The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 699 Framed ([-])

bang——

With a speed that didn't match her figure, the little palace lady rushed towards the pillar on one side. Then, her body slowly slid down from the pillar, and a large amount of blood smeared from under her body. .

A pungent bloody smell instantly filled the hall.

Xiao Nan's heart skipped a beat, his mouth felt a little dry, and he watched in a daze that the life that was still alive just now lost his breath in an instant.

Even Ping An, who had a resentful face just now, could not help turning his face away when seeing such a bloody side, not daring to look directly at the pool of blood.

Concubine Wei Shu looked calm and winked at the two young eunuchs.

The little eunuch understood, ran up to the court lady, bent down and stretched out his hand to test his breath, and then replied: "My lady, this lowly servant girl is dead!"

Concubine Wei Shu raised her eyebrows and waved her hand lightly.

The two young eunuchs rushed forward, one at a time, and dragged the maid's body out.

"Xiao Shi, what's the matter, you still refuse to plead guilty?"

Concubine Wei Shu touched her nose with the handkerchief, and asked softly.

Xiao Nan raised his head, his face full of doubts: "Concubine Shu, what is the crime of this concubine?"

Get a court lady who has some relationship with her to frame her, hmph, this method is too simple.

"Hmph, are you still quibbling? Didn't you see that lowly maid just now? We all heard her dying words, and you still want to deny it?"

Pingan pouted his neck, with a malicious light in his eyes, and reprimanded with a little pleasure.

"Chi~" Xiao Nan didn't hide her contempt, and snorted softly, "I said it long ago, I didn't recognize that person just now, what did she say, what does it have to do with me?"

As he spoke, Xiao Nan straightened his waist, looked directly at Mrs. Sun Tai's indifferent eyes, and said with grievances: "Mrs. Tai, I know that you are an extremely upright and strict person, and you are also the most well-behaved person. You comment, how can there be such a reason in the world? My son is not talented, but at least she is a lady of the first-rank country appointed by a sage. Now, because of a few nonsense words of a maid, it is too childish to convict her. ?”

Mrs. Tai paused for a moment while twisting the Buddha beads, then turned her head and said to Concubine Wei Shu: "Madame Qi Guo is right, Concubine Shu, just now you took the initiative to ask Ying to thoroughly investigate this matter on behalf of the lady (referring to the queen), so you should try it carefully. evidence--"

The old man pointed at the pool of blood beside the pillar with the hand holding the Buddhist beads, and slowly shook his head, "It doesn't explain anything."

So what if the palace maid has received Xiao Nan's favor?
Xiao Nan has a good reputation in Beijing, aside from others, the Ci'an Thatched Cottage has saved many people over the years, and in the eyes of those people, Xiao Nan is their benefactor.But this does not mean that Xiao Nan is responsible for the actions of these people.

This cannot be regarded as evidence at all. Of course, if it is a false accusation, it is a barely usable excuse.

Mrs. Tai is of Jiang Gui's nature, old Ermi spicy, she only listened here for a quarter of an hour, and vaguely guessed Wei Shufei's mother and daughter's thoughts.

It's nothing more than trying to wipe out some enemies by taking advantage of the poisoning of the saint.

Framed Xiao Nan is their first step, if they can really kill Xiao Nan's charges, then they will take advantage of the opportunity to lead this line to the queen.

After all, killing people requires motivation, and no one is a fool. If there is no benefit, why would Xiao Nan risk the risk of ransacking his family to poison the emperor?

But the queen is different. She has a son and is not very close to the emperor.

These days, it is definitely two different things for a husband to be an emperor and a son to be an emperor.

There have been deposed queens in history, but there has never been a deposed empress dowager.Therefore, the empress had the motive to poison the emperor.

But in the capital, everyone knew that the empress was quite close to Xiao Nan, if it was said that Xiao Nan acted in order to seek refuge with the empress, it would still be justified.

However, Xiao Nan is not an ordinary official, her mother is the eldest princess, and there are two families of Xiao and Cui standing behind her. It is not so easy for Concubine Wei Shu to frame her.

Moreover, Madam Changsun had a good impression of Xiao Nan, this child is very good at being a man, he is sincere and sincere to his relatives and friends, even if it is a handful of vegetables, he can think of sending them.Opening an academy didn't leave behind "our own people".

Over the years, although Xiao Nan has not had a close relationship with the Changsun family, the two families get along very well. At least in the eyes of the Changsun family, the Cui family is far more worthy of friendship than the Wei family.

This is also the main reason why Mrs. Eldest Sun easily agreed to the Eldest Princess to interrogate Xiao Nan together with Webster.

Her old man might not openly speak up for Xiao Nan, but Webster would not be able to easily frame Xiao Nan.

Concubine Wei Shu also knew that Mrs. Tai would not be on her side, but she was not worried because she still had the trump card in her hand.

"What Mrs. Tai said is that the concubine knows that this matter is of great importance, so she will never wrong Mrs. Qi."

When Concubine Wei Shu was speaking, she bowed slightly to Mrs. Tai, then turned her gaze to Xiao Nan, and said indifferently: "Madam Qi, don't be wronged. If there is no conclusive evidence, the lady will not declare you to be held accountable." .”

With that said, Concubine Wei Shu raised her right hand, "Bring the person and the account book here!"

As soon as the voice fell, a maid came up with a tray, and behind her was a trembling old man.

"Little, little old man Fang Liu has seen the lady and all the nobles."

