Chapter 140

This battle lasted for five months. Seeing that Gu Qi was about to leave, there was no trace of Chu Yan's stomach. Now she is a pregnant woman with a big belly.

The hottest summer has passed, and the cicadas chirping on the trees seemed to be endless, and finally disappeared unconsciously.

The people in the imperial dining room still brought tonics every day, and the little eunuch who delivered the food took the reward from the master from Hanzhi, and waited outside with a smile, waiting to go back with empty bowls and food boxes.

It's a pity that Yong'an Palace suddenly became a commotion for some reason, and the little eunuch could hear the noise even standing outside the gate.Just as he was at a loss to probe his head, he was suddenly arrested by a group of palace people brought by Chongshan.

"Your Majesty! The Empress, please spare me! Please spare this slave!" The little eunuch didn't know anything, so he was escorted into the hall, and instinctively knelt down on the ground with a plop and began to beg for mercy, "The slave knows it's wrong, the slave knows it's wrong ...."

Chu Yan was unable to move, so she sat on a chair above the main hall and said indifferently, "Oh? You know what's wrong? Then tell me, what's wrong?"

The little eunuch knelt there in cold sweat, racking his brains but couldn't figure out what he did wrong.He is responsible for delivering tonics to Yong'an Palace every day, and there has never been anything wrong, why did something happen today?

Chu Yan smiled: "You don't even know where your mistake is, so where do you know it's wrong?"

These days, she has been tossed by calf cramps and swollen limbs, and she has trouble sleeping and eating. She is often awakened by the severe pain of calf spasms in her sleep, and then Hanzhi will rush to rub her for her. It has been a long time before she falls asleep again. After that.

At the beginning, she didn't have any symptoms of nausea, and she was still thankful that her pregnancy was not as difficult as others, but only now did she realize that all the difficulties were later.

Just like today, the tonic that has always been good was poisoned by someone. If she drank it, she would be killed and killed twice now.

Chu Yan could tell at a glance that the little eunuch who delivered the food didn't know anything. If he knew that the tonic was poisonous, he probably wouldn't have brought it to him so happily anyway, because if something happened to her, she would be the first to die. it's him.

She rubbed the center of her brows wearily: "Send it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and lock it up first, and deal with it when the truth comes to light."

The imperial physician who hurried over looked at the dead plant carefully, then picked up a handful from the wet soil, put it up to his nose and smelled it, and his expression changed: "Empress, it's a hook kiss."

hook kiss?Actually saw hook kiss again.

Chu Yan thought of Chongzheng who almost died because of a hook kiss last time, and her expression slowly sank. Wanxi stood aside with her head bowed, waiting for orders with a solemn expression. Chu Yan only said one word: " check."

She has always talked a lot, she can talk to people with a smile, and she can talk to others in a calm manner without avoiding or evading, but now there is only one simple word, Wanxi suddenly understands the seriousness of the matter .

The queen doesn't get angry easily, once she gets angry, the harem will definitely be in turmoil.

Chu Yan's expression was very calm, and she was slowly stroking her baby with her right hand. If she could tolerate the other party's doing such a thing today, threatening the lives of her and the child, then her ten years in the palace would be in vain.

Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, the murderer was doomed.

The news that the queen was almost poisoned quickly spread in the harem, and all the people on duty in the imperial dining room were called out, and Wanxi led them to interrogate one by one.

For three whole days, the palace was in a state of restlessness. People were constantly being tortured because they were too suspicious. Some people were even beaten to death because their testimony was debunked.

The Empress Dowager drove Yong'an Palace again, scolded her and vowed not to stop until the palace was turned upside down, Chu Yan only asked lightly: "According to your old man's wishes, I should take the flesh and blood in my arms to His Majesty the King of Hell. Was it reported there?"

The Empress Dowager was so blocked that she couldn't speak, and finally walked away with a straight face. Chu Yan looked at her back, knowing that she must be slandering her if she was really poisoned to death, then she would be happy Pu Ben.

However, under strict investigation, firstly, they killed chickens to make an example of monkeys, and let everyone know what it means to steal chickens without losing rice; On the verge of dying, it came from the truth—on the day the poisonous tonic was sent to Yong'an Palace, Qing Zhu, Shen Ronghua's personal maid, had gone to the imperial dining room.

The eunuch who cooked the soup was found with the purse of broken silver that Qingzhu gave him, and Wan Xi relentlessly ordered the execution to continue until he confessed.

When the eunuch stopped, he almost fainted from fright, and quickly told the truth, saying that Qingzhu wanted him to get some nourishing medicine to stew, he left the soup room for a quarter of an hour, and he didn't know what happened during that time.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need to ask the following questions, why does the good-looking green bamboo need nourishing medicine?God knows what Qingzhu did during the time the eunuch left the imperial dining room.

