Chapter 272
Eunuch Kui turned pale with shock: "Your Majesty is the honor of the Empress, and it is inappropriate to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation, isn't it, isn't it?"

Even if the third princess of Great Qin really poisoned the emperor, if the emperor didn't abolish her successor, she would still be the queen.

Historically, no matter the empress or concubine committed a crime in the harem, it was mostly resolved in the harem. How could they be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment?

Where is the Ministry of Punishment, and who are the people in the prison?

How could the Empress be imprisoned in that eerie place where fish and dragons mingled?

The queen mother said lightly: "I don't like the harem being tortured and bloodied, so I will hand it over to the Ministry of punishment for interrogation."

Eunuch Kui was completely dumbfounded, and all the maids and eunuchs in Qiushui Palace were also terrified.

Although there are many means of punishment in the harem, they are nothing compared to the edict of the Ministry of Punishment.

If you enter the imperial prison, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die.

No one can survive the torture there. They are all methods of killing without blood, which can make people unable to survive or die.

Chanjuan rushed forward like crazy and knelt down, emotionally said: "Queen Dowager, the princess can't harm the emperor, someone must be trying to frame the princess in vain, please let the queen mother know!"

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Eunuch Kui: "Who is this person?"

Eunuch Kui hurriedly said: "It's a maid brought by my mother from the Great Qin Kingdom."

The queen mother snorted coldly, "Being the queen of my Mausoleum country, and being called a princess, how decent is that?"

Chanjuan was stunned, and was about to speak, but the queen mother didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said coldly: "The matter of the emperor's poisoning must not be publicized, and anyone who leaks the secret will be executed. The Department of Penalties will conduct a secret interrogation, and you must get the antidote as soon as possible!"

This was said to Eunuch Kui.

Eunuch Kui wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and bowed in answer.

Chanjuan wanted to intercede again, but Eunuch Kui shook his head lightly at her.

The emperor was poisoned in the Qiushui Palace, the matter is of great importance, and it is not something that a maid like her can do with just a few words.

When Qin Luoyu was brought into the execution room of the Ministry of Criminal Justice's prison, he had already calmed down.

What happened today, it was clear that someone wanted to harm Ling Junxing, but they planted the poisoning incident on her, killing two birds with one stone.

Qin Luoyu thought, after all, he was too kind, thinking that if I don't offend others in this harem, they won't offend me.

But she forgot the rules here, which are completely different from the education she has received since she was a child.

Although you have no criminals, and you may not even offend others, but they don't like you, or they just think you are suitable to be a pawn, and if they say get rid of you, they get rid of you.

In addition, I will give you a hat to replace the dead ghost, thinking about it on the road to Huangquan makes me feel tight.

Qin Luoyu stood quietly in the torture room, with a faint smell of blood lingering from his nose.

There are many instruments of torture of unknown purpose hanging on the wall, which is so dark that it makes people feel frightened when they look at it.

She looked up at the presiding officer behind the desk opposite, who was looking at her sharply and coldly.

The presiding officer is Zhu Junyan, the new Minister of Criminal Affairs. He was originally Pei Song's deputy. After Pei Song was imprisoned, he took over the position of Minister.

Originally, with his position, he would not interrogate prisoners easily.

It's just that the matter of the emperor's poisoning was too important, so Zhu Junyan rushed here overnight without daring to delay for a moment. As soon as Qin Luoyu mentioned it, he took him directly to the torture room for interrogation.

"Your Majesty. You also know where this place is. What should be said should be said as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass the embarrassment and save the empress from suffering."

Zhu Junyan's tone was not very harsh, but it was full of threats, giving people the illusion that if Qin Luoyu dared not confess, he would immediately torture her to make her feel better.

Qin Luoyu said calmly, "What do you want me to say?"

Zhu Junyan stared at her and said, "Why did you poison the emperor? Who ordered it? Where is the antidote? Your empress only needs to explain these three questions clearly, and I will send you back to prison right away."

"I also want to make it clear."

Qin Luoyu sighed, "But I really don't know what to confess. I didn't inflict the poison."

Zhu Junyan looked her up and down with sharp eyes, and after a long while, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you know what is hanging on the wall? No one can survive a day in this torture room. Jiaogui, how can she endure these punishments? Let's just be honest, this punishment, the empress can't stand it."

Qin Luoyu was silent for a moment: "Why did you insist that I was the one who poisoned the emperor?"

"The emperor fell into a coma after being poisoned in the Qiushui Palace. The servant girls in the Qiushui Palace have already explained that the soup the emperor drank was specially made by the dining room under the orders of the empress."

Zhu Junyan said unhurriedly, "There are many eunuchs in charge of the dining room, so they can't do anything. But when the soup arrives at Qiushui Palace, it's not necessarily the case. I heard that the soup was taken by the maid of the empress. , and later delivered to the emperor by the empress herself, isn't it?"

Qin Luoyu said, "Yes."

Zhu Junyan said: "Since that's the case, besides the empress, she is the maid of the empress, who else could be the poisoner?"

Qin Luoyu said calmly: "What if someone deliberately framed me? The eunuch in charge of the dining room is always negligent."

Zhu Junyan seemed to have heard a big joke, and showed a surprised and sympathetic expression: "Madam, do you know how many eunuchs are in charge in the imperial dining room of the palace, and every dish is delivered, and it has to go through How many drug testing procedures?"

He said coldly: "From the collection of raw materials to the making and serving of the soup that day, a total of 38 people took turns to inspect the soup, 12 people watched intently, and three people tasted the poison in advance-maybe you think that these procedures are all the same. child's play?"

Qin Luoyu said lightly: "If you want to poison, you can always find an opportunity. Since someone else wants to frame me, they won't do it rashly without careful arrangements."

Zhu Junyan sneered, obviously getting a little impatient: "My lady, let me ask you one last time, should my lady recruit or not?"

Qin Luoyu was silent for a while, and repeated what he said before: "I have nothing to recruit."

Zhu Junyan stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand, and a subordinate next to him immediately took down a torture tool from the wall.

"Your Majesty should know what this is, right? It doesn't matter if you don't, I will introduce you to your Majesty."

Zhu Junyan touched the beard under his chin, his eyes flickered: "This is a row of scorpions, put it into your fingers, just tighten it a little, and the torturer will feel unbearable pain. Compared with other instruments of torture, this is still The lightest one—the lady still has nothing to say?"

Qin Luoyu closed his eyes, and unconsciously curled up his hand hanging by his side.

She slowly opened her eyes, her pupils were clear, but she smiled at Zhu Junyan: "Zhu Shangshu. He always said that the emperor was bewitched by my beauty and showed great favor to me. If the emperor wakes up , Knowing that you have tortured me like this, tell me, what will he do to you."

Zhu Junyan's expression changed suddenly, "The emperor was knocked unconscious by you, and his life was on the verge of dying, yet you dare to threaten me with the name of the emperor!"

He flicked his sleeves fiercely, and said sharply: "Use torture!!"
