Adorable Genius: Miracle Physician Concubine Cai Mi

Chapter 143 Who Is The Prisoner?
Ji Wutian really didn't want and would not let the queen mother interfere in the affairs of the previous court, but the person who poisoned the emperor was someone from the harem, so it doesn't matter if the queen mother wants to know.

As early as when the emperor's accident happened, the empress took down all the suspects very quickly, and quickly notified Ji Wutian, and the two followed the vines to find out several people. At this time, these people were detained in the side hall waiting to be dealt with .

Because the queen mother was anxious to know the truth, the queen was afraid that she would disturb Ji Wutian again, so she let the prince guard his father and went to the side hall together.

When she got there, the Empress Dowager was startled when she saw a few familiar faces: "Beauty Xue! Concubine Xian? And—Concubine Wei!?"

The three people whose names she called saluted the queen mother, but their faces were not very good. Besides them, there were several important witnesses and even the convicts' palace maids in the palace, Green Ring, and Condensed Dew. , and several other palace people.

These people knelt on the ground, their faces were pale and terrified, and their eyes were still shining with uneasiness, surprise and fear.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Wei are old people in the palace. When they encountered such a panic situation, they still tried their best to keep calm on their faces. Concubine Wei even asked the queen immediately after seeing the queen: "How is the emperor's health? Have the people from the Tai Hospital detoxified the poison? Didn’t I hear that Princess Yu was invited? Has the person arrived?”

The queen glanced at Concubine Wei lightly: "Your Majesty is fine for the time being, Princess Yu has arrived."

Concubine Wei was about to continue asking, but she heard the Empress Dowager pointing at her nose in disbelief and questioning, "Could it be that you are going to kill the emperor!?"

As soon as this remark came out, the three of them changed their faces at the same time, denying in unison: "I didn't!"

The queen mother didn't believe it, "If not, why did King Yu and the queen detain you? Do you dare to say that the poisoning of the emperor has nothing to do with you!?"

This time, the three of them were silent.

It's not that they are guilty of being told, but whether they are directly or indirectly, they are indeed the people involved in the incident, even if they have done nothing, the accident is the king of a country, and it is not so easy for them to separate the relationship.

Especially Concubine Wei, the reason why the emperor was poisoned was in the final analysis because he ate the plate of plum cake she gave to Xue Meiren!

Concubine Wei was angry and panicked when she learned what had happened, she was afraid that something would happen to the emperor, and she was even more annoyed that someone dared to use her to borrow a knife to kill someone!
This is pinching her, Wei Lingyue, as a soft persimmon! ?

"Whether it's related or not, we have to interrogate these people to know. The queen mother should not rush to convict them, let's listen to what these palace people have to say." Ji Wutian interrupted what the queen mother wanted to continue to criticize.

The Empress Dowager glared at them fiercely, then sat down with the Empress and Ji Wutian, and began to interrogate them.

Before the Empress Dowager came, Ji Wutian had already asked some things first, now in order to let the Empress Dowager understand the situation, they need to repeat it again, just to check for gaps and make up for omissions, to see if there is any discrepancy with the previous confession.

From the emperor visiting the Seventh Prince in Shuxian Palace, to the court lady Ninglu bringing snacks, the emperor accidentally swallowed poison and fell into a coma. Still very dignified.

The Empress Dowager has been immersed in the harem for decades, so how can she not know the secrets inside? Concubine Wei may not have hidden any good intentions in her dim sum last time, but if she said that she wanted to harm the emperor, she didn't quite believe it.

For no reason.

It's really important, shouldn't it be the idea of ​​beating the prince for the sixth child?
The sixth child is only three years old this year. The emperor really has something good or bad. The most likely thing is that the crown prince ascends the throne and King Yu becomes the regent, which will not do any good to Concubine Wei.

So, don't look at the queen mother who always does some headaches on weekdays, she is not really brainless, and it is impossible for a brainless person to laugh and become the queen mother in the end.

Furthermore, according to what they said, the emperor was obviously implicated by Xuemei. If Xuemei hadn't happened to go to Concubine Xian at that time, causing the maid to send the cakes, the emperor would have no chance of being poisoned.

The people behind the scenes, or taking a step back and saying that it was Concubine Wei, how could they just calculate where the emperor would go at that time?

Ji Wutian had confirmed with Wei Liang before that the emperor went to Concubine Xian's place today on a whim, and did not call anyone in advance, and there was no time for people to make calculations in the middle.

If someone predicted that the emperor would value his heirs and predicted his actions in advance, there are too many variables, and the probability of targeting the emperor is really not high. It is more likely that some people in the harem competed for favor and became malicious, and Gongdou was implicated. The emperor comes up.

According to the confessions of Luhuan, Ninglu and other court ladies, Ninglu suddenly had a stomachache and left for a while on the way to deliver the snacks. At that time, Luhuan, who was alone with the snack box, had a great chance to poison the snacks.

But she is the maid next to Jiang Yingxue, so she has no reason to poison her master, right?Unless someone bought it.

