The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 667 A Bowl of Abortion Tea (5)
Concubine Ning sighed, and said helplessly: "It's good that you're fine after eating, but when the queen asks, I have to give her a definite answer, right?"

Qingchen thought the same thing, the queen followed her to Lin Guiyi Palace in a hurry, but for a moment she was flustered and forgot the most important thing. If Concubine Ning didn't take care of the aftermath, then when the banquet was over, all the things would be removed. It will also be destroyed, and the reason for Lin Guiyi's sudden popularity can't even be found out. Maybe this is because caring makes chaos.

When Du Zhen rushed over with the little palace maid, the concubines had not yet dispersed, so it was not clear if the queen would have other orders, and Concubine Ning dared not tell them to return to the palace.

Du Zhen checked everything in the pavilion carefully, and said that there was nothing wrong with it, and then checked all the pastries and tea on the tables outside the pavilion, but found that there was someone in the cup of tea on Lin Guiyi's table. Take the abortion pill.

It is always good to find the reason. Concubine Ning thought about it, and decided that it would be more appropriate for the empress to interrogate the matter herself. Therefore, she asked people to protect the evidence and send someone to the Zhaohe Palace. If Lin Guiyi is fine, it is best to ask the empress to come back and get it. idea.

Qingchen secretly observed everyone's expressions carefully, and saw that some people were gloating, some were puzzled, and some had expressions of fear on their faces. Such a thing at the banquet would still shock the timid people to some extent.

He Shuyi pulled her aside and asked quietly: "What do you think about the abortion pill in the tea? It's really hard to guard against. I wonder if Lin Guiyi's child can be kept?"

Qingchen is most afraid of seeing blood, and he is still a little bit shocked at this moment, pressing his chest and said: "If the treatment is timely, maybe it can be saved, sister, although I know what Lin Guiyi's birth means to the queen, but I don't know. I always feel that the child is innocent, and it would be too much to use such a cruel hand. As for who put the medicine in the tea... I am afraid that everyone who is present and not present is suspected."

Ye Hanyu also frowned, thought for a long time before saying: "You are right, it is difficult to check now."

Half an hour later, a little girl from Lin Guiyi's palace came back to spread the word, saying that Lin Guiyi's fetus was saved after all, and the empress comforted her, and she was about to come back to investigate the matter.

Even if they didn't say it, many people were very disappointed when they heard the news. Even if it couldn't be expressed on their faces, their thoughts at this time were surprisingly the same. Who made her belong to the Queen's family?
After the Empress returned, Concubine Ning reported everything truthfully, and the Empress asked sharply, "Have you found out who handed over that cup of tea?"

Concubine Ning hurriedly replied: "I'm investigating, but there are so many maids and eunuchs serving the banquet in the imperial garden today, maybe I don't remember who served Lin Guiyi the tea, unless I summon Lian Qing who is beside her to ask, maybe She still remembers."

Xiao Jun immediately ordered: "Go and call Lian Qing who is beside Lin Guiyi." Then he said to Concubine Ning: "Call all the servants who are serving today, and let Lian Qing identify them one by one later."

Concubine Ning hurriedly responded, "Yes, my concubine will give orders now."

Because the queen had instructed Lin Guiyi to be careful about what she took in in advance, Lin Guiyi hadn't eaten anything but only drank the cup of tea, so Lianqing still had an impression of the little maid serving the tea.

Lian Qing came over and gave a big gift to the empress first, and heard the empress ask: "Do you still remember who served Lin Guiyi that cup of tea? Now that all the serving maids are there, can you still recognize her?"

Lian Qing thought for a while and said: "If the servant saw her face, she would be able to recognize her. The servant remembered that there was a red mole on the corner of her lips, which looked very beautiful, so the servant took a few extra glances at that time."

Xiao Jun nodded and said: "Very good, then you can go to those standing maids and find out who did such a thing that should be punished by the nine clans."

Lian Qing hurriedly kowtowed, "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

At this moment, no matter whether they were the ones who made mistakes or not, those court ladies all had more or less fear on their faces, fearing that Lianqing would accidentally admit the wrong person, and she would be implicated and lose her life.

Lian Qing searched carefully twice, but she couldn't find the person who served the tea. She was not reconciled, so she looked again carefully, but she still couldn't find it, so she came back and kowtowed: "Go back to the emperor, empress, The servant girl searched repeatedly three times just now, and among these people, there is no girl who serves tea to my little master."

The queen asked in surprise: "How could there be no one? Concubine Ning, are all the maids serving the banquet in the imperial garden really here today?"

Concubine Ning was about to speak, when she saw a little father-in-law running in a panic, poking his head outside the pavilion but he didn't dare to come up to answer, the emperor saw it and asked coldly: "Why are you so flustered?"

The little father-in-law rushed in and knelt down, swaying all over his body, and said, "My lord, my lord, a court lady was poisoned to death. When she died, she sprinkled a plate of poisoned pastries beside the lake. died of poison."

Xiao Jun closed her eyes slightly, sighed heavily, probably guessed who was dead, and ordered: "Take Lian Qing over there to identify if it's the little maid who served Lin Guiyi tea."

The queen heard what the emperor said, and she already realized that the matter was probably a murder, and there were no clues about the death of the person, so it would be difficult to find out.

The queen gritted her teeth angrily, if she found out who wanted to harm Lin Guiyi's unborn child, how could she let her go lightly?

Lianqing went with the little father-in-law for a while, and when she came back, her face turned pale, probably because the little palace maid's death was so ugly, she was terrified, she trembling her lips and said: "Your Majesty, empress empress!" , the little maid who was poisoned to death was the one who served tea to my young master, and people who knew her said her name was Chunlan."

The teacup in the emperor's hand "hula" was knocked to the ground. Although no words were spoken, everyone knew that the emperor was already angry.Xiao Jun has such a temperament, sometimes the more silent he is, the more frightening he is.

In front of the emperor, no matter how angry the empress is, she can only bear it. At this time, she saw a maid serving in the pavilion who seemed hesitant to speak, and her expression was accidentally caught by the empress' gaze. , and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

The little palace maid knelt down in a panic, as if she was trying to remember something, and finally said with some uncertainty: "Servant, servant seems to have seen Chunlan serving tea to Lin Guiyi, it's just, just..."

"Just don't say anything quickly!" The queen's tone was extremely severe, with obvious impatience.

The little maid first took a peek at the emperor's face, then glanced at Qingchen with a bit of fear, and then she made up her mind and said, "I seem to have seen that the cup of tea that Chunlan handed Lin Guiyi was tampered with." Pass."
