Playful Queen

Chapter 128

Meng Li didn't speak, but just glanced at Zi Yechen inadvertently, only to find that his scrawny eyes were looking at his beloved woman, but she had an indescribable feeling, what was it?She didn't want to think that tonight, in this scene, she needed him as an audience.

At this moment, the chief guard who had been following Mengli to investigate the case this morning just hurried in.

"Your Majesty, I greet the Emperor, the Empress, and the Concubine Yun." After the kowtow, he did not straighten his back, but continued to report with his hands clasped together: "My Majesty, the court lady named Chunmei who was interrogated just now committed suicide by taking poison, and she even said that she Killed."

"Chunmei killed Qiaoyu?!" Xia Yunxi looked at the chief guard who came to report in shock.

"The minister and several eunuchs present heard it. Afterwards, Qiushui, the palace maid of Fengyi Palace, took Chunmei and left, and then came to report to the minister."

As soon as these words were finished, Xia Yunxi's face was calm, and she turned her head to look at the emperor, "It seems that the truth has come out, I really didn't expect it to be someone else, the concubine thanked the empress for justice for the clever words. "Speaking, she stood up slowly to thank, but was interrupted by Mengli's words.

"I also can't think of someone else for Qiao Yu's death. As for seeking justice, it's too early for Concubine Yun to say this."

Qiu Shui came up softly and whispered something in Mengli's ear. Mengli put Xiaobai on the table on the left, got up slowly, walked to the gate of the palace, and said lightly: "This spring It is true that Mei is going to commit suicide by taking poison, but I am not feeling well today, so I asked the imperial physician Fengyi Palace to wait for me early in the morning. The girl saved her life."

In fact, it was Mengli who ordered Qiushui to invite the imperial doctor early in the morning to prepare for emergencies. However, as the empress had expected, Chunmei did develop the poison after meeting the queen. According to the normal time of poisoning , and then from the imperial hospital to the imperial doctor, during this period of time, he will definitely die from poison, Qiu Shui also sighed, the empress is really amazing.

This is not a god, but if she wants to finish the job today, then she has to think about all the aspects. This is just a coincidence. In fact, she was relieved when she heard Qiu Shui came to report, and she didn't die. innocent people.

At this time, Qiushui supported Chunmei, her face was still pale and bloodless due to poisoning, and her weak body was still limp. After entering, she knelt on the ground and thanked the empress without saying a word. Said: "My servant, thank you Empress Empress for saving my life, thank you Empress Empress."

The head guard who just came to report was also surprised, suddenly felt that he had neglected his duty, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, "The emperor forgives the sin, the empress forgives the sin, the minister made a mistake in the report."

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Chief Guard Xiao. It was Qiu Shui who was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly at that time, so he rushed to report to the masters. It was the servant's fault." Qiu Shui also knelt down in a sensible way, pleading for Xiao Gen, but Qiushui really had to do this, and there was no need to involve others.

"Since it was the negligence of the people in Fengyi Palace, it has nothing to do with Xiao Shiwei. Qiushui, when did you do things so sloppily?" Mengli's face was cold, and she raised her voice and yelled at Qiushui, who knelt on the ground, "Ma'am Forgive me, I know I was wrong."

"Okay, there's no need to discuss this matter again!" Zi Yechen is indeed a good audience. Knowing what he was thinking at this moment, or guessing something, he just said in his usual indifferent tone: "Queen, don't you want to continue?"

Mengli nodded, not looking at Xia Yunxi's expression at the moment, a pair of sharp eyes swept over Chunmei, and asked, "Chunmei, do you know how you were poisoned?"

Chunmei shook her head, and said what she could think of: "These servants have a stomachache these days, and they can't eat anything. They are all secretly cooking some porridge in their residences. In the harem, we maids are You can't go to the imperial hospital to get the medicine, so, early this morning, sister Xiaoyu knew that the servant was not feeling well last night, so she specially brought the medicine for the stomachache to the servant." At this point, she herself suddenly realized that it was not the medicine that Xiaoyu took. Bar!

Thinking of this, it seems that she has discovered a bigger doubt. It should be her who connected the whole thing in her mind, "Empress, it must be sister Xiaoyu who wants to kill the servant."

"How do you say that?" Mengli asked very slowly, her delicate eyebrows raised slightly, staring at Chunmei, it seems that this girl is still enlightened.

"Last night, the servant went to the dry well and saw sister Qiaoyu fell to the bottom of the well, but she was still able to climb up and call. Afterwards, the servant ran to the Ningyun Palace to find someone, and met Sister Xiaoyu at the door. Later, my stomach hurt so much that I told sister Xiaoyu and left, and sister Xiaoyu delivered medicine to the servant the next day, and poisoned the servant, just to put blame on the servant!" Chunmei said with a weak breath, her heart Only then did I understand, and looked up at the queen empress.

"Chunmei, do you know the consequences of saying this? Concubine Yun of Ningyun Palace is also here. You said it was Xiaoyu's clever words?" Mengli turned her head to look at Xia Yunxi, and saw her Still calm and composed.

But the second Mengli saw her, her face was gloomy, and she slapped the armrest of the chair vigorously, "Is it Xiaoyu? How could it be Xiaoyu?" She leaned on the back of the chair as if injured, as if nothing I don't know that the general was frightened suddenly.

"I'm also very surprised. Captain Xiao, immediately go to Ningyun Palace and bring Xiaoyu to Fengyi Hall. I have something to ask. If Chunmei slanders others, I won't let you go!" Looking at Chunmei viciously, Chunmei was frightened by her eyes, her heart was shocked, and she immediately lowered her head.

At this time, Yun Xi's face was sad, but the hands under Yun's sleeves were tightly pinching the armrest of the chair, looking at Shen Mengli, a sinister flash of viciousness flashed in her heart.

Mengli still lowered her head and stroked the cat lying on the table, looking calm, but a smile appeared on her lips, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her, teasing Xiaobai from time to time, but I don't know, a pair of scrawled black eyes stared at her inadvertently, and the light shone on her soft little face, showing all kinds of charm, but when he saw how much she loved that kitten, his eyes became Shen Shen, Li'er, do you really like the kitten that Mo Yu gave you so much?
Time passed like this, the sky outside was covered by darkness, and the chilly autumn wind howled, Chief Guard Xiao returned to Fengyi Palace with the wind.
