Chapter 418
What Yun Lanyue said made Li Zhaoyi choke speechless, as if all the words she had just prepared to quibble had turned into a bunch of nonsense, she knew that no matter what she said, it was useless.

Yun Lanyue looked at Juan Zhaoyi: "Juan Zhaoyi was frightened earlier, please don't blame Juan Zhaoyi, there is no other way for Lanyue."

Juan Zhaoyi looked embarrassed, she twitched her mouth and said: "The princess is serious. Although I was a little flustered at something I didn't do, I was still determined in my heart. I also believe that the emperor will not wrong the concubine. .” As he spoke, he looked at the emperor.

At first the emperor thought it was really Juan Zhaoyi who did it, but he was also disappointed. Now that he knew it wasn't her doing it, he naturally smiled at her: "Juan Zhaoyi's duty, I understand."

Li Zhaoyi looked at Juan Zhaoyi viciously, and just about to say something, Juan Zhaoyi leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request from my concubine, please listen to me."

The emperor frowned, understood what she wanted to say, although he didn't want to, but thinking of Juan Zhaoyi being left out in the cold these days, he felt very wronged, and it was not good to refute her face, and said in a deep voice: "Let's listen listen."

Juan Zhaoyi glanced at Li Zhaoyi: "The concubine and Li Zhaoyi are both Zhaoyi positions, and they have a lot of negotiations on weekdays. Seeing that Li Zhaoyi is in a bad mood recently, the concubine took the initiative to chat with her about the emperor, and told her about the emperor's treatment of the concubine in the past. Being good with Li Zhaoyi, comforting her, the emperor will definitely not forget the two concubines, the concubine thought, maybe it was because the concubine's words did not have the effect of comforting, but made sister Li Zhaoyi even more unhappy, so This is the only way to do such a thing, if you say this, the concubine is also guilty, and the concubine is bold, please forgive Li Zhaoyi for the sake of the old love."

Juan Zhaoyi took the initiative to admit that Li Zhaoyi was provoked by her, but what she said was really beautiful. Not only did the emperor not think there was any problem with it, but he also felt that Juan Zhaoyi was sensible and well-behaved, and shared his worries. As for Li Zhaoyi, it was she who misunderstood Juan Zhaoyi. Zhaoyi's intention is to do this kind of thing. To put it bluntly, it's because of her nature!
"emperor?"

"Aifei, you don't have to plead for her, I understand what you mean, but..."

"Your majesty, you must not believe this bitch. It is her. She deliberately sows dissension in front of her concubine. Every word and every word implies that Xu Zhaoyi has robbed the emperor's favor. After hearing those words, my concubine only feels angry. Burn it, and then do the poisoning thing."

Juan Zhaoyi was disappointed and surprised at the same time, and finally lowered her head silently, without saying a word.

The emperor shouted angrily: "A poisonous woman is a poisonous woman. Juan Zhaoyi kindly begged for you, but you actually bite back. Do you think I will believe you? Ah!"

The emperor was furious, but the queen looked at Juan Zhaoyi intentionally or unintentionally, knowing it in her heart.

Just when they were all thinking about this matter, Eunuch De came in with a maid, who knelt down on the ground as soon as she came in, trembling and choking and crying.

Eunuch De bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave has been guarding in that room according to the order of the Crown Princess, and later found that the other maids and servants have recovered from the fright at the beginning, but she is the only one who has been afraid. Trembling all over, the old slave became suspicious, and under questioning, she admitted that she was the poison."

The emperor nodded, waved his hand to signal De'an to step aside, and asked coldly: "I want you to tell me the exact cause and effect of the matter!"

How could the palace maid dare to hide anything, she told everything all at once.

She is the person who is responsible for preparing the flower petals for Xu Zhaoyi's bath. The palace is heavily guarded, no one else can go out at will, only she can go out to pick flowers in the garden every day, and she can go to Xu Zhaoyi's bedroom to serve her every day.

Just two days ago, Li Zhaoyi's people came to her, gave her gold, silver and jewels, and asked her to poison her, and explained that it would not kill anyone, and no one would notice. She took things, so naturally she had to do things for Li Zhaoyi , in order to be sure, the poison was directly mixed in the petals.

Although this kind of poison is not fatal, if you smell it a little bit, you will be hit. What's more, Xu Zhaoyi takes a bath mixed with the poison, and she is not in good health, so it's no wonder that the reaction is much stronger than ordinary people.

The emperor shook his head, and asked in a deep voice, "Li Zhaoyi, what else do you want to say?"

Li Zhaoyi cried and twitched all over: "Your Majesty, my concubine pleaded guilty, and please forgive me!" Then, Li Zhaoyi suddenly remembered that the emperor had said that he would divide the body by five horses, and cried even more miserably: "Even if the emperor can't forgive the concubine, please let the emperor forgive me!" For the sake of the concubine serving you for many years, give the concubine a good time."

Li Zhaoyi pleaded guilty, but when the time came for the verdict, the emperor seemed a little reluctant. After all, he had served him for many years, so how could he be so cruel, but he had already said something that would never be forgiven lightly, if it was like this If you let it go casually, wouldn't it be a joke even if Jun Wu joked?
The emperor was in a dilemma, and the empress knew him best. She took two steps forward and said softly: "Your majesty, I think that although Li Zhaoyi did something wrong, it was because she cared too much about the emperor. She didn't intend to kill Xu Zhaoyi either, it's just that the poor servant girl used the wrong method, which caused Xu Zhaoyi to inhale too much poisonous gas, so she would vomit blood, please the emperor to spare her life."

As soon as the queen opened her mouth, all the concubines in the palace joined in and begged for mercy. Even Juan Zhaoyi begged for Li Zhaoyi's mercy again.

The emperor thought about it for a while, then suddenly looked at the court lady kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Forget it, I just look at the past love, and the queen and all the concubines are begging for your mercy, so I will spare your life for the time being."

Hearing this, Li Zhaoyi wept with joy, and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me, thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"

"Huh, don't thank you too early. You can avoid death and life. You have committed a serious crime in murdering the concubine. You will be imprisoned in the cold palace from now on. Because you are still in Wucheng, you will be detained in your bedroom for the time being. Immediately execute it in the capital, Empress, I will leave this matter to you."

The queen blessed her body: "The concubine leads the order."

It was already Li Zhaoyi's luck to be able to survive, and she didn't dare to ask for more, so she kowtowed her head in gratitude and was taken away.

The emperor glanced at the maid with cold eyes, snorted and said: "This lowly maidservant has acted recklessly and intended to murder the concubine. The crime is heinous and unforgivable. Drag her down and divide her body into five horses, and execute it immediately!"

The emperor's words didn't seem to surprise the people present too much. The emperor had said long ago that the murderer would be divided into five horses. As an emperor, how could he not keep his promise? Since Li Zhaoyi was spared, someone had to go for Li Zhaoyi. Death, this maid, can only be said to be unlucky for her.

On the way back from Xu Zhaoyi's dormitory, I happened to hear the neighing of horses and the screams of the maids. The screams were very short, so short that it was shocking!
Yun Lanyue paused slightly, clenched her hands slightly, and finally continued walking without saying a word.
