Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 565: Cannot convict hastily
The Queen Mother asked someone to bring a piece of silver, and she sat on a chair to interrogate Leng Luoyue.

"The emperor was poisoned when he came out of Lengxiang Palace. It was obviously also poisoned in your Lengxiang Palace. Leng Luoyue, what else do you have to argue with? If you plead guilty earlier, you will suffer less." The Queen Mother rubbed her hand. The blood ruby ​​on her fingertips was Ye'er's birthday gift to her.

Leng Luoyue straightened her back, "The emperor was poisoned in Lengxiang Palace, but the poison was not from my concubine."

Caiwei knelt and crawled forward two steps, and said firmly: "Yes, it was the slave who poisoned the emperor and it has nothing to do with Concubine Leng."

Leng Luoyue didn't look at Caiwei, and looked straight ahead with an expressionless face.

The Queen Mother and others were all startled. They did not expect that the maid brought into the palace by Concubine Leng would crawl out and confess her guilt. She was Concubine Leng's person. She poisoned the emperor. Is there any difference between Concubine Leng and Concubine Leng poisoning the emperor?

There is no difference at all, and it makes people think that she is here to take the blame for Concubine Leng.

Chengsheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The matter of Caiwei poisoning the emperor has nothing to do with Concubine Leng. When the empress knew that the emperor was poisoned, she was also very shocked. Only when she saw Caiwei lying limp on the ground did she know who had poisoned the emperor. It's Caiwei.

"Slave, I dare to guarantee with my life that Concubine Leng will never harm the emperor." Chengsheng said loudly through gritted teeth.

"Slave, I dare to guarantee it with my life." Qiu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor and Concubine Leng are very affectionate. The little prince has become the prince again. How can the concubine let go of her good life? In Lengxiang Palace Poisoning the Emperor."

Xia Chan also followed up and said: "Your Majesty once saved the Emperor. If Concubine Leng had the intention to murder the Emperor, it would have been a disaster if she had not saved the Emperor. Why wait until now to leave such a big suspicion on herself? "

"Yes, please give the Empress Dowager and all your lords a clear warning." Chengfan and others also said in unison.

Leng Luoyue closed her eyes and exhaled a breath, telling them not to speak for her. Why were they so disobedient?

Everyone else was very surprised. In the past, if something happened to the master, many palace maids and eunuchs would hide as far away as possible in order not to be implicated. But they would not speak to the master so unitedly and even risk their lives.

Taifu Yun said: "She saved the emperor because the young prince was not the prince yet..."

Yu Wei interrupted him, "Even if the young prince was not the prince at that time, he was still the emperor's only prince. If something happens to the emperor, the young prince would inherit the throne."

Therefore, it is untenable to say that Concubine Leng was waiting for the young prince to become the prince before taking action.

The Minister of Hubu nodded and said, "What Prime Minister Zuo said makes sense."

Caiwei added: "This matter indeed has nothing to do with Concubine Leng. Concubine Leng has no knowledge of the slave's plan to poison the emperor."

"My father, mother, younger brothers and sisters are all slaves of the Leng Mansion. Because the Leng family was confiscated, all my family members were exiled. After I left Lengxiang Palace, I heard that my father, mother, younger brothers and sisters were all on the way to exile, so I said The emperor holds a grudge and wants to kill the emperor to avenge his family.”

Her family members were all alive and well. She said this to let people know her motive for poisoning the emperor. She believed that this matter was indeed hers alone and had nothing to do with Concubine Leng.

"My servant brought poison from outside the palace and hid it on her body for many days. Today she smeared it on the emperor's porridge bowl. The bowl for dinner this morning has not been washed yet. The queen mother can have the porridge bowl brought over and pass it on. The imperial doctor came to check. The poison slave was hidden under the mattress in the room where the slave lived. Someone can be sent to search." She left those bowls on purpose. She was using all the methods she could think of to treat people. It proves that the poisoning of the emperor has nothing to do with the empress.

There was an imperial doctor following the Queen Mother, and the guards went to the kitchen and brought three porridge bowls, and ordered people to search the entire Lengxiang Palace.

