Emperor Jin

Chapter 127
"Is this the secret medicine in your palace? It exploded on the spot, but it can't kill people..."

Bao Jin laughed back angrily, and looked directly at Mingyue, who burst into anger, and said in a cold voice: "This is absolutely impossible, the medicine is silent, but it will vomit blood and die after three hours, how could it be like this?" Situation?!"

Seeing her categorical words, Bao Jin couldn't help being suspicious. She pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, "Although I'm not good at medicine, I also know the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint—maybe someone put something else in?"

Mingyue's eyes flashed, as if thinking of something, at this moment Ji Xin wandered in from outside the hall and whispered something in Bao Jin's ear.

"Are you sure it's Xu Yinghua?"

"Long Live hasn't issued an edict yet, but I just asked Zhonggong and Concubine Xian to investigate together."

Bao Jin's beautiful eyes flickered, "Strange, Xu Yinghua shouldn't be so restless..."

"Then, that's..."

She looked at the palace in the night, the wind tower where the highest place was like a proud phoenix, and the golden glazed tiles were shining brightly.

"Queen?!"

"Could it be...she personally recommended Langjiao to the emperor, but deliberately set up such a cruel trick?!"

****
"Empress, you have been tired all day, it's time for you to rest..."

Lin'er glanced at the queen's gloomy jade face, and said timidly.

"The case has been tried for a day, but it is still like falling into the clouds."

The queen sighed, as if she was asking her, but also as if she was talking to herself, "So blatant, do you think...is there such a stupid prisoner in the world?"

Lin'er was asked abruptly, but she had to agree to the master's question. She considered for a moment, and then said: "Maybe, Xu Jieyu is obsessed with anger... After all, Wan Sui has been staying with her all along, and if he is suddenly replaced by a newcomer, anyone will jealous."

The queen shook her head lightly, "If it was really her doing, she would have done it well, and no one would have caught her at all."

She looked at the night, her eyes were as bright as autumn water, and she looked at the mirror lake in the imperial garden, as if she was drowning in it——

"Perhaps, she did the opposite. The more obvious and abrupt she is, the more she seems to have been framed and wronged. Then, who wants to kill her wrongly? Of course it is the jealous and domineering queen of this palace..."

Lin'er was suddenly cheerful, and she couldn't help feeling horrified, "This lowly maid is really insidious!"

The queen shook her head, Qing Wan said with a smile: "The daughters of the Yun family are used to acting cute and pitiful, and this palace has learned a lot. Concubine Yunxian is really blessed. A niece can be so young, it is really a powerful help... "

She thought of Fang Wanqing who was being grounded by her, and only contempt and regret remained in her heart. Thinking of how hard she was working out, but someone in the family was tripping her up, waiting to see a joke, she felt exhausted and chilled.

Immersed in her own emotions, she didn't realize that there was a figure sneaking away under the window of the bedroom.

****
In the early morning of the next day, after the emperor finished his small court, he went straight to Zhaoyang Palace.

The queen personally welcomed him in, handed him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Long live is so anxious, I'm afraid it's because you are worried about your two beauties?"

The emperor smiled slightly, not taking the half-joking half-serious words to heart, "Zitong, why are you making fun of it? Now that the harem is in trouble, it's up to you to resolve this matter satisfactorily with your wisdom and ingenuity!"

"The concubine will do her best."

The queen didn't take credit for it, she said indifferently, and then she asked again: "How are Nanhunhou and Chen Guiren doing now?"

"The imperial doctor finally rescued him. Now Nanhunhou is safe, but Langjiao is still in a coma. If he doesn't wake up again, he may be paralyzed by the medicine stone."

After the emperor sighed sadly, there was a burst of cold anger - he had just conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, but this kind of thing happened again, and rumors were flying all over the world, he would definitely be regarded as a dishonest, stubborn and suspicious villain!
"The concubine discussed with sister Yun for a long time, and felt that the evidence for this matter was conclusive and irrefutable."

Hearing what she said, the emperor's heart sank, and he said slowly, "I know you never liked Mrs. Xu..."

"Where did the emperor say that I am the middle palace and in charge of the affairs of the sixth palace, how can I judge crimes and punishments based on my own likes and dislikes?!"

The empress had high willow eyebrows, and she couldn't hide her sullenness in her words.

She spoke brightly, and continued, "Only the evidence is conclusive, which makes people feel suspicious - Xu Jieyu is not a fool, how could he let the maid poison him so blatantly?! So the suspect must not be her."

The emperor couldn't help being startled when he heard her decisive decision. The two of them were already arguing, and their voices were not low. Bao Jin, who was standing in front of the palace gate, heard it clearly, but he was not surprised.

Last night, Aunt Ren was snooping under the Queen's window, then hurried over and told her about the Queen's conjecture.

Since the empress thought that Xu Yinghua was deliberately raising doubts, of course she would not give her this opportunity, and simply made a virtuous and decisive gesture to make the emperor respect her even more.

Sure enough, the emperor sighed with deep apologies: "I never thought that the first person to defend Xu Jieyu would be you, Zi Tong... I really saved the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

"I'm no gentleman, I'm just a difficult little girl..."

The empress smiled sweetly, and stared at the emperor with a half-smile, "You and I know each other as husband and wife, how could you misunderstand me so much?"

The emperor was squeezed by her, and he had nothing to say. When he was embarrassed, the empress revealed the matter with a smile. She looked outside the palace and said, "Sister Yun brought Xu Jieyu along."

Concubine Yun Xian walked over weakly, and after paying homage, she did not dare to sit down. The emperor comforted her again and again, and then she sat down anxiously, choking with sobs, and said: "Last night I forced Yinghua to question her for a whole night. Long live the judge."

The emperor was about to speak to declare Xu Yinghua's innocence, but he swallowed the words and nodded his head when he heard this sentence.

Xu Yinghua's face was haggard, but her eyes were full of blazing light. She knelt in the hall and said proudly: "I am innocent, I have never done that beastly thing!"

Bao Jin stared at her angry eyes from the side in the bright place outside the hall, and a thought slowly rose in his heart——

Something is wrong... There is something strange in it!
