Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 436 Seeing through the treachery (3)
"Lord Song Yan, where did you know that rumors spread all over the capital? Such nonsense rumors are clearly malicious slander and malicious slander. You know it is a rumor, but you are building momentum for it. Mad dog barking at the sun, aren't you helping the evildoers?" Before Song Yan finished speaking, Cheng Rong sneered and retorted loudly.

"Master Cheng, you are not forming a party for personal gain, are you? Concubine Ge secretly poisoned Concubine Xin, and the guards arrested her on the spot. How could it be nonsense? Your Majesty, the empress is protecting Concubine Ge, which naturally makes people suspicious. Please be careful, Your Majesty. .” Song Yan quibbled.

"That's enough, my dear ones, if you have any other political affairs, hand over the memorial immediately, don't be stuck in such pretentious matters." Ming Gong turned his eyes and quickly changed the subject.

The former imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi did not dare to be negligent, and immediately went down the jade steps, collected the memorials of the officials one by one, and presented them to Ming Gong. The concubine's matter was almost unanimous.

"Your Majesty, public outrage is hard to offend. Please, Your Majesty, thoroughly investigate the Punishment Department immediately to see if Concubine Xin and Concubine Ge are imprisoned, and if there are rumors, then the truth will come to light!" Song Yan shouted loudly.

Ming Gong let out a long sigh, waved his hand, signaled to retreat, and rode on the dragon chariot, went straight to the Shuilong Shuren Hall. The scholar is waiting in the palace, please see the king if you have something to do."

"What? Si'er came first." Minggong's spirit was shaken, and he hurried into the hall. At this moment, Empress Bao Si was kneeling down at the steps to welcome her, the golden phoenix on her temples was shining, charming and luxurious.

"Si'er, get flat quickly, your body is weak, the widow told you not to kneel." Ming Gong hurriedly helped Bao Si up with concern, and smiled happily.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are late. Seeing that the King is busy with government affairs these few days, some matters have not been clarified, so I dare not bother the Holy Master." Bao Si said lightly with her red lips.

"Have you found out now?" Ming Gong took advantage of the situation and asked.

"I found out that the concubine came here to report. Concubine Jing reported that concubine Xin had secretly poisoned the soup through concubine's jade bowl in the imperial dining room. Changtai, the little eunuch in the middle school, and Imperial Physician Zhou checked on the spot and found that the soup was indeed poisoned with chronic poison. This is the result of the inspection recorded by Imperial Physician Zhou on the same day, please take a look at it.” After Baosi finished speaking, he passed the imperial hospital The brochure was handed up.

Ming Gong took a closer look, and said angrily, "This Concubine Xin has committed a heinous crime. By the way, Si'er, what's the matter with Concubine Ge? Why is it rumored that she tried to poison Concubine Xin and kill people to silence her?"

Baosi said bluntly: "The concubine has already verified that the food that Concubine Ge brought that day was packaged by someone. The proof is that there is no poison in Concubine Ge's palace, and Concubine Ge was also afraid of Concubine Xin's that day. The person who framed Concubine Ge behind the scenes is the chief culprit who encouraged Concubine Ge to deliver cakes, but secretly dropped the food."

"Then who is this person?" Mingong suddenly became enlightened.

"The concubine believes that the culprit is the person who spread rumors outside." Bao Si said seriously.

"Your Majesty, do you think you want to pursue this matter further?" Concubine Jing who was beside Baosi also knelt down and asked at this time.

"Si'er, what do you think?" Ming Gong stared at Bao Si with trust in his eyes.

"The concubine thinks that the best way is to bring Concubine Xin to justice and let the matter be settled without further investigation." Bao Si resolutely replied.

"Okay, let's make an order to execute Concubine Xin." Ming Gong nodded.

"Your Majesty, the concubine's intention is not to give Concubine Xin the death. On the contrary, Concubine Xin should be publicly announced her crimes, and confine Concubine Xin in the palace, so as not to die. Concubine Xin believes that there are rumors and contradictions behind the scenes. The most culprits are the people in the harem, none of them will be fine." Bao Si persuaded vigilantly.

"Okay, let's do it like this, Si'er. In the early morning court today, all the officials suddenly gathered together to slander and attack. I am a little suspicious. Among them, there must be someone who is secretly tricking and deliberately instigating. If I want to know who this person is, I will definitely kill him." A corpse in ten thousand pieces!" Ming Gong gritted his teeth.
