my awesome king

Chapter 87

Li Yanshan choked up and said: "I came later, how could I know why you wanted to harm my mother? My mother treated you so well, yet you actually hurt her like this...Your Majesty, woo woo woo..."

"You came later? I saw you coming out of the room and bumped into me on purpose." Mu Shuiqing sneered, put away his anger, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the truth is not what the imperial concubine said. Half an hour ago, Chen Mommy came to the palace to find my concubine and said that the queen mother is seriously ill, that's why I came to the palace to visit my mother." She looked at Nanny Chen beside her, and said kindly, "Mother Chen, are you willing to prove it for me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Chen knelt down in front of Ji Hengyuan in fear and panic, took out the bank notes from her arms in a panic, put her head on the ground, and said in fear: "Return to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has suddenly felt unwell recently, and has been coughing and spitting blood , so the old slave went to the palace to invite the concubine. All the medicinal food and prescriptions of the queen mother were prescribed by the concubine. She was in good health a few days ago, but her condition has become more and more serious recently."

"The princess has always liked the gold bracelet on the Empress Dowager's wrist, but it was the bracelet passed down to the queens of the past. The slaves guessed that the princess asked several times, but the empress refused to give it. So the princess held a grudge and deliberately tampered with the prescription. Today, The concubine also mentioned the gold bracelet, but the empress still refused to give it to her. In a fit of anger, the concubine pushed the empress to the ground and snatched the bracelet from the empress. The empress dowager suddenly fell ill, but the concubine did not let anyone watch the empress helplessly. Struggling painfully on the ground, and finally wanted to use money to buy the servants, let the servants hide the matter, hugged the empress to the bed, and pretended to die of illness... At this time, the imperial concubine and empress came, and the princess ran out in a panic when she saw that there was nowhere to hide Go. The imperial concubine and the concubine were in pain on the bed after seeing their mother. They knew that something was wrong. When they tried to stop the princess, she was mercilessly pushed to the ground, and even kicked the imperial concubine's abdomen hard, causing the imperial concubine to be young. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager returned home on a crane."

Chen Momo said, looked up at Mu Shuiqing, and said with tears in her eyes: "Princess, the queen mother passed away, and the noble concubine had a miscarriage. I can't hide this matter anymore. You should recruit it. You can't make the same mistake again... ..."

The smile on Mu Shuiqing's face froze, and his heart was cut like a knife. He suddenly knew that he was in a deep situation, and he also suddenly knew that the Queen Mother's death might not be as simple as it seems...

She shouted: "You want to frame me by talking nonsense! You say that I deliberately tampered with the prescription, but do you have evidence?!"

At this time, Imperial Physician Lin said: "Today, when I checked the prescription, I saw that the prescription of the Empress Dowager was suddenly changed some time ago. Pinellia is a medicinal material for phlegm, cough and asthma. It was originally [-] grams, but the new prescription is not I wrote five hundred grams." Imperial doctor Lin handed the prescription to Ji Hengyuan, and said in a deep voice, "Later, I verified that this was the prescription sent by the princess, and it was written in the princess's handwriting. Pinellia is rarely used as a medicinal material. But it is a serious poison, excessive dosage will lead to aggravation of the disease, and even fatal. If the minister finds out earlier, maybe the Queen Mother will..."

Ji Hengyuan is very familiar with Mu Shuiqing's handwriting, so at a glance, he recognizes that it is indeed Mu Shuiqing's handwriting.He suppressed the huge anger in his heart, and said in a calm voice: "Just for a gold bracelet, you poisoned your mother?!" He grabbed Mu Shuiqing's wrist, and the sleeve gradually slipped off, revealing the scar on her right wrist. gold bracelet.

Mu Shuiqing's eyes didn't have a trace of fragility, she stood there motionless, even though Ji Hengyuan's excessive force left a mass of purple marks on her wrist, she didn't show any fear.She raised her head, overlooking everything in the hall, as if she was watching a farce.

The queen mother just died... They actually used her death to frame her...

Ji Hengyuan said angrily: "The queen mother takes care of you well, how can you be so vicious!"

Li Yanshan saw that Ji Hengyuan was angry, and sneered in her heart: Mu Shuiqing, you will be blamed for this scapegoat today!

She is about to give birth, and recently Li Yanshan has been worrying about how to hide her early miscarriage.Every day when I greeted the Queen Mother as usual, the usually indifferent Queen Mother suddenly became cordial for some reason, helped her up and said that the labor was painful, and there was no need to greet her recently, just rest well.When she was about to leave, Nanny Chen entered the room and brought tea to the Queen Mother.Unfortunately, the hot water rolled over on her body. When she avoided it angrily, the pillow in front of her belly fell to the ground with a bang.

