The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 117 The Persian Cat Meows, I Poisoned

After saying that, everyone's hearts trembled slightly, and they were all thankful that they didn't get too close to Feng Xihe when the incense was lit.

Emperor Changde's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Zhao Chu and Xia Heng: "Is the evidence complete?"

But Xia Heng hesitated and refused to say, Zhao Chu was poisoned, his words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't elaborate.

After a while, when Concubine Zhao saw this, she pointed at Feng Qingyue's mother and daughter who were prostrate on the ground, and said to Zhao Chu angrily, "Chu'er, when you interrogated witnesses with Master Shangshu just now, did they all recruit them?"

"Yes." Zhao Chu's face darkened, and he couldn't say another word.

He didn't like this arrogant and willful eldest sister very much in his heart. If it wasn't for the Zhao family covering her back, she might not be able to be a noble concubine for how long.He was worried that after the Zhao family, sooner or later, she would be implicated.

Concubine Zhao did not pay attention to Zhao Chu's expression, she turned to look at Aunt Wanqiu happily.

Feng Qingyue huddled beside Aunt Wanqiu and shivered. She also knew that Feng Qingyue was mentally abnormal, so she asked Aunt Wanqiu directly, "Listen to Chu'er, you admit that it was Miss Feng who asked your daughter to mix the silk thread in the embroidered dress. God smells good?"

Aunt Wanqiu raised her head timidly, her eyes were full of fear.

She looked at Feng Xihe, but Feng Xihe's face was full of alienation and indifference, and he didn't even pay attention to her.

Aunt Wanqiu's heart felt astringent, and she thought, "Forget it, it's all my fault."

After thinking for a long time, she raised her eyes, and the panic just now had all faded away, leaving nothing but desolation.

"I would like to report to you, the lady's gowns have always been sewn by the young girl. During this period, she never made any extra requests, let alone asking the young girl to add anything."

After the words fell, Feng Xihe turned around in astonishment.

There was annoyance in Zhao Chu's eyes, and a sharp cold light seemed to shoot out of it, and cast it on Feng Qingyue, the meaning in it was self-evident.

Concubine Zhao's almond-shaped eyes widened, her willow eyebrows stood on end, and she slapped the back of the chair angrily, "Say it again!"

Aunt Wanqiu was much calmer than before, she silently looked away, and said earnestly: "Master, I can be sure that the young lady didn't ask me and the young girl to add anything."

"Where does the fragrance on the dress come from? Why do the people who are close to her fall to the ground for no reason?" Concubine Zhao continued to ask, unwilling to give up.

Aunt Wanqiu took a deep breath, a few tears were rolling, and suddenly replied: "That's because..."

"The imperial concubine!" Feng Xihe cut off Aunt Banqiu's words, and after hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You said I added the fragrance of God on purpose?"

"Then if I don't hand in the dress and have it inspected, wouldn't it be justified?"

Concubine Zhao Gui who was at the side listened and snorted coldly, "It's good that you know."

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to have Feng Xi and the faded dress presented up for inspection.

Zhao Chu's face turned cold, looking at Feng Xihe's confident appearance, he suspected that she had other plans.However, it was too late, the gown had already been spread out on a long table by the palace people, and the imperial doctor in the palace came to check it.

However, after waiting for a long time, the imperial doctor replied: "The silk thread on the gown is not only stained with autumn lotus powder, but also added a little lilac powder, so when the incense is lit, the fragrance will be more fragrant."

"Other than that, we officials did not find Yeshenxiang from Miaojiang."

Concubine Zhao's eyes were wide open, her long nails were stuck on the armrest of the chair, and she couldn't help asking: "Physician Chen, are you sure you checked correctly, the scent is obviously very wrong."

Doctor Chen also has a temper. Hearing her doubts, he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

"Imperial Concubine, I have practiced medicine for several years, so I still have some ability to make judgments. Although the production of Yeshenxiang is rare, its taste is extremely unique. If it is true, I will not fail to find out."

"Impossible!" Concubine Zhao frowned slightly, and couldn't help throwing sharp eyes at Feng Xihe.

Tears rolled in Feng Xihe's eyes, and she asked in amazement: "The imperial concubine, why are you so sure? Do I deserve to be wronged by you?"

As she spoke, she cast a pitiful look at the queen mother, her body trembled like a fragile flower branch about to wither under the heavy rain.

But at this moment, she felt the back of her hand in the robe suddenly warm, and looked in surprise, only to find that Gu Shiyin had already held her hand tightly. She was startled, and wanted to withdraw it, but she couldn't. .

Gu Shiyin's twinkling phoenix eyes sparkled with interest, he moved closer to her, and said in a low voice: "As long as you agree to what I said last time, how about I help you settle it?"

Feng Xihe's face was reddish, knowing that he was referring to marrying him, and he became inexplicably flustered.

After that, she glared at him angrily, then lowered her head angrily and said nothing.

