Chapter 217 Caught

The queen was woken up, and she also felt that this method was good, so she immediately arranged it.

Of course, the group of slaves who were sent back could not be ignored, and they secretly sent people to watch them.

In the end, the news was spread out, saying that the poisoner was caught, but the girl intended to commit suicide and was rescued by the imperial physician. She was still in a coma, and she was temporarily placed in the vacant yard next to Wutong Hall.

It is estimated that the interrogation will continue when the person wakes up.

And the bank note was not hidden, it was announced immediately.

The clues are half hidden and half revealed, which really makes the people behind it unable to sit still.

Finally, on the third night, at midnight, a tall eunuch sneaked into the yard.

In the night, the man took out a pack of medicinal powder from his pocket and poured it into the teapot on the table.

It was also at this time that the thin woman on the bed suddenly jumped up and shouted "Stop the thief."

All of a sudden, all the guards outside rushed in to arrest him.

The eunuch wanted to escape through the back window from when he was there, so he told the court lady to be quick-sighted, so she took the feather duster from the table and beat it.

After such a short delay, the eunuch was caught by the people outside.

Immediately someone went to report to the queen.

At night, the Wutong Hall was suddenly brightly lit, which alarmed many people.

After seeing the eunuch's face, the queen was even more surprised, and immediately sent someone to invite the emperor.

Another group of people went to Magnolia Garden.

"Why are you here all of a sudden, our mother is sleeping." Bai Shuang stopped people outside.

Ding laughed, and his eyes became cold and severe, "After all, it's the concubine De who has a lenient heart, and she can still sleep after hurting someone."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Bai Shuang's complexion changed slightly, and she immediately calmed down again, "I respect you for being someone close to the queen, so I treat you so politely, but our empress is the master, how can you be a slave to arrange it!"

"Hmph, I'm following the Queen's order to call Defei An to go to the Wutong Palace to investigate the case of Honghua. I also ask the girl to be more acquainted. Hurry up and ask Defei to wake up."

After all, Nanny Ding is old and hot, with such an aura, she can calm people down.

And the noise outside woke Concubine Wende up long ago.

In other words, she couldn't sleep at all these days.

After changing her clothes, she was taken to Wutong Hall before she had time to comb her complicated bun.

At this moment Ning Chen was already there.

Ye Yun is also there.

The queen didn't inform her, she came here by herself.

She is a victim of this matter, and there is nothing wrong with her coming, so she stayed and tried the case together.

Concubine Wen De came in with a calm face, and first bowed to the two people in the main seat.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor and queen."

"An Shi, you are so courageous! How dare you murder your concubine? If Ming Jieyu is really pregnant, wouldn't it be that you killed an emperor's heir!"

The queen shouted angrily.

Concubine Wen De's brows twitched twice, and she immediately knelt down, "The queen's words must be based on evidence, the concubine did not do anything, how could she say that she murdered Ming Jieyu?"

In the end, he turned his head to look at Ning Chen.

"Your majesty, you know the concubine. The concubine is not such a vicious person. What's more, the concubine is already a mother, so how could she murder others?"

"It's precisely because you gave birth to the eldest prince, and you were at odds with Ming Jieyu everywhere. You were worried that she would be pregnant and give birth to an emperor's heir, so you just listened to a few speculations and planned to kill him next time!" The queen pressed her eyebrows coldly.

"Isn't the empress dislikes the concubine because the concubine gave birth to the eldest prince? This will convict the concubine. It may not be the queen. You can't get used to the concubine. If you want to deal with the concubine, hurry up!"

Not to be outdone, Concubine Wen De stared closely at the Queen's eyes and pushed back.

Such a confrontation made it really difficult for a while to tell whether Concubine Wen De was lying.

Ning Chen watched quietly for a while, the light in his eyes was frighteningly cold.

Finally, he pointed to the corner next to him and opened his mouth.

"Concubine De, since you said you didn't do it, why did the slaves in your palace want to kill and kill the maid who was found to be taking bribes by poisoning?"

Hearing this, Concubine Wen De was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned her head and looked in the direction he pointed.

The eunuch in the corner was pulled out, and his face was clearly seen, it was the chief eunuch next to Concubine De, Wang Zhong.

The queen raised her brows horizontally, and there was a hint of satisfaction hidden in her eyes.

"The chief eunuch in your palace was caught by this palace and wanted to poison the witnesses. What else do you have to argue about?"

"The concubine doesn't know, the concubine didn't ask him to poison anyone to death, someone must have framed him!" Concubine Wen De still denied it.

And his expression seemed to be a little more determined.

Ye Yun sat beside him and calmly proposed.

"The concubine looked at the concubine's words. Could it be that there is really a grievance in it? If you want to know whether it is true, it is better to interrogate this eunuch."

After a pause, he looked at Bai Lu and Bai Shuang again.

"The maid who is close to her is the one who knows the master's whereabouts best. The concubine thinks that these two should also be interrogated."

"Ye Shi, how dare you!" Concubine Wen De turned her head and glared at her angrily, "Bai Lu Bai Shuang has served me personally for many years, how can I let you humiliate me like an ordinary slave."

"The concubine naturally doesn't dare, the concubine is just a suggestion, why should the empress react so much?" Ye Yun looked at her coldly, his eyes slightly frowned, and his tone slowed down, "Could it be that the empress is guilty and dare not be investigated."

Before Concubine Wen De could speak, Ye Yun stood up and saluted the first two.

"Your majesty, empress, my concubine thinks that safflower is harmful to the heirs of the emperor. Like musk, it is a forbidden item in the harem. There is no other place except the imperial hospital. The concubine thinks that red flowers are used in any palace these days. Flowers, where are they used, check carefully, maybe there are clues to be found."

"Besides, Imperial Physician Shen said that the safflower that the concubine eats is the flower juice extracted from safflower. It must have used a lot of safflower, and there may be some leftover."

As soon as the queen heard this, she was very polite, her eyes lit up, and she said to her side.

"Your Majesty, what Ming Jieyu said is reasonable. Since Concubine Wen De doesn't want to suffer the slaves around her, why not keep it simple and check the details of these slaves."

This is what it means to search the palace.

Today, there are witnesses, but physical evidence is not yet available.

Ning Chen frowned, searching the palace is a big matter, it is always very embarrassing, this decision is not easy to make.

Seeing his hesitation, Concubine Wen De immediately pleaded with tears.

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince is weak, how can he stand up to the fright of searching the palace, and it's still in the middle of the night, so it's hard to avoid frightening the child, which is not good!"

"It's better to have a child after all." Ye Yun suddenly said lightly, "No, it's better to be able to give birth to a child. I'm afraid my concubine will be unlucky in this life. If I eat a dose of safflower, although it didn't make me have a miscarriage, it also called me I never dared to get pregnant again.”

After speaking, he stood up, with some tears in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he blessed his body with his head.

"The concubine was not feeling well, so she resigned first, and troubled the emperor and empress to investigate the case. No matter what the result was, the concubine admitted it, and it has always been like this."