When Li Yanshan regained her senses in shock, she saw the Queen Mother angrily asking her what happened, why she pretended to be pregnant and sent someone to sue Her Majesty.In desperation, she pushed the queen mother who was about to go out to the ground. Unfortunately, the queen mother hit her head on the pole and fell to the ground, panting and struggling in pain.

As soon as she thought that her majesty knew about the fake pregnancy, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Her reputation and her position as empress would all be shattered by him. .Anyway, this old man is suffering from incurable tuberculosis, and he will die sooner or later. It is also painful to breathe, and she has relieved her early!
Afterwards, Li Yanshan looked fiercely at the stunned Nanny Chen, and told her to help her if she wanted to survive. In the future, there will be prosperity and wealth, and if she dares to tell the truth, she will die!
Later, with a plan in her mind, she blamed Mu Shuiqing for the death of the unborn baby and the Queen Mother, so she asked Imperial Physician Lin, who had been helping her to conceal the fake pregnancy, to come secretly with the dead baby, and then sent people to the palace to summon Mu Shuiqing. clear water.The prescription in the imperial physician's hand was written by her imitating Mu Shuiqing's handwriting. She has fought with Mu Shuiqing in piano chess, calligraphy and painting competitions many times, so she naturally knows her handwriting well.

Unexpectedly, for the first time, Mu Shuiqing could not come.Li Yanshan became anxious when she saw that the morning morning was coming to an end.Fortunately, the second time, Mu Shuiqing came anxiously.Just as she thought, Mu Shuiqing ran in a panic, so when Mu Shuiqing was about to reach the door, she hurried out of the room, pretending to be knocked to the ground by her.It was the place where the queen mother hurt her forehead, where the pole was stained with blood, she squeezed the blood bag hidden in her belly, and screamed in pain, pretending to have a miscarriage to cover up everything.Later, when she saw that Mu Shuiqing had dropped a shoe on the ground, she felt vicious again, so she printed a shoe print on her body, pretending that she had been kicked by Mu Shuiqing to have a miscarriage.

Now there are all the witnesses and material evidence, even Mu Shuiqing was caught by His Majesty on the spot.Such a vicious behavior, let's see how she quibbles!
Mu Shuiqing glanced at the paper, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, I did not write this prescription." This is the original Mu Shuiqing's handwriting, as expected of a talented woman, with delicate and beautiful handwriting, but she is a modern person, although she comes from More than eight months in ancient times, but the calligraphy is still as ugly as ever.

"It's your handwriting, don't hide it, I can recognize it." Ji Hengyuan's eyes were dark and dark, frighteningly deep.

"Your Majesty, just find the prescription I prescribed at the beginning and compare the handwriting. You can tell who is innocent and who is lying at a glance." Mu Shuiqing came to the bed slowly, looked at Chen Rong on the bed, sad The mood still hasn't dissipated, and he slowly lifted the quilt with his hands, touched the skin on Chen Rong's body, and felt the temperature.

She must personally catch the murderer who killed her mother!

Li Yanshan screamed: "What are you going to do to the queen mother!"

Mu Shuiqing didn't pay any attention, she silently said a few words, mother, I'm sorry, then pinched Chen Rong's jaw and opened her lips.

Tuberculosis often dies due to coughing and hemoptysis, resulting in bloody sputum in the throat and difficulty breathing.However, there was no blood or bloody smell in Chen Rong's mouth, which meant that he hadn't coughed up blood before.Her face was bruised and swollen, her pupils were dilated, and her muscles were stiff.It is a symptom of severe hypoxia and death by suffocation, but it is not a clinical response to the onset of tuberculosis.

Mu Shuiqing turned around and said, "Nurse Chen said that my mother suddenly fell ill because of grabbing the gold bracelet, but I didn't let people watch her mother struggle on the ground, causing her death. The onset of tuberculosis must be caused by coughing and hemoptysis." , Has the mother coughed up blood? Why is her mouth so clean and there is no smell of blood? This shows that the mother did not die of illness! It was other deaths."

To prove his innocence, he must find out the loopholes in the lies they made up and break them one by one!

Chen Momo's eyes flickered, and she said: "The Empress Dowager was mad at you to death, and the medicine you gave was very poisonous, so she died without coughing up blood."

"When did I come?"

Mu Shuiqing's sudden irrelevant question caught Chen Momo's attention, and she slowly said, "Half an hour..."

"Half an hour?" Mu Shuiqing smiled, "The body of half an hour is usually warm, but the body of the queen mother is already cold and stiff, it can be seen that she has been dead for more than an hour and a half. If I kill the queen mother, how should I kill the queen mother? When will you die, you can ask the imperial physician and Wu Zuo, but..." Mu Shuiqing pointed at Imperial Physician Lin and frowned, "I don't trust him, can you ask another imperial physician?"

