The villain queen she is wrong

Chapter 43 Confession
Pointing at Qinglian, Xia Yan asked angrily, "You, what did you eat for me?"

She smiled innocently, and explained calmly: "It's just poison."

Hearing that it was poison, Xia Yan felt bad all over, and quickly scratched her throat again trying to spit it out.

"vomit, vomit..."

Qinglian felt refreshed in her heart, watched her vomit with great interest, and then said: "Xia Yan, as long as you answer your mother's words honestly, your mother will give you the antidote, otherwise, you will be Wait for the poison to take effect."

There was a surge of complacency in my heart, hmph, the empress still has a way, I don't believe it's all like this, Xia Yan still refuses to say it.

And Xia Yan hated her so much at this time, she stared at her fiercely like a poisonous snake, then turned her head to look at Xie Jintang in front of her and asked anxiously: "Empress Empress, are you just watching Qinglian doing evil?" ?"

Xie Jintang smiled brightly and charmingly, and said lazily, "Of course, after all, Qinglian was ordered by me."

This made Xia Yan very angry, even though it was all like this, she was still as stubborn as a duck, showing no fear at all.

Because in her opinion, as long as she persisted for a while, she would be fine if Concubine Shu's rescuers came over.

But she will be disappointed in the end.

At this time, Chun Jin's voice came from outside the door: "Empress, my servant has something to report."

Xie Jintang was a little puzzled, and said lightly: "Come in."

Immediately afterwards, Chun Jin walked in, followed by a woman in a white dress for a month, that woman was flustered and seemed very embarrassed.

As soon as Xie Jintang saw the color of the dress, he knew it was a third-class court lady.

After Xia Yan saw this person, she was shocked and dumbfounded, as if she couldn't believe why this person appeared here.

Everyone saw her reaction.

Chun Jin glanced at her and said, "Ah Fu, don't tell your mother everything you know yet."

The third-class court lady named Ah Fu knelt down with a "plop".

Kowtowing his head, he revealed his crime: "Empress, this servant is guilty, and this servant should not be bribed by Xia Yan to report to Shuluan Palace for her."

After speaking, she took out all the silver that Xia Yan gave her, and Qinglian who was next to her took it and presented it.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yan had no more to rely on. He couldn't bear it in his heart for a moment, and his whole body was on the verge of falling. After realizing what the consequences would be.

She knelt down in front of Xie Jintang with a "thump", and she kept kowtowing to confess her sins: "I know I was wrong, and I ask the empress to spare my life."

Xie Jintang didn't pay attention to Xia Yan, glanced at the money presented, and began to say: "Since you committed the first crime, you will be demoted to a low-class court lady. Go to the West Court later."

Ah Fu, who was kneeling below, was relieved when he heard that he was just demoted to a low-class court lady, and quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness."

Afterwards, Chun Jin took him down.

Xia Yan next to him was terrified at this moment, and his whole body was trembling non-stop.

She crawled to Xie Jintang's feet, kept kowtowing, and begged for mercy in fear: "Madam, the slave said, I just ask the majesty to spare the life of the slave."

Xie Jintang asked lightly: "Then I will ask you, but the person behind your poisoning is Concubine Shu."

Right now, in order to survive, Xia Yan told everything she knew.

"Yes, it was concubine Shu who ordered her servant to order it. That day, the servant saw that Ziyin was making soup, so she intentionally put laxatives in her food. Later, Ziyin went to her mother. The maid thought that the opportunity had come, but she didn't want to The okra suddenly appeared again, but in desperation, the servant could only use the ecstasy incense to stun it."

All of this was almost exactly as they had imagined.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xia Yan begged for mercy again: "Empress, please forgive me. Although this poison is a slow poison, as long as you don't consume much, it will not be life-threatening."

When Qinglian heard this, she immediately refuted her: "You're lying, and the medicine is obviously, that's..."

But at this point, she stopped suddenly, because Qinglian remembered that she had told her mother that the poison on her body had been cured, if she said it now, she would be cheating.

Then he quickly changed his argument to retort: ​​"How can the poison not be life-threatening, even if it is just a little, it is enough to kill people."

Xia Yan was frightened by these words, and anxiously explained: "This servant is not lying, this poison is called Honghuayin, if you don't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician."

"Honghuayin, how could it be Honghuayin..." After hearing this, Qinglian took a step back in disbelief, shaking her head and muttering in shock.

Shouldn't it be the poison of ebony?

Xia Yan must be lying.

Xie Jintang was naturally aware of her abnormality, and wondered why Qinglian reacted like this.

But Xia Yan obviously didn't lie, but Qinglian didn't seem to believe it. Could it be that she still has something to hide from herself?
In order to convince them, Xia Yan said: "Your Majesty, the servant has only poisoned you once, and the amount is not large, so it will not cause any harm to your body."

"What about the rest of the poison?"

"In the servant's room."

Then, Xie Jintang ordered people to search Xia Yan's room, and Qinglian wanted to go with her when she found out, so she agreed.

During the waiting period, Xia Yan was the most difficult.

In Qingyuan,

Chun Jin and Qing Lian came to Xia Yan's residence together.

After a while, I found the so-called safflower, as well as laxatives and incense.

Chunjin took a few bottles of medicine, walked over to Qinglian who was still looking for it and said, "Qinglian, I found it, let's go."

However, Qinglian never stopped the movements in her hands, she was still turning over non-stop.

She shook her head and explained: "Chun Jin, you also know that the poison in the empress is ebony, and it is absolutely impossible to be attracted by red flowers, so this Xia Yan must be a lie."

Chun Jin is more stable, after thinking for a while, he said the guess in his heart: "Perhaps besides her, there are other people who want to murder the empress, the medicine may have been replaced by the real mastermind behind the scenes, and Xia Yan is just a scapegoat." .”

They almost searched the whole house, but they still only found what Xia Yan said, so there was only one possibility, maybe even Xia Yan didn't know that the poison had been replaced by ebony wood. Or, after Xia Yan finished pouring the safflower, someone poured the poison of ebony into the Sishen soup.

Chun Jin said solemnly: "Qinglian, you go and hand over the evidence to your empress, and I will report this matter to His Majesty."

"Okay." Qinglian nodded in agreement.

In this way, the two men split into two groups and acted separately.

Go back to Fengluan Hall.

Soon, Qinglian brought the things back.

She presented the things up: "Niang Niang, this is what I found from Xia Yan's house."
