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

Chapter 745 Where did the poison come from (5)
Could it be what the concubine Chen did? The empress dowager has been through so much trouble for a long time, how can she not understand such a simple frame-up, how can she, as the concubine, need to do it herself for such a terrible thing?It's just that Concubine Chen couldn't prove her innocence, and the Empress Dowager was also happy to push the boat along. Now that she heard her say this, she could only nod her head and said, "Speak up if you have something to say. If that's the case, send the two embroiderers up to ask questions."

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager." Then he told Yun Lan: "You go with me, you must remember the appearance of those two embroidered ladies?"

Yun Lan nodded hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will remember their looks."

Qin Wanrong worriedly reminded the Empress Dowager, "Concubine Chen wants to find someone to take the blame, right? Now Xiao Yinzi is also a famous person in the House of Internal Affairs, if she wants to find someone to take the blame for the empress, then it is not difficult."

"If I can find someone to take the blame for me, why should I do it myself? What's the benefit of bringing such a big suspicion on me?" Qingchen's tone was a little cold, even a little intolerable. Relying on the protection of the queen mother, Qin Wanrong He is really not afraid of anything, "Does Qin Wanrong spare her life? If you are also afraid of death, how much favor should I give to people to make them willingly die on the charge of mutilating the heir of the emperor? Don't you be afraid? Does it affect the Nine Clans?"

The corners of Qin Wanrong's eyes trembled and she was speechless. The Empress Dowager gave her a stern look, thinking that she could ask such a stupid question, it was really embarrassing for her, no wonder the emperor didn't like her.In the warm room, Gu Yunfeng was still trying his best to save the eldest prince, while concubine Chen was always troubled by not being able to prove her innocence. If she really did it, why did she take such painstaking efforts to make such a move?Just to catch up with someone who will take the blame for him for nothing?
The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup in great displeasure, took a sip of tea and wanted to rest her mind. After tossing and tossing for a long time, she was really a little tired. She was not in good health, and she was exhausted watching them argue for a long time. In the end, no one can necessarily get any benefits.Toiled for nothing, in the end, it was nothing but the life of an embroidered lady.Thanks to them for such shallow thoughts.

The queen mother closed her eyes and rested. Qin Wanrong and Qingchen dared not speak for fear of arguing with the queen mother. After a while, Yun Lan came back with someone. After a closer look, Qingchen saw that it was the one who asked to see her. The embroiderer of the purse.

Two young eunuchs escorted her up, the embroidered lady trembled in fright, kowtowed with a sallow face, and said: "Qiaohui, the maidservant of the Sixianfang, kowtows to the Empress Dowager for a thousand years, the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe, see the concubine Chen and Qin Wanrong. "

The Empress Dowager's eyes were slightly cold, she slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Bold maidservant, who gave you the courage to harm Concubine Chen, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame Aijia for making you die!"

Qiaohui trembled all over, she was not afraid of such a time, but she still dared not admit it, she knelt on the ground trembling and said: "Queen Mother, I don't know what the Queen Mother is talking about, I'm just a lowly secretary maid, how dare I To offend the concubine Chen, the servants are wronged."

Qingchen's voice was not loud, but the weight in these words was not light, making Qiaohui, who was already a little scared, kneel down on the ground like a snowball, "You know, you all planned to murder me, but you hurt Daddy by mistake. Prince, Qi'er is still in a coma. If you don't tell the truth, you can only bear the crime yourself. By then, not only your own life will be lost, but your whole family will also be punished. Say it or not Say, you have to think carefully."

Qiaohui didn't dare to say it, and she couldn't say it. When she was sent to the palace, she was prepared to come out to die for her master at a critical moment. She didn't even have her own surname, so how could she be afraid of hurting her family?
"Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged. I really don't know what Your Majesty is talking about, let alone what happened to the First Prince. The servant just looked at the beautiful purse on my Majesty's body and borrowed it to take a look. How could Your Majesty wrong me so much?"

Qingchen looked at her coldly, Qiaohui dared to deny it, but it was only because Qingchen had no evidence, but since Qingchen had figured out what happened, how could she not find her flaws?
She shook her head lightly, looked at Qiaohui sympathetically and said, "Since you insist on begging to die, then don't blame me for not letting you go." Picking up the purse on the table, Qingchen said slowly: "Bengong feels Someone should have asked you to forge this purse, otherwise we can find He Shuyi to testify, the needlework she does, no matter how much you imitate it, even Ben Gong can’t tell the real from the fake, but it must be the same. There will be differences, because when you made this purse, you have never seen what kind of purse He Shuyi made. It is just based on people’s description. Therefore, on this stitch, the difference between flat stitches, rolling stitches, virtual and real stitches, the depth of the needles, and the use of silk threads The number of strands, the density of embroidery, these are all different, others can't see it, but He Shuyi can see the difference at a glance. You are not the only embroiderer in the sewing room, as long as you take your usual If you compare the embroidery work you do, you will know whether this purse is from your hands."

Qingchen thinks that there are two situations in which a poisonous centipede appeared in her purse, one is that Qiaohui put the poisonous insect into her purse, and the other is that the purse was exchanged by her, something like a centipede Qiaohui will hurt herself if she holds it inappropriately, so to be on the safe side, she seals the centipede in her purse, and it will be less likely to be discovered if it is changed at a critical time.

Qiaohui knelt on the ground with a stiff face, she didn't know what to do without saying a word, the queen mother asked sharply: "Qiaohui, is the concubine Chen right? Did you make this purse?"

At this point in the matter, Concubine Chen had already made her words so clear, Qiao Hui knew that it was pointless to deny her any further, it was just delaying time, so she broke her heart and said with the determination to die: "Yes, this purse It was done by the maidservant, and the purse of the empress was thrown into the lake by the maidservant."

Qingchen followed closely and asked, "Who ordered you?"

Qiaohui now knew that she was going to die, and she couldn't hide anymore, so she calmed down, "It's just that the servant hates the empress, and no one instructed the servant, if the empress wants to kill, just kill the slave, there is no need to involve other people."

Qingchen naturally wouldn't believe her words, looked deeply at Qiaohui, and asked coldly: "I have no grievances or enmities with you, why did you harm me? If you were working in an embroidery room and hid expensive pearls, It’s still true, but the pearls on this purse are not ordinary, you little embroiderer, where did you get such good pearls? If you say no one instructed you, who will believe it!”
