The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1107 The Intentions Are Sinister (23)
Zixi's face changed drastically, and she exclaimed from the side: "How could this happen? This silk thread is actually poisonous. No wonder the young master was poisoned all of a sudden. It turns out that there is something wrong with this silk thread."

Ziyun ran over in disbelief, stared at the cup of tea in astonishment, and murmured: "This, how is this possible..."

Qingchen said indifferently: "How is this impossible? Women do needlework, and many people are used to biting off silk threads with their teeth. Bengong guessed that this is how the poison must have entered Shu Gui's mouth."

Ziyun's face was flushed with anger, his chest fluctuated, and he said angrily with emotion: "Your majesty, imperial concubine, I beg you to be the masters of my little master. This servant clearly remembers that this silk thread belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The little eunuch Chen Cheng must have poisoned the silk thread to poison my master."

The emperor raised his eyebrows in displeasure and asked: "A little eunuch, why do you want to have trouble with your master, but have you had any grudges before?"

When the emperor asked this question, Ziyun and Zixi were even more astonished. They looked at each other, and suddenly realized something and replied: "Your Majesty, my young master has not met Chen Cheng a few times before, and it is estimated that even Chen Cheng I can’t even remember his face, let alone any grievances. Someone must have instructed him, so he dared to use his position to poison and harm the young master. I beg the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly and uphold justice for my young master.”

"Why do you say that, if that's the case, I will not be lenient!" The emperor's tone became colder, with a sense of determination: "The third prince and the jade concubine were poisoned last time, and this time it was Shu Your lord, how can people forgive such vicious means? If it is found that someone has bad intentions, no matter who it is, I will let her taste the taste of the poison before sending her off!"

If the person behind the scenes is really found, it would not be an exaggeration to grant death. Seeing the emperor was angry, Qing Chen hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry, it's not worth your body to be ruined by those anger."

The emperor's thin lips were tightly pursed, and there was a cold murderous intent in the corners of his eyes and brows. He sat on the warm kang with a sullen face and said nothing.

Qingchen thought carefully, Mr. Shu Gui has been working for Concubine Ning, so naturally Concubine Ning couldn't instigate someone to harm her, so who else could be so hard on her?

For some reason, she thought of Yubi, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt cold, but then she thought that maybe she was too sensitive, and all these things might not have been planned by Yubi, otherwise she would She spent so much time thinking about these things, could it be that when she couldn't sleep every night, all she could think about was how to fight against herself?

If it wasn't for the jade concubine, then it must be that Mr. Shu Gui had spoken unforgivingly before and had private grievances with others, which may have caused someone to make trouble.

The matter has to be investigated slowly, Qingchen ordered: "Come here, tell the little eunuch Chen Cheng of the House of Internal Affairs that this palace will examine him carefully."

Immediately, someone from Shu Guiren's palace took orders to go, Qingchen looked at the pile of colorful silk threads in the basket, and thought to himself that these people are really smart, but it's a pity that these talents are not willing to use them on the right way, they are all used Come to harm someone.Mrs. Shu Gui was restrained from self-examination, locked up in the palace for a long time to be bored, the only thing to pass the time was doing needlework, thanks to their scheming skills.

Seeing the annoyed look on her face, the emperor held her slightly cold fingers and said softly: "Since you have a clue, let's interrogate slowly, and I don't want to see you angry."

Qingchen stretched the corners of his lips, forced a smile, which was regarded as a response to the emperor, "The concubine is not angry, but just lamenting the coldness of people's hearts. For things like poisoning, if there is no real hatred, why do you have to do it? Want to take someone's life? Whether it's a vicious nature or a deep-rooted grudge, I'm a little curious."

The emperor said coldly: "No matter what it is, I will never condone such behavior."

Chen Cheng was sent in by someone, probably because he was awakened from his sleep and was frightened. His clothes were disheveled, and several buttons of his clothes were wrongly buttoned, which shows how panicked he was at that time.

Being kicked in the crook of his leg, Chen Cheng screamed and knelt on the ground. He raised his eyes and saw the majestic gaze of the emperor. Trembling but dare not speak.

Qingchen asked in a cold voice: "Chen Cheng, please raise your head, I ask you, did you send the silk thread in this basket to the Shugui Palace?"

Being lifted up by the collar of the back, Chen Cheng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he looked at the things in Zixi's hand with a pale face, nodded tremblingly: "Return, The words back to the empress were sent by the servant."

"Then this silk thread has been poisoned by someone, do you know?" His eyes were full of coldness, but his tone was unhurried. Qingchen was still afraid of wronging a good person, because although he sent the silk thread, if It was divided up early in the morning, but it is unknown if it was only delivered by his hand. The hearts of the people in this palace cannot be guessed according to common sense.

"No, I don't know, the slave doesn't know anything, he just runs errands." Chen Cheng secretly glanced at the emperor, this sneaky look suddenly made Qingchen frowned.

"You'd better be honest, what is this palace asking, you can answer it after you think it through. If you're just running errands, who handed over the silk thread to you before, or who was the person who assigned the quota? Shu The nobleman fell into a coma after touching this silk thread, and he is still not awake, you'd better explain these things to me, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you a chance to live."

This time, Qingchen's voice was a bit chilly, but because of Chen Cheng's extremely guilty eyes, she still felt a little disgusted in her heart.

Chen Cheng's eyes were flickering, and his eyes moved back and forth for a long time before he replied tremblingly: "Madam, I just remembered that the silk thread was distributed by a man named Wang Song under Xiao Yinzi's father-in-law. This servant has no enmity with Mr. Shu Gui, why bother to poison her, it's really just running errands, I beg your empress to see clearly."

When he mentioned Xiao Yinzi, Qingchen suddenly had an ominous premonition, subconsciously went to look at the emperor, saw Xiao Jun's eyes were blurred, and ordered in a cold voice: "Then send Wang Song over for questioning!"

I wanted to say something to defend Xiao Yinzi, but I felt that it was unnecessary. Xiao Yinzi is the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Except for those deputy directors who are at the same level as him, whoever is on duty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not his subordinate. If now I was in a hurry to get rid of him, but it seemed that there was no money here.What's more, everyone knows that Xiao Yinzi came out of her palace, so in the eyes of others, what is the difference between what he did and what she ordered?
Gathering his mind, Qingchen asked Zixi, "How many days has this silk thread been delivered?"
