I will never forgive you lightly."

"I dare not lie, and I didn't want to admit it at first, but Qiu Ju saw who let the servant hide the poison. The servant and Qiu Ju lived in the same room. When Qiu Ju said the name of the servant, the servant did not I can still live after thinking about it." Yingrui's eyes drifted, and she said: "As for why we waited until now to do it, I don't even think about it, I have been looking for opportunities, but Suping, the court lady next to Qing Zhaoyi, is very careful every time. When you come here to get tea, you will definitely stare at the servants, and the servants have no chance, so they waited until today, taking advantage of Suping's being attracted by the voices outside."

Yingrui's words did not sound suspicious, but if you think about it carefully, you can still find some clues.

Concubine Liu snorted and laughed: "Your Majesty, empress, what this maid said is really unbelievable."

"Oh? Concubine Liu, let me tell you, what's so unbelievable?"

Concubine Liu glanced at Yingrui: "The court lady said that she has always wanted to avenge the beautiful woman, but she couldn't wait for the opportunity, so should she carry the poison with her? But the concubine just heard that Qiu Ju The palace lady said that she only saw her hiding the poison in her sleeve pocket today, since it is poison, why bother to take it out every day, so as to attract suspicion?"

The emperor nodded: "Concubine Liu is right, if you really want to harm Qing Zhaoyi, the poison must have been hidden on your body for a while."

"Back to the emperor, what the servant girl said is true. The servant girl kept the poison by her side all the time. It was only because she changed her clothes yesterday that she took out the poison at will. Qiu Ju saw it. The servant girl didn't know what happened today. There will be a chance, if you know about it, you will definitely be more careful and don’t let anyone see it.”

The emperor frowned, so it's not impossible.

Concubine Liu didn't believe it: "Your Majesty, how can these maids have so many clothes to change? It's very possible in summer, but now in this cold winter, which court lady would change clothes in this kind of weather? Not to mention Yingrui She's just a court lady watching tea, and she doesn't have any chance of getting a reward."

The emperor looked at Yingrui: "How do you explain this?" The weather has been cloudy and rainy for the past two days, and the weather is so cold that the palace maids should not have many clothes, so Concubine Liu is right, no one would choose to live in this kind of weather. Changing clothes.

Yingrui was obviously a little panicked, her eyes became even more erratic, and everyone saw it, and naturally they knew what to do to avenge the beautiful woman, obviously it was not as simple as this slut maid said.

Concubine Liang said casually: "Your Majesty, Empress, Yingrui lives with Qiu Ju. If she changed her clothes yesterday, just ask Qiu Ju."

The emperor nodded, looked at Qiu Ju, and motioned for her to answer Liang Concubine's question. Qiu Ju shook her head again and again, and said, "Yingrui also wore the same clothes two days ago, and did not replace them."

When the queen heard this, she said angrily: "Well, you lowly servant girl, how dare you lie in front of the emperor, do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will be beheaded!"

Yingrui's legs went limp, she slumped on the ground, then she seemed to think of something, she looked at the emperor and queen and said: "This servant knows that he is guilty of death, so he dare not beg for mercy, this servant deserves death, please the emperor to give me death!"

The emperor sneered: "Want to die? I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Concubine Liu said: "Your Majesty, this lowly servant girl is full of nonsense, someone must have instructed her to do this. This concubine thinks that she should be sent to the punishment palace, and let the people in the punishment palace interrogate her until she is willing to tell the truth!"

The queen echoed: "Your Majesty, my concubine and concubine Liu have the same opinion. Qing Zhaoyi was poisoned, and this lowly servant girl wants to take all the blame on her. It would be a pity to kill her alone, but if the real culprit behind this lowly female servant... If she is at large, then Qing Zhaoyi is still in danger?"

The emperor hummed, and ordered: "What the empress said is very true, pass on my order, and bring the court lady Yingrui to the punishment palace, and interrogate carefully until she is willing to speak the truth!"

De'an quickly called the guards and told them to take Yingrui down. The punishment palace can be said to be a nightmare for everyone in the harem. Yingrui may not be afraid of death, but how could she not be afraid of the appalling punishments in the punishment palace.

When she was taken away, Yingrui was terrified and yelled incoherently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save this servant!"
