The fierce wife is in power: the general should not try to escape

Chapter 113 Convicting Cai Jue
The silence in the Daming Palace was tight, and everyone was silent, looking at the emperor above with a look of anger.

The unrepentant corpse of Concubine Yao told her dissatisfaction, the queen knelt there, without her former demeanor.Yao Bin's maid, Cai Jue, was trembling even more, not daring to raise her head.

Perhaps the Daming Palace has been silent for too long, and the empress's momentary panic has also been adjusted by time.In this palpitating atmosphere, the queen suddenly raised her head, tears streaming down her face, with a pitiful appearance.

Seeing the Queen's appearance, Shangguan Lianniang suddenly knew where Zhang Xuan's acting skills came from.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been sitting by your side today without even moving. After Concubine Yao came, this concubine never approached Concubine Yao. Moreover, Concubine Yao was standing next to you when she was drinking that glass of wine. The person in front of Shangguan Lianniang has never stepped onto this high platform! Even if the concubine has arsenic on her body, it cannot be said that the concubine gave the poison!"

Queen Hou really deserved to be a queen, and found a way to exonerate herself so quickly.She was already deep in her thoughts, but she was too flustered just now, now that she has figured out the loopholes in this matter, it is naturally extremely smooth to speak.

This matter has nothing to do with the queen, the queen's posture is very calm, no one looks guilty at all.

What the Empress said was not unreasonable, just now they all saw that Concubine Yao had indeed drank at Shangguan Lianniang's place, and Concubine Yao had not yet reached the high platform at that time.

And this wine was not specially given by the empress. If it is said that the poison was given by the empress, then it is really reluctant.

In this way, the ball finally kicked Shangguan Lianniang again.The queen didn't poison you, only you are the most likely to poison her, you have the motive and the opportunity to kill, you can't blame it even if you want to!
Sensing everyone's gaze, Shangguan Lianniang's forehead was full of black lines, didn't she just want to take a good rest?Why can't these people do what she wants!

No way, Shangguan Lianniang didn't want to bother her upper body, so she could only say: "If the empress said so, then the suspicion of being the minister's wife is indeed relatively high. There is suspicion, so why is the girl Caijue who poured wine for Concubine Yao not even a little bit suspicious?"

After hearing Shangguan Lianniang's words, everyone suddenly realized that there was another person pouring wine.

Because no one thought that such a thing would happen, no one paid attention to who poured the wine for Concubine Yao.At this time, after being mentioned by Shangguan Lianniang, everyone looked at Cai Jue who was trembling.

Cai Jue didn't seem to have thought that this matter would finally fall on her body, and panicked for a moment, saying: "Slave... Slave didn't harm Concubine Yao! No!"

"Miss Caijue, I just said that you are suspicious. Why did you react so strongly? Could it be... a guilty conscience?" Shangguan Lianniang smiled, and Caijue shivered when she saw it.

"Cai Jue, tell me, did you pour Yao concubine's wine!" Seeing that Shangguan Lianniang had a faint tendency to become the leader, the emperor's face darkened, dissatisfied with being ignored, and immediately shouted angrily.

Seeing Shangguan Lianniang splashing dirty water on Caijue, the queen secretly hated her, but she didn't say anything else.After all, she has also become a player in the game now, so she might as well sacrifice Cai Jue to protect herself.

The emperor Xu was very angry, the words he asked were not level, Shangguan Lianniang curled her lips with a disdainful look on her face.

"Back... back to the emperor, the concubine Yao's wine was... poured by the servant. But the servant did not poison it!" Cai Jue's face was covered with a mixture of tears and snot, and she looked extremely disgusted.The emperor turned his face away in disgust, unwilling to look at Cai Jue again.

Xu Shi was bored with this endless tearing scene, Shangguan Lianniang was a little impatient.The more I watch this scene, the more I can't stand it anymore. It's better to end it early so that she can go and see the boys who returned from suppressing the bandits!
She rolled her eyes indiscriminately, Shangguan Lianniang had no idea how cute her expression was in Qi Muyuan's eyes.

"Miss Caijue, you said you didn't poison, so what's in your hand? Flour?" Shangguan Lianniang said lightly, her previous interest was gone, and her tone was a little impatient.

Following Shangguan Lianniang's words, everyone looked at Cai Jue's hand, but they didn't see anything.Seeing this, everyone showed puzzled expressions, wondering how Shangguan Lianniang saw something in Caijue's hand, could it be clairvoyance?
Shangguan Lianniang didn't know what everyone was guessing, she just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.

Rather than staying with this group of people who are at odds with each other, she prefers to train her little bastards, and she can already predict the ugly faces of those little bastards!
Thinking of this, Shangguan Lianniang smiled, and Qi Muyuan immediately pinched Shangguan Lianniang's cheeks when he saw it, until Shangguan Lianniang's smile gradually disappeared from his face.

Receiving Shangguan Lianniang's cold gaze, Qi Muyuan coughed twice, and retracted his hand as if nothing happened.It's just that the faintly flushed cheeks betrayed his thoughts.

The show of affection between the two of them made everyone turn their eyes away and vomit blood in their hearts.

The emperor also had a displeased face, secretly thinking that when he was young, he was much more romantic than them!
Everyone's thoughts were pulled further and further away by Qi Muyuan's actions, but the emperor came back to his senses first and asked the imperial physician to look at Cai Jue's hand.

Cai Jue was afraid, she dared not ask the imperial physician to check, but the imperial physician was not easy to provoke, seeing that Cai Jue wanted to hide, she grabbed Cai Jue's hand, and immediately saw the white powder on it.

After inspecting the white powder in the same way as before, the imperial doctor looked at the blackened silver needle, and somehow heaved a sigh of relief.

"Back to the emperor, it's arsenic."

As if the thunder was exploding in his ears, Cai Jue felt dizzy for a while, and then his eyes went dark, and he couldn't stand it anymore and passed out.

Cai Jue's stupor is equivalent to convicting himself. Now Shangguan Lianniang is no longer in the mood to watch a good show, and the emperor and others are eager to settle the matter soon. How can they wake up Cai Jue and torture him again?

Didn't you see the half-smile of the envoy of Xi Cang?Da Xia lost all face!

Sure enough, after Cai Jue passed out, the emperor pointed at Cai Jue and said, "This girl has malicious intentions to harm Concubine Yao, and even intends to blame the general's wife and the queen. Her heart is to be punished! Someone, take this girl to death!" Take it down, Kill Unforgiven!"

With a wave of the emperor's hand, the imperial guards came in immediately and dragged out the unconscious Cai Jue.

When things got to this point, no one was in the mood to continue the banquet anymore, and the emperor himself was exhausted physically and mentally.

Looking at the people below, the emperor said: "Today is a celebration banquet for Qi Aiqing, but I don't want so many things to happen. Presumably, you Aiqing, all the wives, and the two envoys are tired? So, Let's all go home and rest! The two envoys will be taken to the sleeping hall by Eunuch Liu, so that they can rest for a while, and we can talk about peace talks some other day."

After saying that, the emperor left the Daming Palace with a dark face.The rest of them dared not say anything, looked at each other, and left with their families.
