Chapter 242

In Jingren Palace, Xiu Yu was thinking about what kind of lesson he should give to those who spread rumors, when Qing Luo hurriedly rushed outside, and said before she even had time to salute: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The imperial concubine has been poisoned, and Lord Long Live has already had people thoroughly investigate, just now the person from Chengqian Palace came to spread the word that Lord Long Live sent all the masters of the palaces to Chengqian Palace."

"Poisoned!?" Xiu Yu frowned, the imperial concubine's broken body had already been poisoned by many chronic poisons, could it be that the toxins in her body had exploded.

"Yuntang, prepare your chariot and go to Chengqian Palace."

In the main hall of Chengqian Palace, many concubines have already arrived.After seeing the ceremony with everyone, Xiu Yu sat in her seat. Although she didn't agree with Concubine Rong, but now the situation is special and it's not the time to care about it. Xiu Yu asked Concubine Rong: "What's going on? How is the imperial concubine?"

"I just said it was poisoned, the imperial physician is treating her, and Lord Long Live is investigating the real culprit. I don't know anything else." Concubine Rong is also someone who can tell the situation clearly, but she doesn't ignore Xiu Yu.

The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive, no one spoke anymore, and everyone waited silently.Down
Xiu Yu sat quietly and slowly released her spiritual consciousness to spread around. She wanted to cover the entire Chengqian Palace at once, but she didn't dare to 'check' wantonly when Kangxi was also in Chengqian Palace.Xiu Yu never dared to probe Kangxi with her spiritual sense since she was backlashed by the dragon's energy last time.

The concubines and concubines in the main hall had to wait in agony. Outside the hall, Liang Jiugong and Madam Dong turned the entire Chengqian Palace upside down. Within an hour, they found out the poison that poisoned the imperial concubine, the murderer who poisoned the imperial concubine, and the mastermind behind it. evidence.

"Long Live Lord." Liang Jiugong held a tray in his hand, and the objects on the tray were covered with a cloth. Liang Jiugong's hand holding the tray was shaking.

Kangxi's eyes fell on the tray, and he knew it was evidence without lifting it, but he was curious about what made Liang Jiugong tremble like this.Kangxi instructed Liang Jiugong to open it to have a look, and saw that it was a red gold hairpin inlaid with rubies and seven phoenixes.As soon as Kangxi saw this jade hairpin inlaid with rubies, seven phoenixes and red gold, Kangxi immediately thought of two people, one was the poisoned imperial concubine, and the other was Jing concubine.

In the harem, there were only two hairpins, made of silk and beads, inlaid with rubies, seven phoenixes and red gold. her.

"Liang Jiugong, you go to Jingren Palace yourself, and find out the one from Chengqian Palace."

"Whoo."

Liang Jiugong came out of the house and touched the cold sweat on his forehead. Looking up at the dead leaves falling in the July sky, Liang Jiugong felt chills in his heart. He was afraid that the sky would change in the harem.

Half an hour later, Liang Jiugong came back empty-handed, and Li Dequan of Chengqian Palace was standing beside Kangxi holding another red gold hairpin made of silk and beads inlaid with rubies and seven phoenixes.

"Report to the Lord Long Live, but the slave didn't find it. I looked through the servants in Jingren Palace and found that it was lost." Liang Jiugong lowered his head and stared at the stone bricks on the ground, thinking of Concubine Jing in his heart, the slave could only do it for him. You did it.

"Li Dequan, take your things with you." Kangxi walked towards the main hall with a solemn face.

"Long Live Lord is here." Hearing the announcement, all the concubines stood up and saluted.

"Greetings to Lord Long Live."

"Get up, sit down."

All the concubines sat down as promised, but they all stood up straight and their faces were solemn and nervous.The concubines all wondered in their hearts whether the Lord Long Live had found out that the murderer was convenient, and whether he would be framed.

"The imperial concubine is the head of the harem. She has served me in the palace for more than ten years. She has served me in the Yuan Dynasty and the successor. She took care of the harem for me to make me feel at ease. She also gave birth to eight princesses for me. They all have merits and hard work, and I really miss their hard work. Now that you don’t know how to be grateful, you dare to poison the imperial concubine recklessly, it is the worst evil, and I must severely punish them.”

