Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 605 Death Penalty
Liu Yunxiang was not in a hurry, went back to the room and slept for a while, and waited for Zijin to wake her up and said that it was the queen, so she got up and went over.

The sky is about to dawn, and the morning mist shrouds the garden, which is cold and cold.

Jingshui Pavilion has been surrounded by officials from Jingzhao Mansion. The butler waited anxiously outside. When he saw her coming, he hurried forward: "Princess, the officials from Jingzhao Mansion were brought by the queen, we can't stop them."

Liu Yunxiang snorted lightly: "When there is a murder case, it is right to use the government."

The queen made up her mind and planned to send her to prison.

"His Highness is not at the house, do you want to go to the palace to find him?"

"No need."

Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief. If he was present and his performance was not in place, the empress might blame him for the blame.

After entering the courtyard, the queen stood in front of the main room door with a solemn expression. When she saw her coming in, her eyes fixed on her, becoming sharper and sharper, with a hint of complacency.

She felt that she had won the game.

Liu Yunxiang went in only to find out that the queen not only brought officials from Jingzhao Mansion, but also several wives from aristocratic families, and of course Jiang Yunying was indispensable.

Yuan Qingyue was born in one of the eight families, and the eight families have always been connected with each other. The queen brought the wives of these families here to let them make decisions for Yuan Qingyue and seek justice from her.Sure enough, as soon as she came in, these people all looked at her with hatred in their eyes.

Without breaking the rules, Liu Yunxiang nodded to them one by one, then walked up to the queen and bowed to her.

The queen snorted coldly, "The side concubine in your house was poisoned, we have come all the way, why are you here at this time?"

Liu Yunxiang yawned and said, "It's not dawn yet, I just woke up."

"This is the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. You are the Princess of Zhenbei, and you are in charge of Zhongfu. Now that such a big incident has happened in the mansion, are you still in the mood to sleep?"

"That's right, something happened in my house, I can still sleep peacefully, I don't want you to be in the mood to sleep."

"Wangfei, what are you talking about? Knowing that Qingyue has been poisoned, we aunts and aunts can't sleep. There is no one in Changbo Mansion, but we have several big families here, so we must not give Qingyue Justice!"

The person who said this was Uncle Zhongyong's wife, Mrs. Feng, she is the sister-in-law of the second wife of the Jing'an Houfu. After the second lady went crazy, this Feng Shi went to the Hou's residence and scolded her under the old lady's instigation.

After the second wife died, they Zhongyong Bofu came to the Hou's house to make trouble, and wanted to tie her up and send her to the second wife's funeral.She didn't resist, and stretched out her hand for them to tie.

"On the way, I will publicize the deeds of the second lady during her lifetime. Who will lose face when the time comes!"

In order to save the second master, the old lady and the second lady forced her to commit herself to Yan Mu, and in the end she suffered the consequences of being humiliated by beggars and her innocence, they more or less knew about it.The second wife was from Uncle Zhongyong's residence, once these scandals were publicized, their residence would be ashamed as well, so they were so embarrassing that they didn't dare to care about it.

Later, when Yan Mu found out about this, he found an excuse and called the Zhongyong uncle to Xichang, so that he could have a good time with the world.After listening to Uncle Zhongyong, he came out of the West Factory and landed on the soft ground. He was ill for half a month before he recovered.

This Feng family has a grudge against her, and at this moment, when he seized the opportunity to step on her, he was the first to come out.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and glanced at Feng's, then looked at the person behind her, there was Mrs. Zhen Guogong, who had a solemn face, making it hard to guess what she was thinking.Next to her stood Mrs. Yang Guogong. She was not in good health, and the third lady was supporting her.The third lady Cheng glanced at her, then lowered her eyes, obviously not wanting to show her head off.There are several other wives, most of whom are of the younger generation, which shows that the Eighth Family has withered and is no longer as grand as it used to be.

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Feng Shi, and sighed: "Yes, this Yuan Shi is still pregnant with a child, who is so cruel to poison her!"

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's heartbroken expression, the queen snorted coldly: "Before I sent the side concubine Yuan back to the mansion, the princess was in every possible way, but now she has no children, so I wonder if the mansion is as good as it should be?"

"Empress, I was wronged, and I'm also very sad!" Liu Yunxiang said and took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears.

Isn't it just for acting? As long as she is not disgusting, it is others who are disgusting.

Sure enough, the queen turned pale when she saw her like this.

"Princess, Concubine Yuan is pregnant with the emperor's heir, and the person who poisoned her may be jealous of Concubine Yuan, but poisoning the emperor's heir is a capital offense." Jiang Yunying looked at Liu Yunxiang, who was standing beside the queen, at the top of the steps. Looking down at Liu Yunxiang from above, he seemed to be an incomparably dignified ruler.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Murdering the emperor's heir is indeed a capital crime."

Jiang Yunying sighed for a long time, "I don't know who is so confused."

"The person who poisoned must be a member of the palace, and he must have been instructed by someone." The Feng family glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and the words were clearly referring to her.

Liu Yunxiang just pretended not to understand, "The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture has brought all the officials here, so let's check carefully."

The queen took a deep breath, and said: "This Palace has informed the Holy Majesty that the murderer must be found out and will not be tolerated."

At this moment, Li Zhong, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, came in hurriedly. Behind him were two officers escorting a short, chubby man with a panicked look on his face.

"Your Majesty, this man is the cook in the palace's kitchen. When I was interrogating him, he spoke upside down and asked carefully. In a panic, he admitted that he had poisoned the concubine Yuan's meal."

Two officials escorted the cook over and made him kneel on the ground.

The queen glanced sideways at Jiang Yunying, saw her nodding, understood, and turned to look at the cook.

"Tell me, why did you poison the side concubine Yuan!"

The cook was trembling, and he didn't look like that kind of bold person.

"Small... small obsessed with ghosts... no one ordered..."

The queen narrowed her eyes, "How long have you been in the palace?"

"I just came here the day before yesterday."

"Have you seen the concubine Yuan?"

"No, no."

"You haven't even met Concubine Yuan, let alone have any hatred. You have no reason to harm her, unless someone persecutes you or lures you, you only poisoned her."

"Small ones... the old ones and the young ones...don't dare to say!" The cook fell to the ground, and a big man burst into tears.

Several ladies nearby watched and discussed in low voices.

"It seems that someone used his family to persecute him."

"Whoever has this ability, you don't need to think about it to know who it is."

"She's really cruel."

"How about turning from a widow in the Hou's mansion into a princess."

Liu Yunxiang listened to these discussions, she didn't speak, and occasionally raised her head, and it happened that the third lady of the Duke of Yang's mansion looked at her, and there was a clear look of regret in her eyes.

She thought it was her too.

She smiled faintly and asked: "You said you poisoned the meal of Concubine Yuan, so why didn't the poison come out after she ate the dinner, but it took a full hour for the poison to come out?"
