Her Majesty the Queen

Chapter 135 The Truth
After hearing Feng Lin's order, the two imperial guards immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zi Yuniang's arms, dragging her out.

Ziyu didn't let go, she still held on to her mother's hand to prevent the two imperial guards from dragging her away.But how could her strength match that of the Imperial Forest Army? After a while, the hands of the two were separated.Ziyu cried and hissed, louder than louder.

Seeing that, my mother was about to disappear from the door.Ziyu finally made a decision.She turned her head, pulled Feng Lin's skirt with all her strength, and begged: "My lord, please spare my servant's mother. The servant said that the servant will definitely explain the whole story clearly."

The pressure on the skirt made Feng Lin frowned, she didn't like being too close.She stared at her hand grabbing her skirt, and said coldly, "Let go."

Ziyu was stunned for a moment before she understood what Feng Lin's words meant, she let go of her hands and fell limp on the ground.

It wasn't until Ziyu let go of her hand that Feng Lin's face turned better. She waved to the two imperial guards who grabbed Ziyu Niang: "Wait a minute."

Zi Yuniang was escorted back again, and together with Zi Yu, she knelt at Feng Lin's feet.

Feng Lin walked back a few steps, returned to the seat he had sat in before and sat down.She raised one leg and rested her chin on her hand.Looking at Ziyu, he just uttered a word. "explain."

The tears on Ziyu's face were still wet, and she knew that it would be pointless to keep concealing it.He opened the mouth and said: "Before the lord's wedding, the princess of Dongling once sent someone to find the servant. The reason she sought the servant was that she wanted the servant to poison His Majesty. In fact, the servant did not agree, but she made a promise that if If the servant agrees, she will give the servant a thousand taels of gold. If the servant does not agree, she will kill the servant. A thousand taels of gold, the slave will never earn such money in a lifetime."

Speaking of this, without Ziyu continuing, Feng Lin can guess.For money, she agreed to Yan Moxuan's condition and poisoned the queen.

Feng Lin did not continue with the question just now, but asked: "Tell me, how did you get poisoned?"

All the meals in the palace were personally tested by a special imperial doctor, even if Ziyu wanted to poison it, it would not be so easy.What's more, on the day of her wedding, the queen did not eat any meals.All Fenglin was very curious about this.

Ziyu looked at the dim candlelight on the table, as if recalling something.After a while, she continued: "Your Majesty will be in the candles in His Majesty's bedroom. When His Majesty is taking a nap, light the candles. Your Majesty was poisoned after inhaling the poisonous smoke from the candles."

After serving the queen for many years, how could Ziyu not know that the queen's meals are inspected by a special imperial doctor?Moreover, if she really put the poison in the food, even if she succeeded, it would be easy to be found out.So she didn't do that, but put the poison in the candles in the queen's bedroom.During the day, the empress was discussing matters with the ministers in the Chengde Hall.And in the meantime, she just went on to clean the bedroom and mixed poison into the candles in the bedroom in the name of cleaning.

The queen has the habit of taking a nap.When she returned to the bedroom, Ziyu lit the candle mixed with poisonous powder.Then all the male and female servants in the palace were dismissed.The onset of this poison is very slow, so when the empress did not take the poison immediately, it started to take place that night.

At that time, Ziyu could just prove that the empress did not eat meals in the palace, so all the evidence pointed to Linwang's mansion. After all, all the ministers saw that the empress once drank a cup of tea in Linwang's mansion.

Ziyu originally thought that in this way, all the ministers would definitely believe that it was Lin Wang who poisoned him.But she still underestimated Feng Lin's reputation among the ministers.In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one believed that it was Feng Lin who poisoned and murdered the empress.

Not only that, when Ziyu thought that the queen must die.Fenglin actually invited the third prince of the Western Jin Dynasty to treat the queen's illness.

What surprised Ziyu the most was that the third prince of the Western Jin Dynasty actually cured the poison that made all the imperial doctors helpless.

Of course, the queen's poison is beyond comprehension, and has nothing to do with her.Because what she was supposed to do, she did.She only needs to serve the queen as usual, and she can spend the gold given to her by the Empress Dowager Dongling with peace of mind.

She wasn't worried that her poisoning would be revealed, because once the candle burned out there would be no evidence that she had poisoned it.Naturally, it was impossible for Yan Moxuan to say that the two of them were grasshoppers on the same rope. If she couldn't escape, then it was absolutely impossible for Yan Moxuan to escape.

Until tonight, Ziyu never thought that this matter would be exposed.

However, the paper still couldn't contain the fire.This matter was discovered by Feng Lin.

She admits that she has failed, a complete failure.

Even Fenglin had to say that Ziyu was indeed thoughtful.If Yan Moxuan hadn't revealed Ziyu's name inadvertently.If she wants to find the murderer, she may have to spend some effort.But now, all she has to do is to arrest her with evidence that Yan Moxuan's envoy, Ziyu, is Qingfeng Palace.

Feng Lin stopped chattering with Ziyu, and raised his voice: "Hand over the poison you hid."

Ziyu had completely surrendered.She braced herself to stand up.He staggered to the bed.

That's right, Ziyu was wary of Yan Moxuan.People like her would never let themselves live knowing the truth.So she kept an eye out and didn't use up the medicine Yan Moxuan gave her.She kept some secretly, so that one day, if Yan Moxuan wanted to kill her, she would use the remaining powder to save her life.

When Yan Moxuan found her, in order to make her willing to do things for her, he told her that there is a medicinal material in this medicine powder that is unique to Dongling.She wrote down this sentence, and found a bargaining chip for her to survive.

But she didn't expect that when she presented this evidence, it was not for saving her life, but as evidence that she poisoned the queen.It's just that she can no longer think of any way to keep herself alive.

Resigned to her fate, Ziyu bent down and lifted up the bed sheet.Take out a small paper bag from under the long legs.

Ziyu walked back with the paper bag, and presented it with both hands respectfully.

Feng Lin stretched out his hand to take it, and held it in front of his eyes for a moment.Then, she yelled: "Put Ziyu and her parents in the sky prison and wait to be punished."

Ziyu didn't struggle, and was pushed down together with the elders.

Feng Lin thumped the table lightly with her hand, but she didn't speak, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at this time.

After a while like this, Feng Lin recovered from his contemplation.She glanced at the dark night sky, and said: "All the imperial guards obey the order, and follow this king to Qingfeng Palace to bring the culprit who murdered the empress, the princess Yan Moxuan of Dongling, to justice."

All the Imperial Forest Army shouted in unison: "Your subordinates obey your orders."

Feng Lin nodded, and stepped out of Ziyu's room first.