The old man didn't dare to look up at all, and knelt down to salute as soon as he entered the door.

"Treasurer Fang is free."

Concubine Wei Shu's tone was soft, she pointed at Xiao Nan with her plain hand, and asked, "Treasurer Fang, take a look, do you recognize this madam?"

Shopkeeper Fang's kneeling figure trembled slightly. Hearing Concubine Wei Shu's words, he hurriedly raised his head and followed her fingers to look over. After seeing Xiao Nan's face clearly, he hurriedly lowered his head again, and muttered: "Young lady, I recognize you." , This, this is Mrs. Qi Guo from Chongrenfang."

"Oh? So, have you met Mrs. Qi?"

Concubine Wei Shu's tone rose slightly, apparently she was asking, but her words carried hints.

Shopkeeper Fang's head was covered with beads of sweat, and he shook his head vigorously: "Mrs. Qi Guo is a noble person, and the little old man is just an old man in the market. How can he have the right to see his wife in person? However, although the little old man has no chance to see his wife, but I have seen Madam's capable maidservant, Miss Yulian!"

Yulian?

Xiao Nan's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes slid slowly across the shopkeeper Fang and the account book, and he probably guessed something in his heart.

No, they were trying to take advantage of the fact that she had ordered someone to buy poison at the pharmacy.

Realizing this, Xiao Nan couldn't help but feel a little bit bitter, Cui Youbo reminded her to deal with this matter cleanly, at that time she still felt that Cui Youbo looked down on others.

Looking at it now, it wasn't Cui Youbo's wordiness, but her lack of thoughtfulness. No, wouldn't people use this incident as evidence to frame her? !
Xiao Nan was secretly anxious, she understood that if this matter was not explained well, the crime of regicide might really fall on her head.

Concubine Wei Shu has been paying attention to Xiao Nan's expression all the time, seeing that she finally showed anxiety, she couldn't help showing a smug smile.

Hmph, now I know I'm afraid, it's too late!

This is just the beginning, and there will be more exciting things to come.

Resisting the secret joy in her heart, Concubine Wei Shu pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh? And this thing? That, uh, what jade lotus, where have you seen it?"

As she was talking, she tried her best to think back: "By the way, I heard from the people below that shopkeeper Fang opened a pharmacy in Xishi. Could it be that you saw Mrs. Qi's capable maidservant in the pharmacy?" ?”

Pretend, you go on pretending for me!
After a brief period of panic, Xiao Nan had gradually stabilized, and she coldly watched Concubine Wei Shu acting there.

Hmph, all the account books have been brought, if Concubine Wei Shu doesn't know what Shopkeeper Fang does, no one will believe it.

She wants to see how Concubine Wei Shu will act in the next play.

Shopkeeper Fang nodded again and again, "The little old man did open a medicine store in his home, as my wife expected, and the little old man did see Yulian in his own medicine store. She, she came to buy medicine!"

Shopkeeper Fang peeked at Xiao Nan, seeing that her face was sinking like water, her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and she hurriedly lowered her head again.

"That's impossible. Mrs. Qi Guo owns the Ci'an Thatched Cottage. There is no shortage of medicinal materials. How could she send someone to buy medicine?"

Concubine Wei Shu seemed to be addicted to acting, and continued to say, "Could it be that she bought some precious and scarce medicinal materials?"

Shopkeeper Fang nodded, shook his head violently, swallowed hard, and stammered, "Yeah, it's not some rare medicinal material, but, it's arsenic, crane crest red, and, there's also thousands of herbs." machine."

"What? You mean Mrs. Qi ordered people to buy a lot of poisonous medicine?"

Concubine Wei Shu slapped her hand suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "Master Fang, you can't talk nonsense. Mrs. Qi is a dignified lady of the first rank country. She has a noble status, acts openly and aboveboard, and does good deeds. How can she buy such a harmful thing?" thing?"

Shopkeeper Fang trembled in fright, and then explained in a trembling voice: "Young lady, I have learned from you, the little old man is absolutely not lying. Well, what, because Yulian bought all the domineering poisons. Once registered in the register. Who, when and what kind of poison was purchased, and how much, the little old man personally recorded it all."

As he spoke, he raised his head abruptly, and pointed at the account books on the tray with trembling fingers, "The account books are all here. If you don't believe me, lady, you can check it yourself."

"Of course I will implement it myself!"

Concubine Wei Shu raised her chin, the maid understood, and brought the tray to her with both hands.

Concubine Wei Shu stretched out her hand to pick up the account book, flipping through it.

It didn't take long, she let out a 'huh', and then handed the account book to Mrs. Changsun, "Mrs. Tai, take a look."

Mrs. Tai put the rosary on her wrist, took the open account book, and looked directly at the page Wei Shufei showed her.

After a while, she raised her head and looked directly at Xiao Nan: "Half a month ago, you ordered someone to go to the pharmacy to buy arsenic, Hedinghong, Qianji and other medicines? One or two of each?"

Shopkeeper Fang seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly interrupted to add: "The little old man also heard that Yulian not only went to our pharmacy, but also went to several big pharmacies in Dongshi and Xinshi. By the way, she seems to have Went to the spice shop run by Hu Shang..."

"Okay, Mrs. Xiao, if you have no malicious intentions, why did you buy so much poison?"

Ping An finally grasped Xiao Nan's handle, and proudly raised his head.

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, and fixedly looked back at Mrs. Tai, "That's right, I did order someone to buy some poison..."