From this point of view, the possibility of Ninglu being bribed also cannot be ruled out. Maybe the stomach pain was faked at the time, just to get rid of her suspicion?From the time she got the snack box until she met Green Ring, there were also plenty of opportunities to commit crimes.

The queen mother was suspicious, "Didn't everyone know that they were poisoned by the 'seven-day soul-destroying' poison? Why are they still suspected of this and that? Haven't they already found out who poisoned them? Those few over there What's the matter with the eunuchs? They also joined in?"

Guifei Wei said, "That's the cook in the small kitchen of the palace."

The queen mother frowned, "Do they know who injected the poison?" If the dim sum was already poisoned when it came out of the small kitchen, then those two maids would have nothing to do.

Concubine Wei glanced at the queen, but said nothing.

It was still Ji Wutian who said calmly: "The cook in the small kitchen confessed to the 'Seven Days of Broken Soul', but he couldn't tell the source of the poison, and even said that the queen ordered it."

"What!?" The queen mother turned her head to look at the queen in shock, she didn't expect that there was something about her, "Since you are also suspected, how dare you guard the emperor!?"

Before the queen could speak, Ji Wutian said, "A mere eunuch accuses the emperor's wife with empty teeth, without any evidence, so it can't be true."

The queen mother said: "But it is still possible, isn't it! Otherwise, why would a eunuch want to correct the queen?"

Ji Wutian: There are many reasons.

Maybe it was to confuse the public, or to throw dirty water to pull the queen down. It is normal for a malicious person to have any thoughts.

But before these words could be said, the cook kowtowed desperately: "I dare not poison the emperor even if I have ten small courage. The empress is worried that the newly favored beauties who entered the palace will threaten her status in the future." , so that people sent the 'Seven Days of Broken Soul' to let the little one find a chance to start."

Concubine Wei sneered, "You said that the empress wants to attack the beauties who have just entered the palace, but how does the empress know which beauties the palace will send snacks to?"

She just came here on a whim, no matter how well the queen knows herself, it is impossible to predict that she will use the method of giving snacks.

Didn't Xie Yunwan send jewelry over there?There is more than one method of mixing water.

"What's more, if a mere beauty wants to be able to threaten the queen, to put it bluntly, if the queen really wants to deal with a beauty, there are many ways based on her status, and there is no need to use this method at all."

Empress: "... Concubine Wei, be careful with your words." They talked nonsense about everything, without a clue.

Did she forget that she was still a suspect, and she still spoke so confidently as usual.

but……

Although Concubine Wei's words were not pleasant, they were not without reason.

Even Concubine Wei, who is usually at odds with the queen, opened her mouth, how could Ji Wutian do nothing while seeing her sister-in-law being identified.

I saw him staring at the cook coldly for a moment, then questioned: "You keep saying that the queen sent someone to instigate you, what is the evidence? Who did the queen send? If it is really the queen, in order not to put yourself If you get involved, you will definitely hide your identity and find a new face to meet with. In this case, how do you know who the person behind it is? When did that person meet you, what did they say, and is there any residue of the poison given to you? Bottles, paper packets, is there any evidence to prove that you poisoned the snacks?"

After asking a series of questions, the cook's expression froze.

Ji Wutian said coolly, "You don't think that just by opening your mouth, you want us to convict the queen?"

Using the words that his princess often said to mock people, where did he have such a big face?

The cook's face turned pale, and I've been 'for a long time, his eyes flickering, his expression panicked, he hesitated and couldn't say a complete sentence.

The few high-status people present are all good people, how can they not see the problem?
The cook saw that his words were not trusted, and a hint of determination suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Ji Wutian had a bad intuition, just stood up, and saw the cook rushing towards the pillars of the side hall without warning, as if he was about to commit suicide, the most annoying thing was that while rushing, he kept shouting 'it's the queen' Buying me', to put it nicely, is to show their ambitions with death, but to put it bluntly, it is clear that they want them to die without evidence, so that the queen can't get rid of the suspicion.

"Stop him!" Ji Wutian shouted angrily.

The guards present hurriedly rushed over to stop him, but after all, they were a little far away, and it seemed that it would be too late.

At the critical moment, Ji Wutian grabbed a grape grain from the decorative fruit plate on the table and flicked it in the direction of the cook, hitting the acupuncture points on the cook's body, causing the opponent's body to freeze, and was quickly held down by the guards to prevent him play tricks.

But the cook wasn't bluffing. He really wanted to die. When he realized that he couldn't control his limbs and couldn't move his body for some reason, he simply became cruel and bit his tongue hard.

The cook made a decision so quickly that even Ji Wutian couldn't stop it in time. The people around, especially the female relatives, saw the blood oozing from the other party's mouth, and subconsciously took a breath.

This is too cruel to myself, what kind of hatred and resentment!

One of the two guards holding him down was smarter, and reacted quickly to remove the opponent's chin, so as not to bite the other's jaw a second time and a third time, directly biting off the tongue.

But anyone with eyes can see that the chef bit it very hard. People in the world often say "bite your tongue to kill yourself". In fact, a person without a tongue will not die, but if you want to ask him, especially if you want to read the queen's confession , but it is impossible.