The majestic and cold voice with a suffocating air fell on the hearts of all the concubines like ice, and they all shuddered.

"Murdering the imperial concubine is a felony to exterminate the family. If you confess on your own, I won't hold you and the rest of the family. Have you thought about it clearly?" Kangxi's eyes swept over everyone, and everyone felt as if they were pierced by ice needles, terrified. I was afraid that Kangxi's eyes would stay on him.

Seeing that no one admitted it, Kangxi signaled Li Dequan to take out the evidence with his eyes.

Kangxi suddenly nodded to Xiuyu: "Concubine Jing."

Xiu Yu suddenly felt as if she had fallen into the bottom of the ice valley, and her whole body was as cold as a snowy October day. Almost at the same moment, Xiu Yu thought that she had been framed again, someone wanted her life!Although shocked and horrified in her heart, Xiu Yu still got up and knelt down in the hall without losing her posture: "The concubine is here."

"Li Dequan showed her." Li Dequan put the plate in front of Concubine Jing and lifted the cover, only to see a dazzling red gold hairpin inlaid with silk and beads, rubies, seven phoenixes, and several pieces of paper, presumably it was a confession.The golden light from the golden hairpin hurt Xiu Yu's eyes, and for the first time, Xiu Yu felt that the gold color was actually not pretty.

When Xiu Yu saw the brand-new, never-before-worn hairpin inlaid with rubies and seven phoenixes, she immediately knew it was hers. Yes, there are servants in Jingren Palace who have betrayed the master, and she is very angry.

As soon as the hairpin came out, all the concubines were shocked and relieved, and after listening to Li Dequan's confession of the servant, all the concubines almost believed in their hearts that Concubine Jing was the murderer, and then some people carefully pointed out that Xiu Yu was the real murderer.

"Concubine Jing, do you have anything else to say?"

Hearing Kangxi's words, I don't know if it was her illusion, Kangxi seemed to be waiting for her to explain, Xiu Yu kowtowed: "Long live, my concubine was wronged, and my concubine never poisoned the imperial concubine."

"Concubine Jing, do you still dare to quibble now that there is physical evidence? We have been sisters in the palace for many years. Sister Jing Concubine, you have always been gentle and gentle, but I don't want you to be so vicious on the surface, and you dare to poison the imperial concubine. The crime is heinous. The concubine asks Long Live Lord to severely punish Concubine Jing and give an explanation to the imperial concubine and the sisters in the harem." Concubine Rong was the first to fall into trouble, and she was furious, with a look of righteousness and stern speech for the imperial concubine.

It's just that she wanted to fight Concubine Jing too much, but she forgot that no one who is strong will end well.

"Long live, my concubines don't believe that this is what Concubine Jing did. Everyone in the harem knows that only imperial concubines and Concubine Jing have this hairpin in the harem. How can Concubine Jing be so stupid? Using the golden hairpin to bribe slaves to poison the imperial concubine, Lord Long Live must be someone who wants to frame Concubine Jing, please also ask Lord Long Live to investigate clearly and return Concubine Jing innocent."

Concubine Yi knelt down beside Xiu Yu to plead for Xiu Yu's plea. In fact, Concubine Yi wished that Concubine Jing would fall immediately, because only after Concubine Jing's downfall could she have a chance to rise to power.But she absolutely didn't want Concubine Jing to be abolished with such a crime. The felony of murdering the imperial concubine, such as murdering the imperial concubine, must not fall on Guo Luoluo.She and Concubine Jing are of the same origin, and they are sisters from the same mother. If Concubine Jing commits this felony, not only will she be deposed, but the Guo Luoluo family will also be implicated in the confiscation of their homes. It is possible for the little one to die, not only her but also her children. If there is an aunt like Concubine Jing, her children will lose the chance to compete for that position forever.

Therefore, Concubine Jing must not be charged with such a crime, and she had to defend Concubine Jing.