Nanny Chen quickly changed her words: "This servant has a bad memory, I made a mistake before, the princess came here in an hour and a half."

Mu Shuiqing laughed again: "An hour and a half? I don't sneak out of the palace and go back to the mansion for such a long time, waiting to be bumped into by the imperial concubine and captured by His Majesty? Am I a fool?!"

Nanny Chen was choked up by the question.It is true that the queen mother died an hour and a half ago, but Mu Shuiqing did not enter the palace for a long time, so she has been dragging on.

Li Yanshan burst into tears suddenly, and said in pain: "Perhaps you know that I will come to pay respects to my mother every morning, so you deliberately took the time to miscarry me..."

Mu Shuiqing was not angry when he heard this, but smiled lightly: "The imperial concubine said I kicked you, this is really wronged."

"I have your shoe prints on me, don't try to deny it!"

Mu Shuiqing took off her coat, held it in her hands, and asked, "How did I kick you?" She spread the clothes with both hands, and then made a gesture with her feet and asked, "Is this so?"

Li Yanshan thought for a while and said, "That's it."

"determine."

"I'm sure."

"Okay, I kicked."

Mu Shuiqing unfolded the clothes towards Li Yanshan and Ji Hengyuan, and smiled a little strangely: "Everyone, please look at the clothes." Mu Shuiqing happened to be wearing white clothes today, and now there is an obvious shoe print on the clothes, but it is not the same as Li Yanshan The difference on the clothes is that her shoe print is only the front half of the toe, while Li Yanshan's is a complete shoe print, which is extremely clear.

"No matter how you kick it, it is difficult to completely print the entire shoe print on the clothes. Of course it is okay to step on it, but the imperial concubine said I kicked it." Mu Shuiqing raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of coldness, "Your Majesty You intentionally printed my shoes on your clothes in an attempt to count me against me, but you were fooled by your cleverness!"

Li Yanshan's face turned pale, and she scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have been looking forward to the child in my belly for a long time, and it is about to give birth. How could I harm the emperor myself?! At that time, you kicked me in the back of the abdomen, and then I stepped on it so hard that I had a miscarriage, leaving a complete shoe print is natural!"

This is what Mu Shuiqing couldn't figure out the most.No matter how much Li Yanshan hated her, no matter how much she wanted to get rid of her, she wouldn't have to risk the innocent lives of the Queen Mother and the child in her womb.She had imagined the position of empress for a long time, if she gave birth to a prince, she would be the eldest prince, and the principle of making the elder the crown prince would be the future prince.As for the queen mother, although she didn't love her very much, she was very concerned about her pregnancy.Unless, the queen mother knows something...

——In late abortion, the placenta has formed, and the abortion process is similar to premature delivery. The placenta is discharged after the fetus is delivered, and generally there is not much bleeding. The characteristic is that there is often abdominal pain first, and then vaginal bleeding.

Such a sentence suddenly popped into Mu Shuiqing's mind, and she recalled that Li Yanshan was covered in blood at that time, as if soaked in blood, her whole train of thought suddenly became clear.

She has been more than nine months old and is about to give birth. If it is a miscarriage, how can she bleed so much? !The amount of blood is unbelievable!It's not a blood collapse!
There is only one possibility of shedding so much blood: Li Yanshan wanted to frame her, so she pretended to have a miscarriage and bleed.The Queen Mother may have found out about this by accident, so she was silenced.

This poisonous woman!He actually killed a gentle and kind elder for his own benefit!

Mu Shuiqing was heartbroken, and in a fit of anger, rushed to Li Yanshan, and slapped her hard twice in the face.The sound of the sound circled the beam three times in the hall, which shocked everyone present.

His face was instantly swollen from two slaps.Since she was a child, no one has been so rude to her. Li Yanshan was furious, and regardless of her own image, she rushed towards Mu Shuiqing and grabbed her face viciously.Both of them have learned martial arts. Compared with martial arts, Li Yanshan, who learned martial arts from her father since childhood, is actually better. She threw Mu Shuiqing to the ground with ease, first slapped her, and then pulled her hard like a shrew hair, and cursed angrily: "Bitch, you hit me!"

Mu Shuiqing avoided it with difficulty. With red eyes, she turned her head and said to Ji Hengyuan: "The imperial concubine is pretending to have a miscarriage. Her pulse condition is stable, but now her strength is as strong as a cow. I have learned martial arts, but I can't resist it at all. You can't see the slightest sign of qi deficiency in your body!"

