Chapter 44

Xie Jintang just raised his eyes and glanced, then said lightly: "Let's go, take the evidence and go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

For some reason, she had already found the person who poisoned her, but she always felt that something was wrong, and she felt a little uneasy.

Xia Yan knew that if this matter was stabbed to His Majesty, she might not be able to escape death, so she put all of this on Concubine Shu, pretending to be a victim and begging for mercy: "I beg your Majesty to be merciful, this servant is just obeying orders. Forget it, Concubine Shu ordered the servant to do all of this, if the servant refuses to obey, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

At the end, Xia Yan choked up and kowtowed, begging the people above to spare her life.

"Fuck, if you are really afraid of Concubine Shu, you can tell your empress about this, but you are still poisoned, so you are not innocent at all about this matter, and you still want your empress to be kind, go dreaming." Qinglian accused angrily.

Immediately afterwards, two eunuchs came in to arrest him.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Eunuch Su respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Chunjin from Fengluan Palace is asking to see you."

Zhou Chengjing didn't even raise his head, and said calmly, "Let her in."

Immediately afterwards, Chun Jin walked in hurriedly, immediately bowed first, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my maidservant Chun Jin."

Only then did he raise his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Chunjin, "Pingshen, Eunuch Su, go down."

Then, Chun Jin quickly reported: "Your Majesty, there has been new progress in the case of the empress's poisoning. It was the concubine Shu who ordered Xia Yan from Fengluan Palace to introduce the chronic poison safflower into the empress's daily food." , but by mistake, it was dropped by the real murderer and replaced with ebony poison."

After listening, Zhou Chengjing's face was cold, and he said coldly: "Concubine Shu, it seems that the confinement didn't make her settle down."

Chunjin naturally felt His Majesty's anger, even though she knew His Majesty's temperament, she still couldn't help but tremble.

After pondering for a while, he said lightly: "Okay, I already know, you can go back."

"Your maidservant will leave." Chun Jin withdrew.

Just at this time, Eunuch Su hurried in to report.

He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the empress is here."

Chun Jin who had just walked to the door heard such a sentence, if she went out at this time, she might be bumped into by the Empress Empress, but if she didn't leave, the Empress Empress would come in sooner or later.

Over there, Mr. Su was about to go out after the report. Seeing that she was still at the door in a daze, he asked, "Why is Miss Chunjin still in a daze?"

Chun Jin gave a friendly smile and said, "Let's go now."

At this time, a voice sounded from outside the door: "The slave is meeting the empress."

Eunuch Su went out to greet her with a smile, and Chun Jin also hurried out with her head down, trying to minimize her sense of presence.

Fortunately, Xie Jintang didn't notice her, but Qinglian next to her did.

Seeing that there were two young eunuchs guarding a young maid behind her, Eunuch Su asked curiously, "Empress Empress, who is this?"

She didn't answer, but asked, "Is Your Majesty inside?"

In this regard, Eunuch Su didn't make fun of himself, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Your Majesty, please go in."

Then, Xie Jintang walked straight into the hall, and the people behind quickly followed.

"See Your Majesty as a concubine."

"Slaves see Your Majesty."

Zhou Chengjing raised his eyes and saw Xia Yan who was being escorted behind him. Even though he already had the answer in his heart, he pretended not to know and asked, "This is the queen?"

She turned around and looked at Xia Yan coldly, and reprimanded: "Xia Yan, hurry up and tell your crimes."

Xia Yan knelt down on the ground with a "plop", her whole body was trembling, her face was pale with fright, and she begged for mercy in panic: "Your Majesty, servant, servant should not poison the empress, but this is not the case. The slaves are voluntary, but the concubine Shu forced the slaves."

Seeing that she obediently confessed, Xie Jintang breathed a sigh of relief, and then motioned for Qinglian to present the things, "Qinglian, present the evidence to Your Majesty."

Eunuch Su who came in from behind hastily took what was in Qinglian's hand and presented it to His Majesty.

Zhou Chengjing glanced at the so-called evidence, and then asked coldly: "You said that concubine Shu ordered you to do this, is there any evidence?"

At this time, in order to survive, Xia Yan had long neglected Concubine Shu, and directly betrayed her: "Yes, Concubine Shu gave the servant a golden hairpin, and the servant always carries it with her."

As he spoke, he took out the hairpin from the hidden pocket in his sleeve.

Eunuch Su hurried over to pick it up.

Xie Jintang took one look and recognized the origin of the hairpin because it had always been a thorn in the heart of the original owner.

Then he said: "If I remember well, this hairpin was given to Concubine Shu by Your Majesty."

Probably not long after the two of them entered the palace, Zhou Chengjing favored Concubine Shu for several nights in a row, and rewards were given every day, but this Concubine Shu is a person who likes to show off, and always likes to show off in front of the original owner, no, but Do not remember deeply.

But Concubine Shu is willing to give this hairpin to Xia Yan, so it seems that Zhou Chengjing doesn't have much weight in her heart.

This was embarrassing, Zhou Chengjing didn't know the so-called hairpin at all, after all, Li Chu arranged for the rewards, they were just vulgar things anyway.

And right now Li Chu is not here, so he can't prove whether he gave it by himself.

He glanced at the hairpin and asked, "Really?"

Xie Jintang noticed his strangeness, so he joked with a sarcasm: "Your Majesty doesn't recognize what I gave you."

He did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Is this related to the case?"

Then, he ordered the people next to him: "Grandpa Su, go and bring Concubine Shu."

After receiving the order, Eunuch Su went to Shuluan Palace immediately.

In fact, Xie Jintang was quite worried that he would favor Concubine Shu.

Moreover, the Fu family is more or less important in the court. Although it is not as important as the Xie family, it is not light. If Zhou Chengjing really punishes him cruelly, I am afraid that tomorrow the Fu family will make things difficult for him in the court. .

The Fu family is different from their Xie family. It is a real family. It can be traced back to the previous dynasty and the previous dynasty. It has been passed down for more than [-] years, so the power is almost all over the place. If the Fu family is the most prosperous time is about In the Eastern Xia Kingdom hundreds of years ago, after the Eastern Xia Dynasty destroyed the country and the Xuan Dynasty was established, it began to decline and almost wiped out the clan. It was only slightly better until the Xuan Dynasty was destroyed and the Southern Chu was established, but it was still the same as the previous Fu family. It is not comparable.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even so, the power is still rooted everywhere.

And now Zhou Chengjing has only just ascended the throne for four years, and his strength may not be enough to fight against these aristocratic families.

This situation is different from her previous entry into the cold palace, because the Xie family is a poor family, even though it is a high-ranking official, it is still thriving, and the Fu family is an aristocratic family, if Concubine Shu has something to do, I am afraid that they will unite with other aristocratic families to put pressure on Zhou Chengjing.
