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

Chapter 668 A Bowl of Abortion Tea (6)
Qingchen was originally like everyone else, standing quietly aside, watching how things were going, but just now, the little palace maid glanced at her secretly, but she just happened to see her, and suddenly an ominous premonition arose in her heart , seems to feel that he is about to be involved in this right and wrong again.

"Who moved it?" Xiao Jun's voice was not loud, but with the deep majesty of an emperor, it seemed that under this light tone, a volcano that was about to erupt angrily was hidden.

The little maid trembled all over, but she fell to the ground before replying, as if she was very scared, "Your Majesty, the servants saw that Chunlan was going to present the cup of tea to Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen did not." Before drinking it, she put the tea back for some reason, and then the servant saw Chunlan carrying the teacup to Lin Guiyi's table, and the servant didn't know what happened afterwards, that's all the servant saw."

A few words, or just seeing these, is enough to frame Qingchen. Now she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is pregnant again. Everyone knows that the emperor treasures her child, even if she behaves No matter how indifferent she is, who would believe her innocence?

Moreover, even if some things cannot be said on the bright side, everyone is tacitly aware that if she gives birth to a prince, the eldest prince may not be her child's strong opponent for the crown prince, but with the queen around, Lin Guiyi's child must be the crown prince Therefore, Lin Guiyi's children are the greatest threat to their mother and child. Everyone knows this, so no one is surprised that someone came out to correct Qingchen for murdering Lin Guiyi's imperial heir at this time.

Looking at the queen's expression, one could tell that she might have had this idea a long time ago, and the eyes she looked at her were also particularly sharp, "Concubine Chen, is this girl right?"

Qingchen came out, blessed Fushen slowly and said: "Empress Empress, there is indeed a little maid serving a cup of tea to my concubine today, but this concubine doesn't drink Liu'an tea, so she put it back. As for Chunlan Whether the cup of tea given to the concubine was forwarded to Lin Guiyi, the concubine does not know."

If Chunlan is allowed to correct Qingchen, disasters will inevitably be left behind. If the emperor wants to punish her, she will not be able to bear the confession, which will lead to bad things. Now that Chunlan is dead, no matter how you look at it, there is no proof. This is the safest way. As long as someone stood up and said these two words appropriately, it would be enough to lead the suspicion to Qingchen.

Xiao Jun said lightly: "A cup of tea passed through the hands of Chunlan and Concubine Chen, who knows if it passed through someone else's hands before that? Maybe Chunlan originally wanted to cause Concubine Chen to have a miscarriage, and Concubine Chen didn't drink this cup of tea , she passed the tea to Lin Guiyi again, which resulted in Lin Guiyi almost having a miscarriage."

Yes, for example, in the eyes of Concubine Li and Xiao Jieyu, the empress is powerful, Qingchen is favored by the emperor, and the future prince must be the child of one of the two, so if one can be eradicated now, it doesn't matter who it is ?
The emperor's meaning is very clear, this incident may not be done by Concubine Chen, maybe she is also the victim, but she was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe.As for whether Chunlan was used by someone or directly involved in this matter, it remains to be ascertained.

It had nothing to do with protection, it was just a fact, but in the eyes of the queen, the emperor had a heart of protection for such words.

Qingchen ignored the Queen's expression, and said before the Queen could speak: "The Emperor's words are very reasonable. There are many people in the imperial garden today, so there is no guarantee that the abortion medicine in the tea is not from Chunlan, but from ulterior motives." People deliberately want to create such a murderous incident to frame the concubine. The concubine asks the emperor and the empress to think about Chunlan's death. Chunlan was poisoned to death after eating cakes given by others. If she did it , then she will definitely be guilty of fear that others will use the same method to silence her mouth, and she will never accept food from others at will, but she ate it without warning, and was easily poisoned to death. What does this mean? Maybe It just shows that Chunlan didn't know if there was something wrong with that cup of tea, she was just being used by others."

Chunlan's death alarmed the empress, and it was inevitable that the officers of the Punishment Division would come to check the autopsy. They had been notified as early as when Lianqing went to recognize the person, and the people who were talking back and forth at this moment were waiting by the side, waiting At the emperor's call.

Xiao Jun nodded slightly, hearing what Qing Chen meant, she seemed to be more inclined to his first statement.

The emperor signaled to summon the clerk of the Punishment Department, saw the man came in and made a big salute, and replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Empress, Chunlan died of the highly poisonous He Ding Hong, and it is true that she ate the poisonous pastry in her hand." poisoned."

Xiao Jun's eyes widened, and she asked again, "How did Chunlan look when she died?"

The man replied: "The expression is not painful, he died suddenly from poison."

Hearing his question, Qingchen only thought for a while, and immediately understood his intention, but didn't speak, just waiting for the emperor to continue.

Sure enough, Xiao Jun sneered and said: "It seems that my guess is correct, Chunlan is probably taken advantage of by others, if she did something wrong, at the moment before she died, she would know why she was poisoned, she would definitely be satisfied." The panic on her face and the sadness in her heart will definitely show on her face before she dies, but her peaceful death proves that she has no ghosts in her heart, and she doesn't know what's going on when she suddenly gets poisoned."

Qingchen was full of admiration in his heart, he had never seen Chunlan die, but he thought of human nature, this is the ability to understand people's hearts, even though she understood it, she couldn't learn it for a while.Your Majesty, how deep is his mind!

With such a mood, Qingchen sincerely rejoiced and said: "The emperor is wise, and my concubines are very grateful."

The assistant seemed to be a little surprised and raised his head and said: "The emperor is really good at predicting things. According to the slave's many years of autopsy experience, Shicai also thought so in his heart. I didn't expect the emperor to think of this even without seeing anyone. Really. His wisdom is extraordinary, and the servants admire him."

Xiao Jun asked Du Chen again at this time: "Since you tested that cup of tea, what is the dosage?"

Du Zhen hurriedly replied: "At least half a tablespoon of medicine."

Xiao Jun then turned to look at the empress with complicated expression, and said calmly: "Empress, have you heard, this dose of medicine is not small, if you want to add so much medicine to tea without being noticed by everyone, then It is not easy to do, and if Chunlan knows that there is something wrong with the tea, she will never dare to present it to Lin Guiyi again. The waiter was tampered with, or tampered with on the road, and now I think about it, there are only two possibilities."

The queen was hesitant, without sufficient evidence, she didn't dare to hold on to Qingchen, so she could only say with a displeased expression: "The concubine is not suspicious of Concubine Chen, but Chunlan is dead, and someone saw Concubine Chen moving Since the cup of tea has passed through her hands, the concubine should ask about it."