"Concubine Yi's words are wrong. If such a big matter as murdering the imperial concubine is not bribed with valuables, then how can there be a slave willing to risk his head to work for Concubine Jing Jing? Concubine Jing is no better than the Empress Dowager The silk and pearls inlaid with rubies and seven phoenix red gold hairpins are more precious things. Long live Lord, Long live Lord has found physical evidence, and there are slaves' confessions. The empress is the master, severely punish the murderer to comfort the poisoned and seriously injured imperial concubine empress." The concubine Duan, who hadn't been seen for a long time, suddenly jumped out, cunningly quibbling, every word wanted to sentence Xiu Yu to death.

"Concubine Jing and my concubines have always thought that you are the kindest person. Although the imperial concubine dealt with Mr. Li and caused your reputation to be hurt by rumors, the imperial concubine has already apologized to you. How can you bear it?" The Lord poisoned the imperial concubine because of this trivial matter." Concubine An touched her tears, her gentle words actually fabricated Xiu Yu's motives for murdering the concubine, this may be more poisonous than concubine Duan's direct point.

Many concubines also posted a note, all wanting to convict Concubine Jing.

The nobleman then knelt down: "Long live, Concubine Jing is always respectful and humble to the imperial concubine on weekdays, she dare not be disrespectful, she is also tolerant and kind to the concubines, it is difficult for the concubine to have many times, thanks to Concubine Jing Concubine Jing was able to save her life. How could a person with such a kind heart like Concubine Jing do such a vicious thing to poison the imperial concubine. Concubine Jing is in the deep palace, how can she get such a poison? Such viciousness must come from outside the palace. Come on, it is really dangerous to leave such viciousness in the palace, please also ask Long Live to thoroughly investigate the source of the poison, track down the poison, and find out the real mastermind of the murderer, so as to restore the innocence of Concubine Jing and the sisters in the harem."

"Long Live Lord, please investigate and return Concubine Jing's innocence." Ding Guiren, Lu Changzai and others knelt down to plead for Xiu Yu.

"Concubine Jing, do you have an excuse?" Kangxi's face did not change from the beginning to the end, and everyone couldn't see his expression or tell what he was thinking.

"Long live, my concubine is wronged. It's exactly what Sister Yipin said. The hairpin made of silk and beads inlaid with rubies and seven phoenixes was given to my concubine by the Empress Dowager at the full moon of the thirteenth elder brother. The harem rules are custom-made." Only noble concubines are allowed to wear red gold hairpins made of silk, pearls, inlaid with rubies and seven phoenixes. The concubines never dare to exceed the rules. The concubines have never brought this golden hairpin and kept it in the concubine's treasury. The concubines really don't know this golden hairpin How could it be stolen, and someone would use it to frame his concubine?

Although the concubine is a little girl, she also thinks that she is not a person who cares about everything. The matter of Li Guiren has already been clearly informed by the imperial concubine to the harem. Why did the concubine take the risk of being exposed and murder the imperial concubine?

Furthermore, there is no conflict of interest between the concubine and the imperial concubine, and the concubine is also sincerely convinced that the imperial concubine is the first in the harem.

The concubine already has three sons and two daughters under her knees, and fortunately, Long Live God values ​​Meng Xing. Being a concubine is already very honorable. The concubine is the biological mother of five children. It is necessary to know that the mother is willing to die for the sake of the child. Concubine The same is true.Even if a concubine is a concubine for the sake of the child, she will not commit a felony that is tantamount to a felony that is of no benefit to the concubine or the child.Furthermore, the concubine is already one of the four concubines in the harem, and the honor in the harem is second only to the imperial concubine, so how can such a noble concubine be abandoned.Long live God Mingjian! "

"But now that the evidence is there, how can you convince me that you are not the mastermind?"

"Long live lord, the concubine knows that his defense is weak, but the concubine is wronged and unwilling to take the same place. I implore the concubine to give the concubine a day to find evidence to prove that he is clear. The concubine can order someone he trusts to assist. Supervise the courtiers and concubines."

Xiu Yu kowtowed again, she believed that Kangxi would definitely give her this chance, she believed that Kangxi had absolutely no intention of punishing her for this crime, her life has been under Kangxi's surveillance for this year, has she been wronged, she doesn't believe in Kangxi I don't know.Although I don't know the purpose or purpose of Kangxi's public trial of her, she must not be someone else's scapegoat.
