Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 69

"Oh! A cup of tea?" Du Xiaoyue sneered, and her smile gradually widened, "Don't forget, the person drinking the same pot of tea is Concubine Tong Gui, how can she be fine? If I really want to murder the royal heir, why not Make a thorough plan—Concubine Tong Gui will also be my candidate for assassination! Also, there are more than 20 teacups still on the table, General Xiao can take those teas to test to see if the tea water is really poisonous! "

"This is a later story. Now, this general is carrying out the emperor's will! Empress, please!" Xiao Yong insisted, and at the same time signaled his subordinates to take Du Xiaoyue away.

Ah!The empress's cry was really ironic!Du Xiaoyue sneered in her heart, Xiao Yong didn't care about her own analysis at all, but simply carried out the holy will—Tan Wenhao, your will is really deadly! "Get out of the way!" Du Xiaoyue looked coldly at the two guards who came forward, "I will leave by myself!" Ha!This is the legendary protection?Tan Wenhao, you are really ruthless, without any evidence, just a word from others shut me down!
"Xiaoyue!" Liu Mengnan was anxious, and took Du Xiaoyue's hand. Du Xiaoyue's analysis was very reasonable, and they could have the imperial doctor test the tea on the table!But now how can Xiao Yong arrest people indiscriminately?Even if the emperor was hit by the loss of the prince, lost his mind and made a wrong decision, but Xiao Yong is a calm person, why is he so unreasonable? "Commander Xiao, can't you wait a little longer on this matter? Can't you make plans after letting the imperial physician verify the facts?"

"Mistress Liu, this subordinate has been talking nonsense for so long because of your face." Xiao Yong said in a cold voice, "As for whether the empress has poisoned the prince, we will have to go through the trial to find out!"

"Mengnan!" Du Xiaoyue sighed softly, pushed Liu Mengnan's hand away, glanced at the red silk and green bamboo, and finally looked at Liu Mengnan again, "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!"

"Miss!" Du Xiaoyue, who was restrained by the guards and taken away by the guards, was anxious.

Du Xiaoyue took two steps, and stopped again when she heard the shouts of Red Silk and Green Bamboo, turned around, looked at Red Silk and Green Bamboo calmly, and then left.

That night, in Nuanxin Pavilion, it was the time when swords were on the verge of breaking out.

"Your Majesty, Xiaoyue will never poison Concubine Li Gui!" Du Zhengxuan, who was dressed in black, knelt on the ground, raised his head, and stared straight at Tan Wenhao, "She has no reason or motive to poison Concubine Li Gui! "

"I know!" Tan Wenhao stood up, walked two steps left and right, then propped himself up on the table, and said angrily, "However, the tea brought back by Xiao Yong does have the fragrance of eating souls!"

"Even if there is a soul-eating fragrance, it doesn't necessarily come from Xiaoyue!" Du Zhengxuan retorted, "Xiaoyue has never been out of the palace, where did she get these things? You know that Xiaoyue can't do these things, Why do you still..."

"Today Li Shangshu's wife came to visit relatives in the palace. Coincidentally, when she came, she happened to hear the imperial doctor's questioning, and then she cried to death and asked me to punish the murderer." Tan Wenhao sat on the chair and sighed softly. , "You should also know that in that case, I... Forget it, let's not mention it. Emperor brother, how is the trial going at Ye Ting?"

"It's nothing." Tan Wenbo stood aside, "She never came out and confessed."

"Nongdie, have you found out about her?" Tan Wenhao stood up, walked down the steps, and asked slowly.

"It's been found out. As my subordinates deduced, she was threatened, so she had to work for them to frame Xiaoyue." Du Zhengxuan stood up, took out a stack of kraft paper parcels from his arms, and handed them to Tan Wenhao, "These are all the materials of her family."

Tan Wenhao took it, did not open it to read, put it on the table beside him, thoughtful.

"Such a big thing happened in the palace, I'm afraid they know about it!" Tan Wenbo lowered his head slightly, and took two steps closer to Du Zhengxuan, "What did they do?"

"There's nothing special to do, I'm planning to send Jiang Liangdi to the ancestral mausoleum for burial tomorrow." After Du Zhengxuan finished speaking, he turned to Tan Wenhao and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, please Let Xiaoyue send Jiang Liangdi off tomorrow!"

"Brother Huang, what Nongdie said is correct. If she is not allowed to go, I'm afraid she will hate... very sad." Tan Wenbo also agreed with Du Zhengxuan's idea. His mother was buried, but his daughter could not see her off for the last time. , It's too unkind - although Du Xiaoyue is imprisoned, she must be innocent!
"No!" Tan Wenhao refused, and sat back on the dragon chair, "Now Du Xiaoyue is guilty, and when the matter is not cleared, she can't leave the Zongju Bureau—don't you want to ignore the laws and regulations? If she breaks the law because of this For example, how can this country be governed?"

