Chapter 187 Who is plotting against whom ([-])
The imperial concubine said: "Emperor, the empress is a model of motherhood in the middle palace, she will definitely not talk nonsense, why don't you let her make it clear."

The emperor's face was uncertain: "Empress, catch the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the adulterer and catch the double, you said that the noble concubine Li murdered, do you have evidence?"

All eyes were on the Queen.

The queen looked confident, and said sonorously: "Of course the concubine has evidence, and there is more than one evidence."

Linglong's voice was unusually calm, but cold: "Really?"

However, such calmness did not dispel the suspicion of her from everyone present.

The queen said: "First of all, Mrs. Yigui's birth happened in Chengqian Palace. As the main empress, she has the best chance to do something wrong."

Mrs. Jia pointedly said: "That's right, Mrs. Yigui's birth is precious, the emperor was afraid of accidents, so he specially called the cook and asked the imperial dining room to send fresh ingredients to Chengqian Palace. May I ask, apart from the eminent concubine Li, Who else can tamper with diet?"

Ting Lan retorted: "As I said just now, orpiment is mixed with fish food and enters the fish and shrimp, and those fish and shrimp are raised in the imperial dining room, and then sent to Chengqian Palace for cooking. If there is a problem, why did it become Li Guifei's hands and feet?"

Concubine Chun said: "That's right, fish and shrimp are poisonous in themselves, which caused Yigui's unborn child to die. What's the matter with Concubine Li?"

The queen smiled and said, "It's related, the relationship is getting bigger, Hua Sui, go and bring people in."

Huasui followed suit and brought two young eunuchs over after a while.

These two young eunuchs had pale faces, their clothes were torn and had whip marks, they were obviously tortured from the Punishment Department.

The queen pointed at the two of them and asked, "Concubine Li, have you ever known these two people?"

Linglong shook her head and said, "I don't know."

The queen sneered and said: "You don't know them, but they all know you, so let me introduce you. This is Xiaomi, who is in charge of feeding fish and shrimp in the imperial dining room. He is a fellow of the eunuchs in your palace." .”

The small face is that Linglong entered Chengqian Palace, a young eunuch assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Linglong knew that he would be one of the witnesses who framed her for murder in the future, so she didn't use him highly, and only arranged for him to do rough cleaning. The person she trusts is Xiao Fuzi.

Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi next to Ting Lan are a pair of brothers, and they are the medium through which the two sisters transmit messages.

Linglong said calmly: "There is a little face in the concubine's palace, but the concubine dislikes him for his vulgar appearance and his wicked looks, and only asks him to do some rough work, and he doesn't know anything about his origin. There is another fellow."

The queen sternly asked, "Xiaomi, I come to ask you, who ordered you to feed the orpiment in the fish and shrimp?"

Xiaomizi glanced at Linglong, pretending to be too scared to speak.

The queen said angrily: "Your Majesty, how dare you not say it. I see that you will not cry when you see the coffin. Come and pull him down. First, pinch off two fingers before talking."

When Xiao Mizi heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The empress, please forgive me. The servant said, the servant said that's all. It was the concubine Li who ordered the slave to do this. The slave and the concubine Li's small face in the palace is not only A fellow townsman, and a good friend who grew up together, with a deep relationship, as close as a brother, Concubine Li threatened this servant with the life of a small face, and the slave did not dare not listen."

Linglong smiled and said, "Oh, is that so?"