When Li Yanshan heard it, she realized that Ji Hengyuan was still there, and she immediately shook her hands in fright, and fell to the ground pretending to be weak, crying out for pain.

"And look, Your Majesty, the blood flow is a bit weird. Miscarriage bleeds, the blood will not be so much. And it is from below. It is incredible that the abdomen of the imperial concubine is also stained with so much blood! Excuse me Where does the imperial concubine bleed? With so much blood, do you want to let Wen Po take a good look at the imperial concubine for hidden diseases?"

"And the baby. Since the imperial concubine just had a miscarriage, where are the placenta and umbilical cord?" Mu Shuiqing looked at Imperial Physician Lin, covering the place where Li Yanshan hurt her cheek, and said with a smile, "The imperial physician doesn't have a knife in his hand, how can I?" Cut off the umbilical cord and bring the baby to His Majesty? Or did the imperial physician randomly pick up a dead baby from somewhere?"

"Nonsense..." Imperial Physician Lin said with a blushing face, "Then...the umbilical cord was...by the minister..."

After all, he is a male imperial doctor, and men and women have great defenses. He doesn't understand some things about women's pregnancy, which are responsible for those women, so they don't know anything about the flow of women's bleeding during childbirth and the connection between the baby and the mother by the umbilical cord.Now I was suddenly stunned by the question, I really couldn't figure it out, how could a woman who had never been pregnant or had a miscarriage know so much? !
Mu Shuiqing took a deep breath, looked at Ji Hengyuan again, knelt down to him seriously for the first time, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the queen mother died for no apparent reason, and there are still people who wronged me. I beg your majesty to investigate the mother's past. The truth of the death, let the concubine be innocent! As for the miscarriage of the concubine, the concubine thinks that the concubine is bleeding so much that she may be seriously ill. I beg your majesty to let the woman take a good look at the concubine's body. After all, if you get used to it in the future Miscarriage is not good for your health. Don’t you think so, imperial concubine?”

Mu Shuiqing's contemptuous glance provoked Li Yanshan to gnash her teeth in secret, but she trembled pitifully on her face: "Your Majesty... the concubine is a precious person, and she just suffered from a miscarriage. How can I let the stable woman inspect the place? How do you let those concubines in the harem look at their concubines..."

Mu Shuiqing came to the Empress Dowager's bed, arranged her remains with trembling hands, then kowtowed three times in a very respectful manner, and said in a correct voice: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, those who harm you will suffer five thunders and ten thousand arrows." The pain that pierces the heart. Your Majesty is so filial, you will definitely catch the real culprit and the accomplices without mercy, punish them severely, and pay you back a hundred times and a thousand times the pain you have suffered!"

Li Yanshan turned pale with fright, and looked timidly at Ji Hengyuan.But seeing him keep his face sullen, looking at Mu Shuiqing with his lips tightly pressed, completely ignoring his pleading just now.

"If there's nothing wrong, I'm going back home!" Mu Shuiqing snorted and passed Ji Hengyuan.

Ji Hengyuan didn't make a sound, Li Yanshan just cried and didn't speak, along the way, no guard dared to stop Mu Shuiqing who had a gloomy and scary face and swaggered away.

She thought full of worry, the queen mother was murdered, and Ji Xiaomo was far away from Beijing, so she didn't even take a last look at her.If he knew, how sad it would be...

How could she tell Xiao Mo about this?

After Mu Shuiqing left, the room was completely silent.Ji Hengyuan walked slowly towards the bed, looking at the lady on the bed, his eyes were full of sadness that others could not understand.

He was fostered in Concubine Shu Palace since he was a child, and he was not close to his own mother. In fact, she yearned for her admiring smile and expectant eyes more than anyone else, but her eyes were always looking at that naughty but extremely intelligent seven Son.

After he tried his best to become the emperor, he once told his mother that he would treat her better than his seventh brother, but she never saw herself. She was terminally ill and depressed, and was always worried about Ji Xiaomo's health.A few days ago, when Ji Xiaomo and Mu Shuiqing entered the palace, he was the one who saw his mother smile after a long absence.Some time ago, she smiled happily and said to him, thank him for finding Ji Xiaomo a good wife.

Now, it's gone like this.

"Return to Your Majesty, the princess's previous prescription has been obtained."

Ji Hengyuan took the prescription silently, the ugly and distorted handwriting on it made his beautiful eyebrows wrinkle together.

When did Mu Shuiqing's handwriting become so ugly? !
Ji Hengyuan threw the prescription in front of Li Yanshan, his black eyes shrouded in cold smoke, seemed to be stained with frost: "I will thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Li Yanshan lay down on the ground in fear, always feeling that those black jade pupils that were icy cold and deep seemed to be able to see through all the truth.