In the eyes of the queen mother, her appearance seemed extremely wronged.Because of the previous incidents, the Queen Mother had prejudice against the Zhao family, and the fact that Concubine Zhao was domineering in the harem, she never liked it.

Therefore, at this moment, the Empress Dowager returned to Zhao Guifei displeasedly, "Although you are a noble concubine, you can't do whatever you want at any time. You'd better save some face for the royal family when you speak and do things in the future. Don't talk empty words." teeth, slandering innocent people at will."

Concubine Zhao got angry for a moment, and cast a look of pleading for help to Emperor Changde, and said angrily, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Changde looked at Gu Shiyin, then at the Queen Mother, sighed, and said, "Be more restrained in the future."

"Meow-"

At this moment, the Persian cat brought over by Concubine Zhao ran around, stretched out its claws like crazy, and began to pounce on the people present.

Some people's arms have been scratched by Persian cats with several paw prints, and after a while, they turned black and ooze pus and blood.

Seeing that the Persian cat was about to pounce on the Queen Mother, Feng Xihe rushed over quickly, stepped in front of the Queen Mother, and slapped the cat to the ground.

The Queen Mother and everyone looked at the girl in front of them with pity, obviously about to faint, but they still insisted on protecting the Queen Mother.

Gu Shiyin's thin lips curled slightly, one hand rested on the back of the chair, and he looked over with a smile from the corner of his eyes.This little girl doesn't seem to want his help.

The Persian cat curled up on the ground in pain, howling incessantly.

Everyone present was terrified, and hurriedly asked the imperial doctor present to bandage the person who was scratched by the cat just now.

But when the imperial doctor was treating the wound, he exclaimed, "This cat is poisonous!"

However, it is the most common poison, not some God incense that most people have not heard of.

Concubine Zhao sat slumped on the chair, covered her mouth with her long nails inlaid with jewels, and looked at her cat in disbelief.

Some people in the audience began to discuss, "I remember that the cat of the imperial concubine did run out, could it be that it happened to be near Miss Feng at that time, and scratched the cat who held the blessing bell?" Common people, then, we all thought it was Miss Feng who poisoned me?"

Those who thought it made sense nodded in agreement.

Emperor Changde was furious, and slapped Concubine Zhao Gui all at once, almost knocking her face crooked.

"No wonder I told you many times not to bring this kind of beast, but you still want to bring it because you want to murder my people!"

"Your Majesty, listen to the concubine! How could the concubine poison her own cat!" Concubine Zhao called out her injustice, grabbing Emperor Changde's robe with both hands, refusing to let go.

She glanced towards the cat, only to see that the poor cat had already been wrapped up in a roll of black cloth by the palace servants and taken away. Presumably, she would only encounter misfortune.

Mrs. Zhao did not expect that it was Zhao Guifei's Persian cat that was finally found to be poisoned. She was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth. She looked at Zhao Chu helplessly.

She rushed over to beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, you have to trust the imperial concubine, she is a good imperial concubine in the harem, how could she meddle in outside affairs for no reason and poison the people."

"Besides, she poisoned her cat, isn't it just to make all the evidence point to her?"

Emperor Changde didn't believe these words, he remembered all the good things Concubine Zhao Gui had done before, but he didn't say it clearly.

Especially during the meeting in the palace, he has been wondering until now whether Concubine Zhao blatantly gave Gu Linlang and Zhao Tian the love potion for other purposes, and then deliberately used this matter to cover it up.

After a while, the queen mother sneered disdainfully: "Then if Xihe puts the incense of God in his dress, isn't he afraid that all the evidence will point to him? Mrs. Zhao also talks nonsense in front of Ai's family and His Majesty, as if Concubine Zhao is the most innocent."

"Mrs. Zhao, you can't use one set of standards to ask others, and another set of standards to ask Concubine Zhao Gui?"

Feng Xihe just hung his head beside him, silently being a victim.

Mrs. Zhao was choked for a while, and suddenly felt confused.However, she was afraid that if she said one more word, it would cause trouble even more, so she couldn't help but also fell silent.

Concubine Zhao had no choice but to beg for herself, "Your Majesty, you know what kind of person this concubine has been with you for so many years, you must trust this concubine!"

Reluctantly, Emperor Changde faced him with a cold face, "Then tell me, it wasn't you who did the poison, but who did it?"

"Yes..." Zhao Guifei felt desperate, as if she was looking for something.

"It's me." At this moment, Aunt Wan Qiu pulled Feng Qingyue away, stood up slowly from the ground, walked forward step by step, and knelt down.

This move of hers stunned everyone, including Feng Xihe, Feng Xihe didn't expect that Aunt Wanqiu was still protecting the Zhao family at this time.

Aunt Wanqiu ignored everyone's gazes, raised her head and repeated what she just said, "Your Majesty, just now, the imperial concubine's cat slipped out of her arms, and it was the minister who took the opportunity to poison the imperial concubine's cat. And approached Miss Feng, put the cat in the crowd, creating the illusion that Miss Feng poisoned."

Emperor Changde raised his eyebrows coldly and asked, "Why did you do that?"
