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

Chapter 1108 The Intentions Are Sinister (24)
Zixi looked at Chen Cheng viciously, as if she didn't believe what he said, her eyes were red with anger, her expression seemed to be eating people, when she heard Qingchen's question, she suddenly came back to her senses, and replied with some resentment : "Going back to your mother, the silk thread was delivered in the afternoon the day before yesterday. Forgive me for talking too much. Even if it was really him who poisoned my young master, the poison in his hand must have been thrown away long ago, and the evidence has been destroyed. Naturally, he can slander others as he pleases. The silk thread was distributed by others, so couldn’t he have secretly replaced it on the way to deliver it? How could he be cleared of his suspicion like this?”

"I didn't say that he was not suspected, but just wanted to question all the people who dealt with it. Don't you want to kill Chen Cheng in such a muddle-headed way, and let go of the servant who really poisoned Mr. Shu Gui?"

Although Qingchen's tone did not contain much blame, Zixi still lowered her head in fear, "Yes, it's all the servant's fault, it's because the servant was too impatient that she lost her sense of proportion, please forgive me. "

It's not that they don't understand their feelings as people around them, so Qingchen doesn't mind Zixi's attitude just now, but just lightly ordered: "You just calm down, go and bring a cup of tea to the emperor."

"Yes, this servant obeys." Zi Xi blessed Fushen, turned around and walked out lightly.

When Wang Song was escorted over, he was not as embarrassed as Chen Cheng. He probably didn't understand what happened, so he knelt down and saluted respectfully, and then he heard the emperor ask: "Two days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Shu Are the things in the palace of nobles assigned by you, do you know these silk threads?"

Wang Song glanced at the silk thread in the basket, but he didn't try to shirk, nodded inexplicably and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the servant and a few young father-in-laws will distribute it together. After the distribution is over, someone will send it over. The slave didn't take anything from Mr. Shu Gui."

The emperor asked sharply: "Then, do you know that this silk thread was poisoned, and Shu Gui almost lost his life when he touched the thread, and he is still in a coma!"

Wang Song's expression froze, his eyes widened for a moment, and he looked unbelievable. After a while, he seemed to realize something, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I really don't know how to respond to the poisoning of this silk thread." The thing is, even though the things were distributed by the slaves at that time, they were just taken out from the warehouse and sent to the masters of the palaces. Besides, when the distribution was made, it was not just the slaves who were present alone, but many people working together. Under such circumstances, how could the slave have the opportunity to poison? The slave has no enmity with Mr. Shu Gui, why bother to harm Mr. Shu, and ask the emperor to see clearly. "

The treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a special person to look after it. Every time when the monthly regulations are issued, things are taken from the warehouse and distributed to be sent to each palace. It is impossible for only one person to do this.Even if the silk thread had been prepared early in the morning, it would not be so easy to replace it in full view, but if someone dropped it on the way to deliver it, it would be much easier.

But now that there is no evidence, both of them are naturally unwilling to plead guilty. Qingchen thought about it and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to the concubine, who is in charge of the affairs of the harem, but let the concubine take care of it?" People poisoned Mr. Shu Gui with ulterior motives, which really made my concubine shameless, and there is no way to set an example without severe punishment, so this concubine asks the emperor to allow me to severely punish these two little eunuchs as an example to others."

Xiao Jun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Qingchen glanced at the two kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Didn't the emperor just say that if they want to let them taste the poison, the concubine is planning to use his own way to treat his own body, so that you can get rid of it?" They have a taste of this poisoning and death."

Before she finished speaking, both Wang Song and Chen Cheng's complexions changed drastically. Wang Song even knelt and crawled over to kowtow like garlic, crying innocently, "Imperial Concubine, please spare me, this slave is really wronged, this slave is just I just took things from the warehouse and distributed them. I really don’t know about the silk thread being poisoned. I’ve been wronged..."

Chen Cheng was sweating like rain, his head banging loudly, the marble floor was soon stained with blood on his broken forehead, he was shaking like sifting chaff, and crying like Wang Song: "Your Majesty! The imperial concubine spared her life, the slave was wronged, and the slave was willing to tell everything she knew. The slave once accidentally saw that Eunuch Yin asked the eunuch to buy poison, and the slave found the bottle of poison in Wang Song's room two days ago. Although I don't know if the poison was given to him by Mr. Yin, but the servant did see it in his house..."

Before the emperor could speak, Qingchen ordered: "Go to Wang Song's room to search for things, and bring Xiao Yinzi along, I have something to ask him, as for you two..."

After a pause, seeing that these two people were so greedy for life and afraid of death, Qingchen sneered and said with a sneer: "Give poison, and then expose the corpses to be buried in mass graves. After the two of you die, I will continue to investigate this matter. But the two of you were careless in your errands, which almost poisoned the master's life, so you are not wronged. But before that, I will give you a quarter of an hour to allow you to go back and organize your things. After you die, I will The palace will ask people to send your things to your family, which can be regarded as the grace of the palace to you. Come on, delay! I don’t want to hear their ghosts and wolves howling. If you cherish your life so much, why don’t you want to work hard?”

Chen Cheng and Wang Song were dragged down. The emperor looked at her thoughtfully, knowing that she might have her own plans, so he didn't say anything to stop her.

It was passed on to Chen Cheng and Wang Song, and Xiao Yinzi had already got the news, so when he saw the emperor, he calmly saluted and said, "Your majesty, imperial concubine, I never sent anyone to buy anything. The poison, the thing in Wang Song's hand, was not given to him by the servant. The servant just learned about the poisoning of Mr. Shu Gui. Although he was shocked, he really didn't know what happened, and asked the emperor and empress to investigate clearly. "

Judging from Chen Cheng's meaning, it must be that Xiao Yinzi asked someone to buy poison, secretly instigated Wang Song to poison the silk thread, and then sent the innocent Chen Cheng to Qixiang Palace. Wang Song just found a For the dead ghost, but Qingchen knew that without her order, Xiao Yinzi would never do such a thing for no reason, so Chen Cheng would not be wronged.

Qing Chen was full of blessings and said solemnly: "Your majesty, this concubine is not pleading for Xiao Yinzi, let alone excuse myself, I just hope that the emperor can give this concubine a few hours, and this concubine will be able to find out what happened. matter, let Shu Gui be fair."