These words left both Tan Wenbo and Du Zhengxuan speechless.

Du Xiaoyue lay peacefully on the bed in the cell of the Zongju Bureau, staring at the beam above.This cell is a single room, there are no other prisoners, there is a bed and a table, there are quilts on the bed, and there are some tea and pastries on the table.And since he came in, no one has interrogated Du Xiaoyue, let alone executed the [-] kinds of torture on Du Xiaoyue.The guarding eunuchs were still polite, they didn't yell or make ugly faces.All of this made Du Xiaoyue feel that she didn't feel like a 'criminal' should be treated!

The sound of light footsteps came, and finally stopped outside the cell door, but Du Xiaoyue was caught in her own thoughts, and didn't notice that someone was standing outside observing her.

"Xiaoyue!" Tan Wenbo looked at Du Xiaoyue who was lying on the bed in a daze. Her eyes were a little dull, there was no trace of blood on her face, and there was no sign of her touching the food on the table. In my heart, it's only been one day, and she's so haggard!
Hearing a familiar but faint but unclear call, the tight string in Du Xiaoyue's mind was finally loosened. She turned her head subconsciously, looked at a familiar face, and couldn't help but twitched. Laughing: "It's you! Why did you come here?" After finishing speaking, Du Xiaoyue took over the conversation by herself again, "Ha, am I an idiot for what I said? You are a prince, so you can come here naturally!" Get up and walk to the prison door.Looking at Tan Wenbo through the prison door, Du Xiaoyue suddenly felt a sense of security in her heart. He was the only one who came to see her in the prison today. "However, even if you are a prince, you can't enter such a place without permission!"

"It's okay here! They didn't embarrass you?" Even if you know that the emperor's brother has issued an order not to allow people from the Zongju Bureau to embarrass her, you don't feel at ease. few!
"Okay! Some eat and some sleep! Even in Zhaoyang Palace, my life is like this!" Du Xiaoyue shrugged nonchalantly, joking to herself, "Now it's just a change of place. , I happened to be tired from staying in Zhaoyang Palace, and wanted to change the environment, and before I had time to make a wish to God, it came true, tell me, is this God a roundworm in my stomach?"

"Such a joke is not funny at all!" Tan Wenbo looked at Du Xiaoyue's bitter melon-like smile, frowned, and then glanced at the prison door, "I'll come in and have a conversation with you!"

"No need!" Du Xiaoyue rebuffed without thinking, "I'm a guilty person now, and you are a prince, if the people in the palace find out, I'm afraid you will be in trouble again. There you are, I want to ask you a few words!"

"What do you want to know?"

"Do you believe that I didn't plant the poison?" Du Xiaoyue asked tentatively.

"I know you won't do such a boring thing with no practical value." He replied decisively.

She smiled comfortably, and lightly flapped her eyelashes: "Thank you. I thought you didn't believe me anymore!" Heh!At least, there is still such a person who still believes that he will not do such a boring thing!
Tan Wenbo's heart was a little choked up, she said a single word, so what she wanted to express was, is there anyone who doesn't believe her words?Could it be him? "Do you want to go out tomorrow?" Reluctant to continue asking, he changed the subject and asked softly, "Tomorrow your mother...your mother is going to have a funeral."

"Should I be let out, or should I sneak out?" Du Xiaoyue tilted her head lightly and asked with a half-smile.

"The person who poisoned him hasn't been found yet," Tan Wenbo said flatly.

Du Xiaoyue understood the meaning of talking about Wenbo, she smiled indifferently, but she was utterly desolate: "It's okay, I still won't go tomorrow. Mother will understand my difficulties!" Given her current situation, no matter what she did, she had to be careful Otherwise, he might really kill himself in the next second. "Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. If I can still go out of the palace normally, I will treat you to a big meal to express my gratitude." Normal means alive, not exiled, not turned into a slave, and still considered a free people.

"Don't think too pessimistically! Don't worry, you will leave the palace safely." Tan Wenbo wanted to grab Du Xiaoyue's hand, but he retracted it in mid-air - Du Xiaoyue put his hand back.

"Thank you!" Seeing his raised hand, Du Xiaoyue subconsciously retracted it, pinched her fingertips lightly, nodded, and replied from the bottom of her lungs, remembering the poisoning again, "By the way, Have you tested whether all the tea is poisonous?"

"Yes!" Tan Wenbo also followed Du Xiaoyue's words to resolve the sudden subtle atmosphere, "Fortunately, you didn't let people take away all the teacups. The water in the tea proved that what happened this morning It was purposely aimed at Li Qianrou."

"Well, what about Tong Ruyan? Why didn't anyone say something happened to her? Could it be that the poison is only effective on Li Qianrou? Or is there something wrong with Tong Guifei Huailongzi?" Du Xiaoyue raised her lips and sneered, "It seems that what happened today , it’s not just my family that’s worried!”