Wan Xi unequivocally sent the eunuch to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and went to Chu Yan to explain the whole story in person. Chu Yan's face darkened, it was really her?

Looking at the harem, Shen Xin is probably the one who dislikes her the most, but Chu Yan thinks that Shen Xin will not be so stupid as to add medicine to the tonic?This is the worst trick in Gongdouju.

When Qing Zhu and Shen Xin were brought to Yong'an Palace, both the master and servant had expected the reason for their trip. After all, what happened in the harem these past few days caused people to panic, and everyone knew it well.

Qing Zhu was so panicked that her legs were trembling, and Shen Xin's face lost all color. She looked at the cloudy sky, her lips trembled twice, and finally she only said in a low voice: "It looks like it's going to rain."

The little eunuch who led the way was from the House of Internal Servants and also a young apprentice of Wanxi. Thanks to his master, he also had a high status among the group of eunuchs. He smiled and said softly, "Master Rong Hua said That's right, isn't it just about to rain? I don't know how many people will be happy when the rain comes after a long drought."

Shen Xin shook her body and didn't speak any more.

That's right, when she fell down, she didn't know how many people in the harem would be so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.A group of women have no grievances and no enmity, just because they are the same people in the vermilion deep palace, they all hope that the other party will die sooner, but in fact even if the other party dies, they will not get any benefits at all.

It's a pity that she didn't have the chance to see through it.

It was Wanxi's decision to call the master and servant to Yong'an Palace for interrogation. When Chu Yan knew about it, Shen Xin was already waiting outside Yong'an Palace.

"Do you want the slaves to invite them in, and the empress will send them out in person?" Wan Xi respected the empress empress who had won the king's heart.

However, Chu Yan glanced at the dark sky, and said calmly: "It's gone, I have chest tightness, I don't want to say more. The matter has come to light, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Dali Temple have the final say on how to deal with it. The father-in-law's kindness, I don't want to say anything." Thanks for that."

Naturally, she would not know that Wanxi called the two of them here because she wanted her to express her anger in person, and what should be slapped and blamed, isn't it just a word from her?
Outside Yong'an Palace, Shen Xin learned that Chu Yan didn't intend to see her from Chong Shankou who came out to communicate, and finally smiled bitterly twice. It seems that the queen didn't even give her the last chance. At first, she thought about it. How to plead and how to justify, now it seems that she really has nowhere to go.

There was a thunder in the air, dark clouds covered the sky, and the sky was dark.

Shen Xin only had time to look up at the sky, and the big raindrops began to fall densely. Standing under the eaves of the door, Chong Shan looked at Shen Xin coldly, and said: "Master Shen Ronghua committed a heinous crime, intending to murder the empress and her belly. The child in the middle, my mother is kind, and I don’t want to be harsh on you, but God has eyes, and people with bad hearts will eventually reap the consequences. Please also let Master Ronghua move to the Ministry of Punishment. The servant is here to see you off. I hope You are a blessed person, don't do evil in your next life, and live your life well."

Qingzhu was already crying and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Empress, please spare my life! This servant is wronged, and this servant doesn't know anything! Even if you give this servant the courage, this servant will not dare to harm you. I beg the empress to learn from you..."

The rain was densely pouring on the ground, as well as on the master and servant, not to mention that the rain was so loud at this time, even if it wasn't raining, Chu Yan who was inside the bedroom might not be able to hear the begging for mercy outside the Yong'an Palace. After all, there are so many houses.

Shen Xin had no expression on her face, she only smiled lowly, and glanced at the green bamboo on the ground: "What are you doing in vain? It's too late, it's too late."

Her delicate makeup had been washed away by the heavy rain, and her jet-black hair stuck to her cheeks, and the cold rainwater slid down her temples, making her look a little more embarrassed.She stood there upright, and suddenly remembered many pictures.

She was born in a famous family like the queen, but the queen has always had more than her, but she has an extra mother who is the prince's biological mother as an aunt, so the journey is smoother than her, and she has obtained so many things that she can't get even after all her efforts .For example, the queen's position, the emperor's favor, and... the heart of that unattainable man.

It is difficult for Shen Xin to find the right words to describe such a person. Ever since she can remember, she can distinguish his figure in the crowd at a glance, because his posture is always as straight as a vigorous green bamboo, and his expression is as elegant as a mountain when he talks and laughs. Bai Xue, once showing a smile, is so gentle that it can melt the most solid ice in winter.

...It's a pity that in the end, she couldn't find that kind of eyes, that kind of tenderness when he looked at her.

She finally smiled, glanced at the flamboyant handwriting on the gate of Yong'an Palace, bumped her head against the vermilion pillar, and after a dull sound, everyone was stunned.

The bright red liquid quickly flowed all over the ground, but was washed away by the heavy rain, leaving only a light red.

The torrential rain was merciless.