The doctor couldn't detect this colorless and odorless poison, so his eyes fell on the little white cat in the kitten's arms.

Leng Luoyue noticed the imperial doctor's intention and said directly: "This little white cat is a gift from the emperor, so don't have any ideas about it."

It was a gift from the emperor, so it really shouldn't be a decision.

The imperial doctor sent someone to get a white mouse. The white mouse licked three bowls one by one, and when it licked the last one, it twitched and walked away.The guards rummaged through Lengxiang Palace and found a suspicious small porcelain bottle under the quilt in Caiwei's room.

After examination by the imperial physician and testing on mice, it was indeed a highly toxic poison that could kill people.

Leng Luoyue refused to plead guilty, while Caiwei refused to change her story, insisting that she had done this alone and had nothing to do with Concubine Leng. Everyone in Lengxiang Palace testified that Concubine Leng had no knowledge of it until she learned that the emperor was poisoned.

The Queen Mother glanced at the group of stubborn people in front of her, looked at Leng Luoyue and sneered: "Leng Luoyue, you brought this maid into the palace. She has been with you since entering the palace. She poisoned the emperor, and you poisoned the emperor. What’s the difference? Don’t think that just by pushing her out to take the blame, you can be safe.”

"Here comes someone." The Queen Mother said sternly, "Leng Luoyue, the treacherous and sycophantic daughter, has evil intentions, harbors evil intentions, and poisons the emperor. She is guilty of an unforgivable crime. In memory of her being the biological mother of the prince, I gave her the red crown of the crane and left her body intact."

"No, Queen Mother." Yu Wei took a step forward and said with cupped hands, "Concubine Leng did not plead guilty, and the poisoner also insisted that the poison was hers and had nothing to do with Concubine Leng. Since everyone in the palace testified for Concubine Leng, it cannot be confirmed. This matter was planned by Concubine Leng, let alone convicting Concubine Leng rashly and condemning Concubine Leng to death."

"Left Prime Minister..."

Taifu Yun wanted to interrupt, but Yu Wei directly interrupted him and said: "Furthermore, Concubine Leng has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and benefited all people, and is deeply loved by the people. If there is no evidence or evidence to accuse her of poisoning the emperor, Concubine Leng will be rashly convicted and executed." , if word spreads, it may be difficult to convince the people, and suspicions will arise, which will not only damage the reputation of the royal family, but also damage the reputation of the Queen Mother."

Leng Luoyue glanced at Zuo Xiang and remembered this kindness in her heart.

The right prime minister was silent for a moment, and then spoke up: "What the left prime minister said is absolutely true. Concubine Leng is the biological mother of His Highness the Crown Prince, and she is deeply loved by the people. It is indeed inappropriate to hastily convict her without evidence."

"I also thought that we should not be convicted hastily." Qin Wenkong also stood up and said.

The Minister of Hubu also stood up, "I also thought..."

The Queen Mother was fed up with Zuo Xiang and others who denied her decision, but although she was invited to take charge, she was just an empty frame now. After all, there was no one left alive in her natal family.

Therefore, she had to listen to the words of ministers like Zuo Shang.

The words of Prime Minister Zuo and others were well founded. Taifu Yun couldn't find any point to refute, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

The Queen Mother had been cooped up in Yunxiang Palace for so long, and her energy was not as good as before. She was already very tired after spending so much time concentrating on it. In addition, the Zuo Xiang and the others made her very unhappy, which made her even more tired.

She then ordered that Concubine Leng and the others be captured first and taken to the Department of Punishment before further interrogation.

Leng Luoyue did not resist and allowed the guards to lock her hands behind her back.

"Mother, mother..." Xiaomaoer immediately cried.

"If the cat doesn't cry, mother will be fine." Leng Luoyue was forced to lower her head and comfort the kitten softly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Leng Luoyue and the people from Lengxiang Palace were taken away by the guards. Mao Mao'er wanted to follow, but was stopped and hugged by Wang Xin who came over.

"Father, a cat wants a mother, a cat wants a father, woo woo woo..."

Wang Xin was so heartbroken by him crying that he wiped away tears with red eyes.
