Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 114 Interrogation
Concubine Wei stared at Wu Rou's expression for a moment. After a while, her cold eyebrows showed a little disappointment, and she said slowly:

"Xia Baolin said that you asked Xia Baolin to buy aphrodisiac incense from outside the palace to seduce the prince. What do you say?"

Wu Rou suddenly raised her eyes and asked doubtfully:
"Aphrodisiac? What is it?"

Didn't I say that the name of the fragrant tablet is "Matchmaker"?

At this time, if Wu Rou saw how to write the word "aphrodisiac", she would probably understand it instantly.

But just listening to it, she really didn't associate the two things together.

It was precisely because of her naturally confused reaction that Concubine Wei's disappointed look suddenly diminished.

Concubine Wei glanced sideways at Xia Baolin next to her.

Xia Baolin was frightened and cried quickly:

"Your Majesty...she is pretending to be stupid. It was really she who asked me to buy it. She said that she and the prince were in love, but all they needed was a layer of window paper. The prince was timid and would definitely not dare, so she asked me to buy the incense for him. She, that aphrodisiac has a mixed name, called 'Matchmaker', she knows it!"

Wu Rouxin said, Oh, so I’m still talking about this.

She rolled her eyes, and in her mind, she quickly made a choice between the two versions of Xia Baolin obeying the Crown Princess's wishes and framing her, and Xia Baolin's intention to get rid of the Crown Prince and using her.

In the first case, she can completely pick herself off, but the disadvantage is that the Crown Princess is the mastermind and Xia Baolin cannot die.

Second, Xia Baolin used incense tablets to harm His Majesty's body, which was a definite matter, but she couldn't explain why she didn't expose it immediately, but kept the incense tablets until now...

When the time comes, the yellow mud will really fall down on the crotch, it is either shit or shit.

With such a restless reputation, even if Xia Baolin is convicted in the future, it will not be her turn to raise her children.

Hey, who is so arrogant and leaked this matter so quickly?
"Mother, A'rou doesn't know why Xia Baolin framed me like this, but I definitely never said anything like that." Wu Rou said.

Concubine Wei retracted her glance at Xia Yu, lowered her eyes, and said softly and slowly:
"Just now, Xia Baolin admitted that she was the one who sent the letter to the Crown Princess's people, saying that you wanted to use aphrodisiac incense to seduce the Crown Prince. I called her over for questioning and asked her what evidence she had?

She said that she has given the things to you, and if you search for them, you will definitely find them.Is there such a thing? "

Wu Rou couldn't help but look at Xia Baolin and sneered in her heart.

This Xia Baolin's temper is too restless. If you want to use me to catch Prince Li Shan, you have to wait until the Prince takes the bait before lifting the pole, right?
The good guy leaked the news to the Crown Princess as soon as he came up, hoping that the Crown Princess would find out about it, and nothing would happen to you while you were there.

Who would have thought that the Crown Princess would not appreciate it at all and would just turn around and sell her out?

What's the situation now? If we can't fish together, we should pour all the dirty water on her head and only trick her, right?
Wu Rou withdrew her gaze, pretending to just remember it, and suddenly said:
"Have the things been given to me?...Oh, Xia Baolin did give me a sachet as a return gift. I'm wearing it with me. I'll show it to the empress."

With that said, she took out the sachet from her sleeve and bent over to offer it. The female officer next to the imperial concubine took it and held it in front of the imperial concubine to show her.

Concubine Wei glanced at the sachet with disgust and said slowly:

"Don't give it to me. Take it to the imperial doctor for a test. I'll know the results."

"Yes." The female officer turned around and arranged for the errand boy to do the work.

Here Xia Baolin heard what Wu Rou said and said delicately:
"Your Majesty, she is lying. You must make the decision for me. I am pregnant. What I framed her for is what she said herself. She is pitiful. She has no children and cannot receive His Majesty's favor.

I pity her and I had to help her... All the things I found in the house were bought for her, and the rest I have never used myself."

She held her stomach excitedly and said: "My dear, think about it, I have no grievances with her, why do I want to frame her? She really begged me. The more I think about it, the more scared I am, for fear that something bad will involve me." On top of my head, I just went to remind the Crown Princess. Wuwuwu..."

Concubine Wei looked at her indifferently and asked:
"Have I made up my mind?"

When Xia Baolin heard this, his crying voice became smaller, his eyes twinkled and he shook his head.

Concubine Wei rolled her eyes and said:
"Then why are you crying? It's your fault, and I will never forgive you. It's not your fault, and I will never wrong you. Why are you anxious? Is it because you feel guilty?"

Xia Baolin stopped talking.

Wu Rou was frightened in her heart.

Concubine Wei moved too fast. Judging from her voice, she might have already turned her residence upside down when she called Xia Baolin.

So now, has her residence been turned over?

If she was a little confused and denied it, would she have been unable to explain it clearly now?

I'm thinking wildly.Another chamberlain was brought over from outside.

The chamberlain seemed to be quite young, maybe 40 years old. He came in with a few brochures in his hand and reported:

"Your Majesty, all the information about Xia Baolin's extra-palace property transactions are here.

Ever since Xia Baolin became pregnant, as a rule, she had the right to send letters and receive gifts from relatives outside the palace once a month. In recent months, all the property that came into the palace has been registered here, and there is no record of scented tablets. "

Xia Baolin's heart skipped a beat, and he was obviously panicked.

I only heard Concubine Wei ask:
"No record? Xia Baolin said it herself. She bought it, but you said it wasn't there. Could it be that someone was coveting the benefits given by Xia Baolin and let it go privately, violating the rules of the palace?"

When the chamberlain heard this, he bent even lower and said:
"Your Majesty... I asked this when I came here. Those slaves below must have been fooled by the lard and sometimes show favoritism, but when it comes to the emperor's heir, no one dares to be careless.

What are those scented tablets?If so, it must be verified by the imperial doctor before being allowed to enter the palace for Xia Baolin's use.

Otherwise, if Xia Baolin had a miscarriage and it was found out that it was due to our negligence, she would definitely be dead.No one dares to joke with their own lives. "

Concubine Wei smiled softly. She did not distinguish between happiness and anger, and did not comment. She turned to Xia Baolin who was standing aside and said:
"Xia Baolin, tell me what's going on? Who is the palace official who allowed you to bring in the aphrodisiac incense? Name him and call him to confront him."

Xia Baolin lowered his head, clutched his stomach, and sat there, hesitating and unable to speak.

There was silence in the hall.

Wu Rou didn't even dare to breathe.

Concubine Wei waited for her calmly for a while, then gently placed the tea bowl in her hand on the square table next to her, making a soft "click" sound.

Xia Baolin was so frightened that she shivered again and sweat broke out on her head. She turned her eyes and began to hold her stomach and cry out in pain.

Concubine Wei didn't even raise her eyes and said softly:

"Has the doctor in charge of Xia Baolin's pregnancy come? Let him come in and give her a look. If she needs any medicine, use it right here."

The female officer turned around and called.
